Fortunately, there were not many mutated zombies along the way, and their levels were not high. Li Yanting could solve them all by himself.
By the time they safely reached the entrance of the target air-raid shelter, it was already dark.
Zombies were more active at night than during the day, and the speed of the zombies wandering outside the streets had obviously increased.
There were not many zombies at the entrance of the air-raid shelter. After a few simple cleanups, Hesheng took the lead in finding the control room for the lighting in the cave.
There were no zombies in the control room. Li Yanting locked Hesheng inside, and then went deep into the road with Da Kun to explore the way.
Hesheng’s ability was precious and useless in this doomsday. Precious was relative to others, and useless was relative to herself.
“Relievers” could help ability users cultivate and advance, but they were not offensive abilities, so for herself, she was no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, in the dimly lit air-raid shelter control room, Hesheng could not have night vision like other ability users.
She was here, completely blind.
However, fortunately, she had been to the control room before and knew the approximate location of the main lighting switch, so she could find it by groping alone.
There was nothing in the main control room, only a mess on the ground.
Hesheng carefully stepped over the papers and wooden blocks on the ground to find the main switch in front of the control table.
Perhaps her own voice had covered up the abnormality. Behind the door that Hesheng didn’t know about, the door of the standing wardrobe made a “click” sound, and then something came out of the wardrobe.
Hesheng was groping for the location of the main switch based on her memory. There was nothing else in the narrow control room except for Hesheng’s breathing echoing.
The moment Hesheng pushed the main switch up, the electric light above her head flickered twice with the “crackling” current.
In the brief, dazzling white, Hesheng saw the blood splattered on the console and a dried corpse leaning in the corner, having committed suicide by drinking bullets.
“Clatter…”
A piece of broken wood rolled to Hesheng’s feet.
Then a chill rushed straight up Hesheng’s spine. In the flickering light, she saw the shadow cast on the ground.
That thing was approaching her, making a creaking sound of joint friction.
The lights flickered quickly and finally stabilized, and the shadow’s head was tilted at a strange angle, not far from Hesheng.
The control room was still quiet, and Hesheng’s breathing became heavy and rapid. She instinctively took out a dagger from her waist, silently praying in her heart that this must be an ordinary zombie.
The “creaking” sound kept approaching, and the “hoarse” sound like a broken bellows was like the breath of a demon, tightly Cling Hesheng’s breathing, as if enveloping her whole body, making her scalp tingle and her hands and feet cold.
In the blink of an eye, the zombie was close.
Hesheng had no more time. She abandoned her fear and quickly turned around, stabbing the dagger into the zombie’s body with all her strength.
At this time, Hesheng also saw the zombie’s hideous and rotten face, especially the fangs it revealed after opening its mouth.
The sense of urgency was pushed to the peak at this moment, and the fangs close at hand rushed towards Hesheng with extreme danger.
This was not an ordinary zombie, this was a mutated level 2 zombie!
Hesheng’s mind went blank for a moment, and her limbs reacted before her brain.
She pushed hard with the dagger, pressed her lower back against the console, and kicked the zombie.
But the zombie only shook for a moment, and rushed over like a gust of wind, showing its full mouth of fangs to Hesheng.
“Hoarse…”
At the critical moment, Hesheng remembered the gun in the hand of the dried corpse just now.
She bent down and knelt on the ground the moment the zombie pounced, quickly Climb to the position of the dried corpse, and pulled out the cold iron in his hand.
Just like her father had trained her countless times, she loaded the bullet, aimed, and fired. Hesheng leaned against the dried corpse, and her movements were not sloppy at all.
“Bang! Bang bang bang…”
Hesheng fired several shots in a row, and the recoil of the gun made her wrist numb. The deafening gunshots echoed in the narrow control room.
With a “thump,” a heavy object fell to the ground, and Hesheng’s ears were also buzzing.
The zombie’s chest and head had been shot six or seven times by Hesheng, and it was already a bloody mess, and its fingertips were still making “crackling” sparks, which was a lightning-type ability, but it could no longer be used.
This was not the first time Hesheng had faced zombies alone, and it couldn’t be considered the most thrilling time, but it still made her feel lingering fear.
Because this time, she wanted to live.
In her previous life, she had escaped for three years, and she had brushed shoulders with death many times. Every time, she had the determination to die and didn’t leave herself any room for maneuver. Sometimes, she even fought with her life, thinking that even if she died, it would be worth it.
But now, she wanted to live, for herself and for Li Yanting.
Having been reborn once, she had too many things to do.
Li Yanting, who was exploring the road in the air-raid shelter, was shocked when he heard the gunshots and immediately turned back, rushing back as quickly as possible.
He kicked open the locked door and rushed in anxiously to find Hesheng.
The control room was a mess, and the smell of gunpowder was faintly spreading, but it was quickly suppressed by the smell of Carrion.
A bloody zombie corpse was lying on the ground, and Hesheng was standing next to it, Supporting the console, with a gun in her hand and pale lips.
“You’re back.”
Hesheng’s ears were still buzzing. Seeing Li Yanting coming back, she relaxed instantly and pulled out a heartwarming smile.
The zombie on the ground Sting Li Yanting’s eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed Hesheng’s arm to check for injuries, his heart Burning with anxiety.
It was his negligence that he hadn’t discovered that there was a zombie hidden in the control room and had locked her and the zombie in such a narrow control room.
“I’m fine, luckily there was a gun.”
Li Yanting’s anxiety was almost written on his face. Hesheng felt warm and astringent in her heart, her eyes heated up, and she leaned over and hugged Li Yanting’s waist.
Li Yanting’s hand in the air paused, and he immediately wrapped his arms around Hesheng’s back, tightly embedding the person in his arms.
“Brother!”
Da Kun also rushed back when he heard the sound, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw the two people hugging each other and the gun in Hesheng’s hand.
Past experience rang the alarm in his mind. Da Kun didn’t even see the zombie lying on the ground and subconsciously thought that Hesheng had shot and attacked Li Yanting.
He was immediately furious and raised his hand to use his ability to the gun in Hesheng’s hand.
The pistol was controlled by a powerful ability, steadily suspended in mid-air, facing Hesheng’s head, with the trigger taut and ready to fire.
“Brother, are you okay!”
Da Kun had just asked when he saw Li Yanting turn around holding Hesheng, standing between the pistol and Hesheng, protecting Hesheng tightly.
Looking over with an annoyed gaze, he silently pressured Da Kun to swallow his saliva.
He then belatedly realized that there was also a zombie lying on the ground that had been beaten into a sieve.
Hesheng couldn’t see what was happening, but she guessed roughly. She didn’t blame Da Kun.
After all, she was someone with a “previous conviction.” Li Yanting could let go of the past and believe her because he loved her, but Da Kun had no kinship with her and couldn’t believe her so quickly.
But Hesheng still couldn’t help but feel lost.
