Chapter 1763 I am freezing
The cold wind raged.
Snowflakes are like endless white butterflies, dancing in the sky above M City.
The biting cold wind that lasted for a month solidified this bustling city into a kingdom of ice and snow.
Heavy snow covers the roofs of high-rise buildings, and the bustling business district in the past is now filled with only the silent display windows buried in the wind and snow.
The main road, which was once bustling with traffic, now only has traces of plowed snow and looks unusually empty.
In the snowstorm, there were no zombies wandering around or traces of humans. M was immersed in a dead silence, as if time had stopped passing here.
The sky after the snow showed a gray color, and only the vague outlines of the buildings in the distance could be seen, like the silhouettes of giant beasts looming in the white.
There is no longer the noise of the market or the laughter on the street corner, only the howling of the wind and the falling snow.
In this world swallowed by white snow, time seems to have frozen, and all signs of life are sealed under this boundless white.
city center.
The three buildings are still standing upright. The Oriental Pearl Tower in the center has a thick layer of frost on its surface. From a distance, it looks like a string of ice gourds connected together.
In a space capsule more than 400 meters high, graffiti spray-painted room No. 2 on one of the doorways.
"I think what you said makes sense. Either way, you will die, so why not fight with them?" A middle-aged man about forty years old raised his right hand and shouted loudly.
"Everyone unite, the door will open later and we will break out together!"
"agree!"
"I can't stay here anymore and let those beasts slaughter me. We've agreed, let's go together."
The survivors in the room were furious, and even those who were sitting on the ground and unable to get up expressed a few words of support.
No one wants to die here.
Especially being treated like food and being imprisoned in this place.
In the crowd, Yu Qiang got together with several other people.
Zhuang Qian, a veteran, said:
"It seems like it's done. Now just wait for those beasts to open the door. When they open the door later, I'll grab the weapons."
Zhou Chuanxiong, a man with sunburn spots on his face, nodded and said:
"Lao Zhuang, after you grab the weapon, don't rush to the front rashly, otherwise you will be easily targeted."
"Yeah." Zhuang Qian nodded.
They were hidden among the crowd, looking toward the door from time to time.
The temperature in the room is too low. Although staying indoors can avoid the snowstorm, the indoor temperature is not much higher than outside.
Yu Qiang gave them some of the clothes that the dead people had taken off from the ground.
These clothes are not professional cold-proof clothes. Even after wearing many of them, I still feel cold.
Looking at the frozen corpse on the ground, Yu Qiang's eyes were full of anger.
He could die, but he couldn't accept dying in such a miserable place like this.
Sudden.
The chain on the door of Food Storage No. 2 jangled.
Everyone fell silent and looked at the door.
Zhuang Qian quietly touched the edge of the door and waited for the people outside to open it.
Clang——
The chain was pulled away, and the door, which was frozen hard, creaked open.
"Get out!" Yu Qiang shouted loudly after seeing the door being opened.
"Charge the duck!" Xiao Luobotou and others responded beside him.
They pushed the crowd forward, and those in front also stepped forward, rushing towards the door.
There was a huge crowd.
The moment the door of Warehouse No. 2 was opened, the crowd poured out like a mudslide.
"Grass!"
The person who had just opened the chain at the door was suddenly pushed to the ground and trampled by the crowd.
Huang Biao, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and his expression changed drastically.
The survivors he captured in the past were very honest. If they were scattered, they would just kill a few remaining people and they would be honest.
I don’t know what’s going on today, everyone is acting crazy.
Huang Biao looked at the "food" pouring out and shouted to the men next to him:
"Kill them!"
Dozens of people around them immediately came forward with fire axes and hacked at the group of people.
Phew!
This group of survivors, who had been starved for several days, could not defeat these thugs.
One after another they were cut down to the ground.
However, because there were too many survivors in the No. 2 Grain Warehouse and they rushed out very quickly, some people risked their lives to resist, seizing weapons from the thugs and fighting back.
Suddenly, the area became messy and fell into chaos.
Yu Qiang followed the flow of people and ran to the left.
The little carrot head and spotted man behind him followed closely.
Fish in troubled waters and escape.
But after they ran a few steps, two thugs blocked their way in front of them.
Yu Qiang and others were weak and without any weapons, so they were completely at a disadvantage.
'what to do? Brother Qiang! ’ The little carrot head looked at the two thugs in front of him with some fear.
"Damn it, we have to fight!"
Yu Qiang gritted his teeth and rushed towards the two thugs.
But at this moment, he saw a man running from the right and hit one of the thugs on the head with an axe.
That man is veteran Zhuang Qian.
"Why are you still standing there? Run!" Zhuang Qian shouted towards Yu Qiang and the others.
As he spoke, Zhuang Qian took the ax and struck at another thug.
Yu Qiang ran over, picked up the dead thug's ax from the ground, and ran over to help Zhuang Qian.
Phew!
Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, they succeeded in killing the thug.
The spotted man He Wenjie quickly picked up the ax on the ground. At this moment, the five of them had three cold weapons.
Huchihuchi——
Zhuang Qian's breathing was like a bellows. He had just killed two people in a row, which consumed a lot of his energy.
They had been hungry for many days, and the amount of exercise was so intense that his body couldn't bear it and his head felt dizzy.
"Follow me." Yu Qiang groped for a while from the thugs, found the walkie-talkie, and quickly shouted to the people behind him.
Everyone ran towards the west together.
As they were running, a sharp whistle sounded behind them.
"No, they are notifying others. We have to hurry up, otherwise other thugs will get here and we won't be able to leave!" Yu Qiang's expression changed after hearing the whistle.
They sped up and ran frantically toward the west.
When passing by the No. 3 Grain Warehouse, Yu Qiang's eyes flickered and he stopped.
Without hesitation, he raised the ax in his hand and struck the big lock.
Hey!
He hammered hard twice and finally knocked off the big lock.
"Hurry up and open the chains and let the people out. We have to let more people out and cause trouble for them. Only then can we take advantage of the chaos and run to the toilet on the far left!"
The old man quickly squatted down and together with the little carrot head pulled the chain out of the gear handle.
Bang!
Yu Qiang kicked the door open and shouted inside: "Run quickly."
He briefly glanced inside. There should be sixty or seventy people in Warehouse No. 3, but he didn't know how many were alive.
The survivors with dull eyes inside suddenly saw the door being opened and were stunned for a few seconds without regaining consciousness.
When they saw Yu Qiang and the others leaving and there was no one else at the gate, they suddenly became excited.
run!
They were like machines that suddenly started running towards the door.
Yu Qiang passed Warehouse No. 4 and Warehouse 5 on the road and opened these two warehouses in turn.
Among them, Warehouse No. 5 was the most crowded, with more than a hundred people, and it seemed that they had not been detained for a long time.
There were hundreds of survivors wandering around the entire second floor of the space capsule.
confusion.
Boom, boom, boom!
They saw a group of thugs running towards them with axes and spears, and several of them had guns.
They were killing the survivors who were running around!
and drove back to the warehouse.
Yu Qiang and others worked non-stop and finally found the toilet at a corner.
They ran into the toilet and Zhuang Qian closed the door.
"Where is the vent?" He Wenjie, the spotted man, asked anxiously.
When he just ran over, he had already seen several thugs who had seen them and were probably chasing them now.
Yu Qiang ran to the middle of the toilet, pointed to the ventilation fan above and said:
"This is it. Come help me and I'll climb up."
He Wenjie and the old man immediately stepped forward, one to the left and the other to the right, holding Yu Qiang in their arms and pushing up.
Yu Qiang forced open the ventilation fan above his head and climbed up with difficulty.
When he climbed up, a hand reached down.
"Little Carrot Head, come up."
He Wenjie and the old man lifted the little carrot head up again.
Please...you...collect 6...books...!
He Wenjie looked at Zhuang Qian at the door and shouted:
"Lao Zhuang, let's go!"
The old man was weak in physical strength, so He Wenjie and Zhuang Qian carried the old man up.
Then Zhuang Qian carried He Wenjie up.
Finally, Zhuang Qian jumped up, grabbed Yu Qiang's hands, and climbed up with difficulty.
When Zhuang Qian came up, Yu Qiang was almost dragged down because he was too tired.
They haven't eaten for a long time, and now they can no longer bear such a strong physical exertion.
Each of them is gritting their teeth and holding on.
It was as if he was squeezing out his life force, squeezing out every ounce of strength.
Because they know that if they don't fight hard at this time, there will only be death waiting for them.
If a person has not eaten, his stomach is dry and his head is dizzy. Only those who have truly experienced this uncomfortable feeling will understand.
In this state of hunger, their desperate escape is consuming their muscles.
Their fat has long been used up.
Yu Qiang pushed the ventilation fan back. There was quite a lot of space in the ventilation duct.
After all, it is also one of the landmark buildings before the end of the world, and the construction concept here is relatively reasonable.
"Where to go?" He Wenjie looked in both directions.
Yu Qiang pointed forward and said:
"Climb forward, then crawl to the corner, crawl to the east side, climb all the way to the end, then go north, and you can climb to the elevator entrance."
"You lead the way." The old man turned sideways and got out of the way.
Yu Qiang nodded, put his hands on the iron plate, and crawled left and right.
Following behind were the old man, Little Carrot Head, He Wenjie, and finally Zhuang Qian.
A group of people crawled on the ventilation duct. As they crawled, they could even vaguely see the people below through the two-layer partition.
The ground below was in a mess, and blood was flowing everywhere.
Although the survivors of Warehouse 234 were released, the situation became one-sided under the bloody suppression of the thugs.
Many people knelt on the ground and surrendered, fearing death.
Although they know that they will die if they are locked up in the warehouse, if they resist now, they will die now.
Some people would rather survive for a few days than fight for it.
Yu Qiang gritted his teeth, with the veins on his face exposed, and crawled over as quickly as possible.
While the group of people below are fighting now, the sound of their crawling will be covered up.
If the thugs below were completely suppressed, the sound of their bodies sliding against the iron sheet of the ventilation duct would be very loud, and they would be easily discovered.
After climbing to the intersection, Yu Qiang turned right.
Keep crawling.
The old man's heart was pounding behind him and he felt like he would faint at any time. He bit his tongue and suddenly became more awake.
Finally, after crawling for ten minutes, they arrived at the elevator vent connection.
Yu Qiang turned his body so that his feet were facing the ventilation duct baffle.
Accumulate strength.
He kicked the baffle down with force.
Bang!
The baffle was kicked down.
Yu Qiang climbed into the elevator shaft.
Huhuhuhu——
The elevator shaft is very windy, blowing from below to above.
It was so dark that I could only see the escalator next to me from the corner of my eye.
The entire elevator shaft is very deep. This is a high-rise building of several hundred meters, and they happen to be on the second floor of a space capsule that is more than 400 meters high.
To get down, you have to climb hundreds of meters down.
During the crawling process, if you are not careful and fall down, you will definitely die.
The most important thing is that they don't know which floor below there will be zombies. If the bottom floor is occupied by zombies, they will have to take risks to escape from the zombies.
Yu Qiang was imprisoned a month ago and has a certain understanding of the thugs.
and.
He previously worked at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower as a host.
Very knowledgeable about this place.
He carefully climbed out of the ventilation duct and said to the people behind him:
"Come out quickly. Let's go down to the medium sphere, which is more than a hundred meters high. Let's go there to see if we can find supplies."
"OK."
"Slow down, be careful."
He climbed down the ladder step by step, counting the steps as he climbed.
The old man, Little Luobotou, Zhuang Qian, and He Wenjie on top followed behind.
When He Wenjie's ax was crawling through the ventilation duct, it felt too heavy and stayed on the duct.
Zhuang Qian kept holding it. He didn't feel safe because he didn't have a weapon in his hand.
The wind in the elevator shaft is strong and blows from bottom to top.
The hems of their trousers were blown open, and the cold wind blew into their trousers, making their chickens ache from the cold.
And it blows from the bottom up, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.
As soon as I inhaled, there was a strong cold wind. Inhaling it made my throat and lungs hurt from the freezing cold.
crawl
They kept climbing down the dark elevator shaft.
After a few minutes.
Little Carrot Head shouted with some fear: "Are you all still there?"
In this environment where he couldn't see up or down, there was only the sound of crawling, which filled him with fear.
Although the crawling sound was not his alone, he was afraid it was an illusion.
"Don't be afraid, little carrot." Yu Qiang at the bottom said softly.
"Is everyone else okay?" Yu Qiang asked.
The old man's voice trembled and he said hoarsely:
"Hurry up and crawl, I can't hold on anymore~~~It's over~"
He Wenjie also trembled: "I feel like my chicken is frozen into ice. If I had known, I would have tightened my trouser legs."
"Hahaha." Zhuang Qian at the top couldn't help laughing after hearing He Wenjie's words.
"Lao He, you are also a fun-loving person. I never found you so humorous before."
He Wenjie's words made everyone laugh.
But their hands kept moving and they continued to crawl down.
From time to time they would exchange a few words with each other to dispel each other's fear in the dark environment.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Ten minutes later.
Yu Qiang counted the number of stairs. When he reached 1,000, he stopped.
"It's almost there. This should be the location of the middle sphere. Let's climb to the ventilation duct and take a look."
