Chapter 44 Strange Woman
Guo Jun led everyone to search for Aina's traces. After a lot of trouble, he finally found the clues she left behind near an unfinished building.
"The deputy team should be hidden there!" Guo Jun pointed to the complex less than a kilometer away. Under the gloomy sky, the building seemed particularly dilapidated, decadent, and full of death. The dark steel bars were exposed under the cement, and there were ferocious scratches and already dry and dark blood on the broken walls. But even so, compared to the surrounding low houses and open spaces, the crumbling old buildings were the only place suitable for hiding and chasing.
Perhaps because of the time of escaping, Aina's clues were left nearby and completely cut off.
"Why is it so quiet nearby? Have the zombies left?" Shi Wenxin stood on tiptoe and looked around in the distance, but found that there was a mess around. Apart from the messy footprints on the ground, he didn't even see the zombies wandering.
"When searching, you must join in groups. Those zombies are much more advanced than those downstairs of the hotel. I'm afraid of fraud." At this time, Jiang Li had only two magazines left on his MP5 submachine gun. He estimated it and said to everyone: "Single shooting is accurate shooting. Short shooting, 2 to 3 shots at a time, which means that I can kill up to twenty zombies. But the gunshot will attract more monsters to gather here. I don't want to shoot unless I have to."
"It's better to save bullets." Rong Yu thought for a while: "I'm afraid that I will encounter other attacks on the way out."
"I hope the monster chasing Aina has left." Shi Wenxin swallowed, and his heart was relieved.
Several people slowed down and walked into the building complex. There were many abandoned steel bars and garbage erected downstairs. The nearby weeds almost forced everyone's waists. A gust of cold wind blew, and the dirty plastic bags were like gray ghosts hanging near the building. The weeds made a rustling sound, and the air was filled with a pungent dusty atmosphere, which made everyone feel uncomfortable in breathing.
The sign at the foot was seriously decayed. Under the rust like fish scales, the words "Construction? Idle?" could be vaguely distinguished. The Li River bent over the road, pushed aside the weeds around the sign, and found a shallow footprint on the soft soil.
"It's the trace of Aina." She recognized the pattern of the soles of the shoes at a glance, and the size of the footprints was also in line with the other party's body shape.
"Then go to this building to see the situation first." Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the abandoned building in front of him. This unfinished building was originally a residential residential area, but before it could be completed, the end of the world had already arrived.
The five people entered the building. Although they were very careful, the movements of leather boots walking seemed particularly loud in this empty building.
Jiang Li walked to the stairs first, and on the dusty steps, he saw several footprints. Out of caution, he did not immediately call Aina's name, but followed the footprints and tiptoed to search for the other party's traces.
Rong Yu and Mo Shang Lijiang tightened the engineer shovel in their hands, while Shi Wenxin squatted by the corridor window, paying attention to the movement downstairs at all times. Several people were constantly alert to the surroundings to prevent any changes. Guo Jun saw that the footprints on the ground stopped abruptly in front of a closed door on the second floor. He looked at Jiang Li, and the two exchanged glances with each other and gently pushed open the void door in front of them.
"Save...I..." At this moment, a woman's intermittent call for help suddenly sounded in the empty and lonely corridor. The sound was weak and very weak, so small that Jiang Li almost thought he was hallucinating.
Everyone immediately held their breath nervously and listened carefully to the movements in the darkness.
"Ah...ah...I..." The voice was slightly louder than before, as if the other party was squirming his throat with difficulty, and he barely squeezed out some sound from his throat. Jiang Li had not spoken much to Aina, and he could not determine whether it was the other party for a while. He looked at Guo Jun for sex, and the other party frowned, which was a little difficult to judge for a while.
It was not his fault. The woman's voice was so hoarse that it was hard to determine the other party's identity through several intermittent syllables.
But what is certain is that the zombies don’t know how to speak. Even if that person is not Aina, it is very likely that he is the one who survived the previous group!
"Let's see what's going on." Jiang Li held the submachine gun in his hand and walked towards Guo Jun one after another. The woman's voice came from the stairs in front of everyone. It can be confirmed that her position should be the corridor on the third floor.
The stairs were pitch black, and the deeper the light became, the dimmer. At this time, Rong Yu's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot. His breathing became heavier, and his hands holding the weapon also trembled slightly.
"Go behind me." Jiang Li patted his arm and signaled the other party to relax. He walked at the front of the team, stopped suddenly at the turning point of the stairs, leaned his body against the wall, and then slowly poked his head out...
Unlike the second floor, all the windows on the third floor were sealed. The windows here were nailed with wooden boards, and only a few rays of light shone out from the gaps in the wood, shining on the corridor. On the gloomy corridor, Jiang Li saw a woman in rags.
Although her figure was very similar, Jiang Li could tell at a glance that the other party was not Aina. Aina had short hair in a straight head, but the woman had long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes were distracted, and her hair looked dirty. She didn't know what she had been stuck in. The strands of hair were stuck together and fell on her shoulders.
The woman had barefoots, her originally white and tender feet were covered with dust, stained with blood stains worn by the gravel on the ground and glass. Every step she took would drag a long blood mark on the ground, which looked very desolate.
What really caught Jiang Li's attention was the woman's outfit.
The clothes she wore were exactly the same as the male corpse in the hotel. There was no doubt that this woman was indeed the last group of scientific researchers sent by the camp to collect samples.
Guo Jun poked his head out, and after seeing the other person's face clearly, he was immediately surprised.
"She... isn't she the missing Dr. Yang?" Guo Jun pulled Jiang Li back to the wall and whispered: "There was her in the previous group of teams, but I didn't expect that there were survivors here!"
"Then find a way to take her away first." Rong Yu was tortured by the dark environment here. At this moment, without finding Aina's trace, he just wanted to leave quickly.
"Wait a minute." Just as Rong Yu was about to walk out, Jiang Li grabbed his arm. At this time, his face looked a little strange: "What's wrong, I always think there is something wrong with that woman."
"She seems to have something wrong with her mental state, and she may have been frightened." Despite saying this, Rong Yu also stopped moving, slowly squatted beside Jiang Li, and quietly observed the other party.
