With a burst of machine gun fire, countless holes were punched in the cleaner's body, and the foul-smelling slime sprayed everywhere.
The monster is still standing by the guard box outside the blockade.
The machine gunners on the two armored vehicles kept firing wildly at the liquidator.
The monster neighed. On one side, he weakly supported the road with his forearms. Keep your shaky body from falling backwards.
Xin and Shi Jun were hiding behind the doors and windows on the second floor. The city hall square in front of them seemed to be a battlefield filled with smoke.
Xin covered his ears with his hands. Watching the battle in the distance.
The cleaner downstairs seemed to hear the continuous noise, or heard his companions neighing like a lion's roar. It left the building where Xin and Shi Jun were. Head towards the city hall.
The armored vehicle was still firing continuously.
Finally, the cleaner fell beside the guard box. Lying on the road wet with his own mucus.
The sound of machine gunfire temporarily stopped. The machine gunner on the car looked through the smoke.
A cleaner from the other end came slowly from the front.
When one of them discovered its situation. The meat ball has exploded on the car. Brown-red slime was scattered all over the armored vehicle and the machine gunner. He then let out a cry of pain. There was thick smoke coming from the body. In the blink of an eye. Half of the face is still missing.
Another armored vehicle aimed again at the liquidator.
The bullets hit the cleaner's chest one by one from the ground.
The cleaner took out a fleshy lump from his back. Then he threw it towards the armored vehicle. This one exploded in the grass on the right side of the car.
The slime splashed onto the car body. A "hissing" sound was made.
Support came from behind and surrounded the rear of the armored vehicle. There are as many as 10 people in total. They raised their guns and waited sternly. No one thought that a monster would suddenly attack. Originally, these people were only performing cleaning tasks to protect the officials of the municipal building and left. What we have to face now is an enemy we have never seen before.
Some of them had trembling hands and cold sweat flowing on their foreheads. They have their eyes locked on the sweepers ahead.
The armored car's machine gunner shouted. The soldiers covering the back fired wildly together.
There were gunshots all around.
The cleaner staggered forward. Hundreds of bullets hit his chest. But it doesn't seem to do any harm to it.
It dragged its arms past the guard box. Then he raised one hand and swept the isolation net in the direction of the armored vehicle.
When the machine gunner saw the flying steel isolation net, he lowered his head and avoided it. The soldier covering behind the car had no time to react. He was beaten into blood clots.
They became even more angry. Screaming and shooting wildly.
Suddenly, the cleaner bounced up. We have overcome the previous obstacles. It fell in front of the armored vehicle.
The soldiers stood there stunned. He looked up and saw the monster lying in front of him. Its expressionless head stared at them crookedly.
The machine gunner raised the machine gun again. Facing this monster that suddenly fell in front of me. They seemed unable to understand such a huge body. It looks like a slow-moving monster. But it can bounce up to this point lightly.
The Cleaner raised its right arm. The position of the right arm is higher than the height of the armored vehicle. The machine gunner raised his machine gun and fired wildly.
The thick scab seems to give the cleaners a pair of solid armor. The bullet can't damage it very well.
The Cleaner swung its right arm. The machine gunner was instantly swept down from his position. I saw blood splattering in all directions. The body flew 5 meters away. The head was tightly held in the hands of the cleaner.
It moved the head into the huge fleshy lump on its back, and the fleshy lump shrank and swallowed it.
The soldiers looked at what happened at this moment in horror. They retreated. Then turned around and fled.
The cleaners moved forward slowly. It stands in the center of the City Hall Square. With his back facing the city government building billowing with smoke. It stands there. A few minutes later. Head towards Zhongshan Park.
Xin and Shi Jun stayed upstairs for a while. They continued to look outside the window.
"It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse." Shi Jun.
Xin moved down from the window. There was silence for a long time. Then he looked at Shi Jun: "I won't blame you if you leave now."
"What?" Shi Jun sounded uncomfortable. He shook his head:"Who do you think I am?"
"Why do you have to accompany me? Doing something that means nothing to you." Xin asked.
"It doesn't mean anything to you. But it does to me..." Shi Jun moved his eyes to the smoke-filled municipal building outside the window.
There was an explosion outside, and the sound came from the city hall building.
"Don't worry. I will take you to find your fiancé, that's all. Now I have nowhere to go. No one is with me. As long as you are by my side, I will feel comfortable and happy..." Shi Jun.
Xin pretended not to hear and raised his head to focus on the building surrounded by black smoke.
She sighed softly.
"If you have more important things, you should leave me. I won't blame you then. I hope you can do the same." Xin.
"I understand." Shi Jun replied.
Then he stood up. It seems that he wants to avoid the problem of continuing. He walked through the corridor. I looked around at the door of each room.
Suddenly he opened a door.
This move made Xin wary.
"What are you doing? Just open other people's doors." Xin scolded. At the same time, they walked to the corridor. Watching from a distance from Shi Jun.
"Shh..." Shi Jun gestured loudly. "This family seems to be away."
"You have to be careful of corpse bacteria..." Xin warned.
"Wait for me here for five minutes and let me go in to see if there is anyone inside?" Shi Junwan removed the glass cover of his helmet. Checked all the clothes. Make sure every gap is covered. Then he made a victory gesture. Entered the door.
Xin stood quietly in the corridor. He stared at the wooden door opened by Shi Jun. He listened carefully to the sounds in the room.
However, the distant sound of burning disturbed Xin's concentration.
She slowly moved to the door. Look inside. at this time. Shi Jun stood in the living room and took off his hat. Then call her in.
Xin walked in the door. Close the door. He looked around.
The shoe cabinet on the side is open. The shoes inside were scattered on the floor. It looked like he was leaving in a hurry.
The living room is tidy. Beige sofa and glass coffee table. There is a withered lily on it. There was no TV on the wall where the TV was supposed to be. Only some traces and black wires remain. There are a few books left on the coffee table. There is also a note on it.
"Look. Is there a note?" Xin picked it up. I found that the strokes are neat and delicate. It must have been left behind by a woman.
It read:"There is news that Hemen will be closed. I took my children back to my hometown for shelter. Your phone has not been able to get through, and I am very worried. When you come back, remember to contact me and your luggage has been packed. My children and I Waiting for you...Hui. December 23rd."
After Xin finished reading, he looked at Shi Jun with a heavy heart.
"Don't think too much. It will be fine. I saw there is a piece of frozen meat in the refrigerator. We will eat here at noon. Maybe you should take a rest." Shi Jun.
Xin put down the note. Press the coffee table back again. There is a baby stroller next to it. There are some plastic bags scattered everywhere.
"Is it okay if we do this?" Xin asked.
"Do you mean to just enter other people's homes?" Shi Jun walked into the kitchen. He was very happy that the gas in the kitchen was still working.
"Yes."
"We were just passing by."
Xin looked around the living room. The doors and windows of the window were closed. She turned right to the room, which was the master bedroom. There are two black suitcases on the bed in the middle. The box has been opened. Clothes were scattered all over the bed and floor.
Xin understood why the door was not closed. The master did not come back. And this home has been visited by thieves before.
Another room is filled with pink tones. There is a cradle bed in the middle. Going left. It's a guest room.
"It's time for you to change clothes." Shi Junzhu took a set of clothes and handed them to Xin.
"Where did it come from?"
"I borrowed it from here." Shi Jun. Pointed to the room.
Xin hesitated. But in the end I took it. Went to the bathroom and took a shower.
After a meal. They brought some bottled water from the refrigerator. Then he went downstairs.
That motorcycle. Still lying in the middle of the road.
"Are you ready?" Shi Jun asked.
Xin nodded. Cover that mask more tightly.
The city government building ahead was still smoking. But everything seemed calmer.
"It will take less than two hours to arrive." Shi Jun.
"Well." Xin Tou.
They helped the motorcycle. Shi Jun checked for a while and they got on the motorcycle.
"Since the blockade area in front has been destroyed, we passed by it and went around to Xiahe Road. We are very close. Are you sitting firmly?" Shi Jun waited for Xin to sit firmly and hugged him tightly. The motorcycle started. Heading towards the burned city hall. Along the way, we bypassed several isolation iron fences. Passed the guard box.
Over there lay the corroded corpses hit by the liquidators. ． On that body that was corroded beyond recognition. Some red corpse mushrooms are growing.
"Look at my back." Shi Jun. Xin slowed down. I don't want to crush these bodies. Besides, they have all sprouted. Maybe after a day. They will grow into deadly corpse mushrooms as tall as a person.
These things suck the nutrients from the corpse.
And in the square of the city hall building. The bodies of CM team members who were attacked by liquidators were lying everywhere. The two armored vehicles were parked aside. The driver and machine gunner in the car were both dead. The car was splashed by the liquidator's bullets. Deep, charred holes, one after another.
"Don't worry, we are all medical students. We still see many dead people." Xin responded to Shi Jun. Her eyes were the same as his. Stare around cautiously.
The city hall building, which had fallen down a corner, was almost completely burned. The originally white marble walls. Covered with a thick layer of burnt black. The thick smoke has faded. But it's still uncomfortable.
Shi Jun coughed a few times. Maybe it was the smell of smoke.
They passed the City Hall Square. We drove to City Hall Avenue. The city hall avenue is still surrounded by a barbed wire fence. But it seems to have been destroyed.
You can see yellow blockade tapes everywhere around here. and signs with black characters on a yellow background.
"City government restricted area. Please take a detour."
Shifu Avenue has always been the most important road in Hemen City. On this road. On the left is Bougainvillea Lake. Zhongshan Park is over there. On the right are new and high-end office buildings in Finance. The traffic here is usually very congested. today. Although crowded. But the cars have become decorations on the road.
Those vehicles parked crookedly. It was probably all because of a sudden traffic accident. The vehicles behind were stranded on the road because of the accident in front. They formed a long line. No one can move forward.
"I don't want to pass by these cars." Shi Jun looked at the traffic that was impossible to pass through. Move the car onto the sidewalk.
On the sidewalk. Several clusters of corpse mushrooms were shaking left and right.
Shi Jun and Xin avoided it. They try not to pass by cars if they must. It is the progress of the heart.
There were miserable cries from all around.
Xin looked at the tall buildings around him. The tempered glass reflecting the dazzling sunlight shines in the eyes. Those tall buildings like giants. He stood aside calmly.
"Did you hear that?" Xin asked.
"Yeah." Shi Jun stopped warily. Turned off the motor. Let everything be quiet.
The cry came again.
"Get out of here." Xin. She saw the balcony of the bank building behind her on the right. Someone is looking around.
"Did you see where it was?" Shi Jun asked. Started the motor.
"There is one in the bank building... I'm not sure about the rest." Xin.
"It's easy to walk after passing the car in front. The ground is full of garbage. There are corpse mushrooms on the sidewalk. It's not easy to walk." Shi Jun complained. After looking around for a while. But I looked behind me at the blue sky. A burst of red smoke.
"I have seen..." Shi Jun. Xin looked back. The smoke was coming from the bank building. Take a closer look. The man on the balcony just now had no head.
"Big head... walk faster. Those things spread from high altitudes." Xin.
Just after he finished speaking, Xin noticed the red helmet on Shi Jun's back. Stick to it one by one…．
There was another scream…．
On their clothes. and helmets are covered with sporadic red.
Shi Jun moved the car out of the complicated sea of cars. Then he started the engine and drove from Shifu Avenue to Xiahe Road.
"Don't touch them. There are no gaps in our clothes. It shouldn't hurt us." Shi Jun.
Those red spores. It sticks tightly to clothes and helmets.
"Get some sunshine...it will die in a while. Don't touch it." Shi Jun told Xin. While looking at the road ahead.
"Go left and you'll reach Zhongshan Road..." Xin.
Shi Jun continued to drive forward. He noticed the cars on the road. There were several yellow CM cars parked aside. But the CM team members could not be seen. Yellow plastic isolation tapes can be seen everywhere along the way. Floating on the road.
Go ahead and turn right to reach the busiest place in Hemen City. Zhongshan Road.
When Shi Jun made a U-turn and wanted to turn left. He saw the body covered by a yellow plastic isolation railing on the left front. Because it was blocked, I didn't pay attention. When it's time to turn left. Just discovered. There were corpse mushrooms growing on the corpse.
"Not good." Shi Jun turned the car sharply. So as not to get close to the body beside the isolation railing.
This sudden turn of the car caused Xin and Shi Jun to fall to the ground. The motorcycle paddled forward. Stopped next to the body.
The corpse mushroom suddenly shook violently.
They are less than two meters away from the corpse mushroom. Shi Jun quickly got up. Pulled up Xin. They ran looking behind. The violently shaking corpse mushroom suddenly sprayed out a stream of mucus. The slime fell behind Shi Jun's footsteps.
Then there was another one. Then there was another stream of slime.
Shi Jun pulled Xin and ran 8 meters away. Only then did he stop to check his body.
"Are you... okay?" Shi Jun asked Xin.
"I don't seem to have been sprayed...how about you?" Xin asked back. They were still panting. Thinking of just escaping from death.
"Neither did I." Shi Jun: "Fortunately we acted quickly."
"Yes… If you're one step too late, you'll be dead." Xin.
"I just thought you could pass through the isolation railing...I didn't see it..." Shi Jun said apologetically.
"I don't blame you..." Xin.
They looked towards the corpse mushroom that had just sprayed mucus. Those clusters still grew on the corpse. Shaking from side to side. And look forward. They were all shocked. One kilometer long Zhongshan Road. There are densely packed red corpse mushrooms. They are in a group. ． Clusters…Under the red corpse mushroom. They were black and rotten corpses.
This used to be the busiest place in Hemen. Now it is a breeding ground for these deadly spores.
Xin was stunned.
Bo Kang's home is just ahead．
