clock trap

"Don't fucking worry about others, show me your hand." Yu Sen grabbed Si Xuanyang's elbow.

"It's not a big deal..." Si Xuanyang took a step back in resistance.

"What? What's wrong?" Si Nan leaned over nervously, seeing the bloodstain on the back of Si Xuanyang's hand, his face instantly became ugly, "Yangyang! Have you been caught by a zombie?"

"Ah... I was caught by accident, it's okay, we're here, there's still enough time." Si Xuanyang spoke first, without mentioning the matter of saving people.

"Fucking zombies!" Si Nan cursed secretly with his head down.

Why not tell the truth?Yu Sen was a little confused, staring at Si Xuanyang's eyes, but the latter quickly looked away and withdrew his hand: "Let's go up quickly too."

The man who set the fire had already entered the elevator, and the numbers on the display kept rising.

A man and a woman next to him didn't dare to stay here any longer. Although there was a fire blocking them, who knew that the number of zombies attracted was increasing, and they would finally break through this line of defense.The girl helped the burned boy, without looking at Yu Sen and the others, and went directly into another elevator.

"Let's go!" Yu Sen helped Si Xuanyang's shoulder. If you look carefully, you can see that Si Xuanyang's face is gradually turning pale, and around the wound on the back of his hand, the purple-black bloodshot is becoming more and more obvious. And like a vine, it is constantly spreading upward along the arm.

Two of the four elevators in the company lobby were empty. Yu Sen and the others entered one of them. Just as they were about to press the door closing button, there was a loud roar from far to near.

Immediately afterwards, a black heavy motorcycle rushed through the fire and fell heavily into the lobby.

The motorcycle slid sideways, and the car hit the front desk with a loud 'bang' and was smashed to pieces. The people on the car were thrown away by the impact when they broke in, and rolled on the ground a few times like sandbags. Just rolled to Yu Sen's elevator door.

"Luo Yu!?" Si Nan exclaimed.

The people on the ground were scarred and stained with blood, their clothes were ragged, and their hair was burned by the flames. They lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

From the looks of it, it was Luo Yu, the motorcycle riding student they first met when they came to this world.

Yu Sen frowned: "Hurry up and drag him in, let's go!"

He held Si Xuanyang's wrist firmly, but no matter how tightly he held it, he could clearly feel the temperature in his palm losing irreversibly and quickly, gradually becoming cold like a piece of ice, and the icy temperature was still spreading .

Nothing could go wrong.

"I'm fine, don't worry too much." Perhaps sensing his nervousness, Si Xuanyang smiled with difficulty.

"Don't laugh, it's so ugly." Yu Sen glanced at him, his face was already as white as a piece of paper, and the pain must be self-evident. How can a person who is usually so irritable be so able at this time? endured?

"How...how do you feel now?" Yu Sen asked hesitantly.

"Well... To be honest, it's a bit hot and cold," Si Xuanyang closed his eyes hard, sweat dripping from his eyelashes, "others are fine."

Yu Sen pursed his lips and said nothing, and he didn't quite believe what he said.

Si Nan quickly dragged Luo Yu into the elevator, and pressed down on the top floor - the 43rd floor.

It was probably just a short shock. After being dragged into the elevator, Luo Yu suddenly coughed a few times. He coughed until his lungs were almost blown out, and then he stopped slowly. risk.

"Luo Yu, are you still awake?" Si Nan held the rebar with a nervous expression.

"Sober, sober... I'm still a human being," Luo Yu smiled wryly, her voice a little hoarse, "You saved me? My benefactor, oh my god, I'm so lucky, I'll definitely repay you when I go back... ..."

"Let's go back and talk about it first. You have a lot of injuries, are they all caught by zombies?"

"Some were hit, and some were hit by motorcycles." Luo Yu said weakly.

"Then can you still hold on?" Si Nan looked worried, "Don't turn into a zombie too quickly, I will have a psychological burden if I kill you."

"Don't worry, I've counted the time," Luo Yu wiped off the sweat from his forehead with shaking hands, "If you hadn't been rescued by you, my chances of life would be very high, but it's all up to the elevator, so there shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's good, how do you feel now?"

"It hurts! It hurts too much!" Luo Yu's eyes were red as if stained with blood. "The wound scratched by the zombie hurts too much, like a needle prick. I never pulled out teeth before!"

Yu Sen's hand holding Si Xuanyang's wrist tightened suddenly.

"...You are really a good metaphor," Si Nan answered dryly, then shook Si Xuanyang's uninjured hand vigorously, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Luo Yu's eyes , hesitated, rubbed his hair that had been scorched by the fire, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay...it will be fine soon."

Si Xuanyang raised his eyelids, glanced at Si Nan's actions with some disapproval, and then secretly glanced at Yu Sen's expressionless and icy face. The two were leaning against the elevator wall together, very close to each other. The blood in his body surged and he was so uncomfortable that Si Xuanyang didn't bother to keep his distance.

His tone was very light, as if he had no strength: "Are you jealous?"

Yu Sen squinted at him: "Finally started gossiping when you are about to die?"

"Damn!" Si Nan only heard the last sentence clearly, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother Yu, don't curse my brother! He won't die!"

"Hmph," Yu Sen twitched the corner of his mouth, "I won't let him die either."

If he really died, wouldn't he just take an innocent life on his back for the rest of his life?

Besides... such a fun brother, it's more interesting to be alive.

When he thought that Si Xuanyang might turn into a soulless walking dead like a zombie, he felt uncontrollable panic and panic in his heart.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look very good." Si Xuanyang leaned his head against the wall, and the angle just fell on Yu Sen's face. It shouldn't be good to look at people like this, he knew in his heart.

But now that he was injured by the zombies, his body has changed, and moving more is consuming energy. Thinking this way and making excuses, the always awkward feeling in his heart was digested by his self-brainwashing.

Yu Sen closed his eyes and sighed, rubbed his heart: "I think I might have a heart attack from being frightened, and I have to go to the hospital to register after I go out."

Si Xuanyang: "..." Damn drama!

The speed of the elevator is very fast, and the 43rd floor arrives in a blink of an eye.

Yu Sen's panic hadn't calmed down yet, and he raised his crossbow vigilantly at the slowly opening elevator door.

He froze when he saw the scene outside the elevator.

The man who went upstairs first after setting the fire was lying on the ground with his head smashed like a puddle of mud.

As for a man and a woman who came up by another elevator, the girl turned her back to Yu Sen and the others, kneeling on the ground, extremely depressed.

In front of her was the still fresh corpse of her companion, but the neck was almost bitten off, and the bright red blood gushed out together with the minced meat, slowly converging into a thick pool of blood.

"It's that man. He was bitten too early, and he probably turned into a zombie in the elevator." Si Xuanyang's eyes were a little sad.

"You won't become like that." Yu Sen said with certainty.

He glanced at the couple, a man and a woman who were supposed to be lovers. They were unprepared when the elevator opened, and the boy was killed by the person who turned into a zombie. The girl was also injured and had not yet transformed.

The entire floor of the 43rd floor is a large laboratory. Compared with the rough wasteland world outside, the inside is so clean and precise that it doesn’t seem like the same space. It is surrounded by cold test benches and various Glass jars and instruments.

"The console in the middle! Isn't that green water in the test tube!" Si Nan saw it with sharp eyes.

"go!"

Yu Sen supported Si Xuanyang, when passing by that girl, Si Xuanyang's eyes fell on her lightly, with some sadness and intolerance, but he didn't say anything.

Tsk!Soft-hearted people are so troublesome!

Yu Sen pouted, handed him over to Si Nan, and knelt down to take a closer look at the girl.

Well, it's true that I haven't transformed into a zombie yet, my body and mind are awake, and I can still be saved, so it doesn't hurt to enlighten me.

"It's come this far, are you willing to die together like this?"

The girl didn't move.

"I don't say anything about whether your boyfriend wants you to live. After all, in my perception, death is death. All thoughts and souls will be wiped out. There are not so many myths and fairy tales. I will watch you in the sky, and I will not wait for you at Naihe Bridge."

The girl raised her head stiffly, her eyes bloodshot with resentment.

Yu Sen ignored her, and said to himself: "But if you die together, all the things he experienced in it, pain, adventure, bravery, and the way he tried his best to live... there will be no one. People remember."

"In the real world, he may have died suddenly or disappeared in the eyes of others, but all his real experiences in the last days of his life have been buried in this place."

The girl's expression became stunned.

It's useless to say more, Yu Sen stood up, and left the last sentence with a cold expression: "Then it's better...you try to survive and help him remember these things."

He turned around, and Si Xuanyang was holding three test tubes, and was looking at him from two steps away. He wondered if it was because of his physical exhaustion, but his gaze was as soft as a cloud of white clouds.

"An antidote has been found."

Yu Sen left one of the reagents beside the girl, and drank the other three together with Si Xuanyang, Si Nan, and Luo Yu.

The cold liquid slowly flowed down his throat into his body, and Yu Sen's head was gradually in a trance, as if the building suddenly became transparent. He stepped on the air and saw the wall clock appear again. At the end of the road below, thousands of Zombies rushed in like a dirty tide, piling up from the ground floor, like a rotten city wall.

Above the clear sky, the sun's brilliance poured down like molten lava, like the overwhelming splendor of the last doomsday, melting the whole world.

Yu Sen closed his eyes, and his consciousness returned to darkness.
