Aberration

Chapter 25 The Notebook

It was hard for Xu Bo to imagine that the man in front of him, who was only a few years older than himself, could see things so thoroughly.

When he asked this question, he didn't want to test Yang Xiaochuan's mentality. If the result was as he said, then he would be too ashamed of Yang Xiaochuan.

Hearing his answer like this, I felt more or less relieved.

Judging from the mess at the entrance of the TV tower, it has been a few years since there have been firefights here.Whether it is the erosion of rainwater or natural weathering.

For the remains of human bones, there is no loess coffin cover, only the regret of the ruins of violent corpses.As they walked and looked at the corpse, their hearts were full of mixed emotions.
Easily get rid of a few wandering zombies and come to the gate.The entrance is tightly blocked by densely packed tables, chairs, benches and fortification sandbags.

The monitor in front of the gate has long been out of power and cannot work, and the screws that have not been maintained for a long time have rusted to the point of peeling off.

"How do I get in touch with them?" Yang Xiaochuan asked.

"The original plan was for the helicopter to pick them up at the landing pad of the TV tower. But the helicopter has not arrived. I guess most of them are still at the top of the tower." Xu Bo raised his head and looked towards the top of the tower.

The TV tower has about 30 floors. Looking at this height, Yang Xiaochuan felt a little worried.

Because there was no light, it was very dark inside. Both Yang Xiaochuan and Xu Bo knew that it would be tantamount to committing suicide to rush in rashly.

The large floor-to-ceiling glass on the first floor is not so complete, with traces of damage and large-scale falls, it is easy to determine whether it was caused by a gunshot wound or a heavy squeeze.

The stumps of the corpses on the ground, the blood stains that had dried up long ago, and the daily necessities scattered around. It is conceivable that the military fought desperately to resist the chaos at that time and the tide of corpses.

but
A trace of ominousness flashed across Yang Xiaochuan's calm expression, and dizziness rose immediately.He was touched to the depths of memory by an inexplicable thing again.It's just that what brought him this time was infinite fear.

Trying to stay awake, don't think about it. The bent and twisted barrel of the gun, the huge dent in the iron cabinet.The breakage of the floor-to-ceiling glass metal frame and the half-dead body nailed to the front wall
That's right. It's it!It must have done it!only
A tragic picture flashed in my mind, and a huge figure emerged in a dark corner. A sense of deterrence!The sense of oppression is coming!
Yang Xiaochuan trembled on the spot.Xu Bo hurried over to stabilize his mood:
"Brother! Brother! What's the matter with you? It's okay?!" He knew what Yang Xiaochuan thought again, but this time, Yang Xiaochuan showed fear!How terrible is it that can make this man recall with fear?
Look at this human tragedy that I don't know when it will happen and when it will end.I couldn't help but shudder.

"Xu Bo. I... thought of something terrible. These people died because of it. I don't have time to explain too much to you. If we meet later, I will run away without hesitation, even if I give up this time mission, or give up on you. So... I hope you can understand. This is a warning from the bottom of my heart."

What Yang Xiaochuan said made Xu Bo dare not ask any more questions.He nodded and looked towards the corridor entrance on the first floor.Without the support of electricity, the dark steps look so mysterious.

"Brother, you are here to help me with the security meeting, I will go in and have a look." Xu Bo turned on the flashlight on the mechanical helmet, picked up the automatic rifle and walked in.

Even though the darkness ahead made him somewhat resistant, he could think of his family. He couldn't back down.

How can you not be afraid?For Xu Bo, the way to overcome fear can only be a little bit forward, forward, and forward
Sticking his head out and shining the light into the dark corridor, the pungent corpse smell is suffocating.A surge of acid surged up in his stomach, almost causing Xu Bo to vomit it out on the spot.

There was almost no sound on the corridor, and the breeze was blowing from nowhere, and it was a bit cold.This deathly silence made Xu Bo feel that Dr. Li's distress signal was really sent by a living person?
After exiting the security door leading to the second floor, one glanced at the distance of the corridor. On the large floor-to-ceiling glass, even though it was covered with various rain and blood stains, the light beam could still penetrate in.

Faint light penetrates the medium, and unknown vines and fungi inhabit here.Life is precious. If this is a dying country, how did they survive until now?

"Puff - puff -" two sounds of flapping wings startled Xu Bo.Several birds flew out from the broken glass not far away.Pay attention to the situation under your feet and continue to move forward.Here is a hall, office supplies, tables, chairs and benches have lost their former glory in place.

He didn't dare to relax, and he knew very well that the danger is often in the deeper darkness, but you haven't disturbed it yet.You can avoid it, but don't look into it.Otherwise, the next second may be faced with a bloody mouth.
Xu Bo retreated tactfully. In a square building like this, the layout of each floor is almost the same, just like residential houses in a community, the upstairs and downstairs units are all the same.

It's much easier to figure out the layout of this building.After all, there is no need to pass through the corridors or halls of the downstairs floors on each floor.

As long as the two of them don't make too much noise, don't have nothing to do but search everywhere they go.

Reaching the roof is only a matter of time.

Coming out of the building, it was almost dark.Yang Xiaochuan sat on a sandbag in the fortification nearby, looking at a notebook.

"How are we going?" Yang Xiaochuan put away his notebook and asked when Xu Bo came back.

"I only went up to the 6th floor, and I don't know the situation above. But judging from the current situation, the stairway is still possible to walk. As long as there is no noise, it should not be a big problem to reach the top of the building." Xu Bo finished. , took out the water and took a sip.

"Hey~ I found this notebook in the pocket of the soldier's remains. The date is August 2127. It has been recorded for 8 days in total. It seems that this place has been deserted for some days." Yang Xiaochuan handed the notebook to Xu Wave, find a page with records.

The handwriting is rather scribbled, and it can be seen that the writing is very flustered.Due to some rain on the notebook, the writing on the yellowed part of the page has become somewhat blurred.The page shown by Yang Xiaochuan recorded like this:

"We have been trapped here for 3 days, and the building is full of these infected people. The captain has been asking for help, but the entire military headquarters has heard that it has become a mess. Inside this building, there are Hundreds of people were rescued along the way and survivors who hid in the TV tower."

"The entrance gate of the TV tower uses a biometric identification system. When we retreated in, we switched to manually opening the door. If there are employees of the TV tower among the infected people in front of the door, it will all be over."

"Although the entrance to the gate is blocked, the glass wall curtain on the first floor doesn't seem to last long, and there are more and more infected people outside."

"I think we may really not be able to go back. The captain asked us to retreat to the 15th floor, the staff canteen of this building. In the afternoon, we blocked the steps on the 14th and 15th floors. I don't know how long we will stay here." .Hope the rescue force can come over soon"

. . . . .

The handwriting on the back is blurred and can no longer be read clearly.

Seeing that Xu Bo finished reading, Yang Xiaochuan turned another page.It was only then that Xu Bo realized that the information from the TV tower was actually a hoax.
