I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 44: Dead Silence Building

Qin Zhong returned to the living room, looked at the woman and shook his head. He wanted to ignore her, but deep down he felt a little reluctant.

With a sigh, Qin Zhong turned around and opened the security door. The doors of the two households opposite were closed. He went up to the third floor and saw that one of the three households had its door half open. After opening the door, he coughed slightly.

"Uh uh..."

Following a few shrill roars, two zombies rushed out of the room. Qin Zhong did not hesitate and killed them one by one with a single knife.

Qin Zhong checked that there were no more zombies in the house, then went downstairs to the woman's house, half dragged and half carried the woman to the house on the third floor.

Changing the environment would be better for her. After all, looking at the husband she killed every day would drive even a normal person crazy.

Moreover, Qin Zhong just saw that there was still a lot of rice and noodles in this family’s kitchen. In such a doomsday, it is better to survive and live one day at a time.

I glanced at the woman and saw her sitting on the sofa with a dazed expression on her face and her eyes staring straight ahead, just sitting there talking to herself.

Without paying any more attention to the woman, Qin Zhong walked around the room, staring blankly at the Hang Lung Building across the street through the window, wondering how to get there.

Just as Qin Zhong was looking around, he suddenly saw a thick rope slanting down from the rooftop of his building and extending into a window on the tenth floor of the Hang Lung Building.

Qin Zhong couldn't help but feel moved. Who tied this rope?

Then, Qin Zhong guessed that it must have been done by one of the survivors. Although he didn't know why, it made things convenient for him.

At this time, he was very worried that Xiao Yingyong would get into danger in the Hang Lung Building. Without thinking too much, he looked at the woman and said, "I can only help you here."

At that moment, without caring whether the woman could understand or not, he walked out of the room, closed the security door for her, and then went straight to the rooftop.

On the side wall of the rooftop, a rope was tied tightly to the iron railing. Qin Zhong pulled hard and found that it was tied firmly on the other side. Although he considered himself to be quite brave, he still felt a little scared when he slid down the rope to the other side.

The rooftop here is fifteen stories high and drops sharply to the tenth floor of the Hang Lung Building. If you let go in mid-air, falling from such a high place onto the water would be no different from falling straight onto the concrete road.

To be honest, if there was no reason to go to the Hang Lung Building, Qin Zhong probably wouldn't take the risk. After all, in the end times, going to such an unfamiliar place means huge unknown risks.

However, Qin Zhong also had a motivation in his heart that drove him to come here, that is, although Xiao Yingyong was young, he was a very good partner, and in the end times, it was not easy to find a trustworthy partner.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong felt a pain in his heart. He still couldn't let go of Yang Xin's betrayal.

The rope was lowered into the window, which turned out to be an office. One end of the thick rope was tied to a large boss's desk. Half a year had passed since the disaster, and a layer of dust, neither thick nor thin, had accumulated on the floor.

After landing, Qin Zhong reorganized his equipment, took off the crossbow on his back and held it in his hand, then slowly opened the door a crack. Opposite the door was a staircase, deep and dark. He opened the door another foot and stuck his head out to look around.

Outside the door was a long, dark corridor with offices facing each other on both sides. There was no light in the corridor at this moment, only the ventilation windows at both ends and some offices with open doors allowed light to shine into the corridor.

At this moment, the corridor was dead silent. Qin Zhong could even hear his own slight breathing. Seeing that there was no movement outside, he turned on his headlamp. The light instantly illuminated the surroundings, and he walked in one direction on the dark green carpet.

Qin Zhong walked while knocking gently on the door of each room, calling Xiao Yingyong's name, knocking as he walked. Soon, he arrived at another staircase at the end of the corridor.

Looking at the stairs in front of him, Qin Zhong knew that Xiao Yingyong was probably not on this floor. Should he search up or down?

……

After just a moment's consideration, Qin Zhong decided to go upstairs. After all, Sun Xiaoyan had also told him to go to the Wanhai Technology New Drug Laboratory on the 21st floor and look for the hard drive that contained the new drug formula.

Moreover, the woman he met on the mall platform never said on which floor she saw the five-pointed star, but Qin Zhong guessed that it should not be on a lower floor.

After all, in the apocalypse, the lower the floor, the more zombies there are. If you are a survivor, you should start from the top floor and clear the zombies downwards, trying to recapture the entire building step by step.

Although his ideas may not apply to everyone, Qin Zhong feels that most people should think and act this way.

He went up the stairs. The corridor here was almost the same as the one downstairs. Qin Zhong knocked gently on the door of the office next to him. Most of the rooms were dead silent. Occasionally, the howling of zombies could be heard in one or two rooms.

Qin Zhong knocked as he walked. After a few howls of zombies, it was eerily quiet again. Most of the people in the Hang Lung Building were evacuated when the zombie incident occurred, so there were so few zombies.

Frightened by the dead silence, Qin Zhong didn't dare to breathe, and kept his mind tense so that he could deal with any emergency at any time.

After all, the woman said before that there were mysterious zombies and mutated animals in this building. Although many days have passed, who knows if they are still here!

In this way, they searched one floor after another. When they reached the fifteenth floor, Qin Zhong began to pant. Part of it was because he was tired, but most of it was because he was too nervous, so he felt exhausted both mentally and physically.

In the stairwell, Qin Zhong put his hands on his knees, breathing slightly. Although searching up floor by floor like this was very time-consuming, there was no other way.

"Ta Tata..."

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the stairs above. Qin Zhong quickly hid in the corridor and saw a group of zombies staggering down, going down to the corner platform, and then turning around and going upstairs unconsciously.

The light in the corridor was getting dimmer and dimmer. Qin Zhong looked out through the glass and saw that it was already dark outside. So he walked into an office, ate something casually, and went upstairs again.

The whole building was already gloomy, and at night, there was an icy chill lingering in the air, making it feel like a real haunted building.

Qin went up to another floor, opened the fire door and walked out when three zombies suddenly appeared from the corridor on the left. When they saw the living people, they stumbled and rushed towards him fiercely like flies seeing blood.

Dealing with three zombies was not a big problem for Qin Zhong now. He quickly raised his hand and killed one with a steel ball, then drew out his Miao Dao and stabbed the other two.

The sixteenth floor seemed to be a relatively large office area, much more spacious than ordinary floors. Qin Zhong walked along and killed four or five zombies.

Walking along the corridor, Qin Zhong saw five service halls marked on one side. Only then did he realize that these were the Human Resources and Social Security Service Halls.

The handles of the first two doors were locked with U-shaped locks from the outside. The glass doors of the third and fourth rooms were open, and there was no one inside. Qin Zhong was about to move forward when he suddenly stopped and listened.
