Chapter 283: Besieging the Rooftop(1/2)
The rain is dense, and the whole sky is gloomy.
It rained for two consecutive days, but the temperature outside did not drop. In this humid and stuffy weather, people were wrapped in airtight protective clothing, which made them even more stuffy and uncomfortable, and the sweat on everyone was stuffed out of layers after layer.
What’s even more uncomfortable is that once you wear protective clothing, you can’t eat and drink water, and you can’t go to the toilet at will.
But even so, no one dared to take off their protective clothing casually.
After all, many people were infected without even the chance to wear protective clothing. In contrast, because of the protection of the troops, their group of people survived when the plague broke out two days ago.
Huang Yue and Zhang Dong stood under the stairs, looking up at the troops who were breaking the locks in front of the security door on the roof with a numb expression.
In the past few days, they have moved two shelters. The first time was in the gymnasium. There were still many people at that time, with 50 or 60 players and the people in total. The second time was in the underground warehouse of a supermarket.
They originally thought that this was just an ordinary acute lesion, and as long as they were protected by the troops, they could board the plane leaving Fran City as soon as possible. But the current situation was too far from their imagination. Not to mention ordinary people like them, even the troops who protected them all the way were gradually decreasing.
Some people were infected and were directly shot dead by the commander of the army. Some people were afraid and fled directly while the night was dark...
Before today, there were five members of the army left, and the captain and four team members. Huang Yue and Zhang Dong knew in their hearts that if it weren't for the captain's support, the team would have disbanded long ago.
Tragically, this morning, they found that the captain was also infected...
At that moment, they really thought they were in desperate situation. Fortunately, in despair, the troops received news of the entire city's evacuation. The city area had completely lost control. No matter how many guards were set up or how many shelters were, they could not resist deterioration and infection.
The military headquarters said that starting from today, they will no longer drop materials into the city. They have established shelter areas with better defense functions in various parts of the city's outskirts, requiring the military personnel and ordinary people in the city to evacuate the entire line.
However, after two days of heavy rain, the rain mixed with the blood and pus that the fungus parasites exploded. The water on the ground was all corrosive. Their cars had already come to the east side of the city. They could reach the suburbs by driving east or south for more than 30 kilometers, but the tires of the car were completely out of reach.
They were all wearing chemical protective suits and originally wanted to get off the bus and walk. They might encounter other evacuation teams that had not yet been damaged by the car or find cars that could drive.
But when they arrived here, they saw a large number of parasites in the rain. Louis, who was temporarily captain, made a quick decision and immediately took them to detour. However, the situation in this area was very bad, and parasites were blocking the road everywhere.
Their flamethrower has little leftover, and with heavy rain, it is very poor in use in the rain, so they don’t want to waste it, so they end up hiding into the building.
The building is the tallest nearby. With it not a residential building, Louis feels that the number of parasites inside may be smaller, and they can break through to the top floor and try to call for help.
Louis and the others knew that when the entire line was evacuated, in addition to driving away from the city spontaneously, the troops would also send helicopters to transfer some people who had no conditions to leave the city by themselves.
However, when their contact equipment was evacuated from the underground warehouse shelter, they were accidentally contaminated by the blood and pus of the parasitic rats. In addition, the communication signals in the whole city were completely cut off, so they were unable to contact the headquarters for the time being.
But they still have a few magnesium rods left, hoping to send a distress signal when the helicopter passes by.
After Kao broke through the door lock, he found that the door of the safety stairs was locked from the outside. In other words, someone locked the door after arriving at the roof of the building, which means that there should be someone on the roof!
Before they could go out to check, the team members Joan and Joseph, who were alert at the end of the team, heard a voice: "They are coming!"
They refer to those strange-shaped parasites of bacterial species. The heavy rain in the past two days has nourished the growth of bacterial species. Those parasites dragging fungi mycelium are soaked and their flesh is soaked, and they look more and more
Weird and ugly hair.
Some of these parasites slowly came in from outside with their team, while others were attracted by popularity and movement and walked out from all levels of the building.
The safety building has only two directions: up and down, and is blocked below, so they can only run towards the roof.
Louis and Cao pushed open the door and made the position open, allowing the people in the middle to avoid going up the roof first, but the security door has been destroyed and there is no way to lock it from outside. They must eliminate these parasites in the building, otherwise they will chase to the roof, which will only pollute the last area that can be avoided.
Joan and Joseph have turned on the flamethrower. When used in the building, the effect is many times better than in the rain. However, there are too many parasites and they slowly gather.
Looking down from their position, the entire stairs were covered almost densely. Once they were approaching, their protective suits could not resist them.
Once the line of defense between the two of them is broken, the others will have no way to die.
Kao stood by the safety door and looked down, then returned to pick up the last flamethrower in Louis's hand, letting Louis stay and wait for the helicopter, and he was about to rush down and fight against the parasites.
His life was saved by the captain. The captain was a person with a stronger sense of responsibility than anything else. His only wish before his death was to protect these people. He handed over this unfinished task to the four of them. He did not want to let down the captain's trust and hopes.
Just as he was rushing down in Louis's cry, someone pulled him from behind him.
You Xi's eyes flashed through the familiar face in the other party's protective suit again, and she frowned: "What's your name?"
"Who are you?" Kao looked at the other party in surprise, and found that he could not break free from her hand.
This person is not from their team. She looks like she is wearing protective clothing, but her protective clothing is completely different from theirs. It is like a layer of transparent gelatin, which looks light and thin.
She wore a very small mask on her mouth and nose, like something like a respiratory device, but he did not see the presence of an oxygen cylinder in her protective suit.
Because of the support of airdrop materials, these people have never lacked food and drink in the shelter, but after hiding and frightening for several days, they will inevitably be disheveled.
But the other party looked refreshed and tidy, wearing clean short-sleeved and hot pants in the protective suit, as if he had just walked out of a very safe bedroom.
"Forget it." You Xi did not continue to worry about her name. She appeared to save people because she saw the previous mission object. However, she did not expect that in this team, in addition to the mission object, she would also see another face that could not appear here.
But since I decided to save it, it must be fast and effective.
She pushed the other party out of the security door and raised the flamethrower in her hand: "Go to the top floor and don't block it in the corridor!"
After You Xi said that, he held the handrail of the stairs and jumped directly from the twelfth floor to the eleventh floor, then from the eleventh floor to the 10th floor, and landed behind the two team members: "Get out of the way! Go to the roof!"
The flamethrower in Joan and Joseph's hands was about to be seen, but suddenly someone "falls from the sky". They were both startled. The next second, the other party turned on the jet in his hands, and the blazing flames ejected again. Even through the protective layer, the scorching high temperature could be felt.
But this high temperature makes them feel safe. After all, only flames can effectively eliminate parasites.
The two of them took a step or two and didn't go to the top of the building. There were more and more parasites in the stairs. She had only one person and could not keep here at all.
You Xi guessed their idea. Even if she kept fuel and the flames burned, it would take time. She really couldn't keep it here alone, but she didn't plan to keep it.
She killed several fungi parasites in the front row that had already reached the ninth floor, then turned around, grabbed a team member, shouted and left, and ran upwards.
Another team member immediately subconsciously followed and took them back to the eleventh floor. The flamethrower in her hand had been replaced with a small rocket launcher. She bent down and looked at the direction of the building, and quickly launched it to the middle of the tenth floor and the nineth floor of the stairs.
boom!
With a loud bang, everyone else felt the vibration of the building.
After the fire and smoke dissipated, when several team members checked again, they found that the stairs facing up the ninth floor had been completely interrupted. No matter how many parasites there were, they could not climb to ten floors, which was equivalent to being cut off from the road ahead.
"Wow——" Qiao An exclaimed in surprise, saying that as long as the parasite does not learn to climb up, it is impossible to get up.
You Xi put away the rocket launcher and did not deliberately hide his special features.
However, at the critical moment of life and death, the world around us has become like this. Others are just surprised by the special features of You Xi and have not paid too much attention to it.
She walked back to the top floor, signaled to others to close the door, and then brought a few heavier decorations beside her and temporarily approached the stair door.
Kao walked over and answered the question she asked before: "Hello, my name is Kao, thank you for saving us."
You Xi looked at the other person's face in the protective suit again. The other person's eyes looked at her were a little confused and complicated.
I don’t know if this confusion and complexity is because of the weapon that appeared out of thin air and disappeared, or because of her.
She read it right, she remembered this face. But at that time, he was not as young as he is now. Maybe he just changed his clothes, changed his hairstyle and color, or maybe he had made other modifications.
At that time, his name was Ron.
In the evening, two helicopters in front and behind passed by this area, but I don’t know if it was because the magnesium rods were not light enough and the rain was too heavy, which blocked the helicopter’s field of view. So no matter how many team members shook the magnesium rods, the helicopter did not find everyone on the roof.
It got darker and the magnesium rod was exhausted. Everyone standing in the rain was tired and hungry, and their hearts were colder.
You Xi had already sent a message with Lin Wu before leaving the tree house, and changed the way of meeting. The tree house was also put away after leaving, so she was sitting quietly in the rain on one side, waiting.
She was wearing "self-cleaning protective clothing". Although the name of this prop contains the word "coat", its appearance is actually not a clothing, but two bracelets that can be worn on the wrist.
When you need to use it, a transparent gelatinous protective layer will be formed on the outside of the body from head to toe. Whether in terms of lightness or wearing steps, it is many times better than ordinary chemical protective clothing.
Generally, chemical protective clothing is bulky and cumbersome. In addition to the mask, other places are opaque, so the vision will be somewhat affected when moving.
Now, in addition to using this "self-cleaning protective clothing" with an oxygen mask, it is as convenient as her second layer of skin.
She didn't know whether the ten uses were calculated based on the number of excitations, or whether each excitation had a time, and it would only be considered a time after the time was spent.
Anyway, according to the current situation, after her first inspiration, the black screen area on the bracelet will automatically pop up the number "10".
She also wanted to see how long it took for a single excitation to be used continuously without putting it away.
The others didn't dare to disturb her, and they all sat on the other side of the roof.
When the third helicopter passed by, everyone who was originally quiet stood up and shouted at the top of their heads with all their might. A team member even sprayed flames several times in a row with the remaining flamethrower, hoping to attract the attention of the helicopter above.
But none of this helps, and You Xi also wanted to help, but she didn't have the flying tools. In this case, even if she could take them from the outside of the building to the ground and take out the car, the car's tires would not last long.
Their only chance to escape is to attract the attention of the helicopter, let the helicopter descend the rescue basket, take them away from the air - and so on, attract?
You Xi suddenly thought of a tool that he ignored, which was a small gift that he brought in the fairy tale paradise bracelet.
After a moment, a red firework soared into the sky. The fireworks were like a meteor, rushing straight into the high altitude from a low altitude, then blooming like a flower at a certain height, and then began to flash various pictures.
First there is a beautiful huge silver-blue crystal shoe, then a beautiful one
The red rose, then turned into a silver mirror with black vortexes, followed by a castle wrapped in vines and flowers...
Such incredible fireworks, even the pilot on the helicopter was blind, noticed that the plane was approaching the fireworks, and then another blue fireworks rose from the roof of a building below. This time, the blue fireworks were like a beautiful bird, constantly hovering on the roof of the building that emitted fireworks.
The team members on the helicopter adjusted the direction of the searchlight, and looked down at the roof. Under the searchlight, more than a dozen people waved hard at the roof, shouting and jumping.
"That's great! Saved!" Huang Yue hugged her husband tightly, and hope arose in her desperate heart again.
Two times, survive in a desperate situation.
This feeling of seeing hope again at the end is simply unresolved by those who have not experienced it.
Kao turned around and wanted to find the young woman to get her on the helicopter with everyone. He had even secretly talked with the team members and the public, and wanted to keep silent about her special things.
But when he turned around, there was no trace of the other party on the roof of the building.
He flashed in front of him again, calm and composed when the other party was carrying the rocket launcher to fire. Suddenly, the flashing picture became blurred and distorted. He seemed to be in a chaotic street. While the other party took back the rocket launcher from the car window, he raised the car window regardless of his shouts...
To be continued...
