"This damn place is becoming increasingly unbearable!" Li Xi complained, throwing down the remote control in her hand.
The food in the base is almost gone, and no one has come to deliver new food. Today, the signal is cut off, and even TV cannot be watched. They are working in the base and cannot use their mobile phones, but they can watch TV and at least understand the situation outside.
Even if those damn guys on TV don't broadcast things like "aliens have occupied the earth and everyone is doomed", at least it can comfort people to hear those arguments that the world is at peace and people are living happily.
Well now, it's getting worse.
"Lei, don't you think there's chaos outside? Because that Kong Hai brought disaster to the outside world, it's the end of the world outside, so no one cares about us. It's like that famous doomsday zombie movie, we stay here and don't know anything, and when we go out, we find that the outside world has fallen?"
Even though she was immersed in love, Li Xi still felt fear and anxiety.
Lei held her in his arms, kissed her face, and shook his head in amusement, "Oh, baby, you really think too much. Well, since you are so worried, let's leave here and go outside to see what's going on."
"Do you really want to climb over the wall? But the wall is too high. Can you really climb over it, dear?" Li Xi smiled at her lover's comfort and rubbed against his strong chest muscles.
Lei smiled confidently. In front of the woman he likes, men will want to show their strong side and like to act cool. This is a common problem among men.
"Baby, you don't believe me? Well, I'm going to show you."
He rolled up his sleeves, stretched his body a bit, and looked like he was about to start climbing the high wall.
Qin Minghuang, who had been listening to their conversation, stopped him with a plate of popcorn in his hand, "Hey, wait a minute!"
"What are you doing!" Lei didn't say anything, but Li Xi was the first to get dissatisfied. She had been getting more and more dissatisfied with this colleague these days. She really ate too much! There wasn't much food in the freezer, but she didn't know how to save it. She ate more than Barry and Lei. She kept eating and eating. How could she not get fat to death
Qin Minghuang ignored her dissatisfaction and only suggested: "You should turn off the power first, otherwise if the power grid on the wall suddenly explodes, he will be cooked."
Li Xi was startled by her bang, and when she came to her senses, she was furious, "The power grid has been broken for a long time, it's useless, it's just for scaring people! Did you say this on purpose to curse my boyfriend?!"
Lei stopped him, "Don't be angry, baby, she is new here and may not know about this."
He glanced at Qin Minghuang, cut off the power of the entire base, then walked to the wall again to stretch his hands and feet. Without any help, he climbed three meters high, jumped up and grabbed an iron spike.
Judging from his skills, his confidence is justified. Li Xi's eyes are full of her boyfriend, "Wo! Great Lei!"
Lei grabbed the electric nets and iron spikes and climbed up little by little. He soon reached the top of the wall. He turned back and made an OK gesture to Li Xi, which caused another cheer.
Qin Minghuang chewed popcorn, thinking to herself why she had to eat dog food wherever she went. When she ate food, she only felt full but not stuffed, but when she looked at the dog food for a few more seconds, she felt stuffed.
As she was thinking, she accidentally looked up and saw a camera nearby.
The camera didn't seem to be in this position before? This thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly got a chill. There was a red dot in the camera, it was still on! Didn't the power of the entire base go out just now
Thinking of this, she turned her head sharply and looked at the high wall.
At the same time, Li Xi screamed.
The power grid that they thought was already abandoned suddenly started up! The blue sparks that suddenly lit up were even dazzling in the dim sky. Lei, who was wrapped in the power grid, couldn't even make a sound. The man had already fallen off the wall and lay motionless on the ground.
Li Xi ran over in panic, and Qin Minghuang also walked over with a frown. She squatted down to check and found that Lei was dead, dead completely, with muscles and even bones carbonized. You can imagine how powerful the electric grid is.
"Oh, my God! Lei! Lei! Wake up, help! Help, someone can save him! Don't scare me, Lei!" Li Xi cried and suddenly remembered something. She ran into the house and took out the communicator. She could use it to contact the person in charge of the base, but the call hadn't been connected in the past few days, and it was the same now.
She also discovered Lei's death, but was unwilling to accept it. Qin Minghuang did not point it out, but walked aside and did not look at her desperate crying.
A stranger died in front of her. Although she was not sad because of her personality, she was not in a good mood. More importantly, the message revealed by this incident was that there was a conspiracy in this base.
The seemingly relaxed environment actually hides many dangers. They are really trapped here. There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating them, and no one knows what the purpose is.
She sat by the sink, thinking with a bowl of popcorn in her hand. This was the popcorn she had made today using two ears of corn she had found in the freezer. It had smelled delicious just now, but now she had no appetite.
Just grab one and throw it into the pool.
The popcorn floating on the water began to circle in a strange pattern. Ripples appeared on the calm water surface, as if something was swimming underneath. She immediately knew that the color-changing giant octopus was now in the pool.
She threw down another popcorn, wondering if it would eat it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps and wind behind her. Qin Ming and Huang Xin thought, what's wrong with you two? You want to push people into the water just because they are squatting by the pool. She stepped aside and saw Li Xi rushing over to push her and screamed as she was about to fall into the water.
Thinking of the unknown giant octopus in the water, Qin Minghuang grabbed Li Xi and dragged her back. But Li Xi's face was full of tears and hatred, and she shouted: "You just said Lei would be electrocuted to death, you knew it a long time ago, right!"
As he said this, he grabbed her face and eyes with his hands.
Qin Minghuang grabbed her wrist, dragged her on the ground, turned her over, and pinned her hands to the ground.
"Sister, I deeply sympathize with your boyfriend's death, but it's not good to vent your emotions on innocent people." She held Li Xi tightly as she struggled. "It's normal to want to vent your fear and anxiety by taking your anger out on others, but baby, I'm not a good choice, you know?"
Only when he saw that she had stopped struggling did Qin Minghuang let her go.
The person ran away crying. Qin Minghuang looked at the popcorn scattered on the ground with a little heartache, and kicked it all into the pool.
The popcorn floating on the water turned into a spinning whirlpool, and then disappeared one by one into the water as they were eaten.
Fortunately, this is not considered a waste.
Barry was the last to know about Lei's death. He collapsed when he saw the charred body and cried even more sadly than Li Xi. The other two were crying, which made Qin Minghuang wonder if he was too cold-blooded.
However, she had seen dead people in Qin's house and was used to it, so she really couldn't cry.
Barry was not crying for Ray, he and Ray were not on good terms yet, he was crying for himself. He might die here soon!
Returning to the dormitory with a desperate mood, Barry suddenly heard a beeping sound. It was the sound of the communicator in the base. He hadn't heard this sound for a long time since the person in charge lost contact.
After realizing what this was, Barry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed over to pick up the communicator, "Hey! Help! Help..."
He held the communicator and heard the voice inside. The ecstasy and excitement on his face quickly froze.
Finally, he hung up the communicator in a trance. After a moment of silence, the expression on his face changed from hesitation to determination.
"I want to leave. I must leave here alive!" He was willing to do anything as long as he could leave this damn place alive.
The man in the monitoring room hung up the communicator in his hand and smiled at the screen in front of him.
Now that it has chosen the person it likes, the rest are only valuable as feed.
However, look at this beautiful sea creature, it really dotes on the human it likes. The man looked at the picture displayed on the screen, the huge creature was using its thick tentacles to poke the popcorn on the water surface, it was "playing" with humans.
He believed that it had rich emotions, just like humans. However, it was far more perfect than humans. In just one month of research, he had discovered that it had a keen sense of everything in the outside world, especially living creatures. It could detect any tiny change in their breath.
There is no doubt that it has great power, and the video of it devouring the two man-eating sharks is still in his favorites. While showing its great power, it is also so graceful and moving.
At the same time, it is docile and has never attacked the humans living around it for so long.
The man didn't know whether it didn't eat humans because it could tell the difference between humans and other animals, or if it was for some other reason, and he really wanted to know this.
He wanted to know everything about its lifestyle, reproduction method, etc. It was like solving a mystery, which made him extremely excited.
At night, the base was even quieter. In the past, you could faintly hear the endless fighting of Lei and Li Xi, but now there was only suffocating silence.
Barry came out of his dormitory, holding a knife and a rope, and stood in front of Lixi's dormitory door, his face covered with cold sweat of nervousness.
"Li Xi, I don't want to kill you. He asked me to do it. Don't blame me. I just want to live. Don't blame me!"
…
Early in the morning, Qin Minghuang got up to run, and as usual, she walked around the pool. When she reached the outdoor pool, she stopped.
The woman floated quietly on the water, the water around her was slightly turbid with a faint red color.
The pale limbs and face looked like a lifeless piece of rotten wood under the morning sunlight.
She walked over silently and fished out the body. Her hands slid across Li Xi's wrists and the marks on her neck.
Suddenly, there was a sound of water splashing in the water, followed by a splash, and something wet landed on the floor tiles beside the pool. Qin Minghuang glanced over there and then withdrew his gaze, stood up and walked towards the dormitory building.
The dormitory door was banged on. Barry stood behind the door with dark circles under his eyes. "What are you doing?"
He heard the woman outside the door say in panic: "Barry! Barry, it's bad, Li Xi is dead!"
"Just die, don't bother me!" Barry couldn't help yelling. But the knocking on the door didn't stop, as if it would keep going unless he opened the door. Barry opened the door irritably, "You bitch..."
“Bang!”
As soon as the door was opened a crack, Qin Minghuang kicked it open with force. Barry, who was behind the door, was knocked back and fell to the ground. Qin Minghuang rushed into the door, kicked Barry who was trying to get up, and quickly tied up his hands and feet and tied him to the bed frame.
“Hiss... What... What are you doing...” Barry didn’t expect that this woman who looked neither tall nor strong could be so powerful. He, a man, was controlled before he even had time to resist.
"You killed Li Xi, didn't you?" Qin Minghuang kicked him. "Don't make excuses. There are only two of us left here. If it's not me, then it must be you."
"In order to protect my life, I'm tying you up here. You should have no objection."
"No! I..." Before Barry could finish his words, Qin Minghuang stepped on his mouth.
"You should be fine with that."
