The drifting city of the last days

Chapter 14 Missing Persons

Luo Zhen and Shao Yunfan raised their heads, and saw the woman's long hair bursting like pine needles, and sections of white light arcs like electric waves loomed on her body.The ferocious beast that was pressing on the woman jumped up and landed more than one meter away from her.The beast stared at her in fear, crouched down, retreated step by step, and after a few steps, turned around and ran away with its tail between its legs.The woman who sat up looked at her hands in a panic, covered her bleeding arm, got up and ran towards the little girl.

The beast that was biting the little girl raised its head fiercely, looking at her warily, with blood and minced meat on its mouth.The woman looked at the little girl's mutilated body in grief, and a volleyball-sized ball of light burst out between her hands, and white electric lights "sizzled" and ran wildly on it.

"Boom!" The ball of light shot out like a laser cannon, hitting the beast whose front paws were still pressing on the little girl.

"Bang!" The body of the beast was shot three or four meters away, and fell on the ice, leaving bloodstains nearly one meter long.Half of its head was blown bloody, and its front paws slashed in the air a few times, and it died instantly.The woman picked up the bloody body of the little girl, and staggered towards the apartment behind her.

"She strengthened?" Shao Yunfan looked at Luo Zhen in shock.

"It should be." Luo Zhen stared out the window, frowning, is there such a way to strengthen?The seven people in the hotel were all strengthened after waking up with a fever. The woman in front of him seemed to have erupted directly?

"It seems to be a photoelectric ability." Zhang Junjiu rubbed his chin and sighed, then looked at Shao Yunfan thoughtfully.

"Aren't you leaving quickly?" Shen Nan and Zhou Ye anxiously poked their heads out from the railing on the ninth floor.

Luo Zhen finally glanced at the empty sky outside, patted Shao Yunfan on the shoulder, "Go back first." The three hurried upstairs.

Zhou Ye didn't pay attention, and ran to the 21st floor with the others. He leaned against the wall, panting, and smiled awkwardly, "Otherwise, I would have moved to the 21st floor."

"Then move quickly." Han Zheng opened the door of 2708. Everyone lives close to each other and can take care of each other. "Now there are only a few vacant rooms on this floor, just find a way to open one."

"Little Taoist priest, do you want to live with me?" Zhou Ye turned his head and asked Zhang Junjiu. Now there are a bunch of mutated animals downstairs, and this little Taoist priest may not be able to go to City D for the time being.

Zhang Junjiu shook his head, smiled and said, "I have to follow Fuxing."

Shao Yunfan, who was hit by an arrow in his knee, was stunned, "That lucky star doesn't mean me?"

The little Taoist smiled, and made a "yes, it's you" expression, "the patriarch must have guided me to find you in the dark, and I won't leave until I'm broken."

What guidance, isn't it just going the wrong way?Shao Yunfan blinked in disbelief, "Aren't you going to City D?"

The little Taoist nodded firmly, "I want to follow you."

Shao Yunfan looked at Shen Nan and Luo Zhen as if asking for help.

"It's very dangerous here, and we don't have any extra places to take you in." Shen Nan said coldly.

"It's okay, I'll just stay at the door." Zhang Junjiu had a bright smile on his face, and he was determined to cling to them.

Shen Nan: ……………

After Zhang Junjiu finished speaking, he took out a bright yellow round cushion from his backpack, put it at the door of 2707, and sat down on the spot with the backpack in his arms.Han Zheng took Zhou Ye to find an empty room, Shen Nan looked at Luo Zhen in embarrassment, and pushed Shao Yunfan into the door.

"Why do you have to follow us?" Luo Zhen stood at the half-open door, the tall figure in the backlight gave people a silent sense of oppression.

"Why do you think I came here safe and sound?" Zhang Junjiu asked without answering, looking up at Luo Zhen with a half-smile.

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows with interest, motioning for him to continue.

"Observing one's veins, one can know the good and bad fortunes of the world, and I know that everything will go well in this trip, and every bad luck will turn into good luck, so nothing will happen." Zhang Junjiu's brows were a little smug, "I can also help you resolve it." All bloodshed."

"But you went the wrong way." Luo Zhen revealed mercilessly.

"It was an accident, an accident." Zhang Junjiu smiled dryly, and the person's reaction was different from what he expected, "It must be the patriarch who directed me to find Fu Xing, so it is good to turn evil into good luck!"

Luo Zhen shrugged his shoulders, making a gesture to close the door.

"Let me stay for two days, and I can prove my usefulness, otherwise I will leave by myself!" Zhang Junjiu hurriedly held the door.

"Two days?"

Zhang Junjiu gritted his teeth and nodded.Standing near the bar and listening to their conversation, Shen Nan heaved a sigh of relief, two days, it's okay.Anyway, as long as they don't admit that it's useful.

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows, "There are so many of us, we can't share food with you. Where to live." He looked into the room, "You can only sleep on the sofa."

"No problem!" Zhang Junjiu stood up swiftly, picked up the backpack and the cushion, and slid into the door, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

Luo Zhen followed him into the door. This Zhang Junjiu spoke and acted very strangely, and it was difficult to tell the truth from what he said, but it was not a problem to let him stay at the door, so he had to keep an eye on him for the past two days. some.Moreover, if it is what he thinks, more people can share more power.

Shen Nan pointed to the people in the room and introduced Zhang Junjiu, and finally said, "As you can see, we have a lot of people here, and we really can't fit in. In fact, there should be vacant rooms next door." So, you'd better leave quickly !

The little Taoist nodded gratefully as if he didn't understand his subtext, and then cupped his fists and bowed his hands to the few people in the room, "Zhang Junjiu, the sixth-generation chief disciple of Zhenglingmen No. Thank you for your generosity.”

Kaka looked at Zhang Junjiu in disbelief, "Maoshan Taoist?"

"Your Majesty's brows are full of evil spirits, disasters are coming, and there must be bloody disasters in the near future." Zhang Junjiu's eyebrows and eyes were full of sincerity.

"It turns out there are people who speak more irritatingly than you." Wu Fei pouted and said to Qi Liang.

Qi Liang: ……………

"This is to cheat money, right?" Kaka suddenly realized, "I remember I went to Laoshan with my mother last year, and the Taoist seemed to say the same thing. In the end, he tricked my mother into donating [-] yuan of sesame oil money, and I couldn't stop it. .”

"No, no, I am the authentic heir of the Taoist sect, not a charlatan." Zhang Junjiu tried his best to clear his name.

"I heard that Taoism is also divided into four branches: Metaphysics Orthodox School, Danding School, Fulu School, and Zhanyan School. You said you are a disciple of Lingzhengmen, which branch do you belong to?" Qi Liang asked with interest.Shao Yunfan lay down next to Wu Fei in extreme exhaustion. This morning, he was exhausted physically and mentally.

"What I'm learning here is more of an experience. The technique of talismans is still being realized."

"What spells are included in the Divination School?"

"Zhanyan, there are eleven types of spells, such as Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi Shenshu, etc. I am not talented, so far, I have only learned three kinds of Liuyao Yizhan, Physiognomy, and Kanyu." Zhang Junjiu smiled on his lips, The answers are fluent.

The remaining five people were confused and confused, Wu Fei winked at Qi Liang, "What the hell is he talking about?"

"He said he knows divination, face-to-face, and Fengshui." Qi Liang translated.

"Look at Fengshui?" Shen Nan looked at Zhang Junjiu in surprise, "Isn't Fengshui very particular about orientation? How can you go the wrong way?"

"My lord, I was just careless for a while..." A little Taoist priest who can answer everything clearly, no matter whether it is true or not, feels a little unnatural only when he encounters this topic.

"You can't be a road idiot, are you?" Shao Yunfan said suddenly.

See through and don't click through!People are hard to tear down!Zhang Junjiu's brows twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.

"There is no distinction between north and south, how do you look at Feng Shui?" Kaka gave the little Taoist a sideways look, "And said he is not a liar!"

"Don't get entangled with this for now. I think something is not right." Luo Zhen stopped Kaka from complaining, and looked at his phone worriedly, it was [-]:[-].The tsunami has been happening for a full hundred hours.

"Not quite right?" Qi Liang immediately turned serious, "What happened to you down there?"

"All the cats and dogs that survived have also mutated." Shen Nan frowned and told about the situation they encountered below, and Shao Yunfan added the part about the woman.

"That woman's condition sounds different from that of Wang Qi, Zhou Ye, and the others. It seems to have been triggered in an instant at a critical moment. Could there be many different ways to strengthen it?" Qi Liang looked out the window thoughtfully. Only pools of blood and a few mutilated corpses remained.

"Enhancement?" Zhang Junjiu interrupted, "Do you call this situation enhancement?"

"Why, have you seen other enhanced conditions?" Qi Liang answered immediately, how did this person pass through the ice safely under such a dangerous situation?Is it really like what he himself said, can he count good and bad fortune?Could he be an Enhancer too?

"I've seen it." Zhang Junjiu smiled nonchalantly, "There were two downstairs just now, one can stretch his fingernails, and the other can throw out a sticky web like a spider's web."

"Besides them?"

"No more." Zhang Junjiu had a three-point smile on his face all the time, "They are the second group of people I saw after waking up."

"What about the first call?" Kaka asked.

"dead."

Kaka: ……………

wake up?Qi Liang's eyes were wide open, "Have you ever had a fever?"

"No, I helped a boss look at the private house, and later he asked me to go to his villa on the mountain to rest. After the tsunami, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was lying on the floor of the villa. Everyone else died." Zhang Jun Jiu touched the back of his head, it was still swollen.

Qi Liang looked at Luo Zhen dejectedly, "Do you think that woman might have had a fever before?"

Luo Zhen frowned tightly, and said in a solemn tone, "I don't know. But that's not what I'm worried about."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but feel tense, and all looked at Luo Zhen.

"It has been a hundred hours since the tsunami occurred, and there is no sign of any rescue team. Why?"

"Maybe the affected area is too large, and it's not our turn yet?" Kaka guessed.

Luo Zhen shook his head, "City S is the most prosperous city in Asia, with the highest population density. If there is a rescue team, this must be the top three key rescue areas. Now there is not even the most basic aerial detection. In this situation, unless..."

"Unless there is no rescue team dispatched at all." Qi Liang continued. "City S is so important, it is impossible for the government to give up on organizing rescue. If there is no rescue, it means that there are problems outside! Or, it is very likely that not only City S is affected, but the entire Hua Kingdom."

"There is no rescue team?" All the people in the house tensed up.How would they get out without a rescue team?

"If a country encounters a sudden disaster and is unable to save itself, international rescue organizations will not sit idly by." Luo Zhen added, "The worst case scenario should be that the whole world has already been caught in this disaster." Beyond the flood, All animals in the sea, land and air are mutated. If the scope is global, this will be a catastrophe for all mankind.

worldwide?The faces of the people in the room all changed.

Zhang Junjiu nodded in agreement, "Or, this is the so-called end of the world."

The air in the room froze for a few seconds, deathly silence.

No rescue?Not a flood that recedes in a few days, but the end of the world?Despair, fear, confusion, anxiety, if emotions have color, the apartment at this moment must be a lingering dead gray.

"The end of the world?" Kaka gritted his teeth, "2012 has already passed, what a joke!"

Zhang Junjiu spontaneously put the cushion on the side of the tea table and sat down, cleaned out a piece of tabletop, took out the tortoise shell that was as bright as topaz in his arms, put in three copper coins, muttered something, and shook his face solemnly for a few times, Pour out the copper coins.

"The universe is retrograde, the water and fire are soaring to the sky, the thunder and wind are powerless, and the mountains and rivers are exhausted. This is the sign of the destruction of the world." After examining it, the little Taoist sighed.

"Nonsense!" Shao Yunfan stood up abruptly, making Zhang Junjiu tremble in fright, and shrank in the direction of Luo Zhen holding the tortoise shell.

Shao Yunfan didn't believe Zhang Junjiu's words at all, and stared at Luo Zhen, "You mean, my parents may be in the same situation as us now?" If they encounter mutant animals, how can they protect themselves?Thinking of this, Shao Yunfan couldn't sit still.

"This is indeed the worst case." Luo Zhen clenched his five fingers into a fist, his expression solemn.

Shen Nan's breathing was a little heavy, he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't say a word. His parents and family members all live in the countryside, and they are already old. If he also encountered a tsunami, he might have...

Wu Fei bit the back of his hand hard, his eyes turned red.No, his elder brother will be fine.

Ridiculous, Kaka wanted to laugh, but her cheeks twitched a few times, but the sound she made was like sobbing.

Qi Liang stared steadily out of the window.Don't panic, if it is really the end, if you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

Shao Yunfan grabbed his hair, walked around the room a few times anxiously, and looked at the melting ice outside the window, "No way! I have to find a way to get out." He ran to the bedroom to tidy up as he spoke. luggage.

Luo Zhen chased after him and blocked his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Go away, I'm going to save my parents!" Shao Yunfan yelled at him angrily, and wanted to trouble him even at this time.

"Save? How? How far can you go if you go out now? You're just delivering snacks to those things downstairs!" Luo Zhen sternly said.

"It's better to die than to suffer aimlessly here!"

"Coward! You just dare not face the status quo! You want to die for peace of mind!"

"I'm not!" Shao Yunfan violently swung Luo Zhen's hand away, and kicked over the imperial concubine stool at the head of the bed. The veins on his neck were stiffened, and his chest heaved violently.

"Even if Uncle Shao and Aunt Luo are dead, do you think they would be willing to see you down here? If they are not dead, you are their only hope in this disaster. Do you want to kill it yourself?"

"I……"

Luo Zhen reached out and pinched the back of his neck, lowering his voice, "No, calm down, that's just the worst situation."

"But..." Shao Yunfan's eye circles were astringent, and his voice was a little choked up.Calm down, how can he be so calm!

"Even in the worst situation, there is hope only if you survive." Luo Zhen's hand gently slid across Shao Yunfan's neck soothingly. Empathy, a few months ago, he just experienced it.Facing news of the possible death of a loved one, how many people in the world can remain indifferent?

A wall away, the people in the living room silently listened to the quarrel between the two without making a sound. If they survive, can they really survive?

Luo Zhen dragged Shao Yunfan back to the living room, pressed his shoulders and let him sit where he was just now, looking around at the lifeless crowd, "Is it the end? We have to live, and we have to go outside to see it with our own eyes." Know."

Qi Liang pursed his lips, "Yes, we should cheer up now, even if it's the end, aren't we still alive? Maybe our family is the same. Now is far from the time to despair."

Zhang Junjiu looked open-minded, and habitually raised the corners of his mouth, "All things are created, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other." Vitality is turning point.There was a sudden loud noise outside the door, Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows and glanced, remembering that it must be Zhou Ye and Han Zheng who smashed into a certain vacant room.

Qi Liang clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention on himself, "Whether it's the end or not, the most important thing for us now is to survive. There are two things to do right now. The first is to store as much food and food as possible." Shui, Brother Shen, you collect all the money you have on hand, we have to go shopping with Boss Lei as soon as possible." When the end of the world really comes, all the cash has been turned into waste paper, and there is no way to exchange waste paper for rations. Much better deals than this.

"Understood." Shen Nan let out a long breath and nodded to Qi Liang.Kaka directly took out his wallet and handed it to Shen Nan. He would rather exchange all the numbers in his card for a message. The so-called end of the world is just a nightmare.

"The second is safety. The safety of the room should be strengthened as much as possible. This is the biggest barrier we have against mutant creatures. There is also Luo Ge's fighting training. Each of us becomes stronger, and the hope of surviving is Bigger." Qi Liang forced himself to calm down, thinking hard.

"The air-conditioning opening and passage opening can be blocked again with the help of Brother Zhou's sticky net." Thinking of the net that Zhou Ye stuck to the safety door, Shao Yunfan was listless, but he still opened his mouth.

"I'm going shopping with Zhang Junjiu now, and Xiao Bu and Brother Shen are going to help Brother Zhou clean up the room." Luo Zhen paused, looking at Shen Nan and Shao Yunfan, "The key to 2703 may as well be given to Brother Zhou, the positive side is better than the dark side The view and temperature are better.” As for mattresses and bedding, he naturally has a full set in his newly opened room.

Shen Nan and Shao Yunfan nodded to express their understanding.

"Kaka and Xiaofei are responsible for checking the room several times to see if there are any omissions. Qi Liang, think about it again. Are there any problems? Wang Qi, Han Zheng, and Zhou Ye are all strengthened people. I suggest finding a way to find them. Let them chat, the stronger the strength we can gather, the greater the hope of survival." Luo Zhen arranged things for everyone, not because there were really so many needs, but because being busy would help relieve them On the verge of despair.

"You believe me?" Zhang Junjiu said suddenly after following Luo Zhen down the stairs of two floors, with a warm smile still on his lips.

Luo Zhen glanced at him coldly, "I don't quite believe it."

"Then why put it down and enter the door?" Zhang Junjiu asked in surprise.

"Gamble, it's better to have multiple friends than multiple enemies at this time." If he was an ordinary person, I was absolutely sure that he could be restrained, but if he was a strengthened person, that door would not be able to stop him at all.

Zhang Junjiu smiled, "I really mean nothing."

Luo Zhen hurriedly walked and did not answer.Whether there is malice or not, there will be an answer.

"Hey, it's all gone." "Has the mouse changed its shape?"

When Luo Zhen and the others reached the seventeenth floor, the three members of the guards beside Brother Qian were standing at the door chatting, sighing and shaking their heads while chatting.

"How did the mouse change its shape?"

"Hey, all the people on the fourteenth floor died this morning." Those people recognized Luo Zhen and sighed while answering.

"The whole floor is dead?" Luo Zhen faintly felt that something was wrong.Although those mutated mice were fierce, they never attacked people on one floor.He once guessed that it should be several groups of rats.

"It is said to be dead, but it is actually missing." The man lowered his voice, as if he was terrified, "There are at least twenty or thirty people on the whole floor, all of which are gone."

"It's gone? Didn't there be any unusual noises last night?" Zhang Junjiu also leaned over.

"Who knows, these days, which night no one screams, if something really happens, probably no one will take it seriously."

"Could something new appear?" Luo Zhen frowned. Mice, cats, dogs, birds, and the mutated animals that appear now don't seem to have such a large appetite, so what could it be?

"Who knows, the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth floors are all empty now."

"Is it the same on the twelfth and thirteenth floors?"

"We don't know the previous situation. Anyway, when we were notified by the room yesterday morning, the twelfth and thirteenth floors were completely empty. But everyone on the fourteenth floor was there. This morning, my brothers and I sent the two The people who came to the conference room for the night went back and informed again according to Brother Qian's request, only to find that it was all empty."

"Brother, are you here for something? Do you want me to help?" The man looked at Luo Zhen, his eyes lit up.At this time, it is definitely not to live in a safe area. Whether it is shopping or joining the escort, as an introducer, he can benefit.

Luo Zhen nodded knowingly, "I need your help with something."

He turned around and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Junjiu, "Give me the money."

"Ah? I want it next?" Zhang Junjiu pursed his lips, and handed the wallet to Luo Zhen slowly. It was a hand-sewn wallet, a bit old-fashioned, and the gossip was embroidered with gold thread on the front.

Luo Zhen handed over 500 RMB and [-] U.S. dollars to the man, "Brother, please help me buy some biscuits and water." The guards can get a [-]% discount on shopping, and the man can get half of it for free.

"Okay! Interesting enough!" The man patted Luo Zhen on the shoulder and went in with the money.After a while, he took out a box of water and biscuits, and handed them to Luo Zhen with a smile on his face, "Come to me if you need anything."

"Thank you!" Luo Zhen scanned the contents of the box, and there were obviously more than he expected.The man waved his hand, and he became much more in vain.

"You said that everyone below the fifteenth floor has disappeared?" Qi Liang was a little stunned.Next to him, Wu Fei arranged the biscuits brought back by Luo Zhen in a row and counted them, silent.

"It is said to be so."

"No body?"

"No."

"Missing?" Qi Liang pursed his lips, "The hotel is so big, can dozens of people disappear out of thin air?" Even if they died, how could the body disappear?

"You said, will it be there?" Kaka, who was standing at the window, interrupted suddenly, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Qi Liang, Luo Zhen, and Zhang Junjiu all ran to the window, the ice surface had been melted into large and small pieces, and among the ice pieces, there were dozens of white floating corpses.
