after the end

They bought some tools and materials, but the plan was shelved, and they hurriedly blocked it with ordinary bricks. They happened to break through the weakest part of the wall.

There seemed to be a very wide space below. Ye Xiu picked up a piece of gravel and weighed it. With a wave of his arm, he threw the small stone out. After a few crisp impacts, there was a muffled sound.

"Obstacle?" Ye Xiu murmured, holding the divine weapon Que Xie in his hand to act as a guide stick, with the tail pointing down and tapping the ground as he moved forward.

This hidden space occupies an area of ​​about one or two gymnasiums, with many layers of shelves tightly arranged, and the interval between the shelves can only allow one person to walk sideways.Each shelf may be more than two meters high, and Ye Xiu needs to raise his arms to reach the top, but the shelves are not full of things, except for a few elevated shelves where cigarettes and alcohol are placed, the others are mostly empty.He also found a handful of ashes and found a small searchlight that was barely usable.

There was a wall next to the shelf, and he felt the built-in hidden keyhole on it, and there were no traces of seams on the wall without looking carefully.Ye Xiu directly used the spear to destroy it, and when he opened it, he found that it was all guns, guns, etc. Needless to say, he even saw some large-scale weapons that would only be seen in the war against the city.Dozens of barrels of gasoline are neatly stacked inside the wall—good stuff!

Ye Xiu inspected the items, but the guide stick stuck to the ground came across a lot of slippery things. He raised his hand and took a light to take a picture, and found that they were empty bags of heating food bags, and plastic bags for compressing biscuits. bags, empty water bottles, etc.

These foods with excessive preservatives can be stored for longer than the expiration date printed on the packaging. On the contrary, they are the resources that many people fight for and rely on in the early days of the end of the world.

It seems that this place was originally a temporary shelter.

If the storage is estimated by just filling the shelves, the food that can be stacked, if you live frugally, it will not be a problem for dozens of people to live for a few months.

There was a pile of large cloth bags with a disgusting smell on the other side of the wall. Ye Xiu contemplated for a while, and stepped forward to push Xie away one by one.

As he walked deeper and deeper, the stench became stronger and stronger, to the point where it could easily stun a group of small sentinels.The ground under his feet was no longer flat, but instead seemed to be stepping on a pile of greasy and soft debris.

Ye Xiu took only two steps, then immediately stepped back and turned the manual rocker on the side of the searchlight for power generation.

The lights came on, illuminating the scene in front of them with dazzling light.

Ye Xiu raised the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"It seems that there is no need to look for it, everyone is here."

There were all corpses on the ground.

Dozens or hundreds of them, including those of ordinary people, sentries, and even guides, piled up into a hill at the corner.The difference is that the heads of ordinary people and sentinels have been dug up, and the crystal nuclei inside have disappeared, while the corpses of guides who will not turn into zombies are barely intact.

It's a pity that no matter what kind, the wounds on their bodies don't look like scratches or bites after being attacked by zombies.Even though the corpse had been dead for too long and it was difficult to judge the original state of corruption, it was obvious that it was all caused by man-made weapons.There are various scars, and the walls and iron frames next to them are also full of traces of excessive attacks. On the contrary, they seem to be mad at each other and attack each other.

At the top of the mountain of corpses is a narrow ventilation hole inlaid on the wall. The iron netting above has been violently damaged, and it hangs askew on one side, with a dark brown trail extending outward.

The thing that crawled out, if it bleeds so much blood, it must not be alive.

Or, someone came in before them and harvested the pile of zombies?But they left behind this pile of rewards that could be exchanged for a lot of credits, and they didn't even bring gasoline and weapons.

If not... How could ordinary zombies have the IQ to climb ventilation ducts?

"What a terrible feeling..."

Ye Xiu went down for a while before climbing up again.

Still in the shape of a luminous deep-sea fish, with a pack of cigarettes in his mouth, two packs stuffed in his arms, and a searchlight in his hand, his body is covered in dust, his face is stained with dirt, and he is still stained. Slightly stale corpse smell.

Su Muqiu pulled the man out and patted the ashes for him. Ye Xiu probed into Su Muqiu's clean collar and wiped his face. Standing aside in a rascally manner, he picked up the pack of cigarettes in his mouth and lit up a cigarette, with a face full of nothing to do with himself.

"There are quite a lot of things down there. Apart from what you can smell from your dog's nose, there is also a whole wall of weapons, gasoline, and a small amount of food." Ye Xiu shook the cigarette in his hand, but the silver-white ash did not fall. "They are all luxuries. Even if you can only draw a part of the credits as a reward for handing over the base, considering the quantity and the current market price, it can make Xiaoan jump several levels, like Wang Dayan, who wants to get out of the tower and then gets out of the tower."

The few people didn't jump up and cheer happily, because Ye Xiu's face was not as optimistic as his tone.

After Ye Xiu went down, every few minutes he sent Su Muqiu a relaxed mood through the link that he was fine, so Su Muqiu saw that his expression was not good at the moment, and was a little worried that something big happened to the other party, so he chose to hide it by himself.

Su Muqiu clasped Ye Xiu's wrist, staring at those unhappy black eyes.

"What else is there next?" Su Muqiu asked, his tone was tough and he could not refuse.

Ye Xiu patted Su Muqiu lightly with his backhand, without struggling, and smiled indifferently.

"Dead people. Mountains and seas of dead people."

"..."

"Are you scared?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Su Muqiu shook his head, "Other than that?"

"...there was a vent inside that was pried open and something crawled out."

Jiang Botao immediately took out the paper that had been carefully folded, and it turned out to be a hand-drawn simple structure diagram.

"I have traveled quite a lot with Guide An. In addition to copying a copy of the floor introduction on the wall, I also added some extras." Jiang Botao said. Ye Xiu took the paper and quickly scanned it, "I wanted to go back After arriving at Xingxin Tower, hand it over to the person who recovered the resources, and now it seems that it may come in handy."

Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu got together, and based on Ye Xiu's memory and description, they calculated the possible direction of the thing that crawled out.

Just as the two of them were surprised to find that they might still be in the store after walking around for a long time, and when they had finalized the approximate location, Ye Xiu suddenly got a shock and looked up in a certain direction.

There, described as an invisible map constructed by mental power, it is like a huge, bright red X mark suddenly appearing, poking hard on the paper, so red that it can bleed.

If it can pass through the wall in a straight line, it is exactly the place he and Su Muqiu have decided on.

An Wenyi also looked over there, but his expression was hesitant.

"...Xiao An," Ye Xiu said calmly, "What did you find?"

An Wenyi hesitated, and clenched his fists: "It seems... there are strange mental fluctuations. But I'm not strong enough, so I don't feel very clear."

"Where will Xiao Tang go for the final confirmation today?" Su Muqiu asked suddenly.

Several people looked at each other, the air seemed to be condensed.

Everyone has an answer.

Ye Xiu pondered, "Xiao Tang's situation may not be good..."

He looked at Su Muqiu.

Su Muqiu nodded with a serious expression, "Let's go find her."

An Wenyi and Jiang Botao had no objection, immediately took their things and followed Su Muqiu and Ye Xiu, and the four of them ran towards the direction that gave Ye Xiu an extremely bad feeling.

The silence along the way was terrible, not only that they didn't make a sound, but also that the zombies that swayed out from time to time to deliver crystal nuclei yesterday were all gone, and the footsteps echoed in the vast store, creating the illusion that they were the only ones left in the world.

"Wait, maybe there will be a tough battle to fight." Ye Xiu broke the silence and said, "Check Xiaotang's condition first, and I don't need to tell you about the rest."

Su Muqiu explained a few more words, "Self-protection is the first priority. Even if something happens and the group is in crisis, don't look back. Leave here and go back to the tower to tell the proprietress and Xiaoqiu to block this area. The car key is in the on the splint."

"Hey wait, what about me?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course you're staying with me... the end." Su Muqiu answered casually, then turned to An Wenyi and Jiang Botao, and repeated in a calm voice, "Remember, go back immediately. If even us I can't bear it, you are just adding heads to the zombies."

The two people behind did not make a sound, and they did not know whether they had heard it or not.Fortunately, they knew Jiang Botao's character, he usually had a smile on his face, but he always knew what he should do. If Su Muqiu and Ye Xiu really fell out, he would take An Wenyi away even if he knocked him out.

When they arrived at the performance hall on the top floor, Su Muqiu gave each other half a minute to adjust, grabbed his gun, and kicked open the door first.

Ye Xiu, who followed closely behind, had a headache, but it passed quickly, and he didn't think much about it—because he saw Tang Rou.Ye Xiu swung his black spear, and with an invincible aura, rushed in before Su Muqiu.

Before the end of the world, many stores have set up various exhibition halls or cultural areas in order to increase the number of items to attract customers and improve their style, and this store is no exception.The newly built exhibition hall was very empty, the windows were wide open, and the ventilation was good. From the dusty walls, it was not difficult to find that the interior decoration was extravagant and exquisite—but there was nothing inside, so Ye Xiu saw Tang Rou at a glance, and he happened to catch it. The female sentinel who fell down on the spot suddenly looked at the figure at the end of the exhibition hall.

It is not right to say that it is a human being.

It was a zombie that roughly maintained the appearance of a 'human'.

The zombie looked thin and weak, with no obvious signs of alienation such as sharp claws or fangs. Its face and between its fingers and claws were covered with black dried blood, and the hem of its wide clothes was the same. Ye Xiu sized it up. for its size
