Chapter 8by
Everyone shuddered when the video found on the communicator was played during the rainy season.
The man in the video also showed the symptoms of the homeless and the administrator—the eyeballs were gray and cloudy, the skin was pale and covered with blue blood vessels, and he screamed that he wanted to bite his wife.
"The video was shot a month ago."
Different from the panic that everyone showed, the tone of Ji Yu was very light.
He acted brave and mature, like the man who couldn't even unscrew the bottle cap just now wasn't him.
"It's a zombie!!"
"If it's really a zombie, how many of them must be out there!"
"Damn it, no wonder it's so weird here!"
"This is a video from a month ago!"
The familiar words rang out in the office.
During the discussion among the teammates, Ji Yu Shi only took another sip of water silently, and the terrible feeling of powerlessness gradually disappeared. He said slowly: "The communicator has no network, but I just received a new message, which should be sent to us."
"The message is on the deceased's communicator, but the message was sent to us?"
"Yes."
"Open."
Song Qinglan said.
Project the information during the rainy season.
[Welcome, guardian from Xingyuan 1456, welcome to PU-31. ]
[This transition has been locked and will be unlocked after the mission is successful. ]
[Mission Mode: Ouroboros. ]
[Task rules: death elimination. ]
At this time, Tang Le shouted: "Look!!"
Outside the window, a black wall suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, spreading all the way from the direction they came from.
"Di-", the communicator displayed the last line of prompts.
[Quest objective: Dark Chaser. ]
The crowd was terrified.
While talking about it, Song Qinglan found a broom and stabbed it into the black wall. When she took it out, the part of the broom that was inserted into the black wall was gone. ate.
"What did the mission rules say just now?"
"Death, death is eliminated." Someone answered.
"It's good to know." Song Qinglan said solemnly, "Take good care of your equipment, it's best not to kill me. Anyway, I can't go back. No matter what this PU-31 is, we will know it."
"What happened to consultant Ji?"
When Duan Wen looked back at Ji Yu, the other party was already walking in the middle of the team, tall and straight, with a straight back, and he seemed very silent.
In the private channel, Song Qinglan was a little careless: "Ask yourself?"
Duan Wen snorted and said, "Forget it, what if he asks me to unscrew the bottle cap?"
Song Qinglan's tone changed subtly: "So?"
The tiger plucked the hair, Duan Wen dared not make the captain's joke again: "Then, I will still help to screw it. Helping the teammates is our responsibility."
Song Qinglan commented: "Stop talking trash."
Duan Wen said: "Actually, I just hope that when I go back to write the report, I can be a little more friendly, and don't lower the rating because of team discord..."
Duan Wen was still chattering, but Song Qinglan suddenly stopped and made a fist gesture.
"and many more."
His voice sounded on the public channel.
Everyone looked forward.
A group of people appeared on the desolate and desolate city road.
At the end of summer, at 6:00 in the morning, the sun shines through this reinforced concrete forest and casts a golden light on the burnt black asphalt road.
The dazzling light is like a dividing line, dividing the world from hell.
It was a bunch of zombies.
They didn't find the team quietly walking in the secluded place, intently surrounding a bloody corpse, with an excited "ho-ho" sound in their throats, scrambling to eat like beasts.
The flesh, limbs, and internal organs were all torn apart, and the terrifying sound of chewing was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the team from a distance of no more than seven or eight meters.
"what!!!!"
screaming.
At the rear of the team, a woman rushed out of the building and ran wildly, followed by twenty or thirty zombies, who were about to catch up with her.
This scream disturbed the eater ahead.
The team is like a sandwich biscuit, watching the eaters in front of them throw down the corpses and rush towards them!
"Grass!"
I don't know who cursed out, someone shouted: "Save people!"
"Bang bang bang" several shots were fired, and three or four zombies behind the woman fell to the ground. At the same time, another teammate also opened fire, killing the rushing eater.
The sound of gunfire reverberated in the silent and empty city, like a drop of water splashing into a hot oil pan, "Crash—" It boiled again in an instant, and countless zombies poured out from the shadows!
"Let's go!!"
"quick!"
The gunshots were deafening.
"Team Song?!" Duan Wen shouted, "Let's go!"
Song Qinglan stood where she was, as if she was waiting for something, her body exuded a terrifying aura.
When the woman was still a few steps away from rushing in front of him, a cold light flashed, and the woman suddenly fell to her knees and fell on the road.
With the cover of her teammates, Song Qinglan strode over and drew his saber from the woman's forehead.
Blood splattered on the woman's round eyes. In just a few seconds, the gray-white eyeballs were the same as those of the zombies chasing her. Her ear was missing a piece, and she could see obvious tooth marks.
Song Qinglan inserted the saber back, and Ji Yushi, who was behind him, was turning around and killing a zombie who was pounced on his back with one shot.
He also thought that people who shoot in real combat for the first time would be hesitant.
The crowd is surging, like the end of the day.
Ji Yushi looked back at the woman on the ground, then looked at Song Qinglan in surprise.
This glance finally confirmed some reason for him to hesitate. Ji Yushi's delicate eyes burst out with heat, as if there was finally a firework on his body, and he shouted angrily: "Front left! Convenience store! Hurry up!"
There are more and more zombies, and there is still a steady stream of zombies.
They were not too far from the convenience store, and could clearly see the complete iron fence of the convenience store.
Finding the bunker in time bought them a lot of time.
With everyone working together, they quickly rushed to the door of the convenience store amid the hail of bullets.
During the monsoon season, without even looking at it, a shot hit the store identification panel with a bang. Amidst the piercing alarm sound, Li Chun and Zhou Mingxuan pulled open the iron fence together!
Just as a person rolled by, when the monsoon rains, it slides in quickly like a slippery fish.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Immediately, there were several gunshots in the store.
The gunfire died down.
In the monsoon season, he reappeared behind the iron fence, blood wet his fair face, and even his eyelashes were stained with blood.
He panted slightly, his voice unsteady: "Come in!!"
Everyone: "???"
When they entered the convenience store one after another and faced fresh corpses all over the place, everyone said, "..."
Is this really a consultant Ji who can't unscrew the bottle cap? !
The convenience store is a mess, with empty shelves, but otherwise it's safe - even if it's dangerous, it's single-handedly killed in the blink of an eye during the monsoons.
That speed and courage, it is as if the situation was predicted in advance.
To be honest, even the best guardian can have this level at most.
Everyone had a feeling that it was time to pay the IQ tax.
"Where's Team Song?!" Zhou Mingxuan asked suddenly.
Li Chun, Duan Wen, and Ji Yushi were also present, but there were no twins and Song Qinglan.
Ji Yushi frowned: "Open the door and wait for them!"
As soon as the voice fell, there were dense gunshots outside the store.
Song Qinglan pushed Tang Le into the store under the cover of everyone in the store.
Tang Le's expression was sluggish, while Song Qinglan's complexion was ashen, the iron fence was pulled down with a bang, and someone shouted, "Wait for Tang Qi!"
"There's no need to wait." Song Qinglan stood up, covered in blood. "Tang Qi was bitten. After he was infected, the mutation time... no more than ten seconds."
Tang Le cried bitterly.
No one knew what happened to them outside, and everyone was shocked when they heard this answer.
Nearby, countless zombies were frantically slapping the iron fence, with their bloody mouths open, their gray pupils staring at the living people in the store, as if they would come in and tear them apart in the next second.
Ten seconds.
The virus is spreading so fast.
Coupled with the 100% mutation rate after being bitten, no city in the world is capable of defending against such a virus.
"You can't sit still, this fence won't last long." Song Qinglan's voice was cold, "There is a false wall made of light bricks in the warehouse in the store. Blow it open and get out from there."
When the monsoon rains, it suddenly looks up.
The eyes of the two happened to meet.
Now is not the time to chat, those eyes are very bright on the blood-soaked face during the monsoon rain.
Song Qinglan was calm, but her question contained deep meaning: "Consultant Ji, what's behind the wall?"
When Ji Yu clenched his fists, his fingernails hurt his palms.
In front of his teammates who didn't know anything, he calmly said, "It's a back alley."
Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't even understand what kind of riddles the two were playing, but as long as there was a way to survive, they didn't have time to take care of other things in such a situation.
The iron fence was under enormous pressure, swaying and making terrible noises, and they had to race against time to escape from here.
The wall was blasted away by the concentrated fire, and the light came in.
After the last teammate jumped out of the window, "Boom", the iron fence that was struggling to support finally fell to the ground!
Zhou Mingxuan shot the zombies in the back alley to cover: "Get in the car!!"
Song Qinglan shoved the nearly collapsed Tang Le into the back seat.
Those zombies rushed into the convenience store and jumped down the warehouse window where they escaped.
Zhou Mingxuan also got into the car, and six big men were crammed into the not-so-spacious car, squeezing close to each other.
I just heard Duan Wen shout, "Where's the identification card!! Find it!"
Song Qinglan and Ji Yushi were separated by Tang Le.
But it was close enough to clearly see the fine fluff on the white back of the neck during the monsoon rains under the sunlight coming in from the car window.
During the rainy season, he squeezed over to open the storage box and handed over the identification card: "Here!"
Li Chun in the driver's seat took the identification card, and hurriedly started the car and rushed out.
The car made a roaring sound, and white smoke rose when the tires rubbed against the ground, dragging the zombies in front of them with dark red bloodstains.
They rushed out of the back alley.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he drove to a certain intersection, when Ji Yushi suddenly changed his face and shouted, "Turn left!!"
Not far away, a giant space car came galloping!
He shouted in time during the monsoon, this roar made Li Chun conditioned reflex to slam the steering wheel, and the car rushed straight into a building!
"Bang bang bang——!!"
The car's brakes were buffered, and it hit several glass doors in a row before it stopped.
The windshield shattered into cobwebs, the front of the car was smoking, and everyone was hit hard by inertia.
After a moment of silence, Song Qinglan kicked the back of the cab's seat: "Chun'er, it looks like you haven't got your driver's license yet."
Li Chun was weak: "It's not me talking back, boss, really don't care about these details now."
Everyone: "..."
Chapter 9by
The light in the building is very dark, only the entrance is bright.
From where their car crashed into the building, they could barely see four large characters written on the wall in the center of the lobby: Runjin Building. On the left side, the floor distribution was engraved on a metal panel. Commercial and residential buildings.
The smooth marble floor in the lobby was stained with blood, there were some bloody handprints on the walls, the glass smashed by the car and the overturned rubbish in the trash can spilled all over the floor, but there was nothing else.
"How are you all?" Song Qinglan asked in the car, "Is anyone injured?"
The front of the car was seriously deformed, and even the already crowded rear seat was even more immobile.
Song Qinglan's sound was very close, and it entered Ji Yushi's ears, just like the first time he heard it on the public channel.
"I'm fine." Ji Yushi replied.
Except for the monsoon rain, no one in this car knows what happened before, and no one has any memory of the last death.
The countdown to the death of the moment the space car hit just now, adrenaline soared rapidly, so the heartbeat was so fast during the monsoon rain that couldn't even feel the pain in head that hit the back of the front seat when braking.
"I'm fine too."
"fine."
...
Duan Wen's voice in the passenger seat was painful: "I, it seems that my leg is stuck."
Li Chun snorted: "Come and help! Brother Wen is stuck!"
"Ho ho..."
The voice came faintly.
The building was empty, and the dark corridors were very deep, making it difficult to tell which direction the sound was coming from, but it was definitely not far from them.
The movement of the car crashing into the building just now was so loud that it must have disturbed the nearby zombies. The building looks quiet, but there may be many zombies hidden there.
Duan Wen's left leg was stuck under the center console of the passenger seat. Once his teammates tried to move the deformed part, he was in unbearable pain.
"You go first, don't worry about me!"
The voice of the zombies was getting closer and closer, Duan Wen was panting heavily, his head covered in cold sweat: "Come on!"
"How could we have left you!"
"Brother Wen, hold on!"
Song Qinglan inserted Shenmian into the gap formed by the center console, signaling Li Chun to protect Duan Wen's knee.
In this case, he still remained calm and decisive, and only said quickly: "Stop talking nonsense, hold back, even if your leg is broken, we have to go together!"
Duan Wen never resists the captain's orders due to the absolute trust he has formed since many missions in the past, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "...Okay."
"Quick!" Zhou Mingxuan urged, raising his gun and looking around.
The footsteps in the corridor echoed louder and louder, more and more urgent, and even the roar of "hoho" was close at hand.
"Bang bang bang!"
I don't know who shot, and several zombies splattered with blood and fell to the ground in horror.
But this corridor seems to lead to hell, and soon more "ho ho" sounds and footsteps sounded, and zombies that were several times more crazy than the previous zombies appeared!
"Hurry up!!" Li Chun was jealous and shouted, "Team Song!"
Song Qinglan used the pitch-black Shenmian as a lever.
Because of the force, blue veins appeared on Song Qinglan's forehead, and the muscles on her arms accumulated into blocks. The explosive force caused the center console to be moved, making a sour sound.
"what"
With an uncontrollable scream, Duan Wen's leg was finally rescued, the blood was dripping, and the wound was deep enough to see the bone!
Li Chun's hands were shaking: "Brother Wen!"
Duan Wenji was about to faint and his face turned pale, Li Chun carried him on his body, and Song Qinglan shouted, "Go!"
Five people and one wounded were fighting and retreating in this building with limited entrances and exits. When they came, the entrance was broken by smashed glass, and the corridor with the exit on the left was blocked. Zombies are pouring in continuously, and the team is like headless prey, thrown into the trap, it can be said that it has just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!
In the sound of gunfire, waves of zombies were killed, and the building was like a maze with nowhere to escape.
With a "bang", someone knocked open the fire door.
Tang Le, who had been silent all the time, shouted, "This way!"
Everyone retreated into the corridor, the emergency lights in the corridor were on, and there was no one inside.
But soon, there was a lot of commotion below the corridor, everyone's expressions changed, and a group of zombies rushed up from downstairs!
"Ho-"
"Ho-"
At this time, the zombies following them poured into the fire door. Under the orange emergency lights, these pale-faced humans were illuminated as if they had been soaked in blood, evil and primitive. They joined the group downstairs and densely blocked the corridor Water leaks!
The gunshots were intense, and the flesh, brains, and stumps stained the white walls.
The group retreated to the second floor. Zhou Mingxuan only opened the door and glanced at it before scolding: "Fuck it! This is an exchange! What age is it that you still go out to do errands in person!"
The second floor was crowded with people, all zombies who could not find the exit. The number could not be estimated!
Tang Le and Zhou Mingxuan slammed the fire door shut, ignoring the loud bang on the door, Tang Le quickly wrapped the chain on the door: "Go up!!"
"I can't go up!" Zhou Mingxuan was incapacitated, and shouted at the zombies chasing downstairs, "Maybe it's a dead end!"
"Going down is also death!" Tang Le roared, "Then what do you say!!"
Everyone had to retreat again and again. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the fourth floor, and Ji Yushi suddenly said, "Go to the sixth floor!"
Li Chun, carrying Duan Wen, was about to cry, and couldn't believe it: "Are you still here?!"
Song Qinglan gritted her teeth and shot. The zombies in front of her climbed over the piles of corpses in the corridor.
"Bang!!"
The fire door on the sixth floor was knocked open, and it was quiet.
With the light from the emergency lights in the corridor, saw a zombie rushing in from the darkness, and was shot in the head by Zhou Mingxuan, who was walking ahead.
"close the door!"
"Don't go looking for something!"
The flashlight lit up in the dark, followed by a sound.
Song Qinglan's hearing was keen, and she stopped in a low voice: "Quiet!"
In the messy flashlight beam, a female zombie ran wildly from the corner.
"Hey—" With a sound, the zombie's forehead burst into a blood hole, its gray-white eyes widened, and it fell to the ground.
When the season rained, there was a little light in the black eyes, and the whole body of the white diamond bird was in his hand.
There was a crash from the fire door behind the team, mixed with the unique roar of zombies.
The silent solution prevented the zombies from discovering them. They only stayed outside the door for a short time, and the chaotic and heavy footsteps quickly passed by and went all the way up.
They are safe for now.
The lights were bright and dazzling. It was Tang Le who found the power switch on the wall.
The decoration here is very exaggerated, with crystal lamps, pink cotton candy-like sofas, and walls of marble and glass bricks, making a group of men not quite sure what this place is.
"Advanced beauty salon." Ji Yushi put away his gun and said, "No one is usually there."
Zhou Mingxuan suddenly raised his laser gun at him, aiming at the red dot, so that Ji Yu narrowed his eyes. In the next second, with a "pop", another zombie fell not far behind him.
Ji Yushi looked back and said calmly, "Thank you."
Zhou Mingxuan saluted.
On the other end, Song Qinglan and Li Chun had already put Duan Wen on the sofa in the beauty salon, and the sofa was soon soaked with blood. Duan Wen lost too much blood, his legs were folded at an unnatural angle, and he was completely unconscious.
Li Chun is in charge of the logistics, and he is also doing the simple medical treatment in the team. Seeing this situation, he can't help but feel hot in his eyes.
Song Qinglan was calmer than Li Chun, and said to everyone, "Stop the bleeding first, and find a clean towel! Then see if there is a first aid kit!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
During the busy search, Zhou Mingxuan asked, "Consultant Ji, how do you know this is a beauty salon."
Ji Yushi said, "There is a floor plan downstairs."
As if he was not used to considering whether others could understand his words, Ji Yushi added: "It's right next to the building sign."
Zhou Mingxuan also remembered, there is indeed a distribution map next to the words "Runjin Building", but ordinary people would only swipe it away in that situation, not to mention the ones who can clearly remember each floor. distributed content.
This way, Zhou Mingxuan and Ji Yushi have changed their minds. Hearing what he said at this time, if it wasn't too heavy, Zhou Mingxuan would just like to praise him from the bottom of his heart.
They quickly found the first aid kit, and Li Chun also found the towels in the disinfection cabinet.
In this case, Li Chun couldn't even sew with needles. There was no other way than to temporarily wrap Duan Wen's left leg with a bandage and a towel.
With great difficulty, Duan Wen's blood was barely stopped. Song Qinglan's hands were already stained with blood, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. He looked around and his eyes fell on Tang Le.
Tang Lehua sat in the corner without saying a word, his eyes were blank, as if he had only been alive for a short while.
Song Qinglan looked at Tang Le solemnly for a few seconds, as if she had something to say, but he finally turned his head and asked, "Where is Consultant Ji?"
Zhou Mingxuan was slightly startled and pointed in the direction of the bathroom: "Go over there."
7:40am.
The bathroom of this high-end beauty salon is spacious and bright, with four princess-style washstands forming a circle, carpeted, and scented candles. You can smell the aroma as soon as you walk in.
But at this time, the aroma was mixed with a faint smell of blood, and a few balls of blood-stained tissues were thrown on the carpet.
The sound of rushing water came.
Song Qinglan circled around the circular washstand for half a circle, and stepped on the innermost position to find Ji Yushi.
During the monsoon rains, was washing face, or in other words, washed hair with plain water.
The viscous blood mixed with clean water turned pink and flowed into the enamel wash basin. The ends of his hair and eyelashes were dripping with water. The wet skin looked whiter than usual, and the bulging blue envelope on his forehead was even more conspicuous. - That was hit by him in a car.
In the mirror, Ji Yushi also saw him: "Song team."
After a fierce battle, everyone almost rolled in the zombie pile. Unlike their guards, who are like soldiers and ruffians, they love cleanliness very much during the rainy season. Everyone can see this.
The strange thing is that even if he has seen Ji Yushi, he is not useless, and he is not a vase for A-level tasks in his imagination. His appearance still makes people feel that he is vulnerable.
Song Qinglan pointed to her forehead in the mirror, and asked unconcernedly, "Are you all right?"
Ji Yushi said, "It's fine. How is Duan Wen?"
Song Qinglan: "The left leg is fractured, and the artery is injured. I'm afraid the leg will be useless."
When the monsoon rains, the action stops.
Song Qinglan said, "I carry him, no matter what, it's better than not seeing anyone."
So much happened along the way too quickly.
They were caught off guard and were pressed by the situation step by step, first Tang Qi, then Duan Wen, and then the current situation.
but if...
Probably both of them thought of going in the same direction. The two of them were silent at the same time, but no one spoke out about the uncertain possibility.
Song Qinglan didn't come to find someone to chat with, and soon he went straight to the topic: "Consultant Ji, how do you know that there is a back alley behind the warehouse?"
Ji Yushi put down the towel: "Then how does the Song team know where the fake wall is?"
"When that woman suddenly changed under my nose, I suddenly remembered."
"What a coincidence, me too."
Judging from the current situation, they are the only people who can remember what happened last time.
Song Qinglan folded her arms and felt a bit of evil spirit on her body, she said as if she didn't care, "If it wasn't for me being crazy, I remember you should have escaped and got into the car."
Ji Yushi nodded: "Yes, but I'm not very lucky. As soon as I got into the car and drove out not too far, I was hit and killed by the space car I encountered just now."
It seems that the last death was not a good memory for them.
It turned out that the sacrifice after the mat didn't work, Song Qinglan scolded in a low voice "Fuck": "It seems that we are not crazy."
Song Qinglan turned on the faucet and flushed the blood from her hands.
Those big hands were clearly articulated, and the blood stained their nails. don't know if it was Duan Wen's or who's.
Song Qinglan stopped before going out. He turned around, his deep black eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see through Ji Yushi's heart.
"By the way, Advisor Ji, do you still remember the mission mode?"
"Remember, it's ouroboros."
Ji Yushi suddenly realized something. In Western legends, the Ouroboros represents the cycle.
How similar they are now!
Song Qinglan suddenly brought up this topic. Seeing Ji Yu's reaction, she put it down gently and reminded, "There is no clue about this matter, and no one knows whether our guess is right or not. If it is wrong, it will be irreversible. I hope it can be kept secret for now."
Song Qinglan's black combat uniform was covered with dark red blood, as if she was dawdling when it was raining in the season. He said, "What, come to the hall as soon as possible to gather and discuss what to do next."
Two minutes later, when Ji Yushi returned to the hall, he threw something at Song Qinglan.
It was just used to make a lever when the car was pried, and then used to make a door handle to pin the fire door, the famous killer - Shenmian.
The fire door was fastened with the fire axe just found during the monsoon.
In front of everyone, Ji Yushi didn't have the self-consciousness of being a subordinate, and his tone was serious: "Weapons should be used when they should be used, and it is best not to leave."
Everyone: "..."
He had just been instructed to twist the cap of the bottle, and now he dared to point his fingers, consultant Ji's courage was really getting bigger and bigger.
Song Qinglan's words were somewhat familiar to Song Qinglan, as if he had said it at the park management office last time.
When the monsoon rains, this person really must be punished.
