Chapter 518 The Polluted City (12)
The sudden appearance of the big guy made quite a noise, which caused the other crazy townspeople who had already calmed down to go crazy again. They began to bang on the doors of the wards violently. Soon, most of the doors were knocked open, and the crazy villagers who were previously trapped inside also rushed out of the wards and into the corridor.
“Woo~~!!!”
But at the same time, the large amount of noise they made also attracted the attention of the big guy again. The guy was very sensitive to noisy sounds. The large amount of noise stimulated his behavior and made him crazy. In the corridor filled with smoke and noise, the big guy began to attack indiscriminately. With just a wave of his hand, the townspeople and buildings in front of him would be smashed into dust. Those crazy townspeople who were affected by his attack but not killed would fight back, but for the big guy, it was completely painless. In order to avoid being affected by the indiscriminate attack of the guy, Adenauer, the old policeman Juan, and the clerk Madison quickly hid in the nearby ward. After killing several townspeople inside, they quietly closed the door of the ward.
It didn't take long for the second floor of the entire town hospital to become a palette of hell, with broken limbs and blood and brains everywhere. Most of the townspeople who broke through the ward door and entered the corridor, or made noise, were all killed by the big guy who suddenly appeared. However, it was a bit strange that the townsman whose throat was cut and smoke was billowing out, was not affected by the indiscriminate attack, and even his position did not change. You know, when the big guy appeared, he was very close to him.
For Adenauer, or Han Zu, this situation is not uncommon. Although it is unclear why these townspeople have lost their minds and become crazy, their state is somewhat similar to the behavior of some infected people or mutants that he has encountered before. In past experiences, there are indeed some different individuals among these abnormal individuals who will actively avoid fighting with certain groups. Often, some low-level individuals will attack and devour each other, but among these relatively high-level individuals, this situation generally does not occur. So the big guy did not hurt the guy with thick smoke, which was probably intentional.
Although the old policeman Juan had never had such an experience, his decades of police career had made his eyesight very sharp. Although he was not sure whether the other party was still human, Juan still roughly understood that the two townspeople did not attack each other, which should be intentional.
Five minutes after the big guy's massacre ended, the big guy and the townspeople in the smoke calmed down again because they were no longer affected by the sound. The guy in the smoke began to wander slowly in the corridor, while the big guy stopped in place, got on all fours and fell into silence.
All the other crazy townspeople in the corridor had been dealt with by the big guy. Only some rooms with few people in them escaped because they did not have enough people and could not break down the ward doors. Now the corridor was very quiet, with no sound except for the occasional hissing sound from the throats of the townspeople covered in smoke and the wheezing of the big guy.
As long as he could remain quiet, now might be a good opportunity to move, so Adenauer quietly pushed open the door of the ward, slowly crawled out, and began to observe the situation outside.
The townsman with smoke coming out of the cut throat wandered slowly in the corridor for a while, then sat down facing a corner, leaning his head against the wall, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Although thick smoke was still billowing out of the cut in his throat from time to time, he was far away from the three people, so as long as they didn't get close to him, they wouldn't attract his attention and cause any problems.
The problem now was the big guy who was standing still. He was blocking the middle of the corridor, near the stairwell at the end. Without other townspeople, the corridor was very empty. Through the flashing emergency lights above the stairwell door near him, the big guy could be seen.
The big guy's body seemed to have obvious mutations. His entire upper body was like a huge inverted trapezoidal tumor composed of strong muscles, with more than a dozen distorted and deformed structures similar to the faces of the townspeople. His head was almost indistinguishable from a normal head except for the missing chin and the bulging blood vessels on his face. However, compared with his huge and distorted body, it was as strange as installing a doll keychain's head on a large figure.
The two arms of this big guy were very abnormal, as if they were made up of a bunch of tumors, two thick flesh pillars with no palms at the end, only two things that looked like ring-shaped clamps, or perhaps they could be called fingers. They seemed to be quite flexible. Now they were stretched out and laid flat on the ground, like bird claws. But just now, when he was indiscriminately attacking the townspeople, Adenauer saw him using those two fingers to grab other townspeople.
Compared to the exaggerated upper body, the lower body of this big guy is not so special. It is like a very strong man with a pair of disproportionately short legs. The pants he is wearing are already in tatters, but it can be seen that they should be a pair of rugby shorts. It is estimated that before becoming like this, the guy should have been an athlete or a rugby fan.
In simple terms, this guy is like a hairless silverback gorilla with tumors all over his body, except that his head is much smaller. Judging from the damage he caused to the surrounding buildings, this guy is definitely much more terrifying than a silverback gorilla.
This big guy was a big problem for the three of them. Now the only ammunition left was the three bullets in the Madison gun. They had to use them sparingly before reaching the third floor and finding other weapons. It would definitely not work to use it on the big guy. He didn't look like someone who could be killed by three .38 bullets. Although he had an obvious head, Adenauer would not take the risk to be on the safe side.
Making some noises could indeed attract the attention of the big guy again, but regardless of whether it was safe or not, even if the three of them were fine and successfully attracted the other party's attention, if the guy stopped again, if he stopped near the three of them, it would be bad. It seemed that if they wanted to reach the third floor, they had to find another route, or find a way to temporarily get rid of this big guy.
"Boom!"
When the big guy went crazy, he destroyed a lot of places and smashed the walls of some wards, revealing the town outside. The sound of heavy rain, lightning and thunder rang from time to time, but these sounds from nature did not seem to attract the attention of the townspeople. Although these sounds of nature did not attract the big guy, they attracted Adenauer's attention. Through the destroyed walls of the wards, Adenauer saw that there was a big hole in the wall of one of the wards that was smashed open, which was big enough for the big guy to fall through.
Adenauer immediately made a few gestures to Juan, pointing to a large hole not far away from which one could see the heavy rain, lightning and thunder outside. After seeing that location, combined with the gestures Adenauer gave him, Juan immediately understood what this guy was going to do. Although Adenauer was a dangerous prisoner to the old policeman Juan, his actions along the way did not seem to be in line with his original identity, so Juan, out of good intentions, advised Adenauer that doing so was not a safe approach.
But when he wanted to stop Adenauer, the other party had quietly left the ward where the three people were, and climbed into the ward facing the outer wall of the hospital through the hole in the wall caused by the previous big guy. He picked up a metal stick that was broken from somewhere on the ground, swung it twice in the air, and then smashed it hard on the medical equipment that had turned over on the ground, making a loud noise.
"Clang!!!"
"Oi!&34;
&34;Woo~~!!!!!!!!&;
The huge crashing sound and Adenauer's shouting immediately attracted the attention of the big guy. After seeing Adenauer, the twisted big guy immediately rushed towards him, but Adenauer turned his back to the big hole where he could see the outside, and did not move at all.
“Woo~~~~!!!”
Just as the big guy rushed to Adenauer and swung out his right arm, Adenauer suddenly crawled forward, protected his head with both hands, and fell directly to the ground, just passing under the big guy's crotch. The big guy was too heavy and could not stop his body. He rushed out directly from the hole in the wall and fell directly to the ground with a dull loud noise.
“Woo~~~!!!!!”
"Run the fuck away! Stop looking!!!"
However, for that big guy with thick skin and flesh, even if he fell from a height of three stories, it would not cause too much harm to him, so not long after he fell, his strange roar penetrated the heavy rain and resounded in the ears of the three people.
Adenauer shouted at the two people who were still looking at the door of the ward not far away, and then rushed to the stairwell at the end of the corridor without looking back. Juan, who had reacted, immediately pulled Madison to his feet and ran wildly in the corridor. Juan, who was originally in the front, was old after all, and was soon overtaken by Madison, who was pulling him. Although Madison was slender, she ran really fast, and he could hardly keep up with Madison's pace. Juan, who began to stagger, had to let go of Madison's hand, panting and gritting his teeth to continue running wildly. However, due to his overweight body, he fell to the ground after stepping on the blood pool on the ground. But after all, there were a lot of blood pools on the ground, so even if Juan fell to the ground, his weight allowed him to continue to slide forward along the blood pool, like a penguin moving on ice.
“Woooooooooooooooooo!!!”
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
However, the blood pool did not extend to the stairwell after all. Juan stopped less than five meters away from the stairwell. He tried to crawl over, but because his body was covered in blood, he could not stand up. The more anxious he was, the harder it was for him to stand up. At this moment, he heard a roar not far behind him and the sound of a building being penetrated. He looked back and saw the arm of the big guy sticking out of the hole in the wall with the help of the lightning. He climbed up from the ground.
Once discovered by that thing, Juan knew very well that he would become a part of the blood on his body, so he immediately used all four limbs to crawl forward, trying to rush into the stairwell door. At this time, the big guy behind him had also crawled back and was roaring and looking around for the guy who had just tricked him down. Judging from the volume of his roar, there was no doubt that anyone who was discovered by him would be torn to pieces by his rage.
With Juan's efforts, he finally climbed to the door of the stairwell, but unfortunately, the old injury on his arm suddenly relapsed. The severe pain caused his arm to become paralyzed and he had no strength at all. He stretched his arm towards the door frame, trying to grab the door frame and pull himself into the stairwell, but his fingertips were only a few centimeters away from the door frame. However, these few centimeters seemed like a chasm that was out of reach.
"boom."
"His!"
Just when Juan thought his life was about to end here, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from the darkness inside the door and slapped him on the chest. The sudden heavy blow made Juan's breathing stop for a second, but he soon found that the palm of the arm grabbed his police uniform and dragged him into the darkness behind the stairwell. Due to the excessive force, part of the fabric of his police uniform on his chest was torn.
After being dragged into the darkness, another pair of hands immediately covered Juan's mouth tightly. The owner of this hand was not the one who dragged him into the stairwell. The fingers were slender and the palm was soft. It should be a woman. When Juan looked up, he saw Madison, who was silencing him with her other hand. She was the one who covered his mouth. When he turned his eyes and looked up along the strong arm that was still on his chest, Juan saw Adenauer hiding on the side of the door frame. It was he who saved him. He was using his other hand to quietly close the door of the stairwell.
"Click."
The sound of the door lock indicated that the door of the stairwell had been closed, and the scene here was blocked by the door and the corridor outside. The big guy outside couldn't find anyone, and after causing trouble in the building for a long time, he calmed down again. As the noise on the second floor gradually quieted down, Madison finally released his right hand that was covering Juan's mouth, and Adenauer's strong arm finally moved away from Juan's chest.
"Are you OK?"
"My arm is a little cramped, but otherwise I'm fine."
"Move your ankle and see if it's sprained."
"No, everything is fine."
"You're quite a tough old fellow."
After entering the stairwell, the few of them could finally talk normally. Although they still had to lower their voices, at least there would be no errors in communication. After confirming that Juan did not have any serious injuries, the three of them rested for a while, adjusted their nervous emotions, and moved their hands and feet to avoid any problems. After they had rested enough, the three of them carefully went up the stairs to the third floor.
