The screams mixed with the white noise of electromagnetic waves were like a bomb detonating in the living room.
Xiao Ran, who was carefully adjusting the radio, was obviously very frightened. Dang even dropped the radio on the coffee table and covered his ears with his hands to resist the sudden scream.
"What's going on..."
Lu Yu also covered his ears immediately, but the scream was like a rapidly rotating electric drill, drilling into his brain.
However, the sound seemed to be just noisy and did not cause any substantial harm to the two of them.
"Turn it off, turn it off!"
Seeing that Xiao Ran was just covering his ears and frowning, with no intention of turning off the radio, Lu Yu quickly spoke, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, preparing to pull out the battery from the back of the radio.
But before his fingers touched the radio, the piercing screams stopped suddenly, and the living room was silent for an instant, as if nothing had happened.
Even the white noise that had been the background music disappeared at this moment.
"Huh? Stopped?"
Before the expression of surprise formed on Lu Yu's face, there was another sizzling sound from the radio.
The previous hoarseness seemed to have exhausted the owner of the scream, causing the sound coming from the radio to be intermittent and very vague.
But if you listen carefully, you can still make out what's playing on the radio.
"Lu Yu... Lu Yu... Lu Yu..."
The tired female voice on the radio kept repeating Lu Yu's name, combined with the monotonous white noise, making the atmosphere in the living room suddenly weird.
Xiao Ran, who was listening on the sidelines, even felt that the temperature in the air had inexplicably dropped several degrees. The coldness dispelled the original heat, making the little Loli shiver involuntarily.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran both remained silent in a tacit understanding, holding their breaths and waiting for the next words on the radio.
But after more than a dozen breaths, the radio still kept repeating Lu Yu's name, like a cassette repeater, repeating it non-stop.
"This radio...could it be haunted..."
The young man frowned and muttered softly.
Apparently, he had lost patience with this weird radio.
Because Lu Yu had no empathy, when his name kept repeating on the radio without any substantial changes, he was not frightened by the weirdness of the matter.
On the contrary, he may feel a little impatient.
"What does the woman on the other side of the radio want to express? Can you please hurry up and say yes? The flowers I'm waiting for here are almost withered..."
This is Lu Yu's true thoughts at this time.
But compared to Lu Yu's irritability, Little Loli was surprisingly patient.
Probably because Xiao Ran is a brain enhancer, after the initial fear subsided, her brain began to think quickly, analyzing as much as possible all the possibilities behind the scene in front of her.
You must know that the radio left by Uncle Ni once received a strange signal. At that time, Xu Xiaoxiao and others went to the No. 7 residential building for a rescue operation, and were attacked by monsters on the way and were almost wiped out.
It was through the prompts from this radio that Lu Yu and Xiao Ran rescued the seriously injured Zhang Jike and Ma Long in time.
"Previously, the voices sending distress messages could not distinguish between men and women, but now the screams on the radio are clearly women's voices..."
The blue and black mandarin duck eyes stared at the radio on the coffee table without blinking. Xiao Ran was constantly thinking in his mind, quietly waiting for the changes in the radio.
But the woman on the radio is like a tireless repeater, just shouting landing over and over again
There are no new changes in Yu's name.
"Is this thing broken? Xiaoran, why don't you debug it again? Why do you just call my name and don't give instructions..."
Lu Yu glanced at the little Loli next to him, and after making sure that the other party didn't see anything, he spoke.
Xiao Ran just shook his head, his eyes still not leaving the radio on the coffee table.
"Judging from the original distress signal, the message received by this radio is unlikely to be sent by the government, but may be sent by 'traveler Zhang Heng'."
"Although it is unclear why he chose this old-fashioned radio as a medium to spread information, one thing is for sure that blindly adjusting the radio channel will not have any effect."
"So we just have to wait?"
Lu Yu took his hands away from his ears, and the expression on his face returned to the indifference of a playing card.
Since Xiao Ran expressed his attitude of waiting, Lu Yu would not have any other ideas.
Anyway, the corridor outside is now crowded with zombies, and I won't be able to go out for a while.
All he could do now seemed to be wait and see what new 'instructions' would come from the radio.
"Could it be that Xu Xiaoxiao and the others are in danger? The person on the other end of the radio wants us to rescue them? It's a pity that we are trapped animals in a cage now and can't get out of this house at all..."
With his hands clasped behind his head, Lu Yu paced back and forth in the living room, muttering in a low voice.
Just as he was turning the twentieth circle in the living room, the radio that was always calling Lu Yu's name suddenly stopped moving. The vague human voice seemed to be tired of shouting and disappeared into the noisy white noise.
"Huh? Stopped?"
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Yu's face, and he turned his head curiously.
But before he could say anything else, a strange whistling sound first attracted the young man's attention.
This whistling sound is somewhat like the sound of a train hitting the air when it is speeding on the rails. It is a movement born from the combination of mass and speed.
And the sound wasn't coming from the radio.
"This sound..."
Lu Yu was just about to say that the sound didn't seem to come from the radio, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the frightened expression on Xiao Ran's face.
"boom!"
A huge explosion filled the eardrums, followed by the sound of gravel and bricks falling to the ground.
The entire residential building was shaking violently at this moment. The chandelier hanging in the living room couldn't bear the sudden tremor and fell hard on the coffee table in front of Lu Yu.
Scattered glass shards splashed onto Lu Yu's body, and even some tiny slag splashed into Lu Yu's mouth.
Fortunately, the speed of these glass fragments was not very fast, so they did not cut Lu Yu's skin.
After the young man puffed a few times, all the debris in his mouth was spit out.
"What is this... bah bah..."
While Lu Yu was protecting his head from possible falling objects on the ceiling, he quickly walked to protect Xiao Ran.
Strange to say, it was also a moment of crisis, but at this time Lu Yu lost the speed and strength he had when dealing with muscle monsters. Even his reaction sensitivity had dropped a lot, and he looked like an ordinary human youth.
"Look out the window!"
Although Xiao Ran was relatively close to where the chandelier fell, she was not harmed. Seeing that Lu Yu was fine, she pointed out the window.
Following the little Loli's finger, Lu Yu was surprised to find that the lighting by the window seemed to be much better, and at the same time there was a lot of dust rising from below, and soon the glass was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Other than that, nothing seems to have changed.
But compared to usual times, Lu Yu always felt that something was missing. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully before screaming in surprise.
"What the hell, the building opposite collapsed?!"
Although the raised dust blocked most of the sight, Lu Yu could still see a large amount of rubble piled up under the building opposite.
The sizzling white noise sounded from the radio again. This time there was no woman screaming, and there was no repeated calling of Lu Yu's name.
The indistinguishable androgynous voice echoed in the center of the living room, expressing only two simple words.
【Escape quickly】
Before Lu Yu and Xiao Ran could react, the strange whistling sound that had appeared before came again, like the footsteps of the God of Death approaching quickly, forcing Lu Yu to make a quick decision.
"Fuck! Run!"
Without too much hesitation, Lu Yu reached forward with his left arm and grabbed the little Loli's hand as if he was possessed.
As for his right hand, he grabbed a few things randomly on the table. Regardless of the situation outside the door, he directly pushed the doorknob with his elbow and rushed out in one breath.
The whole process was so rushed that I didn't even have time to put on my shoes.
Just after Lu Yu rushed out of the door, the weird whistling sound finally reached its destination, and a more violent tremor than before occurred in the residential building.
The originally flat wall cracked instantly, and the steel bars inside creaked, and it seemed that it would not last long.
But just at this moment, a secondary zombie appeared on the escape route in front of him, blocking the way.
This zombie didn't seem to know what was going on in the residential building. Its limited IQ made it unable to make thoughtful moves, and it could only balance its body as much as possible in the swaying building.
"Fuck you!"
Lu Yu, who was running wildly, without saying a word, put his foot in the crook of the zombie's calf, dodged the zombie, and dragged Xiao Ran into the fire escape.
Since the two of them were on the second floor, they arrived at the entrance to the first floor of the residential building within a few steps.
Just when Lu Yu was filled with joy and wanted to push open the door and run out, the sight in front of him made his heart sink hard again.
The door to this residential building is locked!
For insurance reasons, Zhang Jike and others locked all the doors at the two entrances after cleaning up the residential building to prevent zombies from the outside from entering the building.
This was originally a means of security and defense, but now it has become an obstacle preventing Lu Yu from escaping.
"Oops, I have to go back and get the key!"
Lu Yu thought in his mind, stuffed all the things in his hands into Xiaoran's arms, and prepared to go back upstairs.
But as luck would have it, the zombie who had been 'plotted' by Lu Yu had already stood up and was blocking the stairs of the fire escape, quickly groping downstairs.
It smelled the smell of flesh and blood, the smell of food!
No matter how bad the surrounding environment is, the instinct of a zombie still drives it to move downstairs.
Although it was only a secondary infected body blocking the stairs, it was entirely possible to knock it down with Lu Yu's strength.
But if other changes occur while dealing with the secondary infected bodies, then the situation of Lu Yu and Xiao Ran will become very bad.
"Going to get the key means Xiaoran has to wait for about ten seconds in an environment full of zombies."
"Ten seconds is too long!"
Lu Yu was heartbroken, gritted his teeth and exited the fire escape. Looking at the terrified little Loli standing by the door, a forced smile appeared on the young man's face.
"Xiao Ran, do you believe in miracles..."
