The door panel of the passage is a very thick fire door, and ordinary people cannot break through it at all.
But Brother Jie didn't intend to let them go just like that.
Through the door panel, Ji Thrush and the others could hear the other party cursing and kicking and kicking at the other end, and there was a great momentum of not giving up until they were smashed to pieces.
Mo Tiangen looked around, looking for something to block the door, but unfortunately, the management of this Wal-Mart is really good, there is not even a trash can in the stairwell, not to mention sundries.
Teacher Dagen turned around resolutely, and separated the two people who were still hugging each other, pushing and pulling to signal them not to waste time, it's important to run away quickly.
So the three of them went straight downstairs to the underground parking lot on the second floor.
Most of the parking spaces in the huge parking lot were empty, only a dozen or so cars were parked sporadically. All the doors and windows were locked, and the doors could not be opened at all. Moreover, they did not have keys, so even if they broke in, they could not start the car.
Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and they found a small truck near the freight elevator.
The small truck seemed to be loading and unloading, the rear door was only ajar, and there were several boxes piled up in front of it, the driver's door was not locked, and the key was hung on a small hook above the driver's seat.
Mo Tiangen and Ji Thrush were overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged Ren Jianmo up.
As the only person in the trio who seemed to be able to drive, Mr. Dagen sat in the driver's seat without hesitation, took off the key and pressed the automatic ignition device.
The van, however, did not respond.
Mo Tiangen cursed in a hoarse voice: "Damn!"
Then he turned to Ji Thrush and said, "The battery in the car is gone!"
He was really pissed off, how could there be such a weird thing - did someone get out of the car without locking the door or taking the key, but pulled out the battery!
Ji Thrush was briefly stunned for two seconds.
His first reaction was to just get a battery from another car, but he looked away and soon saw a better solution.
"Look over there!"
Ji Thrush pointed to a corner of the parking lot and shouted, "There's a battery station!"
More than half of the cars on the road today do not burn gasoline, but switch to electric energy, and car batteries are also divided into several general-purpose unified models according to the model.
When the car runs out of power outside, if you have enough time, you can plug in the charging pile, and it will take ten to twenty minutes to fully charge it. If you are in a hurry to continue on the road, you can buy a recyclable rechargeable battery at the battery station and replace it. can continue to open.
Ji Thrush jumped out of the car first and ran straight to the battery station.
The battery station looks a lot like a vending machine.
Ji Xiaoniao glanced at the panel quickly, and saw a red label on a blue background with the words "Please insert coins" printed on it, followed by a rightward arrow pointing to a coin-operated label. hole, and a gold coin pattern is printed at the bottom of the label.
He opened his eyes wide.
Because the pattern on the gold coin printed on the label is a peach blossom, which is exactly the same as the gold coin he picked up at the entrance of the supermarket.
He reached into his pocket.
Unexpectedly, after the struggle just now, the gold coin has not fallen out, and it is still lying in his pocket right now.
Ji Thrush took out the gold coin, stuffed it directly into the coin slot without even thinking about it, and then pressed the battery sales button "suitable for minivans and buses" below.
With a "click", the flap of the delivery port opened, and something rolled down.
Ji Thrush hastily bent down to pick it up.
"what?"
He blinked, dazed.
The thing in his hand was a flat piece, about the size of a business card case. It didn't look like a car battery, but more like a power bank.
"Student Ji Xiaoniao, I said, are you stupid!!"
Teacher Dagen, who was a step behind Ji Thrush, watched the whole process from the sidelines after the kid tossed a coin into a power bank, and came to such a conclusion in a hoarse voice.
He stopped talking nonsense, pushed him away, picked up the fire extinguisher on the side, and smashed the glass of the cabinet wall of the battery station, and took out two brand new batteries from it.
They go back to the van.
Mo Tiangen had just installed the new battery, turned around suddenly, and saw Brother Jie rushing out of the stairs with a fire ax in his hand, looked around, and soon noticed them, grinning grinningly , raised his ax and ran towards them.
"Damn it!!"
Teacher Dagen's expression changed drastically, and he hurried into the driver's seat.
He started the car with trembling hands, shouted "Sit down!", and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, driving the truck out of the F4 formula effect, drifting around a corner, knocking over a dozen ice cream cones into the air, and then breaking them With the exit lever, he drove out of the Wal-Mart parking lot.
&&& &&& &&&
After leaving Wal-Mart, it was almost completely dark outside.
But the strange thing is that the red clouds like the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky have not faded, at least it makes the street not look so completely dark.
Mo Tiangen didn't dare to turn on the lights casually, for fear of attracting some small things that tend to light and causing them trouble, so he could only drive the car not much faster than walking, moving slowly and slowly on the road.
Naturally, you can't drive very far in this way.
After discussion, everyone decided to settle down in a fast hotel one street away.
They felt that even if Brother Jie wanted to kill them again, he would definitely not dare to wander around in the dark city at night, and the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Brother Jie would never have thought that they would dare to hide in Wal-Mart nearby.
As long as they get through tonight, hit the road at first light tomorrow morning, and leave the city, everything will be fine.
As for the ruts on the road from the parking lot to the Express Inn, the falling ash would take care of it for them.
About ten minutes later, the car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the express hotel.
They parked the car and went upstairs in the dark with only the light of the flashlight.
"Hey."
While climbing the stairs, Ji Thrush thought of one thing: "Do you think there are those little red lizards here?"
Mo Tiangen also felt that this problem was very serious.
Just less than half an hour ago, he watched that office worker was bitten to the neck by a lizard, and then his flesh and blood melted away, leaving only a bone in his body—Mr. Dagen didn’t want any of them to repeat the same mistakes and die so horribly And useless.
"this… "
He thought for a while, "Let's find a smaller room, then remove all the furniture in it, and then block all the cracks in the door."
Ji Thrush also thinks this method is feasible.
Although it is uncomfortable to sleep on a hard floor for a night, at least life safety can be guaranteed.
When talking, they have come to the lobby on the first floor.
"Look!"
Ji Thrush grabbed Ren Jianmo, then patted Mo Tiangen on the shoulder, raised his phone and shook it to a corridor on the right, "There are a few shops over there."
In the fight with Brother Jie just now, they lost the mountaineering bag and the supplies inside. Except for Ji Thrush who was still carrying his precious bow bag, the three of them were empty-handed and free-spirited.
Mo Tiangen laughed immediately, as if gearing up.
"Your big brother's favorite thing to do is to sweep the store."
After finishing speaking, he smashed open the glass door of the convenience store familiarly.
Ji Thrush expressed his astonishment at Teacher Mo's unethical approach as if a devil had entered the village, and was delighted to hear it, so he quickly followed in.
Now that the lighting is insufficient and they are afraid of encountering lizards, they are more careful than before.
Ji Thrush packed some food, water, and daily necessities, and thought it was almost done. When he looked back, he saw Mo Tiangen standing in front of a souvenir shelf and took down two bottles of wine.
"Hey!"
He complained speechlessly: "When is this, you old man is still in the mood to drink?"
Teacher Dagen didn't answer, but quickly put two bottles of wine into the bag.
After sweeping the supermarket, Ji Thrush and others went up to the second floor, found a single room at the end of the corridor, and decided to stay here tonight.
"Don't be too busy."
Seeing Ji Thrush opened the door to clean the room, Mo Tiangen reached out to stop him.
"Let's try this thing first."
As he spoke, he smiled and took out the two bottles of wine he had just brought in from his bag.
Ji Thrush held up his mobile phone, looked over and found that the label on the bottle said "Pugen Realgar Wine".
Ji Xiaoniao: "???"
"You idiot, a kid who plays sports just doesn't have enough cultural knowledge!"
Teacher Dagen showed a look of resentment, "You know the Dragon Boat Festival? The ancients used to burn wormwood and drink realgar wine on this day to avoid the five poisons. You should know this!"
"..."
Ji. The sports student who was bombarded by the map for no reason. Uneducated. Thrush: "So?"
"So, the gecko is also among the five poisons!"
Teacher Mo continued to explain: "That kind of lizard is the same kind as the gecko. They are reptiles anyway, so they should be afraid of realgar too!"
Ji Thrush is suspicious: "Really?"
"Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, so it's okay to try!"
Teacher Mo shrugged, and took out an aroma burner, a few small candles, and a lighter from his bag as if by magic, which he had just picked up in the souvenir cabinet of the supermarket, and squatted in the corridor, on the spot. Assembled a simple fumigator, poured a full amount of realgar wine, and carefully pushed it into the room.
Not long after, the realgar wine on the flame began to boil, and the steam with strong alcohol and realgar smell quickly overwhelmed the faint sulfur smell that had been permeating the room.
They waited a while longer.
Suddenly, in the circle of light reflected by Ji Thrush's mobile phone flashlight, there was a flash of red light—it was a small lizard, which came out from behind the small cabinet by the door, and twisted its body to escape out the door.
Ji Thrush quickly picked up a bottle of mineral water, threw it on the ground, hit the target, and smashed it into a pulp on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the second small lizard also crawled out along the door frame.
Mo Tiangen immediately ended his weak and helpless life with a plastic slipper.
And just like that, they steamed the three-tailed lizard out of the room.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, until the realgar wine on the fumigator had boiled dry and the smell of realgar in the room was so strong that even people could hardly bear it, they finally felt relieved.
"Look!"
Mo Tiangen proudly raised his chin to Ji Thrush.
His voice was still a little hoarse, but his tone was complacent, "I just said this method will definitely work!"
Ji Thrush said emotionally perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you can do it, Brother Dagen, you are really good at it!"
Afterwards, Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen began to remove the furniture in the room.
They had no intention of letting Ren Jianmo do this kind of heavy physical work.
After all, just looking at Ren Damei's miserable pale complexion, and the appearance of coughing so hard to breathe after running a few steps, it is estimated that moving a cabinet will directly collapse on the ground.
There were not many things in the room of this cheap and fast hotel. The two of them worked hard for a while, and quickly emptied the whole room.
They returned to the empty room, closed the doors and windows, and taped some small gaps to prevent lizards from slipping in from outside in the middle of the night, and finally felt that they could breathe.
It's just that Ji Thrush and the others didn't know it at this time, and it was a little too early for him to feel relieved.
Because, the most dangerous long night in this city has just begun at this moment.
