Chapter 42:
There was a sharp whistling outside, followed by the movement of fireworks.
In the battle just now, Chi Banxia consumed the least energy, and still had the energy to **** up her ears and listen.
"Could it be a signal from Zhang Song and the others to let us meet?"
Li Ying's face changed: "What do you think now?"
The voice fell, and Chen Xun's throat made a gurgling sound, as if the bones were being pulled apart piece by piece.
Liu Qingbo stood up with a hula, and pointed the tip of his sword at Chen Xun: "He was scratched by a monster just now, is it contagious!"
Everyone subconsciously retreated from Chen Xun's body, only to see that Chen Xun's face was pale, his eyes were turned up, and his hands were constantly grasping the wounds all over his body.
"Stop catching it! Chen Xun!" Gu Meiren couldn't help saying.
"Xiao Chi, see if he can be saved!" Liu Si said anxiously.
Chi Banxia took out something unknown from her pocket and sprinkled it on Chen Xun, but the latter's symptoms were not relieved. , Hiding aside one after another, the Winter Solstice wanted to go forward to check, but was held tightly by Basang.
Chen Xun quickly stopped moving.
But everyone knew what would happen next. Everyone stared at him in silence. Sure enough, after a while, Chen Xun moved slightly again, slowly got up, and folded his upper body desperately. It is impossible for ordinary people to do this. In the strange posture, he straightened his body and walked towards them slowly.
"Chen Xun!" Liu Si called out.
Chen Xun naturally did not respond.
Everyone knows that he is likely to lose his mind just like Xiang Yongnian and shoot at his companions.
Sure enough, he let out a low roar and rushed towards Liu Qingbo.
This is a wrong decision.
Liu Qinglang waved his sword and penetrated Chen Xun's neck. The latter opened his eyes wide and desperately tried to grab Liu Qingbo, but in the end he lowered his hands in vain.
Solstice clenched his fists.
They lost another companion.
If all this is true, who of them can survive to the end?
He couldn't help thinking of Long Shen.
If it was that man, he would definitely be able to cut a **** path out of thousands of corpses.
Such a strong man never stops for the world.
The world will stop for him.
Liu Qingbo took out his long sword, and his long-suppressed emotions finally erupted: "I don't want to waste any more time, I want to go back to the Special Administration Bureau to see, whether it's training or reality, I have to go back and ask clearly, I don't believe there. Everyone was killed!"
Li Ying frowned and said, "Calm down, I think it's best for us to find a large army first, and then go out of the city."
Liu Qingbo: "Who do you mean by the large army?"
Li Ying: "If everything is true now, the government will definitely organize a retreat. If it's just training, it will be better. First meet Zhang Song and the others, and then find a way to last until the end of the training. We're stuck in this world."
Liu Qingbo disagreed: "Then why don't you go back to the Special Administration Bureau and ask clearly!"
Li Ying shook his head and said, "If this is training, do you think you can find someone when you go back to the Special Administration Bureau? You saw what happened to Xiang Yongnian just now."
Liu Qingbo's chin was slightly raised, and he did not hide his arrogance: "That's because he is too weak!"
Originally, although Liu Qingbo had a background and background, he still maintained a certain courtesy in front of Li Ying. After all, Li Ying's father was a consultant of the Special Administration Bureau, and Li Ying himself was born in Maoshan, and his background was no smaller than that of Liu Qingbo, but at this moment, Liu Qingbo finally refused. Remaining polite on the surface, he insisted on his own opinion and decided to return to the Special Administration Bureau.
Seeing that no one wanted him to go, Liu Qingbo snorted coldly, didn't say goodbye to everyone, and walked out with his sword in hand.
He walked quickly, and in a short while he left the mall and disappeared into the distance.
Li Ying looked at the Winter Solstice: "What do you think?"
Unlike Liu Qingbo, he doesn't take the winter solstice seriously. Li Ying understands that although the Winter Solstice looks harmless, its actual ability is not weak, and its potential may be even better than that of Basang, who looks tyrannical. After hearing that the Wu Bureau intends to recruit the Winter Solstice to a group, Li Ying has been following The winter solstice maintains a good relationship, whether it is tactful or good at handling the world, this is Li Ying's style of behavior.
But this time, the Winter Solstice did not show his approval, but instead asked, "What about these ordinary people?"
Li Yingdao: "The world is so big, not only them. We can protect them for a while, but we can't protect them for a lifetime."
The winter solstice understood it, pondered for a moment, and said: "Well, you go to Zhang Song and the others, I'm here to guard, I just saw a semi-closed counter in the shopping mall, we should retreat there, we should be able to support more. After a while, you can come back anytime after you meet them."
Li Ying knew that he couldn't let these ordinary people go. He felt that the Winter Solstice was too soft-hearted, but he couldn't say any words of condemnation. After all, it was understandable for the other party to do so. Let the ordinary people go.
Doing this by yourself, of course, has a reason, but it is not as kind as the winter solstice.
Then again, a kind companion is better than a ruthless companion who stabs you in the back, or abandons you at a critical moment.
"Okay then!" He nodded and looked around the crowd. "Who wants to go with me?"
Chi Banxia slowly raised her hand: "Brother Li, I'll be with you."
Li Ying smiled: "Okay!"
Chi Banxia's fighting power is limited, but she is obviously closer to Li Ying, so she naturally wants to follow Li Ying.
Basang pondered: "I cooperate well with the Winter Solstice, I'll stay."
Gu Meiren said, "I'll stay too."
Li Ying knew that they had a better friendship with the Winter Solstice, and didn't care, nodded and looked at the remaining Liu Si. "how about you?"
Liu Si thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. When the time comes to find a large army, someone will need to come back and report."
Li Ying stopped dawdling, stood up and said, "Well, before we see any zombies, let's go first."
He said to them at the Winter Solstice: "Take care of you, as soon as we find a helping hand, we will come back to help you immediately!"
Winter Solstice nodded: "You also be careful."
The two groups parted ways, and the ordinary people who huddled aside were at a loss. They could only watch Li Ying and the others leave, and then timidly asked the Winter Solstice, "Are you going too?"
Solstice comforted: "We don't go, we will stay."
The three monsters attacked just now. In addition to Chen Xun, two ordinary people also died. One was a young girl and the other was a middle-aged woman. Li Ying and Ba were killed when they first appeared in corpse mutations. San stopped in time.
The young girl is alone, but that's fine. The middle-aged woman also has a ten-year-old son. She keeps crying for her mother. , was kicking his legs and crying, staring at them with hatred.
Winter Solstice said with a headache: "We didn't kill your mother, she was bitten to death by a zombie. If we don't deal with it, she will soon turn into a biting zombie to bite you. After she is bitten by a zombie, she doesn't know you. now, understand?"
The child responded with a sharper cry, and even wanted to reach out and hit him if he hadn't been hugged by the woman next to him.
The cry attracted two or three wandering zombies into the mall, and the number was still increasing. Basang stepped forward and kicked the zombie in the lead.
On the winter solstice, he picked up the silk scarf that had fallen on the ground from no one, and tore it in half, stuffed one half into the bear child's mouth, and the other half tied his hands.
"Mmmmm!" The bear boy stared at the winter solstice desperately, using his eyes to launch a wave of death light to attack.
The winter solstice looked at the women next to him: "Take care of him, don't let him make a sound, or let him attract zombies, the three of us can run, and you all have to die!"
His face can be said to be kind and amiable. Even if he pretends to be murderous, he is not lethal, but this time I don't know if the zombies are too scary, or the edge of life and death is too scary. His tone is flat, and he has enough deterrent power. Nodding, without the winter solstice's instructions, he took the initiative to hold the boy's legs to prevent him from moving.
Turning around at the winter solstice, three zombies were besieging Basang, and a vulture was assisting the attack on the periphery, but was soon outnumbered and drowned in the group of zombies that followed. Under the influence of Gu Meiren's flute, the speed of the zombies slowed down a little, but it was only a little bit. Seeing that Ba Sang was about to be hugged from the back by a zombie, he held a sword and a talisman in the winter solstice. He kept his feet and flew. He ran up and slashed directly at the neck of the zombie.
But the ability is a bit biased, and I can't be like Liu Qingbo with one sword and one head, but it doesn't matter, if one sword is not good, just cut another sword!
The winter solstice pulled back and slashed, this time with a little more force, the sword edge inserted into the gap just now, cut off the spine of the zombie, and let it fall down completely.
He found that it was very effective for him to climb up and down more than 30 floors to the rooftop to practice every day. At least he practiced breathing kung fu while climbing the stairs, and he also exercised his physical strength. He may not be able to see it at ordinary times, but at the critical moment. The effect of his sprint was revealed. Although he could not be said to be as light as a swallow, the speed of running and bursting between him and the one a month ago was worlds apart.
The talisman was pasted on the zombie's head, and the flames ignited in a flash, and then it turned into a raging fire, drowning the entire head, the zombies roared and fell, stumbling on the same kind, and many zombies followed and fell to the ground, giving it to Basang respite.
Basang focuses on strength, winter solstice focuses on skills, the two cooperate from rusty to tacit understanding, and the efficiency of solving zombies is getting higher and higher.
With a snap, the last zombie twisted its neck and fell to the ground.
Seeing that there are no new zombies pouring in for the time being, the three of them can finally wipe off their sweat and take a good rest.
Gu Meiren turned her head and saw the bear child who was still struggling and staring at them desperately. He put the flute to his mouth and played a small tune.
Bassan gave her a thumbs up.
The winter solstice was also relieved.
Human life is the cheapest in a chaotic world. They have gradually realized this. Those zombies have recently died, and from the clothes on their bodies, they can still identify their identities before birth.
There are white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, students in school uniforms, old men and women who are strong and strong, and even toddlers, all classes and different lives, but now they have only the same identity and are heading towards the same ending.
Winter Solstice sighed softly, looked around at the survivors behind him, and said to Basang: "This place is located in the middle of the shopping mall, it is too dangerous, if there are too many zombies, we can easily lose sight of one and the other, and move to the corner over there first. "
Both Ba Sang and Gu Meiren had no objection. Everyone moved to the southwest corner of the mall together. There was a separate area here, where you could see the movement outside, and there were two more walls, so it was not easy to be surrounded by enemies.
They didn't eat dinner. After all this was done, they were already hungry. Ba Sang and the winter solstice were nothing more than that. Gu Meiren covered her stomach and leaned to the side, forcing herself not to make a sound.
"How are you, beauty?"
Gu Meiren said softly, "It's okay, just let me rest for a while."
The winter solstice said: "Maybe you are too hungry, have any of you brought food on your body?"
Everyone shook their heads. There used to be many restaurants nearby, and most people would look for food nearby after shopping. Who would have thought that this crisis would suddenly break out.
A woman took out half a bottle of water: "I still have some water here, would you like some?"
The winter solstice thanked her, took the water, and handed it to Gu Meiren.
"It's not the way to go on like this. Everyone has to eat something. I remember that there should be a supermarket on the basement level."
Basang said: "I'll go, you stay here to rest!"
The winter solstice held him back: "I'll go, you are very strong, here are all the old and weak, women and children, and I can stand up for a while when things happen. It's more convenient for me to act alone, and I'll be back soon after I get my things."
Meeting the worried eyes of Basang and Gu Meiren, Dongzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have enough equipment!"
He put the backpack on the ground and checked the contents.
The wallet is useless for the time being, but it does not account for weight, so continue to carry it first, after all, there are documents in it.
Since the incident of the Tianyuan Building in Yangcheng, he has had the habit of carrying cinnabar talismans with him. He usually writes a few in the dormitory when he has nothing to do, and counts them roughly. He used 30 of them just now, and there are still two left. Ten or so, a bit small, but this trip to the supermarket should be enough, and I'll write when it's a big deal.
He took out the talisman paper, put a stack in one pocket, left the backpack here, put the Qingzhu sword on his back, and set off.
His eyes were burning behind him, and he could feel it without looking back, as if he was looking at him for the last time. He couldn't help but look back at the winter solstice: "Don't stare at me like this, it makes it seem like I can't come back!"
Gu Meiren couldn't help but said, "Be careful, go back quickly!"
Winter Solstice gave her an OK gesture, turned around and walked towards the elevator entrance following the signs.
The journey was very calm. There should be no zombies on this floor. Not long after the crisis occurred, the escalator was still running.
The winter solstice did not rush down, but first stood at the elevator entrance, then turned on the mobile phone, casually ordered a song, and pressed play.
The mobile phone has no signal since the crisis broke out, but the songs downloaded in it can still be used, and the loud singing is transmitted to the underground through the escalator. Breath, staggering toward the winter solstice.
The escalator has two directions, one is upward and the other is downward. Zombies themselves have no wisdom. Some of them are piled up in the downward-facing elevator. Step by step, they can't go up. It was piled up directly at the elevator entrance, and there was no way to go up.
The winter solstice couldn't help but watch the fun.
The zombies on the other side came up slowly along the elevator. When approaching the elevator entrance, he directly kicked the zombies down, and all the zombies behind them fell down like dominoes. The winter solstice went down from the elevator with a sword, and before the zombies could struggle to stand up, a sword pierced their necks.
The Green Master Sword is extremely sharp. As long as the strength is used properly, a single sword can pierce their necks, and as the number of times increases, the proficiency also increases. Before, it had to be cut two or three times, but now it is basically They can kill them with a single sword, severing their spines.
After solving the group here, he estimated that the zombies on the basement floor should basically be solved. He turned off the song and continued to walk in with his sword.
The supermarket was messy, and there were scattered things everywhere, but because people were in a hurry, there were still a lot of things left on the shelves, and there was no scene of being looted. He found a trolley and began to put food and drinking water. Put it in the car.
The goal of the winter solstice is very clear. The food should be easy to carry, mainly instant noodles in bags and various biscuits and chocolates. The trolleys were piled up, and it was difficult to push them. He had to selectively discard some too heavy drinks.
Drop drop, drop drop.
The winter solstice suddenly turns back!
The sound came from the back, separated by several shelves.
He didn't plan to go back to see it, but just stood there and waited for a while, and when the sound stopped, he quickly pushed the car and walked out.
Drop drop, drop drop, drop drop.
The sound was terrifying in an empty store, especially since he knew there would be few people alive.
In the winter solstice, grabbing a trolley in one hand and speeding up the pace, and a sword in the other, observe the surrounding terrain.
The wheel of the trolley was rolling on the ground a little loudly. For fear of missing the sound behind him, he had to slow down again and slowly push it up.
Drop drop, drop drop, drop drop.
The voice was haunted, and it was getting closer and closer.
The winter solstice suddenly stopped, and the sword edge waved behind him!
The black shadow flashed across the line of sight, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to see the other party's appearance.
But the winter solstice knew that it was one of the monsters that attacked them on the ground just now!
There are supermarkets too!
With a click, the monster jumped into the rows of shelves and disappeared instantly, and the alarm clock on the ground was smashed in half.
... The alarm clock is held by the monster, and it wants to tempt itself to go there?
These monsters are intelligent!
This cognition made him horrified, and the hairs all over his body stood upright!
No matter how ferocious the zombies are, at least their speed is not high, and they can be defeated with human wisdom.
But these monsters actually use "trap" and "bait" to lure humans into the bait, plus their own speed and power...
He dared not think about it any longer.
This monster must still be hiding somewhere in the supermarket, secretly looking for an opportunity, waiting to give him a fatal blow.
Winter Solstice quietly took out a talisman from his pocket.
In this basement, can you attract Leifa? If not, then the price to pay is life.
He didn't dare to gamble, and he still held the Mingguang Talisman in his hand.
This talisman is the basic talisman for getting started with the Hezao School, but Master Fang told him that even the most basic things can play a huge role if they are used well.
The heartbeat is getting faster and faster, the palms are sweating, the winter solstice gritted his teeth and pushed the trolley forward!
Dangdangdang, the cart automatically ran forward, and after another two or three shelves, the speed gradually slowed down.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the shelf in front of the winter solstice.
The opponent's target is not the cart, but him!
Spotted by monsters!
It was too late, but it was fast. The rune was thrown from the hand of the Winter Solstice, and the fire of the rune swept towards the monster's face.
He stepped back in a hurry, and swung the sword in his hand, just slashing on the monster's arm!
With a snort, the monster's elbow was cut off, and it roared, jumped to the ceiling, and disappeared.
Winter Solstice doesn't think that this injury is enough to make it lose its combat effectiveness. Since this monster is wise, it will definitely hold revenge.
He pushed the trolley and ran quickly to the elevator, pressing the button to go upstairs in one breath.
The elevator door opened quickly, and he pushed the trolley in first.
The light wind came from behind, and the winter solstice, who had been on guard for a long time, did not turn his head, and stabbed his sword directly behind him.
Lost!
The monster roared in a low voice, opened its **** mouth, and the stench came out. In the next second, the Mingguang Talisman was attached to its forehead.
"The Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty is above, the mighty Sword God King, turn the talisman into fire, decree!"
With a bang, the monster's head burned, and the winter solstice quickly retreated into the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, and the monster rushed up from behind!
The upper body of the monster had already rushed into the elevator, and the elevator door was obstructed and slammed open to both sides.
"Roar!"
The yellowed fangs dripped with saliva, the claws of the monster stretched, and they were about to touch the forehead of the winter solstice!
Close at hand!
The distance between the claws and the skin is at most half a meter!
The prey is right in front of him, and seeing that the opportunity is about to be missed in vain, it pounces on the prey by the elevator, and its fangs are wide open.
A sword reached out and plunged into its throat.
The back of the winter solstice was against the wall of the elevator, holding the hilt of the sword tightly, and handing it forward with force.
The blade of the sword penetrated the monster's head, pierced through the other end, and was pulled out again.
The monster fell to the ground!
The sudden weight made the elevator shake.
Winter Solstice took a breath, raised the sword and cut off the monster's head, and moved its heavy body out of the elevator with his feet.
He crouched down and looked at the monster's head.
The facial features can still be vaguely seen, which may be human mutations. It really looks like the licker in the movie, but the difference is that this monster is dark all over, the flesh of the head is stretched by the bones below, and the original eyeballs are missing. , replaced by two black flesh holes, but the nose is bulging high. It should be that after the vision has degenerated, the sense of smell has replaced the vision, so it can find itself accurately every time.
After getting out of the elevator, Winter Solstice picked up a coat, wiped off the Green Master Sword, then pushed the cart and walked towards where Bassen and the others were.
In the past, when he first got the Green Master Sword, he wiped it every day after practice, and every now and then when he took it out for admiration, he made sure to keep the blade shiny and sharp, but now, this sword has begun to be used by him as a real weapon. , He also misses and appreciates the original owner of Qingzhujian more and more.
Without the sword that Long Shen gave him, it is still unknown whether he can survive until now.
Basang and the others had long been waiting to get angry. If there were only old and weak women and children left here, Basang would have wanted to go down to find the winter solstice. Everyone was very happy when they saw him returning safely with food. Basang hurried forward. Help the winter solstice push the cart.
"Thank you for your hard work!" He patted the winter solstice on the shoulder.
The winter solstice shook his head, took the mineral water handed by Gu Meiren, and drank most of the bottle in one sip, only to feel that the lost water in the body was replenished little by little.
"I was down there just now and met another monster."
Ba Sang and Gu Meiren's expressions changed greatly.
"Then are you alright!" Gu Meiren looked up and down.
Winter Solstice shook his head: "How are you doing here, any news from Li Ying?"
Gu Meiren sighed, "No."
Winter Solstice said: "This building is not safe. I suspect that there are still many monsters lurking in the dark. The electricity in the shopping mall may not last long. Did you find that the air-conditioning is not as sufficient as when we first came in..."
As soon as the voice fell, as if in response to his words, the overhead lights went out suddenly, and the entire mall was plunged into darkness.
The group of ordinary people screamed.
winter solstice:……
Gu Meiren and Basang: …
Gu Meiren didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't stand the flag anymore!"
Winter Solstice covered his mouth: "I shut up!"
Basang worried: "Is there no emergency lights in shopping malls?"
"Yes!" said the teller in the group. "There is a unified emergency power supply on the first floor. It is in the power room on this floor. I know where it is!"
With this kind of weather, coupled with this kind of mood, you can imagine how sultry it will be to spend a night in the mall.
More importantly, if there are monsters hidden in the dark, it is impossible to prevent them in the dark.
