[Master K] The bad one next door

5 minutes.Judging from the current situation, it is indeed a bit too compact.

While running his brain rapidly, Zhenya raised the knife and quickly slashed across the neck of the blood man who was rushing to his side.With the crisp sound of the trachea breaking, a thick liquid splashed out from the opening in the neck, and fragments of bright red flew in the air.

——However, from another perspective, 5 minutes is enough for them to fight hard at the last moment.

The pungent smell of the burning flame penetrated into her nostrils, making her cough uncomfortably.She jumped to the side, and her flanks dangerously brushed the sharp claws of the blood man. After she landed crookedly, she shot the blood man who rushed over before she could stand still.

"boom!"

The red and white brains splashed all over the floor, next to Maya's shoes.Seeing the wet liquid at his feet, Mami took a step back with a pale face, took a deep breath, and kept telling himself in his heart that he must get used to it, and when he felt better, he turned his head and ran towards the elevator .

Although she knew in her heart that these blood-colored creatures were no longer real human beings, they were already dead inside, but no matter how forced by the situation, the guilt of massacring their own kind still accompanied every time she swung a knife, Every time a gun is fired, it breeds in the bottom of my heart.

Maki pursed her lips, and suddenly shook her head forcefully, forcing herself to get these dark thoughts out of her mind.

——Enough, stop thinking about these messy things!

She quickened her pace, raised her gun, and the bullets from the gun knocked down a bloody man who was rushing towards Guangbu not far away.

"...don't be distracted while fighting."

Maki put down the gun slightly, muttering to remind herself.

On the screen of the terminal in his pocket, the number representing the minute jumped forward again.

— 4 minutes left before the power is turned off.

……

Before taking action, Hirobe Shinichi set a code of conduct for himself.

The goal is - the elevator button!

In fact, if you want to measure it, the distance from the current position to the elevator entrance is not a very long distance... 400 meters? 500 meters? 600 meters?Ah, although it is true that it will not be very far away, but...

Hirobe kept thinking about it, kicked his feet on the ground and leaped vigorously, stepping over the blazing flames on the ground.The black smoke filled the air, choking him to tears.He could feel the flames around him and he was in danger, but at this moment all he could do was run forward desperately.

An obscure figure loomed in the swaying flames.When he passed by, there was a "poof", and a scorched black hand suddenly stretched out from the flames, reaching straight to the tip of his nose.Before he could react, the blood-red humanoid creature rushed out of the flames, with sparks behind its body, roaring and rushed towards the top of his head.

"Ow!"

In an instant, Hirobe almost went into cardiac arrest.But the next moment, with a clear gunshot from a distance, a clear line of blood passed through the blood man's temple.Its body froze in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Hirobe hastily stepped aside to avoid stepping on its spilled brains.He hastily turned his head and glanced, and saw that the black-haired girl who had saved him was knocking another bloody man to the ground with the butt of a gun.As if sensing his sight, she raised her head, her clear black eyes looked at him over the flames, anxiously and silently urging him to stop inking.

...Compared to that side, I am indeed too lazy.

The silver-haired boy couldn't help but silently condemned himself.He raised a smile, pressed his fingers on his temples, and saluted the strong man Shinya with a smile, before turning his head and continuing to run towards the elevator buttons.

During this period, many blood men wanted to attack him secretly, but they were all brought down by Yazawa Maya's dark gun before they could touch him.In a short while, the elevator buttons are close at hand.

Even in a battlefield as chaotic as Resident Evil, Shinichi Hirobe's mood brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

—Very good, the roadblock cleared.

——Thank you so much, Yazawa-chan!

Shinichi Hirobe thanked his teammates deeply in his heart.He howled like when the protagonist of the young man made his big move, rushed forward with all his strength, raised his hand, and slapped on the red button.

"Drink!"

There was a crisp "pop", and the signal light came on.

——There are still 3 minutes before the power is turned off.

……

There were obviously more blood men in the hall.

Maya struggled to deal with the blood men pouring in from all directions, glanced at the high corridor from the corner of his eye, and found that more blood men began to pour down the stairs following the breath of blood.By the time she retreated to Hirobe's side and leaned her back against the elevator door, she already felt powerless.

She couldn't help becoming anxious:

"What the hell is going on now?!"

Hirobe held the elevator door, almost crying: "I don't know! Why isn't the elevator coming down?!"

If it had been according to the plan, they should have entered the elevator at this time and leisurely headed to the next floor.

But—yes, but.

——Accident happened.

After Hirobe pressed the elevator button, the elevator door did not open.And because the blood crowd was irritated and attracted by the blood, they had already rushed down the stairs in waves, gathering in their direction.Therefore, when the two martial arts students were caught off guard by sudden changes, they were cornered by the blood crowd in a blink of an eye.

The plan was disrupted in an instant.

Shinya shot off the head of a bloody man who was reaching out, quickly changed the magazine, wiped the blood splattered on his face, and continued to shoot.In the "bang bang bang" gunshots, blood men kept falling down, and more blood men stepped on the corpses of their companions and roared.

Before they knew it, the two had been forced to the door of the elevator, barely forming a narrow defensive circle.

Hirobe bit his thumbnail anxiously: "Damn it, what's going on...... Could it be that the time has passed?!"

Maki bit her lower lip, thought for a while and shook her head: "No, that's not the case."

"... Hirobe-kun, you said earlier that if the elevator power is off, the light should be red. But now it's still green."

really.The lights above the elevator doors were blinking green.

The silver-haired boy looked very confused: "Then..."

Since it did not exceed the time, there must be some other reason.

Thoughts were running fast, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in Mami's mind.

--Could it be that……

"Hey, Mr. Hirobe."

"Ok?"

"Is the situation similar to the current situation when you were waiting for the elevator?"

Hirobe froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand what she was saying for a while.After a long while, his eyes widened slightly, gradually revealing an expression of sudden realization:

"Ah, so it is!"

Although their original plan was based on this situation, in the process of formulating the plan, they ignored an unimportant but unnegligible point-that is, the "law" of elevator operation.

Suppose a person takes the elevator to the 25th floor. If no one else presses the button, the elevator will of course stay on the 25th floor.However, if another person presses the button on the first floor, he has to wait patiently for the elevator to come down from the 25th floor, and there may be other passengers taking the elevator down from other floors in the middle.

In other words, generally speaking, when taking an elevator, "waiting" is an essential link.

"However, although I feel relieved in this regard, but..."

Hirobe murmured and looked up.The bright red was densely packed, and countless blood men crowded together, stretched out their arms and raised their heads, howling, like a wave of corpses in a zombie movie.

"In such a situation, can we really last until the elevator comes down?"

When he said this with a wry smile——

——There are still 2 minutes before the power is turned off.

……

In the beginning, the two of them were able to chat and laugh during the battle, but later on, they gradually stopped talking, and could only stay silent and focus on defending against the blood man in front of them.

Too much.

The number is simply too many.

The blood men kept coming in like a tide, and no matter how many were cut off, more blood men would swarm in, as if there was no end to it.Maya's bullets have all been used up, and in the end he can only pick up a jackknife to fight reluctantly.As she raised the knife, she felt her arms getting heavier, her sweaty hair sticking to her eyes, and even her vision began to gradually blur.

Under the current situation, Shinya doesn't even have the energy to think about questions such as "Can I really hold on?" "Why isn't the elevator coming?"When she swung the knife again and again, looking at the dazzling blood red, she felt dizzy and nauseated continuously in her throat.

How long has it been?

Can not remember.

In other words, time can no longer be measured in units.

Every second feels like a whole day.In the gradually chaotic thinking, there is only one thing that the body can do mechanically repeatedly.

--continuously.Almost numbly.

cut.cut.cut.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Hirobe swung his saber crookedly, giving the eager blood man an opportunity.It raised its head, and was about to bite Hirobe's neck with a groan, but was cut off by Mami who was beside him in an instant.

A silver light flashed across the ground, and the blood-red head separated from the broken neck and flew out.At the same time, Maya, who neglected to defend on his side, was scratched by another blood man and broke his shoulder.With the crisp sound of cloth being broken, bright red liquid sprayed out from the wound.Mami's pupils shrank slightly, and with a muffled snort, he covered his shoulders, turned sideways, gritted his teeth, and chopped off the blood man.

The blood quickly soaked through the material of the red coat, and snaked down Mami's fair fingers, dripping onto the tiles on the ground, mixing with the minced meat and blood of other blood men, which looked shocking.Seeing this, Hirobe couldn't help widening his eyes anxiously:

"Ya, Yazawa-chan...!"

"I'm fine." Mami stared straight ahead, endured the stinging pain from her shoulder, and gripped the handle of the knife tightly, "Hirobe-kun, please be careful. There are more and more of them."

When she was speaking, several blood men opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards the two fiercely.Shinya was about to raise his knife to block, but suddenly heard a soft "ding" sound coming from behind him.

In the midst of the noise, the voice was so soft that it was difficult for anyone to detect it, and Shinya almost thought he had heard it wrong.However, in the next second, with a familiar rumbling sound, her back lost support in an instant.

--……Huh? !

With nothing behind him, the center of gravity of the body shifted immediately.Before she could react, she involuntarily fell backwards.The sound of the wind whizzed by.Mami watched helplessly as the blood man's claws brushed against the tip of her nose, and the blowing wind made her break out in a cold sweat unknowingly.

"boom!"

In the next second, Maki's back hit an iron plate hard, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

"what……"

She gritted her teeth, barely propped herself up on the ground, covered her injured shoulder, and turned her head to look dully.What came into view was the bright iron compartment, and the place where she was lying was the floor of the compartment.

--this is……

"Yazawa-chan!"

Hirobe rushed in front of her with a stride, raised his knife to block the howling blood man who was rushing towards her, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Why are you in a daze! Get into the elevator quickly!"

"Ah... yes, yes!"

Mami was taken aback for a moment, nodded quickly in response, stood up, turned around and rushed into the elevator.She hung her hand over the key to close the door, turned her head and shouted: "Mr. Hirobe!"

"I see!"

Hirobe gritted his teeth, held the knife firmly, and managed to get away from the blood man who kept waving his claws.He stepped back hastily and entered the elevator.Maya didn't hesitate any longer, and tapped the door close button without hesitation.

After the crisp sound of "ding", accompanied by the loud sound of "rumbling", the elevator door began to close little by little.

Seeing that the prey was about to flee, the blood men rushed towards the door unwillingly. Fortunately, there were too many blood men, and because of the disorderly rush, they were all squeezed into the crack of the door. Can't get in.

Under the forceful squeeze of the elevator door, the sound of "creaking and creaking" bones breaking could be heard from the crowded blood crowd in the crack of the door. From time to time, blood spurted out "puchipuchi" and splashed on the floor and walls of the elevator.Shinya and Hirobe stood there blankly, watching this cruel scene, their throats tightened.

"Hoohoo!"

"Ooooooooo!"

The blood man stuck in the elevator door flailed his arms wildly, raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and let out a gurgling roar from his throat.The door gap became narrower and the blood people became less and less, and finally the elevator was completely closed.

Everything fell silent.The elevator began to rise slowly.

The two of them stared at the mess in the elevator in silence.After a while, Hirobe turned his head and smiled at Mami: "... Anyway, I finally escaped, that's great."

"……Um."

Mami nodded silently.She escaped successfully, but for some reason, she didn't feel the joy and excitement she imagined, only a kind of indescribable numbness and melancholy.

She found a corner of the elevator and sat down, curled up and hugged her knees.

Miya looked around silently.In the narrow elevator room, viscous bloody liquid was continuously dripping from the walls.Drop by drop, it melted into the pool of blood on the ground.

In front of the elevator door, a piece of bloodshot minced meat was wriggling.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the elevator shook slightly and stopped.Hirobe stood up, staring at the door, and murmured solemnly:

"I don't know what's going on outside."

--really.The blood men on the first floor alone are already so dangerous, and I don't know what will happen on the second floor.

Maki silently agreed from the bottom of her heart.The wound on the shoulder has gradually stopped bleeding.She was about to stand up when suddenly, a palm was stretched out in front of her.

Maki raised her head in surprise.Hirobe Shinichi was looking at her with a smile: "How, can you stand up? I can kindly learn from Lei Feng and give you a hand."

Maki was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.She nodded, grabbed Hirobe's hand, and stood up with strength: "Thank you."

Hirobe withdrew his hand and scratched his head: "Well, since Yazawa-chan was hurt because of my recklessness, I have to express it anyway, right? So don't be so polite."

Although Hirobe usually seems to be doing nothing, he still seems to blame himself for his mistakes.Maki shook her head and said gently: "It's not Hirobe-kun's fault. Please don't mind this matter anymore."

Hirobe turned his head, looked at her for a while, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the familiar "boom" sound in front of him.The two were taken aback for a moment, then turned their heads quickly, and cast their gazes at the gradually opening elevator door.

A bright light came in from the slightly enlarged crack in the door.As the elevator door opened little by little, the area covered by the light became larger and larger, and the tip of the iceberg on the second floor began to catch the eyes of the two.

...The moment they saw the scene outside the door, the two were stunned.

After a while, Guangbu murmured in disbelief, "This is..."

Maki was so surprised that she could barely make a sound.

Outside the elevator door, there are walls on both sides, and there is only a wide aisle leading to the distance.

What was in front of him was a chaotic scene like a garbage dump.

The aisle is full of machine wreckage, lying on the ground in disorder, and the prototype of the robot can only be seen after careful identification.The wires in the robot's body were roughly torn off and thrown aside, and even the body was penetrated and twisted by an extremely strange force.Obviously, no matter what their attitude was before, they are now just a pile of scrap iron.

Hirobe stepped out of the elevator, looked at the black marks that had been burned like fire on the snow-white wall, and sighed: "Amazing, who the hell is going to cause such great damage?"

Mami didn't say a word.She walked to a piece of wreckage in silence, and stretched out her hand to gently explore a wound.This piece of wreckage was penetrated by something with a brutal force, leaving only a palm-sized hollow, the structure inside has been destroyed badly, only the exposed wound still glows with a faint red light.When Shinya's fingers touched the wound, she felt a familiar wave of energy.

Warm.hot.

—but with a strange, irrepressible tyranny.

Maya subconsciously withdrew her hand, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

This feeling is——

"...Misaki."

Hirobe turned his head in doubt: "Huh?"

Mami raised her head and looked at him blankly, the expression in her black eyes had been replaced by bewilderment and heavy worry.

"It was Misaki who defeated these robots." Maki replied word by word.She lowered her head, looked at the wreckage in a daze, and murmured in a low voice:

"but why……"

——Why did his power go out of control to such an extent?
