Doomsday city

Before the air condensed, Vinoya and his partners set off early.

The hazy road looked very lonely, and it didn't take long for heavy rain to force them to move forward slowly.The field of vision was washed away by the rain and became narrow. Vinoa concentrated on operating the steering wheel and passed a few cars that had crashed into the middle of the road. Mabel looked out the window leisurely and hummed a brisk and classic music.

Most of the journey was spent in silence. When they saw the 'Welcome to Ferida' sign, no one was in a happy mood. Even though the poster was full of handsome men and women and a stylish sports car, Red Scorpion just snorted. A few times.

"I doubt it," she said, throwing a cigarette out of the car window, twisting her neck, "where did everyone else go after the zombies attacked? They all turned into monsters? No, I don't think that's possible, there must be a lot of lives The big guy escaped unharmed, but we can't even see a trace until now, it's too weird."

"If you want someone to hold a billboard and write 'Save Me', you must have watched too many movies," Mabel said nonchalantly, "Those who are not eaten as food are probably too scared to go out, and The vast majority of people would rather starve to death than travel around aimlessly." She pointed to Vinoa and herself who were driving, and said, "Only us lunatics will hang out with nothing."

"Okay," Red Scorpion shrugged, "You're right, I came all the way to the next city just for a bottle of damn inhibitors? We're the only ones who have leisure time, right? Doctor." She leaned against the back seat of the driver , swinging his legs boredly, his eyes swept across one abandoned commercial building after another.

Vinoa glanced at the rear mirror, and Ingrid was quietly dozing against the car window, with a strong tiredness on her calm face.

"Here we are." After making a small circle around the city, Vinoya parked the car in front of a fifty-story administrative building.

The overturned bus crashed into the revolving door, and the glass on the first floor was broken and scattered. After heavy rain and wind and snow, it looked like a haunted house that had been abandoned for decades. If it weren't for the embedded text on the wall of the building, Vinoa would definitely be like a fool. Can't find the location yet.

Ingrid was the first to get out of the car. She stood by the car door and looked around. Several fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances were parked on the four-lane road. The nearby stores were looted, and the windows of commercial buildings were stained with dried blood. Garbage and broken car parts, and even a stench that seems to be nothing in the air, except that there is no one, not even a corpse.

Compared with the area they used to stay in, this place looks much 'cleaner'.

"We have to rely on you to take the lead, honey," Red Scorpion handed Ingrid a pistol, "There will be no generators in the end of the world, and the building must be as dark as a haunted house." She pretended to be a zombie, but she looked like a woman who had a stroke Ingrid clicked her tongue in disdain.

"It doesn't matter, if you can keep up." She loaded the pistol and set off immediately.

Red Scorpion glanced at Mabel, who shrugged and took out the flashlight, saying: "If you can't keep up, remember to come out early and don't ask for trouble." She smiled and stuffed the flashlight into Red Scorpion's arms, and walked with her slender arms Legs followed Ingrid who rushed into the building.

"That's it? No tactics or plans?" Red Scorpion looked at Vinoya in surprise, who was carrying a light backpack and took out a miniature flashlight from his pocket, "Maybe we should think of a secret signal? Can we notify each other if we encounter danger? You two?" You don’t want to just break in, do you? What if there are zombies inside? It’s a closed building!”

"Wasting time," Vinoya said coldly when he passed by her, "If you're not sure how to protect yourself, just stay here and watch the car."

She entered the building behind Mabel, Red Scorpion's ears turned red from being provoked, and she followed with a flashlight between gritted teeth.When stepping into the hall, a strong cold wind blows head-on. Even if the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows is broken, there is still not a ray of sunlight inside, and the direction can only be guided by the flashlight.

"The Doctors Guild is on the sixth floor." Mabel stood in front of the floor map, gesticulating the route with her fingertips, "The closest way is to go up from the No. [-] escape exit. Turning here will pass the Foundation, and the office area of ​​the Doctors Guild is behind it. The potion is hidden somewhere," she said after a pause, "but we might miss out."

Looking at the extent of the damage to the building, it may have been attacked when the zombies broke out. Apart from the fire trucks and police cars parked on the street, many offices in the building were ransacked and all valuables were demolished. Make a fortune, but unfortunately there is no place to spend the money in the end, or they turned into zombies and forgot how to shop.

Ingrid pursed her lips, turned around and went up the escape ladder, Vinoa signaled Mabel and Red Scorpion to follow, no matter whether the journey was fruitful or not, they would do their best.Bloodstains were everywhere on the walls of the narrow stairwell, trampled waste paper was stuck to the floor, and the stair railings were covered with stinky liquid. No one looked at ease when walking from the first floor to the sixth floor.

When passing by the fourth floor, Ingrid suddenly slowed down, and the red scorpion behind her almost hit her back. As soon as she raised her head, she heard intermittent footsteps.Ingrid made a silent gesture to them, and the sound of footsteps in the distance gradually stopped. It sounded like there were at least ten floors away.

"Zombie?" Red Scorpion asked quietly.

Vinoya frowned and took two steps forward, and the sound of distant footsteps followed.

"I'll count to three, and you immediately run up to the sixth floor," she whispered, "One, two, three!"

The red scorpion staggered, and Mabel and Ingrid dragged their arms and sprinted up the stairs. There were chaotic footsteps one after another. They were not even sure whether it was from themselves or other creatures, but the number sounded amazing.Ingrid looked up while running. On the dark spiral staircase, she saw at least a dozen zombies rushing down the stairs at a speed no less than that of normal humans.

"Damn it!" Red Scorpion cursed in a low voice, and the flashlight suddenly slipped out, and the falling light inadvertently swept across the group of zombies chasing up the stairs on the ground floor, scaring her with goosebumps all over her body, and she tried to speed up her pace.

Ingrid was the first to step up the steps on the sixth floor. When she turned around and was about to push open the safety door, the zombies swooping in from the seventh floor had already opened their bloody mouths and attacked her. In a split second, Vinoya dodged to block Ingrid, and the gunshot It stuck firmly into the rotting mouth of the zombie.

"Let's go!" Vinoya shouted, and at the same time, zombies howled strangely from all directions.

When Ingrid knocked open the safety door, the Red Scorpion immediately fell in. Mabel held the door lock with one hand, and Vinoya shot the zombie and then turned into the door in an instant. It was not until the iron door was locked that Vinoya found it. Return to breathing rhythm.Red Scorpion sat on the ground dejectedly. When she closed the door, she caught a glimpse of at least a few rotten monsters that opened their mouths and roared at her. The stench was still in her nostrils.

"We'd better find her mother's inhibitor as soon as possible." This is why Red Scorpion doesn't want to take the risk of coming to this dilapidated building to find an inhibitor. She would rather chase those zombies in the wilderness than fight with her in the concrete square. They play hide and seek.

"This looks like just an ordinary office?" Mabel scanned the surroundings with a flashlight. Except for computers, desks, photocopiers and paperwork, the empty seating area seemed to have been shut down for more than a few years. Maybe those people had already moved before the end of the world. indefinite.

"Usually only half of Ge Gulan's words can be believed," Red Scorpion jumped up from the floor, and said, "I hope he will tell the truth this time."

Ingrid bypassed them and walked in. There was nothing unusual in the first half of the foundation office area. Except for the scattered reports and checkbooks, there was not even a trace of blood. Through the glass door, you could even see the intact manager's office. , almost like a museum, a rare post-apocalyptic 'normal' sight.

Turning around the promenade, several people stopped in front of an abrupt iron door in tacit understanding. The glass door originally designed by the building was deliberately disassembled and placed on the wall, and replaced by a thick and cold iron door. There is not even a transom. Like an iron wall.Ingrid and Vinoya exchanged glances, she tentatively turned the door lock, and the unexpected iron door was easily pushed open.

"Wow, it looks like..." Red Scorpion frowned slightly after stepping into the Physician's Guild. All kinds of household garbage were piled up in the place where he glanced, such as zero-time bags, instant noodles, candies that can be seen everywhere in supermarkets, and all kinds of garbage. The same bottled drinks and water, and even three pillows and two crumpled quilts in the corner of the office, "Like someone lives?"

The five clocks on the desk made a ticking sound. Although there was a difference in minutes and seconds, the hands all stopped at [-]:[-].Vinoya stepped on the empty plastic bag and made a rustling sound. She opened the drawer of the locker, and all the medicine cans left in it were empty, except for a few bottles of disinfectant alcohol, nothing that could be used was found.

Not to mention inhibitors.

"Cinderella's magic time is over," Mabel closed the glass cabinet as she said, and sat on the desk with her legs crossed, "Unless there are secret doors or secret rooms, I don't think we want this poor house." What I'm looking for, and I believe... the smart guy who had an early warning would not let important assets be placed here easily." She shrugged helplessly as she said.

"Damn it, I knew Ge Gulan couldn't believe it!" Red Scorpion wanted to take out the cigarette habitually, but the empty pack made her kick the coffee can angrily, and hit the wall with a "boom!", "That lunatic is like a poisonous insect!" Hiding in the garage all day, his little tricks can only be called witchcraft, disgusting witchcraft that draws people's blood to death!"

Ingrid circled back to her partner from the bottom, shook her head at Vinoa, and said, "The important documents and experimental equipment have been emptied, so it seems that our trip was for nothing." Her tone could not hear disappointment, but Nor is it gloating.

Vinoya pursed her lips tightly, like her usual expression when she was angry. She didn't yell or scold anyone. At most, she slammed her fist heavily against the concrete wall to make a muffled sound, "Have you searched all the places?" She looked up Looking around, Mabel crossed her arms and smiled at her, Red Scorpion ran her fingers through her short hair and sighed, while Ingrid walked past her expressionlessly.

Red Scorpion ran over half a shard of multigrain biscuit with the toe of her shoe, and said, "I'm sorry about Frieda." Even if she wanted to do something to repay Vinoa, there was nothing she could do.Since the outbreak of zombies, human beings have lost all their advantages since they lost their civilization.

"Going back." Vinoya said coldly.

Mabel stretched her waist and walked out the door first, followed by Red Scorpion.

"Next..." Ingrid flashed the flashlight beam, approached Vinoa from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Kill Frieda or let her live with her kind? Captain Vinoa York." She The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her frustrated expression always made her feel happy when seeing a doctor.

Vinoya frowned, her serious expression was enough to scare a child into tears, but it was a pity that Ingrid was not a three-year-old girl.

"Don't forget your job, lead the way." Vinoya reminded coldly.

Ingrid snorted disdainfully, "put away your hypocritical kindness and love, doctor, you shouldn't have trusted Red Scorpion from the very beginning, including all the troubles she caused and the false information about inhibitors. She's a liar ──An out-and-out liar."

As soon as the words were finished, the electronic clock on the table suddenly fell into the trash, and a transparent glass bottle rolled to Ingrid's feet. Almost at the same time, she grabbed Vinoa's gun and turned to face the dark ceiling." Bang bang" fired two shots.
