from my heart [last days]

Chapter 29 Too Fast

Several people reorganized and moved forward again. The power was cut off for more than ten days, the ventilation system was not turned on, the humidity in the stairwell was very high, and there were tiny drops of water on the walls and floors.

Holding on to the handguard and going downstairs, Peng He felt that his breathing was not smooth, so he sniffled and asked, "Why are you so bored?"

"It's already underwater," Xie Congxin pressed his palm on the rough concrete wall, and said, "It's normal that the air pressure is lower than above."

He is far more sensitive than Peng He. The pressure of the river water seems to pass through a wall tens of centimeters thick, and the oxygen he can get with each breath is less than usual. The body's stress response makes the heart rate increase and the blood pressure Descending faster.

That cigarette should have lasted at least four or ten minutes, but now it seems that it can't be managed for half of the time.

After going down for about 40 meters, we arrived at the basement floor. There was a silver metal door on the platform. Zhou An pushed forward and it was locked.

"There is a card slot," Cheng Yinshang pointed to the small console next to him and said, "Do you want a key card?"

Xie Congxin took out the employee card found in the computer room and handed it to him, "Open it when you are ready, there will be no fewer enemies than above."

Since it was troubleshooting, the employees naturally had to go downstairs, but the elevator was unavailable during a power outage, and the stairwell was clean and the door was locked, which meant that no one escaped from this floor.

Why not escape?

Either you can't escape, or you don't have time to escape.

Everyone except Peng He also thought of this level, Cheng Yin said: "Do I have to go in?"

Xie Congxin said: "You can go back the same way now, this evacuation staircase should be able to go all the way to the visitor center."

The words were not polite at all, Cheng Yinshang was stunned, Zhou An frowned and said: "Academician Xie, Yin Shang didn't mean that."

Of course he knew that Cheng Yinshang didn't mean that. Xie Congxin raised the corners of his lips and smiled jokingly, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Since everyone has the awareness to sacrifice at any time, just open the door."

The bullet was loaded, the card slot beeped, and the door swung open.

It was very dark inside, and there was a burst of strong water vapor, and the two different fishy smells were still evident in the strong rotten smell.

Xie Congxin scanned around with his flashlight, but unexpectedly did not see half a figure. The space on this floor is higher than the top floor, and many pipes with a diameter of several meters can be vaguely seen, intertwined like giant dragons lurking in the dark water. .

The switch on the top was turned on, but the lights here were not turned on. Everyone entered the door one by one, Xie Congxin paused, and there was a thin layer of water on the ground.

"Where is the water leak..." Cheng Yinshang said in a low voice, but as soon as the words came out, the echo indirectly magnified the volume several times, and he immediately stopped talking.Xie Congxin glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and motioned to continue walking in.

However, after walking a few steps, I found that the stagnant water was a bit strange, and it felt slightly sticky when I stepped on it.

Everyone obviously thought of something, and they stopped tacitly. Xie Congxin's flashlight shone on the ground, black and red.

—It was all blood.

The coolness that climbed up the back at that moment was not an illusion, but because he stopped, and in a moment of silence, he heard a slight movement from the depths.

Snapped.

There was a crisp sound as if something had fallen on the blood all over the ground.

Snapped.

It's footsteps!

Cheng Yinshang was a sniper, so he immediately raised his gun to be on guard. Xie Congxin slowly turned his flashlight upwards, and aimed it into the distance.

Something flashed by the flashlight beam in the darkness, and before everyone could see clearly, they heard Pei Ze yell, "Shoot!"

Cheng Yinshang reacted quickly, and immediately pulled the trigger in the direction where the thing was flashing. The bullet hit the flesh and made a muffled sound. After half a second of silence, the sound of slapping water suddenly became intense, as if there were thousands of bullets. Youyu struggled to get ashore, the speed of the footsteps was definitely not something that ordinary people could make - Xie Congxin shone the flashlight along the source of the sound, and his pupils shrank violently after seeing the scene between the pipes clearly.

It was simply a mountain of corpses.

Numerous corpses were stacked together, complete or incomplete, large and small lumps piled up, scarlet all over the eyes, it was hard to tell whether it was internal organs or limbs, only the shape of the head could barely be seen, showing a ferocious death towards them.

The blood on the ground flowed from there. How many people's blood does it take to cover a factory building of thousands of square meters?

"Fuck..."

Even the members of the third team, who are used to seeing blood, have never faced such a scene in peaceful times. Peng He was sluggish, Cheng Yinshang gasped, and Xie Cong had a strong sour taste in his heart and stomach, and the urge to retch made him He could barely stand.

"How could it be..." Cheng Yinshang restrained the trembling of his palms, and he could hardly hold the gun. After the astonishment, the first thing that came to his mind was vigilance, "Who did it?!"

Corpses will never run together by themselves, so who is stacking these corpses together?Zombies? !

"Ho..."

Suddenly there was a gust of cool wind behind his ears, Xie Congxin's pupils shrank sharply and he turned around quickly, something stuck to his back and slipped away, the flashlight only had time to catch a silhouette - it was a zombie!

There was a sudden chill on the back of his hand, the flashlight was hit on the ground, and the thing approached again, right in front of him, almost touching his face!

Before he could turn the flashlight to take a picture, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind, caught his shoulder and pulled him back violently. Xie Congxin pressed his back against the warm chest, and the faint smell of tobacco made him judge that he was behind him. The person in question was Pei Ze, and Pei Ze took out a second flashlight out of nowhere, and slapped it to flash mode in front of his eyes!

"what--!"

The shadow was hit head-on by a strong beam of light, covered its eyes and let out a painful cry, its hunched body was deformed to the point that it was out of the arc that normal people could do, and its cry was hoarse like a wild beast.Pei Ze quickly stuffed the flashlight into Xie Congxin's hand, drew out his saber and attacked!

The zombie was afraid of light and wanted to avoid Pei Ze's attack, but the flashlight in Xie Congxin's hand followed him like a shadow, and finally made him realize that something was wrong. flee in the direction of——

Cheng Yinshang had the best eyesight, and he could see a shadow in the dark. Immediately, he fired several shots in that direction, but he didn't know if he hit them. The strange screams suddenly stopped.

Pei Ze immediately retreated to the side of the crowd without chasing after him. Peng He was still in shock: "What is that? A zombie...?"

Judging from its appearance, it was indeed a human figure and not an animal. Pei Ze's saber was illuminated under the light of a flashlight, and there was no new blood on it, which showed that he hadn't been hit in the fight just a few seconds ago.

Pei Ze frowned and said, "The speed is too fast."

Zhou An was surprised: "Can't even keep up with you?"

Pei Ze shook his head slightly, and Cheng Yin said, "The bullet probably missed, how could it be so fast?"

That speed has far exceeded the level of ordinary living people. Even Pei Ze failed to chase after him, and the zombies they have encountered so far have all been stiff and slow due to joint congestion...

"Fuck!" Peng He suddenly yelled softly, "What's the sound?"

Everyone stopped talking, and then heard a slight cracking sound coming from the darkness, like a chicken bone being bounced on the teeth, a very obvious sound of flesh and blood chewing, Zhou An said: "... I am eating."

It is self-evident what they are eating, but just imagining the scene makes one's hair stand on end, and everyone's scalps tingle, Cheng Yinshang whispered: "Take a picture with a flashlight?"

"No," Xie Congxin turned off the light in his hand instead, moved half a step to the right, and said, "Aim."

Cheng Yinshang didn't know why, but he raised his gun immediately, and saw Xie Congxin suddenly kick the flashlight that had just dropped in the blood towards the mountain of corpses, and gently kicked it out.

The flashlight rolled forward, the light beam trembled, and rolled about five meters away. The chewing sound stopped suddenly, and the shadow in the corpse mountain could be vaguely seen standing up in the darkness——

A few seconds later, the light of the flashlight was blocked by something, it was the zombie that stepped on the flashlight!

Xie Congxin said: "Shoot!"

Peng He and Cheng Yinshang pulled the trigger at the same time, and a string of bullets shot into the flesh and blood!

"what--!"

The zombie roared again, Zhou An drew his knife and went up, shouting: "Turn on the light!"

Xie Congxin's voice sounded almost at the same time: "Exit the same way!"

Everyone was stunned, the flashlight was in Xie Congxin's hands, and Zhou An had already arrived in front of the zombies!

How dangerous it is in the darkness, Peng He said anxiously: "Turn on the light!"

"..." Xie Congxin had no choice but to switch on the flashlight.

The zombie was squatting on the ground in a daze, and Zhou An's saber stabbed straight at the back of his head, but the sudden light in the distance stimulated him and made him realize that there was someone behind him. The body turned 120 degrees like a twist, and turned to bite Zhou An!

"Brother Zhou!" Peng He shot a string of bullets, all of which penetrated into the zombie's chest, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't even stop him for 0.01 seconds. Zhou An took off the gun on his back to block the sharp knife Teeth, shouted at the others: "Keep shooting!"

Even if he has copper walls and iron walls and steel bones, if he is not refined, he will not be able to survive being shot into a honeycomb by a 5.8mm diameter fully armored steel core warhead. A gleam of light flashed in the darkness on the side—

There was a bang, and the bullet pierced through the light curtain and shot towards Zhou An.

It's not Peng He, someone's gun is faster than Peng He's!
