Guangsha Pavilion is the largest shopping mall in Qingyang City.
With the Industrial Revolution and the substantial progress in production and construction technology, huge buildings were built one after another. People were surprised to find that the shops that originally filled the entire street could actually be placed in one building.
As a result, the first department stores appeared.
And Guangsha Pavilion is such a place.
The seven-story building covers a vast area, with carved beams and painted columns, and is magnificent. The reinforced concrete building is decorated with vermilion paint and layers of glazed tiles. It has both classical and post-modern aesthetics, and is a symbol full of oriental charm.
sexual architecture.
This building is not far from the West City Gate, and you can reach it by walking along the West Main Road for more than 100 meters.
When Zhang Lang came to Qingyang City before, he would always go to Guangsha Pavilion to bring some small gifts to Xiaoya. At first they were small jewelry, but later Xiaoya hinted to him that she couldn't describe Zhang Lang's aesthetics, so later, it was
Changed to rare snacks that can’t be bought in town...
Looking at this familiar building that he had visited several times, Zhang Lang seemed to have returned to that bustling and noisy era.
In the past, Guangsha Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with red coats and green coats, and was crowded with customers all year round. However, now, this huge building has been covered with huge spider webs and looks dilapidated and dirty.
This is where the survivors once lived. Although he knew that there was little hope that they were still alive, Zhang Lang decided to go in and find out.
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that there is still a human being alive, it is a great comfort to him!
Zhang Lang held Huxiao tightly and walked slowly into Guangsha Pavilion.
The lobby on the first floor should have been a vegetable market before, with all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, meat and eggs, snacks and snacks. Of course, if you feel that the first floor is too dirty and noisy, you can go straight to the second floor from the buildings on both sides of the entrance.
, to see the products on other levels.
Zhang Lang walked lightly and walked around the first floor.
The fruits, vegetables and meat here have basically disappeared. Various stalls were turned over and overturned. Zhang Lang guessed that they were not eaten by the previous survivors... at least not all of them.
Because the number of survivors should be very small, most of these fresh ingredients will rot before they are eaten up. In all likelihood, they were eaten by various monsters that invaded here...
When we came to the snack area, the melon seeds, halva, dried fruit preserves and the like that were sealed with oil paper were also swept away, and the stalls were relatively neat. In all likelihood, they were the work of survivors.
In the last days when production has stagnated, this kind of easy-to-preserve food is even more important.
There is nothing found on the first floor. It seems logical that if you want to survive in the apocalypse, you must either dig a hole in the ground or find a higher point. In short, you have to find a relatively hidden and easy-to-defend place. This kind of hall with doors on all sides, anyone can come in and walk around twice. It is really not easy.
Suitable for refuge.
The elevator must have been out of use. Zhang Lang came to a side door and climbed up the stairs on both sides. When he reached the turning platform, the road was blocked by various debris.
Zhang Lang walked around in a circle, and every door and every staircase was like this. It seemed that starting from the second floor was the area where the survivors could move.
Zhang Lang remembered that each floor of Guangsha Pavilion sells different products. The first floor is for various ingredients, the second floor mainly sells various daily commodities, the third floor is for clothing, shoes and hats, and the fourth floor is for restaurants.
The fifth floor is for high-end clothes, such as furs, silks, and some time-honored luxury shoes and hats, which are more upscale than the third floor. On the sixth floor, there are all kinds of jewelry. Usually rich people will buy these two floors.
shopping.
As for the seventh floor, it is not an area open to the public. It is the office area of the boss of Guangsha Pavilion. If you have any problems, you can report them here and specialized staff will handle them.
Because the entire Guangsha Pavilion is shaped like a tower, and the area gets smaller as you go up, so by the seventh floor, the area is less than half that of the first floor. Zhang Lang has never been to it, so he doesn't know what it's like inside.
It was no longer possible to take the stairs to the second floor, so Zhang Lang came outside and lightly jumped up to the second floor.
The elevating racks in this kind of shopping mall are all above six meters, and the platform on the second floor is at least seven or eight meters away from the ground, but for Zhang Lang now, this is only a height he can reach by tiptoeing.
He quietly climbed over the railing on the second floor. The doors and windows here were basically nailed shut with wooden boards and the like from the inside. Zhang Lang raised his foot and kicked open a door, destroying the lock and the wooden boards nailed inside.
.
As the broken wooden door collapsed, a burst of dust poured out from the door. Zhang Lang walked in regardless, making the wooden door creak. When the dust settled, he saw the scene inside through the sunlight coming in from the outside.
Despite Zhang Lang's determination, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Compared to the first floor, this place is truly completely different!
The original shops and stalls are no longer visible, and even the ceiling no longer exists. The entire second floor, third floor, fourth floor, and possibly even the fifth floor, the floors have been destroyed by unknown forces, except for the penetration.
The pillars of the building, the middle part of Guangsha Pavilion, which was originally divided into several floors, have been opened up into a huge space dozens of meters high!
And through the dim light coming through the gaps in the doors and windows on each floor, it can be seen that everywhere here is covered with thick spider webs!
Different from the spider silk spun by small bugs that can be seen everywhere, the spider silk here is at least as thick as wool. When twisted into one thread, it is even thicker than a human thigh! These spider silks of different thicknesses are hung on the six-meter-high ceiling and
The floors are criss-crossed, like a huge three-dimensional maze woven with spider silk! And on the top floor of this maze, you can vaguely see a huge cocoon woven by dense spider webs. It is that thing that occupies the
It was originally supposed to be a space on the sixth and seventh floors.
There, there is a high probability that it is the monster recorded in the diary. That guy regards this place as a nest, sleeping in a cocoon here. I don't know if he is simply resting or preparing to evolve to the next stage.
Has it been completely occupied?
Zhang Lang gritted his teeth. It seemed that the possibility of anyone here was almost non-existent.
Looking at the shocking spider silk, Zhang Lang felt frustrated and didn't pay attention at all. Behind him, a huge monster slowly fell down silently.
Zhang Lang turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, a huge black shadow pounced on him with claws and teeth bared!
That's a spider bigger than a human!
Caught off guard, Zhang Lang was knocked down by the spider. The eight spider legs as thick as human arms tightly imprisoned him. The two fangs, which were as big as bananas, secreted venom and stabbed Zhang Lang in the face!
Snapped!
Zhang Lang stretched out his left hand, clamped the two fangs with the tiger's mouth and the gap between the middle finger and the ring finger. With a flick of his wrist, he actually twisted the two fangs off with a click!
The spider monster trembled in pain. Zhang Lang kicked it with his knee and kicked it away from him!
The big spider fell onto its back, its eight claws fluttering rapidly, and turned itself over. But before it could fight back, there was a bang, and its head and half of its chest exploded in the roar of the tiger's gun.
.
Is this the spider that the guy wrote about in his diary? It seems smaller than expected?
Before Zhang Lang had time to analyze, he suddenly heard rustling noises coming from all directions in the shopping mall. Eyes like red lights lit up from the darkness, and they all looked at Zhang Lang in groups of eight.
This place turns out to be a spider nest! Are these the children of that big spider?
Realizing this, Zhang Lang immediately turned around and rushed towards the door he destroyed! However, several balls of mucus shot out and smeared the door to death! Zhang Lang frowned, raised his hand and turned into a blade, swiping
When he cut it, the layers of spider silk broke, but more of them were wrapped around his hand, sticky and layered, not so easy to destroy!
At this time, five or six big spiders had crawled out of the darkness, rushing towards Zhang Lang along the spider threads extending in all directions!
Zhang Lang rubbed his hands and relied on the ability of the magic hand to get rid of the spider silk on them. He rolled to avoid these big spiders, but at the same time, he also went deep into the mall, and more spiders stared at the red eight.
With only one eye, it surrounded him.
"The rules of hunting for reincarnators are to fight in an environment you are familiar with!"
Zhang Lang squinted his eyes and recounted his experience gained from life and death fights, then shook his head: "But these guys are not reincarnators, and I am not here to hunt... Just let me indulge.
…”
As he spoke, Zhang Lang inserted the huge Tiger Roar revolver into his waist, unloaded the rifle from his back, and with a click, skillfully pulled the bolt to load the gun, his eyes extremely determined.
"Who let you damn beasts eat the last of my compatriots!"
