It was a small rustling sound, like the slight noise made by rats searching for food in the sewer!
But appearing in this endless dark and silent ruins seems extremely abrupt!
Steven made a gesture to Kate, and the two of them immediately slowly approached a granite pillar and stood still behind it.
At this time, Steven heard that the sound was coming from outside the doorway opposite when they first entered the room. Judging from the layout they discovered after searching on the upper floor, there should also be a corridor outside that doorway.
The room on this floor was still very large, so the hole where the sound came from was dozens of meters away from their position. Although they stood still, in Steven's perception the sound was slowly approaching their position.
Soon a feeling appeared in Steven's mind: something was approaching them dozens of meters away. He stuck his head out of the stone pillar and looked at the doorway in the distance.
After a few seconds, a figure appeared in the darkness beside the doorway: it was a shambling humanoid monster, with skin like dry bark, and part of its face was fleshless, exposing yellow cheekbones.
Two sharp fangs stick out from half of the lips. There is no nose except for two holes on the face. The cloudy eyes without eyelids are exposed to the air. The hand holding the door opening has long sharp teeth.
claw.
The monster stumbled into the room, then raised its head and sniffed the air. Then it turned in the direction of the two of them, accelerated its walking speed, and staggered directly towards the stone pillar where the two were hiding. At the same time,
It made a hoarse and low roar!
This trembling sound tore through the air and spread around! Later, a continuous roar came from outside the doorway where it just appeared! I don’t know how many such monsters were rushing towards the doorway just now!
Steven and Kate quickly retreated toward the doorway they came in from, pulling out their machetes and hand axes at the same time. Kate handed the torch she held in her right hand to her left hand, and freed her right hand to pull out the machete on her back.
At this time, they had exited the doorway and entered the corridor, and the zombie had already run to a position only a few meters away from the doorway. Countless black bodies were pouring out of the hole where it had just appeared!
The ear-piercing roar rushed towards the doorway where the two of them were!
Steven shouted without looking back: "Kate, go to the stairs, I'll block them!"
Kate immediately turned around and ran towards the stairs. At this time, the zombie at the front had already come to the doorway and rushed towards Steven!
Steven stepped aside and swung the machete in his right hand from left to right, and the zombie's head flew into the doorway again. At the same time, a stream of asphalt-like black pus emerged from its broken neck, and there was a foul smell.
It spread immediately.
Steven pushed its still body into the doorway, and the body flew into the doorway and knocked over several zombies that were rushing out!
Steven took another step forward, swung the knife with his right hand and chopped off the head of a zombie. At the same time, the hand ax in his left hand stretched forward to resist another zombie that was rushing towards him. Its claws were dozens of feet away from Steven's head.
I was grabbing at a centimeter-centimeter position, but I couldn't touch Steven.
At this time, Steven swung the machete in his free right hand and chopped off the zombie's head again. In the blink of an eye, Steven killed several zombies that rushed towards him!
Every time it kills a zombie, it pushes their corpse into the doorway. Steven is going to hold on for a while, and then retreat in the direction of Kate. His plan is to kill a few more zombies at the door, so that the zombie's torso is slightly blocked.
Stay in the doorway to create some obstacles for the groups of corpses that will attack later, making it easier for them to retreat.
But at this time, Kate encountered trouble. When he was about to run to the stairs, he was blocked in the aisle by dozens of zombies rushing from the other direction!
It turns out that the stairs they just came down are connected to two walkways, one is to the left when they come down, and the other is to the right. These zombies rushing over came in from the right walkway!
Kate shouted: "Steven!" At this time, Steven had discovered the situation on Kate's side, and he had to retreat in the direction of Kate.
The corpses that fell at the door created some obstacles for the following corpses. Steven had already rushed to a few meters behind Kate. At this time, Kate had already raised her foot and kicked a zombie in the chest to stop it.
Coming down, Kate cut off its head with a swipe of the machete in her right hand.
But he also faced attacks from several zombies waving their claws at the same time, and had to step back a little to get out of the way of the zombies' claws. At this time, Steven had already come to his side, and he also held the front end of his hand ax against it.
A zombie and then chopped off its head with a knife.
Steven shouted at the same time: "I'm in front, you're behind!" After saying that, it rushed in front of Kate, flew up and kicked the chest of a zombie in front of Kate, kicking the zombie away, and at the same time
Knocked over the ones behind.
They knew they had to rush to the stairs as soon as possible to get out of this dangerous situation of being flanked from both sides!
At this time, Kate had turned behind Steven. She turned her back to Steven's direction and followed Steven to retreat. The group of corpses in the doorway just now had already rushed out of the doorway!
However, the corpses on the ground created some obstacles for them. Several zombies tripped to the ground. They fell to the ground and created obstacles for the following zombies. There were far fewer zombies who could avoid the obstacles and rush over.
The two of them had already leaned against the right wall and moved a few meters toward the stairs. Steven needed to focus on dealing with the zombies on the left and in front, leaving Kate to deal with the zombies behind and on the left.
Kate holds the torch in his hand high. He must keep the torch from extinguishing, otherwise the two of them will be in extreme danger!
After every time Steven killed a zombie, he pushed the corpse to the left and rear to create some obstacles for the zombies coming up from behind.
He first used the hand ax in his left hand to resist the attacking zombie, then cut off the head with the machete in his right hand, and then pushed the headless zombie to the rear left.
Fortunately, these zombies died immediately after their heads were cut off, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome, but the asphalt-like pus coming out of the broken necks gave off a foul smell, and soon the two of them were covered with it.
Pus, some even splashed on their heads!
But now they don't care about this at all. They only know to kill the corpses blocking the way in front of them and rush to the stairs as soon as possible!
After a few minutes of long fighting, they arrived at the stairs.
At this time, zombies were still rushing out from the direction behind them and from the direction of the aisle to the right of the stairs. The corpses behind them stumbled from time to time because of the corpses on the ground, adding many obstacles to the dense group of corpses behind them, making it difficult for those who could approach them.
There are not many zombies.
But the group of corpses rushing towards the right side of the stairs was very dense. When they came to the top of the stairs, Steven didn't care about conserving his strength. He leaned forward and sprinted forward as fast as he could, using all his strength to push away the corpse at the top of the stairs.
The dozen or so zombies then stood up straight, slashed off the head of the first zombie with a knife, and kicked it forward. After they stepped back, Steven couldn't help but gasp!
Fortunately, there are no zombies at the top of the stairs, and the zombies behind on the left are still a few meters away.
Kate rushed up the stairs after slashing off the head of the nearest zombie with a knife, and Steven followed suit.
At this time, the situation of the two of them was much better! They were no longer caught on both sides.
At this time, Steven felt that the fatigue after the outbreak had completely subsided, and his state returned to the time when he was in the corridor. They held the stairs and stepped back while kicking down the zombies that climbed up.
The swarm of corpses created a huge obstacle, allowing them to easily retreat to the level above.
After reaching the upper level, Steven shouted: "Kate, you go up through the vent first, I'll come right after!"
Kate nodded and hurried towards the vent where they came from.
After Steven kicked away more than a dozen zombies climbing up the stairs, he heard Kate shout and knew that he had successfully climbed up to the vent.
After decapitating the zombie in front of him, he cut off its arms, took it in his hand, kicked the corpse out, turned around and quickly approached the vent, inserted the machete on the way, picked up the torch that Kate had placed on the ground, and cut the zombie
After throwing his arms and torch into the vent, he rushed forward and stepped on the wall, grabbed the lower edge of the vent with both hands, turned his arms into the vent with force, and put away the rope smoothly.
At this time, the zombies had just climbed up the stairs. After they came up, they lost the smell of their target and became confused, no longer as crazy as before.
