189 ? The tenth store

189 The Tenth Store

◎Not a big problem.◎

Golden Building, 6th floor of the shopping mall.

After Chen Limin fell off the building, the tense atmosphere did not ease.

A dozen people were trapped at the door of the store selling camping equipment outside, including Xu Hongmei and Li Heping, the errand runners of the Luyao team.

Half a month after the outbreak of the zombie virus, the gas in Jintaiyuyuan Community was cut off, and less than two weeks later, the electricity was also cut off.

Li Heping is an outdoor camping enthusiast. His family has a lot of camping supplies, including a gas stove, spare gas cylinders, a grill and smokeless coal for barbecue, and solar panels...

The three of them only cooked one meal a day and lived frugally. The food and daily necessities in the house lasted for a month.

When the stockpiled goods were almost used up, Li Heping suggested to his mother that they go to a farther place to collect supplies.

They had tried to go out to find supplies before. The places they could think of were also the places that others could think of.

The nearby small shops, supermarkets, and drug stores had long been emptied, and even intact plastic bags were hard to find.

At that time, Li Heping's first choice was the outdoor camping equipment store on the sixth floor of the Golden Building.

He was a regular customer of this store and often visited it before the zombie virus broke out.

The owner of this shop has been running it for many years, and the shop is fully equipped.

Outdoor camping is a hobby for young people, and Li Heping thinks that not many people would think of this shop.

The only problem is that this shop is located in a commercial district, and the floor where the shop is located is very high, so the risk of encountering zombies on the way is very high.

Li Heping and Xu Hongmei discussed for several days before making up their minds, and went out with two travel backpacks, a bundle of hemp rope and two fruit knives.

It only takes ten minutes to walk, but the two of them hid and took half a day to walk from Jintaiyuyuan to Wanxin Plaza.

It took another half a day to climb from the first floor of the Golden Building to the sixth floor. Fortunately, the camping equipment store is upstairs in the Golden Mall, and there are fewer zombies downstairs than in ordinary shopping malls.

Li Heping and Xu Xiumei wore thick masks when they went out, mainly to hide. They didn't want to chop zombies unless it was absolutely necessary, and they were afraid that they would attract a zombie tide and have nowhere to escape.

They didn't notice anything unusual when they went up to the sixth floor. The goods were neatly placed on the shelves of a large shopping mall, and there was no zombie wandering around.

After a whole day of trekking, when they arrived at the camping equipment store smoothly, the two forgot their fatigue and anxiety, and were ecstatic. They quickly took off their backpacks and stuffed supplies into the bags.

In addition to various camping equipment, the store also had compressed biscuits imitating military rations.

Li Heping picked them up and put them into his backpack, and emptied a row of shelves.

This food doesn't taste good, but it can satisfy your hunger and it won't spoil easily.

Things will get worse and worse later, and this is life-saving food.

The mother and son were quick and nimble, filling two backpacks in less than half an hour.

It was still early, so they packed their things and prepared to leave, so that they could get back before dark if they walked quickly.

The two of them walked back and forth in the mall with their big travel backpacks, but they couldn't find the escalator to go downstairs.

Only then did they realize the strangeness of this floor. The glass fence at the escalator entrance was intact, but when they looked down, they saw a whole floor, and when they reached out and touched it, it was hard and flat.

The escalator they took when they came up seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was no lighting.

The surroundings began to sound terrifying roars, creaking bones, and clattering footsteps.

Li Heping and Xu Hongmei huddled under the cashier counter of a camping equipment store, using cardboard boxes and unopened tents as shelter, and hid there for the entire night.

At dawn, the sounds gradually disappeared.

The mall was still empty during the day, and Li Heping and Xu Xiumei still couldn't find the escalator to go downstairs.

One day and one night passed, and this morning they met the Anxia team from Jinyao City.

The Anxia team had a total of 16 people, and they drove three minivans across the city to Wanxin City to deliver daily necessities for the sixth floor of the Golden Building.

The man who fell from the building was a member of the Anxia team.

Originally, they thought that this mission was the same as usual, just a routine process of cleaning up zombies and moving supplies, but they did not expect to encounter an abnormal incident.

They got the supplies and prepared to take the two passers-by trapped here out, but when they wanted to go out, they could not find the escalator that they took to go up.

What's worse is that when everyone was looking for an exit separately, someone was bitten by a zombie that appeared from nowhere.

The person who was bitten was Chen Limin.

The Anxia team is very famous in Jinyao City, and the survival rate is quite high. Generally, one team member may be bitten for every ten missions.

When everyone saw Chen Limin bitten, they immediately realized that the situation was serious.

The sixth floor of the Golden Building seemed like a strange space that could be entered but not exited. After Chen Limin was bitten, it was as if some kind of hidden switch was turned on, and the zombies hiding in the dark began to wander out.

The people scattered in the mall hurried back and gathered in front of the camping equipment store to discuss how to overcome the crisis.

The zombies did not chase them, but instead chased Chen Limin who was bitten.

Everyone watched Chen Limin being forced to the edge of the glass fence, and the blurred edge

of the escalator suddenly appeared. Chen Limin was forced into a dead end, his body tilted backwards, and fell from the fence next to the escalator.

Seeing that the edge of the escalator became blurred again, everyone could only secretly worry, and no one dared to rush over.

Xu Hongmei and Li Heping stood at the back of the crowd, their thin faces full of fatigue and despair.

The arrival of the search team gave them a brief hope, but when the hope was shattered, a deeper despair came like a wave, almost crushing them.

They just wanted to survive.

Why is it so difficult?

Xu Hongmei sighed and whispered, "It seems that we can't go back. Your father must be very anxious."

Li Heping blamed himself, "It's my fault. I had to drag you here."

Someone in Anxia's team squatted down with his head in his arms. He was so desperate that he wanted to cry and make a scene, but he was afraid of attracting the attention of the zombies, so he could only grab his hair and bury his face in his knees.

An Xia, the team leader, frowned, constantly thinking about past experiences, trying to find a way to break the maze in front of her. A resolute and indifferent face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Xie Yu looked at An Xia's solemn face and couldn't help but whispered: "Are you thinking about the instructor?"

An Xia's shoulders stiffened slightly, and she raised her eyes and glared at him: "What time is it, and you are still talking about these nonsense."

Xie Yu looked innocent: "I was just thinking about what the instructor would do if he encountered such a situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you are incompetent."

An Xia: "... Get out, don't talk if you can't speak."

Xie Yu shut up angrily.

A team member suddenly said: "Someone is coming in!"

An Xia and Xie Yu looked up at the sound, and the space in the direction where Chen Limin had just fallen suddenly twisted, and two girls walked in.

They were all very young. The slightly taller girl had black hair and black eyes. She wore a beautiful golden earring on her left ear and a black thing on her head.

When people approached, they found that it was a fluffy little sparrow.

The shorter girl had eye-catching red curly hair. She had an intoxicating emerald pearl hairpin on her dark red hair. Her pupils were as bright as rubies, and her appearance was indescribably delicate.

Xie Yu stared at her: "So beautiful, like a doll."

An Xia's attention was on Lu Yao: "Why is there a sparrow?"

The other people in the team were also full of doubts. The timing, location and way these two people appeared were very strange.

Lu Yao and Tina walked a few steps and stopped. They looked back at the direction they had just entered. The escalator disappeared.

Tina: "There is indeed something here."

When we went upstairs just now, Tina and Yuanmeng System both reminded us that the space upstairs was a bit strange.

The three of them discussed letting Zhaoye stay downstairs, while Lu Yao and Tina took a sparrow boy upstairs.

Lu Yao raised his hand and rubbed it between his fingers, feeling a strange sticky feeling.

Tina said: "I'm going to find the exit." Lu

Yao walked towards the crowd: "Then I'll pick up the guests."

"Are Xu Hongmei and Li Heping here?"

The people gathered in front of the store looked wary, and no one answered. Lu

Yao couldn't help but repeat: "Are Xu Hongmei and Li Heping here? We are errand boys, and we are here to take you out."

Xie Yu couldn't help but ask: "Can you get out?"

An Xia pointed behind Lu Yao: "There is no way out from where you just came in."

Lu Yao looked at the two people: "Who are you?"

Xie Yu said with a wooden face: "Li Heping."

An Xia lowered her head to hide the unnaturalness in her eyes: "Xu Hongmei."

Li Heping and Xu Hongmei, who were hiding behind the crowd, heard this and their eyes widened, at a loss. Lu Yao

looked at Xie Yu and smiled: "Your mother looks really young."

Xie Yu blushed slightly, looking embarrassed.

An Xia shook her head irritably: "My name is An Xia, and I'm the leader of the 10th search team of the Hope Base in Jinyao City. Who are you?"

Lu Yao did not answer but asked: "What is the Hope Base?"

Lu Yao certainly knew what the base meant, but he was a little surprised that a city had built a base so quickly and had such a large search team.

An Xia: "I'll ask you first, you go first."

Lu Yao took out a stack of flyers from his cloth bag in a very good-tempered manner, handed them to An Xia and Xie Yu, and distributed them one by one, even Li Heping and Xu Hongmei who were hiding in the back got some.

An Xia only read half of it when she looked up and said incredulously, "You guys are running an errand shop here, and you only charge gold as a reward?"

The other members of An Xia's team also found it hard to understand. In such a world, running errands is more dangerous than a search team like theirs, and they don't ask for supplies, just useless gold.

What's the purpose?

Lu Yao did not explain, but said loudly: "Xu Hongmei, Li Heping, your family has ordered errands in the store and asked us to pick you up."

Xu Hongmei pulled Li Heping out from the side and said tremblingly: "I am Xu Hongmei, this is my son Li Heping."

Li Heping was a little awkward, and fell a few steps behind Xu Hongmei. After approaching, he stared at Lu Yao for a while and whispered: "Did my father ask you to come?" Lu Yao nodded

: "We went to Jintaiyuyuan to sweep the house. After Mr. Li learned about it, he ordered an errand and asked us to pick you up here."

Xu Hongmei burst into tears when she heard it. Since Lao Li's leg was broken, he didn't like to talk much, and his temper changed a lot. He always felt that he was a burden to her and the children.

She never thought that Lao Li would ask someone to pick them up.

After listening to Lu Yao's description, Li Heping found that the information matched and his vigilance was lowered. Thinking of the unknown situation on the sixth floor, his heart was lifted again: "This floor is very strange. Once you enter, you can't leave. It's the same if you enter."

Tina turned around and roughly understood the situation on this floor, and came to meet Lu Yao.

Tina: "When are you going out?" Lu Yao

: "Have you figured it out?"

Tina nodded: "It's not a big problem." Lu

Yao raised his hand and made a "wait a minute" gesture, turned around and said to Li Heping: "Don't worry. Do you have anything to take with you? Take it and leave

in a moment." Li Heping was speechless for a moment.

They didn't listen to him at all, could they really take them out? Xu Hongmei

didn't think too much about it. She just thought it was a good thing to be able to get out. She turned

around and dragged out the travel backpack that she had hidden in advance from the store. She was worried that there were too many things, so she prepared to take some out. Lu Yao called her: "It's okay with just two bags."

Li Heping still felt it was unreliable, and just waiting was not a solution.

They have been trapped for two days. Apart from trusting these two people who claim to be errand runners, there seems to be no other way out.

Lu Yao pulled Tina aside to talk.

Tina: "There is a relatively special zombie on this floor, similar to a special individual among monsters. It may regard this place as a hunting place and set hunting traps. The people who come in are its reserve food."
