Chapter 468: Ruins 15
The firelight rushed into the abandoned underground building of the bank before them, and Luo Qi pushed Liu Ziyu into the basement, holding on to the heavy blast door and pulling it desperately into the room. The thick iron door, which had not been used for many years, finally began to move under his strength, but it was too slow, and through the huge crack in the door, Roach saw countless ghostly figures.
"Roach!" Liu Ziyu screamed, "Quick! ”
"I did my best." Roach shouted in exasperation that the process of closing the door was too slow.
Liu Ziyu looked around nervously, looking for it was like her second instinct. "That's not right, humans don't have as much strength as you, and the door shouldn't be so heavy."
"It's all been a lot old, and it's been rusted for a long time."
"Then I'm going to be killed by you." Suddenly, Ms. Liu said, she noticed a vertical handle on the door. "What is this?"
"Fertility cult?" Rock said anxiously.
"Shut up, you're so annoying." Liu Ziyu held the handle, "You know that humans never use brute force, this must be a hinged handle, they must use a winch to open and close the door, I have seen similar before." ”
Luo Qi didn't know what Liu Ziyu was talking about in his anxiety, but from the moment Liu Ziyu started to rotate the handle, the degree of closing the door was accelerating, and Luo Qi glanced at Liu Ziyu in surprise. "Hurry up and grind!"
Liu Ziyu scolded Luo Qi unmistakably, "In exchange for you." ”
"Go on." Roach said, he let go of the iron door completely, and moved a step away, staring closely at the puppet that was only a few steps away from the door.
"Oh my God, you don't hurry up and control them." Liu Ziyu shouted, desperately rotating the winch, and the iron door was withdrawn little by little.
Roach didn't speak, everything had a price, and his loss of control just now made it difficult for him to concentrate, and concentration began to drag him into a trance. He had to maintain absolute sanity, otherwise the first person he would attack would be Liu Ziyu.
"Roach!"
"It's almost time before the door closes." Roach said, sweat running down his head. The door was still a little close, and the nearest golem was a little closer, and the golem had stretched his arm as long as it could. As long as the door can be closed, it is not difficult to fight with only one puppet coming in, then it can save energy and give him time to recover on his own.
"Roach!" Liu Ziyu called out, the blast door was about to close, and a puppet's arm was inserted at this moment, stuck on the door with a terrible blunt sound, and Liu Ziyu let out a nausea scream. At the same time, the zombie began to reach into the crack of the door with a force that neither humans nor mages possessed, and squeezed the door open with its shoulder. More of his companions will be there soon, and they will open the door again.
"Get out of the way." Luo Qi shouted, knocked Liu Ziyu away with one shoulder, gave a hard blow to the handle of the winch, and then suddenly gave a cold magic on the door.
The golem froze, and the arm that reached into the door instantly froze, freezing a disgusting blue-purple color. Roach did something he never thought he could do, jumping up and kicking hard at the frozen piece of human tissue. The puppet's arm snapped into the room along the crack in the door, and the door closed heavily with the last bit of inertia, and he immediately locked the door. "Liu Ziyu, you have a mage's way to lock the door, don't you?"
Liu Ziyu nodded stiffly, bypassing the severed limb, she began to chant growth magic, and the elements that were consistent with the composition of the iron door began to overflow, and the blast door and the door frame were integrated, and they were constantly reinforced and superimposed into the wall. When she had done all this, her sweat was dripping from her head. The golem outside the door kept banging on the door, and they waited for a while, the door was thicker and safer than they thought.
After a few moments, she came back to her senses and suddenly stared blankly at the arm on the ground, and Roach suddenly flew up and kicked the arm into the corner.
Liu Ziyu hugged his arm tightly, took a few deep breaths, and barely showed a smile. "What an impressive solution. Battlemages will usually condense a weapon for themselves and then chop off their arms. ”
"I don't know that kind of magic." "I can only do basic magic, and I can't even control the temperature accurately. ”
"It looks like it's cold enough." Liu Ziyu said dryly, she endured it for a while, and couldn't help her curiosity, "But I never knew that after the temperature was low enough, the human body would be so brittle." How can you be so clear? ”
"Do you think I often secretly freeze people up and break them to pieces?" Rocky asked.
"You know I didn't mean that!"
Luo Qi looked at her for a moment before saying, "I read in the library that in the past, some tribes in Mongolia used to have a broken leg in their criminal law. They would tie up the criminals and put them in a warm tent, stretching only one leg out into the ice and snow outside the tent. After a few hours, the leg outside the tent will freeze, and at this time, it only needs to be knocked hard to break off. ”
Liu Ziyu grew his mouth in shock, and said for a while, "It's really impressive barbarism." ”
"yes, so remember." "But that was done many years ago during the savagery of man," said Roach, "and if you look on the benevolent side, frostbite stubble is not susceptible to infection. The same is the case with a severed limb, which has a higher survival rate than cutting it off with a knife. ”
"Okay." Liu Ziyu said uncomfortably, thought about it and said, "Library? ”
"The city library can be reached directly by subway." Roach said.
"You're really ready to live in human society, aren't you?" Liu Ziyu said casually, wanting to say something else about distractions to ease the tension caused by the zombies constantly pounced on the door.
"Yes, I can live well." Roach whispered, and he turned and walked inside, "Let's see what's in here, shall we?" ”
Liu Ziyu followed in his footsteps, and they walked together towards the depths of the basement. It was much bigger than they thought, and it was more like a giant factory than a place to store banknotes.
It was very cold underground, and their clothes had already been soaked through the rain outside, and now they were cold on their bodies, and both of them were a little shivering. Liu Ziyu made a handful of energy beans as he walked and gave half of them to Luo Qi.
"I want to go home. Eat something, real, hot meal. She shuddered.
"We'll all have to wait." Rocky said in a low voice.
Liu Ziyu smiled and said jokingly, "What are you waiting for?" Food? ”
Roach shook his head.
"Game consoles?"
Rocky shook his head again.
"You seem to be very patient." Liu Ziyu paused, put a bean in his mouth, and shot a strong gust of wind at a target on the roof, clearing out an exhaust-like structure. "You seem to have been waiting for a long time, longer than you have been here, and you have a habit of waiting."
"yes, I've been waiting for a long time." Roach's hand reached into his pocket again, fiddling with the pine needles, poking shallow holes in his fingers. "I want to go home too."
She thought for a moment, relative to her agility, before asking, "Your parents' home?" ”
For a moment Roach looked like he didn't want to answer her, and his lips parted a few times. There was silence all around, only the whining of the wind coming in through the ventilation ducts, their breathing sounding loud, but his voice was almost fainter than the sound of breathing, "A place that embraces me more and respects me." ”
"You've found that place, haven't you?"
"Yes." Roach glanced at her.
Liu Ziyu looked at him thoughtfully.
"I'll serve Qionglin wholeheartedly, I think." Roach said, raising his voice.
She blinked, "So you mean, Jonlin is the place that tolerates and respects you more than your family of origin?" ”
"Yes." "Just like you did, find a home there." Like you and Du Zhengyi. ”
She shrugged her shoulders and grimaced, "yes, we don't have anything else to do but do these things anyway. ”
Roach's hand clenched the pine branch in his pocket, and the pine stitched his skin, and blood beaded from his fingertips.
