sunset escape

The base was a little far from the city center, and when Xiang Jiajun drove downstairs to the research institute, He Chen had already fallen asleep.

He didn't see many zombies along the way, probably still gathering and hiding in buildings as before.

Xiang Jiayun sat in the car and looked around.The zombie in the institute's clothes was still lingering in place, soaked by the rain.He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, the silent zombie wandered aimlessly, and would not stop until its body rotted.It seems to be a sense of fate in another sense.

He was hesitating whether to wake up Teacher He, and slowly opened his eyes for convenience.Turning his eyes in a daze, he gradually came to his senses, but his tone was still laziness of half-dream and half-awake: "How long has it been?"

Xiang Jiajun pulled He Chen's left hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, "4 minutes."

He Chen's body froze, and after Xiang Jiajun put his hand back, he murmured: "It seems that I need to get you a watch."

What Teacher He said, there is a high probability of snatching it from the zombies, Xiang Jiayun thought as usual.

The two packed up their luggage, put their backpacks on their backs, took their weapons, and got out of the car together.

He quickly ran into the gate of the institute and stopped to pat the raindrops on his body.

He Chen asked in a low voice: "When you took me out of the second floor, how many zombies were left in the stairwell?"

Regarding how he escaped from the research institute that day, he never waited until Xiang Jiayun took the initiative to reveal it.Therefore, he subconsciously thought that Xiang Jiayun brought him out after waiting for the zombies outside the door to disperse.Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain, surrounded by more than a dozen zombies, Xiang Jiayun led a comatose man out of the encirclement.

Xiang Jiayun shook his head, trying to shake off the rain from his hair, and replied, "I killed almost all of them, and the remaining four or five were locked in the laboratory on the second floor."

He Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What did you say?" He even temporarily lost his ability to express.

"I left you in the utility room first, then went out to deal with the zombies, and then dragged you away." Xiang Jiayun raised his eyes and complained, "You are really heavy, and I carried you down the stairs It's one of those pains that I don't want to recall in my life."

He Chen imagined Xiang Jiajun facing more than a dozen zombies, and a sharp fear flashed in his heart.I clearly told him not to go out, this person not only went out, but also desperately disregarding the safety of his life and the zombies.

He held back the turbulent emotions in his heart, but raised his hand restrainedly, and rubbed Xiang Jiayun's hair.

"Don't be so reckless next time, your own safety is the most important thing, even if I bleed for a while, it won't do anything, understand?" He looked at the other person's eyes, obviously disobedient, and couldn't help but increase the movement of his hands, To mess up the hair of youth.

Xiang Jiayun looked away, and said sullenly: "Don't you even praise me for my superior martial arts?"

He Chen felt a little helpless, this idiot, why is his focus always so strange.

"How can you be so powerful in martial arts?" He Chenshun said to Jiayun, "You are simply brave and invincible."

Feeling the warmth of the top of his head, Xiang Jiayun rubbed against it imperceptibly, and then quickly walked forward pretending not to care.

Teacher He quickly followed.

Because of the power outage in city B, the elevator was unavailable, so they went up the stairs as last time.

All the way unimpeded.Xiang Jiajun led the way, and He Chen followed behind him not too far away.When he reached the stairwell on the second floor, he heard Mr. He sigh in a low voice: "It's so good at hitting...violent puppies."

Xiang Jiayun suddenly stopped and turned around, meeting the gaze of He Chen who was caught off guard.

"What, are you going to beat me up?" He Chen calmly challenged.

He pursed his lips, abruptly suppressed the protest, and asked instead, "What are the floors above the sixth floor used for?"

He Chen lifted his foot, continued to climb up the stairs, walked in front of him, and replied in a low voice: "Advanced research room. The lower five floors are mainly used for the research and development of ordinary drugs, and the upper three floors, listen to what my dad said, It is a high-rise office and a research and development site for important drugs, and only a small number of people can swipe their cards to enter the special elevators on these three floors."

"So," Xiang Jiayun hesitated for a moment, but said bluntly, "Did the zombies escape from the laboratory?"

"Not sure. There are too many doubts. There are two kinds of zombies in city B, the holiday notice announced one day in advance, and most importantly, how can such a small private enterprise research institute conduct zombie virus research." He Shensi Ask slowly.

They have reached the fifth floor.Xiang Jiayun glanced at the stairs, and it was dark inside.

"So in addition to looking for traces of your father, should we also look for clues and evidence that the research institute may be developing a zombie virus?" He asked.

Xiang Jiayun also thought it was ridiculous.He even couldn't understand, if the research institute is really developing the virus, what is their purpose, to let the pharmaceutical companies have the serum to deal with the virus, and then sit on the ground and raise the price?Now that the zombie tide has broken out, where is the antidote?

"Perhaps." He Chen's thoughts and emotions were unclear.

The two stood on the sixth floor.There was a chain hanging on the door of the fire escape, and Jiayun pushed it forward, only to find that there was still a chain hanging inside.

He raised his head and asked Teacher He's opinion: "Shall I split it with an axe?"

He Chen nodded, and walked to the side of the steps, even though there should be no zombies coming out of this building, I still give him a lookout.

Xiang Jiayun took a step back, prepared for two seconds, then raised the axe, swung it round and smashed it on the iron chain.

With a bang, he himself was startled by the noise.But fortunately, a crack was broken in the iron chain, and he cut it a little more, and it was completely broken.

He turned to look at He Chen with a little joy: "Are there any zombies?"

He Chen leaned on the armrest, "Don't worry about whoever cuts you."

"Oh." He nodded, and pushed the door in, revealing a gap big enough to put an axe in, and split the iron chain inside like the same.

"It's done."

He turned around and waved to Teacher He, and was about to open the door as he spoke.But He Chen caught up with him in two steps and grabbed his hand, "Don't act rashly, in case there is something inside."

"But the sound was so loud just now, there was no movement from inside."

While Xiang Jiajun was talking, He Chen pushed him behind him, and he could only watch helplessly as the other party opened the door in front of him.Two seconds later, he heard He Chen's voice: "It's also empty."

The door was completely opened, and Xiang Jiayun followed in.The corridor was empty, and He Chen opened the doors of each office and laboratory next to each other, but there was no one there either.

The strangest thing is that all the materials and experimental items inside have been emptied, and there are almost nothing beside the desks, shelves and instruments.

"Are they..." Xiang Jiayun thought about it, "Moved?"

The last time he saw the general situation on the second floor, although there were not many people, everything was still in place, basically maintaining the state before the zombie outbreak.

The mysterious sixth floor was evacuated.

He Chen almost kicked open the doors at the back, and after reading them one by one, he walked back to the stairs aggressively, "Go to the seventh floor."

They went up to the seventh floor and repeated the procedure.After entering, it was still empty, and it had been completely cleaned.

He Chen's mood became more and more gloomy, and he walked up the stairs again with anger, and reached the eighth floor.

Xiang Jiayun bumped his arm with his shoulder, "Hey, calm down and don't act rashly."

Teacher He pinched the center of his brows, and finally calmed down a little after hearing what he said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

He was worried, so he moved closer and asked, "Are you still dizzy? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"

"No need." He Chen reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, and took two steps back, "Chop it."

Xiang Jiayun looked back at Teacher He's face, but luckily he wasn't too pale. He felt relieved a little, turned around and skillfully split the chain on the fire door on the eighth floor.

This time he pushed the door open.

The eighth floor was still evacuated.

Stepping into the depths of the corridor, the dark light of the rainy day shines in through the scattered glass windows, and even the display boards on both sides of the corridor cannot be clearly seen.

He and He Chen opened all the doors of the rooms on the eighth floor. There were no zombies, no documents, and no sign of He Chen's father.

He Chen stood in the middle of the corridor and looked around again, the feeling of gloom suddenly turned into puzzlement.

"Not here, where would it be." He murmured.

Looking at a room at the end of the corridor, Xiang Jiayun gradually frowned.

Not only was there no information left in this room, there were even no tables, chairs or benches.There were only two pots of indoor green plants, still standing vigorously in the corner of the room, one of them fell on the ground, and the soil spilled out.

He walked in, looking down at the dirt trail.These soils are not just located next to the potted plants, but are also brought all the way to a wall, forming a line on the ground.

Xiang Jiayun followed the line to the wall and looked up.There are several tiny cracks on the white wall, perpendicular to the ground, extending from the bottom all the way to the ceiling. There is a distance between each crack, and the length of these distances is like...

He couldn't think of it for a while, and lightly hammered the wall with an axe.

It turned out to be the sound of metal colliding.

"Teacher He! Come here quickly!" He turned his head and shouted.

He Chen immediately ran over and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not me, it's not me," Xiang Jiayun pointed at the wall in front of him with some excitement, "It's this, there's something behind the wall!"

He Chen also saw these gaps, inspected them, and asked unsurely, "Is this...the door?"

Door?Xiang Jiayun suddenly realized that the distance between each gap was combined, like two sliding doors.

"How to open it?" He gestured with an axe, "Can it be pried open?"

Teacher He walked aside and groped on the wall, "Such a secret door must be powered on when it is in normal use, and everyone can't get in. So there should be a sensor, just like the special elevator for the sixth to eighth floors .”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Chen paused.If you look carefully, there is a slight bump where your fingers touch.

"It's here."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the steel hammer and slammed it upwards.

A layer of white wall dust was smashed off, gradually revealing the metal color inside.

Xiang Jiayun leaned up to take a closer look, a little disappointed, "It's also like a sensor for swiping a card, so we still have to pry open the door?"

Teacher He weighed the steel hammer and said concisely: "Pry, give me the axe."

Xiang Jiajun admitted that he was not as strong as the other party, so he obediently handed over the axe, caught the steel hammer thrown by Teacher He, and stood aside.

He Chen inserted the thin ax blade into the gap, and then began to use force.Xiang Jiayun had never seen He Chen expend so much strength, the smooth muscle lines of his arms suddenly exploded, and his whole figure was like a beast that finally showed all its strength.After a while, the gap finally widened slowly.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xiang Jiayun quickly inserted the steel hammer into the side pocket of the backpack, stepped forward to jam the gap with his fingers, and exerted force in the opposite direction of He Chen.

He used almost every muscle in his body, but the gap opened extremely slowly.

Xiang Jiayun wanted to swear, what kind of broken door is this, behind the door must be a secret of the level of a zombie king...

Finally, after more than ten seconds, the door suddenly sags inward, as if snapped on crisply.

The subsequent process became easy and smooth, and the door was pushed to the bottom by the two of them at once, retracting behind the walls on both sides.

He let go of his hand, his whole body was a little weak, and the wound on his arm was also aching.But there was no time to rest, what he saw made him a little dumbfounded.

"Teacher He," he couldn't help complaining, "I quit, why is there still a door?"

After finally prying open the broken door, another elevator metal door appeared behind it.

He Chen returned the ax to him. Although he looked a little tired, he didn't relax at all.

Silently stepped forward, smashed the upper door lock, and then easily opened the elevator door by himself.There is only a dark elevator shaft behind the door, and the car is not on this floor.

He Chen looked down, then turned around and walked to the potted plant, "Give it to me."

Xiang Jiayun quickly took off the steel hammer on the side of the backpack and handed it over.

"Stay away and block your head." Teacher He greeted in advance, and when he stepped back, he suddenly slammed into the potted plant, and the ceramic flower pot burst open.

Grabbed a shard, walked to the elevator shaft, and threw it straight down.

After a while, there was a sound from the depths.

He Chen verified what he thought in his heart, turned around and asked him, "Where do you think this elevator leads to?"

Xiang Jiayun felt in a trance that they just opened a door that was not good.

He stretched out his hand to pull He Chen back from the elevator shaft to a safe place, raised his head and replied, "Maybe it leads to hell, let's go and see together?"
