Xin Meng turned back to look at Dong Xiu, only to see that his head was slightly lowered, and his expression was unclear due to the reflection from his lenses. Xin Meng took a deep look at him, turned back to test, "I promise not to let him hurt you, okay ?"
After a long time, until even Xin Meng could hardly hold back her breath, the girl finally moved over step by step, her footsteps as quiet as a ghost, and finally opened the lock from the inside.
At this moment, Dong Xiu, who was behind Xin Meng, suddenly rushed forward, opened the glass door, and was about to hit the girl in the face with his fist. However, Xin Meng seemed to have been prepared and reacted extremely quickly. Quickly, when he passed by, he raised his hand and pushed Dong Xiu hard. He grabbed the girl's arm with the other hand and pulled her behind him. Dong Xiu was pushed in the opposite direction and staggered. No one was hit. Wait. When he came back to his senses, he found that Xin Meng had already protected the girl behind him, and he immediately snorted heavily with an unhappy expression.
"Mr. Dong," Xin Meng was also a little unhappy, "Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as a girl?"
Dong Xiu narrowed his eyes and stared at Xin Meng coldly, but soon showed a strange smile, "I just want to teach her a little lesson, why are you so reactive? I have no intention of doing anything to her. And... you If you think about others, they may not appreciate it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Meng felt a strong force coming from his back, pushing him forward hard. He staggered two steps, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a girl. She seemed unwilling to get too close to others. , but there is a glass door behind, so you can’t retreat, so you can only push others away.
Dong Xiu laughed.
Xin Meng was helpless, "We are all on the same team and have the same goal. We don't need to be intimate, but we need to be harmonious. Only then can we hope to pass the level."
In the end, only Xiong Jiabao nodded cooperatively, while the other two acted as if they hadn't heard.
But the door finally opened. There was a lot of food in the supermarket. Although the fresh fruits, vegetables and meat were too rotten to eat, the food in the packaging bags was enough for them to eat for a long time. Xin Meng wanted to check the shelf life on it. I knew the approximate time, but found that all the bags were empty, and there was no ingredient list. It seemed to be a problem with the game.
The girl was probably not hungry. When she saw them coming in, she hid behind the shelves again, and no one else paid attention to her.
The three of them finished their late breakfast first, and each packed a large bag of food. Xin Meng originally wanted everyone to join him in finding a banner or something to hang on the roof, so that the other two teammates could find this place. Assembled, Dong Xiu glanced at him sideways and sneered, "Forget about the banner. How big must it be so that people from a distance can see the words on it clearly? We don't have such a big cloth in this building."
"Then what should we do?" Xiong Jiabao asked with a sullen face, still stuffing an egg yolk pie in his mouth. He also knew that he was not very smart and could not give any meaningful advice, so he simply asked others directly. "Which of you can do anything?"
Seeing that Xin Meng had no idea at the moment, Dong Xiu raised a corner of his mouth and raised his chin arrogantly, "What does this mean? Remember it. So far, there is no problem that I, Young Master Dong, cannot solve!"
Xiong Jiabao was overjoyed and looked at Dong Xiu with admiration. He almost rushed to hug him, "Do you have any idea?"
Dong Xiu adjusted his glasses. Under his seemingly calm eyes, Zangdu couldn't hide his pride, "That goes without saying."
He patted the dust on his casual pants, sat down on the chair at the checkout counter, and casually adjusted the collar and cuffs of his shirt. His posture did not look like he was in a dark and empty supermarket, but rather like he was sitting in a multinational conglomerate. In the high-end and atmospheric conference room, there is a confident look on his face.
"When I first entered the mall and ran away with a bunch of zombies, I almost saw everything in the mall. There were no banners in this building, but there was a cultural supplies store on the second floor with many colorful spray paint cans. , we can take it and go to the indoor children's playground on the tenth floor, where there are large windows all around, and we can spray words on the glass and see it very clearly from the outside."
"What a great idea!" Xiong Jiabao clapped stupidly. "Brother Dong is mighty!"
Xin Meng: "..."
However, although Dong Xiu's attitude was a bit problematic, this method was indeed good, and Xin Meng had no objections, so Dong Xiu led the way, and the two of them followed honestly up to the second floor. There was indeed a shop on the second floor full of goods. After getting colorful spray paint cans, the three of them took a few bottles each and continued climbing up until they reached the tenth floor, which is the top floor.
The tenth floor is a very open space. Like the lobby on the first floor, there are no rows of shops around it, but it is directly divided into several areas. The larger ones include an ice rink and an indoor amusement park, as well as an open Most of the swimming pools are places where children love to play. The ground is a mess. You can see scattered children's toys of all sizes, as well as shriveled swimming rings and torn children's swimsuits, plus dark brown dried blood. It looks a bit scary, but fortunately, because it is surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling glass, the lighting is quite good. Now the room is bright, which alleviates most of the gloominess.
The three of them discussed it and decided that the written words need to be read clearly from the outside, so the words must be written in a mirror. Xiong Jiabao couldn't write the other way around, so Xin Meng had to teach him step by step. But it became too troublesome later, so he simply asked Xiong Jiabao to do it. He went to rest and wrote it himself.
Also, we have to make sure that each word takes up a whole piece of glass, so that we can’t write too much. In the end, we decided to just write the words “teammate” and “assembly” in a loop, and write them around the entire layer of glass. One circle, visible from any angle, and that's about it.
In fact, it's not difficult, but it's a bit time-consuming. After all, this mall covers a large area and has a lot of glass. Dong Xiu also sat aside and acted like the boss on the grounds that he came up with the idea, and others should work for it, relying solely on Xin Meng himself. By the time everything was done, the sun was about to set.
Throwing away the last empty can, Xin Meng flexed his sore shoulders and arms and took a breath. Xiong Jiabao looked at him and quickly handed him water and bread. Finished dinner.
"It's already dark," Xiong Jiabao gulped down half a bottle of water in one breath, took a deep breath, and said with emotion, "If I hadn't come here, I would have gone to work at this hour."
Xin Meng remembered that he had said that he was a waiter in a bar, but he only worked at night.
"As a result, I can only sleep now," Xiong Jiabao sighed. "Without nightlife, it's really painful."
Dong Xiu sneered from the side, "You can go out for the night, and all the female zombies nearby will rush towards you one after another. You can choose whatever you want. I guarantee you have never seen so many women chasing you in your life."
Xiong Jiabao suddenly trembled when he thought about the zombies covered in pus, minced meat, and exposed bones.
The sky has completely darkened, as if echoing the apocalyptic scene of the dilapidated town. There is no moon or stars in the night sky. It is completely dark. The air is filled with the smell of rotten meat and there is no trace of the noise of human civilization. Not even the chirping of insects or birds was heard, only the heavy footsteps of zombies and the rough breathing of beasts, which were faint, sometimes big and sometimes small, but like maggots on the tarsal bones, making people feel chilly in their hearts.
Xin Meng originally planned to sleep on the first floor, so that if a companion came over, he could be brought in as soon as possible, but Dong Xiu was obviously used to enjoying himself and insisted on sleeping in the bedding area on the fourth floor. There were clean beddings and even a bed for display. He also said that it was too late today and no one could see the words upstairs and no one would come. Seeing his insistence, Xin Meng and the others didn't care and just went downstairs. Suddenly, Xiong Jiabao who was walking behind suddenly screamed, "What is that!"
Xin Meng turned his head and found that there was a faint light flashing on the glass. He and Xiong Jiabao hurried over and looked out through the glass. They saw light spots shaking continuously on the road not far away. Especially conspicuous in the dark night, "Flashlight?!"
The two looked at each other and Xin Meng shook his head, "No, the flashlight doesn't illuminate the tenth floor. It should be an emergency spotlight or something."
Dong Xiu was originally walking first and almost entered the stairwell. When he saw this, he turned back and sneered coldly, "Is this idiot afraid that the zombies can't find him?"
Indeed, even if they were standing on the tenth floor, they could vaguely see many black shadows below slowly approaching the light spot, but the light spot was still shining persistently towards the glass, as if desperately trying to attract their attention. .
Xiong Jiabao was a little anxious, "He hasn't seen Xin Meng's card. He probably doesn't know that light can attract zombies. If he does this, he will be surrounded by zombies. We have to rescue him quickly!"
"Tsk!" Dong Xiu leaned against the glass with his hands folded across his chest, his tone was lukewarm, "It's night outside now, when zombies are most active. This idiot is still holding up a lamp. He is probably surrounded by zombies now. If we try to save him, we will all die."
His refusal was very clear, and Xiong Jiabao didn't understand. "But we are teammates, how can we ignore death? This is too unloyal, isn't it, Xin Meng?"
Xin Meng nodded, but what she was thinking of was the white card, "Let's go out and drive. If we encounter zombies, we'll hit them. Mr. Dong, can you lend us your watermelon knife?"
Seeing Dong Xiu's expression, he was not even willing to do this, but Xiong Jiabao was scowling at him because of his indifference, and Xin Meng was also staring at him closely. He curled his lips, and finally threw the knife away.
Xin Meng took the knife and ran downstairs quickly with Xiong Jiabao. Through the hall, he could see that the Land Rover was still blocking the small door, but there was not even a zombie outside. The situation was unusual. He must have been attracted by the light. , they quickly got into the car, Xin Meng was still driving, and the watermelon knife was placed in Xiong Jiabao's hand.
Xiong Jiabao didn't want to take it at first. He didn't have Dong Xiu's physical skills and mental quality. Even if he knew that the zombie's weak point was the neck, he probably wouldn't be able to cut it. The hand holding the knife was shaking, but he couldn't drive, and Xin Meng had no choice but to hold the knife carefully, fearing that the blade would cut her.
Xin Meng ignored him. He probably noticed the approach of the zombies over there. The light began to waver and went out after a while. He didn't know if something happened. If the person died, then the light in his hand would Card... Thinking of this, Xin Meng stepped on the accelerator, and the Land Rover rushed out like an arrow.
