Chapter 338 Little Miracle (Second Update)
"When operating in ruins, you must pay attention to the surrounding environment and try to move silently so as not to provoke the surrounding zombies. Their hearing is very sensitive and they are as good at hiding as cockroaches. Once discovered One, that means there are a hundred hiding in the dark."
Between the dilapidated buildings, an old man wearing a body armor lowered his voice and explained the situation here to the little boy beside him.
The boy's eyes were tightly closed, with no eyeballs under his eyelids. When he was asked to act silently, he immediately covered his mouth to express that he would not make any sound.
After rubbing the boy's head with satisfaction, the uncle led the boy slowly into the building and followed the abandoned escalator to the underground floor.
The emergency power supply here is still working, and the groundwater has not penetrated yet. Although there are signs of panic everywhere after the zombie attack, the lights in front of the supermarket are luckily on.
Pointing to the supermarket sign, the uncle said: "The place we are going to enter now is a supermarket, which often contains necessary food, bottled water and various daily necessities. Do not eat rotten food, and do not touch food with liquids. But if it is a sealed can, then you can eat it."
The boy grabbed the uncle's clothes and tilted his head curiously, as if asking: "What is a can?"
"Wrapped in iron...shh."
Holding the boy's head , the uncle took the boy and hid under the cashier at the door, and then heard footsteps walking past the two of them.
The opponent's steps are very light, and his body weight is about forty-five kilograms. However, it would be wrong to conclude that the opponent has little strength based on his weight alone.
In the previous settlement, the uncle saw with his own eyes that a three-millimeter-thick steel plate was torn apart by the opponent's sharp nails. A large number of soldiers resisted with heavy weapons, but they were still unable to eliminate more and more zombies and fell completely.
All residents were bitten by zombies, assimilated in a short period of time, and then rushed towards their companions.
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, the uncle just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps suddenly speeding up and heading towards them with a sound like silver bells.
"Oops!"
He stood up decisively and saw that the returning zombies were already rushing towards him.
Unlike zombies in the traditional sense, these zombies look just like normal people and even have their own intelligence.
But their outlook on life has been reshaped by death, leaving only an endless desire to kill the living.
The beautiful appearance was right in front of him, but he had no intention of admiring it.
He already held the crossbow in his hand, pointed the crosshair at the opponent's head, and then quickly pulled the trigger.
The victory or defeat is only a matter of lightning. After intertwining with each other, the zombie's head has been pierced by the crossbow arrow, and then fell not far away.
But this is not enough.
The opponent's body is almost immortal. Even if it is burned to ashes, it can still be reborn from the ashes. The fatal injury just now can only make her temporarily stop moving. When her head is repaired, the opponent will rush over immediately.
Pulling the little boy, the uncle immediately fled deeper into the supermarket. Behind him, the zombie that had been hit by an arrow stood up again, and then walked towards him with a coquettish smile.
Her head had been penetrated, but her movements were not affected. Instead, she used her hands and feet to rush towards them.
Turning his head and taking a look, the uncle cursed secretly: "It's a mutant."
Rushing into the elevator, the uncle didn't bother to close the elevator immediately, and then heard a harsh scratching sound.
The elevator door cannot resist for long, and the opponent's strength can even break the steel pipe. It is only a matter of time before the thick door is breached.
They have to go!
However, the elevator is also unsafe. This place that originally allowed people to quickly switch between different floors has now become some kind of weird existence.
When traveling between floors, he will lead people to different alien spaces, some of which are even more dangerous than zombies.
However, they were at their wits' end.
Letting the little boy hold him obediently, the uncle began to study the floors here despite the harsh scratching sounds outside.
Although the space of the elevator has been distorted, it will still change according to the previous corresponding floor.
Of course, this is not absolute, everything depends on luck.
You can't go to the dining area, where the ingredients are probably theirs.
You can't go to the costume area either, as the costume dolls there will most likely come to life and attack them.
The book area is no good either. There is a high probability that the contents in the books will materialize and be contaminated. Death immediately after entering is the best ending. What is even more terrifying are some plots where life is worse than death.
Finally, he set his sights on the entertainment layer.
The entertainment floor is considered a relatively safe place, but only relatively speaking.
The risk factor in other areas can reach 10,000, so there may only be 5,000 there.
In his former settlement, people would occasionally be forced into the entertainment floor, but some of them could come back alive, which showed that there was a possibility of survival there.
Taking a deep breath, the uncle clenched the crossbow in his hand, and then said to the little boy: "In a moment, if I appear in danger, then leave me alone and escape as soon as possible. The stairs with green lights are safe, and the stairs with red lights are safe. You can't walk. No, you can't see... Then listen to the sound. Places with strong winds are safe, but places with windy but faint laughter are dangerous. There may be multiple stairs on one floor, so try to Find a safe staircase and leave."
The boy held the uncle's clothes tightly and nodded vigorously.
He rubbed the boy's head gently, and the scars on the uncle's face no longer looked so ferocious.
"You are newly grown children, and hope is here for you. Remember, nothing is more precious than hope, and this is the only motivation to survive here. Let's go." Press the button on the
entertainment floor hard, overweight The feeling appeared, causing them to slowly rise towards the fifth floor.
The harsh scratching sound disappeared behind him, and the closed elevator slowly entered another world at this time. A slight dizziness came over, making the uncle almost fall, but he was still ready immediately.
After a while, the door opened.
The entertainment floor on the top floor looked very dark, and the surroundings were so silent that the uncle could even hear his heart beating violently.
To protect the boy, he first threw out a bottle with the rat inside, and then used his searchlight to hit the rat.
The mouse in the plastic bottle began to squeak. The unfamiliar environment made the mouse anxious, but it seemed that there was no problem.
Taking a long breath, the uncle took out a glow stick and threw it out.
The light of the fluorescent sticks illuminated the surroundings, allowing him to see that this was already the top floor of the building. Various entertainment facilities were placed here, and everything was brand new, which was incompatible with the apocalyptic atmosphere. The more abnormal the place, the more attention must be paid to safety issues. Therefore, the uncle did not relax his vigilance because of the quietness here. Instead, he said to the little boy: "Don't use anything here, don't drink the water here, everything here is dangerous." It’s disordered, and the probability of error is far higher than the probability of safety.”
The boy grabbed the other person's clothes again and tilted his head in confusion.
"Don't you know what probability is? It's just... I can't explain it well, the word is a bit abstract. You should listen to the teacher's lecture, but... forget it, anyway, you just know that it is very dangerous here. I told you before What's the safe word? Do you remember it?"
The boy nodded and then made a three sign with his finger.
"Yes, there are three words. Keep these three words in your heart, and then follow me closely. If I disappear, run immediately. If I come back, ask me for the safe word. Do you understand?"
The boy nodded.
"Good boy."
He walked in with his uncle. Although the boy could not see, his hearing and skin were extremely sensitive. He could sense nearby objects from the surrounding breeze.
The uncle also explained the situation here as he walked.
"There is a carousel here, which keeps spinning in a circle. There are mounts you can sit on next to it. These mounts are carved into different shapes of animals and even vehicles." "
There is an ocean ball, which is full of It is a place for plastic balls. A large number of fist-sized plastic balls are piled up here. I loved playing here when I was a child." "
There is a lot of sand, and there are all kinds of interesting toys in the sand. The sand castle is particularly interesting."
Boy Listening quietly, a look of yearning appeared on his face involuntarily.
Everything he had never seen before, but wanted to experience. The temptation here was greater than he imagined, but he still followed the uncle's instructions and followed him and never left.
Just when they thought there was nothing else going on here, the lights around them suddenly turned on.
The dazzling light illuminated the place, and the situation of the entire entertainment floor immediately appeared in front of their eyes. Sweet music sounded, and the surrounding facilities also started to operate at this time.
A service employee wearing a bunny costume appeared here, with an exaggerated smile on his white mask, and the blood at the corner of his mouth showed that he was definitely not as kind as he looked.
"Welcome to our death playground. It looks like we have two distinguished guests today. Excuse me, which of you will die first?"
The uncle immediately pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow accurately shot into the opponent's left eye, causing the opponent to let out a harsh scream. scream.
After shooting the arrow, he immediately picked up the boy and quickly retreated backwards, while constantly looking for a safe exit.
The music around him was getting louder and louder, and the noisy sound seemed like millions of mosquitoes buzzing in his ears. With this noisy sound, the uncle found that everything in front of him was blurring, and his physical strength was rapidly declining. In the end, even holding the boy became a bit exhausted.
However, he still stubbornly took off all his equipment, and the bulky backpack fell behind him. There were many treasures in it that he had worked hard to collect, which were good helpers for him to survive in this strange and troubled world. , but now is no longer the time to pity these items.
The removal of the equipment made his body feel lighter, and the green safety exit appeared in front of him, giving him a glimmer of hope.
But just when he reached the exit and put his hand on the exit door, he felt his legs were entangled with something, causing him to fall forward immediately.
Before he landed, he was acutely aware that he had been captured.
Immediately throwing the boy out, he shouted to the boy: "Run! The road is in front of you, run!"
The boy who landed turned around, panic flashed across his face.
He didn't stop at all, he just obeyed his uncle's instructions and ran forward as hard as he could.
The door in front of him was forced open by him. The pain of the impact made him scream involuntarily. His shoulder was broken in the impact just now. The burning pain made him more awake and he ran down faster.
My uncle said that you should hold on to the handrail when going down the stairs.
The uncle said that you can't count the steps at this time.
The uncle said that if he dies one day, there is no need to miss him.
Uncle, I can't do it...
The boy with tears on his face stumbled and ran up the stairs. He fell down again and again, but stood up again and again. The pain and fear made him tremble, but the uncle's instructions made him try again. Get up firmly and run forward.
He didn't know how long it took, but he felt like he was finally done.
Another door was pushed open, and he could feel the air on the other side becoming fresher. The previous sense of danger disappeared, but the music around him did not stop.
He could sense people around him, but he didn't know who they were. Although the uncle said not to make any noise in unknown places to avoid encountering bad things, the current situation is no longer worse.
Opening his mouth, he yelled intermittently in a hoarse voice: "Is there... anyone? Uncle... help uncle..."
Every time he spoke a word, his throat, muted by the poisonous gas, felt like a knife. , but he still shouted with all his strength, hoping for the almost impossible rescue.
Running, pain, fear, and worry about his uncle, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, causing the boy to use up his last bit of strength and fainted on the roadside.
In front of him, the terrifying castle stood here, with black clouds and mist appearing, and a building that looked like the devil's castle standing here.
If it weren't for the notice at the door, no one would believe that this is actually a large amusement park.
And it’s Lao Wang’s playground.
The child's exclamation was regarded as part of the performance here. Visitors who came here looked at him curiously, not knowing what kind of performance he would perform next.
The tourists watched for a while until a ghost confirmed that the child was really unconscious and that the wounds on his body were not makeup. Then they went to report the problem to the staff.
Not long after, the muscular man who was cooking came over.
Even among a group of monsters and monsters, he is the most conspicuous one.
He was wearing the jeans given to him by Lao Wang, with nothing on his upper body, and a white apron covered in blood.
He himself was holding a huge boning knife, with a large amount of minced meat and fat stuck to the knife, making people wonder what he had cut with this knife.
After pushing aside the crowd of ghosts, he saw the boy on the ground. He thought for a while, then held the little child in his hands and turned towards his kitchen.
