Chapter 36

While outside, Mikael observed that the building where humans were hiding was nearly forty stories high. Although it was not comparable to the buildings on Luluye Island, it did stand out among the three abandoned blocks. Feel.

In this way, the nickname "Tower" is quite worthy of its name.

There seemed to have been a battle on the first floor, with rubble and broken furniture everywhere. The ceiling collapsed diagonally, forming a passage to the second floor.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, most people did not rush back to a higher floor. Instead, after unloading in one breath, they slowly slumped down on the first floor.

Harris climbed up to the second floor with Aldemir's help, took Mikael and Sakura through the maze-like floors, and finally stopped in front of an old elevator.

Seemingly knowing Mikael's question, Harris answered first: "We found a small human-powered generator, but the power is basically only enough for the elevator. There is no way, the survivors basically live in higher buildings, and We lack food, lack of strength, and there is no elevator. It is really difficult to climb to the 30th floor by ourselves. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the button beside the elevator lit up, and at the same time, a "buzzing" roar began to emit from the hollow tunnel.

"It takes time for the elevator to start. You have to wait a while."

Taking advantage of this time, Mikael looked around. The corridor was filled with the smell of corpses. If he listened carefully, he could hear unconscious roars, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"How many of you are there in total?"

Harris replied without looking back: "You should ask: How many of you are left? A month ago, nearly a thousand people were accommodated here, but now... the ones who can move have been seen before, and some of them have disappeared." If you can’t do anything, the total should be just over a hundred.”

Mikael took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he was too panicked to spit out the words.

However, Sakura was more innocent. She covered her nose and asked bluntly: "What about those corpses? Are they all placed in these rooms?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mikael, Harris, and Aldemir all looking at her.

"What's wrong?" She felt that what she said was indeed a bit blunt, but it didn't seem wrong.

"You really want to know?"

Mikael raised an eyebrow.

Young Aldemir spread his hands.

Harris put on a smile that was uglier than crying, "Then I'll take you to see it."

The tower is a standard honeycomb apartment. There are about twenty large and small rooms on one floor, and they found one at random.

Turning the door handle and pushing open a small crack, the strong smell of blood and corpses coming from the pavement almost made Sakura faint. Even Mikael silently covered his mouth and nose, but Harris and Aldemir seemed to I have been used to it for a long time, but there is no fluctuation at all.

Open the door completely, and in the darkness, you can clearly hear the sounds of teeth grinding, chewing, and swallowing.

"Gulu..."

Mikael and Sakura swallowed together.

Sakura turned on the bright flashlight, leaving a bright circle on the ground.

The circle swam toward the sound, and then three silhouettes squatting together on the ground appeared.

As if feeling the long-lost light, the figure in the middle suddenly turned around. Sakura screamed, trembled all over, and the flashlight fell to the ground.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Mikael quickly closed the door, leaving only the flashlight in the room. Even though he was well-informed, his heartbeat could not be suppressed, his hands and feet were sweating, and his mouth was dry.

The one who turned around under the pale light was a dead soldier. Its face was half sickly pale, half rigidly black, and covered with purple lines. Its eyes had no distinction between whites and pupils, only bottomless darkness. The corners of its mouth were cracked, and it was chewing bloody pieces of meat obliviously. The broken teeth were covered with debris and meat foam, and these things continued to fall along the corners of the mouth as it bit.

Surrounded by three dead soldiers, there was a corpse that could barely discern a human form.

Aldemir locked the door expressionlessly, obviously looking like he was used to such scenes.

But Mikael clearly noticed that his fingers were shaking when he turned the key.

Sure enough, even if you have seen such a terrifying scene a thousand times, you still cannot be truly indifferent.

"Captive dead soldiers! You... what are you doing!"

Sakura glared at Harris.

Harris sneered, and his left hand tremblingly stretched out from under his coat, which caused Sakura to silently take a half step back, lowering her center of gravity, raising her hand slightly, ready to reach for the pistol on her waist at any time - being so frightened, She had no sympathy for the survivors, and felt that those standing in front of her were demons.

"Sakura, calm down."

Mikael quickly held her shoulders and pulled her back.

Harris slowly raised his one arm, and such a movement caused the coat he was wearing to fall off, revealing a dirty shirt underneath. The length of the shirt is slightly shorter. It can be seen that its size is smaller than Harris's body. However, the shirt seems slightly wider at this time. As the breeze blows in the corridor, it sticks tightly to Harry. On Si's body, there were traces of raised ribs.

His fingers were intertwined and shaking violently, like a woodpecker that had been working.

He took off the sunglasses on his face. There was nothing in the frame of his left eye, and there was even dried blood around his eye socket.

His remaining right eye also narrowed, staring at Sakura until the hair on her body stood on end.

After a while, he grinned, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow shrunken teeth.

"Perhaps in your opinion, this is enough to be one of the evidences for my trial, but what can we do? We are afraid of being discovered by the people in the city hall. We dare not act during the day, and we dare not act at night because of those monsters. There is no medicine, no food, no hope... More and more people died, and we could not bury them. At first, we simply placed them in the corridor. As a result, that night, the bodies turned into dead soldiers and killed more people..."

"Later, we threw all the bodies into the house and locked the doors and windows... Not all bodies will become dead soldiers, and the bodies that do not become dead soldiers often become their food..."

Sakura's hand slowly dropped.

"It's not that we haven't thought of ways, such as dismembering the dead bodies. This method is the simplest and most effective. The dismembered bodies have other uses, but unfortunately, we lack the conditions for cooking..."

Harris suddenly spit out this sentence expressionlessly.

Sakura swallowed the non-existent saliva, and suddenly her chest moved, and she almost vomited.

"But we couldn't do it in the end... After all, we were all together day and night... And no one would be willing to do it when they thought that they would be treated like this after they died." Aldemir added hurriedly.

"Ding!" A prompt sound came from the elevator not far away. Harris put on his sunglasses again, ignored his fallen coat, turned his head, and walked towards the elevator.

Mikael frowned, one hand on his waist, the other hand hanging empty, and followed behind.

It was not until the four of them entered the elevator, the door slowly closed, and the elevator began to rise at a snail's pace that Mikael asked knowingly:

"So, what happened between you and the City Hall? Why did you hide from them, for fear of being discovered? If they find you, it's better to send you to the hospital for good treatment than to wait for death here."

"That's because you don't know the fate of those who are sick." Harris said coldly: "There are tens of thousands of people in our three blocks together. Due to the appearance of monsters, most people listened to the words of the City Hall, left their homes, and were taken away by them for isolation. Then the Honkai disease broke out, and more and more people were infected. At first, they pretended to do some treatment, such as amputation."

He shrugged his right shoulder, "I was amputated before the purple lines crawled all over my right arm, but this is not It does not affect me from being infected again now. "

"But later, the mortality rate became higher and higher, the time from infection to death became shorter and shorter, and people became more and more panicked. Until one day, a doctor left his manual in the quarantine area. "

Harris took a deep breath, as if suppressing great anger and unwillingness, "It turns out that this disease called Honkai disease has long had a cure - it is a serum. The principle of the serum is also very simple: most Honkai disease patients will have a small amount of antibodies in their bodies after death. As long as enough antibodies are extracted, a serum that can cure a patient can be obtained. "

Ying Tan opened his mouth slightly, as if he realized something, and asked hurriedly: "How many people's antibodies are needed to synthesize a tube of serum?"

Harris glanced at her, and the only remaining left hand stretched out the index finger.

"One... ten?" Ying boldly guessed.

"No, one thousand."

Sorry, it's my fault, this plot is too watery

I deeply realized my mistake and repented for it
