Lanyue Garden Community, residential building No. 7, collapsed suspended corridor.
The rubble that had been piled high on the suspended corridor was scattered everywhere. A shallow pit appeared where the octopus monster's corpse should have been. Inside was a translucent humanoid corpse, and a large number of corpses extending from the pit. Light blue slime extending to the fire escape.
The traces of this mucus have obvious signs of drying up, reflecting a crystal shimmer in the sun. They look like the traces left by snails after crawling, but unlike snails, these mucus have been exposed to the air for a long time. , has been oxidized into an ugly black color, and also exudes a vague stench.
The traces made of mucus did not stop in the fire escape, but followed the stairs to the corner of the 13th floor platform, where a huge spider corpse lay, but at this time the corpse was covered with shiny The mucus opened a hole the size of a fist in the sunken head and the huge abdominal cavity. The edges were extremely smooth, as if they had been cut by precision instruments.
The corpse of the giant spider has long been turned into an empty shell, and the flesh and blood in it has disappeared. After losing the support of muscles, its originally hard and steel-like shell has become fragile, covered with fine cracks, as if As long as you touch it lightly, it will turn into powder and immediately dissipate in the air.
Going up the steps again, the traces of mucus extended to the 14th floor. As if guided by a map, he accurately turned into the fire door on the 14th floor and came to the dark corner where Zhang Heng once "picked mushrooms". .
There were clusters of closely arranged spider eggs, but those eggs had long been gray and shriveled, and the life essence inside them had been absorbed. There was no longer any possibility of hatching. They were gathered together in a pile, looking dilapidated.
But what was different from before was that in the center of those gray and shriveled spider eggs, there was a giant blue egg with a faint fluorescence flowing on its surface.
This egg is only about the height of a seven or eight-year-old child. Its surface is covered with a thin layer of mucus. The shell does not look like a calcified hard shell, but is closer to a soft flesh membrane. It is covered with interlaced and messy blood filaments, and blood filaments gather together. It formed several thick blood vessels, connected to the broken spider eggs around it. With the regular vibration of the organisms in the egg, it continuously absorbed nutrients from the surrounding ruins and slowly instilled them into the giant blue egg. With every trace of infusion, the giant egg Just expand a little, and continue to strengthen the life form in the egg...
…
"We, the common people, are so, so happy today..."
Lu Yu hummed an off-key song, carrying a seventy-centimeter-long multifunctional crowbar on his left shoulder, and holding a large hammer in his right hand. He wandered down the stairs to the eighth floor and stood at the fire door on the eighth floor. When he reached the door, he pretended to stop, looked around, and murmured.
"Which one needs to break into the house?"
"Oh, it turns out that Ms. Yao Peiqing's home needs to be broken into. Brothers, let's do it!"
Of course, all this was done by Lu Yu to amuse himself. This would only happen when there was no living person around him, and it also had to meet the necessary conditions for a happy mood.
"Boom!"
Lu Yu directly aimed the crowbar at the crack of the door, picked up the hammer and smashed it towards one end.
Since the door of Yao Peiqing's house is made of precious wood, the hard crowbar quickly penetrated into the crack of the door. Seeing that the top of the crowbar still made a sound of contact with metal, Lu Yu said
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Then he put down the hammer in his hand, held the tail of the crowbar with both hands, and began to shake it.
He doesn't know any advanced lock-picking skills, let alone "how to open the door without destroying the keyhole." It's the end of the world now, and Yao Peiqing is too dead to die anymore, so he uses violent means to break the door. Opening the door will not put any burden on Lu Yu's heart.
Even this bandit-like robbery activity brought a novel excitement to Lu Yu's heart, a pleasure similar to crime.
"Is it possible that I was born to be a villain?"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Lu Yu looked at the door that had been destroyed by him and thought a little funny.
Although the door is made of wood, the lining of the lock core is still made of metal. The tools in Lu Yu's hand could not directly destroy the lock core, so he had to use a multi-functional crowbar as an awl and a hammer to remove the lock core from the door panel little by little. Button it out.
"Bang"
Finally, after the last hammer fell, the entire door lock lost its support and fell heavily to the ground. Without the obstruction of the lock core, the door opened smoothly.
Without any hesitation, Lu Yu raised his legs and walked into the house. The decoration in the house was more luxurious than ordinary people's houses. The decorations on the cabinets were just agate and jade. The solid wood floor in the living room was laid in the middle. At first glance, it looks like a high-quality floor. What’s even more exaggerated is that there is a bearskin rug in the center of the living room, and it’s also a polar bear with pure white fur!
"Really? Doesn't Yao Peiqing call himself a teacher? The level of luxury in this family is comparable to that of a wealthy businessman. It seems that he receives a lot of gifts from students..."
Lu Yu kept sighing in a low voice. When he saw this luxurious decoration, he had to admit that there was a slight fluctuation in his heart. At that second, he even thought something like "I should take off my shoes to prevent the floor from being dirty." This idea.
However, after struggling for a while, he finally did not take off the shoes on his feet, but chose to step in carefully.
Lu Yu couldn't explain why he had to be so careful. Maybe it was because his parents taught him well when he was young, so he behaved more well-educated when entering other people's homes?
Looking at the broken door behind him that was punctured by a crowbar, the young man laughed at himself again and shook his head to get rid of these inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
"Where is the pistol..."
His eyes searched back and forth in the living room, trying to find Zhang Jike's stolen pistol, but unfortunately, Yao Peiqing did not seem to put the gun in a conspicuous position. It seemed that he would have to go through some searching to get the pistol.
"If I were Yao Peiqing, where would I hide the pistol after I stole it?"
Lu Yu began to think about the problem from the other party's perspective. This was a method he often used when facing Party A's father. Due to his lack of empathy, he was very weak in work communication, but in order to avoid problems in serious work and influence Regarding his own income, Lu Yu often uses empathy to consider what the other party needs. This has solved many problems for him and is also one of the foundations for him to be able to live in the company.
"I must be using the pistol for self-defense. Since it is for self-defense, it should be where I can get it at any time. Since Yao Peiqing did not carry it with him, the pistol must be in this house."
Lu Yu paced back and forth in the living room, stroking the girl with his right hand.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Bearded chin.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked towards the bedroom in the house.
The most insecure moment for a person is undoubtedly when sleeping. Even though Yao Peiqing is a woman who is so menacing during the day, as if even a zombie dares to take a bite, in the end she is a woman and a human being. She is afraid that she will feel lonely in the dead of night. In order to resist the fear caused by loneliness, she will inevitably hide the pistol in her bedroom to provide herself with a so-called sense of security!
Sure enough, after rummaging around in the equally luxuriously decorated bedroom for a while, Lu Yu found the missing pistol and two spare magazines filled with bullets from the small drawer of the bedside table.
Lu Yu counted and found that each magazine was filled with eight bullets. In addition, the pistol itself came with a magazine and there was already a loaded bullet in the chamber, so he now had a total of eight bullets. For twenty-five rounds.
Although he has not received professional training and the first time he touched a gun was a few days ago. It can be said that he has not even gotten started with the accuracy of firearms. However, this does not prevent Lu Yu from being happy about getting a pistol. You must know that this But the self-defense weapon you earned in vain, with it, is equivalent to having an extra trump card in your hand.
The previous encounter with Li Zhihao flashed through his mind again. When the other party deliberately revealed the revolver on his waist, it directly changed Lu Yu's attitude. Although Li Zhihao did not draw a gun and threaten him throughout the whole process, nor did he show a strong attitude, he had The invisible threat posed by guns perfectly achieved what the other party wanted to achieve.
"Not having a gun in your hand is completely different from having a gun but not using it..."
Lu Yu stared at the CF-98T pistol in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. After playing with it for a while, he inserted it into his waist, put away the two magazines, and left the bedroom on tiptoe.
Yao Peiqing also stored a large amount of supplies at her home, which she had moved from Lu Yu's home. Seeing several open boxes of mineral water piled in the corner, Lu Yu knelt down and began to examine them carefully.
At first, he made a small mark on the outside of the box where the tap water was filled, in order to distinguish it so that he would not accidentally get the tap water when drinking. However, he did not expect that he ignored this, and Yao Peiqing beat him to it. After moving home, in the final analysis, it was a matter of one's own fault.
Soon, Lu Yu discovered the mark he had made previously, a small black cross that he had drawn with a marker. Outsiders would naturally not understand it and would only regard it as a mark that was already on the box. In the eyes of the person who made the mark, it is quite clear.
"It's better to keep this box of water here. It will be tiring to move it down..."
Lu Yu stared blankly at the half-box of tap water left and murmured to himself.
It seems that Yao Peiqing should have opened the box of tap water containing the virus first and drank it. Only half of the bottles in the box were left. But why did Xu Xiaoxiao react as soon as he drank the tap water, but Yao Peiqing waited so long before turning into a zombie? ?
"Is it possible that this virus also has a shelf life?"
Lu Yu unscrewed the bottle curiously and looked inside, but the water in the plastic bottle was clear and transparent, with no impurities or precipitation at all.
"No matter, I got up early in the morning and was busy doing something. I'm a little hungry now. Let's go downstairs to eat first."
After touching his stomach that started to protest, Lu Yu stood up, picked up the multi-functional crowbar, put it on his shoulder, and walked swaying downstairs...
