Ma Long turned his head when he heard the sound, and immediately saw the octopus monster that was moving towards him.
The "resurrected" octopus monster had abandoned its original way of walking upright and moved forward in a way that was almost crawling. Its four thick tentacles cooperated with the densely packed small tentacles under its body, pushing its slippery body towards Keep moving forward.
Upon seeing this, Ma Long immediately raised his rifle and shot twice at the octopus monster's head.
The bullets were still whizzing towards the monster, hitting the toad-skin-like skin of the octopus monster hard, and bits of blue slurry burst out.
After the monster was hit by the bullet, it lost its movement again, and its tentacles became limp, hanging weakly to the side.
"What, there's another one upstairs?"
In the fire escape, along with Zhang Ning's question, there was also a rustling sound at the same time.
This made Ma Long's slightly relaxed mood become tense again.
Island dilemma - This is a situation Malone has encountered in previous daily training.
In order to cultivate their military qualities and individual combat capabilities, instructors often adopt various abnormal methods to train them, and the island dilemma is one of them.
Trainees who usually perform well will be picked out individually and placed on a small island without any weapons or equipment. Dozens of ordinary trainees holding teaching daggers are arranged around the island.
The purpose of all trainees is to "kill" the remaining trainees and survive until the end.
During the training period, four instructors will be sent to the island. Trainees cannot attack these instructors, otherwise they will be considered out. The instructor's purpose is to eliminate all trainees they can meet.
In this case, trainees who usually perform well are often attacked in groups. Even those with excellent combat qualities are difficult to compete with when they are unarmed. They often solve one or two ordinary trainees. Later, he was eliminated by a group attack.
Malone was also fortunate enough to experience it once, but at that time he was a "besieger."
Now, Malone has become a "besieged". The situation he is encountering now is exactly the same as the island dilemma, except that the result of this failure is not elimination, but death.
"Is the route downstairs clear?"
Ma Long asked aloud, and Zhang Ning's uncertain voice came from the fire escape.
"There seems to be no cobwebs on the road below, so there should be no problem..."
Just as Ma Long was about to say something, he heard Zhang Ning scream again.
"Damn, it's such a big one!"
On the upper floor covered with cobwebs, a spider leg covered with spikes stretched out, which was as thick as an adult's calf.
Zhang Ning was currently pulling at the spider web on Xu Xiaoxiao's body, trying to free the girl who was clinging to the ceiling. However, the silk thread on his hand was too sticky and strong and could not be pulled apart for a while. However, Zhang Ning's hands were faintly There are signs of being entangled.
"Zhang Ning, how are you doing over there?"
Ma Long anxiously walked into the fire escape and saw the giant spider legs extending from the top of the stairs at a glance. He was a little panicked for a moment.
"Brother Xiao Ma, help me stop the big spider above, and I'll untie Xiao Xiao first!"
Zhang Ning said anxiously, but the spider silk on his hand seemed to be getting tighter and tighter, showing no signs of letting go.
"Use a knife!"
When Ma Long saw this, he didn't hesitate. He pulled out the saber on his boots, cut the thread on Zhang Ning's hand in a few strokes, handed the saber to Zhang Ning's hand, and rushed up the stairs with one step.
He wanted to buy time for Zhang Ning and stop the giant spider that kept crawling downstairs.
Ma Long felt that the veins on his temples were beating constantly, which was a sign that the body was under high mental stress.
"Bah!"
A sound like cloth being torn came from outside the fire escape, and at the same time, there was a dazzling blue-white light.
But Zhang Ning, who was concentrating on cutting the cobwebs, didn't notice what was happening behind him, and just desperately cut the threads on the girl's body.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was trapped on the ceiling, saw everything that happened at the door.
"Zhang Ning, wait a minute, something seems to be happening outside!"
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly reminded him, but Zhang Ning still repeated the movements in his hands and said without looking back.
"It's probably that the octopus monster has come back to life. I knew just now that that thing won't die so easily. It's almost untied. You can carry Lao Zhang away as soon as possible. Remember to leave immediately and don't look back..."
While talking, the last thread was cut by Zhang Ning, and Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly fell from the ceiling and fell into Zhang Ning's arms.
"I'm in charge of Captain Davy Jones, and you're in charge of taking Lao Zhang away! Hurry!"
Zhang Ning held the dagger behind her back and said something without looking back, then left the fire escape and rushed towards the suspended corridor.
Seeing that Zhang Ning was also risking his life to buy herself time, the emotional Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a sore nose, but she resisted crying and decisively picked up Zhang Jike from the ground on her back and headed upstairs without looking back. Run down.
Soon, the sound of the impact of heavy objects and the sound of broken concrete continued to come from the suspended corridor, but Xu Xiaoxiao's footsteps did not stop at all, but instead sped up a bit.
Ma Long's gunfire also came from the stairs in the fire escape, but it didn't last long before it became quiet. For a moment, the only sound left in the entire corridor was Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly messy footsteps.
"I must run back and find Boss Lu for help!"
Xu Xiaoxiao suppressed his inner emotions and continued to speed up his movements.
But because she was carrying Zhang Jike on her back, it was extremely difficult to control her center of gravity. Without paying attention, she missed her footing and rolled down the stairs. Her head happened to hit the cement wall, and she lost consciousness on the spot.
…
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you..."
After being safely placed on the mattress, Lu Yu thanked Yan Shao and his wife very politely.
"It's okay, it's okay. In this situation, let's help each other and advance and retreat together!"
Yan Hanben waved his hand carelessly and said breathlessly.
"I'm telling you, you should exercise normally, but it's better now. Carrying someone on your back makes you gasp like this..."
Shao Xiuqi scolded, but the movements of her hands did not stop, and she help Yan Hanben wipe the sweat from his forehead distressedly.
"Not only did I carry a person on my back, but I also moved a lot of supplies."
"By the way, Brother Lu, these foods are all yours. Can you tell me how to distribute them next?"
Yan Hanben seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Well, I think that although food is relatively abundant now, we still need to eat sparingly. After all, we don't know the time when the large force will arrive, and there may be other survivors joining us later."
Lu Yu pondered for a while and then answered.
"I think it is more appropriate to implement a food rationing system. Those who go out to participate in rescue operations should have enough daily needs. Those like me who are recuperating at home can only eat half."
"Is it necessary to be so strict..."
Yan Hanben scratched his head, seeming to think that Lu Yu's food distribution plan was a bit too serious.
Lu Yu chuckled when he heard this and explained.
"Although there is a lot of food now, if it is not available, a large number of survivors will join in. If we let go of food all at once, and the rescue team is delayed for a few days, won't we all be hungry?"
Although he said this on the surface, Lu Yu had other plans in his heart.
"You guys are going to leave in a while. Brother, I will stay here for a long time. If you eat up all my supplies in one go, will I drink the northwest wind?"
Of course, it is impossible to disclose this calculation to the public. Firstly, it would be too complicated to explain. Secondly, people may not necessarily believe it. Instead, they will regard Lu Yu as a madman.
"What Brother Lu said makes sense, tighten it first and then loosen it, and be prepared for a rainy day!"
Yan Hanben thought for a while, and seemed to think that what Lu Yu said made sense, so he nodded in agreement, pulled Shao Xiuqi out of the bedroom, and went to the living room to count the food.
"What about Yao Peiqing? She took away a lot of food alone..."
Xiao Ran asked in a low voice. She really couldn't figure out what Lu Yu had in mind. He clearly didn't intend to leave here, but he shared the food with everyone again and again, as if he would follow everyone away. appearance.
"no need to worry……"
Lu Yu looked like a mountain man with a clever plan, and Xiao Ran became more and more confused.
At this time, Uncle Ni also brought a large number of condiments from home, filling a large carton with everything from Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, cinnamon and so on.
"These are all the seasonings I usually use for cooking. They are very complete. From now on, I will be responsible for cooking."
Yan Shao and his wife in the living room quickly took the cardboard box from the uncle's hand and placed it in the kitchen.
"Hey, uncle, you still have a radio here. It's an antique, right?"
During the process of moving things, Shao Xiuqi found a square black thing at the bottom of the box. When she took it out out of curiosity, she discovered that it was an old-fashioned radio.
"Well, I like to listen to the radio to relieve my boredom before going to bed. It doesn't mean that I want to move in together, so I will take it down right now."
Uncle Ni smiled sheepishly and touched his head, which had few hairs left.
"So this thing works?"
Shao Xiuqi suddenly became curious, turned on the switch of the radio, and started debugging it back and forth.
And Uncle Ni said with a smile.
"It was still working some time ago, and I used it to listen to the news, but since the phone call failed, the radio signal has also disappeared, and it has never gotten better."
"Sizzssssssssssssss..."
Sure enough, as Uncle Ni said, bursts of white noise came from the radio in Shao Xiuqi's hand, and no useful information was received at all.
After Shao Xiuqi debugged it several times, and saw that it was exactly as the uncle said, she lost interest and wanted to turn off the radio in her hand.
At this moment, a vague words came from the speaker of the radio.
"Go and save people quickly..."
Shao Xiuqi made a movement with her hands and cast her eyes for verification on Uncle Ni in front of her. Uncle Ni also looked surprised and quickly took the radio from Shao Xiuqi's hand and started debugging it repeatedly.
As Uncle Ni continued to adjust, the voice on the radio gradually became clearer, and finally converged into a simple sentence.
"Lu Yu, go and save people quickly..."
Shao Xiuqi, Uncle Ni and Yan Hanben all froze in place after hearing this, looking at the radio in front of them in disbelief.
In the end, Uncle Ni reacted quickly and quickly walked back to the bedroom with the radio and placed it in front of Lu Yu.
"Xiao Lu, look what's going on. Why is the radio telling you to save people?"
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu and Xiao Ran immediately focused their attention on the radio, and their expressions slowly became serious...
