With a click, Li Yuanxu opened the iron cabinet door, revealing the woman with her eyes tightly closed inside.
"Open your eyes, I have something to ask you!" Li Yuanxu reached out and grabbed the woman, and pulled the woman out.
The latter was shaking like chaff, his eyes were tightly closed, and he kept mumbling.
Li Yuanxu was a little helpless. He turned his head and looked at Wang Hu. He looked at him with confusion in his eyes, but Liang Boshi, who was next to Wang Hu, took a few steps forward.
He grabbed the woman, slapped her hard and hard, and slapped half of her face red!
Handprints quickly appeared on the woman's cheek!
The woman finally opened her eyes, trembling all over, looking around, and finally her eyes were fixed on the bodies outside the office!
"Didn't you say that you 'broke the rules'? What is the punishment?" Li Yuanxu asked.
The woman didn't recover for a long time. Just when Liang Boshi was about to slap her again, the woman finally looked over. She staggered and knelt in front of Li Yuanxu.
"Help me...save me..." the woman said with a cry in her voice.
"Tell me first, what did you violate and what is the punishment?" Li Yuanxu asked.
The woman seemed to have gained new hope after seeing all the zombies killed, so she told Li Yuanxu's question intermittently but completely -
On the 24th floor, Li Yuanxu and others found the office where the survivors had taken refuge, and the zombie corpses at the door of the office, which were the work of the woman in front of them.
One of the "rules" of this building is that during the day it is the world of the living, but you cannot interfere with the dead!
After the woman killed the zombie, she violated this rule, so the shoe print was actually left by her on purpose... She hoped to avoid the punishment of this rule!
"That shoe was left by a person who broke the rules. I thought it might be useful, so I took the shoes with me," the woman said.
As for the punishment after breaking the rules, the woman actually didn't know, but once the person who broke the rules was hiding not far from her, and she heard the movement.
"I heard the dense, noisy footsteps and the man's screams. By the next day, there was only a blood stain on the ground and the presence of the pair of shoes."
The woman had been observing the corridor with her peripheral vision, and saw a zombie attacking, but was randomly killed by the thugs in the corridor. She became more confident and spoke fluently.
"Footsteps, screams..."
Li Yuanxu was thoughtful, and then he said: "So these zombies are actually here to find you, rather than discovering our intrusion..."
A woman said that 'night is the world of the dead', so those who act at night must be zombies!
Or... was it the zombie the two thugs saw growing with the plants?
Li Yuanxu prefers to think that the role of the zombie is to guide the way, check the results, etc., that is, there is a special villain behind it!
"These things you mentioned, as well as rules and so on, who said it and how did it come about?" Li Yuanxu asked.
From the 20th floor up to the 40th floor of this building, there is an area where survivors such as women live. In this area, zombies will hide in cabinets and other places during the day, and food will randomly appear in various places every day.
The survivors who are lucky can find food for three meals, but the survivors who are unlucky will have to starve for a day!
Since there were no "rules" stating that food could not be snatched, this petite woman needed to avoid zombies and other survivors, so she explored the use of ventilation ducts.
There are only two clear regulations. One is that daytime is the world of the living, so survivors can move around during the day. The other is that killing zombies (zombie) is not allowed during the day.
"I don't know, and no one said it," the woman thought for a moment and shook her head, "It wasn't there at the beginning, but suddenly it was..."
As for why there are no second-level zombies and no zombies eating each other, the reason is actually very simple. Zombies are particularly active at night and move around, so there is no such thing as "being in a sealed environment for a long time."
"But basically the places to stay on each floor are fixed," the woman explained, "so when moving, just avoid these fixed areas."
Li Yuanxu nodded.
After some cross-examination, he confirmed that it did not appear suddenly, but that it formed a subtle restraint!
Why can't you go down to the 20th floor? It's because there are a lot of zombies below the 20th floor and they won't provide food. Why you can't go up to the 40th floor? It's because everyone who enters the 40th floor is dead!
Although no one clearly stood up and said what the rules were, everyone accepted the rules subconsciously.
It's like ringing a bell and giving the dog something to eat. After repeating it a few times, the dog will know that there is food when the bell rings!
The same goes for these survivors. They figured out that the 20th to 39th floors are effective spaces because food appears on each floor at the beginning!
The 40th floor is a forbidden area for survivors, because everyone who enters will die!
We don’t go below the 19th floor because there are a lot of zombies down there and there’s no food down there!
He was thinking that the special existence of this building was for 'dog training', but Li Yuanxu did not say it directly.
But from this point of view, this special existence has a certain degree of wisdom, and this special existence is almost unsustainable!
"It was fine in the first two months. Food was easy to find, but now sometimes I don't even see a single piece of food on the first floor, and it's all rotten and smelly!" the woman said.
Li Yuanxu nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his ears suddenly moved.
"It seems that the zombies just now really came to find you, but the zombies who came to supervise also discovered our existence!" Li Yuanxu said.
He looked around and suddenly said loudly: "Everyone is up and working!"
As the voice fell, the members of the collection team who were resting on the ground and beside the wall stood up one after another.
Many people were cautious when they opened their eyes, but did not find anything special. However, soon, they also heard a sound.
Those were dense, noisy footsteps piled together!
"Just stand here and wait," Li Yuanxu glanced at the woman, told her, and walked towards the corridor outside.
Most of the thugs followed him, and soon they followed the corridor and came to a 'T' shaped turning.
But here, everyone saw densely packed zombies, and also saw many weird existences among the zombies.
The most conspicuous thing is a zombie standing in the middle. He is tall and tall, over 1.9 meters tall. He stands out among the zombies. What attracts the attention of the collection team members is the growth on this zombie's head and next to his left ear. of a red flower.
It looks like it’s carrying a flower!
