Chapter 26 Corpse
Jiang Li and Rongyou moved away the cabinet that fell to the ground in front of them, carefully searching for valuable items in the ruins, and soon found some small diamond jewelry and pendants. They put the collected supplies into close-fitting cloth bags, feeling quite satisfied with these spoils.
Although the shops in the mall were swept away by refugees as early as the Doomsday Virus broke out, as long as they searched patiently, they could still get some unexpected gains. The area of the shop that Jiang Li brought them to search for supplies was indeed much larger than the one that Wang Kaiyang and the other had previously been interested in. By the time the two of them were found, Jiang Li and the other two had already collected the things.
"Brother Wang, Brother Li, how did you two gain?" Looking at the heavy cloth bag in Jiang Li's hand, Wang Kaiyang sighed regretfully: "I found a few gadgets. I saw a piece of big fat meat, but before I could eat it, I was taken first by two other bastards."
After entering the warehouse, the two young men disappeared. In order to prevent others from getting a share of the pie, they even locked the door. Therefore, Wang Kaiyang and Li Gu had to give up the gold shop and then look for new goals.
Cheng Yuanqi used the flashlight and stopped by a wall near the escape passage. The wall skin here had been severely peeled off, and the green moss on the wall fell all over the ground, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell unique to plants in the air. At first glance, there was nothing strange, but what really attracted Cheng Yuanqi's attention was the scars on this wall.
On this wall, there were five strange scratches twenty centimeters long and nearly five centimeters deep. Cheng Yuanqi stretched out his hand and gestured to it, and then suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some grayish-white foreign objects in the depression.
When he pulled the thing out of the gap, the other two soldiers behind him also showed surprise: the thing looked like a hook, rough and thick, and the surface body was slightly black. After a closer look, it turned out to be a half-broken nail!
"Is it another mutant beast?" a soldier said with a serious expression.
However, Cheng Yuanqi shook his head. He stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers, and slowly covered the wall. His five fingers coincided perfectly with several scars.
"I'm afraid it's something more difficult." Cheng Yuanqi's face stuttered. Recalling the disappearance of the vanguard troops this time, he murmured as if he was talking to himself: "Is that legend true..."
"This time it's a great harvest. As long as you find a way to bring a few things with you and check it out, we two can eat meat for at least a month!" At this time, the two young men opened the door and walked out of the gold shop.
"Yes, I can only eat the rough and difficult-to-swallowed bread and energy bars. I almost forgot the taste of meat..." His companion around him swallowed: "Although the scavengers can get a delicious meat cake after they return, it's not enough to eat!"
"I can have a good time when I go back this time! Not only that, didn't Ye Su say that? If I go back alive, I still have the opportunity to become an explorer. Then we go to the black market to exchange more food to celebrate. We two will be happy." The two of them said happily and stepped out of the gate of the gold shop.
At this moment, a slight movement suddenly came from the darkness behind him. However, the two young men were immersed in the excitement of the conversation and did not hear the movement. Of course, they did not see a black shadow, which quickly flashed through the back of the warehouse door.
"Captain, the second floor has been searched almost all, and the number of people is complete." After counting the number of scavengers, Cheng Yuanqi led everyone to search the third and fourth floors in turn. After confirming that the third floor is safe, he left three soldiers, and he took the others to the top floor. After receiving the news, Jiang Li and his group of scavengers went to the third floor to continue scavenging. As soon as they came up, they took their teammates straight to the silver jewelry store. Even Wang and Li benefited from it and found a lot of valuable things. With these generous incomes, the panic and tension in the hearts of the people at the beginning also dissipated a lot. It has been nearly three hours since they entered the mall, but so far, everyone has not found any traces of zombies.
"Brother Jiang, you really have two tricks! This mall is obviously the first time you have come to this mall, but why are you familiar with it as if you often visit it? As soon as you come, you took us to find such a remote place one after another." Wang Kaiyang breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the dilapidated antique shop in front of him, looking at Jiang Li with some admiration, and at the same time, he was glad that this cooperation was the right person.
"Yes, those fools are still wandering around like headless flies. This time we finally took the lead!" Li Gu felt angry when he remembered the two young men just now.
"I'm too proud. I don't have any other skills, but my sense of direction and ability to remember the road is better than others." Jiang Li pushed away the dusty door in front of him, waved his hand, and kept dusting the dust floating in the air.
Everyone entered the store and headed straight to both sides of the counter. Jiang Li had found a lot of things before, but at this time he had no intention of competing with others, so he just looked around briefly.
He walked to a door and held the handle. Although the door was closed tightly, it was not locked. Jiang Li didn't think much about it, but turned the handle and opened the door. In an instant, a bad smell came to his face, and Jiang Li covered his mouth and nose directly. Not only him, but also several others stopped their movements after smelling the smell.
"What's so smelly!" Rong Yu covered his nose and walked to Jiang Li, lit it inward with a flashlight, but suddenly saw a large pool of sticky black liquid and a pile of rotten meat on the ground. The pieces of meat were dark red, and they could not be said to be minced meat or organs. After countless days of fermentation and rot, they became what they are today.
Not only that, Jiang Li soon saw a broken limb in the storage room with only bones left. There were still some broken steps hanging on the arm, but it was not difficult to identify - this was the defensive coat worn by the explorer, and the corpse in front of him should be the previous group of missing persons killed!
"Not good!" At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly got dressed in white sweat. The corpse in front of him was enough to prove that this mall was not as safe as they thought.
"How come there are explorers here? We confirmed when we came just now that there were no traces left by troops cleaning downstairs..." Wang Kaiyang suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Maybe they were in danger. After everyone was dispersed, he ran to the mall alone to take refuge, and then he was ambushed and died here." Rong Yu said. However, Jiang Li walked into the door without fear of death. Looking at the corpses on the ground and the walls, the blood splattered everywhere on the door, and his whole body fell into silence.
"Hurry, run!" After Wang Kaiyang reacted, he immediately rushed to the door. Li Gu also moved. The first thought of the two after seeing the corpse was naturally to tell other explorers about this.
"Let's go quickly, it's not safe here." Although there was only one corpse left in the narrow storage room, Lijiang on Mo still pulled the other party's sleeve and signaled him to leave soon.
