I cautiously arrived at the second floor along with the escalator. The second floor was also lit, and very quiet. I took a few cautious steps forward and scanned around vigilantly, but didn't find any trace of the monster for the time being.
Just now on the first floor, I roughly observed this commercial building, which has a total of seven floors. The second floor seems to be a place for selling food, with many snack shops, but they are all closed now. I dare not linger too long at the doorways of the shops on the second floor, for fear that some monsters might rush out from the shops. Right now, I'm trying to retreat as much as possible to be on the safe side.
Thinking about it, I might as well go straight to the top floor. Firstly, standing at a high place, I can have a good look at the surrounding streets, and secondly, I can also find out which idiot was throwing stones at me from which direction earlier, trying to harm me.
Soon, I took the escalator directly to the 7th floor.
The 7th floor is a cinema, with no lights on, very dark.
I am holding a fire axe and Umbrella Sword, leaning against the wall, observing the surroundings. In this situation, I dare not turn on the lights recklessly. If there are monsters nearby, turning on the lights would be like waking them up, and I would be completely exposed. Sometimes, darkness is the best invisibility cloak.
I walked along the wall into the ticket hall, very quietly, and didn't notice anything unusual. Just as I was about to go up the stairs to the rooftop from the ticket hall, I heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from B Hall. The footsteps were hurried and rhythmic, like someone running, and not like the chaotic footsteps of a monster.
I leaned against the wall, staring intently at the exit of B Hall in the darkness.
Soon, a agile figure ran out from the B Hall exit, also hugging the wall, and quickly disappeared into Theater A.
Who is this guy?
In the darkness, I can't see this person's face.
Curiosity drives me to go over and find out.
However, reason tells me to mind my own business. In this kind of environment, anyone who can appear here is definitely not a good person.
In case I encounter another guy like the one in the supermarket during the day, it might turn into another fierce battle. I calmed my mind and started to sneak towards the stairwell leading to the rooftop. However, just as I entered the stairwell, a piercing roar from a monster came from the rooftop.
Oh no, there's a monster upstairs. I immediately retreated back into the ticket hall from the stairwell, and as soon as I entered, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairwell. The monster from the rooftop has come down.
I took a glance at Theater A and then sneaked into B Hall. In the pitch-black darkness, I found the middle seat in the last row and crouched behind it. Before long, I heard footsteps approaching the entrance of the screening room. I held my breath, thinking to myself, as long as they don't come to my area and don't discover me, I'll try not to take any action.
Because once it starts, I don't know if I can escape, and judging from the footsteps in the stairwell just now, there are quite a few monsters.
Soon, three monsters have entered the screening room, lingering near the front row seats, muttering lowly in their mouths, seemingly patrolling for prey nearby.
Soon, two of the three monsters have already reached the vicinity of the third row seats, and I am in the middle of the last row, the eighth seat from the center.
Just as a monster had approached the sixth row of seats, I had already pulled out the fire axe, ready to strike at any moment. Suddenly, the sound of a glass breaking came from the ticket hall, crisp and piercing. Three monsters immediately ran towards the exit upon hearing the sound. I felt a sense of relief as the tension that had been building up gradually eased.
I put away the fire axe, wiped the cold sweat off my forehead, and organized my backpack. As I leaned over to tidy up my backpack, I noticed something under the seat next to me starting to light up. It was flashing and shining like a marquee, with a very fancy light.
I squatted down again and took a closer look, only to find that it was a cell phone. Just as I was about to reach out to pick it up, the phone suddenly started singing:
Let the autumn wind carry away my longing / Carry away my tears / I have been quietly waiting / at the agreed place /
Please, let the rain wet my eyes / freeze my heart / so that I no longer desperately ask you / to come back to me / by my side / by my side...
I was stunned by this sudden and unexpected music, my scalp went numb.
Ah~ This...
How the hell did he suddenly start singing, and he's even singing so loudly.
I immediately picked up my phone and pressed the power button to shut it down.
The heart that had just fallen down suddenly hung up again, and unconsciously, cold sweat had already come down. Sure enough, as expected, several monsters outside rushed in upon hearing such loud and affectionate music. A chill rose in my heart.
I crouched behind the seat, tilted my head, and, with the faint light coming in from the exit, I could vaguely make out the silhouettes of four figures. These four monsters were wandering around the screen, seemingly trying to determine the source of the sound from earlier. Taking advantage of the darkness, I quietly moved to the left side of the last row of seats.
I actually don't intend to fight with these monsters, because in a four-to-one situation, and with no cover here, I don't stand a chance. Why risk my life when I can outsmart them? The exit of B Hall is to the left of the seat, near the screen, and it's probably less than twenty meters away from me.
What I'm thinking now is to first attract the monsters to the right side of the seat, and then find an opportunity to slip out directly from the exit. Following the aisle of the seat, I crouched and slipped all the way to the side of the fifth row of seats. Two of the four monsters have already started to move towards the aisle on the right side of the seat, one is still lingering near the screen, and one is walking towards the aisle on my left side.
I switched the fire axe from my right hand to my left hand, then pulled out a can of cola from my backpack. This thing was picked up at the supermarket earlier, and now it's going to come in handy.
I directly smashed it against the wall on the right side of the screening room, and with a bang, the cola splattered and was still hissing and bubbling.
monsters were attracted by this sudden impact, and the two closest monsters in the right aisle had already come over.
The one in front of the screen was also attracted by the sound and began to move towards the right aisle. The one in the left aisle just glanced in the direction of the soda bottle, then wobbled towards me. I switched the fire axe to my right hand again. There was no other way, I had to face this one head-on.
I crouched behind the fifth row of seats, peering through the gaps between the seats, watching as the monster walked towards me. Luckily, it didn't notice me. The plan in my mind was simple - as soon as it passed the fifth row of seats, I would stick out my leg to trip it, then go for the back of its head. But when the creature reached the space between the fourth and fifth rows, it stopped and started looking towards the soda bottle.
At the same time, I glanced to the right and saw three monsters gathered together, with their backs to me, squatting and doing who knows what.
I don't have time to delve into the ridiculous question of whether monsters like to drink cola. My eyes are just staring fixedly at the monster in front of me, no more than two meters away.
Just as I was calculating that as long as this monster took one or two more steps forward, I would attack.
It actually made a sharp turn, went straight through the aisle of the fourth row of seats, and headed directly towards the direction where three monsters were gathering.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. Now was the perfect time to escape.
Three, two, one.
I'll just wait for the monster to reach the middle of the fourth row of seats, then I'll stand up and dash out instantly. It's a very smooth process, covering a distance of over ten meters in less than two seconds. Before the monsters can react, I'll dash out of B Hall and lock the exit door behind me.
All of this has just been rehearsed in my mind several times.
