Zhang Jike and his party were divided into two groups, each successfully entered the No. 7 residential building from the underground parking lot, and launched a search and rescue operation.
Two teams of four people went all the way up, knocking on doors and asking questions, but almost no response was received. There was some movement from a few houses, but the frightening sound of scratching at the door was still heard.
"It seems that all the residents in this building have turned into zombies, and the survivors are probably starving..."
Following Zhang Jike, Zhang Ning said dejectedly.
They had already climbed to the 12th floor. All the doors were closed tightly along the way.
Only when he reached the third floor did Ma Long send a signal from the other end, saying that he had found a room with an open door.
Zhang Jike and the others walked in and took a look, only to realize that this was the room where the explosion occurred. The door was ajar, and it looked as if it had been blown open by the shock wave of the explosion.
Because the fire prevention measures in the building were relatively good, the fire on the third floor did not spread. After all the combustible items were burned, the fire was automatically extinguished.
But everything in the house was completely burned by the fire, leaving only the smoke-blackened walls and ceiling. It was impossible for any survivors to stay in the house.
After a search, Ma Long and Xu Xiaoxiao found that the house was filled with the burnt smell after the fire and found nothing of value, so they split up with Zhang Jike and the others again and continued to search upwards.
"Is anyone there? We are from the rescue team. If there are zombies inside, just rest..."
The mood is low, but the search and rescue operation must continue.
Zhang Ning weakly knocked on the first door on the 12th floor. After waiting for a while, he habitually felt that there were no survivors in the house. When he was about to leave, a faint voice came from the door.
"Are you here to save us?"
"Huh? Survivor!"
Zhang Jike and Zhang Ning were like two groundhogs who had discovered their companions. They looked at each other in surprise and spoke quickly.
"We are from the rescue team, here to rescue you. We have plenty of food and water there. Please open the door!"
There was silence inside the door, and it took a while before the sound came out. Zhang Ning and Zhang Jike felt that they seemed to be standing on this side of the mountain, while the owner of the door was standing on the other side far away. The long distance made them feel uncomfortable. There are long pauses in communication.
"Ah, that's it, great, I'll open the door right now. My wife and children have been hungry for a long time, and finally the rescue team is here!"
The words inside the door were intermittent, and after finishing this sentence, there was silence for tens of seconds.
Just when Zhang Ning was impatient and wanted to shout something again, the door lock clicked open.
"Great...I've finally waited for you..."
The door slowly opened, and a sour and rotten smell hit them, almost knocking Zhang Jike and Zhang Ning to the ground.
"Stand back, there's a problem!"
Zhang Jike is indeed an experienced soldier. He noticed something strange just by sniffing. As he spoke, he raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at the half-open door in front of him.
"Hey, what's going on, Lao Zhang? Why does it smell so bad..."
Seeing Zhang Jike raising his gun and retreating, Zhang Ning subconsciously took two steps back, and at the same time covered his nose, trying to block out the rancid breath.
"This is the smell of rotting corpses!"
Zhang Jike answered quickly, his finger flat on the trigger.
This is the last preparation before shooting. Doing so indicates that the gun owner has entered a state where he can shoot at any time.
"You...are finally here..."
The heavy door slowly opened, and the owner inside didn't seem to notice what Zhang Jike said at all, and still spoke unhurriedly.
At the same time, Zhang Ning's illusory sixth sense came into play again, and a faint feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart, making him tense up all over.
Soon, their performance as if facing a powerful enemy was confirmed.
Two light blue tentacles as thick as thumbs suddenly rested on the door, and there were two sticky "snaps" from the contact between metal and flesh.
After that, more and more similar tentacles stretched out from the door, slapped on the door, and pushed slowly.
The tentacles on the door looked wet and slippery, and soon left traces of mucus on them. The owner of the door seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After the door was opened at a small angle, The opening speed suddenly dropped.
The tentacles on the door overlap one another, and gradually crowd the edge of most of the door. They are so densely packed that they look like countless blue giant earthworms, constantly squirming out from the door, making people feel their spines go up. Chill.
"You... come in quickly..."
Just when the two of them were shocked by the strangeness in front of them, faint human voices came from inside the door again, as if they were hospitable hosts, greeting the reserved guests outside the door very warmly.
"I'll take your mother's big sausage!"
Zhang Ning flew up and kicked the door hard.
In such a strange situation, even a fool could tell that the thing behind the door was most likely not a human being. Zhang Ning's flying kick also wanted to kick the door back and shut the monster behind it. Inside.
But the expected sound of closing the door did not come. Instead, Zhang Ning lost his center of gravity after a fierce kick, and was almost knocked to the ground by the force of the rebound.
"Fuck!"
Zhang Ning stumbled, stabilized his shaky body, and uttered a curse word.
Although the kick just now was not with all his strength, it was at least seven to eight degrees of strength. Such a strong kick was like kicking on the wall, and the door showed no sign of closing.
"What on earth is inside here!" Zhang Jike was horrified and subconsciously took two steps back and leaned his back against the wall.
"Zhang Ning, retreat quickly and come to my side!"
After the door was kicked by Zhang Ning, the tentacles on the door quickly retracted behind the door like a school of frightened fish. At the same time, a sound like wet cloth twisting together came from behind the door, like a spring. It is constantly being compressed, accumulating majestic power.
"Click!"
As if the spring was compressed to the limit, there was a crisp sound from behind the door.
"not good!"
At this moment, Zhang Jike's pupils shrank sharply, and the reflexes he had honed over many years as a soldier suddenly burst out. He grabbed Zhang Ning by the scruff of his neck and rolled him to the spot.
The moment the two fell to the ground, there was an explosion!
The center of the thick metal door seemed to have been hammered by a heavy object behind the door, and a lump suddenly bulged out. The huge force directly lifted the entire metal door panel away, hitting the spot where Zhang Jike had been a second ago.
Before Zhang Ning, who fell to the ground, could recover, Zhang Jike pulled the trigger.
The muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, and the bullets flew forward whizzing, tearing apart anything that dared to block its path!
Zhang Jike did not save bullets and shot all the bullets in the magazine in just a few seconds.
"Come on! Go to Malone!"
Zhang Jike quickly took out his spare magazine and shouted loudly at Zhang Ning, who was still on the ground in a daze.
But before he could load the magazine, his whole body was wrapped up by a light blue tentacle as thick as an adult's arm and dragged towards the dark room.
"Fuck!"
With an exclamation in his mouth, Zhang Ning's reaction was not slow. He immediately grabbed the strap on Zhang Jike's shoulder and at the same time kicked off the wall with one leg. He fell to the ground and started a stalemate with the tentacle.
"Ma Long! Help!"
Seeing that he had barely managed to hold Zhang Jike back, Zhang Ning didn't have time to think too much and just shouted at the top of his lungs in the direction of the suspended corridor.
If Malone and the others didn't encounter any accidents, they should be on the other side of the suspended corridor at this time.
Sure enough, after Zhang Ning shouted a few times, two footsteps one after the other came from the suspended corridor. The next second, Ma Long and Xu Xiaoxiao appeared in front of him with worried faces.
"Save Lao Zhang quickly!"
At the same time, Zhang Ning suddenly felt the strength of the tentacles increase, as if he and Zhang Jike were going to be dragged into the house at any time.
Malone didn't hesitate. He ducked down in front of the door and shot at the base of the tentacle.
The reason why he didn't shoot inside the house was because for some unknown reason, there was no light in the house and it was completely dark. Malone couldn't find the target at all, so he had to shoot off the tentacles first.
The seemingly tough tentacles broke immediately after being shot by Ma Long several times, leaving a pool of fluorescent blue liquid on the ground before retreating into the darkness.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Ma Long immediately dragged Zhang Jike on the ground and retreated. The group of people retreated to the suspended corridor and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that the tentacles did not chase them out.
"How are you doing, Lao Zhang?"
Ma Long, who had just taken a few breaths, saw Zhang Jike still lying on the ground motionless, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward, trying to pull Zhang Jike's body over to check.
With the joint efforts of Ma Long and Zhang Ning, Zhang Jike was finally turned over, but when the three of them saw Zhang Jike's appearance, their hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.
Zhang Jike's eyes were closed tightly at this time, his face turned blue, and he looked unconscious.
On his right arm, there was a wound as long as an index finger, and dirty blood was constantly flowing out.
"Damn it, that dog's tentacles are poisonous, Lao Zhang is poisoned!"
Zhang Ning reacted the fastest. He bounced up and screamed strangely.
"You two cover for me, and I'll suck out the venom!"
With that said, Ma Long threw the rifle in his hand to Xu Xiaoxiao, pulled out a saber from between his military boots, quickly made a cross on Zhang Jike's wound, and tied the proximal end of Zhang Jike's wound tightly with a rope. Death, preventing poisonous blood from entering the heart.
Seeing that Ma Long was about to put his mouth on Zhang Jike's wound, Zhang Ning grabbed Ma Long and spoke quickly.
"Let me do it. The toxins of this creature are weird. You, an ordinary person, might be poisoned if you breathe it in. I have a special body, let me try it."
With that said, regardless of whether Ma Long agreed or not, he pushed the soldier who was half kneeling on the ground away with force, lowered his head and sucked hard on the wound.
"Remember to spit out the poisonous blood, don't swallow it!"
Ma Long, who was pushed away by Zhang Ning, didn't react for a moment. When he finally realized what happened, Zhang Ning had already put his mouth on Zhang Jike's wound and sucked on it.
"Pah, don't worry, I still have this bit of common sense."
After spitting out the poisonous blood sucked out of his mouth, Zhang Ning boasted in a stinky way, then leaned down and sucked hard.
After repeating this several times, the color of the blood spit out by Zhang Ning gradually turned red, and Zhang Jike's complexion gradually improved. As the last mouthful of blood was spit out by Zhang Ning, Zhang Jike finally woke up and weakly opened his eyes.
"Hurry, get out of here, go!"
Seeing that Zhang Jike woke up, Zhang Ning stopped taking drugs and blood, took the cloth from Xu Xiaoxiao, and made a simple bandage for the wound.
Just as everyone was preparing to evacuate, a sticky and slippery snapping sound came from one end of the suspended corridor...
