"Are you f * cking kidding me?" Lin Sanjiu roared. She grabbed Xiao Yu, who was lying on the ground, and ran like a madman.
Fang Dan and Marcie did not dare to waste a second. They followed closely behind Lin Sanjiu and dashed toward the staircase. Usually, it was a short distance, but today, it seemed endless. Before they could get close, a black shadow had already flown over their heads.
Wherever the black shadow passed, a deep crack would appear on the ceiling. Countless broken stones, wood chips, and bricks rained down from the ceiling. The few of them immediately covered their heads and faces, and their footsteps slowed down as they dodged the attack.
With a "dong" sound, the black shadow landed in front of the women and retracted the pair of shiny black wings on its back.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw another four to five duoluozhongs with wings rushing in behind them.
A normal duoluozhong without wings was about to enter, but when it saw the black shadow, it turned around and left.
Each of the duoluozhong with wings was huge. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking of the two duoluozhongs she saw at the police station. The skin that covered their bodies and wings was not wrinkled, nor was it as smooth as a human's. Instead, it was a glossy, dark brown hard surface, a little like a beetle.
If it wasn't for the fact that it had a human torso, it would look like a huge cockroach with wings from the back.
"Ugh …" Xiao Yu's eyes were glazed over, and she collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head to look at the woman and cursed inwardly.
"Let's fight!" Fang Dan said with a trembling voice, "Do any of you have a weapon?"
Just as Lin Sanjiu was staring at the duoluozhong, her body drenched in cold sweat, the duoluozhong squinted its eyes at her happily. At that moment, Lin Sanjiu caught a whiff of its scent.
Their bodies were usually very fishy, but now, there was a very faint fragrance mixed with that guy's body. It was very familiar.
It was the smell of laundry detergent.
In the oasis, due to the precious water source, only the staff building had laundry detergent — because only they had the privilege to wash clothes.
This duoluozhong was wearing the clothes of a cadre. Or rather, its clothes were treated like a cadre.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip. The conjecture that popped up in her mind was too shocking. The hall was extremely quiet. Other than Yu Yu's crying, there was not a single sound from the buzzing of the duoluozhong. It was as if the duoluozhong were trying to restrain themselves from making any sound.
In fact, if Lin Sanjiu listened carefully, she would realize that even though the sky was covered by the flying duoluozhong, there was only movement and no sound.
Before the duoluozhong in front of her could make a move, Lin Sanjiu suddenly launched an attack. She kicked Xiao Yu toward Fang Dan and shouted, "Blow the whistle! Call for help! Marcie and I will block them for you! "
When she moved, the surrounding duoluozhong also moved. Some of them spread their wings, some of them waved their mouths, but all of them charged toward Lin Sanjiu silently.
Marcie had absolute trust in Lin Sanjiu. As soon as she finished her sentence, she was already in front of Fang Dan. With a powerful kick, she forced away a duoluozhong that was about to attack Fang Dan.
Fang Dan felt her legs go weak. She looked down and saw a whistle hanging on Xiao Yu's chest. She was very familiar with this whistle. Every night, the people in the oasis would be awakened by this whistle. She tugged the whistle down in a fluster. Before she could say a word, she pursed her lips and blew. The sharp whistle immediately echoed in the hall and spread far away.
As expected, the duoluozhong were a little flustered. However, their attacks became more ferocious. It seemed like they wanted to kill all of them before they could make a sound. They were much more powerful than normal duoluozhongs. Lin Sanjiu could barely see their mouthparts moving. In just a blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu was covered in bloody wounds. She transformed her baton into a baton, and she couldn't care less about conserving electricity. She launched a frenzied counterattack with the crackling of electricity. Surprisingly, she managed to withstand the combined attack of two duoluozhongs.
The ear-piercing whistle sounded a few times. Fang Dan threw the whistle away and yelled at the top of her lungs, "The duoluozhong have invaded the oasis! The duoluozhong have invaded the oasis!"
Then, a few more sharp whistles sounded.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was in the middle of a strenuous battle, she could still hear the commotion coming from the two basement floors like a tidal wave. Soon, she could hear the clattering of footsteps coming up the stairs. A man was the first to open the door.
His eyes fell on the hall. Just as his eyes widened, a duoluozhong suddenly closed in. With a curl of its proboscis, a human head flew into the air like a ball.
There was a row of sharp teeth on the edge of its proboscis that Lin Sanjiu had never seen before.
The headless body fell to the ground. A burst of screams came from behind him. This time, the skeptical crowd burst into an uproar. Some turned around and fled, some cried and shoved each other, and some roared and tried to rush out. Wave after wave, the empty hall became a megaphone that could be heard from far away.
While a few duoluozhong went to intercept the escaping crowd, Lin Sanjiu gave Marther and Fang Dan a look. The three of them turned and ran toward the window on the other side of the hall. Lin Sanjiu smashed the glass. She turned around and saw the duoluozhong chasing after her. She shouted anxiously, "Fang Dan, get out! Wake up the people in the other buildings! Quick! "
Fang Dan gritted her teeth and leaped out of the room.
Lin Sanjiu moved her right hand, and two cards shot behind her like bullets. Then, with a loud hiss, two cheap fruit knives plunged into the eyes of the duoluozhong.
On the other side, two duoluozhong followed the escaping crowd down to the basement floor. Blood and broken limbs splattered everywhere as if they were chopping vegetables. When the other two duoluozhong in the hall saw that their companion was injured, they let out a low hiss and rushed over.
At this moment, Fang Dan's heart-wrenching roar finally came from afar, "Get up! The duoluozhong have invaded the oasis! "
A series of shouts exploded in the oasis like thunder. It only took a few seconds for the crowd to go from bewildered when they were first woken up to wailing in fear.
"What's the point of waking them up?" Marther's long steel armor blocked the incoming proboscis. She was sweating profusely, "Aren't we just sending those ordinary people to their deaths?"
"These duoluozhong are from the oasis!" Lin Sanjiu blocked a counterattack and leaped into the air. She swung her baton in an arc in the air and smashed the fruit knife into the brain of the injured duoluozhong. The duoluozhong's body swayed and fell to the ground, motionless. Lin Sanjiu had not gone through any combat training, but from the looks of it, she seemed to have some talent in combat.
Marther was stunned by Lin Sanjiu's words. She almost got hit in the back by a proboscis. She quickly rolled away and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I think they have been hiding here all this time," Lin Sanjiu touched the corpse on the ground with her finger. The corpse instantly turned into a card and she held it in her hand. "There must be a reason why they don't want to be discovered by the people of the oasis. I'm just trying to make them hold back!"
Even though that was what she said, Lin Sanjiu did not expect that the price of holding back would be so high.
The situation outside was getting more and more chaotic. The crowd was crying and running for their lives. They were like a bunch of trapped beasts with no way out. Blood spurted from the crowd from time to time, which further stimulated the people's nerves. Their fear was so thick that they could touch it with their hands. Compared to the duoluozhong, there were probably more people who died from collisions and trampling.
In this hellish scene, a long whistle suddenly rang out. As if they had received an order, all the duoluozhong in the lobby stopped fighting. The two duoluozhong that went downstairs also returned. They had heard Lin Sanjiu's words. One of them narrowed its eyes and glanced at her without saying a word. Then, all four of them turned around and flew out of the lobby.
Looking out from the entrance, the duoluozhong that looked like a dark cloud had all flown away. The ones that were walking back and forth on the rooftop had disappeared without anyone noticing.
Their retreat was swift and orderly. Marther, who was still in disbelief, was instantly rendered speechless.
For a few seconds, the oasis fell into a strange silence. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the duoluozhong that were flying away. They were stunned speechless.
"Woo …" Suddenly, a soft voice rang out from behind. It was Xiao Yu. She was scared out of her wits at the beginning and fell into a corner. That was why she survived until now.
As if Lin Sanjiu was reminded by Xiao Yu's voice, Lin Sanjiu shuddered and suddenly realized something. She grabbed Marther and ran out.
"Now is the best chance! While the oasis is in a mess, let's get the car … "Lin Sanjiu said as she looked around and rushed toward the convoy.
However, this thought was quickly dispelled by a voice that echoed in the air, "Attention everyone, this is Professor Bai's office!"
Startled, the two of them slowed down.
A majestic male voice came from a few loudspeakers in the oasis at the same time. The air suddenly seemed to freeze, and the dead silence from before returned, "First of all, everyone, please be rest assured. The invading duoluozhong have all left. We are out of danger! Right now, the five cadres of the oasis have arrived at the scene of the incident to investigate the situation and deal with the aftermath. After the broadcast ends, all of you return to your room immediately. Otherwise, you will be arrested and evicted immediately. I repeat, after the broadcast ends, all of you return to your room immediately … "
If they returned now, they would never be able to come out again. If they fell into Chen Jinfeng's hands, they could forget about evicting them. They looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu pointed upward and nimbly climbed up the outer wall of the building to the outdoor air conditioner. The industrial air conditioner was much bigger than the household air conditioner, so it was convenient for the two women. Both of them were not fat, so it was a perfect fit for both of them to curl up on the outdoor air conditioner.
Once the broadcast ended, the crowd immediately rushed back into the dormitory like a flock of frightened sheep. The five cadres shouted their orders one after another, and their footsteps echoed loudly on the ground. There were sounds of dragging corpses, questioning, and searching … The two of them hid on top of the crowd and did not move for more than two hours before the oasis gradually quieted down.
It had been a few days since they were exposed to the afternoon sun. The longer the two of them hid on the outdoor air conditioner, the more uncomfortable they felt.
"Buzz." Following that, the sound of someone tapping the microphone came from the broadcast.
The man from before spoke again, "Everyone, please take note. This is Professor Bai's office. According to a reliable witness, the tragedy today was caused by someone in the oasis who conspired with the duoluozhong and lured the duoluozhong here. As the last hope for the revival of mankind, we cannot tolerate such a situation … Now, announce the names of the traitors. "
"Lin Sanjiu."
"Marcie."
"The traitors are two females. Their ages range from 20 to 30 years old. They might have accomplices. Lin Sanjiu, the main culprit, has a bandage around her neck. Marcie is a red-haired Caucasian … "
"Everyone in the oasis is responsible for finding and reporting the location of the traitors … At the same time, all guards are to cancel their shifts and guard the entrances to prevent the traitors from escaping. I repeat … "
