Chapter 412: Mutation - Loneliness 21
Fortunately, the bank door was open and they ran in smoothly. Dong Liniu found the U-shaped lock from behind the security counter and locked it on the door handle with a click.
"Hurry up and find something to block the door!"
The three of them immediately split up.
Liu Shen pulled the office chair over, and the stainless steel legs made a sharp and harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground, but he couldn't care less at the moment. The heavier the thing blocking the door, the better.
Chang Tianhua brought an office desk and chair and placed them behind the door.
Dong Liniu found a remote control and pressed the up and down buttons randomly. Suddenly, a creaking sound of iron sheets rolling was heard above the floor-to-ceiling window.
"What's that noise?" Chang Tianhua leaned over the glass and looked up. "What did you press just now? Press it again!"
Dong Liniu waved the remote control, "This is it. Which button should I press? Up or down?"
"Down!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Liniu pressed the down key frantically.
With a series of rusty clicks, the rolling door slowly dropped down, and the hall became darker and darker.
Chang Tianhua felt relieved. "Okay, okay, it's safe now. Now we just need to block the door."
However, after all, it has been a long time, and it stops at halfway point.
After that, no matter how hard Dong Liniu pressed the remote control, there was no response.
Through the lower half of the glass window, you can see that the army of skeletons outside has appeared at the end of the road, and you can tell at a glance that they are coming here.
"Block the glass! They have no intelligence and they definitely don't know how to squat!"
After Chang Tianhua shouted loudly, he was the first to open the display cabinet with the orders and squeezed behind the glass window.
Seeing this, Dong Liniu and Liu Shen rushed to help.
After all the movable objects in the hall were moved over, they were exhausted and panting. They looked down through the legs of the table and saw that the skeleton army had arrived outside the security door.
Pairs of white bony leg bones occupied all sight.
"They came too fast, didn't they? Are you sure they walked over here, not swam over?" Liu Shen's pupils trembled.
But who can know?
They didn't hear any footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp "creaking" sound came from the rolling door. It should be the skeleton man scratching the door outside.
The sound of metal being scraped by sharp objects is so painful that it makes your teeth ache.
At the same time, the iron sheet was squeezed by them and made a clanging sound.
Without this layer of protection, they don’t know if the glass door can withstand it!
Chang Tianhua considered whether to go further inside, preferably hiding in the work area.
Turning his eyes, he saw a lot of clothes scattered on the ground. With a give it a try attitude, he called Dong Liniu to look for the key.
As for Liu Shen, he was responsible for keeping an eye on the group of skeletons outside to prevent anyone from knowing if a crack appeared.
Rushing to the entrance with a bunch of keys, Chang Tianhua tried to open the locks one by one.
Liu Shen suddenly shouted, "Come and see! There seems to be something wrong with this skeleton!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them ran as fast as they could, squeezed beside Liu Shen on the left and right, squatted down and looked in the direction of his finger.
"Which one?"
"That! It's the skeleton with the short legs!"
Chang Tianhua saw the one Liu Shen was talking about at a glance. There was only a skeleton standing not far away, and its body was twisting slightly as if twitching.
He looked carefully and saw that the white bones were covered with a layer of light red every second, but disappeared the next second.
"What's going on? Could it be the Skeleton King?"
He squeezed between the legs of the table and leaned over the glass, staring intently.
The skeleton raised its hand with a click, and when the palm was facing him, he suddenly found that the red layer was actually a thin layer of flesh and blood!
And it didn't disappear, it was melted by the sea water!
Chang Tianhua slowly turned his head and looked at the piles of clothes scattered in the hall.
"Oh my god... so that's how it is..."
He felt a little scared, fortunately the sea water did not corrode him!
Dong Liniu and Liu Shen came up quickly and asked, "Captain, what did you find?"
Chang Tianhua tried his best to explain it in one sentence. The three of them looked at each other silently for nearly a minute, and then uttered four words - "We are so lucky..."
After sighing, they quickly checked the keys and hid in the work area.
The seabed soon became so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. They could only judge from the sound whether the skeletons had broken through the glass door.
The three of them hid in different places, their eyes wide open, their ears pricked up, not daring to sleep at all, counting the time every minute and praying that the day would come soon.
Anjiu in Luojuli had a good sleep.
She was in high spirits, holding a large pile of candles and lighting them one by one in the dark corridor.
When she passed by the clan leader's wife's house, she opened the door and took a look into the pool.
There was no sign of the lady on the smooth surface of the water, so it could only be -
“It laid an egg!”
Anjiu immediately walked in, with a hint of joy, and sure enough, he saw a white egg floating quietly on the water.
She put down the candle in her arms, rolled up her sleeves, reached her hands into the water, and skillfully fished the lady out.
While helping her tidy up her appearance, An Jiu muttered, "Madam, you have worked hard. I will definitely put this white egg back to its proper place. I hope that this time I can hatch a member of the tribe. I am lonely alone. Thinking about this, the tribe leader must be in even greater pain..."
After tidying up the lady's long black hair, Anjiu picked up the white egg. The moment he touched it, a warm feeling spread up through his fingers.
Anjiu was ecstatic!
"It's a good egg!"
She couldn't wait to check the room code.
...is the patriarch.
Anjiu's mood was like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling, but it did not completely hit the bottom.
After putting the white egg safely into her pocket and picking up the candles, she turned around and went back to the patriarch's room to make arrangements for the patriarch first.
Before the patriarch left, he said that he would be back in three days at most.
There is not much time left for Anjiu.
Anjiu only lit the candles on this floor and did not bother to go downstairs. He walked quickly through the passage and came to the platform.
Since there was no one around, she took off her dry clothes and put them aside, took last night's wet clothes, and jumped into the sea little by little to adapt herself. The freezing temperature rushed from her toes to the top of her head.
She shuddered violently.
However, when she began to breathe in the sea water, the chill gradually dissipated, and her limbs were no longer cold but felt warm to the touch.
Anjiu chose the bustling commercial district below and sped up his descent.
Ten minutes later, she stepped on flat ground, surrounded by shops.
The disaster must have happened during the day. Every store door here was wide open. Except for some empty bags and foam floating above the house, all other items remained as they were.
Anjiu specifically observed the tree pits where ornamental trees were planted nearby. The soil was flat, with no bumps on the surface, and there were no traces of soil walking around.
It seems that the skeletons don't come out during the day.
