Doomsday pawn

"Tap tap... tap..."

In the silent staircase, footsteps suddenly sounded.

On the rooftop... First, Gardenia, who had been in a daze, suddenly raised his head, and then he saw Wei Lai, who had still closed his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes in an instant, and got up from the ground in a flash.

He crouched quickly to the door of the rooftop, turned sideways and hid his body behind the pillar. The sword in his hand was raised diagonally behind his body, and the sharp blade was pointed straight at the slightly thin door.

Wei Lai, who had finished all this in just a few seconds, raised his eyes and gave Gardenia a look that said everything was OK.

He can guarantee that no matter what comes out of the door in a while, his knife will definitely cut into that guy's neck as fast as possible.

And this... is his enhanced self-confidence!

On the other side, Gardenia, who also heard the noise, bowed her body slightly and stared at the door with her big eyes. Her hands were placed on the small of her back behind her, where... she hung her axe.

Close! Just a few steps away...

Wei Lai tilted his ears and listened carefully to the movements in the stairwell. The more carefully he listened, the more surprised he became. The center of gravity of his footsteps was too unstable, not at all mechanical like a zombie.

The movement of walking.

Just when he was holding up his sword and about to take a look down, a voice usually used to tease puppies sounded from the corridor again: "Chirp, chirp... chirp..."

Then came Li Wu's voice: "It's me!"

A few seconds later…

"Didn't I ask you to search for supplies? Why are you back again?" Wei Lai walked out from behind the pillar, put away his sword and looked at Li Wu and Shitou who sneaked up to the roof and asked, "Where is Kong Yue?"

"You should listen to me..."

Facing Wei Lai who asked questions immediately, Li Wu first simply said that he asked Shi Shi to go back and call for help. Then he looked at Shi Shi and said, "It's okay for a woman to make a small fuss. There are so many zombies this time."

, she can’t be of much help. I arranged for her to protect those villagers and go back first.”

"As for us? We just came back to help you!"

Stone on the side grinned: "Brother Lai, we are really here to help!"

"Close the door and lie down!"

Just when Wei Lai was about to say something more, he turned his head and suddenly noticed that the group of corpses in the distance had changed.

"What happened again?" Li Wu asked, half-crouching.

Wei Lai leaned back on the wall again and pointed behind him: "The group of corpses has moved. Let's go over there after they disperse!"

These words made Li Wu, who was leaning next to him, a little confused: "Should we really go? There might be some big guy there?"

"Are you scared?" Wei Lai asked, holding the corner of his mouth while smoking a cigarette.

These words made Gardenia and Shitou, who were sitting at both ends, look at Li Wu who was chattering at the same time. The contempt in their eyes was very obvious.

"Just go, no one is afraid of whom!" Li Wu, who was being watched by three people, couldn't hold on any longer. He said angrily, then turned his head to the side, closed his eyes and rested.

Wei Lai and the other three looked at each other and smiled, and the scene became quiet again.

Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon. By the time Wei Lai ate something and raised his head again, the corpses outside had completely dispersed, leaving only dots of dried blood on the ground.

"It's time to go!"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still more than three hours until dark. We have to be prepared to stay outside tonight." Wei Lai patted his butt and stood up, looking down at the six-yuan electronic watch on his wrist and said.

.

"The formation remains unchanged, let's go!"

As soon as he spoke, the three of them, Gardenia and others, who had been making preparations, stood up at the same time. They gently paused their numb legs on the ground. When they went downstairs, they automatically lined up with Wei Lai in front and Gardenia in the back.

queue.

The formation marched all the way north, hiding here and there under the leadership of Wei Lai, and soon arrived around the flower base.

What was a little surprising was that they found that the further north they went, the fewer zombies were wandering upstream on the roadside. After entering the flower base, they didn't even see a single zombie.

It seems that not only the zombies on the periphery have dissipated, but also the zombies in the base have gone out in droves. I don’t know where they went.

Sudden…

Wei Lai, who had already followed the wall to the entrance of the flower base, stopped and stood there blankly for a long time.

Because he always felt that the further he went in, the more and more uncomfortable he became, as if his whole heart was being held gently. The restrictive feeling made him breathless.

But now that he's here, if he doesn't find out what's inside, I'm afraid he'll have to be on tenterhooks all day long, not daring to relax, even at the gathering place.

"This place doesn't feel right to me. There might be a big guy in there. You all should be careful." Wei Lai reminded him with his head tilted. He held the knife in both hands and took a deep breath.

After taking a deep breath, he resolutely stepped into the door.

Behind him... Li Wu and Shitou were also holding their own guys tightly, not daring to take a step down. Even Gardenia, who was walking at the end, took out his ax from his lower back in advance.

Obviously, like Wei Lai, she realized something was wrong early on. She vaguely felt her body's early warning of unknown dangers.

Step into the door of the flower base...

The soil in the yard that was originally used to plant various flowers and plants was covered with a dark red layer of unknown thickness. Especially the outer areas, after being soaked in a large amount of blood for a long time, one stepped on it.

It actually gives people a slightly sticky muddy feeling.

Soaked in blood...dried up, soaked again...dried up again...

The ground that had been repeated so many times was filled with a fishy smell. The smell that made people want to retching was so pungent that it was impossible to resist, and it went straight into the forehead.

After just a few steps, the sticky blood and mud, which had been trampled by countless zombies, was covered in the soles of each of their shoes, making it impossible to shake them off.

The average age of the four of them was twenty-five or six years old. They had never seen such a scene before. What's more, everyone knew what kind of creature the blood under their feet, which gave them a slippery feeling, belonged to.

"Ugh!" Big Shitou was the first to vomit.

Li Wu, who originally wanted to compare with Wei Lai's ability to hold on for a while, turned his head when he heard the noise and happened to see the puddle of vomit at the foot of the stone, "I...vomit...vomit..."

Gardenia, who was walking at the end, immediately raised her head and looked to one side. Her eyes were wide open, and her lips were tightly closed and pressed together. She was very uncomfortable and it looked like she might not be able to hold on much longer.

Wei Lai didn't even dare to look back at this moment. Although he was the leader, he didn't care about saving face at this moment. His cheeks were bulging so high that he was trying very hard to suppress them.

A feeling of retching in the buttocks.

But he still couldn't control his throat, and from time to time he would make a choking sound.

Who would have thought…

They came so cautiously, but as soon as they stepped through the door, they almost fell into this insignificant biochemical weapon before they even saw the real owner.

Wei Laisheng was afraid that he would spit it out, so he didn't dare to open his mouth at all. His eyebrows were squeezed together desperately, and he raised his hand to greet the guys behind him who had lost half of their lives.

Walk!

Fortunately, this unacceptable range is not large. With the greenhouse in front as the center, it is just a ring four or five meters apart.

Wei Lai, who walked out of the ring, put the sword under his feet, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and took a few deep breaths before suppressing the feeling in his chest: "Oh my god, this smell is so strong."

"Brothers, wipe your mouth quickly, it's all spilled."

"Fuck, it stinks." Li Wu raised his head and gasped like a dead fish. Shitou nodded frequently.

"there!"

The sudden words caused Wei Lai and the others to immediately stop their movements and all turned to look behind them.

Just because the one who spoke was actually Gardenia who had never opened her mouth!

She was slightly bent over, holding her knees with one hand, and pointing forward blankly with the other hand. There was a rare look of dullness and fear in her eyes.

Whoosh!

Ignoring Gardenia's loss of expression, the three of them quickly turned their heads and looked behind them. For a moment, they showed the same frightened and shocked expressions as hers!
