The friends guarding the door of the unit did not wait for the attack signal, but welcomed back the eight comrades who had explored the way.
The elevator is stuck on the eighth floor. There are only two possibilities. One, the elevator is malfunctioning, and there is something wrong with the eighth floor. But no matter what, there is only one choice left for the martial arts class—climbing the stairs.
It's not a last resort, and the martial arts students don't want to do it.
Qiao Siqi's house was on the top floor of the ninth floor, which was nothing to them who had been struggling for more than a month. But this kind of small high-rise residence is different from the teaching buildings in the campus. After the elevators in the teaching buildings go up, you have to face a whole floor of room corridors. Who knows what’s going on outside the elevator door, and the mountains and seas of corpses are not evenly preserved, so relatively speaking , the stairway with limited space, the situation is more controllable.
But small high-rises are different, especially here at Qiao Siqi, where there are two households in one elevator, that is to say, in the worst case after the elevator door is opened, both households will be infected, and the number of zombies is extremely limited. As long as they can rush out and lock nine The door of the fire stairs on the first floor, the entire ninth floor is a completely enclosed battlefield, and even if you overturn the sky, it will not attract more zombies; on the contrary, if they use the stairs, it means that zombies on every floor—if any—can Enter the fire stairs through the fire doors of each floor, and then randomly connect the first to ninth floors in series. If they don't do it well, they will be surrounded by up and down, and the entire martial arts class will be filled with dumpling stuffing.
— but now there is no choice.
The door of the unit was pinned by stones and kept open so that the back road could be unblocked.
Just as the martial arts class was about to enter the fire-fighting stairway, Luo Geng suddenly stopped everyone, and then took out a small bottle of Six God from his backpack as if by magic.
This "smallness" is the real thing. The bottle body has been shrunk several times according to the appearance of a normal product. At first glance, it looks like a gift for a special package. But even so, the psychological safety index of the friends has increased by several percentage points.
"It can be hidden..." Qiao Siqi teased him angrily.
Luo Geng chuckled: "It's not the last moment, how can I move the things at the bottom of the box."
The green vials were passed on to sixteen friends one by one. Although there were not many milliliters, the effect was astonishing. After a while, all the comrades in arms completely lost their sense of humanity.
Sixteen people stood still at the stairs.
Perhaps it was due to the confined space, the corridor was very quiet, Song Fei lowered his voice, but it was still empty and clear—
"There is a road in Huashan since ancient times." After looking around at the faces of each of his friends, he pushed his BF up the front stairs, "Handsome guy, come on!"
Qi Yan is ready to take the lead, after all, this is how he came all the way, but being prepared and being pushed to the front line by his wife are two different things, okay
"you… "
Boer.
"I… "
Bobo.
"Follow me!"
Sprinting up the stairs, Qi's vigorous back looks like a Super Mario who ate the Invincible Star!
Seeing this, the fourteen little friends really didn't know whether to praise the flirtatious skills of the leader of the Song class, or mourn the love intelligence of the leader of the Qi class.
Turning up, Qi Yan was the first to reach the second floor. The single door of the corridor that opened outward was ajar, leaving only a very narrow gap.
Qi Yan stepped forward silently, lightly grasping the doorknob with one hand, not moving, but secretly accumulating strength, in case something bad happened inside the door, he immediately closed the door, while leaning forward with his upper body, his eyes were close to the crack of the door.
Fortunately, the second floor was empty.
The elevator door was closed, and the anti-theft doors of the two owners were also closed. Although one of them could only see the corner of the anti-theft door from Qi Yan's perspective, judging from the fact that there was no sound at all, it was more likely that there were no zombies. , even if it is hidden, that position can accommodate at most one or two.
With a very slight "da", the door was quietly closed by Qi Yan.
In order to ensure escape, the door is designed so that it cannot be locked from the outside, so Qi Yan simply closes the door, in a state where the door can be opened by pressing the handle regardless of whether the door is inside or outside.
Qi Yan could also find a way to seal the door from the outside, but considering that if any resident wants to come out, the sealed fire exit door will be a disaster. For this reason, even taking the risk of "possible zombies inside opening the door and entering the stairway" is worth it.
The situation on the next few floors was basically similar, so Qi Yan did the same, no matter whether the corridor door was wide open or half-closed, he eventually took them all. This kind of door can't hinder people, it can be opened at will, no matter inside or outside, but it can prevent some zombies - after all, not every zombie knows how to press the doorknob to open the door.
But on the fifth floor, the situation changed.
Inside the half-open door, there was clearly a zombie dangling in front of the owner's anti-theft door. He was about thirty-four or five years old, dressed very business-like, and looked very much like the "runaway owners" mentioned by the youth before, with the only exception being the brutal bite wound on his face.
Song Fei who was following behind Qi Yan also saw it, his eyes widened, but he instinctively closed his mouth without making a sound.
Climbing the previous few floors was so smooth, coupled with the same smooth crossing of the park, he almost thought that he would go all the way to the top floor in this way, so suddenly a zombie jumped into his sight, which still made him instinctively excited.
Qi Yan turned around, and made a "shh" gesture to all the little friends who were in a row down to the corner of the fourth floor.
The comrades who lined up in the long queue understood, breathed lightly, and were all on alert.
Qi Yan squinted his eyes, and when the zombie wandered to the door of the resident who couldn't see the whole picture, and his back was facing the door of the stairwell, he quickly went up three steps on tiptoe! Lightning pulled the half-open door until there was only a crack left, and finally pressed the door handle lightly, and with a barely audible "da", the door was closed without anyone noticing.
After finishing all this, Qi Yan quickly descended the steps and quietly returned to the team.
All the little friends stared intently at the tightly closed door.
a long time.
There was no movement inside the door.
All the comrades in arms finally let go of their suspense, and silently praised Qi Ban's cadre's fierce skill.
Perhaps the zombie inside the door would have heard the slight sound of the door closing, but when it turned around to check, the door leaf had long been motionless, and there was nothing unusual about it. As long as it is not a wizard in the corpse world, it is unlikely to analyze various reasons, or even go to the door, press the handle, open the door and check the corridor.
Of course, the theory is such a theory, but it can really be done, and Qi Yan must be so bold and careful, his movements can keep up with his IQ, and his IQ is online all the time.
The next thing the friends have to do is to turn the team into "air" and quietly float across the fifth floor.
But before starting, Qi Yan still made three hand gestures to everyone with a solemn expression, which were the numbers six, seven, and eight.
I didn't deliberately cultivate a tacit understanding, but my friends understood everything miraculously - there is a zombie on the fifth floor, and the elevator is stuck on the eighth floor, so it is very likely that the eighth floor is the hardest hit area, and the person on the fifth floor may be wandering from the eighth floor down. If this is the case, every floor from now on, the closer to the eighth floor, the worse the situation may be.
Feeling that the little friends had almost digested it, Qi Yan changed the "OK" gesture again, the meaning of interrogation couldn't be more obvious.
All fourteen comrades raised their hands and said "OK".
Song Fei also raised his hand, but instead of making gestures, he blew a kiss back.
Qi Yan held back the corners of his mouth that wanted to go up, took a deep breath, and stepped up the steps again.
Soon, the corridor door on the sixth floor came into view.
Unlike the fifth floor, the door on this floor is almost completely concealed, the door leaf and the door frame are almost built together, and the deadbolt can be brought on with just one last click.
But Qi Yan didn't do it.
He couldn't see the zombies, which meant that the zombies inside couldn't see them, so there was no need to close the door and make a noise.
Under his leadership, the team crossed the sixth floor safely.
Compared with the footsteps of those unmasked zombies, the Wusheng class marched quietly, almost as if they were flying through the clouds. Even the careless Zhao He picked out the small stones stuck in the pattern of the soles as soon as he felt something was wrong, so that he came and walked gently, waving his sleeves, so as not to let the zombies see any bald heads.
Halfway through the sixth floor, before reaching the seventh floor, Qi Yan stopped on the landing at the corner of the stairs.
The corridor door on the seventh floor was wide open, and a zombie dangled back and forth inside and out. It seemed to have been swaying here for a long time, forming some kind of mechanical movement. Its dull eyes were fixed on its feet, neither the front nor the back, let alone the martial arts class under the stairs.
Qi Yan backed away slowly, pushing all his friends from the corner platform back to the stairs below, while he himself hid on the edge of the platform, where he couldn't see upstairs.
Then in the next second, he turned around, patted his trouser pockets at his friends, and frowned slightly.
All the comrades looked confused.
But Wang Qingyuan suddenly handed over a dime coin without making a sound.
Qi Yan nodded in satisfaction, took the coin, hid in the corner and glanced at the zombie walking out of the corridor door, and threw the coin up the stairs without hesitation!
Then he retreated decisively and returned to the team.
The fluttering of a dime landed on the steps in the middle of the stairs, and the sound was so small that it was easy to ignore in an instant.
But enough to attract the attention of zombies a few steps away.
After staring blankly for a moment, the zombie finally followed the sound.
But its movements were very slow, and its memory seemed to be very short. It only went down two steps, and before it was in front of the coin, it froze, as if it had forgotten why it came here.
Try to hide on the stairs below the corner as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the zombies. Qi Yan has not waited for the zombies to come, and because he wants to lure the enemy into the depths, he is already at an angle where he can't see the stairs above, so he is unconsciously a little anxious and entangled. Don't probe to see what's going on, why there are no footsteps.
But in the next second, the footsteps of zombies approached again!
The Wusheng class can't see the zombies, but they can hear the zombies' footsteps, and everyone is on high alert!
Qi Yan even held his breath and remained motionless, only listening to the footsteps getting closer and faster... suddenly rushing out!
The zombie who was caught off guard didn't see anything at all, and his mouth was covered by the palm of the black leather glove!
Qi Yan didn't even give the zombie a chance to struggle. The moment he covered the opponent's mouth, he took it into his arms, and pressed the zombie's head firmly against his chest with the palm covering his mouth. Insert the fruit knife into the temple of the zombie at high speed!
The fruit knife was pulled out, and the zombie collapsed.
Qi Yan gently put it on the steps, and the whole process was so fast that it was easy to miss it in the blink of an eye.
What's more, apart from the sound of clothes rubbing against the zombies, the whole process is almost silent!
It's not the first time for the friends in the martial arts class to watch Qi Yan's skills, but every time they watch, they have a new experience. I don't know whether Qi Yan has reservations every time, or whether the force value is rocketing up with the training of actual combat. .
There was only one zombie on the seventh floor, and the wide open door was clearly empty.
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the coin, and returned it to Wang Qingyuan.
The latter took it back naturally, as if some kind of tacit understanding had been reached between the two.
The fifteen little friends stared blankly, and suddenly looked at Song Fei at the same time.
Song Fei was also dazed, feeling that he was instantly surrounded by the emerald green prairie, and he didn't know why.
Having said that... When did the two of you get along so well, did you get my permission! ! !
Song Fei was depressed, and the friends were also working hard. Therefore, it is really troublesome to be unable to make a sound, which affects team communication! In the scene just now, they were able to express their opinions and ridicule the group a hundred times to make things worse!
The sixth floor hides the sky and crosses the sea, the seventh floor is safe and sound, and the next is the eighth floor.
Everyone turned serious, no longer dared to joke, held their weapons tightly, and concentrated on it.
This time, Qi Yan didn't let everyone reach the corner platform, but made everyone stop halfway up, and then bent down by himself, touching the ground with his hands, almost sticking to the stairs, using his hands and feet to climb up.
At this time, it doesn't matter whether the posture is good or not. The tactics don't need to be fancy, but they must be useful.
In this way, he arrived at the corner platform in the lowest and most inconspicuous form. Amidst the footsteps that were obviously more chaotic than those on the sixth floor, Qi Yan stuck his body to the ground, raised his head quietly, and looked up.
At least four zombies were wandering in the corridor outside the corridor door, because they blocked it, it was temporarily impossible to see how many zombies were inside the corridor door, but listening to the footsteps, there were not too few.
The elevator doors made strange mechanical noises, as if they were opening and closing, closing and opening again.
Qi Yan turned his head and gave his friends a look of "be safe and don't be impatient".
The comrades in arms suppressed their impatience and waited patiently.
Without blinking, Qi Yan peered ahead, his gaze firmly locked on the feet of the zombies dangling outside the doors.
Like downstairs, these zombies are also swaying inside and out, but probably because of the large number, it is inevitable that they will be crowded and collided when they sway, and staggering will be heard from time to time.
All sounds are concentrated on the eighth floor.
Qi Yan tried very hard to distinguish whether there were distant voices mixed together, such as the ninth floor, but so far, nothing has been found.
In the worst case, there are zombies on the ninth floor, but the number is much lower than that on the eighth floor.
In the best case, all the zombies are stuck on the eighth floor and below, and the ninth floor is safe and sound.
Qi Yan hopes for the best, but the worst is not that he cannot be dealt with, but that all comrades must cooperate with each other, and no mistakes can be made in any link.
Silently retreating to the team, Qi Yan repeated his analysis and tactics over and over again with his mouth.
Among the friends, there are those who understand it first, and those who understand it later. Those who understand it first can discuss it with Qi Yan with mouth movements, and those who understand it later only need to know the final result of the discussion.
Except for Zhao He and Qiao Siqi.
The eyes of these two followed the discussions of their comrades, spinning and jumping back and forth countless times without stopping, and finally they were still dazed in the blur, with a sense of bewilderment in the depth of the daze.
Qi Yan repeated mouth movements and gestures, and his body language was so rich that he wished he could even use his feet, but he still failed.
Song Fei patted BF's head distressedly, pulled him back to his side, and shook his head at him.
Qi Yan was stunned, and asked silently with uncertainty - don't you need to talk
Song Fei nodded.
Qi Yan asked again - what should I do next
Song Fei pointed to himself.
Qi Yan understood, it meant covering him.
Although I don't know what trick Song Fei has to turn these two elm heads, but Qi Yan believes that this guy who has tossed himself so fascinated has the ability to turn decay into magic.
Sixteen hands folded together, bouncing up and down, and spread out like a rainbow in silence!
——Brothers are of one heart, and their strength can break gold!
Sixteen people quickly changed formations in the corridor, and finally stood at 5-5-2-4!
Song Fei pulled Qiao Siqi and Zhao He back to the last row, together with Fu Xiyuan and Wu Zhou who rushed over to the rear; Kuang Ye, Wang Qingyuan, Ma Weisen, Feng Qibai and Lin Dilei stood in front of them The first step is the second-to-last row; Zhou Yilu Qiyan is in front of these five people, which is not only the third-to-last row, but also the second-to-last row; and the first row of soldiers who stand on a step up from them are really leading the battle. , it was Luo Geng, He Zhiwen, Huang Mo, Li Jingyu... and the suitcase they snatched from the confused Zhao He.
At this moment, the four comrades-in-arms with the lowest average altitude lined up in a tight row, as if they were one person, they worked together and stretched out their arms to hold the suitcase from below—the huge suitcase was almost as wide as the corridor!
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the friends could even hear each other's heartbeat.
Finally, the four little friends in the front row exchanged glances with Qi Yanzhou behind him—three, two, one!
The four rushed up together, holding the suitcases in front of them, five in one, like a heavy bulldozer!
Qi Yan and Zhou Lu almost started at the same time as them!
In a blink of an eye, the bulldozer has already stepped onto the last step, and it doesn't matter how many zombies are outside the corridor door. In short, it makes a sudden left turn, one counts as one, and two counts as a pair, and all dangling outside the door The zombies pushed all over the left wall!
But Qi Yan and Zhou Lv, who were following the four people in the front row, had no intention of turning with their comrades at all, and still went straight forward, rushing straight to the open corridor door!
The obstacles outside the corridor door have been pushed to the left wall by the partners in the front row, and the corridor door is full of unrecovered zombies!
Zhou Yili and Qi Yan, who seemed to be about to rush into the door, finally slammed on the brakes before the threshold!
Only a "snap" was heard, and the barrels of the mop gun and the sushi gun together were like parking poles, and were horizontally placed above the middle of the corridor door, just about the height of the chest, and the ends of the gun barrels were firmly pressed against the wall by Zhou Yiyi Come on, the ends of the two gun heads had already been wrapped with clothes, and now they were being pressed hard by Zhou Yiyi, firmly pressing against the open door leaf!
At the same moment, the two of them also saw clearly the situation on the eighth floor—except for the zombies pushed away by the comrades in the front row, there were at least six or seven zombies swaying in the corridor door, and a corpse with a broken head fell on the door leaf. In the meantime, this is also the reason why the elevator door cannot be closed for a long time. Among these zombies, two were wearing courier uniforms, and the rest were in business or casual attire.
Looking at each other, the zombies finally came to their senses and pounced in the direction of Qi Yan and Zhou Lv!
There were actually five zombies who were pushed by the four people in the front row, but they could only stagger and back away without warning!
When they hit the wall and finally stabilized, they howled instinctively, wishing they could pick up an uninvited guest and eat them immediately!
But the four partners, Luo Geng, He Zhiwen, Huang Mo, and Li Jingyu lowered their already unattractive heights even lower, and squeezed the suitcase tightly against the upper bodies of the five zombies with all their strength. Through the thickness of the suitcase, the mouths of the zombies couldn't chew them at all, and most of the zombies couldn't even pull out their hands!
The zombies trying to jump out from inside the door, without exception, hit the crossbar. Qi Yan and Zhou Lv didn't give them another chance to bend down and come out from below. They kicked the zombies backwards with several kicks Go, even knock down the zombies who want to charge up!
Kuang Ye, Wang Qingyuan, Ma Weisen, Feng Qibai, and Lin Dilei, at the moment when the four-member bulldozer group and the two-person parking pole group separated, they started to accelerate and rushed up for reinforcements!
And like their predecessors, they parted ways at the end of the stairs. Kuang Ye rushed directly to the open corridor door, and immediately buckled the side of the door. Wang, Ma, Feng, and Lin also turned left and rushed towards the bulldozer group of four and five. A battlefield where zombies can't stand!
The moment Qi Yan and Zhou Lu saw Kuang Ye buckle the door, they raised their legs and kicked the most violent kick in history, and at the same time quickly retreated!
Before the zombies inside could react, the door had been tightly shut by Kuang Ye with a bang!
At the same time, Qi Yan and Zhou Lv rushed forward like lightning, and squeezed the door with Kuang Ye, no matter how loud the sound inside you is, knocking on the door, I will stand still!
On the other side, three of the five zombies suppressed by the bulldozers have been eliminated, and Wang Qingyuan, Ma Weisen, Feng Qibai, and Xiao Dilei are attacking the last two!
Song Fei, who was at the back of the hall, made a decisive decision and rushed to the ninth floor with the Three Musketeers of the Physical Academy and Qiao Siqi!
Didn't Qi Yan have no way to make Qiao Siqi and classmate Zhao understand, in fact, it was BF who made the simplicity complicated. In the current situation where overturning the table is just a matter of doing, what else is needed to be silent—
"Qiao Siqi took the key to open the door, Zhao He helped guard the corridor door!!!"
Zhao He and Qiao Siqi almost wanted to cry: "I wish I had shouted like this earlier!!!"
The five comrades rushed up quickly. Song Fei's worst plan was that there were still a few zombies on the ninth floor, but luckily, there were none!
After rushing into the ninth floor, Song Fei, Zhao He, Fu Xiyuan, and Wu Zhou were all guarding the inside of the corridor door, except for Qiao Siqi who went to the anti-theft door to find the key to open the door!
Everything was in place in an instant, Song Fei didn't dare to delay and shouted directly to the comrades below: "Go upstairs—"
In fact, these words were mainly for Qi Yan, Zhou Lv and Kuang Ye. Because the group of four bulldozers rushed up and killed the group of four had already killed the five zombies with high efficiency, just like the classic formation in Plants vs. Zombies-Nut Wall Piranha!
Sure enough, within a few seconds after Song Fei finished shouting, the eight members of the bulldozing, hacking and killing team rushed up to the ninth floor!
Welcoming the eight comrades-in-arms into the door, Song Fei became more and more anxious, and didn't say anything superfluous, just called his name: "Qi Yan—"
Finally, before the end of the sound faded away, the figures of Qi Yan, Kuang Ye, and Zhou Lv appeared at the corner of the stairs.
But with a bang, there were heavy and chaotic footsteps behind them. Obviously without the hindrance of the three of them, the zombies on the eighth floor smashed open the door and came after them!
Fortunately, the three partners were one step faster at last, and they all entered the corridor door safely. Zhao He stretched out his arm, and the corridor door closed in response!
Song Fei immediately turned the knob to lock it, but no matter how much he turned it, he couldn't hear the sound of "da", and the touch of his hand was also unimpeded, as if he could turn it to the end of his life!
"What are you doing?!" Zhao He couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that Song Fei couldn't unscrew a simple lock for a long time.
"The lock is broken—" Song Fei almost yelled, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer drove him crazy.
All the little friends were shocked, and Qiao Siqi made a loud clang, and dropped the key he had just dug out to the ground!
Fu Xiyuan and Wu Zhou were the first to react, and immediately held the doorknob together.
Although I'm not sure if the zombies will press the doorknob to open the door, but if they do, it will be very lively.
Zhao He finally understood, he simply didn't know how to describe his Yu Zu, and thought that if he died in front of the security door of Qiao Siqi's house, it would be an eternal injustice!
Thinking of this, he yelled at Qiao Siqi angrily, "Why are you so slow to open the door—"
Here Qi Yan has already rushed over, hugged Zhao He's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, the number of zombies will not be more than ours, even if they do rush in, we are not afraid."
Qi Yan said every word, calm and powerful, not only to appease Zhao He, but also to tell all comrades in arms.
I don't know if it's because Qi Yan's tone of voice has some kind of magical power, or because what he said is indeed in line with the facts, all the comrades in arms felt instantly settled in their hearts.
…with one exception.
Qiao Siqi pulled out the key that had already been inserted into the keyhole, and looked at his comrades tremblingly, his face pale: "It seems something is wrong..."
The rushing zombies had already started to hit the door, and the madness of the collision made the three musketeers who were holding the door tremble with fear.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that the door is open outwards, and the collision of the zombies helped them close the door instead.
But who knows how long the crumbling door frame can last, if it is smashed together, no matter how you open it, it will be nothing but floating clouds!
Therefore, although the door width is limited and other friends cannot help, they all gather in front of the door to prevent accidents.
Under such circumstances, Joskey's weak call could be ignored.
Fortunately, there is still Mavison who always thinks about him—
"What's wrong, why is it so hard for you to open the door!!!"
Qiao Siqi is a fighting player, and he was sweating coldly just now, but his blood was filled with enthusiasm when he was yelled at like this: "I said that the door is not in the right condition, it is not locked—"
Ma Weisen: "Isn't it better not to lock it, just open it half a turn!"
Qiao Siqi: "But it was locked when I left the house!"
Ma Weisen: "Didn't you invite cleaning to come every week? She must have forgotten when she left—"
Joskey: "...that's right."
Mavison: "Damn!"
Joskey reinserted the key, pushed the door with his body, and decisively unlocked it—this is why he realized that it was not locked. His father changed the lock for him. I guess he was cheated when he bought it. After using it for a short time, the anti-theft lock is still normal, but the main bolt is a little bit stuck, so if it is locked backwards, the first turn will be normal and smooth. It was slippery, and in the last half of the turn, he had to press his body against the door to turn the key, but when he inserted it just now, he found that it couldn't be turned.
While thinking that I have to tell Aunt Cleaning next time that I must remember to lock it when I leave, I opened the anti-theft door...
Bang!
Qiao Siqi almost didn't think about it, and closed the door again, with such force that the sound of slamming the door even overwhelmed the sound of knocking on the door outside the corridor!
"What's the matter!" Seeing that he couldn't intervene, Ma Weisen simply ran over, intending to see for himself what his classmate was up to.
When Qiao Siqi saw him, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw. His whole soul seemed to rush over and tie him in his arms, but his body still held on to the last sliver of duty, pressing against the anti-theft door: "Baobaobaobao—"
Ma Weisen narrowed his eyes, saw the truth from his comrade's face, and immediately rushed to hold the door with Joskey: "Auntie Cleaning? Infected?"
Qiao Siqi nodded first, then immediately shook his head violently!
Ma Weisen collapsed: "What the hell is going on!"
Qiao Siqi finally shouted at his comrades: "Listen to me, there are more than a dozen infected cleaning aunts in the room, don't ask me why I don't know, what should I do now—"
For the first time, the little friend who was blocking the corridor door faced the problem of classmate Qiao’s family. For a while, his scalp felt tingly.
Huang Mo is the only one who gets rid of emotion and gets to the essence.
This is also the first time that the comrades in arms heard her roar like a storm like a little mine: "Then lock the door again—"
