And 50 meters away is the staff canteen on the second floor. There are several glasses of unfinished water on the long table in the canteen, and the ashtrays next to it are full of ashes. Xu Haoyu walked over to take a look at the leftovers, and immediately exclaimed, "I'm sorry, the food here is so good, I'm hungry."
After finishing speaking, he swallowed his saliva, like a base refugee who hasn't eaten for months.
Xiong Nan placed the directional bomb on the ground, and was speechless when he heard Xu Haoyu's words: "Who would like to work in this kind of place if the food is not good?"
The experimental center is far away from all human safety bases, and it is a completely sealed working environment. People here basically have no entertainment, and they have to face disgusting and terrifying zombies all day long. The risk of being a member of the test subject, if the benefits and wages of working here are not good, who would want to work here
For special forces like them, if it wasn't for the high enough commission from the employer, who would not live in a good base after the end of the apocalypse, wandering among all kinds of zombies all day long.
"Okay, stop moaning, we don't have much time, hurry up and I'm going back to the base for a drink." Xiong Nan took the remote control and retreated, telling the others to find a safe place to hide.
Su Jinzhi followed Jiang Lishan to find a cabinet as a cover, and just squatted down when he heard Xu Haoyu ask: "Aren't you afraid to lure all the zombies here if you set up a bomb here?"
"How do you get to the first floor without bombing?" Xiong Nan turned his head to look at Su Jinzhi, and nunu said, "Didn't you hear what Shan Qian said? The first floor is full of zombies, do you want to go down and give them extra food?"
The woman with ponytail Xu Haoyu called "Sister Love" couldn't help looking at Su Jinzhi after hearing Xiong Nan's words, but unlike Xiong Nan, she looked at Su Jinzhi with suspicion: "What if he said What about lies?"
Everyone froze for a moment when they heard her words, and then turned their heads to look at Su Jinzhi, and heard her continue: "The zombies we met in the elevator came with him, and we are currently in the laboratory building." I met him as a living person, and he was still a test subject, why didn't the experimenters survive, but he was a test subject, but he lived well, haven't you ever doubted this?"
The implication of the ponytail woman is that Su Jinzhi is likely to be the person who caused the laboratory riot, and his appearance is really suspicious. After all, no one can be like him holding a teddy bear and carrying a small backpack in the pile of zombies Survived, but most importantly, the experimental center will not use a normal person as an experiment.
This is a rule that all experimental bases must strictly abide by.
Their test products can only be mutated zombies, or humans who have been infected with the zombie virus but have not yet transformed into zombies.
Su Jinzhi had an experimental code engraved on his wrist, but he looked no different from a normal person.
"If you don't believe me, you can go down and see for yourself." Su Jinzhi was a little annoyed at being slandered like this, and he immediately retorted, "But if zombies eat your brain, don't blame me for not warning you."
"you-"
The ponytailed woman immediately became unhappy when she heard Su Jinzhi's words, she stared at Su Jinzhi and was about to walk towards Su Jinzhi, but was stopped by the flat-headed boss: "Okay, old bear, don't talk nonsense, blow up here quickly, the controller has been found Why go to the first floor when the electric room is in place?"
"Hide well." Xiong Nan nodded and shouted at everyone.
After he was sure that everyone had found cover, he pressed the button in his hand.
There was a loud "boom", and the ground under their feet trembled. After the flying dust stopped, Xiong Nan walked out of the cover, checked his surroundings and said, "It's done."
As soon as Xu Haoyu heard that the hole was blown up, he jumped out immediately, ran to the hole where Xiong Nan blasted his head and looked down: "It's dark, I can't see anything clearly, I don't know if there are any zombies."
"There must be zombies, there are more than one." Jiang Lishan walked behind him and kicked his ass, "Do you want to go down and accompany them?"
Xu Haoyu was unsteady and almost fell, and when he squatted again, he immediately rolled aside, and said to Jiang Lishan with a smile: "I won't go, I won't go, Brother Jiang, you go."
Jiang Lishan glanced at him with a smile, reached out and broke a light stick and threw it into the hole.
The general height between the first floor and the first floor is three meters, but there are a lot of electrical equipment on the first floor, so it is built higher, with a height of about four meters, and the location where the fluorescent sticks fell also confirmed This guess.
But even though the explosion made a lot of noise just now, and they threw a glow stick down, no zombies gathered at the entrance of the cave. Jiang Lishan turned on the flashlight and irradiated it around the entrance of the cave. Turn off the flashlight, carry the repair tools and replace the giant battery and get ready to go.
Su Jinzhi looked at him, hesitated for a while, stepped forward to stop him, and said softly, "Let me go."
Jiang Lishan paused, looked back at him, then took off the flashlight, smiled, and asked, "Let you go?"
"En." Su Jinzhi met his eyes and nodded seriously.
Jiang Lishan smiled again, half bent down, and tapped his forehead twice with his fingers: "Can you repair it? It's so dark down here, you can't beat zombies when you meet them."
"I don't know how to repair, but you can teach me." Su Jinzhi touched the place where he knocked, the man's hand was not strong at all, so it didn't hurt, "And it's dangerous down there, so I don't want you to go. "
The man was a little stunned when he heard his words, looked at him in a daze, and opened his lips as if to refute, Su Jinzhi quickly continued: "Zombies won't bite me, so it's best for me to go."
"Zombies won't bite you?" Jiang Lishan frowned slightly.
"Well, I am indeed a test subject. When I woke up, the laboratory had become like this." Su Jinzhi held the flashlight in Jiang Lishan's hand, and pulled the strap of the repair tool, "But zombies will not bite me , so I survived."
The boy's voice was very soft, without any emotion, but everyone present felt a little heavy for no reason, even the ponytail woman who had always been at odds with Su Jinzhi didn't speak.
Jiang Lishan hesitated for a while, but he still didn't let go, and asked again: "Are you sure the zombies won't bite you?"
Su Jinzhi said: "Well, didn't you see it when you were in the elevator?"
"Okay." Jiang Lishan finally let go, and handed over the flashlight and repair tool bag to Su Jinzhi, and then he and Xu Haoyu arranged a vertical ladder near the entrance of the cave so that Su Jinzhi could go down.
He repeatedly told Su Jinzhi: "Protect yourself, come back if you can't do it, and replace me."
Hearing this, Su Jinzhi showed him the first smile after meeting him: "Okay."
Looking at the young man's smile, Jiang Lishan suddenly felt that his heart was still for a moment. This feeling was very strange, so he was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, the young man's figure had disappeared at the entrance of the cave. He quickly leaned over, his eyes fixed on the boy holding the flashlight in the dark.
Xu Haoyu was holding his notebook, looking at the map and directing Su Jinzhi through the walkie-talkie: "Go a little further to the left... eh, yes, this is it, see? Use your flashlight to see what's wrong, Is the wire broken or the battery burned?"
Su Jinzhi listened to his words and put down the repair tool bag, and held up a flashlight to check the situation. All the wires in the electric box were intact, only the surface of the magnetic battery had some scorched marks, and there was some burnt smell in the air, so he Affirmative: "The wire is not broken, the battery is burned."
"Wow, we're so lucky!" Xu Haoyu clapped his hands, and said to Su Jinzhi happily, "Then you change the battery—"
Xu Haoyu stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, but Su Jinzhi was busy looking at the electric box and didn't notice his strange pause. He carefully took out the burned out magnetic battery, and imitated Jiang Lishan to hold the flashlight in his mouth In the middle of the night, he bent down to replace the new battery into the battery box, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bloody zombie face.
The zombie was very close to him, almost face to face. If it wasn't for the strong smell of burned batteries, Su Jinzhi must have smelled the fishy smell on his body. Now that he came face to face with him, Su Jin subconsciously With a sound of "ah", the flashlight fell from his mouth and hit the ground with a dull sound. The sound was like a stone hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.
Without even thinking about it, Jiang Lishan rushed to the entrance of the cave, and yelled two unfamiliar words into the darkness that he couldn't see clearly: "Jinzhi!"
As soon as these two words came out, he was also stunned. He had no idea why he would shout these two words at the young man, as if he knew the young man and knew his name.
But obviously the two of them met for the first time today.
Before that, he didn't even know that there was such a person in the world.
"Shan Qian, are you alright?!" Xu Haoyu yelled the loudest, as if he could jump down to save Su Jinzhi as long as he didn't die, so his voice overshadowed Jiang Lishan's, making people not notice Jiang Lishan The abrupt two words that were shouted.
"I'm fine." The boy's voice came from the dark. I don't know if it was because of the distance. The boy's voice sounded a little hoarse and muffled. I."
Then the flashlight that fell on the ground was picked up again, and he waved it in the air a few times, telling everyone that he was fine.
"You're really scary." Xu Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief, and urged Su Jinzhi, "Hurry up, change the battery and come up."
"En." Su Jinzhi responded in a low voice, raised his hand to wipe away the moisture from his eyes with his back to the crowd.
The zombie that frightened Su Jinzhi was attracted by the strong light of the flashlight, and moved around following the beam, but he did not slap Su Jin, as if what was standing in front of him was not a piece of white and tender human flesh, but an intangible mass Also invisible air.
Because only the magnetic battery needs to be replaced, Su Jinzhi moved very quickly. After putting the battery back into the electric tank, only a "beep" sound was heard, and the entire electric control room on the first floor was brightened, and the dim emergency lights on the second floor were also turned on. It went out in an instant, replaced by bright incandescent lights on the ceiling.
However, after the light was restored on the first floor, everyone gasped when they saw Su Jinzhi's position, because there were indeed several zombies in the electric control room on the first floor, standing not far from Su Jinzhi, if the person who went down was a living person , I'm afraid he was surrounded and eaten the second he landed.
Su Jinzhi swallowed, and slowly bent his knees to pick up the repair tool from the ground. Xu Haoyu lowered his voice from above and said, "Don't pick it up, come up quickly!"
Hearing this, Su Jinzhi turned around and ran towards the vertical ladder. As soon as he held the ladder, Jiang Lishan and Xiong Nan directly dragged him up, and then pushed away several heavy iron boxes to cover the hole.
"I was scared to death just now, I thought you were going to be eaten by zombies." After doing all this, Xu Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief, and patted Su Jinzhi on the shoulder.
Su Jinzhi said, "They won't bite me."
"That's great, if only I were like you." Xu Haoyu looked envious.
Su Jinzhi was startled when he heard Xu Haoyu's words.
... Is he so good
Although he will not be bitten by zombies, he will be locked in the laboratory all the time, without any privacy at all, unable to see the outside world, only able to judge the time by the clock forever, and have endless blood sampling every day.
"Why are your eyes red?" The man's deep voice interrupted his thoughts, Su Jinzhi raised his head in a daze, and looked at Jiang Lishan standing in front of him.
There was no expression on the man's face, he seemed a little uncomfortable, but he still raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his eyes: "Are you scared?"
Su Jinzhi didn't pay attention to what he said, but subconsciously said "hmm" following his words.
"Then follow me, I will protect you." The man smiled at him when he heard this, and held his hand through the glove.
Su Jinzhi looked down at the two people's intertwined hands, and suddenly thought that a long time ago, when he and Jiang Lishan "contacted" for the first time, they were separated by such a thick protection—they couldn't touch each other.
And in this world, after getting rid of all external factors, they still can't touch each other, and they have to be separated by such a layer of protection forever.
Now that he can't contact No. 1 and No. 0, it means that he and Jiang Lishan are in the deepest data world, and everything here is controlled by people's subconscious. So does this mean that in Jiang Lishan's subconscious, They can only stay like this forever, never being able to touch each other
"Let's go." The man raised his hand and pulled Su Jinzhi slightly.
Su Jinzhi came back to his senses, there was gloomy look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just followed Jiang Lishan quietly and walked forward, his fingers were gently closed, and he held Jiang Lishan's, but he let go quickly.
Jiang Lishan kept looking forward, not looking at him, as if he didn't notice Su Jinzhi's little move.
Now that the power has been restored, they have to go back to the elevator, take the elevator to the ninth floor, copy the data and leave by helicopter.
I didn't expect this task to be so easy. Everyone had smiles on their faces, but when they walked to the elevator, they all stopped in unison, and the smiles on their faces froze immediately.
Xu Haoyu was the first to speak. He asked Jiang Lishan who was walking at the back with Su Jinzhi: "Brother Jiang, I remember that when we came here, the elevator stopped on the second floor, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Lishan's expression was also serious, because the elevator displayed the fifth floor at the moment, and it was still rising slowly, and finally stopped at the fifth floor.
Xu Haoyu asked again: "Are there other living people in this building?"
The crew-cut girl reloaded her gun with a serious face, and said coldly, "It's better to be a living person."
When the elevator is out of electricity, only people with a magnetic card can rely on the backup power supply to use it, but once the elevator's power is restored, no matter if it is a living person or a zombie, anyone who can press the elevator button can use it.
The flat-haired girl didn't say anything more, she walked over slowly with a gun in her hand, and was just about to press the elevator, but the elevator suddenly started to run automatically, descending from the seventh floor.
Seeing that the number on the floor number display was getting closer and closer to their second floor, the flat-haired woman immediately withdrew her hand and shouted to everyone while walking back: "Back!"
Almost as soon as her voice fell, the elevator moved to the second floor. After a "ding", the elevator door opened automatically, and there were countless zombies coming with it. Their speed was obviously faster than when Su Jinzhi appeared together. The group of zombies should be faster and more flexible, so they can easily dodge several bullets flying towards their heads.
There was a violent chug sound from the muzzle of the gun, and countless bullets sank into the bodies of those zombies, but these bullets were completely useless if they didn't hit their heads.
After all the zombies ran out, the elevator door closed automatically and went to the first floor. No need to think about it, everyone knew that it would continue to bring more zombies from the first floor.
After finishing the first wave of zombies with great difficulty, Xu Haoyu was a little anxious when the second wave was brought by the elevator, and shouted, "We don't have many bullets, so we can't finish them like this."
"The elevator was blown up." Jiang Lishan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Jiang, are you crazy?!" Xu Haoyu turned his head and dared not say anything, "How do we go to the ninth floor if the elevator is blown up, through the wall?"
"The elevator can't be used, so it can only pass through the wall." Xiong Nan also agreed with Jiang Lishan's opinion. He took off a bomb from his waist and pulled out the copper ring. "Just like we went to the first floor just now, let's climb up layer by layer."
