Once something unusual happens, it is best to react immediately.
Shen Qiu looked back at the people who were rescued, looked at their tired, panicked and frightened faces, and fell into deep thought.
…
Time goes by.
Shen Qiu and the others remained silent, and the entire sewage pipe was quiet.
Only a few drops of sewage and low sounds occasionally.
I don’t know how long I waited.
Ding~
A low bell rang, and Shen Qiu and others all pricked up their ears.
They listened carefully, fearing that they had heard it wrong.
After listening repeatedly, it can be basically confirmed that it was the bell ringing.
"Great, the bell finally rang and we made it through."
Yun Xiaoxi's tense expression relaxed, and she said to Shen Qiu with some relief.
"You guys wait here for me. If you can hear the bell here, it means there is an exit nearby. I'll go find it."
Shen Qiu gave Yun Xiaoxi some instructions and then turned and left.
He fumbled around the pipes and soon found a sewage outlet.
Shen Qiu crawled out, climbed up the sewage ditch, and looked forward.
Facing you is a wide street and a row of retro residential buildings.
After a careful observation, I didn't see any deformed residents. If nothing unexpected happened, those monsters should have returned to the house.
In addition, Shen Qiu looked around and into the distance, but he could no longer see the cathedral.
It should be safe.
So Shen Qiu turned around and returned to the sewage channel.
A moment later, Shen Qiu came out with Yun Xiaoxi and others. He lowered his voice to remind everyone.
"Don't talk unless necessary, keep quiet! And don't run around on your own, follow us!"
Everyone nodded vigorously. They now completely regarded Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi as their spiritual support.
"Shen Qiu, let's find a house. It's still a while before dark, and it will be too conspicuous to take them running around everywhere."
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and suggested.
"Okay, find an independent, relatively spacious house."
Shen Qiu thought about it and replied in agreement.
So they led everyone to climb up the sewage ditch, cross the street, and walk along the alley into the residential area.
"Give me the backpack."
As they walked, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly took off her backpack and handed it to Shen Qiu!
Shen Qiu looked at the backpack and asked in confusion.
"Why did you go and pick up this backpack? The situation was so critical. You could have died."
"I was afraid that after we ran away, we wouldn't know how long it would take to find the overlapping exit. If we didn't have any food or drink, we wouldn't be able to hold out for long, so I took the risk to pick it up. But I didn't expect that it would almost cost both of our lives. Sorry!"
Yun Xiaoxi said very apologetically.
"It's okay. I understand."
Shen Qiu took the backpack and put it on his back and continued walking forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, they saw an independent villa. It was very large, had three floors, and had front and back yards.
"You stay in the yard. Don't come in without my notice."
After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he opened the door and walked in.
The decoration on the first floor is quite nice, with a lot of high-end wooden furniture. There are also some strange decorations hanging on the walls, such as mechanical clocks, deer heads, etc.
It can be seen that this is a relatively wealthy upper-class house.
"There's a room on the first floor!"
Yun Xiaoxi also walked in at this time. She looked around and reminded.
"Go in and take a look!"
Shen Qiu replied with surprise, and then he walked towards the room.
This room is just off the stairs and is kind of like a servant's room.
He gently pushed the door open and saw an old gray coffin there.
"Give me the dagger."
Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi.
Yun Xiaoxi then handed the military dagger to Shen Qiu and gave him instructions.
"Be careful."
Shen Qiu gently pushed open the coffin lid and saw a shriveled woman in a maid outfit lying inside.
Before Shen Qiu could make a move, the maid opened her eyes instantly and stretched out her hands towards Shen Qiu's neck, as if she wanted to strangle him to death, with an extremely cruel expression.
Shen Qiu also acted quickly, holding down her head, and lightning flashed!
Zizz!
Suddenly the maid's whole body twitched, and then Shen Qiu held the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it into his heart.
Black blood seeped out directly.
The maid's body trembled violently, and finally she became stiff and dead.
"There are probably quite a few coffins in this house. Let's clean them up separately. Also, be careful when cleaning them up. These guys don't seem to be sleeping very soundly."
Shen Qiu thought for a while and reminded.
"good!"
Yun Xiaoxi agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi cleared all hidden dangers in the building and killed a total of six mutated residents.
Everyone took refuge in the living room on the third floor of the house.
"We will stay here for the time being, and start looking for overlapping exits when it gets dark."
Shen Qiu sat down against the wall, closed his eyes and rested, trying to reduce physical energy consumption as much as possible. Who knows how long he will stay in this place.
Everyone in the room numbly followed Shen Qiu's instructions and sat down.
Some people were in the corner, wiping away tears silently.
Yun Xiaoxi walked to the edge of the window next to her and stared outside.
Soon time passed in silence and the sky gradually darkened.
Shen Qiu estimated and felt that the time was ripe, so he climbed up.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qiu, and their originally numb expressions suddenly became tense.
Some people came over subconsciously.
"You continue to hide here. You should be safe until the bell rings. Yun Xiaoxi and I will go find the overlapping exit. Of course, don't worry, we won't run too far. After all, if we are too far away, even if we find it, we won't be able to inform you in time."
Seeing that everyone looked nervous, Shen Qiu spoke to comfort them.
"that… "
…
All the people who were rescued at the scene seemed to be hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but unable to open their mouths.
At this time, the little boy looked at Shen Qiu with expectation and spoke.
"Big brother, you will come back, right? You won't ignore us, right?"
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned when he heard the little boy's words, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
To be honest, he hadn't really thought about this issue, but asking him to make a promise was not in line with his principles.
After all, Shen Qiu’s principles are very simple. He is only responsible to his friends and people with whom he has connections.
However, the way everyone looked at Shen Qiu was full of expectation, which made him a little embarrassed.
At this time Yun Xiaoxi walked in front of Shen Qiu and spoke.
"Don't worry, everyone. I, Yun Xiaoxi, promise here that even if I find an exit, I will never abandon you and escape alone. You can stay here without worry."
When everyone heard Yun Xiaoxi's words, they were very moved and nodded in response.
"Thanks!"
"I'll leave it to you."
…
Shen Qiu glanced at Yun Xiaoxi, and his impression of her improved. Yun Xiaoxi not only helped him out, but also kept her promise without involving him.
