Finally it was Yan Yueming's turn. He and Shen Yinchuan stepped into the elevator one after another.
At this time, Jiang Fan, Zhang Jiaoyue and others had already taken the elevator up first, and there were only the last ten or twenty people left in the parking lot. Most of these people are at the bottom of the rankings, and there is also No. 3 who has been staying away from the crowd, leaning on the pillar with his arms folded and not in a hurry to act.
The moment the elevator door closed, Yan Yueming met his eyes.
Checking his eyes, he was a lone wolf.
There were 7 people standing in the elevator car. It is not safe enough if there are too few people, and it is easy to get crowded if there are too many people. 6-8 people is the number that stabilizes after batches of candidates take the elevator.
Yan Yueming was observing outside just now. On the floor display screen, the numbers on almost every floor paused. Most people go to the first floor, with fewer people going to the higher floors. There is no 4 in the middle.
After he came in, he took a look and found that there was no 4 in the floor button. The highest was the 11th floor.
When all the candidates entered the elevator, their wristbands did not respond. However, everyone's posture, steps, words, positions, genders, etc. were all different, so this move was safe.
But after the elevator door is closed and the elevator slowly moves upward, it is not necessarily the case.
To be on the safe side, Yan Yueming decided to follow the crowd and go to the first floor. Shen Yinchuan had no objection to this.
The time from -1 to the first floor was very short, so Yan Yueming took the time to observe the situation in the elevator. There is a faint musty smell here, like the smell of something that cannot be dried in the sun on a rainy day, and there is also a vague smell of... rot.
Coupled with those blood stains, it was really difficult for him not to think of the worst.
"Did a fight happen?"
"This blood stain was left by someone who dragged him out of the elevator and slapped his hand on the elevator door?"
"Could it be the extra points the examiner mentioned, those five innocent people?"
"The footprints on the ground are so messy that I can't tell them apart at all."
Other people in the elevator were also observing, but with too little information and limited time, they soon reached the first floor. The elevator door opened, and noisy people rushed in.
What's going on outside?
Yan Yueming vaguely felt that something was wrong with the voice, as if something had happened, and it was occasionally mixed with some exclamations. But he didn't rush out in a hurry, and still blended in the crowd without showing off.
There is a clock on the wall directly opposite the elevator, which reads 8:11 a.m., which matches real-world time.
The first floor is the company lobby.
Yan Yueming walked from the inside out, and could see the company's door in front of her. It was a revolving glass door, with two glass sides broken and stuck together with black tape.
Not only that, the huge ten-meter-high glass exterior wall was also covered with spiderweb-like cracks and black tape covering the cracks.
Which company is so talented and uses tape to repair glass?
Yan Yueming was in good condition at the moment and was still in the mood to complain, but he soon lost his composure because he found a uniformed security guard standing next to the revolving glass door.
NPC?
Why are there NPCs here? !
Although the difficulty level of the Qi Bureau's establishment exam is high, most of the candidates are fresh graduates. To ensure safety, the exams in previous years were basically as difficult as a quiet neighborhood or a wedding banquet in a mountain village. There has never been an NPC. And once
With NPCs, things become uncontrollable.
Teachers and seniors will definitely not lie, so now this is...
Yan Yueming was shocked. Seeing many people gathered at the door, he immediately ignored his teammates and walked over quickly. As he got closer and saw the security guard's face clearly, his heart skipped a beat again.
The security guard was about the same age as himself, with a young face, but his face was a stiff blue-white color, his eyes were blue, and his eyes were dull. His standing posture was very slumped, his shoulders were slumped, his eyes were slightly lowered to the ground, his chest did not rise and fall, and he even looked like he was not breathing.
"What the hell is this?"
"Zombie? Zombie?"
"Why is there no reaction at all?"
"The face is exactly the same as the one at the front desk. It's really weird."
"Hello? Hello?"
…
Everyone had different opinions, but when Yan Yueming heard them mention the front desk, he immediately looked back and saw someone standing at the front desk. He had the same face as the security guard, with the same pale complexion and dull eyes. The only difference was that he was wearing a suit and his neck was crooked, as if his bones were broken.
etc.
Yan Yueming looked at the security guard's chest again, where there was a nameplate that read "Security Trouble". His thoughts moved slightly, and he looked at the front desk's chest again. Sure enough, there was a nameplate there that said "Trouble at the front desk."
"Trouble...Infinite...Company?" Shen Yinchuan's voice suddenly came out from the side.
Yan Yueming listened to his muttering, blinked, and suddenly had an idea. Trouble Unlimited Company, when they heard the name, the subconscious reaction of all of them should be that this company will have a lot of trouble.
But these two nameplates gave another meaning.
The trouble is names.
"Isn't this too fucked up?" The voice of complaints floated into Yan Yueming's ears not far away.
There were about thirty or forty candidates gathered on the first floor. The exam had just begun and they entered an unfamiliar environment. No one moved. But there are inevitably those who are brave enough to take the elevator directly to the second floor, and then quickly come down the stairs again, bringing a piece of news.
The company employees on the second floor are also called trouble.
There is trouble, and there is infinity.
But do they share the same face, or is there only one employee in this company, called "Trouble"? Yan Yueming couldn't tell the difference for a moment, looking at the background wall behind the front desk.
【Trouble Unlimited Company】
This company is called this name, not just the code name given to this gap by the Qi Phase Bureau.
"Do you smell anything?" Yan Yueming returned to Shen Yinchuan and asked in a low voice.
"A little bit of rotten smell." Shen Yinchuan thought about it, and finally revealed a hint of shrewdness under his decadent appearance. He motioned to Yan Yueming to look outside the company door. Outside there was an ordinary street scene, with roads, landscape trees, and cars parked on the roadside, but everything looked dilapidated.
The road was very dirty, leaves fell all over the ground, and the car windows were covered with
After it was smashed, there was still a pool of dried black blood on the roadside.
Across the street is a bus stop.
The metal seats on the platform were flattened by something unknown, and there was vague blood stains on the billboards. Yan Yueming took out a small, palm-sized telescope from the black backpack issued by the Gas Physics Bureau and took a closer look.
advertise
There are many small advertisements posted on the sign.
On one of them were two lines of large, scrawled red characters, which looked like they were written in blood.
【Run! 】
【There are zombies! 】
Yan Yueming's scalp felt numb.
At the beginning of the assessment, everyone's focus was within the company and had not yet expanded to the outside world. At this moment, seeing Yan Yueming watching with a telescope, many people followed suit.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
"Fuck! ()"
“?[(()”
No one could remain calm. All the candidates gathered near the security guard and the front desk took a step back.
"Why are there zombies in the gap? Zombie siege? The end of the world?"
"But why didn't the two troublesome security guards and the front desk respond at all? The zombies in the movie are all dirty, but their clothes are all clean, and there are no obvious injuries. At most, they smell a bit rotten. "
"This is not normal."
"Zombies have evolved?"
"Does he eat people?"
…
The bold ones approached the trouble again and launched a new round of research.
Jiang Fan was also on the first floor. Yan Yueming paid attention to him with his peripheral vision and saw him frowning slightly and whispering to his teammates what he didn't know.
Yan Yueming also lowered his voice and said to his teammates: "If my guess is correct, it rained a few days ago, and the rain brought the virus."
Shen Yinchuan: "Oh."
Yan Yueming saw that he didn't ask how he made the judgment, so he couldn't help but glance at him again, but didn't ask any more questions. He was thinking now that since this examination room was found by the search and rescue department, when they were in the car just now, the members of the third team also said that there would be invigilators in the examination room. So where are they?
upstairs?
Who left the message on the bus stop? Is it a pre-existing plot setting, or was it left by the invigilator? He still insisted on his original judgment, that is, this examination room would not have any dangerous or life-threatening settings. They came to take the exam, not to die. Dead Rising is crazy.
The bloodstains at the scene have solidified, and dust has fallen on the roof of the car outside. At least it is not "when the zombie siege is in progress" now, but more like the dust has settled.
The word in blood told them to run quickly. What would happen if they got out of the gate? How wide is this gap? Where does the street outside lead to on the left and right sides?
Countless questions filled Yan Yueming's mind, making him a little CPU overloaded and confused.
"What do you think?" he asked Shen Yinchuan.
"I don't know." Shen Yinchuan replied.
The two stared at each other.
Yan Yueming had no choice but to return to the starting point of his thoughts.
He was able to conclude that "rain brings viruses", firstly because there were obvious signs of being soaked in water in the underground parking lot. It was cold, damp, and still dripping water. And he happened to have seen the heavy rain in the gap with his own eyes and knew some of the facts. .
He also knew that there were wandering corpses in Fengxue.
Wandering corpses are also corpses.
It's normal for corpses to have some viruses on them, and it's also weirdly hot after heavy rains, so it's normal for something to happen. In other words, whatever happens in the gap is normal.
If the source of the virus is wandering corpses and water is the carrier, it will affect
() Here, it is not impossible. But Yan Yueming had never heard that the townspeople of Orange Town turned into zombies. They were still alive and well when the senior left, so if his guess was correct, there might be another necessary condition.
For example, something unique to this gap can react with viruses in the water and turn people into zombies.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Yueming had already thought a lot. But no matter what the truth is, he feels that water is important.
There was only a bottle of mineral water in the backpack issued by the Bureau of Gas Physics.
Over there, Jiang Fan seemed to have reached a conclusion after discussing with his teammates, and began to remind everyone to pay attention to the water source, and also revealed some news about the changes in the gaps.
Yan Yueming felt relieved when he saw that he mentioned it.
On the one hand, Jiang Fan and his teammates also had such an inference, which just proved that Yan Yueming's direction was most likely correct.
On the other hand, Yan Yueming doesn't want to be in the limelight, but he is not the kind of person who holds back information and refuses to say anything, watching others take risks while he takes the lead, so he is conflicted and entangled. But with Jiang Fan here, he no longer had such entanglements.
Jiang Fan, you are the best!
As expected of No. 1!
Maybe Yan Yueming's gaze was too hot and real, so Jiang Fan looked over here as he spoke. The moment their eyes met, Jiang Fan was slightly startled.
What happened to that Xiao Ming?
Why are you suddenly looking at me with that grateful look?
Did I do something?
Even if you share some information, it doesn’t have to be like this.
Yan Yueming didn't care what he was thinking, he just wanted to thank him. Smiling at Jiang Fan, he called on his teammates to run away, "We don't have enough food and water. Let's go look for survival supplies first."
Shen Yinchuan: "Yeah."
Except when explaining and analyzing, Shen Yinchuan cherishes words like gold.
At this moment, the radio suddenly sounded. With a trace of noisy current sound, after three or four seconds of lag, it returned to smoothness.
Everyone looked up in astonishment, only to hear a somewhat powerful female voice on the radio, "Hello everyone, I am the examiner this time, the captain of the third team of the Search and Rescue Department of Shangfang City Gas Physiology Bureau, Xiao Chu. Now I will inform you of the latest news. Condition--"
"Candidate No. 89 has been eliminated."
"The number of candidates remaining on the field now: 99."!
