Chapter 7 Crisis
Zu Li was startled, and the clothespin rod in his hand was almost scared. The face of the corpse was swollen and purple. At this moment, a layer of thin white hair grew on the surface. There were no pupils in his open eyes, only a piece of white eyes, and his mouth was wide open, as if he was breathing in a big mouth.
The corpse's arms trembled, as if they wanted to struggle from the water, and suddenly sank down. It seemed that a huge force suddenly emerged from the water, pulling the corpse down. With a "gulp", the corpse sank into the water and disappeared, only splashing water on the water surface.
After only one or two seconds of change, Su Li opened his eyes wide and watched the corpse suddenly sink into the water and turn into a black shadow. Then he disappeared, but his hands and feet were cold, and he retreated, then closed the window tightly, his face turned pale.
"There is something in this water... besides this corpse, there are other things. Just now...this is something that dragged the corpse into the water..."
Su Li's lips trembled slightly, murmured, retreated to the side of the coffee table, grabbed the kitchen knife and hammer, and felt a little relieved in her heart.
He thought of the female corpse he saw before, with signs of being gnawed on his chest, abdomen and legs, and was covered in blood. At that time, he doubted whether there were any carnivorous fish or other corpses gnawed on by some water creatures. Combined with the scene just happened, Su Li had a terrible guess in his heart.
There is an extremely terrifying creature hidden in the water outside, which can eat the corpse. And judging from the speed at which the corpse had just been dragged down, this mysterious water creature is extremely terrifying. It can drag a floating corpse into the water so quickly and disappear. It has great strength and is absolutely not small in size.
"It's not going to be a crocodile or shark or something..."
Zu Li looked at the endless water outside, and his heart faintly felt despair, and this terrible guess came to his mind.
Even a city was flooded. If there were ferocious animals such as sharks or crocodiles appearing in the water in front of him, Zuli didn't find it strange, but for him, it was fatal.
He worked hard to make a raft, thinking of leaving here early tomorrow morning to find other survivors and seeking rescue, but if such a terrible creature really lives in the water, it would be troublesome. He escaped on a raft, which was no different from dying.
"Can you only stay here? The food is limited and you can last for up to four days."
After thinking for a long time, there was no better way to imagine. He could only lock the windows on the balcony row, and then checked the other windows and locked them one by one.
But he knew in his heart that he was thirty floors here and there was no anti-theft window installed outside. If there were still corpses that were really transformed like female corpses during the day, they could easily break the window glass and crawl in. As for what kind of creature was hidden in the water, although he had guessed for a long time, he had no idea. The only hope was that this mysterious creature could only live in the water, and would not be able to go ashore like the corpse transformed.
Zuli was sure that the doors and windows had been locked. Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, he took out the instant noodles, breads, biscuits and other snacks in the refrigerator, and then found a travel backpack and put all the food in the backpack in case of sudden incidents and needed to escape from here urgently and not have time to take the food away.
The room became darker and darker. Zu Li was lying on the sofa with a kitchen knife and a hammer in his arms. With his eyes open in the dark, he had a strong sense of obscenity in his heart. He was afraid something might happen tonight.
It was as if he was about to fulfill his premonition, suddenly, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.
The footsteps were not loud, but they were particularly clear when they rang in this quiet night.
Zuli immediately tightened his whole body, grabbed the kitchen knife and hammer and stood up from the sofa.
He didn't see a living person on the thirty floors at all. How could there be footsteps in the corridor? Could it be...
The steps were heard one after another, listening to the sound, coming towards him.
Su Li finally couldn't help it, and moved his hands and feet in the darkness towards the direction of the security door. He wanted to see through the cat's eyes what was the footsteps outside.
In just a few short steps, Su Li's palms were covered in cold sweat. He held the kitchen knife and hammer tightly, and kept comforting himself and giving himself courage.
"Even if it is a corpse transformation, it is nothing scary. In addition to its appearance, it is not sensitive and has a very stiff movement. It is not my opponent at all..."
He kept silently reciting in his heart, as if he was hypnotizing himself, and then he walked to the door and looked into the cat's eyes.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps outside disappeared, as if the person who was walking stopped.
Zuli looked out from the cat's eyes and saw a darkness outside and could not see anything clearly.
Only then did he remember that the corridor outside was like in his room, all in the dark, with no light, and the cat could not see clearly what was happening outside.
At this moment, a crisp "click" sound suddenly came from the balcony, which was the sound of the window glass shattering.
In this dead silence, the sound suddenly sounded, which seemed particularly harsh. Zuli trembled with cleverness and shook his whole body. He turned his head suddenly and saw a window glass on the balcony shattering, his arms stretched in from outside, and leaned against the window, and a swollen and purple face appeared.
Most of the face was gnawed off, and it was covered with blood and blood. One of the eyeballs protruded from the eye sockets, and there were tendons behind it, hanging on the face. The half of the face that was not gnawed had a layer of thin white hair. The remaining eye without pupils was staring at Zu Li in the darkness, like a fish leaving the water, with its mouth constantly opening and closing unconsciously, looking very strange.
Although most of his face was eaten, Su Li recognized him at first sight as the floating corpse he had seen in the water outside the balcony. His face was still intact at that time and was dragged into the bottom of the water and disappeared. Unexpectedly, it emerged again, smashed a window glass, and wanted to crawl in.
With the first experience of facing the female corpse, although Su Li was still full of fear at this moment, he rushed up and took advantage of the fact that the corpse had not crawled in, he had to take action first.
He had long discovered that although the monster turned into by the corpse was terrifying, its shortcomings were extremely obvious, that is, the joints were relatively stiff and their movements were not as flexible as ordinary people.
When Zu Li rushed forward, the corpse had just reached its head in. He grabbed the hammer with his right hand and smashed it to the head of the corpse with a hammer.
