Chapter 80 No People, Only Gold (28) Waiting for the Epiphyllum to Bloom...
There was a violent banging on the door, waking up the people in the house.
"Is there anyone here? Why is the door blocked?" a girl shouted outside the door.
Duan Song jumped up suddenly as if there was a spring behind him, tightly grasping a knife. He gestured to the others to be quiet, hid his footsteps, walked to the bed, opened the curtains a little, and took a look outside.
"You Beibei," he said through the telepathic link, "open the door?"
Gao Mengtang hesitated for a moment: "Open the door."
The door creaked open, and You Beibei and a few men in black ran in in a panic, panting heavily, "Your Excellency?"
They immediately hid inside and closed the door. You Beibei sat on the ground and bandaged the wound with gauze expertly: "It's a mess outside, zombies broke out, people ran out of the park, and so did we."
But there were also zombies wandering in the barren mountains and woods. When they poisoned the animals, they did not operate properly and polluted the water source. The wild animals in the mountains and woods turned into zombies after drinking the stream water.
The forest was covered with branches and leaves, and the environment was complex, so the zombies were not easy to be found. They were ambushed and all injured. They had no choice but to retreat back to the park and find a building to hide in.
The others already knew the ending, so they nodded and said nothing.
You Beibei: "Someone reported the situation to the Zhongzhou government, saying that reinforcements would arrive within a day, but there is still no sign of them. What a poor job."
She rested for a while, drank some water, ate a piece of bread, and burped: "I don't know when my father will come to save me. It's a sandstorm and the traffic is not smooth. I'm afraid I have to endure it for a few more days. Sigh."
"Who instructed your father to poison the crystal pump?" Gao Mengtang asked.
You Beibei believed that Gao Mengtang was the leader of the evil cult Yuefan Sect, and that he had great potential for development. The people around him were all his trusted missionaries, so he was not on guard and said frankly, "I don't know. I never ask about family matters."
"But the one who can boss my father around must be an important person."
Gao Mengtang: "Zhongzhou politicians?"
You Beibei thought for a while and said, "I don't know. But I don't think there is such a big hatred between the Zhongzhou government and the industrial park that they have to use the zombie virus to wipe out the entire park. Thousands of lives are at stake. This approach is too extreme. It seems like there is some deep blood feud."
The eastern sky was just getting light. The player, who had not had a good rest the night before, had a sallow complexion and two dark circles under his eyes.
Gao Mengtang got up early, leaned against the wall, drew a sketch, and occasionally closed his eyes to recall the moment.
Unable to find a pencil, he used a stick of wood with a burnt end. With a few strokes, he sketched a rough outline.
Wei Wei counted the canned food and instant noodles that were still edible.
"There's not enough food. It's only enough for one day."
Where can I find food at this critical moment? I am lucky not to become food for zombies.
You Beibei was using an axe to chop furniture into wooden boards and nail them to the door and window frames. Upon hearing this, she put down the axe.
"In the warehouse of the industrial park, there is a private storage room of Qian Hao. There are more than ten whole hams, five kilograms of handmade dark chocolate, as well as wine, cigars, fish glue, wild ginseng..."
Hearing the series of high-end ingredients, the charlatan's eyes lit up: "After such a long time, will they be eaten by zombies?"
"No, zombies don't use combination locks," You Beibei said, "but I stole the combination."
Leaving Weiwei here to guard the door, Duan Song followed You Beibei to leave, Gao Mengtang trotted over from behind and said, "I'm going too, I'm going too."
Just as Duan Song was about to say "It's dangerous, don't go", Gao Mengtang took his hand, put it around her waist, and looked up at him: "I run slowly, you take me there."
Duan Song: "No——"
"You can't even protect me, right?" Gao Mengtang pretended to let go of his hand. "Forget it, I'll let Wei Wei take me there."
Just as he took a step forward, Duan Song grabbed him by the waist and dragged him back. He tiptoed and jumped out like a cheetah.
You Beibei who fell behind: ...
Guess what, I was so busy chopping the furniture that I forgot to chop you.
The blue building was located at the top of a small hill. The zombies had stiff legs and it was very difficult for them to go up and down the hill, so they rarely climbed up the hill. When they reached the foot of the hill, they found that there were more zombies in the park than Gao Mengtang had imagined.
Like wild animals that occupy abandoned city nests, zombies move freely in and out of buildings, but living people are rarely seen.
At the smell of human flesh, the zombies rushed towards the three people like moths to a flame.
Duan Song jumped up on the spot, stepped on the zombie's head, and continued running towards the warehouse.
When you step on it, you can hear the crackling sound of the spine breaking, just like stepping on bubble wrap, which is very relaxing.
The zombies imprisoned in the warehouse were the first to go out of control, and the situation here was even more horrible than in other places. There were broken limbs, muscle tissue, and bones that had been gnawed into residue everywhere.
"Be careful, Qian Hao is locked up in the warehouse, no one should let him out, he is still hiding in a corner." Gao Mengtang reminded. He quietly held a ball of paper in his hand.
You Beibei hurried over and led them to Qian Hao's private storage room. To enter the storage room, you need to enter two passwords, one is the password for the iron doors on both sides of the corridor, and the other is the password for the main door of the storage room.
There was no invasion here and the food was well preserved. Duan Song deftly put the chocolate into the bag and hung the whole ham around his waist.
While the two were busy, Gao Mengtang stood at the door to keep watch.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
Three warning sounds came from beneath the ground, and the source of the sound was quite far away.
This voice was engraved into Duan Song's DNA. Not long after entering the park, he fell into Gao Mengtang's trap and was chased and beaten by a giant gold-grabbing hand.
Three "ding" sounds will be heard before the giant gold-grabbing hand appears.
"Has anyone among you fallen into the illusion trap?" Gao Mengtang asked hurriedly.
You Beibei and Duan Song looked confused, their eyes were clear and there was no sign of being confused.
If the trap was not triggered by these three people, then it means... there is someone outside!
Turning around, I saw a zombie at the other end of the corridor, grabbing the broken glass on the ground and stuffing it into its mouth like a starving ghost.
The zombies triggered the trap.
"What are you daydreaming about? Get out of the way!" Duan Song flew over, hugged Gao Mengtang, and rolled several times on the floor to avoid the next three attacks.
The three of them ran out as fast as they could, their lungs almost exploded, and finally ran to the end of the corridor.
clang--
The gate came down before their eyes, sealing off the corridor.
Duan Song slammed on the brakes, throwing Gao Mengtang out of his arms, and his own shoulder hit the iron gate. There were two crackling sounds, and a large area of his skin was immediately burnt by the high voltage electricity.
A pair of scarlet eyes appeared on the other side of the iron gate. Qian Hao stood outside the door and pressed the button to close the door.
His Butcher's awakening progress bar has reached 70%, and he looks ferocious and terrifying. His eyes, red as if they were about to drip blood, glanced at the three people.
"You. Damn it." Qian Hao spoke word by word, a ball of black air condensed at his hands, and his skin instantly dried, cracked, and turned black.
Qian Hao opened his mouth wide and roared, sticking out a forked tongue: "You, go to hell!"
The control stick was pushed up, and the air crackled with electricity. The player quickly stepped back, but Gao Mengtang still stood there.
"Venerable, come back, it's dangerous there!" You Beibei shouted.
As if Gao Mengtang hadn't heard him, he unfolded the paper ball he had been holding in his hand, held it in front of Qian Hao's eyes, and wrote three words coldly: "Keep an eye on him."
On the back of the paper printed with the thesis was a sketch he had just drawn that morning. The lines were sloppy but vivid, and the picture was of the pale man he saw in "Xuanhu", Bu Xiaoting's lover.
Qian Hao exerted force on the control lever, and the lever broke with a snap. He howled like a mad dog and, ignoring the high voltage electricity on the iron gate, rushed forward. His fat hand reached through the gap in the fence and tried to grab the sketch in Gao Mengtang's hand.
An arm wrapped around Gao Mengtang's collarbone and dragged him back. Duan Song gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, you really know how to increase my workload."
System: "The Butcher [Gold Grabber [Chief]] is about to wake up, players, run!"
The current was sucked away by Qian Hao's bloated body, and several wires broke, bounced into the air, and became tangled. A blinding white light flashed, and the current short-circuited.
The three of them immediately turned around and ran towards another exit in the corridor.
In a Sequence 4 difficulty dungeon, the Butcher’s overall strength is enough to tie with any high-end player.
Duan Song could run very fast by himself, but it was hard to say if he was dragging You Beibei and Gao Mengtang. The butcher chased him closely, and his thick fingers touched the back of his clothes several times.
Gao Mengtang was carried on Duan Song's shoulders, with his head tilted backwards. He took the opportunity to take out the sketch and smeared it on Qian Hao's face: "Look carefully!"
“Ah————!” Qian Hao tore the piece of paper off. When he saw that face, the scream was so miserable that it made people’s heart break.
His whole body was swollen, his neck became thick, and blue fluorescence flickered in his throbbing blood vessels.
System: "The butcher [Gold Grabber [Chief]] has awakened."
The gust of wind blew the piece of draft paper back, right onto You Beibei's face. She tore it off and was about to throw it away when she glanced at it casually.
"Your Excellency, have you seen him?!" You Beibei was shocked.
Gao Mengtang was also stunned: "Have you seen it?"
The disadvantages of the butcher's increased size became apparent. He was too fat to pass through the corridor and was sandwiched between two walls. He swung his limbs violently, causing spider-web-like cracks to appear in the reinforced concrete building.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Song dragged the two people and quickly escaped.
The butcher would not catch up for the time being, but he could not relax yet. Duan Song ran more than 2,000 meters before stopping to catch his breath.
"Who is this person?" Gao Mengtang took back the sketch.
You Beibei: "My father's friend, he got Qian Hao's son addicted to gambling, owed him loan sharks, and then tortured and killed him. This man was the one who started all of this."
"Where does he work?" Gao Mengtang asked.
You Beibei shook his head: "I don't know, but he doesn't look like an ordinary gang member. He is educated and more like a scientist."
"Oh, right." You Beibei suddenly thought of something and looked directly into Gao Mengtang's eyes. The player's attention will be unconsciously and uncontrollably focused on her, which means that the NPC is about to reveal key information.
"This weird man loves Epiphyllum, especially the giant-winged Epiphyllum. He stays up late at night waiting for the Epiphyllum to bloom."
