Chapter 424 (1/2)
When zero first jumped down the ventilation pipe and fell to the ground, he quickly checked the warehouse. The warehouse is not big, only a hundred square meters. There are shelves and two wooden boxes. The outer wall of the wooden box has fallen off, and the shockproof layer and several cans are exposed from the inside. What should be stored inside is food. The mobile door of the warehouse was closed, and several shelves piled up on the ground to block the door, as if to prevent something from coming in from the outside.
After turning around and eliminating all possible dangers, she said to Beyonce, ”come down, I'll catch you.”
The ventilation pipe is about five meters away from the ground, not high, but not low. But Beyonce didn't let zero catch her. She laughed and jumped down. When I landed, I rolled over, lifted up, clapped my hand and said with a smile, ”I'm not a lady who is in a good position. I'm fine on weekdays. I also train my physical fitness, shooting skills and fighting skills. Don't look down on me. ”
Zero smiles and says, ”this place is full of unknowns. You'd better not try your best.”
”Well, well, I'll be wronged once and let you protect me.” With that, Beyonce chuckled herself.
The corner of her eye aimed at the bodies on the ground again, and the light came. Four or five corpses have become mummies, and their clothes are even glued to the shelves or boxes under them because of the body fluid. The mummies looked frightened. Although they scattered things, their heads were in the same direction.
Zero went over and stood at the point where their eyes met. Looking at the blocked gate again, he pondered: ”it's strange. Judging from the situation of the gate, they should be trying to prevent something from coming in. But it wasn't until the gate was blocked that they seemed to find something to be on guard had come in. It's this thing that killed them, but the gate doesn't have any sign of restart. Where does that thing leave after killing them? ”
”What will it be? Are you a changeling? ” Asked Beyonce.
Zero shook his head: ”I don't know. There are too few clues to judge. Anyway, we have to be careful. ”
They went to the door again. Beyonce took zero by the hand and said, ”look, there seems to be a plan over there.”
On the wall to the left of the gate, there is a schematic plan. The surface of the plan is covered with dust, and many places can't be seen clearly. I can't see it until I wipe it. The base has a strange name, white blood cell 03. Judging by numbers, there should be more than one such base.
The base is divided into seven regions, i.e. a, B, C, D, e, F and g. regions a to f are distributed around the base, showing irregular terrain. As for area G, it is located in the center of the base. These areas are divided by function. For example, the area where zero and two people live is area D, which is the material reserve area. Other areas include evacuation area, generator set, energy area, weapon development area, biochemical research room, etc. In the center, area G is the central control room, which is the core area of the whole base.
On the floor plan, zero also found some elevators and emergency access to and from the base. But these signs are marked with red x, I don't know whether it means that the channel has been closed. After recording the plan firmly in his mind, he pointed to one of the places on the map and said, ”let's go here and have a look.”
Where the finger fell was an emergency passage not far from the warehouse. It's an east-west passage to go out from the warehouse where zero and two people live. To the west of the passage, you will pass a guard room and two other transit warehouses. There is a sign at the end of the passage, but there is a red fork on it. I don't know what the red fork means, so zeros need to confirm in person, and this passage is the one closest to their location.
Naturally, Beyonce had no idea, so she easily removed the shelf blocking the door and opened the mobile door. Behind the gate is a secluded passage. The cold air wafts in, and the air smells of dust. I don't know how long this base has been closed.
Zero's right eye is automatically adjusted to night vision mode. With the light of Beyonce's tactical suit's shoulders, zero is like day in the dark, so he sees a world full of chaos. In the corridor facing the warehouse gate, the outer layer of the wall has fallen off, and there are some strange traces and scattered bullet holes on it. The blood spots, which had solidified into black, were splashed on the external walls on both sides of the passageway in an irregular shape. It didn't take much imagination to know that the base was facing a massacre at that time.
On the long passage, there are cables exposed from the wall, fire bottles fallen on the ground, shelves laid horizontally as a cover, and corpses!
There are a lot of bodies. Almost every four or five meters, one or three bodies appear. Judging from the costumes of the corpses, many of them were ordinary staff members, and they also played a similar role as guards. But without exception, they are now mummies. Zero inspected several of the bodies and found a very strange place, that is, there are almost no scars on the surface of the body, only a circle of dense, needle like wounds on the neck.
On the way to the west of the passage, they saw a guard room. The door of the guard room was locked and kicked on the door, which immediately knocked down the weak door with the bolt. The door was also in chaos. The table was overturned on the ground, and there were deep scratches on the surface, like the claws of wild animals. Behind the table are the bodies of two guards, their heads leaning unnaturally on their shoulders. It seems that their cervical vertebrae were violently broken. Similarly, there is still a ring of dense pinholes around the neck.Basically, it can be judged that the pinhole should be a biological mouthpiece. Is it the vampire that attacked the base? It's a pity that the people in the base have been dead for a long time. Otherwise, he can dissect one or two of the corpses to see if the blood in the corpses has been sucked.
While he was looking at the body, Beyonce brought down an automatic rifle from the weapon rack in the police room and harvested several magazines from the rack. The magazine was full of bullets, and Beyonce put them away. Then I checked the rifle. Although it was covered with dust, the gun could still be used. She swayed the weapon in her hand to zero with pride. At zero, Beyonce had the weapon in her hand, or at least had the capital to defend herself.
”Listen, as soon as there's a living thing in the view other than me, whatever it is, shoot immediately. Can it be done? ” Zero said.
Beyonce said, ”yes, sir!”
Looking at the extraordinary master who is usually vigorous and resolute, he is now acting like a obedient soldier, shaking his head and laughing. He took Beyonce to leave the guard room and went on. The closer he got to the emergency exit, he found more and more bodies on the ground.
When we get to the passageway about 100 meters near the exit, we can almost describe it as lying corpses everywhere. At least one or two hundred mummies, lying or sitting, lying or leaning on the ground, appeared on the floor and in the corner of the passageway. There are even a few mummies glued to the door of the passage, and their images are always fixed in a certain period of time before death.
