Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 25 The Mysterious Tuantuan

After making up his mind, Kong Zhe stopped dawdling, got up and took a look at the room. The gate not far away must be unusable, not to mention that there are monsters in the stairs over there, not to mention the location they agreed upon. It's the stairs on the opposite side. It takes a long way to go out from the gate to get to the opposite side.

Apart from the gate, the only possible exit in this room is the small window on the wall.

Kong Zhe pulled Xiao Lei to a distance, tidied up the space near the window, and built a table with the only tables and chairs left in the hut.

Kong Zhe jumped up and looked out the window. This place should be facing the inside of the second floor of the supermarket. The goods on the second floor are home appliances and stationery.

After careful observation, Kong Zhe did not find any trace of the monster. Presumably even if there is a monster on the second floor, it should be far away.

But the window is too small to get out.

Kong Zhe jumped off the platform, knocked a few times on the wall on this side, and listened to the sound.Then he took out a long knife and stabbed it hard at the wall.

The long knife pierced through the wall without any hindrance, and entered at the end.

Kong Zhe's eyes lit up, he was right, the material of this wall is only plywood mixed with a layer of thick cardboard, it is much weaker than those cement walls, even the knife in his hand can easily destroy it .

Kong Zhe held the handle of the knife and drew it on the wall. Immediately, he broke a big hole in the wall.

The strong light suddenly shone into the dark room, causing Xiaolei to narrow her eyes slightly.

Kong Zhe winked at the little dog, and the little dog immediately understood, walked out of the hole first, and went to explore the way first.

"Little sister... um, what's your name?" Kong Zhe walked up to the little girl and asked.

"My name is Lin Xiaolei, Brother Ye, please call me Xiaolei, that's what my sister calls me!" Xiaolei replied with a smile on Kong Zhe.

"Well, Xiaolei, you have to remember, when you go out later, follow me closely. And no matter what kind of situation you encounter, you are not allowed to bark. If you can't help it, cover your mouth yourself, understand? ?” Kong Zhe exhorted solemnly.

Seeing that he was speaking so seriously, Xiaolei nodded hastily, with a resolute look on her face, like a soldier about to die.

"Let's go."

Kong Zhe walked out of the hole with Xiao Lei and looked at the rows of stationery items on the second floor. Although these things were not very useful, Kong Zhe still collected some along the way. Anyway, there is enough space in the ring, and there may be something in the future. time can be used.

The area of ​​this shopping mall is really too big, so even though Kong Zhe tried to follow the route that the puppy explored as much as possible, it is still inevitable to encounter monsters.

Fortunately, these monsters were scattered on the second floor. Kong Zhe avoided them if he could. If he couldn't avoid them, he rushed to attack with the puppy, and dealt with them before they barked.

Xiaolei, who was behind, followed Kong Zhe closely all the way, staring at Kong Zhe's back, because she really didn't dare to look at those monsters, but even so she was extremely nervous, covering her mouth with her hands the whole time, afraid I couldn't help crying out, walking very stiffly, like a wooden man without joints, and turned around several times during the period.

After cleaning up seven or eight monsters along the way, Kong Zhe finally reached the stairs on the third floor.These monsters on the road contributed 4 silver coins and 120 experience points to him, but unfortunately none of the equipment fell out.

"Ah, it's the group's shoes!"

As soon as she reached the third floor, Xiaolei immediately found the little red shoe on the ground and screamed out.

Picking up the shoes, Xiaolei looked around blankly, but she didn't see the shadow of Tuantuan at all. She couldn't help but panic, her big eyes filled with tears.

"Could it be that she really... woo, don't..."

Kong Zhe touched his chin and carefully looked at the surrounding environment. Soon he discovered some details, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then he patted Xiaolei's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, it seems your friend is fine!"

"Really?"

Xiaolei hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve when she heard the words, and asked expectantly.

Kong Zhe nodded, walked to the window, and explained to her: "Look here, there are traces of climbing, and there is also a footprint on the opposite wall. It seems that the shape matches this shoe..."

Then Kong Zhe pointed to the corner of the ceiling of the stairs, where there is a small hole: "The top is a ventilation duct, the size should be just enough for a petite girl to climb in, and this shoe should be caught by her foot after climbing in." The edge of the pipe fell off."

After Kong Zhe finished speaking, he pulled her to the front of the window and pointed out, "Look at the direction of this pipeline, it is connected to the building opposite. If I remember correctly, the one opposite should be an abandoned warehouse. There are usually no warehouses in it. Humans, there should be no monsters to follow. So, don't worry, your friend is fine, if she is smart enough, she will know to stay there quietly."

Xiaolei finally smiled when she heard the words, wiped away the remaining tears, and said happily: "Hee hee, that's great. I knew, the group will be fine."

Seeing her smiling like a flower, Kong Zhe couldn't help smiling, but then he looked at the footprint on the wall with some doubts.

What he just said is simple, but if you really want to use your strength to climb into the vent on the top of the wall, even a trained adult can't do it, let alone a teenage girl.

After pondering for a while, Kong Zhe still couldn't help asking: "Xiao Lei, what exactly does your friend do?"

Xiaolei seemed to know what he was wondering about, and proudly said with a small face: "I just said, the group is amazing, she is a magician!"

"What? A magician?"

Kong Zhe was surprised. When talking about magician, the first thing he thought of was the profession of the awakened one.

Could it be that this mysterious group was one of the two who awakened before him?

But then Kong Zhe shook his head, if she is really such a powerful person, then there is no need to run, the few small fish and shrimps in the stairs are not enough for her to abuse.

After thinking for a while, Kong Zhe had no choice but to let go of the matter, but he was curious about this group.Anyway, I want to help Xiaolei find her, and it's time to see who she is.

Looking back, Kong Zhe began to think about how to get to the opposite building.

Don't even think about going downstairs now, the first floor is already full of monsters, going down is courting death, if you want to get to the opposite building, the only way now is to keep going up.

The distance between this building and the opposite building is about ten meters. It is impossible to jump through the window, but there is a way to pass from the top of the building.

This goes back to the history of the establishment of this shopping mall. This shopping mall is well-known throughout Qingcheng, and Kong Zhe naturally knows it. The two buildings seem to be owned by the same property owner.

At the beginning, the boss actually planned to build a sky bridge on the roof of the two buildings to connect the two buildings, but later, considering the practicality and economy, the sky bridge was half built and stopped working. It looks like a bridge was blown off in the middle, so this mall is called Broken Bridge Mall.

Although the distance between the two buildings is more than ten meters away, the distance between the two ends of the broken bridge is actually less than five meters. Even ordinary adults can jump over as long as they have some long jump skills and enough run-up. Few people in the world dare to do so.

One of the biggest problems is the height of the broken bridge, which is nearly 20 meters above the ground. Ordinary people will feel dizzy at a glance, let alone jumping four or five meters in the air. Unless the psychological shadow is overcome, it is very likely that the jump will There was a mistake at the time and he fell to pieces.

But this is not a problem for Kong Zhe. With his current physical fitness as an awakened person, he can easily jump over even if he is carrying someone on his back. It can be said that his psychological quality has been tempered like steel, not to mention more than 20 meters, even at an altitude of several hundred meters, he can guarantee that his movements will not be deformed in the slightest.

"Let's go!"

The third floor of this shopping mall is a small library, and the fourth floor is an office area. The things on these two floors are not very useful to Kong Zhe, so he didn't bother to go in and collect them, so he took Xiaolei directly to the fifth floor. .

As soon as he reached the fifth floor, a strong smell of blood came over his face. Kong Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and hurriedly pulled Xiaolei behind him to block her view.

There are many monsters and human corpses piled up at the door of the fifth floor.

The death conditions were extremely tragic, especially the human corpses, not to mention being bitten by monsters so that they were inhuman. There were several sentences in which the female corpses even died naked.

Avoiding the corpses here, Kong Zhe took Xiaolei to the entrance of the fifth floor quietly.

The door on the fifth floor was tightly closed. As soon as he approached the door, Kong Zhe immediately heard a slight voice coming from inside.

Kong Zhe pressed his ears against the door, and with his sensitive hearing as an awakened person, he quickly judged that there were at least 20 people inside.

After thinking about it, Kong Zhe stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The fifth floor of this shopping mall is a cafeteria. Since it is a restaurant, there must still be a lot of food in it. As long as it is food, Kong Zhe doesn’t want to let it go. What’s more, if you want to go to the top of the building, the fifth floor is the only way. So he has to go in.

Moreover, Kong Zhe had another consideration. Since there were so many survivors here, he might be able to find someone suitable for his escort mission.

As soon as Kong Zhe knocked on the door, the voices and laughter stopped abruptly. Soon, Kong Zhe heard footsteps approaching the door, and then a woman's vigilant voice came.

"Who?"

Kong Zhe knew that the people inside must be looking out through the crack of the door at this moment, so he didn't answer, but just left the door and stood a little far away so that the people inside could see his appearance.
