Screaming Cycle

Chapter 15: Lost City of Ashes-15

The door panel of the passage is a very thick fire-proof door, and most people cannot break through it at all.

But Brother Jie didn't plan to let them go just like that.

Across the door panel, Ji Shu and others could hear the other side kicking and kicking while scolding them, and they have a strong momentum to never give up if they don't break them into pieces.

Mo Tiangen looked around, trying to find something to block the door, but unfortunately the management of this Wal-Mart is so good, let alone debris in the stairwell, there is no trash can.

Teacher Dagen turned around decisively, separated the two people who were still hugging each other, pushing and pulling them to signal them not to waste time, and it was important to run quickly.

So the three went straight downstairs and went straight to the underground parking lot on the second floor.

Most of the parking spaces in the huge parking lot were vacant, and only a dozen cars were parked sporadically, all doors and windows were locked, and the door could not be opened at all, and they didn't have the key, so even if they broke in, they couldn't start the car.

Fortunately, they found a small truck near the freight elevator.

The small truck seemed to be loading and unloading. The rear door was just concealed. There were a few boxes piled up in front of it. The door of the driver's seat was not locked, and the key was hung on a small hook on the driver's seat.

Mo Tiangen and Ji Tuan were very surprised, and quickly dragged Ren Jianmo to climb up.

As the only person in the trio who seemed to be able to drive, Mr. Dagen sat down in the driver's seat unwillingly, took off the key and pressed down the automatic ignition device.

However, the truck did not respond.

Mo Tiangen cursed dumbly: "Fuck!"

Then he turned back and said to Ji Yu: "The battery in the car is gone!"

He was so angry, how could there be such a weird thing-is there someone who got out of the car without locking the door and taking the key, but pulled the battery! ?

Ji Shu briefly froze for two seconds.

His first reaction was to simply take a battery from another car, but when he looked around, he quickly found another better solution.

"Look over there!"

Ji Lu pointed towards the corner of the parking lot and shouted, "There is a battery station!"

More than half of the cars on the road nowadays don't burn gasoline, but use electricity instead, and the car batteries are also divided into several universal models according to the model.

When the car is running out of power outside, if you have enough time, you can plug in the charging pile and spend ten to twenty minutes to recharge it. If you are in a hurry to continue on the road, you can buy a recyclable rechargeable battery at the battery station and replace it. You can continue to drive.

Ji Tuan jumped out of the car first and ran straight to the battery station.

The battery station looks like a vending machine.

Ji Xiaoniao glanced at the panel quickly, and saw that a prominent place was stuck with a red label on a blue background, with the words "please insert a coin" printed on it, followed by a rightward arrow pointing to a coin insert. Hole, the bottom of the label is also printed with a gold coin pattern.

He opened his eyes.

Because the pattern on the gold coin printed on the label is a peach blossom, exactly the same as the gold coin he picked up at the supermarket door.

He reached for his pocket.

Unexpectedly, after a fight just now, the gold coin hadn't fallen out, and it was lying in his pocket right now.

Ji Shu took out the gold coin, not wanting to put it directly into the coin slot, and then pressed the battery sales button "for minivans and buses" below.

Just hearing a "click", the flap of the shipping port opened, and something rolled down.

Ji Tuan quickly bent over to pick it up.

"what?"

He blinked, completely at a loss.

The thing in his hand, a piece of a flat tablet, about the size of a business card case, doesn't look like a car battery, but more like a power bank.

"Student Ji Xiaoniao, I said you are stupid!"

Mr. Dagen, who was a step slower than Ji Tuan, came to this conclusion with a dumb voice after watching the kid cast a power bank.

He stopped talking nonsense, pushed him aside, picked up the fire extinguisher on the side, and directly smashed the glass of the cabinet wall of the battery station, and took out two brand new batteries from the inside.

They returned to the truck.

Mo Tiangen had just installed the new battery. He turned his head abruptly, and saw that Jie rushed out of the stairs with a fire axe in his hand, looked around, and quickly noticed them with a grin. , Raised the axe and ran towards them.

"Fuck!"

Teacher Dagen's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the driver's seat.

He trembled and started the car, yelled "Sit down!", and stepped on the accelerator to the end, driving the truck out of the effect of Formula 4, drifting around a corner, hitting dozens of ice cream cones, and then breaking. The exit gear rod rushed out of Wal-Mart's parking lot.

&&&&&&&&&

After leaving Wal-Mart, the sky outside was almost completely dark.

But the strange thing is that the red clouds in the sky that are like the afterglow of the sunset have never faded, which makes the street look so dark.

Mo Tiangen didn't dare to drive the lights casually, for fear of attracting some light-tending things and causing them trouble, so he could only drive the car not much faster than walking, and move slowly and little by little on the road.

Naturally, driving this way will not drive far.

After discussion, everyone decided to settle down in an express hotel a street away.

They felt that even if Jie wanted to kill them, he would definitely not dare to wander around in the dark city at night, and the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Jie would never think that they would dare to hide in Wal-Mart. nearby.

As long as they survive tonight, and when the day breaks tomorrow morning, they will hurry on the road and leave the city, and everything will be fine.

As for the rut marks on the road from the parking lot to the Express Hotel, the ashes that keep falling from the sky will take care of them for them.

After about ten minutes, the car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the Express Hotel.

They parked the car and went upstairs in the dark with only the light from the flashlight.

"Hey."

As he climbed the stairs, Ji Xuan thought of one thing: "You said, are there such little red lizards here too?"

Mo Tiangen also felt that this problem was terrible.

Just less than half an hour ago, he watched that the office worker was bitten by a lizard on his neck, and then his flesh and blood melted away, leaving only a white bone in his body-Teacher Dagen didn't want any of them to repeat the same mistakes and die so terribly. Worry again.

"this…"

He thought for a while, "Let's find a smaller room, and then empty out all the furniture in it, and then plug all the cracks in the door."

Ji Lu also thinks this approach is feasible.

Although it is uncomfortable to sleep on hard floors for a night, at least life can be guaranteed.

When they were speaking, they had come to the lobby on the first floor.

"Look!"

Ji Yu grabbed Ren Jianmo, patted Mo Tiangen on the shoulder, raised his phone and shook it to the right corridor, "There are a few shops there."

In the fight with Jie Ge just now, they had lost the mountaineering bag together with the supplies inside. Except for Ji Xuan carrying his precious bow bag, the three of them could be said to have empty hands and two sleeves.

Mo Tiangen smiled suddenly, flexing his hands.

"The thing your big brother likes most is to clean up the store."

After speaking, he smashed open the glass door of the convenience store.

Ji Lu was astonished at Teacher Mo's unscrupulous practice like a devil entering the village, and he liked to hear about it, and hurriedly followed.

Now that the lighting is insufficient, and for fear of encountering lizards, they are more careful than when they came back.

Ji Tuan installed some food, water and daily necessities, and felt that it was almost done. Looking back, he saw that Mo Tiangen was standing in front of a local specialty product shelf and removed two bottles of wine.

"Hey!"

He murmured silently: "When is this, your old man is still in the mood to drink?"

Teacher Dagen did not answer, but quickly tucked two bottles of wine into the bag.

After cleaning up the supermarket, Ji Lu and others went up to the second floor, found a single room at the end of the corridor, and decided to spend the night here tonight.

"Don't be busy."

Seeing Ji Tuan opened the door to clean the room, Mo Tiangen reached out and stopped him.

"Let's try this thing first."

As he said, he smiled and took out the two bottles of wine he had just brought in from his bag.

Ji Tuan held up his mobile phone and leaned over to take a look, and found that the label of the bottle read "Pogen Realgar Wine".

Ji Xiaoniao: "???"

"Idiot, sports children are not good at cultural knowledge!"

Teacher Dagen showed an expression of hating iron and steel, "Do you know the Dragon Boat Festival? Ancient people used to burn wormwood and drink realgar wine to avoid the five poisons on this day. You should know this!"

"..."

Ji, a sports student, uneducated, who was inexplicably shot by a map: "So what?"

"So, the gecko is also among the five poisons!"

Teacher Mo continued to explain: "The lizards are similar to geckos. They are all reptiles anyway, so they should be afraid of realgar too!"

Ji Lu was very suspicious: "Really?"

"Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, it doesn't hurt to try!"

Teacher Mo shrugged, and like a trick he took out an aromatherapy burner, a few small candles and a lighter from his bag. These were just what he took in the souvenir cabinet in the supermarket just now, and then he squatted down on the corridor. A simple fumigator was assembled, filled with realgar wine, and then carefully pushed into the room.

Before long, the realgar wine on the flame began to boil, emitting a strong smell of alcohol and realgar, and quickly overshadowing the faint sulphur smell that has been permeating the room.

They waited for a while.

Suddenly, a red light flashed in the aperture reflected by Ji Shu's mobile phone flashlight-it was a small lizard, which emerged from behind the small closet by the door, twisting his body to escape the door.

Ji Xuan quickly picked up a bottle of mineral water and smashed it on the ground, hitting the target, and smashing it into flesh on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the second little lizard crawled out along the door frame.

Mo Tiangen immediately ended his weak, pitiful and helpless life with a plastic slippers.

In this way, they steamed out three lizards from the room.

After waiting another quarter of an hour, until the realgar wine on the fumigator dries up, and the realgar smell in the room is so strong that people can hardly stand it, the few people finally feel relieved.

"Look!"

Mo Tiangen proudly lifted his chin toward Ji Shu.

His voice was still a little dumb, but his tone was triumphant, "I'll just say that this method will work!"

Ji Yuan said in an emotionally perfunctory way: "Yes, yes, you can do it, brother Dagen, you are so good!"

Afterwards, Ji Shu and Mo Tiangen began to move the furniture in the room.

They didn't plan to let Ren Jian stay silent for this kind of heavy physical work.

After all, just looking at Ren Dameiren's white and miserable face, and the appearance of coughing almost out of breath after running a few steps, it is estimated that moving a cabinet can directly collapse on the ground.

There were not a few things in the room of this cheap and fast hotel. The two of them were busy working for a while, and quickly emptied the whole room completely.

They returned to the empty room, closed the doors and windows, and sealed some small gaps with tape to prevent lizards from sneaking in in the middle of the night before they finally felt they could breathe.

It's just that Ji Shu and the others don't know yet, they feel a little too early to feel relieved.

Because the most dangerous long night in this city has just begun at this moment.
