"What's going on with the fucking cook? He's actually afraid of heights?" Thomas Xu waited for Gao Hai to come in, and quickly closed the iron door and looked at Gao Hai very depressed. Gao Hai also shook his head dejectedly, saying that he didn't know either. But before Thomas Xu inserted the door bolt from the inside, the two of them clearly heard a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from outside. They thought it was some kind of living corpse, but then a huge scream came.
"Ah...Help, help, open the door quickly..."
"Isn't Gouri's brain bad? Why did you jump down again?" Thomas Xu looked at Gao Hai in shock. The miserable voice sounded like it was coming from the dead cook, and he was the only one who could shout outside now.
"Hurry, open the door quickly." Gao Hailai did not think too much and hurriedly asked Thomas Xu to open the door. When the iron door opened again, he saw at a glance that William Peng was lying on the ground with a face full of pain, holding his right leg in his hands and rolling on the ground. Big beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. What was even more critical was that two living corpses had climbed onto the stove. Looking at the big living person in front of him, they roared excitedly and rushed towards him ferociously.
"Fuck" Gao Hai rushed out without hesitation, and kicked away the living corpse closest to him, but he had no time to deal with the other living corpse. Before his fist could reach it, the living corpse roared and jumped on William Peng. William Peng was so frightened that he almost lost his courage. He didn't even dare to push when the living corpse pounced on him. He let the terrifying living corpse bite him on the back of his neck, and he just held his head and screamed loudly.
At the critical moment, Gao Hai, whose punch failed, was so anxious that he didn't even care about his own danger. He rushed forward and pushed the fierce living corpse off William Peng's body. However, due to the obstruction of the stainless steel stove, the space here was very limited. Gao Hai's push hit both the living corpse and the living corpse. There was a heavy muffled sound on the stove, and unfortunately, the back of Gao Hai's head hit a protruding edge of the stove. Although it did not make him unconscious, it was enough to make him dizzy with pain. However, the painless living corpse had no such effect. With a roar, the big Thomas bit him fiercely with his mouth open.
"Bang..."
Just when the living corpse's big mouth was only a dozen centimeters away from Gao Hai's violently beating arteries, a 7.62 mm bullet instantly passed through its brain. With a huge inertia and a burnt smell, the living corpse's tattered head hit the stainless steel stove again.
"Gao Hai, come in quickly." Thomas Xu, who was half leaning on the door, shouted to Gao Hai while shooting out. Gao Hai shook his head vigorously to force himself to wake up. After he reacted, he did not dare to neglect at all. While jumping up from the ground, he hurriedly dragged William Peng Dexter, who was still holding his head and screaming, and fled into the basement.
"Bang~"
The brown iron door slammed shut, and the entire basement immediately fell into darkness. Only a few flashlight beams were slowly moving and shining, and the surroundings were piled high with headless and mutilated corpses, making the place look so eerie and terrifying.
"Husband, are you okay?" Gao Hai's wife anxiously ran to the door and helped Gao Hai up from the ground, and she could faintly see the glistening tears on her face.
"Fool, why are you crying? What can happen if your husband is so strong?" Gao Hai didn't know if his face turned pale because of the fierce battle, but he still shook his head with an indifferent expression and gently touched his beloved wife's long hair.
"Damn it, it's all this unlucky kid's fault. I thought that skinny monkey was cowardly enough, but I didn't expect that there was an even more cowardly one." Thomas Xu glared at William Peng who was holding his legs and groaning miserably on the ground. He kicked him on the head without any courtesy and cursed angrily, "Cry your sister. If you cry again, believe me, I will kick you to death."
"Ah... my leg is broken, my leg is broken." William Peng howled miserably, rolling on the ground and crying loudly. Only then did everyone realize that his right ankle was indeed swollen with a big purple-black blood bag. It was most likely that he hit the stove when he jumped down.
"Look, look, Gao Hai, why are you saving this piece of shit? With so many people, he can break his leg. Now that it's better, if his leg is broken, he's not far away from death." Thomas Xu shook his head in disgust, suddenly picked up his rifle and pointed it at William Peng's head, and said with a cold face, "piece of shit" Shit, you have to know that once your leg is broken, you will have to starve to death if no one takes care of you. It is better to have short-term pain than long-term pain. How about I give you a ride? "
"No... please, I don't want to die yet!" William Peng was stunned, unable to even cry, looking in terror at the dark muzzle of the gun above his head, with countless tear stains on the face of a grown man.
"Hehe~ You can't get away with this!" Thomas Xu sneered, pulling the gun's bolt with a "ka-la" sound, loading a cold bullet into the chamber, and was about to pull the trigger.
"Thomas Xu, stop scaring him! It's not his fault that he's timid!" Gao Hai hurriedly pushed Thomas Xu's hand holding the gun away, turning to look helplessly at William Peng on the ground, saying, "Old William, if you don't want to die, you need to pull yourself together. Come on, sit up. I'll carry you first, and we'll talk once we get out of here!"
"Gao Hai, a person with his personality will just be waiting to die even if he gets to the gathering place. And do you expect to carry him all the way to the gathering place? Just put him down; he's nothing but a burden right now!" Thomas Xu frowned deeply, looking seriously at Gao Hai, still holding the gun firmly in his hand.
"Sigh~ What can I do? I can't just watch Old William go to hell, can I? When we were in trouble, Old William didn't abandon us. We can only take it one step at a time!" Gao Hai sighed softly, slowly squatting down to carry William Peng from the ground. William Peng lay on his back, sobbing like a weak woman, shrinking his head behind Gao Hai, not daring to look at Thomas Xu's cold gaze.
"Sigh~ I really don't understand you!" Thomas Xu also sighed heavily, shaking his head irritably as he walked past Gao Hai and slowly approached Jack.
"Alright, we can't stay here long. Follow my instructions, try to breathe as slowly as possible, don't look at the incomplete corpses around, stay close to me, and let's move out!" Jack said as he saw everyone come down the stairs, quickly giving a few instructions, cautiously shining his flashlight around, and then heading quickly towards the tunnel they had come from.
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Thomas Xu, walking alongside Jack, grabbed him without warning. Thomas Xu's face looked exceptionally grim as he stared at the large gray iron double doors a few meters away, lowering his voice and saying, "Lin Ge, something's not right. It seems like someone has been here. Do you remember that I specifically closed one of those doors last night? But look, they're all wide open now!"
"You closed the door last night?" Jack turned around suddenly, looking at Thomas Xu with a serious expression, disbelief flickering in his eyes.
"I... I did close it!" Thomas Xu's heart skipped a beat at Jack's expression, hurriedly saying, "I even told you when I closed the door, just in case something came, we could quickly use the door to block it. You... you don't remember?"
"Mikael... do you remember?" Jack frowned, looking at Mikael by his feet. Mikael, of course, heard their conversation. He had no playful expression, just shaking his head seriously. But as Mikael shook his head, Jack's expression also turned grim. He quickly said to Thomas Xu, "No matter whether you closed the door or not, getting out quickly is the most important thing!"
"..."
A chill ran up Thomas Xu's spine, reaching the top of his head. As a trained bodyguard, even if he wasn't the best in the world, he would never forget a door he had closed. Therefore, he looked at Jack in horror and suddenly lowered his voice, stammering, "Did you not tell me yesterday that we can't take everyone away and must leave one or two people in the basement? Otherwise, there would be terrifying monsters that would prevent us from leaving? So... so I wanted to kill that chef!"
"Crack, crack..."
Jack answered Thomas Xu's question by drawing his weapon and loading a special bullet. As Thomas Xu looked at Jack's serious expression, he swallowed hard. He certainly understood what Jack meant: it was simply impossible!
"Stop the nonsense, let's go!" Jack pulled the slide to chamber a bullet. He had a very ominous premonition, a feeling of falling into someone else's huge conspiracy. But he couldn't afford to think too much; they were like a turtle trapped in a jar, only able to bury their heads and charge into the unclear tunnel ahead. They had no other way out.
