monster he just wants to be a good guy

That star is so shiny!

When they arrived at the bottom of the tower, Lu Man realized how huge the tower was in front of him. Standing underneath, he felt as if he had become a small ant passing under a bamboo shoot.

The large glass windows on the lower floors were shattered all over the place, and they walked lightly, carefully walking through the shards of glass.

Lu Man noticed that half of the sole of Old Jane's shoe was missing, but after so many years of wandering around, the soles of the feet had already formed a thick layer of calluses, and glass shards could not get in at all.

They went straight to the first floor.

This used to be a commercial center and the lobby is as empty as a bad thief.It should be in the early days of the disaster, and the survivors looted everything, leaving only the wall skin that fell off from the suspended ceiling on the ground.

Lu Man could only vaguely glimpse the prosperous past from the blurred or fallen advertising signs.

There are no monsters on the first floor, but the whole tower is filled with a chilling smell.Lu Man raised his head and activated the heat source sensing system. Within a hundred meters above, hundreds of red dots appeared one by one, as if the sky was full of stars.

It harbors many monsters.

Lu Man narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed a pattern, they were all concentrated on the left side of each floor.

Just looking up and not noticing his feet, he suddenly kicked something cold and hard, and shrugged his shoulders in surprise.Looking down, it turned out to be a bald head that was kicked by Lu Man and rolled on the ground.

Lu Man couldn't help shrinking his pupils. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a dummy head with flaming red lips and false eyelashes on his face.

"Master, this should be a costume model."

"Follow closely." Old Jane heard the movement, turned her head and said in a low voice.

Lu Man stopped looking around and followed closely behind Old Jane.

There is an elevator in the lobby, but it has been in disrepair for a long time. The up and down buttons have been worn out, and there are spider web cracks on the glass screen.

Lu Man followed Old Jane, passed the elevator in a hurry, passed through the low door on the right side of the hall, and a long spiral staircase appeared in front of them. They began to walk on the steps in silence.

Even though the steps of the two were already very light, the sound of footsteps landing on the steps still echoed in the long, narrow and closed corridor.

Every time you circle around, you will pass the side door of a floor. Judging from the rust on the wall, it should have been equipped with an iron door originally, but it may be completely opened due to monsters coming in and out, and it is connected with the corridor without any barrier.

Every time she passed the side door of the floor, Old Jane always walked more lightly and faster, holding the gun hidden in her arms with great caution, holding her breath around the door, and tensing up all over, to prevent monsters from rushing out from the door.

But they were lucky, and the two of them didn't encounter any monsters all the way up to the 20th floor.

Perhaps it is daytime, and the monsters on the lower floors of the office building are mainly mosquitoes and cockroaches, and their original environment likes dark and humid.

Lu Man suddenly understood why the monsters shrank to the left side, because there was no sunlight there.

Today is indeed the hottest day in recent days, and it is now in the morning, which is the moment when the sun rises in the east.

The sun shines in from the right side through the broken glass windows, and the monsters who love shade and humidity naturally hide in the sun shelter on the left side of the floor.

And what they are walking now is the spiral staircase on the right, which is the farthest position from the monster.

Did Old Jane calculate all this in advance?

Old Jane walked in front with steady steps. He had already climbed almost 30 floors, and his panting was still very light.

Seeing that he was so familiar with the road, it was obviously not the first time he had climbed a tower, and Lu Man couldn't help admiring him.

It took the two of them about an hour to climb to the 50th floor, rested on the spot, drank a few sips of the water that had been boiled and cooled yesterday, then got up and continued walking.

It's just that the higher the floor, the greater the load on the body due to gravity, and beads of sweat began to protrude from Lu Man's forehead. Old Jane was obviously a little tired, and the sound of panting became more obvious, and the sound of footsteps falling on the steps was less pronounced. As brisk as before.

But fortunately, the higher the floor, the fewer monsters, and it doesn't matter if they walk more loudly.

After walking for almost an hour, Lu Man only felt that his legs were filled with lead, and his muscles mechanically moved his bones up and down to continue climbing the stairs.

This is the first time he has climbed to such a high place with a human body. Before he turned into an eagle or a bat, he flapped his wings and flew to a height of several hundred meters. Humans can only rely on their weak legs Come climb to the top step by step.

They had already turned countless turns and arrived at the 99th floor. The iron door on this floor was intact and tightly closed, and there seemed to be no trace of monsters entering or exiting.

Old Jane paused for a while on the 99th floor, then led Lu Man up.

The two stopped at the 100th floor. After Lu Man circled so many times, he suddenly stopped, and felt that the whole world was spinning.

Old Jane took out a gun from her arms, and slowly pushed open the iron door on the 100th floor. With Lu Man's keen sense of smell, she didn't smell the strange smell of monsters from inside the door.

But Lao Jian put the muzzle of the gun in through the crack of the door, scanned the scene inside the door up, down, left, and right, still not at ease, took out the prepared meat from his pocket and threw it in, and waited for a few minutes before there was no movement , just pushed open the door and walked in.

Lu Man understood a little bit, wandering in the wilderness for many years had forged old Jane's cautious and sensitive nerves, how could she live forever if she was not careful and took steps at every step.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Jian asked Lu Man to close the iron door and put an iron bolt on it to prevent monsters from breaking in.

The size of the room that came into view was not large. After all, the taller the tower, the narrower it was. To Lu Man's surprise, it was like a replica of the old Jane's "home", with a bed, a kettle, a stove made of tiles, Windproof paper shell...

Old Jane walked to the window, squatted down and tossed twice, and after a while, the floor-to-ceiling glass window was opened with a small crack.

He held the window with both hands, stood up gradually, lifted it up above his head vigorously, turned his head to look at Lu Man and said, "Bring that over here."

Following his gaze, Lu Man saw two iron brackets lying on the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up, and stuck them between the window and the ground.

The icy wind came in through the window, blowing his shirt.It is more than 300 meters away from the ground, and the clouds are floating above the head, as if within reach.

"Uncle Jian, why did you open the window?" Lu Man asked in confusion, "What are we doing here?"

"We'll find out in the evening." Old Jane just said so.

Today's lunch was extraordinarily rich, with canned luncheon meat sandwiched between bread. Although it was cold, Lu Man still ate with great relish, and Old Jane also wolfed down a bag of bread in a few mouthfuls.

After the two replenished the energy consumed by climbing a hundred floors, Old Jane climbed up to rest on the only bed in the room, and after a while, she started snoring lightly. It seemed that she was indeed a little tired.

Lu Man, on the other hand, was sitting by the window blowing the wind, looking at the scenery outside the window with interest.

From this height, you can see a small blue sea outside the [-]-meter-high wall at the farthest, and you can overlook the dilapidated buildings around you, and you can overlook the misty mountains in the distance.

As the sun gradually set in the west, warm sunlight poured into the room from the open window, and he poked his head out from the edge.

There are intact glass windows on the top, bottom, left, and right, reflecting the beautiful orange-red sunset, but the windows on this floor where I am are not closed, like a missing piece in the puzzle.

In Lu Man's mind, he vaguely recalled a long time ago when he was caught by Xiao Jiu for the first time, looking back from the sky at the glass tower standing in the core city.

The continuous glass windows on the top of the tower reflect the color of the blue sky, and one of the small holes is dotted like a dark cloud in the blue sky.

perhaps……

He was lost in thought when someone grabbed him by the collar. Old Jane woke up at some point, and dragged Lu Man away from the window.

"Are you courting death?" It was rare to see Old Jane staring at herself sternly, and the ashes on her face began to fall down.Knowing that he was caring about him, Lu Man lowered his head in embarrassment.

As night fell, the wind blowing in from the windows dispelled the remaining warmth of the sun.

Old Jane covered the windshield with cardboard, took out two windbreakers from the mountaineering bag, threw one to Lu Man, put on the other one himself, leaned against the windshield, and started to light a fire.

Lu Man ran to the side to carry firewood to add more firewood.There was a lot of firewood piled up in the dry corner of the room, which should have been picked up by Old Jane before.

After the charcoal was burned, Lao Jian dug out a few sweet potatoes from the bag and threw them in. He also put the canned luncheon meat on the still hot tiles and heated them with the residual heat.

While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, the two sat side by side under the windshield cardboard and were relatively silent, and it was Lu Man who broke the silence first.

"Uncle Jian, did you come here often before?"

Old Jane didn't speak, just when Lu Man thought he wouldn't answer, he said, "Often."

Seeing that there was room for progress in the topic, Lu Man looked sideways at him: "Is this the task that Adjutant Chen entrusted to you?"

When Lu Man heard Chen Mu handing over his bulging hiking bag to Lao Jian, he even said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

So he speculated that perhaps Harbor provided some supplies to Old Jane, and in exchange, asked him to come to the tower to do something?

Old Jane shook her head: "It's just on the way, I have a reason to come here."

He just answered ambiguously in this way, and didn't continue to talk. The following seemed to involve a more personal area, so Lu Man didn't ask any more questions.

When they finished their dinner, the night was dark, and looking down, the building complex seemed to have turned into a black giant beast under the cover of night, swarming and ambush around the bottom of the tower.

Old Jane turned out a huge searchlight from her bag, which was bigger than the strong flashlight used to disperse the bat swarm.

Before it was over, he then turned out a square object from the bottom, and connected the wire extending from the bottom of the searchlight to the box.That appears to be an external generator?

Lu Man's heart beat a little faster, and he seemed to be vaguely aware of what Old Jane was going to do in the future.

"Put on the blindfold and don't look straight in here."

Old Jane took out two pairs of blindfolds and threw one over to Lu Man, while she was standing by the window carrying a giant searchlight, like a machine gun.

He pointed the head of the lamp at the window, turned his head to confirm that Lu Man had put on the goggles, and he put on the anti-glare goggles himself, and pressed the switch.

In an instant, intense light poured out, almost illuminating half of the sky.

Lu Man listened to the sound of the switch being pressed and closed, silently counting the rhythm in his heart, three times long, three times short, and three times long.

He stretched out his hand and pulled down the blindfold, and the light suddenly illuminated his whole world, like a star falling into the world.

Lu Man once saw such an "artificial star" in the Eagle's Nest on the top of the mountains.

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of this light. Later, when he learned that three long, three short and three long represent "help", he thought it was someone trapped on the tower waiting for rescue.

It wasn't until now that Lu Man realized that it wasn't completely like this.

When the signal is interrupted and the road is blocked, the only thing that can transmit information to the farthest is light.

That was not a distress signal for one person, but a silent cry to the world outside the besieged city on behalf of all the people trapped in the besieged city:

"We are here! Help us!"

After the second transmission of the signal was over, Lu Man walked over and asked in a low voice, "Can I have a try?"

Old Jane froze for a moment, but didn't answer, but silently handed over the searchlight she was carrying.

"Be careful it's hot." Old Jane raised her mouth.

When Lu Man took over, the heat generated by the excessive power consumption of the light source was transmitted along the body of the tube, which was really hot, but he didn't care.

Lu Man pointed the searchlight out of the window and pressed the switch.

In the thick night, the light flickered.

In the building complex around the tower, there are a few dark shadows, moving towards the direction of the tower.

At the same time, the people around the core city in the besieged city all looked up at the dazzling light.

Gangwan District 6, just before the stop, Lu Xiaoan just finished dinner with his friends, and walked along the recruits' running road to digest food.

Lu Xiaoan was looking at the sky aimlessly at first, when he was suddenly attracted by a low-hanging, flickering spot of light in the distant night.

"Look!" He pointed over there, and quickly asked his friends to come and see.

Zheng Qingqing looked around: "That star is so shining!"
