The Midnight Owl

The zombies wandering in the dark, agitated by the sound of the explosion, crazily rushed up the viaduct at an unimaginable speed, but only had time to puff a wisp of gunpowder smoke.

The howling of the zombies gathered on the bridge made the deserted place under the bridge even more contrasting.

The Beetle, who had just experienced the moment of life and death, stopped quietly in the middle of the path, blowing the night wind, thinking about the car.

"Ding--"

The crisp prompt sound sounds intimately.

The three dazed partners in the back row immediately raised their arms to check.

<Small copy paper>: The purple air comes from the south, like a god's help, the ghost gate is locked before the gate of the ghost, and the road of peace is under the safety talisman.

"What does this mean?" Qian Ai could recognize every word, and it seemed to read smoothly, but he couldn't understand it at all.

"The ghost door lock before the ghost gate closes, it should mean the explosion just now, we are going home soon, but we escaped from death at the last moment." Xu Wang stared at the second half of the small note, frowning, "But this is safe. symbol……"

"Let's hide the easter egg," Wu Sheng guessed tentatively, "It may be that we have inadvertently completed some side plot, just like giving Shen Yisi a blanket on a red-eye flight, saving a chance to renew his life, and when life and death are at stake, it will be automatically triggered .”

"The problem is that on our journey, apart from killing zombies, we just killed each other with our colleagues. We didn't do anything good?" Xu Wang summed up the record realistically.

Kuang Jinxin: "Could it be sending Ding Xiaoche home?"

Ding Xiaoche, that is, the driver of the Beetle, likes his name very much, so he must remember Amway and them repeatedly.

Xu Wang thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was the only possibility left...Huh?Who was talking just now?

He raised his head suddenly, with a fair and round face, eyes as clear as a clear autumn day, who else could be there except classmate Kuang.

The teammate, who didn't know when he woke up, turned around and grabbed the back of the co-pilot's seat, completely unaware that he was about to go home, and seamlessly integrated into the "team discussion".

"You're finally awake!" Qian Ai thanked God with a face full of gratitude, but soon became worried again, leaning over and asking like a cannonball, "Do you feel any discomfort, headache and brain fever? Numbness in limbs? Chest tightness and shortness of breath? Cold hands and feet?"

Xu looked at the black line: "Are you concerned or are you cursing?"

"I'm fine," Kuang Jinxin scratched his head embarrassingly, as if he felt a little ashamed of his concern for his teammates, "I feel like I fell asleep, and I'm not too sleepy now, and I feel refreshed."

Qian Ai: "..."

Kuang Jinxin didn't try to be brave, and he could tell that his complexion was pale and rosy, his eyes were piercing, and he was indeed full of vitality.

But just because he could see it, Qian Ai's mood was even more complicated.

"The main reason is that you protect well." Xu Wang patted Qian on the shoulder, conveying some comfort.

Qian Ai resigned to his fate, but still slapped Kuang Jinxin on the head angrily: "Next time I meet someone who looks like a psycho, stay away."

"Oh," Kuang Jinxin should have responded, but there were still various flashbacks about Chi Yingxue in his head, "Why did he have to die with me?"

Qian Ai was speechless: "If you can figure it out, you won't be called a lunatic."

Seeing that Kuang Jinxin was fine, Wu Sheng got out of the car and changed to the driver's seat.

The Beetle didn't turn off the engine after landing, but the gear was in the park gear. I wonder if it was the last bit of conscience left by Shi San Lang who escaped midway.

Wu Sheng fastened his seat belt, put it in forward gear, and lightly stepped on the accelerator.

"Cock!"

It sounded like the internal parts of a car were snapped apart.

The Beetle gave a slight shake and turned off the flame completely.

Wu Sheng was baffled, there was nothing wrong with his operation, it was fine to fall off the bridge, but as soon as he got started, he gave up.

As if he heard the doubts in his heart, the two-channel stereo sounded in the Beetle——

[Soul out of body mode, start. 】

Wu Sheng: "..."

"What's the sound?" Xu Wang was still talking to Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin, so he didn't realize it for a while.

Wu Sheng turned around: "The car won't move anymore."

Xu Wang: "Didn't it be fine just now?"

"This is a Beetle with a soul," Wu Sheng never thought that he would be so poetic one day, "Now, the soul has ascended to heaven."

Xu Wang: "..."

"There seems to be a 4S store over there." Kuang Jinxin looked out the car window, and there was a towering car billboard in the distance. The building below was not clear, but the car logo on the door was shining silver under the moonlight.

Qian Ai took out his mobile phone to check the time: "It's too late to find the car."

Kuang Jinxin: "That can't just be wasted here."

Qian Ai: "You're fully revived now, right? Do you know how the three of us broke out from the amusement park... No, why are you staring at me with such big eyes?"

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qian Ai: "Okay, go to the 4S store to find a car!"

At some point, Qian Ai felt that Kuang Jinxin was invincible. Wu Sheng wanted to kill with his eyes, but he had to use stationery. Classmate Kuang had his own innate skill of "righteous death gaze", which was invincible and directly tortured your soul.

For going to the 4S store, Wu Sheng and Xu Wang all agreed.

Although the submission of papers is slim, but after all, he was saved by the safety talisman, so the extra time gained cannot be wasted, there is no harm in exploring the way more.

The distribution of zombies will change every day, but the map of the city will not.

Stepping into the night, the four of them avoided the main road and made a detour to the front of the 4S shop from the path.

The door of the shop was wide open, there was no light or sound, and it was quiet and dark inside. There were stains on the floor-to-ceiling glass, like blood, but it was too dark to distinguish clearly.

"Be careful." Wu Sheng led the charge with the bazooka on his shoulders, and walked slowly into the store, with almost no sound under his feet.

Xu Wang followed closely behind with a thunderbolt gun.

Kuang Jinxin lost the scythe he exchanged with Wu Sheng on the Ferris wheel, and now he is holding Qian Ai's screwdriver.

Qian Ai took the chainsaw and walked at the back of the hall. He wanted to give the chainsaw to Kuang Jinxin, but he said that it was too cruel to use.

Qian Ai, who was stabbed in the heart, wished to turn back time at that moment, at least his unconscious teammates would be a little cuter.

Inside the 4S store, it was a mess. By the moonlight, you could see the documents and model lists all over the floor, and the sofa and coffee table for customers to rest were also crumbling here and there.

The vehicle display booths are basically empty, except for a white car left alone in the corner.

The four of them tiptoed to the side of the vehicle, Wu Sheng reached out to close the door and gently pulled it.

locked.

Wu Sheng looked at the empty booths again, and said in a low voice, "We're not the first to come here looking for a car."

Xu Wang understood what he meant: "If the other cars can be driven away, the key of this car must be here too."

"Time is running out," Wu Sheng said. "We'll be in groups of two, and we'll search separately. If we encounter zombies, we'll fight them if we can. If we can't, we'll just run away. Try to keep the movement to a minimum so as not to attract more."

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin nodded together: "Understood."

Xu Wang swallowed, and raised his thunderbolt gun: "As long as I start fighting, it's hard for me to keep a low profile."

Wu Sheng gave him a hard look: "Then you just stand still and leave the zombie to me."

Xu Wang glanced at his bazooka complicatedly: "Are you sure your weapon is 'gentle'?"

"You don't have to use weapons to fight zombies," Wu Sheng raised his index finger and tapped his head lightly, "You can also outsmart them."

Xu Wang: "..."

There is no need to deliberately group, who is matched with whom seems to be a natural default, only the area needs to be divided.

It is basically impossible for things like keys to be placed in the lobby, so the focus is on the office area.Xu Wang and Wu Sheng are in charge of the office area on the first floor, while Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin are in charge of the second floor.

After watching his teammates go upstairs, Wu Sheng asked Xu Wang, "Where do you want to start?"

Xu Wang didn't hesitate at all: "The bathroom."

Wu Sheng: "..."

Xu Wang looked at his military adviser with the eyes of a "comer here", "Think about where we got the primitive weapons, believe me, 'Owl' has a fascinated attachment to the place where the five grains reincarnate."

Wu Sheng: "So there will be a salesman hiding the car keys in the toilet tank on purpose?"

Xu Wang: "Why are you so stupid, can't you be a salesman with a key, get bitten while going to the bathroom, and then hang around in the bathroom forever, just waiting for the passer-by to find out?"

"..." The argument is clear and the evidence is clear, Wu Sheng actually thinks it makes sense.

Xu is for the convenience of customers, the restroom is at the junction of the office area and the front hall, very close to the stairs where the two of them are, and they can be seen from a glance. The decoration is low-key, luxurious and connotative.

The two woke up their spirits and approached him quietly.

The closer you get, the more clearly you can hear what's going on inside.

Tick.

Tick.

The restroom is designed with men on the left and women on the right, and the sound of dripping water is on the left. In the silence of the night, it is particularly cool.

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng exchanged glances, the latter took out his mobile phone and quietly turned on the flashlight.

Side by side, the two entered the men's restroom on the left.

There was no moonlight, and the bathroom was very dark, Wu Sheng first used the flashlight to explore the way.

There is nothing in front of the washbasin, only a handbasin seems to be blocked, the water is overflowing, and the faucet is not tightened, which is the source of the ticking sound.

The two crossed the sink and finally came to the bathroom.

This is a long, narrow area with urinals on one side and cubicles on the other.

Wu Sheng held Xu Wang back to prevent him from going any further, then raised his mobile phone, and shot it all the way to the end of the long and narrow bathroom.

At the end, a man in a suit, with his back to them, was squatting facing the wall, gnawing on something.

Judging by his attire, he should be a salesperson.

But looking at this posture, it is easy to talk and discuss basically does not exist.

Wu Sheng nodded slightly at Xu Wang.

Xu Wang understood, and by the light of the phone's flashlight, he said to the other party in a very low voice: "Hi."

The gnawing sound stopped.

The zombie in the suit maintained his squatting posture and turned his head slowly.

The ferocious blue face, the blood-smeared mouth, and the pure black eyes receded, but they were not the deep red or blood red of the zombies in the south of the city, but a light red film on the white background.

"Tell me, if I ask him where the key is, will he understand?"

Xu Wang lowered his voice so low that it was barely audible.

However, it seemed that they were captured. The zombies in suits slowly stood up, turned around, and faced them completely.

Xu Wang's scalp went numb.

Wu Sheng also felt nauseated.

The zombie didn't hold anything in its hand, what it gnawed was its own arm.

When he was terrified, the zombies in suits rushed over suddenly, without any warning, at an extremely fast speed, and threw Wu Sheng down in one fell swoop!

Wu Sheng didn't even see how it got here, the bazooka and the phone were thrown and fell to the ground nearby!

The zombie held down Wu Sheng, opened its mouth and gnawed at his face!

Wu Sheng didn't care about the weapon anymore, grabbed the zombie's neck with both hands, and pushed it out with all his strength, but the zombie was so strong that after two or three seconds of stalemate, Wu Sheng couldn't hold it anymore!

The bazooka has rolled to the wall, but the phone is still glowing dutifully.

In the cold white light, the zombie's teeth were almost touching his face!

A mop pole suddenly fell from the sky, pressed horizontally onto the arm that was holding the zombie, and then shrank back, directly strangling its neck from behind the zombie!

Wu Sheng let go, and Xu Wang, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, strangled the zombie with a mop pole and dragged it away from his body!

Getting up quickly, Wu Sheng ran to the cubicle closest to Xu Wang, and quickly opened the door: "Push it in!"

Xu Wang put all his energy into the stalemate with the zombies, and was worried about how to end the battle. Hearing this, he immediately let go of the mop handle and pushed it hard from behind!

No matter the location of the cubicle chosen by Wu Sheng is good, Xu Wang doesn't need to make any adjustments, just push it in a straight line.

The zombie didn't react, rushed into the cubicle like a cannonball, and was knocked by the toilet.

Seeing the right time, Wu Sheng closed the compartment door with a snap, and pulled the doorknob hard to prevent the zombies from breaking the door. At the same time, he quickly deployed tactics towards Xu Wang: "Climb up and nourish him—"

Xu Wang understood instantly.

Climbing up to the cubicle in twos and threes, a zombie in a suit who was also struggling to pull the doorknob in and tried to open the door was a straight waterline.

When the dynamic song was sung, the zombies in suits were no different, completely different from those in the south of the city, as if the water jet couldn't do any damage to it, and even the compartment door had been opened by it.

However, there is a price to be paid for underestimating the enemy.

The result of neither covering nor dodging is that when the refrain is remembered, the waterline finally pierces the zombie's eyeballs and hits the brain.

The zombie collapsed to the ground, Xu Wang let go of the trigger.

The clear but not too loud singing voice lasted for about ten seconds before stopping.

Restroom, return to tranquility.

Xu Wang jumped down from the cubicle, held his breath and listened together with Wu Sheng for a while, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no other zombies were rushing over.

When he was in the amusement park, Xu Wang discovered that he could control the music intensity of the thunderbolt gun. The strongest was probably the same as when standing on Dumbo and summoning zombies, and the weakest was just now, probably when the music was playing outside the phone. Around 80% volume.

In fact, in such a quiet environment, it is also very loud. Fortunately, the bathroom is deep enough.

Picking up the mobile phone on the ground and returning it to Wu Sheng, Xu Wang glanced at the corpse in the cubicle, feeling sad.

The zombies in the north of the city, from speed, to strength, to the ability to resist blows, are definitely a qualitative leap.

"That..." The door of the penultimate compartment suddenly opened, and a round head poked out, "Is it dead?"

Xu Wang didn't expect that there were still people in the toilet, so he was almost scared out of his wits.

Wu Sheng was better, but it took a long time before he found the voice: "It's dead. Who are you?"

"The poor young man trapped in the toilet by the zombies." The round head couldn't come out, as if he was nostalgic for the sense of security in the cubicle, so he showed his head and talked to them, "I want to repay you for killing the zombies."

The word "repay" made Xu Wang's eyes light up, and when he looked at his round head, he felt the golden light of a treasure chest around the back of his head.

His heartbeat became a little more stable, and he realized that he was holding on to Wu Sheng's clothes, which showed how impactful the appearance of the round head was.

Without a trace, he withdrew his hand, cleared his throat, and asked for Wu Sheng who was still thinking, "Do you have a car?"

"No." The round head answered simply.

Xu Wang: "..."

An NPC who can't help in an emergency, why is it so cool to appear on the stage!

"But I can save it." Roundhead blinked his eyes, "Would you like to come?"
