When the first ray of dawn broke through the dark night, I climbed up the cliff with Xiao Leng.
The scattered monsters gradually disappeared under the light.
We lay on the edge of the cliff and stared at the bright and dazzling sun.
My hands were so numb that I lost consciousness. Xiao Leng curled up next to me and fell asleep from exhaustion.
We hung on the edge of the cliff all night, and that compound-eyed monster guarded us all night.
My arms were gradually regaining consciousness, and I looked at the dry and cracked skin on Xiao Leng's face, feeling extremely gloomy.
"I survived a desperate situation, but someone will definitely die tonight!"
I slowly climbed up and looked down the cliff.
The height of nearly fifty meters can make most people's legs tremble.
And I climbed up from below!
From this moment on, my eyes changed.
…
It was already noon until Xiao Leng woke up.
Xiao Leng and I finished sharing the last bit of water in the kettle, and her mood improved a lot.
"Don't worry, I will make them pay the price."
I touched Xiao Leng's head and smiled softly.
Xiao Leng didn't say anything, he just threw himself into my arms.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has passed its strongest period.
Xiao Leng and I followed the path, following the clues left by Wang Long and Xue Anya.
The direction they left was to the northwest, where the air raid shelter was located.
Will they go back to the dugout?
I think there is a high probability.
The attitude of the troops can be seen from the middle-aged woman yesterday. They have no control over the life and death of civilians!
Even if Wang Long is a rich second generation, it won't work.
Unable to go to the army, they had no choice but to return to the air raid shelter.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Leng and I found a convenience store on the outskirts of the city.
Food and water filled the shelves.
Several torn packages of snacks fell on the ground, and there were several empty bottles in the store.
The traces are very fresh. Someone has been here recently, but they couldn't take away all the things.
The traces were most likely left by Wang Long and the others. It seems that my guess is correct.
I filled my waterproof bag with bottled water. On the shelf, I also found a button battery, which was just right for use with a strong flashlight.
I had a pocket knife, nail clippers, ear pick, fruit knife, string and adhesive all stuffed into me.
Sitting in the convenience store, Xiao Leng and I started eating and drinking.
And my attention fell on this metal suitcase.
I put down the kettle in my hand and held the metal suitcase in front of me.
The metal was cold to the touch, but at the bottom of the suitcase, there was still charred flesh and blood attached.
This should be the skin tissue of that monster. I remember clearly that every time I hit that monster with a suitcase, there would be a burning smell.
My hands touched the bottom of the suitcase, and the uneven texture made my heart palpitate.
I don't know why, but I know that this suitcase is definitely not ordinary.
The suitcase is a snap switch and there is no password or fingerprint verification.
The suitcase can be opened by opening the metal buckle twice with your hands.
"Brother, what is this?"
Looking at the suitcase in front of me, Xiao Leng came over and asked.
I touched the top of her head and said, "It was something that fell from the helicopter yesterday."
"Can you open it?"
Xiao Leng asked, her spirits had improved a lot.
Hearing this, I put my palm on the buckle of the metal box.
'Bata…'
After two crisp sounds, the metal box slowly popped open.
I cautiously took half a step back, but nothing happened.
There were a few things lying quietly in the small box.
A leather notebook, a pistol, a box of bullets, and a test tube containing blue liquid.
The test tube was wrapped in black sponge and stuck in a groove on the edge of the suitcase.
I frowned, and my heart couldn't help but beat.
Is this something that belongs to Xia Xue's mother?
He reached out and took out his notebook. The thick notebook was full of writing.
I flipped through it casually and found that most of it contained some calculation processes. This was an experiment log.
On the first page of the diary, a name was written.
'Zhang Mingao'
This should be the recorder of this diary, possibly Xia Xue's mother.
The front part is full of experimental procedures that I can't understand, and the handwriting is very beautiful.
In the middle, a black and white illustration is posted.
My whole body muscles suddenly stiffened. On the illustration, there was a drawing of a reptile monster with compound eyes and six claws like a lizard.
This is what surrounded me last night!
I continued to read attentively, and there was a line of words written next to the illustration.
'α-0000 experimental subject, named '麖' (jing), also known as 'human lizard', is the product of an experiment where a salamander DNA fragment is inserted. It has rapid regeneration properties and the mucus is slightly toxic.
Containment conditions: strong light, deep pit, metallic bismuth
This line of text made me tremble with fear. It turns out that the monsters that plundered on the ground after the nuclear explosion disaster were the products of the laboratory? !
Human lizard?
What exactly are they studying? !
I still wanted to scroll down, but it was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and if I didn't set off, it would get dark.
I put the notes back into the suitcase. I didn't touch the test tube containing the blue liquid, but took out the pistol and the box of ammunition that were inside.
Fastening the suitcase, I removed the magazine from the pistol, which was loaded with bullets, seven rounds in total.
There are 14 bullets in this box.
Twenty-one rounds in total.
Killing is enough.
I handed the suitcase to Xiao Leng. The suitcase was very light.
I picked up a waterproof bag filled with supplies and stuffed the pistol into my back.
The information in the notebook is very important to me, but I can study it after I finish killing people!
This disaster is not simple, and the war has never stopped. I am an ordinary person, and I just want to protect my sister.
It is impossible to make a soft-hearted mistake a second time. I want them to pay the heaviest price!
Seven o'clock in the evening, two hours of walking.
Xiao Leng and I have seen the entrance to the air raid shelter from a distance.
I slowed down and stopped about ten meters away from the entrance of the air raid shelter.
There was a faint firelight in the air-raid shelter, and the roar of Wang Long could be heard faintly.
"What's the use of staying here, you old thing?! A waste of food!"
"Why are you staring?! I have the final say here now!"
The roar fell, and a muffled sound came from the air-raid shelter, and then I heard Old Man Sun's wailing.
"Old man, tell me what you did today? Apart from staying in the air-raid shelter, what did you do? You made me almost die outside! I will kill you!"
In the air-raid shelter, Wang Long vented his anger wantonly.
And I pulled out the pistol from my waist.
With a click, the bullet was loaded.
The muzzle gave off a dangerous metallic sheen.
Xiao Leng suddenly grabbed me, "Brother...you...are you going to kill them?"
Xiao Leng's face showed a kind of panic at a loss.
She has never seen anyone killed, and I have never killed anyone.
This kind of panic is normal.
I stretched out my hand to caress Xiao Leng's head and raised a dangerous arc in the corner of my mouth, "Shouldn't they be killed?"
