Chapter 06: The Haunted Building (Part Two)

During the day, he marked the location where the green-haired cat appeared yesterday with a line on the ground, creating a hazardous area. Today, they surprisingly all broke through that area, moving forward about 20 centimeters before stopping.

This building has only thirty floors

Thus, actions were taken swiftly

In the gloomy night, only the sound of crows feeding with their long beaks can be heard

A scream pulled him back to reality

The first place he went was the area where the tragedy occurred yesterday, the location of that pile of sofas. There were traces of blood on the ground from the friction, and the bodies of the captain and several others were nowhere to be found. He instinctively thought of the flight attendant who had resolutely left yesterday; she probably also perished.

Soon, three crows were killed by the wildcat trap.

By the time everything was ready, it was already night.

After dozens of strikes, the screen was already shattered, and even the internal chip was cracked. The crow finally lay motionless on the ground

Liang Zuo only had time to roll on the ground, but the thing behind him did not let him go, still piercing his muscles with pain. He instinctively wanted to escape, but a strong sense of unwillingness and anger surged in his heart

One person and one bird transformed into two boxers embracing each other to attack the opponent

The canine teeth gripped tightly in hand delivered a fierce blow to the crow's neck, the sharp teeth piercing through the feathers and skin that the previous baton had failed to harm, causing blood to surge forth, and the crow emitted a gurgling sound as if it were drowning. In its final moments, it became even more ferocious, tearing a large chunk of flesh from Liang's shoulder with a single peck. Only at such close range could one see that the crow's mouth was lined with rows of densely packed, steel-like teeth.

Liang Zuo was calculating in his mind that, following this trend, he could hold out for at most a few more days. Even if he were fortunate enough to obtain a vehicle to travel to a safe city, it would be very difficult to find a shelter along the way that resembled a strange building

Soon, Liang Zuo finally saw that colossal object

Only his voice surrounded me, even the sound of the wind had vanished

Sitting inside, wrapped in a blanket, I can somewhat fend off the chill from outside

In the afternoon, Liang Zuo searched for various coverings available around him, including abandoned luggage, small steel frames, and single sofas, to create a small nest for himself against the wall—something he had done often in the wild, though he had never encountered such good materials as here

What kind of enemy has humanity truly encountered? What exactly is Poseidon?

Liang Zuo groped for his fallen mobile phone, using it as a hammer to strike forcefully at the position where the canine tooth was embedded.

Pure power is not frightening; what is terrifying is this group of new era animals endowed with formidable strength who have also gained intelligence. They have begun to understand interspecies cooperation and further utilize tactics and terrain

The green-haired cats huddled together, warily watching the sky, as their old adversaries, the crows, approached once again. Like the cats, the crows had also become more formidable; their bodies had not changed much, but their heads now sported a prominent ring of fluorescent green patterns, making them stand out significantly. This time, the cats were not merely fleeing; judging by their stance, they seemed prepared to confront their old rivals.

He struck wildly, leaving his opponent somewhat dazed, and his own claws, which he had been holding tightly, also relaxed.

There are no abnormalities at the entrance; it is just that the number of floors in this building has decreased

Now, Liang Zuo is urgently in need of finding the satellite phone they mentioned earlier

It turns out to be a wild boar

I slightly stretched my limbs, ate a few pieces of chocolate to replenish my energy, and drank a few sips of water

As for the group of people who had parted ways before entering the building, Liang Zuo also attempted to make contact, shouting for a while in the airport lobby, but not a single person responded. He had already lost most of his hope

The wild boar, holding a barely alive green-haired cat in its mouth, disdainfully gazed at the scattered prey fleeing in all directions

The entire airport hall resembled an abandoned palace, with not a single vehicle in sight, nor the usual congestion at the airport entrance.

The strange building during the day is grayish-white, appearing as if it is made of some kind of metal. It was not noticeable at night, but during the day, Liang Zuo could clearly see that this was a crooked building, not straight at all. The entire structure leans to the right, with the foundation on the right side being deeper than that on the left, where the concrete floor is also more broken. Liang Zuo looked at the building and couldn't help but shout: "Is anyone there? Is there anyone upstairs?"

Inside, there is a single armchair, and in front of it, there is a barrier made of boxes resembling the first flood control dam

Liang cautiously ran over while holding a baton and wearing protective gear, picking up a canine tooth

Ultimately, there is only one path to take, which is to enter the building

It stands at a height of three meters, charging towards here like an armored vehicle at high speed. With each step it takes closer, the impact of its limbs on the ground sends a shiver of anxiety through Liang Zuo, its overwhelming momentum akin to that of a freight truck speeding down the road

Upon waking, Liang Zuo felt surprisingly refreshed. He was not a delicate person; sleeping on the ground or in the grass was something he often did. The sun hung high in the sky, and there was a burning smell in the air. If it were not for the sight of the surrounding emptiness, along with the shoes, scarves, glasses, and packages left behind in the hasty escape, he would have thought that everything from last night was merely a dream

Liang Zuo made an unsettling discovery; they seemed to be able to approach the building more closely

After waiting for about an hour, the crows finally departed. They had eaten very thoroughly, leaving not even a bone behind. Liang Zuo could not understand how they managed to break the bones with their long beaks, nor how they digested such hard substances with their stomachs. However, there were still remnants on the ground; aside from the bloodstains, there were canine teeth, which were likely things the crows found unworthy.

Two flashlights, one cold-resistant uniform for airport staff, one chain, one police baton, one stainless steel cart, one radio device, and several food items

Damn it, we are also at the top of the food chain

The wild cats, terrified, sought to escape one by one, yet they were entangled by a flock of crows, unable to flee swiftly, resulting in numerous casualties

The time displayed on the phone is 9:40 in the morning

In the end, Liang Zuo found that he could only hide beside the strange building, as that was the only way he could feel a bit more at ease

He slowly stood up and rubbed his knees and shoulders. He emptied the contents of his backpack, leaving a few pieces of chocolate and a bottle of water. Taking a deep breath, he slowly moved closer to the airport again. In one hour, he had only covered a few hundred meters, stopping frequently to listen and look around, fearful of sudden appearances of green-haired cats and strange mice.

There are leather shoes left on the ground

Later, he thought that if he were to encounter it, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape as well

The wild boar snorted and walked towards the direction it came from in small steps. The crow began to peck at the corpse of the wild cat on the ground

He closed his eyes

Liang Zuo is not much better; his right arm is almost immobile, and his back and thigh have suffered penetrating wounds. The loss of blood is causing his brain to become increasingly sluggish

The crow flock began to grow restless, continuously screeching loudly, forcing Liang Zuo to cover his ears to withstand the high decibel level. The green-haired cats, on the other hand, were extremely excited due to their successful hunt, constantly pawing at the corpses of the dead crows on the ground as a show of dominance. Liang Zuo soon realized that these cries were not meant to intimidate the green-haired cats; a muffled sound was coming from afar.

He stumbled his way to the entrance of the building

This object was left by the green-haired cat, measuring nearly 10 centimeters in length, with a hard bone structure, still retaining some warmth. He thought that if he could implant this object into the police baton, its lethality would greatly increase

Even if fate compels me to make the choice to enter the building, at the very least, I can choose to make an effort to fight before leaving

A frame is propped up on top, and a carpet cut from the airport is hung. Layers of cling film are applied over the carpet. This creates a makeshift rain shelter.

Liang Zuo looked around, and all was silent.

Both sides have engaged in a battle of wits and courage, far exceeding the realm of ordinary animals

Seeing the elevator close, he finally breathed a sigh of relief

Faced with the wild boar, the green-haired cat no longer had the will to resist, but desperately fled towards the airport terminal

After surviving the calamity, Liang Zuo finally understood. It turned out that the green-haired cat was not afraid of the crows, but rather of their leader, the monstrous wild boar.

From the traces left on the ground, Liang inferred that several bodies had been dragged away by the infected individual.

While eating the fruit he had found, Liang Zuo first changed into a new set of clothes. The humidity from last night had made his down jacket quite heavy and it was no longer very warm. On the other hand, this cold-resistant outfit was more practical and durable. He felt a bit hesitant; logically, taking refuge inside the building would be the best choice. However, those who had entered seemed to have vanished, leaving no echo behind.

Do these monsters fear the daytime or do they have a habit of being active at night?

Liang Zuo directly turned his head and embraced the object, pressing it down beneath him, raising the baton and striking it with all his might. The intense pain in his body transformed into a source of anger and strength

Liang Zuo could only feel the ground continuously shaking, as if a road roller was heading this way

Fortunately, upon entering, there was an elevator; he had just climbed to the elevator entrance when the door opened automatically

With all his might, he lay down and leaned against the inner wall of the elevator. Liang Zuo discovered that the structure here was quite strange. The interior of the elevator was silver-white, yet there were no floor buttons at all, not even buttons for opening or closing the doors

What he felt more in his heart was a sense of unwillingness

Reluctantly turning back

Liang Zuo was hiding in his small nest, watching intently

He remembers very clearly that it was clearly the thirty-third floor

Liang Zuo's continued strikes seemed to have no effect on it; it merely clung tightly to Liang Zuo's thigh with its claws, attempting to peck at his head with its beak. Liang Zuo dodged this attack and directly pressed against it, using his shoulder to brace against its neck to avoid being injured on the head

The cats formed a circular formation, huddling together to minimize the gaps between them, facilitating mutual assistance. The crows did not attack directly as they had last time; instead, they circled continuously, dividing into several small teams. They employed tactics similar to cavalry guerrilla warfare, attempting to break through the perimeter of the circular formation by swooping down from above. The cats did not leap recklessly but waited until the crows approached, then pounced en masse to bring them down. They quickly bit the crows' necks, using their strength to control them and swiftly kill them.

Liang Zuo felt a sense of despair for the first time

The upper floor is enveloped in silence, with only those fixed points of light still shining.

In the deserted airport terminal, he searched everywhere, carefully avoiding some ajar and closed rooms, fearing that creatures like mice and green-haired cats might be hiding inside. Consequently, his efficiency was relatively low, and the useful items he ultimately obtained are as follows

At this moment, Liang Zuo realized that the one attacking him was a crow, although it was somewhat smaller than before. With its wings spread, it approached two meters in size, and its bulk was not insignificant

Liang Zuo preferred to choose his own path, firmly believing that each individual is unique and that there is no fixed model for everyone to follow. However, with the threat to life looming before him, he ultimately had to compromise

Once again, as he swung the baton, the blood made it too slippery, causing the police baton to slip from his hand. Liang Zuo had no choice but to precariously prop himself up and switch to his left hand, where he had just managed to pick up a canine tooth

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his back

Following the trail of blood for a few steps, Liang Zuo saw that it led to an open door of an aircraft.

Passing by the building, it carefully scrutinized its surroundings, then glanced at Liang Zuo, who was hiding in a small shed nearby. It exhaled, took two steps forward, and was almost within one meter of Liang Zuo. The wild boar's tough skin had a coarse texture, and the bristles on its back resembled steel spikes. Its small eyes were filled with the pride of being at the top of the food chain. Liang Zuo could smell the blood from the boar's mouth and the scorching breath it exhaled, which also carried the scent of some rotting fruit.

The crow soon awakened from its dizziness

As expected, the green-haired cats have appeared once again. They are larger than the last time they were seen, each measuring over 170 centimeters in length, which no longer qualifies as the size of a cat, but rather resembles some kind of juvenile wild predator. Compared to last night, they are much calmer, each one pacing back and forth, exerting pressure on Liang Zuo, who is illuminating the area with a flashlight.

He looked at the strange building and suddenly noticed something unusual

Why are we considered food

He does not dare to gamble

Do not turn that group of monsters into food

Its speed is no less than that of the green-haired cat, and it quickly crashed into the group of cats, sending several of them flying, amidst a chorus of wails.
