I'm afraid [6]

"Here's a basement..." Elena, who was ahead with Airon, found a door that seemed to lead to a basement.

Airon approached and looked closer, then after looking at everyone following him, he decided to go down and check.

...

The dark basement.

Airon stood in front of the organized workbench, adjusting the gun in his hand and using the materials he had just obtained on the way to repair and enhance the weapon.

At the same time, he had to listen to the chattering of the two women behind him, a tall one and a small one, in addition to the indifference of the child, with a frustrating expression on his face.

After briefly checking the path, Airon signaled them to move forward.

They were currently located in the basement of a certain building, the room next door was filled with old tables and chairs, and next to it was a shop that was still under renovation.

"Let's go, this way."

The ceiling at the top of the hallway had completely collapsed, and sunlight from the outside world could be seen from above, and the sky had unconsciously brightened.

Looking through the door of the shop and the gap at the top, Airon hesitated for a moment and chose to continue going up.

Crack!

But just as he walked towards the upper floor, a sound of porcelain being crushed on the floor behind him was heard.

"Oh damn it!"

Looking at the porcelain on the floor that she accidentally dropped, Laura cursed inwardly and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Looking around attentively and confirming that the sound from earlier didn't attract the attention of nearby infected people, Elena secretly sighed in relief and then looked angrily at the girl behind her.

But thinking about the identity of the immune person, she furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Follow me closely, be careful outside."

Seeing this, although Airon was also very angry, he didn't say anything after all, he just walked silently in front of the team.

"What is this place?"

Seeing that neither of the two seemed to blame her for it, Elena, who was following closely, felt a little relieved. After approaching, she looked at the calligraphy, paintings, and ornaments around her and asked curiously.

"This building seems to have many things from other places, and some things here are hundreds of years old."

Laura looked around at the surrounding situation. It was completely different from the situation below. Although it was in ruins and dusty, one could see from the charming decorations and many objects still placed in different places that it was once a different place.

It's a pity that after the end of the day, these old items no longer have any value and naturally, no one will come to collect antiques.

"Wow, really?"

All the way forward, Elena looked at things around without blinking, looking here and there for a moment, like a curious baby.

These things may not be uncommon to people who roamed outside before the end of the day, but for her, who has lived in the quarantine area, everything is extremely novel.

Moving forward, Airon didn't have time to pay attention to the two people behind him, he carefully explored the path, crouched down, and entered a collapsed room, and soon found a shortcut to continue moving forward.

It's just that the door was sealed with two or three thick wooden stakes and stones, and there was only a space in the corner for one person to pass through.

"I'll go this way, and be careful with your heads!"

Seeing this situation, Airon looked up and down a bit, squatted down and stood up a bit, and after confirming that he could do it, he called the people behind him to come closer.

After the two entered, he grabbed the stake with both hands and lifted it up, resisting the pressure on his arms, he shouted with difficulty, "Hurry up! Go!"

"Run."

Seeing this, Laura quickly pushed Elena and the child forward, and the two crouched one by one and walked through the narrow intersection.

Seeing the two pass, Airon couldn't bear it anymore, he was about to ask Elena, who was on the other side, to help him, but then he also passed, unexpectedly, when he looked up, he found that the wooden stake above showed signs of loosening.

His pupils suddenly contracted and he didn't care about thinking about how to get there, so he quickly let go and stepped back.

Metallic sound!

The moment Airon let go, all the unsupported wooden posts collapsed, completely sealing the entrance and exit that had little space.

Airon, who accidentally fell to the ground, heard Laura shout in front of him, waved his hand to disperse the smoke that enveloped him, and replied, "I'm fine, be careful, I'll turn around and find you!"

Roar...!

"They're coming!"

But as Airon stood up, the response he received was the approaching footsteps and roars of the infected people.

...

"Quick, get out of here!"

Constantly urging Elena to run forward, Laura could clearly hear the progress of the infected people approaching behind her, gripping the gun tightly in her hand.

But she didn't dare turn around and attack. She could feel that there were other walkers hiding in this building. If she shot in such a confined space, she would only attract more walkers.

When they ran around a corner, they grabbed Elena's arm and hid sideways in a dark room with a broken door beside it.

Roar!!!

Just as they hid, accompanied by terrifying howls, several figures flew past their hiding spot, but after running not too far, they stopped in place because they lost their target.

Listening to the deep panting of the walker in the hallway, Laura leaned against the wall to control her breathing and covered the girl's mouth with her hand.

If they were discovered by the infected ones here, they really had nowhere to escape.

The two remained silent in their place for a long time, and after confirming that the infected ones couldn't find them, Laura released her hand from Elena.

Looking at the room illuminated by the flashlight, she immediately noticed a long and narrow space in the middle of the opposite wall, allowing them to reach the next room.

Lightly patting the girl's back, Laura signaled with her gaze, and Elena and the child also knew how to silently take a step forward and approach cautiously.
