C55 (2/2)
”Zhu Yu Guo, tell me what happened.”
Captain, it's like this. At that time, when Captain and Captain Zhang fell down, Captain Yang said, those who aren't afraid of death, come with me. Everyone else jumped along with them.
”So that's how it is. Let's not look for it now. I just checked and found out that we are in deep water, so I think we've been washed into Lake Ontario. We don't know where we're going, and Lake Ontario is so big, so it's not going to work. So I ordered, ”Everyone go down to the bottom of the lake to train. We'll talk tomorrow morning.”
The next morning, Chen Jing discovered that it was indeed a vast expanse of water. Turning around, he discovered that the city shrouded in trees was indeed Ontario Lake!
After getting ashore, Chen Jing felt sad that on this trip underwater, the satellite phones and other electronic equipment that Chen Jing and the others had brought with them had all gone on strike, meaning that they had completely lost contact with the headquarters in Mianzhou.
After a short break, Chen entered a shopping mall. After changing out of their wet clothes, they continued to search for the University of Toronto. However, without the help of satellite navigation and the ability to find the way, they didn't know where the University of Toronto was.
While walking around the city, Chen Jing discovered a strange phenomenon. The whole city was emitting a fishy smell. Many trees, objects, including car tires, were crushed by the large clamps. There were also many pits of varying sizes on the road and on the floor. Fortunately, they found a simple map at a bus stop. Under the guidance of the map, Chen Jing finally arrived at the east gate of the University of Toronto after more than half an hour. In the past hour, Chen Jing and the others had not seen anyone, nor had they seen any zombies. Could this really be a dead city?
However, regardless of whether it was a dead city or not, Chen Jing did not stop at the bottom of the river. The question was, where exactly was the University of Toronto's Affiliated High School located? Chen Jing walked around the University of Toronto, but still couldn't find the affiliated high school, and also didn't find anyone who could ask for directions. What should he do?
In fact, Chen Jing and the others hadn't eaten a single grain since yesterday's barbecue, so they were so hungry that their hearts were pressed against their backs. Strangely, however, Chen Jing and the others didn't even notice a hare or other animal on their way here, not even a mouse. What was even weirder was that all the items in the stores had been pinched into a mess. That's right, there were signs of being crushed by clips of different sizes everywhere. Fortunately, the items on the fifth and sixth floors were still slightly intact.
So Chen Jing saw the Wal-Mart supermarket on the top floor, and guessed that there might still be good food. Upstairs, Chen Jing found that most of the shelves had been knocked over, and there was a pool of blood, bone, and other wreckage everywhere. It should have been the work of the zombies, but at the same time the zombies had not eaten the fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, and corpses.
However, there was still a lot of food that could be eaten perfectly in the past two years. Chen Jing and the others picked up a lot of biscuits, wine and other foods and ate them at a better place in the air. Chen Jing was too tired for today. After he ate and drank to his heart's content, he lay down on the floor to rest for a while.
After waking up, the sound of ”jiji jii” and ”kacha, kacha” reached Chen Jing and the others' ears. Chen Jing hastily went to the window to look, and the scene in front of him stunned Chen Jing. Huge lobster after crayfish came rushing out of Lake Ontario, one after another, from the east side of the building. Chen saw a lobster over a meter long use a large clamp to catch a mouse that had run out of nowhere and stuff it into its mouth. More lobster ate leaves and weeds that could be found.
When the lobster army crossed the street and encountered buildings, lobster of all sizes entered the room through the door and window, and then poured out through the opposite door or window. Chen Jing found that a large number of lobster came in and out through the door or window on the sixth floor or below, and there were very few on the sixth or seventh floor, and almost none on the eighth floor or above.
Suddenly, a lobster discovered Chen Jing and the others who were watching from the top floor. After a series of ”ji ji ji ji” sounds, a large number of lobster began to climb along the wall towards the top floor. However, although the lobster could climb walls, it was slow and it took them an hour before they reached the eighth or ninth floor. Then, as if they had reached their limit, they fell down one by one and smashed away a lot of the lobsters.
The lobsters were rough and thick, perfectly untouched when they fell to the ground, but some of the fallen lobsters had returned to climbing the wall, while the others were crawling quickly to where there was water. It seemed that lobsters wouldn't have to go ashore for long periods of time, and would have to go back into the water once they got there. This explained why most lobsters could only go below the sixth floor, with only a few possibly reaching the sixth or seventh floor while those above the eighth floor basically didn't.
”What a big lobster. Captain, how about we catch a few and roast them?” Yang Ming stood up and said to Chen Jing, ”Seeing so many big lobsters, all of the team members' appetites were piqued.”
”Fine, Yang Ming, bring the two of you down for a look!” To be honest, Chen Jing was originally a lobster-con, let alone such a big guy.
On the sixth floor, two large lobsters were dealing with the clothes in the clothing store. The two lobsters tore the clothes into pieces with a pair of large pincers, then stuffed them into their mouths and spat them out. Who knew that this lobster was so stupid? After spitting it out, he stuffed the new clothes into his mouth and vomited again.
Unexpectedly, the treasured blade that was made of tungsten steel, which could cut off the head of a Level 4 Zombie, did not even have a mark on the body of the lobster. It only made the lobster roll over, and without getting up at all, it brandished two large clamps as it charged towards Yang Ming. Fortunately, the lobster was slow, and Yang Ming easily dodged it.
However, Yang Ming and the other two members didn't notice that when the two lobsters attacked while brandishing their large pincers, ”ji ji ji” sounds, it was already too late. Hundreds of large lobsters were pouring out of the four staircases in an unending stream. In a split-second, the three of them were in a precarious situation. Of course, the three of them also attacked with all their might. However, their attacks had no effect other than knocking the lobsters back a few meters, but it was hard to say if they were caught by the lobsters. Yang Ming hurriedly tried to save a member, but who would have thought that another member would suddenly crawl over and fiercely pinch the other member's leg? Looking at the continuously rushing crayfish, the Yang Ming duo could only watch helplessly as their teammates were dragged into the group of crayfish, and were then pinched until they were forced to leave the ground.
The Yang Ming duo naturally didn't leave the danger. As they watched the approaching lobsters, the two of them seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation. Fortunately, they discovered the window behind them at the last moment. When they reached the window, they discovered that there was a large pincer attached to the edge of the window. In a few seconds, the lobster would enter the window, and the Yang Ming duo would truly have no way out. Seeing this situation, Yang Ming reacted quickly. He picked up his short knife and stabbed it into the large pincer, and in a flash, the lobster was sent flying down the wall. When the two of them looked out, they felt their scalps go numb: the floor was full of lobsters. Lobsters were coming in and out of the windows on the floor below, and some of them were trying their best to climb up to the windows.
That was close. Soon after, the two of them dashed out of the window and climbed back up to the seventh floor. After five minutes, the two finally returned to the top floor.
After understanding the situation, Chen Jing was dumbfounded. Listening to the sounds of ”kacha” and ”ji” outside the window, he understood that he was trapped here. Fortunately, these things couldn't climb up to the top floor.
In the evening, Chen Jing finally noticed that a large number of lobsters had retreated to the lake. However, there were still a few lobsters climbing ashore. It seemed like he would have to spend the night there.
The next morning, Chen Jing stuck his head out the window and saw that it was finally quiet outside. All the lobsters had returned to the lake at night. It seemed that lobsters had a habit of going ashore in the afternoon to look for food, and then returning at night to the lake. Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. Last night, he stepped on some dog shit somewhere and actually stayed safely in the lake for the whole night.
After eating something in the morning, Chen ordered his team members to retreat to the west side of the lake. Along the way, they saw traces of lobster's rampage. However, after they were more than one kilometer away from the lakeside, the traces gradually lessened and were basically gone.
