Chapter 106: Corpses in the Factory
Chapter 106: Corpses in the Factory
February 2, around 16pm.
As night falls, the sky gradually becomes darker and visibility decreases, but the moon tonight is exceptionally round and bright.
Under Anna's guidance, everyone drove two cars to a factory building that looked like a warehouse.
“Is this the village’s granary?”
After getting off the car, Jill couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the slightly dilapidated and desolate factory building.
"Well... the adults are all gathered here, including Dad."
Anna nodded and said.
Chris and Steve turned on their flashlights and squatted down to pick up a red bullet shell on the ground.
This is a fired 12 gauge buckshot shell.
There were still some long-dried bloodstains on the ground, obviously indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.
"It seems that the villagers probably used this place as a stronghold to resist."
Chris analyzed after carefully examining the shell.
What is strange is that no villagers or other living creatures were found around the factory.
There was only the rustling of the treetops in the breeze and the faint chirping of insects.
It was eerily quiet.
"Let's go in and take a look together. Be alert."
"Anna, follow closely."
Looking at the closed factory door, Chris took out his pistol and asked everyone to follow.
After arriving at the factory door, Chris tried to push the door back, but found that it could not be opened.
It seemed to be locked from the inside.
"Look, I'm going to kick this door..."
Steve immediately yelled that he wanted to rush over and kick the door open.
Before he could finish his words, Jill pulled him back.
"Go away, go away, that's rude."
Steve, who was criticized for no reason, immediately stood beside Yang Ren with a feeling of grievance.
Jill took out a set of lock-picking tools from his pocket and started fiddling with the door lock.
"Can you also pick locks?"
Yang Ren raised one eyebrow and asked.
"Of course, I'm a former lock picking and bomb disposal expert from the STARS team~"
Jill smiled slightly and replied while fiddling with the door lock.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock was pried open.
After pushing the warehouse door open, the dilapidated door hinges made a harsh friction sound.
Snap—↘Squeak~↗
Such a loud noise made everyone frown.
After shining a flashlight inside the factory and making sure it was safe, Chris entered first, followed by others.
Yang Ren, who was walking at the end, paused just before entering the factory.
I turned around and looked around. It was still quiet and there was nothing.
"Strange, I feel like someone is watching me, is it an illusion...?"
He looked around again and made sure that there was no one around before entering the factory and closing the door.
However, the next moment after the factory gate closed, a figure jumped down from the treetops in the distance.
"Long time no see, Nicola, Chris~"
Looking at the group of people entering the factory, the man's mouth curled up slightly.
……
After entering the factory, Yang Ren and Steve both smelled a strange smell.
It was an indescribable smell, like the stench of rotting corpses mixed with the aroma of food and grass.
It smells both good and bad.
With the help of the faint light of the flashlight, everyone could barely see the surrounding environment.
There were large tracts of grain and fodder all around, packed in sacks and stacked up layer by layer, filling the entire warehouse.
There were all kinds of debris scattered on the ground, as if there had been a chaos here.
However, despite searching everywhere, there was still no living person to be seen in the huge warehouse.
"Is there anyone here?"
Chris called out tentatively.
His voice echoed in the silent air, his tone filled with anxiety and worry.
"We are here to help, if anyone is here, please respond!"
Seeing no one answered, he raised his voice and shouted again.
In the huge factory, only Chris's voice kept echoing, and everyone couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.
Could all those villagers be dead?
“No response…”
Chris frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Just as they were about to move on, Claire beside them suddenly discovered something.
"A freezer?"
I saw a square freezer leaning against the corner, which was constantly emitting a hint of cold air.
Through the half-open door of the freezer, there seemed to be a pale hand clinging to the edge of the freezer.
"Let me do it."
Jill protected Anna behind him, then walked past Claire with a gun and came to the door of the freezer.
Grab the edge of the freezer with one hand and pull it hard!
Bang-!
Without the obstruction of the cabinet door, an old man wearing a cotton coat and a cotton hat, with his eyes rolled up and his temples and beard frozen into ice chips, fell straight out of the freezer.
He was still holding a pump-action shotgun tightly in his arms, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
"It's the village chief!"
Anna exclaimed as she recognized the man at a glance.
Chris squatted down and carefully observed the village chief's body with the help of the flashlight.
"He was not killed by the virus, but was frozen to death in the freezer."
After a moment, he came to a conclusion.
"Then why doesn't he come out...?"
Jill touched his chin and muttered to himself.
There was a rustling noise coming from not far away, as if something was moving slowly.
With the excellent eyesight enhanced by the virus, Yang Ren and Steve clearly saw a zombie gradually walking out from the corner not far away.
"This guy seems..."
clatter-
Chris stood up, found the light switch on the wall, and pressed it.
The entire factory suddenly became bright.
"Chris!"
With the help of the light, Jill also saw the zombie coming out from the corner and shouted immediately.
"Maybe the situation outside is even worse, so he would rather freeze to death in the freezer than come out!"
Chris said with a frown as he looked at the staggering zombies not far away.
Even those with shotguns have to hide in here. I'm afraid there are a lot of zombies in this factory.
"Uh-huh~!"
The zombie noticed the group of people next to the village chief's body, let out a low growl in his throat, stretched out his arms and walked towards this side.
"Anna, squat down!"
After yelling at Anna, Chris immediately raised his gun and fired at the zombie's head.
boom!
The bullet accurately hit the zombie's eyeball, penetrated the skull, went out from the back of the head, and hit the food bag behind it.
The zombie lost its balance and staggered backwards, bumping into a large number of food bags.
Puff, puff—(the sound of food bags falling)
As food and straw bags fell down in large numbers, a large amount of smoke and dust spread out, quickly spreading and obstructing everyone's vision.
A moment later, when the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene before them left everyone dumbfounded.
I saw a large group of zombies standing at the corner. There were so many of them that they almost filled the entire factory.
"Fuck, there must be at least two hundred of them!"
Chris cursed.
Although he had expected that there would be a lot of zombies in the factory, the huge scale still surprised him.
Faced with this sudden swarm of zombies, everyone raised their guns and fought without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Crisp and sharp gunshots rang out, and fierce gunfire broke out in the factory like a storm.
Anna on the side had already covered her ears tightly; the sound of the gunshot without any processing was too deafening.
All five of them had experienced large-scale biochemical scenes, so when facing these ordinary zombies, they almost killed them one by one with one shot.
There were so many zombies that they couldn't get close at once.
Yang Ren narrowed his eyes, chose the right moment, and shot two shots at the knee of the zombie in front, breaking it directly.
The fallen zombie successfully hindered the pace of the zombie group behind it, and the zombies fell down in groups as if there was a stampede.
"The opportunity has come, get out now!"
Seeing this, Yang Ren immediately shouted.
"Anna, run!"
Jill turned around immediately, supported the frightened Anna and trotted to the door, turned the doorknob and tried to push the door open.
But no matter how hard she turned the doorknob or pushed, the door didn't budge.
"The door won't open!"
