7. Chapter 7 Anticipation(1/2)
This is a bank branch vault. The central area is about ten square meters in size. The six sides are covered with reinforced concrete, with high-strength and high-thickness steel plates embedded, which are much stronger than imagined.
Yi Chen rushed into it in one breath, and Zhu Youzheng closed the steel gate with force.
Boom! The monster hit the steel gate hard, and the loud noise made people tremble!
"Yes, you're finally reliable!" Yi Chen held the wall and gasped.
Zhu Youzheng's luck is really good if he can find a temporary shelter in such a short time!
"I didn't expect the vault door to be open." Zhu Youzheng tried to squeeze out a smile, but it looked a little ugly than crying.
On the way to the vault, there were several broken female corpses. They might be bank staff and wanted to hide in the vault, but failed.
Yi Chen looked pale and sat down along the wall with his wounds.
"You, are you injured?" Zhu Youzheng was panicked when he saw his blood staining his front.
"It's okay... If you try to start the armored car at the beginning, maybe we've already thrown away the zombies and won't encounter that monster."
Faced with Yi Chen's reproach, Zhu Youzheng was speechless and felt a little annoyed. If he had heard his words at that time, he might not have fallen into such a situation.
Boom - the monster hit the door again!
"Is it safe here?" Zhu Youzheng asked carefully.
"Heng. There are many zombies behind, and they can get to the vicinity within a minute or two." Yi Chen was not optimistic.
"What the hell is that thing? How can ordinary people become so big when infected!" Zhu Youzheng couldn't help but tremble again when he thought of the red and fleshy monster.
That guy is separated from them now!
"Maybe it was an evolved zombie, or a non-human creature was affected by the black rain..." Yi Chenqiang said with great enthusiasm.
He is in a bad state now, and the discomfort he felt when he was scratched by a zombie for the first time came again. What's worse is that he is now empty and has serious physical loss. It's difficult to stand up again, let alone deal with zombies.
So hungry!
Fatty Zhu Youzheng was less than two meters away from him, and his body was filled with an irresistible smell of meat, constantly stimulating the nerves that were about to collapse.
Yi Chen couldn't help licking his chapped lips. The food was placed in front of him. What's there to hesitate about? If you are hungry, you have to eat it. This is the most primitive and basic need of living things!
He stretched out one hand to hold Zhu Youzheng's shoulder. Because he was in a weak state, his strength was not strong, but the latter's nerves were tight and he was startled.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Youzheng's expression was stiff. He could see that Yi Chen was in a wrong state and was very scared.
"It's okay..." Yi Chen stopped and woke up a little.
God, he actually wanted to prey on humans just now! If he really bites it, what's the difference with a zombie?!
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and each had their own fears.
The monsters' perseverance of impact seemed to hit directly on their eardrums, which was extremely shocking. Zombie reinforcements also arrived, and roars came one after another.
It's almost to the limit... There are several places that bulge inwardly in the steel gate! It's only a matter of time before they break through this!
"I don't want to die!" Zhu Youzheng howled, wanting to cry without tears.
He thought it was easy to accept death, but once he closed his eyes, he would be done. But after getting in close contact with the zombies, he felt that he didn't have the courage to face it!
"How can you accept your fate? Even if you are broken through here, you will have to resist until you die!"
Yi Chen gritted his teeth and stood up, walked around the vault to see if he could find something that could be used as a weapon. However, he did not gain anything.
The only thing in the vault is that there is no shortage of money, piles of bright red banknotes are piled in the corners, and at least tens of millions of dollars.
If it were in the past, most people would have to cry out with joy with so much money. But now, money is useless, and it is better to have a fire axe than to come!
Kneel! A hole was poked by the monster's sharp claws!
Zhu Youzheng was shocked and his crying stopped abruptly.
Yi Chen's heart was beating and his mind was in chaos. He had no weapons, his health was not good, and he had a teammate who was not good enough. How could he deal with them?! Is there really no way?
A harsh sound of brakes suddenly came outside the bank.
The zombies stopped hitting the door in a tacit understanding, and the sound seemed more attractive than the vault that could not be captured for a long time.
Is someone here? Yi Chen is a little dazed. People will have a mental state of escaping reality in critical moments. Will this be an illusion?
"Didi!" The driver honked the horn a few more times.
The monsters and zombies no longer hesitated and turned around and ran outward. They had a new goal!
Yi Chen heard the car start again and took away a bunch of zombies. The world gradually became quiet.
"What's going on... are we safe?" Zhu Youzheng came to his senses and asked in disbelief.
Yi Chen nodded, and he sensed that most of the zombies were chasing the car.
"Damn, can we live like this?!" Zhu Youzheng was so excited that he couldn't express his feelings: "What a savior! If we came a little late, we might be dead!"
"Who could it be? How did he know we are here?" Yi Chen wondered. If it wasn't for a coincidence, then this person would risk his life to save them!
"No matter who he is, we are saved in any case!" Zhu Youzheng said happily.
"Don't be too happy too early, hurry up and leave here. If the zombies come back, we will still die." Yi Chen reminded.
"Okay." Zhu Youzheng was obedient this time and did not dare to delay.
It took a long time for the two of them to open the deformed steel door, both sweating. Yi Chen swayed to the bank hall, his movements as if no different from those of a zombie.
"I'll try that armored car!" Zhu Youzheng walked quickly towards the door. His enthusiasm was very high, completely different from before.
"etc!"
"What's wrong?"
"There is a situation at the door." Yi Chen picked up a metal bench. Although his current physical condition is not good, with Zhu Youzheng, it should be no big problem for the two of them to deal with a zombie.
Zhu Youzheng walked behind him tactfully after hearing this. He followed suit and picked up a bench, but his hands were shaking and he was very nervous.
Yi Chen resisted the discomfort and pressed his steps to approach the corner of the door. A shadow stood there.
He suddenly raised the stool and knocked it down, but the shadow actually avoided the attack.
The opponent was not very fast, but he seemed to be prepared for it and knew where he was going to fight!
Yi Chen was about to turn around, but was kicked on the butt again. The center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.
After contacting the other party, Yi Chen had already determined that it was an ordinary person, not the zombie he was worried about. However, he touched the ground and touched the wound again, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth in pain, and he could not move for a moment.
The man stepped on Yi Chen's back and the stick in his hand fell down.
"It seems that it's not a zombie..." He pushed his glasses and observed it carefully.
"Who are you?" Zhu Youzheng, who was standing beside him, asked vigilantly. It is definitely not easy to be able to easily bring Yi Chen down!
"My name is Ling Zhe, I am a college student, and I am a survivor just like you." The man pushed his glasses again, with a pair of phoenix eyes smiling.
"You hurt him, and he will pinch your ankle in the next second." A cold female voice said from one side.
"Ah?" Before Ling Zhe could react, Yi Chen suddenly took action.
It was no different from what the female voice said. He flipped his arm and grabbed Ling Zhe's ankle and pushed it. If he hadn't been merciful, Ling Zhe would have to squat on his butt.
Yi Chen sat up and looked at the two people who appeared.
A college student named Ling Zhe had a lot of corpse blood on his clothes, and it seemed that he had killed many zombies. No wonder he was in a weak state and did not smell the other person's human breath for a while.
The other one is a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She has long ice-blue hair slightly curly like seaweed, skin is better than snow, wearing a summer school uniform skirt, and her body is clean and has no smell of blood.
A girl is pretty, but the only thing that is beautiful is that her face is expressionless, like an SD doll.
Yi Chen understood as soon as he saw her: this was actually an infected person, with almost no human taste! But her eyes were both normal black eyeballs, which was a bit different from him.
"Sister Liang Bing, what's the use of telling me one second in advance? At least five seconds in advance." Ling Zhe complained. One second was not enough for him to react.
"He has no malice to you." The girl replied lightly. She was also looking at Yi Chen.
"Can you know my next move?" Yi Chen couldn't help asking.
"I can predict the direction of the target within the next ten seconds."
"Ten seconds? It's so amazing..." Yi Chen sighed. Ten seconds can definitely escape from the encirclement of several zombies. Ten seconds is enough to kill ten zombies. As long as you know the direction, you will be extremely relaxed!
"What superpowers do you have?" It was Liang Bing's turn to ask Leng Leng Leng.
"Uh, it seems that it is not as good as you. It just runs faster, jumps higher, and has greater strength..." Yi Chen thought for a while and said.
Liang Bing nodded. After asking what she was interested in, she stopped talking. Next was the interaction between Ling Zhe and Yi Chen and Zhu Youzheng.
"You are so seriously injured. Do you want to act with us? My sister is a doctor and can treat you." Ling Zhe asked with concern.
Before Yi Chen could answer, Zhu Youzheng hurriedly agreed. He glanced at Liang Bing, who was quiet on the side with his small eyes shyly.
Damn, this fat man is not a lolita? Yi Chen was speechless when he saw Zhu Youzheng's twisted appearance.
"We didn't ask you, we don't need to be burdened." Ling Zhe said with a smile.
If his voice was eliminated, just by looking at his expression, I would never have thought that it would be so hurtful.
Zhu Youzheng instantly petrified.
"It's okay to act together, but you can't leave him behind." Yi Chen expressed his opinion.
To be continued...
