"ah!"
In the previously silent apartment building, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded, followed by a burst of frightened screams.
People walking in front of the team were startled when they heard the harsh screams coming from behind, and they all turned their heads and looked behind them.
"I'll go! What's going on!" Turning his head, Brian looked at the scene behind him, and his mouth suddenly opened wide with a shocked expression.
I saw that the entire passage behind me had collapsed, raising dust all over the sky. All the people at the back of the fallen team had disappeared. Only a few people were slumped on the ground, looking at the front in horror. of pit.
When Brian saw this, he immediately turned around, carefully moved back, walked to the edge of the pit, stretched his neck and looked down.
The most eye-catching thing that caught my eye was a man whose abdomen was penetrated by a steel bar protruding from the wall. Blood continued to flow from the wound where he was penetrated. The severe pain made the man wail in pain, and the helpless steel bar He struggled up and down, but the more he struggled, the more his body continued to fall downwards, and the more it caused him great pain.
There were three other cases like his, but their conditions were better than those of the men, except that their hands and feet were penetrated.
Others may have their lower bodies pressed down by boulders, struck by sharp protruding horns on certain parts of their bodies, or their heads hit an object and fell unconscious. There are all kinds of situations.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the people under the pit, as well as the screams and wails they kept making, Brian's eyes did not waver at all. Instead, he frowned slightly. The noise these people made was really too much. Big.
Suddenly, his eyes seemed to be glancing at something unintentionally, his pupils shrank suddenly, he took a few steps back, and quickly covered his mouth and nose.
"What's the matter!"
At this time, Tracy led a dozen soldiers and rushed over from the front of the team. When she saw the situation under the pit, she turned around and said to those behind her: "Hurry up and save people! "
Brian, who was standing aside and covering his mouth and nose, heard Tracy's words and quickly shouted: "Don't go down!"
"who!"
After hearing this shout, the soldiers who were about to move were all stunned. They turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a boy of ten or three years old. One of the soldiers was dissatisfied. Said: "What are you saying, little kid? Leave quickly, don't stay here..."
"etc!"
But before the soldier could finish speaking, Tracy, who saw Brian's face clearly, immediately reached out and interrupted him, then quickly walked up to him and asked, "Why?"
Although she didn't know why Brian was here and stopped them from going to rescue people, she knew that the other party would never say such things without any reason.
㱗The dozen or so soldiers behind Tracy all looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand why the captain would ask a child so seriously why he didn't go to save others. This made them feel very surprised.
"There are bacteria formed from the corpses of infected people inside!" When Tracy walked up to him, Brian pointed to a corner in the pit and saw a group of red lumps of bacteria there, clinging to it. On the wall.
He had seen this thing in a basement when he was in Austin. He didn't understand why the air in that basement was yellow-green, but out of caution, he did not choose to enter the basement. .
But ever since he read the leaflet about Cordyceps fungus, Brian completely understood that those red lumps of bacteria were formed after the infected person was killed and the Cordyceps fungus in the body absorbed nutrients from the corpse. , and those yellow-green gases are spores spit out by these bacteria. As long as these spores are inhaled into the body, you will be infected by the Cordyceps virus.
After hearing this, both the soldiers and the other survivors standing nearby looked down the pit, and sure enough, in a corner, they saw the condensed red bacteria.
Everyone's expressions changed immediately. They subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and all stepped back, not daring to come any closer.
"Please! Help me!"
"Help—!"
"We are not infected! Don't give up on us!"
"...."
In the pit, there were a few survivors who were lucky enough not to be injured. They were standing on the gravel. Originally, they looked happy when they saw the soldiers above coming down to rescue them.
But when they saw the infected bacteria mentioned by the child just now, their eyes were full of panic and fear. They looked at the people above who were retreating a little bit, and they quickly leaned on the edge of the pit and looked up begging. The crowd kept pleading!
"Captain, please help me!"

At this moment, the young soldier knelt down on the ground and looked at Tracy at the front with pleading eyes. He didn't want to die. He was still so young. He wanted to die like this!
Tracy stood in a daze, looking at the painful faces below and the begging faces of the soldiers. She clenched her hands unconsciously and slowly closed her eyes. Her face was full of words. Can't bear it.
But it was impossible for her to risk other people's lives in order to rescue these people. She just calmed herself down, turned around sharply, and said in one word: "Let's go!"
Brian looked at Tracy's order and opened his mouth slightly, with disapproval written all over his face. It seemed to him that the other party was a bit rude. They had to know that they still had a long way to go. Although this trap was It's deep, but as long as they take some time, the people below can still find a way to climb up. Now that they have abandoned these people, no one knows what extreme behavior they will do after they come out.
For these people who have been infected by Cordyceps fungus and are very likely to become variables, according to his idea, the best choice should actually be to shoot all the people below with a silencer rifle.
Thinking of this, Brian suddenly felt excited. He was shocked to find that he actually had such thoughts. At this time, he was shocked to realize that he seemed to be getting more and more adapted to this world, and he was becoming more and more... cold-blooded. .
After listening to Tracy's order, both the soldiers and the survivors breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that the other party would be soft-hearted and let them go down to rescue people. At that time, some things would not be easy to say.
Then the crowd immediately turned around and left. Everyone covered their mouths and noses, but they didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Damn it! You will be punished!"
"This will not end well for you!"
"..."
Seeing that the people above had given up rescuing them, the expressions of the survivors below the pit that had been sad and begging just now suddenly changed. They all became ferocious and resentful, staring at the backs of the leaving crowd and talking incessantly. of cursing.
"Since you won't let me live! Then I'll let you die too!"
At this moment, the soldier who had been kneeling on the ground and begging suddenly stood up from the ground, suddenly picked up the rifle in his hand, pointed it at the back of the leaving crowd, and started shooting desperately.
"Da da da--!"
Mi's bullets were fired at the crowd who were several meters away. A survivor who was walking at the back of the team was shot in the back of the head. He fell to the ground before he even had time to hurt himself. He died on the spot.
"Oh! Damn it!"
The crowd heard the gunshots coming from behind, turned around and found a man who had been shot to the ground, running forward with sharp teeth, rolling and crawling.
Brian, who was also at the back of the team, was almost hit by the bullet, but he reacted very quickly and climbed down immediately. He looked at the bullet hole above his head, and even he didn't notice it in his eyes. His stern look seemed like something in his brain was shattered with this bullet.
"Get up! Let's go!" But before he had time to think more, he was helped up by Tracy and moved forward together.
"ah!"
In the pit, due to the angle and the team gradually moving away, the bullets could no longer hit the crowd. The young soldier slammed the rifle on the ground and let out an unwilling roar!
He began to plan the route to climb up. He was a trained soldier, and his physical fitness was completely different from that of the civilians here. He would definitely be able to escape from here, but at this moment, he suddenly saw something not far away. There, there was a fat man with a full beard whose feet were crushed by gravel and shouted for help.
As soon as he saw the fat man, the soldier's eyes were fixed on him. He still remembered the situation just now, because the fat man blocked the way forward of the team and hit the ground hard. Only these people will fall off.
With bone-gnawing hatred flashing in his eyes, he slowly took out the dagger from his waist and walked towards the fat man step by step.
The remaining survivors also noticed the soldier's movements and moved in the direction of his movement, catching a glimpse of the fat man. They obviously still remembered that they fell because of the above, and they all walked towards the fat man with red eyes.
"You...what are you going to do!"
The fat man had just woken up from the coma and felt that his legs were being pressed. He quickly called for help from the people around him, but what he didn't expect to see was that everyone was coming towards him, looking at those pairs of hateful eyes. He said with a trembling voice, while his body continued to struggle, trying to escape.
But no one answered his question. Everyone looked at the struggling fat man coldly, took out the weapons they picked up, and rushed towards him.
After a while, the fat man's shrill screams resounded throughout the entire apartment building. The deep fear and despair in it made everyone who heard it shudder.
