Chapter 6: Mysterious Female Corpse, Asking for the Moon
It's separated by curtains, but the light in the room is far darker than outside. Blurred figures stand in the corridor, and their shadows are reflected on the curtains, making them look like a group of people looking in through the glass.
People's scalp is numb.
"when??"
The ranger screamed frantically in his heart, and his whole body felt bad.
"what to do!!"
The helpless ranger could only look at Xu Tong, hoping that he would come up with a good idea.
However, what Xu Tong was thinking about at this moment was not this issue, but another matter.
When they came up, there were obviously no infected people. Why did so many infected people suddenly pop up at this time?
This couldn't help but make him feel worried. It seemed that these infected people were not completely out of ideas, or that there was someone controlling them behind their backs.
If these infected people are really being directed by someone...
Suddenly, a chill came down, causing Xu Tong's eyes to glow coldly. He turned around and walked to the cabinet, looking at the boy huddled in the cabinet: "Are you really Xiao Chengzhi?"
"yes!"
The boy clenched his fingers tightly and did not dare to raise his head. He always lowered his head and held his trousers tightly with his other hand.
The closet was very dark, and the boy thought that others could not see his little moves, but little did he know that under Xu Tong's dark vision, these little moves were simply self-inflicted.
Seeing this, Xu Tong no longer needed to ask any more questions. He stretched out his arm and pulled the child out of the closet: "If you don't tell me, I will throw you out as bait!"
His voice was very soft, as if he said it casually.
But in the man's ears, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue. He opened his mouth to shout, but Xu Tong covered him tightly. At the same time, he said to the ranger: "Open the door, throw him out and let's go!"
This scene caused the boy to collapse instantly, tears streaming down his face, and shaking his head repeatedly.
At this time, Xu Tong let go of his hand and said coldly: "I want to ask you one last time where Xiao Chengzhi is?"
The boy pointed to the box on the wardrobe: "I hid him in the box."
After hearing what the boy said, Xu Tong pulled down the curtains and motioned to the ranger to take down the small suitcase above.
When they took the box down and took a look, Xu Tong and Youxia looked at each other and saw a child curled up in the box, trembling all over.
"That's right, it's him."
Seeing that his whole body was twitching, the two of them quickly took out the prepared medicine and gave it to Xiao Chengzhi to take.
After taking the medicine, Xiao Chengzhi's body temperature gradually returned to normal and he slowly opened his eyelids.
This made the ranger feel relieved immediately, but when he glanced at the other boy, his eyes turned evil.
However, his intentions were naturally noticed by Xu Tong, who patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's normal."
The boy hid in the cupboard for who knows how long. He finally waited for someone to rescue him, but he was asked for someone else's name. Not to mention a timid child, even an adult would probably choose the same thing at this time.
The way.
"Then what should we do now? Should we wait here for dawn??"
The ranger looked back at the shadows outside the window, feeling terrified.
"Of course we are looking for foreign aid."
Xu Tong took out his cell phone, clicked on the call history, and scrolled down two pages. Sure enough, they were all rent-driving calls from Aunt Wang, with the words "stinky landlord" written on them.
After dialing the phone, about a few seconds later, Aunt Wang's voice came from the other end of the phone. After Xu Tong briefly explained how they were trapped, Aunt Wang just said: "Wait."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The four people waited quietly in the room. In the dark room, everyone was like a diver. They only dared to take a small breath every time and unconsciously held their breath.
No one can guarantee whether these infected people will suddenly smash the glass and rush in like crazy.
"boom!!"
Suddenly there was a roaring explosion that shook the entire glass.
The huge rumbling sound, like water droplets dripping into boiling oil, immediately woke up all the infected people around them. They let out a low scream from their mouths and rushed toward the source of the sound.
The sound of shouting footsteps can make people feel panicky.
Looking at the figures passing by outside the window, an elderly couple were tightly clustered together. The old man held his wife's head tightly and closed his eyes tightly.
In another room, a woman was lying on the ground, holding a Bible in her hands, but still silently reciting "Amitabha."
"It's okay, it's okay, be good, baby, be good, baby!"
A young woman looked at the figure running past the window with a horrified expression, holding the baby in her arms tightly to her chest, fearing that he would make the slightest cry.
"Squeak~~boom!!!"
Brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded in the air, blooming with brilliant firelight in this silent night.
"Let's go!!"
Seeing the infected people outside the corridor being attracted away, Xu Tong quickly opened the door and let the ranger walk in front, while he walked behind with a big knife.
Rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor.
There is only one word in everyone's head, "Run!!"
In the past, it only took five or six steps to go downstairs, but today, I don’t know why, but it always felt like it would never end.
When we were about to reach the first floor.
Suddenly the door on one side was pushed open, and a woman rushed out with her child in her arms: "Save my child, save my child, is there a doctor? Save my child!"
The woman was the young woman who lived opposite Xu Tong. As soon as she rushed out, she looked at the four people running down the stairs.
The woman was stunned for a moment, screamed and rushed towards them, reaching out to grab the ranger: "Quick, save my child, save my child!!!"
"Stop making noise!!!"
The ranger's expression changed. When they rushed out, he had already activated his prop card [Echo Ear] to ensure early detection of danger along the way.
The woman's scream had obviously caused the few infected people following to slow down.
But the woman didn't care about this at all. She held up the baby in her arms and wanted the ranger to help him.
Seeing this, the ranger actually raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it directly into the woman's abdomen.
Immediately blood splattered out, and the woman was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her lower abdomen that were quickly stained red by blood. She then raised her head blankly and looked at Xu Tong and others.
"Save...my child!"
Xu Tong pushed the ranger away and stepped forward to take a look, his expression suddenly darkened.
The child's face was bruised and he had obviously died of suffocation, and it had been quite a while.
At this time, the ranger's expression suddenly changed. He looked up and looked behind them. The information returned through the sound wave showed that something was approaching them at an extremely fast speed. The speed was definitely not comparable to those of the infected.
.
"There's something, it's very fast!! Let's go!!"
Not knowing what it was, the ranger felt terrified and hurriedly urged Xu Tong and the others to leave quickly.
The four of them turned around and ran down. However, when Xu Tong ran down the corner of the stairs, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. When he looked back, he saw a shadow standing next to the woman's body.
With the help of dark vision, the outline of the shadow gradually became clear. It was a female corpse with half of its head eaten away. But strangely, the female corpse did not pounce on it like other infected people.
Instead, he reached out to pick up the child in the woman's arms, caressing the dead baby with his palms, and looked at Xu Tong sideways, with a dark green light shining in his eyes.
Just when Xu Tong was surprised, the woman actually grinned at him and walked upstairs with the baby in her arms.
In a daze, he vaguely seemed to hear the cry of a baby.
"Doctor, why are you in such a daze?!"
At this time, the ranger suddenly let out a loud voice, which made Xu Tong startled. When he looked again, the cries of the woman and the baby had disappeared.
He didn't have time to turn back to see what was going on, because the fireworks had stopped at this time, and the infected people were rushing back quickly. If he didn't run away, he would be blocked in this corridor.
When Xu Tong hurried downstairs, he could already see the infected people running towards them in the distance.
Fortunately, these infected people did not arrive very quickly, and the distance was long. By the time Xu Tong closed the large iron door of the supermarket, these infected people were belatedly arriving.
The sound of the iron door "slapping, banging, banging..." echoed in the night.
After Xu Tong and the others closed the second iron door heavily, the group finally collapsed on the ground.
"There is a near miss but no danger, there is a near miss but no danger!!"
The ranger sat down on the ground, picked up a bottle of mineral water, put it in his mouth and started drinking. Although there were no dangers along the way, his heart almost jumped out of his throat along the way.
Who would have thought that there would be so many infected people in this inconspicuous tube building.
If they were really surrounded, it would be a disaster.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Aunt Wang carefully groped Xiao Chengzhi's body and felt relieved after making sure that he was safe. As for the other boy, Aunt Wang also knew him. He was the child of Xiao Chengzhi's neighbor, named Zhang Qiang. The two children often played together.
Just like brothers.
Being able to bring Zhang Qiang back, this result must be an unexpected surprise for Aunt Wang.
As for Zhang Qiang's impersonation of Xiao Chengzhi, both Xu Tong and Youxia chose to remain silent. Everyone knew that there was no right or wrong in the face of life and death. Zhang Qiang's actions may seem immoral, but when life and death are at stake, who can say that he is wrong?
!
[Side mission; rescue completed]
"When you complete the side mission, you can randomly unlock a prop card."
At this time, a prompt sounded in both ears at the same time. In Kanter's mood, the two of them seemed to be waiting for a trial, waiting for the prompt to unlock the props.
"Item card [Magic Power] has been unlocked."
Hearing the news from the space, Xu Tong couldn't help but cover his forehead and smile bitterly, but the ranger's face lit up with joy: "Hahaha!"
He slapped his thigh and said to Xu Tong with an ecstatic expression: "It's done, now I don't have to worry anymore..."
Just when he was about to show off to Xu Tong the prop card he had unlocked.
Suddenly, Xu Tong raised his head with a strange expression, and saw a countdown appearing above them again...
PS: Sorry for oversleeping and being a little late. This is the first update today. I will go and code the second update. I think it will be posted before six o'clock.
