Chapter 73: The Predator Appears

The hotel's geothermal system is overwhelmed at night, the temperature in the lobby drops to about seven or eight degrees, and even the exhaled breath is white when you speak.

The bone-chilling chill spread from the toes to the fingers, freezing and drowsy.

Xiao Yu and Zhang Xiaojuan gave the quilt to Sun Tiantian and Han Rui, and the two big men curled up in a ball.

Put your hands in the cuffs, bend your neck and back to back to keep warm.

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head and squeezed into Lu Sheng's arms, and put his hot belly on her, and the whole cat turned into a warm quilt like a big character.

Lu Sheng herself has unlocked the low-temperature resistance attribute, and the weather of seven or eight degrees has no effect on her.

When Zhuang Zhuang made a purring and exhaling sound in her arms, he got up lightly and covered Zhuang Zhuang with the quilt.

"Let's change shifts, you rest for a while, I'll keep vigil." Lu Sheng quietly walked to Xu Yi's side.

Xu Yi waved his hand and threw Lu Sheng a fever bag.

"Then I'll go upstairs and have a look."

Lu Sheng knew that he couldn't say Xu Yi, so he turned around and went upstairs silently.

The second floor was empty as Zhang Xiaojuan said, Lu Sheng checked around, and only found two scratches on the wall at the top of the stairs.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she quietly walked up two floors.

crossed the third floor where Li Dongran was and went directly to the fourth floor.

Unlike ordinary hotels, the back kitchen and warehouse cold storage of the Cloud Hotel are all in the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.

Lu Sheng first found the cold storage, which still contained a lot of semi-finished food as Li Dongran said.

Two large freezers, one containing frozen vegetables such as carrots, corn kernels, and green beans, and the other containing semi-finished cooking kits and meat.

The freezer for vegetables was full and seemed to have not been touched, and the other freezer for meat was more than half empty.

The normal diet has to be a combination of meat and vegetables, Li Dongran only eats meat and does not eat vegetables?

Next to the cold storage is a warehouse for alcohol, full of mineral water and beer, and the boxes are stacked all the way to the ceiling.

The whole warehouse was piled up to the door, and there was no place to put your feet.

Lu Sheng touched the box near the door, and his hands were immediately covered with a thick layer of dust.

She frowned slightly, turned and walked briskly to the central kitchen on the other side.

There is still a little smell of oil smoke in the kitchen, and the stove still has residual warmth to the touch, it should be that Li Dongran has just left.

There was a large porcelain bowl on the table.

Lu Sheng picked it up and took a look, and in the bowl was a cooking bag, which was still warm.

The semi-finished packaging of the Cloud Hotel was printed with a particularly large font, and she saw a few big characters on the packaging bag with diced mushrooms and chicken written on the packaging bag by moonlight.

She snapped her fingers, carefully observing the cooking bag in her hand through the light of the small flame.

This cooking bag is a bit strange, the bag seal is not torn, and only half a bag of cloudy and thick soup and diced shiitake mushrooms are left. Lu Sheng pinched his hand, only to find that something had pierced a small hole in the bag, and the juice had splashed out of the hole.

There was also a box of frozen lobsters in the trash can, and there was only a hole in the packaging, and there was only some melted ice water and a whole lobster shell left in the bag, and the meat was empty.

I unscrewed the faucet, but there was not a drop of water, and the pipe was already dry and about to crack.

A subtle feeling welled up in Lu Sheng's heart.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly there was a dull sound on the first floor, as if a behemoth was pounding on the hotel door.

Lu Sheng jumped directly from the stairs to the next floor with a light posture, and fell to the hall on the first floor in three or two clicks.

The loud noise had already woken up several people on the first floor, and Zhuang Zhuang rushed to Lu Sheng as soon as possible, "There is a zombie with an index of 20+ outside." ”

Lu Sheng stepped to the window in a few steps and looked at the street scene outside the window by the moonlight.

The bald zombie, which had been about two meters tall, pressed another zombie against the gate of the Cloud Hotel.

The zombie that was held down had evolved at least twice, and the bones and muscles of the whole body were thick and powerful.

But in the hands of the bald zombie, it is like a broken doll, and it is unilaterally crushed and has no power to fight back.

The bald zombie let out a hoarse roar, then bit off the zombie's arm and let out a creepy chewing sound.

Crunch.

The strange sound made the ears of everyone in the hall tingle.

The bald zombie chewed quickly, gnawing only on its arms and neck before throwing the remaining corpses aside.

It just happened to hang on the plaque of the Cloud Hotel.

"I hate this kind of picky eater the most, I gnaw all the wings, and who eats the rest of the broken things."

Zhang Xiaojuan clasped her hands around her chest, looked at the bald zombie that gradually disappeared from view, and complained.

"There are already predators in Hongcheng County......"

Lu Sheng's mind sank.

Predators are the first generation of mutant zombies after the apocalypse, and they will normally appear in areas with the highest concentration of zombies after a few months of the zombie virus is raging.

But now the zombie virus has just been infected, and predators have appeared so soon.

"What is a predator?" Sun Tiantian tilted her head suspiciously.

Lu Sheng walked quickly to the door and carefully checked the door lock, "Predators use other zombies as food, and after each zombie is digested, the predator's size and strength will increase a little. ”

"After eating a certain amount, the predator will evolve into a third-order zombie, which is very difficult to deal with."

"No wonder it's not interested in us, it's not to our taste."

Han Rui stuck out her tongue with palpitations.

"Don't be so optimistic." Lu Sheng opened the bottle and filled a large bottle of water, "After this thing reaches the third order, it will turn on the berserk mode, and the dogs on the street will have to be slapped twice, let alone people." ”

"Then let's set off early tomorrow and try to leave Hongcheng County as soon as possible before the predators have not evolved to the third order." Xiao Yu was completely sleepy, so he packed up a few people's backpacks first.

Xu Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng, "Found?" ”

"That Li Dongran, there is a problem."

Lu Sheng subconsciously held the Tang knife in his hand, "I just took a look in the warehouse on the fourth floor, the warehouse with wine is full, all the boxes are piled up and crowded to the door, he has never taken water from the warehouse at all, and the faucet has long been out of water." ”

"A normal person dies without drinking water for 7 days, and he hasn't touched the water in it for a month."

"And I just found a bag of cooking bags in the kitchen, and before I opened the bag, I pricked my eyes, and the meat in it was gone."

"All the vegetables in the cold storage have not been touched, only the meat is missing, and there is a small hole in the frozen lobster box, and the meat in the shell is empty."

Zhang Xiaojuan rubbed her chin, "Is it possible that the cooking bag was a problem when it left the factory, and an empty bag was sent?" ”

"A normal person must have lost it when he found an empty bag, how could he heat it up?" Lu Sheng frowned slightly, "I touched it, the cooking bag is hot, and the chopsticks in the kitchen are dusty, and no one has used it for a long time." ”

"Then we ......"

Han Rui was halfway through her words when a slow footstep suddenly came from the staircase.

"You know what's going on outside?"

Li Dongran stood at the position of the staircase platform and asked expressionlessly.

The diamond-shaped moonlight through the window divided his handsome face into two parts, one light and one dark, which looked particularly permeable in the quiet night.

"Ahem, are you hungry? I just heard someone go to the kitchen on the fourth floor. ”

Li Dongran coughed a few more times, and his quite friendly smile looked very weird at the moment.

"It's so noisy outside, I'm scared, don't you mind if I sit here and stay with you?"

Saying that, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Han Rui, "Didn't you want to sign just now, I just found a notebook and signed it for you, you can get it." ”

A cold light flashed.

The Tang horizontal knife in Lu Sheng's hand slashed neatly at Li Dongran's outstretched arm.
