At this point, everyone also felt that there was no better choice than prying open the door and climbing the elevator shaft.

As soon as they said it, Mo Tiangen and Ji Thrush scratched and pulled, tossing and tossing for several minutes, and finally opened a gap in the elevator door. Mo Tiangen quickly picked up the shovel and stuck the shovel head into the gap.

"I hope the shovel is strong enough."

As he spoke, he used this as a lever, gritted his teeth, and began to pry open the door.

Fortunately, the shovel he got in the cleaning room of the express hotel is really reliable, and Mr. Dagen is really strong.

After a few loud bangs, he actually pried open the old-fashioned elevator door with a high-quality shovel.

He inserted the shovel head into the groove of the elevator door, stuck the door shut, and carefully inserted his head into the elevator shaft.

"Damn it! It's heaven-shattering, heaven-shattering!"

There was obvious excitement in Mo Tiangen's voice.

"I've been unlucky for so long, but this time I'm lucky!"

He pointed to the top of his head, "The elevator car is parked above, we can climb directly to the bottom floor!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, the two girls would almost hug each other and cry.

"So now the question is, who will go down first?"

Mo Tiangen made a downward gesture and pointed to the seemingly bottomless elevator shaft.

This elevator is only used for inspection and maintenance of the air-raid shelter, and for a few days of the year when it is used for exercises, so it is naturally not designed to be very spacious.

The length and width of the four sides of the elevator shaft are only about two meters. There is a narrow vertical ladder on the left wall, which can only accommodate one person. There are two thick fluorescent tubes directly opposite the ladder, which should be connected to the corridor. The emergency indicator light belongs to the same lighting system. Although the light is weak, it can at least allow people to see the situation inside the elevator shaft clearly.

"Brother Big Gen, you go down first!"

Ji Thrush made a decision without hesitation, "I need you to open the door at the bottom first, otherwise we won't be able to get out later!"

When Mo Tiangen heard this, he felt that this was the reason, so he stretched out his hand to grab the ladder without hesitation, and stepped into the elevator shaft with one foot.

The female nurse Zhang Ying was the second, and her best friend Min Qingqing was the third.

Although the two girls were a little afraid of heights, compared to the horror of facing monsters, climbing an elevator shaft was nothing short of child's play.

Next was Ren Jianmo.

Before Ren Damei went down, Ji Thrush specifically checked the other person's physical condition, and finally felt relieved after hearing him say "no problem".

"It's yourself."

Ren Jianmo warned: "Be careful."

After finishing speaking, he shook Ji Thrush's wrist with his cold palm, turned his head and crawled into the dim elevator shaft.

The thrush was the last to go down.

He originally wanted to pull out the shovel that was stuck on the door, but now he was in the elevator shaft, holding on to the edge of the ladder with one hand, and he still couldn't pull out the shovel after only shaking with one hand for a long time.

"Fuck! Ji Xiaoniao, stop making trouble!"

At this time, Mo Tiangen, who was the first to go down, had already climbed more than half, and there were only a few meters left before he could climb to the bottom:

"I can use a key to pry it. Come down quickly, and if you delay any longer, those monsters should come back..."

I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Dagen has a crow’s mouth physique. The good ones basically don’t work, but the bad ones are very accurate every time——Before he finished speaking, Ji Thrush heard a creepy familiar sound coming from the depths of the corridor. whimpering bark.

"Quick, quick, quick! Climb, everyone!"

Ji Thrush's hairs were about to stand on end, while lowering his head to urge the others, while using both hands and feet, he climbed up the ladder and kicked down.

It's a pity that the movements of those dogs and apes were far more agile than those in the elevator shaft.

One of Mo Tiangen's legs had just stepped on the ground, and the first monkey had already jumped in through the open elevator door. There was no need to reach the ladder, and he didn't know what he was grabbing. It rushed towards the thrush's head with wool rolls.

At the critical moment, Captain Xiaoniao's strong nerves trained in competitive competitions for many years saved his life again.

Ji Thrush didn't know why he was so calm.

At that moment, his spirit seemed to enter a state of emptiness and unusual sobriety, which made him completely forget about fear and shrinking.

With his right hand wearing a half-finger glove, he pulled out the pistol from the gun pocket on his waist, lifted it up, and shot steadily at the dog ape that was rushing over.

It was almost an instant from when he drew the gun to pulling the trigger.

Season Thrush didn't even aim at all, and shot entirely by instinct.

The bullet entered the dog ape's body, and the animal let out a mournful cry.

"Ah ah!!"

The two girls in the elevator shaft screamed at the same time.

The hairy monster fell down, brushed past the girls' backs, and fell into the elevator shaft with a "plop", right at Mo Tiangen's feet.

Ji Thrush didn't even have the time to look down.

The second dog ape had already jumped into the elevator shaft, and rushed towards him faster and at a more tricky angle than the first one.

Captain Bird fired another shot without hesitation.

But this time, his bullet missed.

There was a crisp sound of metal colliding on the elevator wall, and a handful of sparks bounced off.

Without even thinking about it, Ji Thrush made up the second and third shots.

The second shot still missed, and the third shot somehow hit the dog and monkey.

It's a pity that he missed the vital point in the hasty shot, and the dog and ape wailed and clung to the wall of the well and escaped.

At this time, Mo Tiangen, who had already descended to the bottom of the elevator shaft, was prying the door profusely.

Without the shovel in hand, Mr. Dagen could only rely on a bunch of keys to forcefully pry and chisel. Finally, a gap was opened, and then he pulled and kicked against the gap with all his strength, until the door was ruined. It was hard to cut out a seam for them to drill through.

"Come down! Come on!"

Mo Tiangen squeezed through the crack of the door, and shouted nervously to everyone in the elevator shaft.

Outside the crack of the door was a corridor about ten meters long, and at the end of the corridor was the gate leading to the air-raid shelter.

As if they knew that the people below had some kind of powerful weapon, the dogs and apes hesitated for a moment and did not dare to approach, they just peeked at the prey below at the entrance.

Ji Thrush didn't dare to hesitate at all, and took advantage of this opportunity to climb down desperately.

At this moment, the two girls had already got out of the elevator shaft one after the other, and Ren Jianmo was almost at the bottom.

-hurry up! hurry up!

Ji thrush desperately encouraged himself.

If he had to climb the ladder, he couldn't hold his gun all the time, so he could only pray that the dogs and apes would have some scruples after losing a companion, and would not dare to attack him before he climbed to the bottom of the well.

Ji Xiaoniao really realized what "a second feels like a year".

He had the illusion that he had climbed sixty floors instead of a six-story ladder.

At the last three meters, Ji Thrush jumped straight down, but when he landed, his left ankle sprained an inch, causing him to cry out in pain.

As if they heard the charge, the three dogs and apes who had been hovering at the entrance of the elevator shaft suddenly moved.

Like three arrows, they quickly shot into the elevator shaft.

These monsters with dog-headed ape bodies can climb much faster than mere humans.

In the blink of an eye, they had jumped up and down for half a distance, and they were about to pounce on the quarter thrush.

Ji Thrush and Ben didn't care about the sprained ankle.

He plunged into the crack of the door that Mr. Da Gen had pried open, and struggled to get out.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his left calf.

A monster had already caught up with him, opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit Ji Thrush's left leg that was still in the elevator shaft and hadn't had time to retract.

It wasn't until this moment that Ji Thrush understood, according to Mr. Dagen's fire monster theory, why such a monster with a dog face and an ape body also appeared in this city of ashes!

—That's because, this girl's saliva is so sour! !

At the same time as he understood this, Ji Thrush felt his legs were on fire, and the pain penetrated into his bone marrow. For a moment, he even felt that his calf was about to melt even the belt and bones.

Before he had time to think about it, Ji Thrush gritted his teeth, pulled out the gun from his waist, and shot at the head of the dog that was biting his leg.

Dog Ape was hit in the head, and belched as soon as he rolled his eyes.

Ji Thrush desperately broke free from the dead dog's fangs, dragged the acid-dissolved leg, and crawled into the corridor.

But his opponent is the dog and ape whose intelligence level is much higher than that of the previous monsters.

They know very well the truth of "taking advantage of his injury and killing him".

It was too late, but at that time, at the moment Ji Thrush rolled into the door, a monster stepped on the bloody corpse of his companion, followed him out of the elevator shaft, and rushed towards Ji Thrush who was wearing a lame leg. past.

Ji Xiaoniao couldn't get up from the ground for a while, and in desperation, he could only fight back instinctively.

He first crossed the bow bag to block the pounce of the dog monkey, then raised the gun and pulled the trigger towards its crooked head.

Just listening to "click", the firing pin made a hollow sound, but no bullet was fired.

"Fuck!"

Ji Thrush's eyes went dark, and he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood.

——It was unlucky to kill Qiandao to kill his whole family, and his gun ran out of bullets at this critical moment!

In the next second, the dog ape opened his bloody mouth, and bit his arm holding the gun with a whimper.

"Ahhh!"

The sharp fangs were embedded in the skin, and the thick acid in the monster's mouth burned his flesh and blood, and the season thrush could smell the pungent sour and burnt smell in the air.

At the moment when the pain was extreme, Ji Thrush felt that every cell in his body seemed to be boiling, and countless small electric currents converged and blended until it became a powerful electric current, which was conducted from the spine to his arm bitten by the dog ape superior.

Hearing the sound of "Zi La", a blue spark shot out from his arm, the monster biting him was hit by the electric current, and flew out with an "ow", fell on the ground on its belly, vomited White foam, limb twitching.

Ji Thrush couldn't understand what happened just now.

There was a bloody hole the size of a bowl on his forearm, and the surrounding flesh showed a yellow-black color after acid erosion, as if being burned by fire every second.

His eyes turned black from the pain, and he was almost about to faint. He clenched his teeth tightly, but with a sense of tenacity that he didn't know where he came from, he used his left hand to pull out the kitchen knife that had been hanging on his waist all the way but never came into use. Inserted into the throat of the twitching monster lying on the ground.

But at this moment, a sharper pain came from his left shoulder.

The last and strongest dog ape bit the thrush's shoulder deeply.

-Ruined…

This bite was so close to the thrush's vitals that the acidic saliva splashed from the monster's mouth burned mottled patches on the side of the boy's neck.

Ji Xiaoniao couldn't hold on anymore.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't even scream, he could only squeeze out a "hehe" sound from his throat, and fell back with his head raised.

A pair of cold and beautiful hands caught him from behind.

Ji Thrush heard Ren Jianmo's deep but clear voice ringing in his ear, only two short words: "Let go!"

The dog ape that bit the thrush actually let go in the next second.

It took two steps back in a daze, its eyes glazed over, and it sat down on the spot without barking or jumping.

"It's been a dog day! How can I die!!"

Mo Tiangen rushed up one step at a time, no matter what happened, he grabbed the monster's long neck with a dog's head on it with his bare hands, and with all his strength, he swung it round and smashed it against the wall. , directly broke it into a piece of meat paste.

Before losing consciousness, Ji Thrush saw Mr. Dagen drop the body of the dog monkey, picked him up in a panic, told him to "hold on", and staggered towards the door of the air-raid shelter at the end of the corridor...

...

Ji Thrush didn't know how long he had been in this dizziness.

When he dimly regained a little consciousness, he only felt pain all over his body, so painful that he almost wanted to just close his eyes and pass out.

But there are many voices calling his name.

"Ok… "

Ji Thrush barely opened his eyes.

He found himself resting on Ren Jianmo's lap.

Mo Tiangen and Min Qingqing were crying and calling him, telling him not to fall asleep, while the female nurse Zhang Ying gritted her teeth and pressed her hands on the bleeding wound on his shoulder, completely ignoring him. Those strong acids would burn her palms.

—Am I... am I going to die

Ji Thrush's lips fluttered a few times, but he couldn't say the question.

At this time, a pair of cold and wet hands held his blood-stained cheek.

"Ji Thrush, look at me."

Ren Jianmo lowered his head, the long hair on his sideburns slipped from his shoulders, and a strand of it fell to the corner of Ji Thrush's lips.

"look into my eyes."

His voice was hoarse, with a very light tail, and he sounded very tired:

"Hold on, the time will come soon."

Ji Thrush's vision began to blur, and his vision became narrower and darker.

He feels cold and tired.

In the groggy state, he could only hear Ren Jianmo's voice.

The man said to him:

"One more minute."

"Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven..."

"...eight, seven, six... three, two, one..."

Season thrush closed his eyes.
