"Hmm~Wang Ran!" Lin Tao coughed lightly and looked helplessly at Wang Ran, who couldn't help himself. Wang Ran was also startled and realized that his actions seemed unsightly, and his face turned red.
He let go of the two girls and asked awkwardly: "What...what happened?"
"I heard you can go out here?" Lin Tao used his flashlight to shine around. It was crowded with pink little girls. He couldn't see clearly what it looked like. Wang Ran nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes! There is a very thick pipe against the wall. Principal Li had someone remove it before!"
With that said, Wang Ran and Lin Tao squeezed through the crowd towards the corner. The girls spread out to both sides in cooperation, looking at the two of them eagerly, while two dark cast iron pipes emerged from the deepest part of the basement.
It was exposed, extending in an L shape from the wall to the roof. Each one was as thick as Lin Tao's waist. One of them had been violently broken open, and it was spread black like a terrifying beast.
Big mouth!
"Do you know where the pipe leads to?"
Lin Tao stepped on the edge of the half-broken pipe. The cast iron pipe looked like it had been smashed open with a hammer or something like that. The cracked pipe mouth was very uneven, and there was a strong musty smell and moisture.
It is slowly overflowing from inside.
"It turned out that there were several living corpses here, so the pipe has not been open for a long time, probably only more than half a month. I heard that one end is blocked, and the other end can lead to the development zone!" Wang Ran swallowed softly.
Drooling, he seemed to have an inexplicable fear when looking at the dark pipes, and then said: "But Principal Li sent someone out to have a look. As for what is in the development zone, he never told us, he just said that it is more dangerous than the school.
, and even sent people to take turns guarding here and not letting us get close!"
"Someone just climbed out of here!"
Lin Tao frowned and shined a flashlight into the pipe. Although there was still a little water in the pipe, the upper half was still dry. However, the series of wet fingerprints on it showed that someone had just gone out. Lin Tao stuck to the pipe carefully.
After listening for a while, a faint sound of conversation immediately reached his ears.
"Could it be the two people guarding this place?" Wang Ran asked after being stunned.
"There are definitely more than two people, at least ten people, and they are carrying a lot of supplies!" Lin Tao looked carefully with a flashlight again and quickly made a judgment.
"Then what should we do now? Will there be a dead end in the development zone?" Wang Ran rubbed his hands gently, looking very confused.
"There is a gathering place of more than 10,000 people in the development zone, how can it be a dead end!" Lin Tao smiled disdainfully, turned around and looked at the bewildered faces of the girls, he sighed and said: "
Li Shuibao is afraid of losing his three-thirds of an acre of land, so he doesn't tell you about the gathering place outside. However, his approach has indeed saved you. There are man-eating wolves there. The children must have gone there.
Can’t get better!”
"Ten thousand... a gathering place for more than ten thousand people?" Wang Ran looked at Lin Tao in shock, unable to even speak. Lin Tao smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "More people are not necessarily a good thing.
For a strong security agency, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be. But what we have to do now is to wait here honestly for a while. After the living corpses outside disperse a little, I will take you to find a way back.
Inside the building!”
"Then...then we can only stay here for the rest of our lives?" Wang Ran's face was a little dull, as if he was reluctant to stay in school.
"Of course not. After we find a suitable way to take you out, people from our gathering place will come to pick you up!" Lin Tao smiled and patted Wang Ran on the shoulder, then he found a pipe as thick as an arm and sat down.
, after lighting up a cigarette, he looked at the helpless girls in front of him and asked helplessly: "Students, have any... been bitten?"
The flashlight adjusted by Lin Tao to the astigmatism mode did not appear too bright in the basement, but the two girls with blood stains on their clothes were very conspicuous, because none of the girls were stupid and instinctively stayed away from them.
The tall girl stood alone at the front of the crowd. After hearing Lin Tao's words, her face instantly turned pale!
"Come on, come sit next to me!" Lin Tao smiled and waved to the two girls. The girls came over hesitantly, their thin bodies trembling under the horrified gaze of everyone. Both of them were bitten on the arms.
The sharp zombie teeth not only tore their sleeves to pieces, but also chewed up the flesh and blood under the clothes. One timid girl was already crying, while the other one was clenching her teeth and staring at Lin Tao, as if thinking
Get some hope from his face.
"Come! Sit down!" Lin Tao smiled kindly, took the hands of the two girls and sat next to him. The girl who was not crying finally couldn't help but asked tremblingly: "Old...teacher,
Can we still be saved?"
Lin Tao did not answer this cruel question. He just opened the sleeves of the two girls and looked at their wounds. Then he took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and handed them to their hands. He said with a smile: "Chocolate, it's been a long time."
Have you eaten? Eat! You don’t have to be afraid of anything, the teachers and classmates are with you!"
"Woo~"
The girl who had been crying seemed to understand that chocolate was the last meal on the road, and she cried even more fiercely. She didn't even have the strength to catch the chocolate Lin Tao handed over, and she burst into tears, while the girl on Lin Tao's right was about to
She was much calmer. She silently took the chocolate and gently tore open the package. She took a very delicate bite, but her tears still fell while she was eating. She choked with sobs and asked Lin Tao: "Teacher, you...you will kill me."
Us?"
"I believe you don't want to hurt your classmates, right?" Lin Tao answered the girl's question tactfully. The girl nodded slightly and said sadly: "I don't want to become that kind of monster, not at all.
…”
"Well! You won't!" Lin Tao touched the girl's long hair lovingly, and the girl gently swallowed the last bit of chocolate, lay in Lin Tao's arms and cried: "Teacher, let me go in a decent manner.
, don’t let me turn into a sloppy guy!”
"Okay!" Lin Tao nodded lightly, and hugged the almost completely limp girl next to him. For a moment, everyone in the basement seemed to understand what was about to happen, and the girls turned away in pain.
Dare to look again, and as Lin Tao's arms suddenly exerted force, two crisp bones cracking sounds were immediately heard. The two girls lying in Lin Tao's arms twitched heavily, and the arms on Lin Tao's legs
Finally it slowly hung down.
"Alas~"
Lin Tao sighed softly and slowly placed the bodies of the two girls in the corner. Adults often become hysterical about death, but the two girls in front of him could walk away so calmly. Lin Tao
I am deeply gratified and at the same time feel that the world of adults is indeed much more complicated than that of children!
"Give...give me a cigarette!"
Wang Ran, who was sitting against the wall, raised his head in despair. In just a moment, he seemed to be much tired. Lin Tao walked over and took out a cigarette and handed it to him. He sat side by side on the ground with him, and Wang Ran shakily lit the cigarette.
Finally, he took a deep breath, let out a long breath, and then weakly said to Lin Tao: "Brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm actually an incompetent teacher. The reason why I didn't run away will be here."
It’s all because of them that we came down!”
Wang Ran stretched out his arms and gently hugged the shoulders of the two girls next to him. The girl leaning against him fell into his arms without resistance. The two girls were only sixteen or seventeen years old at most. Lin Tao
He smiled helplessly and asked, "Did Li Shuibao force you to do so?"
"No!" Wang Ran shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I feel ashamed to say it. They said that I was a wall-riding sect, and I would fall in any direction. In order to blend in with Li Shuibao and the others, I had no choice but to find them.
Two girls were... being wives. At first, I was really resisting this kind of thing, but in order to survive, I had to do it. But as time went by, I felt like we were dependent on each other. Now I
I would rather die than let them suffer any harm!"
"It's normal. If you don't have a long-term relationship with them, you will be cold-blooded!" Lin Tao nodded slightly, then looked at the time on his wrist and said, "I'll go up and check the situation first!"
Lin Tao stood up and walked to the passage and opened the cover above. A burst of fresh air immediately rushed in, which lifted people's spirits. Lin Tao held up a flashlight and walked up to the first floor. The sound of banging on the door from outside had disappeared.
, that heart-rending roar seems to be far away from here.
Lin Tao put out his flashlight and jumped onto a pipe. He stretched his head and looked out from the high-rise shaking window. There were not too many living corpses on the road outside. There were about seventy or eighty scattered corpses, but only one of them was open.
There was a small door in the swimming pool, but he couldn't see how much was left. Lin Tao frowned slightly, and just as he was about to jump off the pipe, a noisy sound rang out.
"Master, master, where are you..."
The sound came from Lin Tao's waist. Lin Tao took out the walkie-talkie that Yu Qing had given him before and saw that the green light on it was flashing gently. Lin Tao pinched the intercom button and said, "I'm in the pump room now."
, how is the situation over there?"
"Haha~ That's great! I knew you would be fine, master!" Xiao Chao's excited voice came from the intercom, and then he shouted: "Master! There is nothing wrong with us here. Li Shuibao is dead now. Everyone should go to the library.
Here we are, can we get out of the pump room?"
"You should be able to go out, but it's leading to the development zone! Don't wander around tonight for the time being. I'll go to the gathering place in the development zone and come back. Do you understand?" Lin Tao said.
"Yes! Got it, master, be careful!" Xiao Chao replied quickly, but then added: "Master, you should be careful when you go there. There are many liars and thieves there, and they can't deceive them."
Rob, you can't be too high-profile or too low-key, as long as the weapons are not stolen, generally no one will dare to provoke you!"
"Haha~ Does your master still need you to teach me?" Lin Tao smiled happily, and he fell in love with this clever little apprentice even more!
