I'll go with you.
The man who was squatting at the gate came over with a weapon, turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the corridor window on the second floor.
Rong Xiao seemed to be fine. After going in, he squatted down, picked up the weapon dropped by the man who was asking for help, and hit the extremely fast black shadow with a merciless blow.
The thing was very fast. The flashlight almost caught its appearance several times, but before I could see it clearly, it moved to another place in a flash. If I wanted to catch up with its movements, I had to look for it again.
Their sight could barely keep up with the speed, and they only saw Rong Xiao spinning and jumping in the corridor, the weapon in his hand occasionally reflecting a dazzling cold light under the flashlight.
Long Qingyu urged the man to take the key and open the door, but the man hesitated, as if he didn't dare to act rashly due to the rules.
"You can see that the danger isn't outside, it's inside the building. If you don't open the door, we won't be able to get in and save people."
After hesitating for a moment, the man led them to the door and said, "Then I'll have to lock it for now after you go in."
"casual."
Long Qingyu and the others didn't care at all, they just wanted to go in and pick up Rong Xiao.
The man's flashlight was "borrowed" by Tian Yichuang. They quickly climbed up the stairs, but when they were halfway up, they felt something was wrong.
The corridor was very quiet, without any sound of fighting.
The magazine had been checked. Long Qingyu held the gun and took the lead at the front, quickly aiming when turning the corridor... But Rong Xiao was the only one in the corridor.
"Are you okay?" Ling Xi ran forward with a kitchen knife and grabbed Rong Xiao to check.
Her body was clean, but there was a silent man sitting on the ground next to her. He was leaning against the wall, his eyes dull, as if he had not yet recovered from the fear of almost dying.
"It's okay. That shadow was so fast that I couldn't catch it," Rong Xiao sighed in frustration. "I wanted to catch it alive and show it to Shangguan."
The two Shangguans were furious. Following her gaze, Shangguan Yu found that she was looking at him.
"Show me? Why show me?" Shangguan Yu frowned, his eyes and face full of strong disgust as if to say "Don't come over, go away".
"You're well-informed, maybe you know what that is."
"Thank you. Although your tone sounds like you're praising me, I don't want to read it."
"Hey, are you okay?" Tian Yichuang, holding a hammer in his hand, walked up to the man in a gangster-like manner and squatted beside him.
His elbows seemed to be resting on his knees unconsciously, but in fact, Tian Yichuang deliberately used this less suspicious action to keep his weapon in front of him.
The man trembled all over, as if his soul was finally called back to life. He turned his head woodenly like a doll, and his lifeless eyes were suddenly covered with fear, and his whole body trembled even more violently.
"What was that just now??? Did you see it?"
“…”
"If it's not a zombie, then what the hell is it?"
"Did you see it?" Long Qingyu also stepped forward, trying to figure out what had just happened.
The man shook his head, hugged his knees and continued to tremble: "I didn't see clearly, it was so fast and the light was not good." Suddenly he remembered something, he climbed up and knelt to grab Rong Xiao's hand, crying with emotion, "Thank you, thank you for saving me, if it weren't for you I would definitely be dead!"
"You're welcome. Since you're fine, just take this and we'll leave first." After saying that, Rong Xiao returned the weapon he picked up to him.
Everyone else was stunned on the spot, including the lucky person who was rescued.
"Boss, you're leaving?" Lucky cried, throwing himself on the ground and hugging Rong Xiao's ankles, "Please save us——"
Rong Xiao grinned, looking confused: "Huh?"
Long Qingyu, who had been silent all this time, finally understood.
He thought Rong Xiao wanted to stay and help others, and her instincts dominated her actions. Who would have thought that she really wanted to save people, but wasn't she done saving them?
After the rescue, it's time to go according to the plan...
She didn't seem to be thinking about staying to save everyone in the factory.
After a pause, Long Qingyu pointed to the other end of the corridor: "Since we're already inside, why not... take a look at what's going on?"
After he finished speaking, Tian Yichuang nodded without hesitation, and Ling Xi and Shangguan Huai also shook their heads vigorously.
Needless to say, Rong Xiao did whatever Ling Xi did, and her head shook like a spring doll.
The only one who didn't respond was Shangguan Yu. He knew that he was redundant. With a ratio of five to one, nothing he said would be of any use.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at Ling Xi and held out his hand: "Sister Xi, weapons, thank you."
Shangguan's weapon was too long and too wide, so she usually kept it in the space when not in use.
When he heard they were staying to help, Lucky excitedly shook hands with everyone and introduced himself: "My name is Xin Jiamo, thank you, thank you...?"
Before he could finish his words, Xin Jiamo saw Ling Xi's backpack glowing, and then he pulled out a modified long weapon from it.
That length is absolutely impossible to fit in a backpack normally.
"What is this!?" Xin Jiamo screamed in fear and quickly kept a distance from them.
"Superpowers," Ling Xi answered confidently, then frowned in confusion. "Even if you haven't experienced the apocalypse, you should have read apocalyptic novels, right? You don't even know this?"
Xin Jiamo was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed, "There really are superpowers? Why don't I have any?"
"It depends on luck," Shangguan Huai patted his shoulder to comfort him, "not everyone has it."
"That's right. I feel a little more balanced now."
"Stop talking, let's go and see what's going on with Zhuo Chengsheng." Long Qingyu handsomely held up a gun and led the way, while the others took out their weapons and followed.
Xin Jiamo was the second to last, and Rong Xiao was at the end. With her behind him, Xin Jiamo felt very at ease.
"This is a bit like a puzzle game," Rong Xiao suddenly said from behind him, "We need to find clues about the shadow and discover its identity!"
At this time, the one who can still make such an exclamation must be a big shot!
In order to get closer to the boss, Xin Jiamo whispered his agreement: "Yes, boss, you make sense. If you think of this as a game, I won't be so nervous. Thank you."
Rong Xiao tilted his head in confusion: "Ah, you're welcome."
The word "game" successfully triggered the progress bar. In the dark vision, a particularly conspicuous progress bar hung in the corner.
They came to the conference room where they had slept before. There was no one inside and the door was half open. However, there was no blood or mess in the room, so nothing must have happened here.
"Could it be over there in the dormitory..." Xin Jiamo swallowed nervously.
"You lead the way."
"good!"
A group of people moved slowly forward in the factory shrouded in darkness. Without any lights, they could only rely on their eyes to adapt to the darkness and barely judge the road conditions from the outline.
The dormitory was just across a corridor from the other side, separated by a door. The situation on the other side of the door seemed to be not very good. There were a lot of bloodstains on the ground, bloody footprints, handprints, scattered cloth and items, which made people feel depressed and heavy.
"Could something have happened to Zhuo Chengsheng and the others?" Tian Yichuang used a hammer to poke at the objects on the ground. He didn't see anything familiar, but he still felt something was wrong.
On the left are the dormitory doors, five in a row. Xin Jiamo said there are four floors in total.
There is a window near the corridor. Most of it has been reinforced with wooden boards or something like that after the apocalypse, and the curtains are drawn, so you can't see what's going on inside.
On the right side are waist-high handrails and windows at the edge of the building, all of which are closed.
However, the door of the last dormitory was open, and it was pitch black inside, so I couldn't see what was going on.
"I'll go check it out, be careful behind you."
"Know."
Long Qingyu walked to the open door with a gun in hand, and suddenly turned on the flashlight to shine inside. Everyone held their breath and waited for five seconds to make sure that nothing happened, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning off the flashlight, Long Qingyu retreated: "No one's there. At first glance, there's nothing to hide. There are just two bunk beds, and there's blood in the room."
"Do you know which dormitory Zhuo...no, Jiang Yao lives in?" Ling Xi asked.
Xin Jiamo nodded and pointed upwards: "Just go up one floor, the second room next to the stairs."
"Go up and take a look."
The situation on the first floor was much better. There was no blood or debris on the ground, but all the doors were closed.
"Zhuo Chengsheng..." Long Qingyu tried to call out in a low voice.
A few seconds passed without any response. When he was about to shout a second time, he heard rustling sounds from behind the door.
"Long Qingyu?"
"It's me."
The door opened a crack and Zhuo Chengsheng stuck his head out. Jiang Yao next to him was still nervously and fearfully grabbing his collar, trying to pull him in.
"Don't go out, don't go out!"
"Don't worry, they're here, everything will be fine."
Perhaps because he had witnessed the team's capabilities firsthand, Zhuo Chengsheng had absolute confidence in them and viewed them as a reliable source of security.
Long Qingyu stared at the pair of eyes that had become cloudy in the darkness and asked in a strong voice, "What happened? Do you need help?"
“…” Zhuo Chengsheng’s Adam’s apple moved, his tightly pursed lips trembled, and his eyes gradually turned red.
He clenched his teeth secretly, his reason and the voice in his heart were fighting, and he was unable to answer.
Jiang Yao poked her head out from the side. Linlin was huddled in her mother's arms, trembling. "We need help, if... if possible."
"Yaoyao..."
"We've run out of options."
"It's not suitable to travel at night anyway, so let's solve the current problem first." Long Qingyu took a step back and looked at both ends of the corridor. "Are there many injured people?"
"Three people are missing. I told the others to stay in their rooms and not come out until daybreak."
"Well, very good," Long Qingyu nodded. "The most urgent thing is to figure out what that black shadow is and where it came from."
"Then... search the factory, maybe we can find out?"
"Please lend me one of your dormitories to sleep in." Shangguan Yu next to him yawned loudly, indicating with his actions that he wanted to stay out of the matter.
Zhuo Chengsheng unscrewed a steel pipe from the house and said without hesitation: "I'll go with you."
"Chengsheng!!"
"This place has nothing to do with them in the first place. They're willing to stay and help, so why should we just hide away?"
The door next to him suddenly opened, and Lao Yang came out with a weapon in hand: "We're going too."
