Just as Xu Qi pushed open the door and was about to leave, a loud sound suddenly came from downstairs, accompanied by a deafening roar.
It was as if some monster had appeared outside!
The moment this voice sounded, the entire hypermarket trembled slightly. Everyone on the second floor was shocked by this loud voice!
The women who were already lying on the floor got up. Their faces were pale as if they expected something!
From the beginning, they knew that the building was already surrounded by zombies. Sooner or later, those zombies would rush in. However, they did not expect the disaster to come so early!
"Oh no, looks like something happened downstairs!"
Xu Qi's expression changed slightly. It was hard to imagine what had appeared that could shatter the floodgates downstairs!
Tang Wanqiu's face turned pale from fright. She quickly went to the window and looked down.
What she saw made her heart jump to her throat!
She did not know when it started, but there were already a large number of zombies downstairs. However, it was pitch-black downstairs and she could not see the actual situation clearly!
However, she noticed that those zombies suddenly became irritable as if they were on steroids.
Xu Qi quickly came to the window. His body had already been strengthened twice, and his hearing and vision had been greatly enhanced. He could clearly see that dozens of zombies had gathered downstairs, and still more were gathering.
"Those zombies were clearly unable to open the gate. What exactly happened?!"
Xu Qi frowned. At this moment, the steel gate on the west side of the hypermarket had been smashed, and many zombies would definitely rush into the hall on the first floor of the hypermarket. He had to block the fire escape leading to the second floor before the zombies reached the second floor. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At the thought of this, Xu Qi immediately picked up the nail gun and instructed Tang Wanqiu, "Stay here first. Lock the door and don't make any noise! I'll go down and deal with it!"
The defense on the first floor was completely shattered, and nearly a hundred zombies rushed into the hypermarket. He was not confident that he could handle such a crisis.
However, he did not want Tang Wanqiu to take the risk. It was safer for her to stay.
"It's an emergency. I'll go with you!"
Tang Wanqiu naturally understood how dangerous it was downstairs, but she couldn't watch Xu Qi go down alone.
If she couldn't even go through thick and thin together, then she, Tang Wanqiu, wasn't worth Xu Qi risking his life to save!
Seeing that Tang Wanqiu insisted on going, Xu Qi could only agree. They didn't have time to waste now. They had to control the passage to the second floor as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the zombies reached the second floor, everyone would die.
The two of them immediately left the surveillance room. Xu Qi walked to the hall and cut off the nylon ropes on Brother Xiong and the others.
"The situation is urgent now. Everyone, take your weapons and follow me to the stairs to stop the zombies. If you don't want to die, hurry up!"
Xu Qi shouted, then pulled out his saber and quickly walked towards the escalator. There was not only a fire escape from the hall to the second floor, but also an escalator.
Only after completely destroying the escalator could he continue with the previous plan!
The electric escalator at the hypermarket had long since become a decoration. The diesel generator could not carry these things at all, so the thing had stopped long before he arrived.
The up and down escalators of the hypermarket were combined. They were about two and a half meters wide and six meters long.
If he wanted to destroy them, he had to completely cut off the connection between the escalator and the second floor!
But in reality, the only things that could achieve such destructive power in a short period of time were probably drills and explosives.
Even with the Water Dragon Roar, Xu Qi was not completely confident that he could achieve such destructive power.
However, time waited for no one. Through the glass railing, he could already see many zombies crawling in through the damaged gate. It wouldn't be long before they could climb up to the second floor through the escalator!
From a few meters away, he could even smell the rotting smell of the zombies and the pungent smell of blood.
Some zombies even had their faces gnawed until only their white bones were left, but they could still walk.
"Phew… It's up to you to succeed, Water Dragon Roar!"
At this moment, Xu Qi was also a little nervous. He held the Tang saber tightly and slashed at the ground!
With a cracking sound, Xu Qi was surprised to find that the Tang saber had easily pierced through the floor. Moreover, it had cut through two steel bars embedded in the cement, causing a fissure two fingers wide and dozens of centimeters deep on the ground!
Seeing that the Tang saber had actually produced an extraordinary effect, Xu Qi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
But downstairs, many zombies had already heard the sound Xu Qi made and rushed towards the escalator.
"Arghhhh!"
The zombies gathered like sharks that had smelled blood. At a glance, there were already more than 30 of them.
Moreover, zombies continued to squeeze in through the broken gate. The entire first floor had completely become a playground for zombies.
"Break for me!"
Xu Qi growled. The Tang saber left seven or eight slashes on the floor like a phantom. At this moment, the connecting point between the escalator and the floor was already riddled with holes, and only some steel bars were still connected.
The escalator was on the verge of collapse, but at this moment, many zombies were already climbing up on all fours. They were only a few meters away from Xu Qi.
Xu Qi took a deep breath and looked at the ferocious zombies with a cold smile.
"If you want to eat me! In your next life!"
He flipped his palm and held the Tang saber in his hand. Then he stabbed at the only connection.
There was the sound of metal cutting, and the already shaky escalator collapsed. The zombies immediately missed and fell down to the ground floor. Some unlucky ones were even crushed by the escalator that weighed a few tons.
Rumble!
The escalator hit the floor of the first level, and the sound echoed through the building.
Seeing that the crisis here had finally been resolved, Xu Qi didn't dare to stay any longer and rushed towards the fire escape.
[Ding… Points have reached 60 points. God-level selection has been activated.]
Option 1: Defend the second floor. Reward: Gold Nameplate 'Ruler of the Hypermarket' (Effect of wearing it: 2-point increase in strength).
Option 2: Completely eliminate the zombies on the first floor. RewardL: A standard law enforcement tranquilizer gun (with 10 powerful tranquilizer bullets as a bonus) and obtain an all-purpose gun proficiency skill.
Option 3: Escape from the hypermarket alone. Reward: Specialized firearm bag.
Xu Qi didn't stop at all, but his mind was working quickly.
However, looking at the reward given by the system, the first option could clearly be eliminated. Just the increase of two points of strength did not have much effect. It was completely incomparable to the anesthetic gun and firearm bag.
