In the dark corridor, there was a sound of gnawing from time to time. Several infected people in suits were forming a circle, hugging the body of a companion wearing blue overalls on the ground and starting to eat.
The head of the eaten infected person shook from time to time, as if struggling.
But his limbs had long been chewed clean, so struggling was obviously useless.
"Ah! Ah!!"
When he saw someone reaching for his head, the other infected person immediately became angry, screamed and opened the other person's hand, then picked up his head, opened his mouth and gnawed down.
The other infected people wanted to fight when they saw this, but they seemed to be very afraid of him. They only dared to gather around and let out low roars.
But that's all they dared to do. The infected person at the head still went his own way and had no intention of giving them a single star.
Even while chewing, he glanced at the other companions.
Seemingly aware of the danger, the two infected people turned around and left, leaving only the other two infected people still waiting, hoping to get some scraps.
"ah!!"
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the corridor, like the screams of the two infected people who had just left. The three infected people quickly raised their heads and looked at the steps downstairs. In the deep darkness, suddenly
It became quiet.
"boom!"
Throwing away the half-eaten head, the leader of the infected stared into the darkness with dark green eyes, vaguely seeming to see something.
Just when he raised his head and wanted to see more clearly, "Puff, puff, puff..." Several slender tentacles surged out of the darkness in an instant, like pythons, and quickly wrapped his head.
group, and then quickly pulled into darkness.
The whole process went smoothly, and the infected person didn't even have a chance to struggle.
This time there was not even a scream, only a rattling sound was heard, and the corridor suddenly became quiet. Suddenly, the two infected people were left holding the remaining head on the ground, and disappeared in a hurry.
He ran away without a trace.
"It runs pretty fast!"
After a while, Xu Tong and Big Fatty came up. Big Fatty was holding a bag of potato chips in his hand. He ate each piece carefully, sniffing it first, then licking it, and finally put it on the tip of his tongue and put it into his mouth.
Inside, he tasted it delicately and looked at the intoxicated expression on his face. It would be a loss to the food circle not to be a food judge.
Looking at the corpse on the ground with its head removed, he couldn't help but feel worried. It was said that there were not many infected people in this building.
But the number of evolvers far exceeds that of Tongzilou.
Not only that, the centipede monster and the fat man we encountered just now belong to the stronger level among the evolvers at this stage.
Now, even ordinary infected people are beginning to devour other companions to quickly increase their strength.
If I said before that the probability of evolution is one in a thousand, then in this place, the probability is probably not just one in a thousand, but even one percent.
This couldn't help but remind him of the word "Gu Raising". This building is a Gu altar for raising Gu. The narrow space and limited food make the infected here evolve much faster than the outside world.
Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at the fat man behind him. Seeing him holding potato chips and eating them with relish, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "They like to chew their heads, don't you like to chew them?"
In fact, he was also very curious in his heart, whether the fat man was an evolved person or an ordinary infected person.
Call him an infected person. He has completely mutated. Whether it is his slender tentacles or his ability to self-destruct, it is obviously not something ordinary infected people can have.
But if you want to say that he is an evolved person, Fatty doesn't seem to be interested in the heads of these infected people at all.
Even after twisting off the heads of the three infected people just now, there was no desire to even take a look.
This was completely different from the evolvers he had learned about.
"Don't eat it, it stinks!"
The fat man looked at the corpse on the ground, and his face was full of disgust.
Yes, he is obviously an evolving person with great ambitions.
Unable to figure out how Fatty became an evolver, Xu Tong simply stopped thinking about it. He had more important things to do, which was to find the monkey as soon as possible.
When Xu Tong thought of monkeys, many memory fragments of him and the monkeys playing together popped up in Xu Tong's mind, although he knew that these memory fragments were deliberately implanted into him by space.
But I still couldn't help but feel worried about the monkey.
In addition to being better at climbing than ordinary people, this guy's fighting ability is not as good as that of an ordinary person. He is so thin that if he hits that stick, it feels like a gust of wind can blow him down.
In addition, there is no food or water source, so this building is like a voodoo garden. The monkeys are worse than mice, and any infected person can kill him.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After climbing to the twenty-sixth floor, I opened the door and saw that it was actually a warehouse. After searching carefully for a while, I found no trace of the monkey at all.
Just as he was about to leave with the fat man, he suddenly found several large boxes standing in the corner. What attracted him was not the boxes, but the signs on the boxes, which said "flammable and explosive".
Is it some kind of contraband??
Xu Tong's eyes lit up. In the current national situation, not to mention getting bombs and toy guns, you will be sentenced to prison. Even if he wanted to buy these weapons, he had no place to buy them.
Seeing the words "flammable and explosive" at this moment, Xu Tong's heart moved. He led the fat man forward and motioned to the fat man to start opening the box.
This kind of trivial matter is not a problem for the fat man at all. The slender tentacles are attached to the box, and with a slight twist and pull, a "click-click!" sound is heard, and the sealed wooden box outside the box suddenly becomes
Torn apart.
Following the fat man's movements several times, it was as easy as breaking off corns, and the outer layer of the wooden box was completely removed.
After removing the outer wooden box, there is still a layer of black boxes inside.
There was a big lock hanging on the box, but how could this thing stop him? He didn't even need to take action, he just slashed through it with his knife and broke the lock of the box.
With curiosity and expectation, he placed his hands lightly on the box, slowly opened the box and took a closer look.
Suddenly the smile on Xu Tong's face froze.
Even he didn't expect to see such a thing in such a place. His eyes were blank for a moment, he closed the box again, looked at the sign on the ground that said "flammable and explosive", and thought to himself.
: "It is indeed flammable and explosive!!"
Who would have thought that in such a gorgeous building warehouse, there would be such a box of imported inflatable girlfriends? Is it planned to give employees benefits during the New Year?
Just when he was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly turned around and looked sideways at the fat man behind him, and then looked at those inflatable girlfriends...
"Huh??"
Not sure what he was thinking of, Xu Tong tilted his head and looked at Big Fat, his eyes gradually narrowed into a gap, and tentatively asked: "Fatty... do you want to work overtime?"
"Wow~~"
The large package of potato chips suddenly fell to the floor. When he heard the word "overtime", his fat eyes began to flash red...
at the same time.
The sun on the street outside the building is no longer as fierce as it was at noon.
But it was still unbearably hot.
"Hurry, there is no one!!"
A group of people, holding steel pipes and kitchen knives, carefully poked their heads out of the grass.
After confirming that there were no infected people on the street, they crawled out of the grass and walked quickly along the street.
They were survivors in a nearby community. They were lucky enough to avoid going out during the first wave of the virus outbreak, thus escaping the most chaotic period.
Relying on the little food left at home, I suffered from hunger until today, and I discovered that these infected people seem to hate the sun.
Especially at noon in this season, it won’t come out at all.
In addition, they usually surf the Internet in the middle of the night, and they have already developed a skill that allows them to escape from the school easily.
"Old Li! The world is over, what should we do next??"
The man walking in front was talking as he walked. The middle-aged man in the lead had exaggerated green hair and a killer look. When he heard this, he said with a nonchalant expression: "It's over when it's over. I wish he was over."
Woolen cloth."
"But... I want to go home! I miss my mother..."
When someone mentioned this, other people's eyes couldn't hold tight. Even Lao Li, who was walking in front, had red eyes, but he didn't dare to cry. He knew that this was not the time to cry. He had to find a place before dark.
A safe haven.
Just when he was about to speak, a baby's cry suddenly came.
"child??"
They were startled, how could there be a baby crying at this time? They looked up in confusion, and Xiao Ming, who was suddenly following behind, saw at a glance, under the shade of the postal building, a woman covered in black clothes.
The woman wore a black top hat and a lace dress, and was sitting there with a baby in her arms.
"It's a survivor!!"
Their eyes lit up, and they finally saw a living person. They hurriedly ran in the direction of the woman, wanting to ask her if she wanted to go with them.
"Hey, what if it's..." A student was following behind. He hesitated, took their arms and whispered: "What if it's those monsters??"
"Monster? If it were a monster, the baby would have been chewed clean long ago."
Lao Li waved his hand disapprovingly, and others agreed upon hearing this.
"Big sister, why are you sitting here? Do you want to come with me?"
Lao Li stepped forward and shouted.
The woman was stunned for a moment, raised her head, her pale face highlighted her scarlet lips, smiled, and shook her head: "My child is hungry."
"Oh, but we..."
Lao Li touched his pocket. There was a piece of ham in his pocket, but he hesitated and still didn't take it out. He could only smile bitterly and said: "Sorry, we don't have much food. Why don't you come with us first?"
The woman shook her head and looked at the baby crying harder in her arms. She looked at Lao Li and others, and the smile on her lips became more charming: "No, aren't you just the food delivered to your door?"
Old Li was startled. Before he could understand what the woman meant, he saw the woman suddenly raised her hand and pierced his head with a sharp nail...
