[The main text is almost finished. Inspired by filling in the gaps, this chapter went quite smoothly]
One side of the branch's glass door had long been broken, and only half of the door on the right was left with sharp glass stubble, shimmering in the night. This was the first time in Lin Sanjiu's life that she was so happy to see the Public Security Bureau, so she hurried
He pushed the door open with his body, yelled at Hu Changzai: "Get in quickly!", and without looking back, he kicked a fallen creature away who was rushing towards him, and his leg was also scratched at the same time.
Wound.
Hu Changzai half-stumbled and rolled into the lobby on the first floor, followed by a sharp buzzer behind him.
"You go find something to block the door, I'll block it for a while!" Lin Sanjiu said, holding an iron rod in his backhand and blocking the door. When Hu Chang knew that this was not the time to be polite, he rushed in dragging his injured leg.
In the room on the first floor, a conference table was soon pulled out.
To be honest, Lin Sanjiu's calves were spinning in the face of the degenerates coming like a tidal wave - seeing Hu Changzai coming back, she quickly knocked away a mouthpart that hit her face, and quickly
He jumped over the half glass door and blocked the entrance with a conference table.
The table under the palm of my hand immediately shook back and forth as the mouthparts hit it "bang bang".
"No, this table won't last long... Let's go upstairs quickly!" Lin Sanjiu shouted. Although he couldn't escape by running upstairs, this was the only way he could go at the moment.
Hu Changzai didn't dare to delay and limped after her up the stairs - just as he reached the second floor, he heard a crash downstairs and the table had been overturned.
The two of them looked at each other and felt their chests tightening.
"Hide in the room?" Hu Changzai lost blood all the way and his face turned frighteningly white. At this time, he really couldn't run anymore: "...Maybe he can escape through the outer wall."
That was all we had to do—Lin Sanjiu nodded and rushed into the corridor first.
The first room in the corridor was a water room without a door; the second room was a department room of the household registration department, but the door was damaged by unknown reasons and was of no use; she glanced around and found that the door of the third room was still intact.
It was half-covered, with a crack exposed. She immediately shouted with joy: "Here!"
He then took a few steps to catch up and pushed the door open.
Two tall degenerates in the room turned their heads at the same time and cast their gaze on her.
For a moment, both of them seemed to be frozen and motionless.
These two depraved species were both male when they were alive, and each was over 1.8 meters tall. They had sucked in countless humans, and their skin and flesh were plump, their muscles were tight, and their mouthparts were so thick that it was shocking. Compared to the vast oceans of similar species outside,
From a distance, they look much more dangerous - at this distance, as long as the mouthpiece is casually drawn, the lives of both of them will be in danger...
However, the next second, the two fallen species turned their heads at the same time, never looking at them again, but staring at each other closely.
Huh?
In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu's back was already soaked with cold sweat. After she calmed down, she realized that the two fallen species in the room were confronting each other in an angry manner, with their eyes refusing to look in their direction.
one time.
Among them was an overturned desk, documents stained black with blood, and... a golden-orange collar. The collar gave off a warm glow on the dirty floor, against the background.
Everything around it was dilapidated and dying, and seemed so out of place.
She immediately understood what it was and why the two fallen species behaved like this. A sharp light flashed through her mind, and then she made a move that shocked Hu Changzai's jaw -
—
"Come in, close the door." Lin Sanjiu stepped into the room in one step and gave him an order without looking back.
Just as the sentence "You're crazy" was about to come out of her tongue, Hu Changzai suddenly found that the two degenerates were still motionless. The room was not big, so when she walked in, she was only a few steps away from the one at the door.
——However, apart from the tense muscles, the fallen species didn't even turn his eyes, and still stared at each other.
"What's on the ground is a 'special item' unique to the New World... It seems that these two fallen species want to take this collar as their own, for fear that the other party will take advantage of it, and they may not be able to care about us at this time.
." Even though Lin Sanjiu is not usually very smart, the more critical the moment, the more resourceful she becomes. At this time, she did not even think about lowering her voice, but instead smiled openly: "You two, let's come in.
Just hide, you won’t do anything. Don’t worry, just keep going!”
She spoke beautifully, but her body was on alert. Clutching the iron rod tightly, Lin Sanjiu looked solemn and walked slowly against the wall to a metal filing cabinet.
The fallen species opposite, who had a tattoo of a descending tiger on his arm, immediately snorted, but still did not move.
At this time, Hu Changzai also saw that Lin Sanjiu had made the right bet. He immediately closed the door and stood beside her cautiously.
"Get out!" The one closer to them couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Sanjiu looked at its motionless back and said softly: "You two, you can also guess that we have no choice but to come in - if we don't come in, we will die outside. If you continue to confront you, I understand.
As long as you make a mistake, your things might be swept away by someone else - if we can each get what we need, I promise not to affect you."
Such courage... If the situation hadn't been inappropriate, Hu Changzai would have wanted to praise her as a heroine.
Lin Sanjiu listened attentively, and there were already sounds of chaotic footsteps in the corridor, as well as the unique "gurgling" sound of the sticky skin of fallen species walking.
The two degenerates facing each other had their eyebrows tightly knitted together.
"The pursuers behind us are coming soon. They are swarming in. It won't be easy for you, right? What should we do now? They are all fallen species. Why don't you tell them that there is no one inside?" Her tone said
He looked a bit rogue, and then raised his chin towards Hu Changzai: "Hey, bandage your leg."
She was confident that these two degenerates would not let such a large group of people from outside rush in.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the door was hit hard by a mouthpart from the outside. Immediately afterwards, the two degenerates in the room made a high-pitched and sharp buzzing sound almost at the same time - there was a faint sound outside the door.
Several calls came. The buzzing continued for several minutes regardless. When the room became quiet again, no sound could be heard outside.
It seems that just like the differences in combat power between evolved ones, there are also hierarchical divisions among fallen species.
"Get out now!" Although he still didn't look back, the tone of the fallen species became much more violent.
"Okay, okay, once my companion's leg is wrapped, we'll leave immediately..." Lin Sanjiu said while squatting down to look at the injury on Hu Changzai's leg. Hu Changzai raised his head gratefully: "
I'm fine, let's go first, this is not a place to stay for a long time."
His tone suddenly slowed down because he found that Lin Sanjiu was silently lip-syncing to him.
"You run first and go downstairs."
She repeated the gesture several times, and finally made him nod doubtfully.
"Okay, your legs are wrapped." She said aloud while helping Hu Changzai. "Thank you for your help, then we can leave."
Naturally, neither of the two fallen species replied, nor even moved their eyes away from each other.
Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and suppressed the nervousness in her heart, as if she was about to walk a tightrope. The expression on her face could only be seen by Hu Changzai beside her, and his heart immediately jumped.
Got up.
After opening the door, there was indeed no fallen species in the corridor outside.
Lin Sanjiu gently pushed Hu Changzai, who immediately understood and ran towards the stairs without any delay.
"Um... I just want to ask out of curiosity." She turned around and felt that her palms were all sweaty. "What did you just do? Why did the other degenerates disappear so quickly?"
A fallen species hissed impatiently. Although it still didn't move, what Lin Sanjiu wanted was not the answer, but the small gap in their mind that showed a flaw——
A card quickly shot into the air. When it reached the top of the collar, it suddenly shot up and then fell heavily.
The collar was hit by this movement and turned into golden-orange light spots all over the sky, which quickly melted into the card. Then before the fallen species could react, the card flew back to Lin Sanjiu's direction. As soon as the card was in hand,
She immediately ran away - she had rehearsed all this in her mind countless times, but she didn't expect to actually get the collar!
