For a moment, Ji Thrush was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood on end, his heart skipped three times uncontrollably, and he almost had a myocardial infarction from being frightened.
The others were obviously not much better than him. Annie threw herself on Rose and grabbed her camouflage jacket tightly. One soldier was so frightened that his wrists trembled, and he almost lost his temper in fright.
Fortunately, even so, no one was so stupid as to scream out on the spot.
It's also fortunate that they still have some reason left, so they don't die before they leave the teacher, and they are directly wiped out in less than a minute after getting started.
Just when the group of people were still in shock and still bewildered, Ren Jianmo patted Ji Thrush on the shoulder, then pointed to the foot of the wall.
Everyone followed his directions to look over, and soon discovered that there was an infrared sensor device installed on the wall, which would intelligently and automatically turn on the light whenever someone passed by.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Those monsters couldn't see, even if the lights were on, they wouldn't pose any threat to them.
On the contrary, when the opponent can't see them, the place with light is an advantage for them, at least a hundred times better than fighting in the dark.
Ji Thrush stroked his chest, feeling his fast heart rate gradually calm down, and only then did he have enough time to look at the environment they were in now.
It was a corridor about twenty meters long, empty, except for them, there was no one else, and naturally there were no monsters.
Ji Xiaoniao remembers that according to the map drawn by Annie, this is the logistics passage, and the people who usually go through this door are mostly logistics and cleaning personnel. In addition, when carrying the daily necessities of the staff in the research institute, they will also come in and out from here.
There were still a few doors at both ends of the corridor, but all of them were locked tightly by the institute's security system.
The spaces behind these doors are all warehouses, cleaning rooms, and the like. For Ji Thrush and the others, there is no time-consuming and laborious investigation value at all, and they are naturally ignored by them.
Everyone tiptoed through the empty and silent corridor.
At the end of the corridor is a heavy metal door that completely separates the two spaces.
There is also a rectangular window about 30 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters long on the metal door, inlaid with double-layer bulletproof glass, probably reserved for viewing windows.
Ji Thrush stuck to the window and looked in—it was a quite spacious space, arranged like the kind of large open kitchen he had seen when watching Mi Di’s cooking reality show before, with several neatly arranged The cooking table also has space for kitchen utensils, tableware, side dishes and cleaning areas.
Obviously, most of the logistics personnel were not spared from the biochemical crisis that broke out in the research institute.
The originally neat and clean kitchen has become a ruin after the battlefield after experiencing the crazy hunting of monsters and the desperate escape of prey.
Blood splatters could be seen on the countertop, walls, and even the ceiling. Pots and pans fell all over the floor, making a mess everywhere.
There are also many "skins" that the infected humans shed when they turned into monsters, like piles of black broken tiles, scattered everywhere.
More importantly, in the kitchen, there are quite a few monsters with only a pair of skeletons left. He counted them carefully, and there are twelve or three monsters that can be seen within the range of vision, enough for one of them. Divide one horse and have some left over.
"There is a door opposite the kitchen, leading to the dining area."
Although they were the only ones in the entire corridor, Annie still subconsciously lowered her voice and murmured:
"The dining room has two staircases leading to the research area..."
In other words, if they wanted to enter the core area of the research institute and look for the Luna Stone that was somewhere, no matter what, they had to find a way to pass through the pile of monsters wandering in the kitchen.
A drop of cold sweat oozed from Ji Xiaoniao's forehead.
He has been practicing archery all year round, so his judgment of distance can be regarded as quite accurate.
According to his visual inspection, Ji Thrush felt that the straight-line distance from the door in front of them to the door leading to the restaurant on the other side was at least fifty meters.
What is the concept of fifty meters
The floor of the kitchen is not a plastic runway, but a tile floor, and the road is not a straight line without obstacles. They have to go around the counter and several cabinets, and beware of the pots and pans scattered on the ground like a minefield ladle.
This means that it is impossible for them to run in the kitchen at the speed of a 100-meter sprint...
"How to do?"
At this time, Mo Tiangen bumped Ji Thrush's arm with his elbow, "Shall we rush over bravely?"
Ji Thrush frowned, and replied softly: "It's hard."
He is telling the truth.
If they wanted to cross the kitchen area without disturbing the monsters, they had to hold their breath and keep absolutely quiet, and they had to run desperately to reach the opposite side in a very short time. Then open the door—this is really, really hard!
If even one person goes wrong, it will cause very serious consequences-they will be blocked in the kitchen by a dozen monsters, and even if they are not wiped out, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties!
"No way, let's take a gamble!"
Rose gritted her teeth, made a decision for the others, and then raised her chin towards the thrush:
"Ji Xiaoniao, open the door!"
"Wait, don't worry!"
Ji Thrush still felt that it was too risky to rush in directly, and this was the first level of the game, so it was always better to be as safe as possible.
He frowned and looked around.
"Ji Xiaoniao!"
Rose turned her back to everyone, nodded her watch meaningfully, and urged in a low voice: "Don't dawdle, time is running out!"
Ji Thrush also looked at the watch on his wrist.
At some point, the pointer on the progress bar has turned yellow.
This is what it means to be vigilant.
It is "Peach Blossom Spring" who is warning the participants that the plot has entered a dangerous period, and they will encounter more severe tests than before.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Ji Thrush twisted his two delicate eyebrows into a Sichuan knot, thinking desperately whether there was any other more secure solution.
As he thought, his eyes turned left and right, and soon fixed on a certain place.
It was an intercom-style intercom phone hanging in the corner.
"Annie!"
Ji Thrush's eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his energy, "Is this phone still available?"
Annie was startled when his name was called suddenly, she was stunned for a while before she nodded, "I think... it still works, it should..."
Ji Thrush continued to ask: "So, is there a working intercom phone in the kitchen?"
There was a flash of inspiration in Annie's eyes, and she suddenly realized:
"I see what you mean!"
She suppressed her throat, her voice trembling with excitement:
"There is a phone in the side dish area and stove No. 1. I, I remember the number!"
"Very good!"
Ji Thrush stretched out his hand and fumbled for a while, frantically flipping through a piece of paper and a pen to ask Annie to draw him another floor plan and tell him the location of the two phones.
"Don't panic."
Ren Jianmo held Xiaoniao's flustered hand, then pushed Annie to the door, motioning her to look into the kitchen through the glass window, "Where are the two phones, show us."
For some reason, Annie was a little afraid that when Ren Jianmo stared at this exceptionally handsome man, she didn't even dare to meet his eyes.
The chestnut-haired woman quickly turned her head away, and quickly gestured in two different directions.
It is really difficult to find the two small internal telephones attached to the wall in such a narrow window.
Ji Thrush, who had the best eyesight of all, squinted his eyes and searched for a while, and finally found it.
"Call to the side dish section!"
He made a decisive decision immediately, "As soon as the phone rings, we are ready to open the door!"
Everyone understood Ji Thrush's plan at this time, and nodded solemnly.
Annie gave the internal phone number for the side dish section.
Ji Thrush pressed the number first, then nodded vigorously at Ren Jianmo who was standing by the door.
Holding the ID card in his hand, Ren Jianmo gave him a "ready" look in return.
Ji Xiaoniao tapped the word [Call] on the touch screen with a forceful finger.
"Dulululu! Dulululu!"
The phone rang in the corner of the kitchen.
Usually, when the kitchen is full of fireworks and busy, no one would think how loud the intercom phone is, but at this time, when there is no living person in the whole kitchen, and it is so quiet that a needle can be heard, the ringing It sounded a little abrupt.
The monsters wandering around in the kitchen all turned their heads and rushed towards the phone.
Ji Thrush: "It's now!"
Ren Jianmo didn't wait for his order at all, and inserted the ID card into the door lock the moment the bell rang.
The artificial intelligence quickly reported a series of IDs, and then opened the steel door for them after saying [permission to pass].
Rose held her breath and rushed into the kitchen first.
Four soldiers followed closely behind, followed by Mo Tiangen who was protecting Annie, and finally Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo.
Holding their breath, they ran as fast as possible among the debris on the ground, and they had to pay attention to their feet so as not to make too much noise.
Fortunately, the monsters were now led by the regular sound of the phone to the side dish area—the corner farthest from the central axis of the kitchen.
However, the first monster had already come to the non-stop ringing phone at this time, raised its white sharp bone claws, and patted the small machine on the wall.
With a "bang chirp", with just one click, the whole phone was knocked off the wall, and hung on the wall with a clatter, wobbly, as if it would not fall off.
But the hapless intercom phone still rings steadfastly.
Another monster rushed forward, opened its abnormally protruding upper and lower jaws, like a python devouring its prey, tore the poor telephone off the wall with one bite, and then bit it into pieces.
The phone, which had been stubborn for two seconds, completely misfired.
However, within ten seconds or so, the adventurer team composed of the participants and the natives of this "world" had all crossed the kitchen and stumbled to the door leading to the restaurant.
They didn't dare to breathe, they held their breath in their lungs, and their faces were already purple.
Rose anxiously pointed at the door, signaling Ji Thrush or Ren Jianmo to open the door quickly.
Ji Thrush covered his mouth and got up, inserting the ID card into the card slot.
However, the artificial intelligence voice system of the institute spoke before opening the door:
[Researcher TT2203, permission to pass.]
The dry, electronic sound lingers throughout the kitchen, clear, loud, and compelling.
Sure enough, the monsters who had gathered in the side dish area turned their heads at the same time, and their more than twenty black eye sockets stared straight at the group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered crowded in front of the door!
The author has something to say:
Ji Xiaoniao (jumping violently): Ahh, the voice system is messing with me! !
