Chapter 337: A Little Miracle (2nd Watch)
"When moving in the ruins, you must pay attention to your surroundings and act as silently as possible so as not to provoke the zombies around you. They have a keen sense of hearing and are as good at hiding as cockroaches. Once one is found, it means that there are a hundred hiding in the shadows. ”
Between the dilapidated buildings, an uncle in body armor lowered his voice and explained the situation to the little boy next to him.
The boy's eyes were tightly closed, and there were no eyeballs under his eyelids, and when he was asked to act silently, he immediately covered his mouth, indicating that he would not make any sound.
Rubbing the boy's head with satisfaction, the uncle slowly walked the boy into the building, and followed the abandoned escalator to the basement floor.
The emergency power here is still working, the groundwater has not yet seeped in, and although there are traces of panic after the zombie raid everywhere, the lights in front of the supermarket are luckily on.
Pointing to the supermarket mark, the uncle said: "The place we are going to enter now is a supermarket, which often contains daily necessities of food, filled water and various daily necessities. Don't eat food that has rotted and don't touch food that has liquid. However, if it is a sealed can, then it can be eaten. ”
The boy grabbed the uncle's clothes and tilted his head curiously, as if asking, "What is canned food?" ”
"Iron-clad ...... Hush. ”
Holding the boy's head, the uncle took the boy to hide under the cashier at the door, and then heard footsteps walking past the two of them.
The opponent's steps are very light, and the weight of his body is about forty-five kilograms, but it would be a mistake to conclude that the other party has little strength based on his weight alone.
In the last settlement, the uncle saw with his own eyes that the three-millimeter-thick steel plate was torn by the sharp nails of the other party, and a large number of soldiers resisted with heavy weapons, but they still could not destroy more and more zombies, and completely fell.
All the inhabitants were bitten by the zombies and assimilated in a very short time, then rushed towards their companions.
Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, the uncle had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps suddenly speed up, accompanied by a sound like a silver bell coming towards them.
"Oops!"
Standing up decisively, he saw that the zombies that had gone and returned had rushed towards him.
Unlike zombies in the traditional sense, these zombies look no different from ordinary people, and even have their own intelligence.
But their three views have been reshaped by death, and all that remains is the endless desire to kill the living.
The beautiful appearance was close in front of him, but he had no intention of appreciating it.
The crossbow machine was already in his hand, and the crosshair was aimed at the opponent's head, and then quickly pulled the trigger.
The victory and defeat were only between lightning and fire, and after staggering each other, the zombie's head had been pierced by a crossbow arrow, and then fell not far away.
But this is not enough.
The other party's body is almost immortal, and even if it is burned to ashes, it can be reborn from the ashes. The fatal injury just now could only make her temporarily stop moving, and when her head was repaired, the other party would immediately rush over.
Pulling the little boy, the uncle immediately fled to the depths of the supermarket, and behind him, the zombie who had been hit by the arrow stood up again, and then walked towards him with a smile.
Her head had been pierced, but her movements were not affected, and instead she was rushing towards them with both hands and feet.
Turning his head to take a look, the uncle scolded secretly: "It's a mutant." ”
rushed all the way into the elevator, and the uncle didn't care to close the elevator immediately, and then heard a piercing scratching sound.
The door of the elevator could not resist for long, and the force of the other party could even screw the steel pipe, and it was only a matter of time before the thick door was breached.
They have to go!
But the elevator is also unsafe, and this place that used to allow people to quickly switch between different floors has now become something of a strange existence.
As he travels between floors, he will lead people to different dimensions, some of which are even more dangerous than zombies.
However, there is nothing they can do.
Let the little boy obediently pull himself, and the uncle withstood the harsh scratching sound outside, and began to study the floor here.
Although the space of the elevator has been distorted, it will still change according to the previous corresponding floor.
Of course, this is not absolute, everything depends on luck.
The dining area is not to be visited, and the ingredients there are likely to be theirs.
You can't go to the costume area either, and there is a good chance that the costume puppets there will come back to life and attack them.
The library area is not good.,There's a high probability that the content in the book will materialize and then be polluted.,Death immediately after entering is the best ending.,What's more terrifying is that some plots are worse than death.。
Finally, he set his sights on the entertainment layer.
The entertainment floor is a relatively safe place, but only relatively speaking.
The danger factor in other areas can reach 10,000, then there may be only 5,000.
In his former settlement, there are occasionally people who are forced to go to the entertainment floor, but some of them can come back alive, which shows that there is a possibility of survival there.
Taking a deep breath, the uncle clenched the crossbow in his hand, and then said to the little boy: "For a while, if I am in danger, then leave me alone, you flee as soon as possible." Stairs with a green light are safe, and red ones are not allowed to be walked. No, you can't see ...... Then listen to the sound, where the wind is more urgent, it is safe, and where there is wind but there is a faint laughter is dangerous. There may be more than one staircase on a floor, try to find a safe staircase and leave. ”
The boy grabbed the corner of his uncle's clothes tightly and nodded vigorously.
Gently rubbed the boy's head, and the scar on the uncle's face didn't look so hideous.
"You are new children, and hope is with you. Remember, nothing is more precious than hope, and that's the only motivation to stay here. Let's go. ”
Pressing the button on the entertainment floor hard, the feeling of being overweight appeared, causing them to slowly rise towards the fifth floor.
The piercing scratching sound disappeared behind him, and the closed elevator slowly entered another world at this time, and a slight feeling of dizziness hit, making the uncle almost fall, but he was immediately prepared.
A short time later, the door opened.
The entertainment floor on the top floor looked very dark, and there was a dead silence all around, so that even the uncle could hear his heart beating violently.
Protecting the boy, he first threw out a bottle with a mouse seal, and then hit the mouse with his own searchlight.
The rat in the plastic bottle began to squeak, and the unfamiliar environment made the rat restless, but it didn't seem to be a problem.
With a long breath, the uncle took out a glow stick and threw it out.
The glow of the glow sticks lit up the surroundings, allowing him to see that it was already on the top floor of the building, and that all the entertainment facilities were placed here, all brand new, which was out of step with the atmosphere of the end times.
The more abnormal the place, the more attention must be paid to safety, so the uncle did not relax his vigilance because of the quietness here, but said to the little boy: "Don't use anything here, don't drink the water here, everything here is disorderly, and the probability of error is far higher than the probability of safety." ”
The boy tugged at the other's clothes again and tilted his head in confusion.
"Don't you know what probability is? It is...... I can't explain it well, the word is a bit abstract. You should listen to the teacher, but ...... Forget it, you know it's dangerous anyway. What was the safe word I told you earlier, do you remember? ”
The boy nodded, then gestured to a three.
"Yes, there are three words. Keep these three words in mind and follow me closely. If I disappear, run immediately. If I come back, ask me for safe words. Do you understand? ”
The boy nodded.
"Good boy."
Walking in with the uncle, although the boy's eyes could not see, his hearing and skin were unusually sensitive, and he could sense nearby objects from the surrounding breeze.
And the uncle also explained the situation here as he walked.
"There's a merry-go-round, which is a constant rotation in a circle, and there are mounts next to it that can sit down, and these mounts are carved into different shapes of animals, and even vehicles."
"There's the Ocean Ball, which is full of plastic balls, and a lot of fist-sized plastic balls are piled up here, and I loved playing here when I was a kid."
"There's a lot of sand, and there's all kinds of fun toys in the sand, and it's especially interesting to have a castle with sand."
The boy listened quietly, and his face involuntarily showed a look of yearning.
Everything he had never seen before, but he wanted to experience. The temptation here was even greater than he imagined, but he still obeyed his uncle's orders and followed him all the time, never leaving.
Just when they thought there was nothing else going on, the lights around them suddenly turned on.
A dazzling light illuminated the place, and the situation of the entire entertainment floor immediately appeared in front of the two of them, and the sound of pleasant music sounded, and the surrounding facilities began to operate at this time.
The waiter in a bunny doll costume appears here, with an exaggerated smile on a white mask, and the blood on the corner of his mouth indicates that he is definitely not as kind as he seems.
"Welcome to our death playground, it looks like we have two distinguished guests today. Excuse me, which of you will die first? ”
The uncle immediately pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow accurately shot into the opponent's left eye, causing the opponent to let out a piercing scream.
After shooting the arrow, he immediately picked up the boy by the waist, and then quickly retreated backwards, constantly looking for a safe exit.
The music around him became louder and louder, and the noisy sound seemed to have millions of mosquitoes roaring in his ears, and with this noisy sound, the uncle found that everything in front of him was blurry, and his physical strength was rapidly declining, and finally he even lost some strength in holding the boy.
However, he still stubbornly took off all his equipment, and the bulky backpack fell behind him, many of which were treasures he had painstakingly collected, and were good helpers for him to survive in this strange and chaotic world, but now is not the time to pity these items.
The shedding of the equipment made his body lighter, and the green safety exit appeared in front of his eyes, giving him a glimmer of hope.
But just as he reached the exit, his hand already on the exit door, he felt something around his leg, causing him to fall forward.
Before he landed, he was keenly aware that he had been captured.
Immediately throwing the boy out, he shouted at the boy, "Run! The road is in front of you, run! ”
The boy who landed on the ground turned his head, and the horror on his face flashed.
He didn't stop, just obeyed his uncle's orders and ran forward.
The door in front of him was slammed open by him, the pain of the impact made him scream involuntarily, his shoulder was broken in the impact just now, the hot pain made him more awake, and he ran down faster.
Uncle said that when going down the stairs, hold on to the handrails.
Uncle said that you can't count the steps at this time.
Uncle said that if he dies one day, there is no need to miss him.
Uncle, I can't do it......
The boy with tears on his face stumbled up the stairs, he fell again and again, but he got up again and again, the pain and fear made him tremble, but the uncle's instructions made him get up again and run forward.
I don't know how long it took, but he felt like he was at the end.
Another door was pushed open, and he could feel the air on the other side freshen, the feeling of danger disappearing, but the music around him did not stop.
He could feel people around him, but he didn't know who they were. Although the uncle said that you should not make a noise in an unknown place so as not to encounter something bad, the situation is no worse now.
Opening his mouth, he shouted intermittently in a hoarse voice, "Yes...... People? Uncle...... Save Uncle ......"
Every time he said a word, his throat was slashed by the gas, but he still cried out, hoping for the almost impossible rescue.
Running, pain, fear, worry about his uncle, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and the boy used his last strength to pass out on the side of the road.
And in front of him, the terrifying castle stood here, the black clouds were like nothing, and a building like the castle of the demon king stood here.
If it weren't for the sign at the door, no one would have believed that this was a large playground.
And it's Lao Wang's playground.
The child's exclamation is seen as part of the performance, and visitors look at him curiously, wondering what kind of performance he will perform next.
The tourists watched for a while, until a ghost confirmed that the child was really unconscious, and the wounds on his body were not makeup, and then they went to the staff to report the problem.
Not long after, the big muscle guy who was cooking came over.
Even in a group of demons and monsters, he is the most conspicuous one.
He was wearing jeans given to him by Lao Wang, his upper body was wearing nothing, and a white apron was covered with blood.
He himself was holding a huge boning knife with a large amount of minced meat and fat stuck to it, making people wonder what he had cut with this knife.
Pushing aside the group of ghosts, he saw the boy on the ground, thought for a moment, then squeezed the little one in his hand, turned and walked towards his kitchen.
