Orc X Doom

Zero looked at the man who appeared suddenly. He was stubble-faced, wearing a light blue shirt and dark khaki pants. At this time, the man was also observing the two of them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Zero asked first.

"Hey, hey, hey! You have to give your own name before asking someone else's name. That's polite! Do you understand politeness?" The man seemed a little annoyed.

Colin didn't say a word, but just brought the gun closer to the man, full of threats.

"...Okay, I'm sorry, my name is Philip, and I'm a patrol guard hired by this shopping mall." The situation was stronger than others, and the man who called himself Philip had no choice but to compromise with the evil forces (?) .

"Guards?" I remember that this mall didn't open before..." Zero asked.

"Ah, because almost all the goods have arrived, in order to avoid any thieves, homeless people sneaking in, so the other party sent me to work early."

"I see." Zero nodded, and signaled Colin to put the gun away.

"So you've been hiding here alone since the outbreak of the zombie wave? Do you have any other colleagues?" Colin put away his gun, looked at Philip and asked.

"Yes, I have been hiding here for a long time. I am the only guard in the whole shopping mall... By the way, who are you? Can you tell me?"

At this time, Wen Sen heard the sound and came over: "Oh! There is someone here, who is this human friend?"

So Zero introduced Philip to Vincent, and briefly explained to Philip what happened to everyone.

"This matter has to be told to the captain." Colin said to Zero when Zero's explanation came to an end.

"Oh! Please, can't you take what you want and leave?" Philip protested with a yell.

Colin squinted at Philip: "This, we have to let our captain decide."

Vincent said: "You and Zero take Philip up to find Barry, I'm fine here alone."

Zero nodded, and Colin said to Philip, "Please, Mr. Guard."

"Don't push! I'll go by myself." Philip complained in a low voice while following the two to the fifth floor.

The 5th floor of the shopping mall is the floor where all kinds of food are placed. After everyone went upstairs, Zero found that there were no bread, fruits and vegetables on this floor, only biscuits and snacks processed into canned and compressed foods.

"It was originally expected to deliver the freshest fruits and vegetables one day before the opening, but later... Besides, even if there were, they should have rotted after more than a month." Philip curled his lips and explained.

The crowd quickly found Barry, who was squatting under the rack of meat sauce cans and was stuffing things into his backpack. Barry raised his head when he heard the sound, and was stunned when he saw the stranger: "Who is this?"

Colin told Barry about Philip and asked how to deal with Philip. Barry thought for a while.

"Philip is also a survivor, let's take him with us." Barry told everyone his decision.

"Hey, hey! Mr. Captain, don't you need to ask my opinion first?" Philip saw that the matter was about to be finalized, and he was anxious to protest.

"What? It's so comfortable here, are you reluctant to leave?" Colin teased aloud.

Philip ignored Colin's ridicule. He turned his head and stared at the empty vegetable shelf, and replied after a moment of silence.

"...It's the same everywhere, isn't it? Although I've been here all the time, I'm not an ignorant idiot. I've been watching the TV broadcasts until they were cut off, and I even sneaked out once. I've seen it from the outside, that miserable situation...is no different from the end of the world..."

Turning his head to look at the crowd, Philip continued to say to the crowd: "You have been fighting those things all the time, and you should know how strong those things are. It is almost impossible for us to fight against them with our strength, not to mention their number. so much."

Spreading the hand, Philip made a conclusion: "So I think it's useful to have food here, and it's actually quite good to spend the extra life God gave me here, right? You can leave me alone, take If you have enough of your stuff, then leave, right?"

"...Philip, don't be so desperate." After listening to Philip's words, Barry walked over, put his hands on his shoulders, and said to him seriously.

"Even if the current situation is really not optimistic, I think that as long as people live and don't give up any hope, then everything has a chance to solve the problem, isn't it? But if your footsteps stop here, then There is no future."

After a pause, Barry continued: "Besides, even if this place is really hidden and safe, no one can guarantee that one day it will be discovered by zombies, and there are other survivors and... people with evil intentions, I think If they find out here, they won't be like us...your life will be in danger then!"

Philip stared at Barry's eyes for a while, as if he was considering his proposal, then Philip sighed, and said quietly: "Has anyone ever told you that you are a good person, Captain?" gentlemen?"

Barry smiled bitterly: "Why don't you say that I am responsible and compassionate, I personally would prefer you to say that about me."

"Of course it's because I'm not praising you, Mr. Captain." Philip said angrily: "However, I admit that your words have convinced me, and I am willing to go with you, but..."

"You...will you really protect me?" Philip asked, looking at Barry.

"Oh, of course, my team and I will do our best to protect you." Barry assured with a nod.

Philip nodded and said, "Then give me a little time, I'll go and pack my luggage, and you're too quick, if it's too late..." Halfway through the sentence, Philip suddenly froze, and then he yelled: "Damn it I actually forgot!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zero and Colin were originally helping to pick up the cans, but when they heard Philip yelling, they turned around and asked.

"You must leave quickly! It will be dangerous for you to stay here when the time is up!" Philip said to Barry anxiously.

"Time? What will happen? Can you tell us in detail?" Barry asked.

"No time! Talk while walking, quickly gather your teammates, there is a fire escape ladder on the top floor, you can go all the way down from the east wall to the outside, don't leave from the first floor..."

At this time, Philip's electronic watch suddenly sounded "beep beep".

"Oh, damn it!" Philip cut off the alarm reminder on his watch, and said angrily, "It's time, it's all my fault, because those things don't usually attack me actively, and I actually forgot such an important thing ..."

"What did you say? Something will..." Barry was speaking halfway, when he suddenly thought of something, and then activated his ability to explore the entire shopping mall.

"Oh! Captain! Please don't do this!" Philip wanted to stop Barry, but it was too late.

Suddenly there was a sharp and reverberating howling sound, and the sound echoed in all directions like an echo. Everyone felt uncomfortable and covered their ears one after another.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Barry screamed and covered his ears and rolled on the ground, blood oozing from his ears.

"Captain!!!" Zero shouted loudly, but the whistling continued.

Fortunately, the howling sound only lasted for about 10 seconds and then stopped. After hearing the howling sound, everyone quickly put down their covered hands to check on Barry's injury.

"Barry passed out." Colin rolled Barry's eyelids, and briefly checked Barry's injuries: "The ear seems to be injured too, let's go to Vincent to see."

Zero nodded, asking Steve, Ann and Philip to take care of Barry, and then quickly rushed to the stairs on the fourth floor.

"Be careful, "she" is very dangerous, tell your companions to come up, let's go out from the escape ladder! Philip shouted to the two departing.
