Chapter 5: Digging three feet into the ground

"The special police brigade is ahead." Lin Zaishan said with anticipation and anxiety. He glanced from a distance and said to himself: "It is a military building, and there are mountain peaks to block the shock wave. The high-rise buildings collapse, but the low-rise buildings are preserved intact, and even the walls exist in large sections. There are traces of flames and high-temperature burning on the outside and on the ground, but no bodies were found. If the special police brigade has a basement, the probability of personnel survival is still very high."

The two entered the garrison and searched everywhere, but they did not see a single figure outdoors.

"Let's search indoors, follow me closely." Lin Zaishan ordered.

They bypassed the collapsed main office building and headed to Building 5, which was hosted by refugees at the time, a three-story building. The overall building was still intact.

"Is anyone?" Lin Zaishan shouted.

No one responded.

The main door of the building is open, and the two automatic doors have been twisted and deformed. Lin Zaishan made a gesture to Li Yan. The two of them already had a very tacit understanding and immediately took out their own masks and put them on. Lin Zaishan held a flashlight in one hand and a metal staff in the other.

Entering the door is the living room and activity room. The hall is in a mess, with no figures or corpses. From the living room to the left is a corridor that runs across the corridor, with guest rooms and offices on both sides. Lin Zaishan then walked to the first room on the left corridor. The door of the room was open, and there was a charred bed inside, leaving no one.

"It seems that it is difficult to survive if you hide in such a room that is directly open to the outdoors after the explosion. Fortunately, there is no one in this room." He then checked the second room, but it was still empty. Li Yan followed closely behind him, holding her hands high and ready to attack the fire at any time.

In this way, the two of them searched the entire building but still found no body or a living person.

"Let's go to other buildings." They then entered a building with only two floors, which was the soldiers' barracks. The barracks still maintained a good internal structure, but were burned everywhere and burned black.

"There are still no bodies or living people."

19:30. It was completely dark. Lin Zaishan and Li Yan searched the entire resident but still found nothing.

"There is no corpses or zombies to see, which means they should all be alive." Li Yan comforted.

"Just, just fear..." Lin Zaishan couldn't say a terrible thought in his heart, that was, he was worried that the people in the resident would be burned to ashes, and the fire would be wiped out by the strong wind.

"It's dark, let's search tomorrow." Li Yan suggested.

"Okay. The rooms on the first floor of Building 7 are relatively well preserved, so let's spend the night there."

The two walked to the first floor of Building 7.

"Sir, you can choose so many rooms."

"I'll choose the first room in the corridor."

"I'll choose the one opposite you. Yes, these are the packs of biscuits and drinks I just found in the convenience store. Please use it slowly."

Lin Zaishan walked into the room and tidied up the bed simply under the light of the flashlight. In fact, he threw all the deformed and deteriorated beds out of the outdoors, leaving only a metal bed. He sat beside the bed, chewing two bites of biscuits and taking a sip of beer.

"I don't know what happened to those who are familiar with me? In the face of such unprecedented and destructive disasters, the chances of surviving are very small. Forget it, I don't want to." He shook the beer in his hand and said, "You'll get drunk today." Because his relatives are no longer alive, Lin Zaishan has much less concern for life than others.

After running around all day, he fought life and death several times during this period, and his physical strength was exhausted. Lin Zaishan was indeed a little tired. He lay on his back on the hard bed, breathed comfortably and closed his eyes.

All kinds of messy images flashed like a lantern in front of me. Suddenly, Lin Zaishan felt an abnormality. This abnormality was like when he was a child, he thought he had encountered a ghost when he was walking in the mountains at night, but this time it was very real.

I saw two blurred shadows, one black and one white, floating into the room through the wall. They had only outlines in their bodies, and could not see any part of them - except for two pairs of hot eyes. These two pairs of eyes seemed to be able to swallow people's souls, making Lin Zaishan creepy. The two pairs of terrible eyes looked at each other and began to communicate something. They did not make any sound, but Lin Zaishan felt that they were talking. The language they spoke was not any language that Lin Zaishan knew, but Lin Zaishan clearly understood every word they said.

"The harvest these days is really rich. This place is so suitable for a ranch."

"It's a pity that they are all low-end goods, and only a few of them have reached Level 4+ in the billions."

"It seems that this one in front of us is also level 4+, not marked, and is still growing. You said we will harvest now, or fatten up before taking action."

"Let me check it carefully before making a decision."

Lin Zaishan suddenly felt a suffocation and dizziness, just like his body...no...the soul was dismembered. He screamed in pain, but he could not make any sound.

That terrifying blurred figure curled Lin Zaishan's soul like an experimenter in a medical laboratory examining a big white rat.

"Not bad! It's good in quality and has huge room for growth. It's more cost-effective to wait for a while to harvest."

"I'm afraid that it will be marked during this period of waiting."

"No, if you want to mark it, you took action two days ago and you will never wait until now."

"Do you want to collect the underground batch now?"

"Crops of Level 4 and below must be disposed of according to the constitution, and wait for two days before coming."

Two terrifying blurred figures disappeared instantly. Lin Zaishan felt as if he had been thrown back to the bed, so he sat up and gasped.

"So it's Nan Ke Yimeng!" Looking at Lin Zaishan, who was completely different around him, thinking: "This dream is really weird. Is it really a science fiction, horror novels that I have read too many times, and I have thought about it every day and night? It's not right. I have never been exposed to such topics, such as black and white shadows, level four plus, harvesting, markings, etc. I have never been exposed to such topics. Forget it, don't think too much, now it's the end of the world, and any strange things will happen."

At this time, the door was knocked and Li Yan's voice came from outside the door:

"Have you slept?"

"Not yet. What's the matter?"

"I'm in." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan pushed the door and came in.

"Why are you still not sleeping in the middle of the night? We need to maintain our strength. I don't know what will happen tomorrow?"

"I'm scared alone. Can I sleep in your house?"

"In the middle of the night, the beauty is coming to knock on the door." Lin Zaishan couldn't help but say a few rumors.

"What are you talking nonsense?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Then I'm sleeping in your house?"

"My beauty, it's obvious that there is only one bed in this room."

"I don't mind."

"That's good, we can sleep in the same bed." Lin Zaishan was thinking about something.

"I'm sleeping in the bed, you're going to the floor!"

"Where is there a floor shop here?"

"I don't care."

"My beauty, you always ask me to act according to the script of a gentleman. Can you also act according to the script of a beautiful lady?"

"It's the end of the world now, I can do whatever I want. If I don't agree, you can complain to me."

"My beauty, the Consumer Association is gone, where can I complain?"

The next day after entering the station, 08:00.

Lin Zaishan opened his sleepy eyes on the corner floor and saw Li Yan in professional attire, and was already standing in front of her, her palms shining with flames.

"Laggy pig, it's time to get up and search for survivors. Find them earlier, the greater their hope of survival."

"You're right!" Lin Zaishan jumped up: "Let's start."

"Since there isn't on the ground, I guess they must be underground. Some air raid shelters, bunkers and other fortifications must be built in places like the Special Police Brigade. Are you right?"

"Ha, you slept with me all night, and you seemed to have become much smarter."

"Bang!" A thunderous chest fell on my head.

"You still seem to be so stupid!" Li Yan said: "The question is where is the entrance to the air raid shelter or bunker?"

Lin Zaishan smiled and said, "You can't stick out your nose and sniff it everywhere?"

"You reminded me that my superpower can feel the abnormal temperature at a certain depth underground. Come with me!"

Lin Zaishan, who usually walks in front of him, follows Li Yan like a good puppy this time. Li Yan's way of leading the way is completely different from Lin Zaishan. In Lin Zaishan's view, the former is simply a headless fly with no sense of direction or purpose.

The two walked to the warehouse. Li Yan said:

"There seems to be something abnormal underground in the warehouse."

"We focused on housing yesterday. The warehouse just took a quick look and maybe some important clues would be missed."

"When I came here yesterday, I didn't notice any abnormalities in the heat source, but I felt it today. It must be because my superpowers have improved again."

Li Yan took Lin Zaishan into the warehouse and stopped directly in front of a closed small door. This was a false door, which Lin Zaishan easily pushed open. After entering the door, 5 meters left is the staircase leading to the underground. The staircase is very hidden, and it is difficult to find it at a glance without paying attention.

"It must be here!" Lin Zaishan said excitedly, and then walked down the stairs first. The stairs turned several times and arrived at a flat room. Lin Zaishan thought it was at the end of the room, but he found a larger staircase at the end of the room, leading directly to the ground. At this time, there was no light at all. Lin Zaishan turned on the flashlight, suppressed his excitement, and walked down the stairs toward the ground. Li Yan followed behind her with all her concentration.

After walking about 30 meters, the slanting ladder finally reached the bottom. A straight corridor appeared in front of me, and there were actually lights in the corridor.

"They must hide here!" Li Yan came over and said softly.

"The environment here seems to be very safe. I hope they don't have any trouble."

"Have you noticed that the air here seems to be normal."

"Since they have electricity, they should be able to achieve automatic ventilation."

The two entered the corridor.

"Is anyone?" Lin Zaishan shouted.

Echoes came from the corridor, but no one responded.

A room appeared on the left side of the corridor, with the door open. An incandescent lamp flashed weakly in the room, and an office desk, a stool, and a computer fell on the floor next to the table. On the floor was a man in a special police uniform.

Li Yan was about to go into the house to check. Lin Zaishan stopped her, pointed to a wire on the ground and said, "There is electricity leaking in the house." He looked around, found the power control board on the wall, turned off all the power in the room. Turn on the flashlight, slowly walked to the special police, and flipped him upside down.

"He was electrocuted. It seems that he has been dead for a long time."

"I didn't find any abnormal temperature on him. He is not a zombie."
