Everyone followed the sound and looked up.
The Wal-Mart where they are located adopts an open central structure for the sake of lighting. Standing in the lobby, one can see the glass dome on the top of the third floor when looking up.
Now everyone can see that there are many crimson fireballs scattered inside the eggshell-shaped dome glass.
The number of lizards gathered on it was too many. Jie Ge and others couldn't count how many there were. They only made a rough estimate, at least hundreds of them.
If you are not in such a strange city of ashes, and you know how dangerous and deadly those lizards are, the dome is dotted with fire balls, and after the refraction of the accumulated ash, the entire dome is as dazzling as a cloud of fire dyed by the sun, which looks pretty good at first glance Romantic.
It's a pity that no one will appreciate the dazzling crimson color now.
Everyone in the lobby felt nothing but fear.
All of a sudden, the entire lobby fell into a dead silence.
Not only was no one talking, they didn't even dare to take a big breath.
Everyone was afraid that the lizards on the dome would fall one after another in the next second, and one of them would just fall on them.
"Let's... let's get out of here..."
After about half a minute, someone whispered in a trembling voice with a crying voice.
Brother Jie turned his head, gave the girl who spoke a hard look, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the main entrance exit.
Then he found that not only the dome above his head, but even the dusty glass door was covered with lizards that had turned into fireballs.
Because Jie Ge had watched the trailer in advance and got some "spoilers", so in order to prevent the "something" that he thought was the scariest, he specially directed everyone to pull the fence-style iron gates on the glass walls along the street. When it is down, the chain heads are locked with strong iron wire from the inside to ensure that no "person" can break in from the outside.
Originally, he had planned well, to find a safe place with food and drink, and hide if he could. As long as he survived until the progress bar on the watch finished, he would be considered to have survived the third round.
But he should have thought earlier that he would not get his wish easily.
In the "Peach Blossom Spring", there is an experience talk based on the flesh and blood of many "predecessors".
That is, there are no shortcuts in the "world".
The more the participants want to escape the plot, the more they will fall into a desperate situation unconsciously.
In fact, Jie Ge discovered the situation of these people, which is just in response to this experience.
They were now surrounded by a large group of lizards, and it seemed that they could not hide here any longer.
But he had already closed the iron gate for the exit, twisted the iron wire on the lock, and even asked others to block all the exits he could think of with debris for safety reasons. So much so that if you want to go out now, the only way is to tear down the wire and open the door at the risk of being attacked by the lizard.
... But is he really going out
Thinking of the "those things" he saw in the trailer, Brother Jie hesitated again.
... Perhaps, he should stay here
The strong man in blue looked up again and looked at the glass dome covered with fireballs.
After all, those lizards still look quite scary, as long as you are careful not to be bitten, it is much safer than facing "those things" outside in the dark...
"ah!"
Before Brother Jie hesitated to come up with a reason, there was another short exclamation from a girl behind him.
But this time, the girl's voice sounded trembling with surprise: "There is someone! There is someone outside!"
She hurriedly picked up a flashlight from the ground, turned the aperture to the brightest, and projected it towards the glass door separated by the iron gate of the fence, "Someone is here to save us—"
Halfway through the girl's words, the ending sound suddenly got stuck in her throat.
Because, relying on the lighting of the flashlight, everyone could see that there were six figures standing outside the iron gate of the fence.
Those people were tall and short, but at first glance they were all burly - even obese.
Compared with the size of the head, their shoulders are too broad, and judging from the outline of the shoulders, they should be very thick.
It was too dark outside, and the glass was covered with a layer of gray. When the light from the flashlight passed by, the people inside the Wal-Mart could not see the whole picture of the people outside. They could barely make out a face, with exaggerated facial features. Especially a pair of eyes, staring round like a bull's eye, even under the light of the flashlight, they didn't even blink, and the pupils were still yellow-brown.
At this time, one of those people, like a little girl showing off her cuteness, tilted her head to the left.
Seeing "his" actions, everyone in the room gasped.
Because the man's head was turned more than ninety degrees, and his left eye was directly below his left shoulder.
What's even more frightening is that when "he" made this head tilting posture, except for his head, other parts of his body remained motionless, as if his neck was directly folded down, and then immediately returned to its original shape.
But which normal person's cervical vertebra can be twisted to this angle
"... woo..."
In the lobby, someone couldn't stand this weird scene anymore, and couldn't restrain himself from crying.
The girls in the couple group tried their best to shrink their bodies into the arms of their boyfriends, and the two best friends hugged each other tightly, and each could hear the sound of each other's teeth chattering.
At this time, the six "people" who were only separated from them by an iron gate and a glass door moved again.
"They" all took a step towards the direction of the flashlight light source.
It's just that the walking posture of these people is also very awkward.
The two girls in the girlfriends group felt that the way the people outside moved was just like the penguins they saw in the aquarium not long ago.
They couldn't see the movements of the "legs", they just swayed from side to side bluntly and slowly, approaching them with difficulty like tumblers whose mechanisms were stuck.
"This...these people..."
The young man hugged his girlfriend tightly, tried his best to open his eyes, which were swollen from being beaten by Brother Jie, and stared out the door in horror, "This... this... is it still human?"
"Don't make noise!"
Brother Jie shouted: "Don't be afraid, they can't get in!"
Now, he was very glad that he didn't go out. After all, compared with the lizards, these big guys with strange movements outside looked a hundred times more terrifying.
Yes, this is what he saw in the trailer before entering the world.
In that thirty-second preview, most of the time is gray city, flying ash and fiery lava that exists out of nowhere.
There were only a few shots that passed by, allowing him to see a few staggering figures walking in the fly ash.
Those figures, just like what he saw now, had thick shoulders and round waists, clumsy movements, their faces could not be seen clearly in the dim twilight, only a pair of huge yellow-brown bull's eyes were left staring straight ahead.
— that's them!
Jack clenched his fists.
—It must be them!
—The biggest crisis in the city!
While other people were not paying attention, Brother Jie looked down at his watch, and sure enough, he saw that the pointer of the progress bar on the watch had turned from yellow to red.
In other words, they have officially entered the "final chapter", which also means that the most dangerous moment is approaching.
"Don't panic!"
Brother Jie wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and tried to calm down, "That gate is very strong, they can't get in!"
"Then... those people..."
The girl wept and asked, "Those people...what the hell are they?"
Brother Jie clenched his fist hard and answered with a stiff neck, "It's probably a zombie!"
When he watched the trailer, he guessed what those figures wandering in the ashes were.
In Taohuayuan, he is a rookie who has not even broken through the difficulty of getting started, and does not have supernatural powers. There is no powerful organization willing to accept him. Usually, there are only a few newcomers who can talk to him. That's all.
So he didn't have the opportunity to ask more powerful experiencers for advice, so he could only guess wildly by himself, and finally got inspiration from an old movie called "Silent Hill", thinking that what he saw in the trailer should be zombies .
Therefore, he chose a gun as the prop to bring into this world - when dealing with zombies and other humanoid monsters, there is nothing better than a gun.
Thinking of this, Brother Jie gritted his teeth fiercely.
It's all because of the curly-haired baby face who killed thousands of knives, even took out his magazine, which made him fall into the embarrassing situation where he couldn't use his gun!
— But, it doesn't matter...
Brother Jie grinds his back molars hard.
—Although this door is just a fence-like iron gate, it is an alloy mesh structure that is said to be strong enough to withstand small blasts. It is strong enough, and the zombies outside will definitely not be able to get in...
- soon, soon! The progress bar is almost at the end!
- just hold on for a while...
— stay up until dawn at most...
"Ahhh!!!"
Just as Brother Jie was trying his best to cheer himself up, he suddenly heard a panicked scream.
"Up, up!!"
A girl raised her hand tremblingly, pointing in horror at the three-story glass dome.
"There are, also... there are people!!!"
Everyone suddenly looked up.
Sure enough, just as she said, there were seven or eight more figures on the glass dome covered with lizards.
Although the dust on the roof is too thick and the distance is too far, the light of the flashlight can't penetrate at all, and they can only vaguely show the outline, but they can still clearly see that there is indeed "" People", like the few standing outside the house, with small heads and broad shoulders, with strange proportions.
"F*ck!"
Brother Jie almost lost his temper and went crazy.
He never knew that zombies could climb walls!
And before everyone noticed, he quickly and silently climbed to the roof of the three-story building!
In the next second, several "people" gathered outside the door suddenly moved.
"Gah! Gah!!"
Everyone in Wal-Mart heard the sharp bird's cry that pierced their eardrums like a sharp instrument scratching the glass.
Immediately, Brother Jie and the others saw that the figures of the "strong men" outside the door suddenly swelled many times.
Their "faces" split open and turned into two huge wings with a wingspan of more than three meters!
That's not a zombie!
It turned out to be a group of huge owls!
They folded their wings just now, and covered their faces with the two long feathers on the back and sides of their wings, using the patterns on the feathers to simulate the appearance of a human face—this is just a hunting mimicry, in order to make their prey relax their vigilance!
"God, oh my god!"
Before everyone had time to digest this information, several loud and loud glass shattering sounds were already heard above everyone's heads.
Everyone looked up following the sound, only to see a few human-faced owls on the dome also spread their wings, frantically pecking at the eggshell-like glass with their hooked beaks.
The bird's beak was extremely hard and sharp, and after two bites, it nailed a cobweb-shaped crack in the glass!
The author has something to say:
PS. All kinds of big and small monsters in this dungeon have some interesting allusions. When this dungeon is finished, I will talk about the source of inspiration when the author has something to say~
