There are several zombies near the railing on the side of the elevator on the third floor. They have just followed the sound from the side aisle. Under these zombies, Chen Bo and his men have been blocked in the escalator.

A zombie's body stretched out toward the railing, and it flapped its hands to catch the people below. Other zombies continued to crowd there behind, pushing its body out of the railing bit by bit.

A zombie suddenly fell from the top of his head and hit a soldier. The moment the zombie fell, it bit him.

The hapless soldier screamed and pulled the zombie from his body. The nearby soldiers quickly shot the zombie's head and killed it there. The screams and bloody smell stimulated other zombies nearby, and they rushed towards the elevator crazily.

Seeing that the zombies on the second floor had rushed into the elevator, the wounded soldier gritted his teeth and let his teammates pass, but he jumped at the corpses behind him.

"Headmaster, brothers, my baby is Du Xiaobao. He has no mother and will be an orphan from now on." The soldier rushed to the corpses on the second floor, and he cried out with great pain, "Help me to let him live."

The safety pin of the grenade was pulled out by the wounded soldier. His voice had just fallen, and his body had been submerged in the elevator by the corpses.

"Du Yaming!" Chen Bo and the soldiers beside him have red eyes and clattering teeth. This soldier named Du Yaming used his body to drag the corpses coming up behind him, and won precious and short time for other teammates.

"Kill, we should go out alive and never let Du Yaming's son be an orphan.

With a loud bang, the corpses on Du Yaming flew up, their bodies were shattered by grenades, and their limbs were scattered around. Then there were two explosions, and the grenades carried by Du Yaming were detonated one after another. A shower of blood spilled down the hall of the mall, and the brown raindrops mixed with pieces of meat fell on the ground near the explosion area. The elevator had been blasted open a gap, and the zombies that came up behind were squeezed down by other zombies just as they came to the gap.

"Whoever can go back alive, Du Xiaobao is his son. We should let Du Yaming's baby be the same as his father when he was alive." Chen Bo rushed forward with his head in the face of the blood rain falling on his head, and he had one foot on the third floor.

The nearby zombies began to outflank from the side. The elevator behind them had been disconnected from the position close to the second floor in the explosion of the grenade just now. The gap in the middle had become a chasm, blocking the zombies coming downstairs at the stairway entrance. If they wanted to move on, they would only be squeezed by the zombies behind them. Below the gap, the fallen zombies have piled up into a hill.

The roads on both sides of the elevator on the third floor have been blocked by the body swarms. Chen Bo threw the last two grenades he carried at them, and the exploded grenades stopped the momentum of the zombies rushing nearby. Taking this opportunity, Chen Bo smashed the glass wall of the store in front of him with a gun and forced a way out of it.

The escalator on the third floor has been crowded with zombies coming from nearby, and even the road to the escalator on the fourth floor is blocked. Soldiers can no longer reach their destination through the elevator here. Chen Bo can only gamble to see if he can find the stairs of the fire safety passage.

The light here is much better than that at the bottom of the building. The glass of the front store is broken all over the floor. Soldiers jump in behind Chen Bo and shuttle between rows of stores. The sound of footsteps behind me kept up, and there were fewer zombies in front. Perhaps it is because they were attracted by the sound from downstairs. They all gathered near the elevator in advance. The zombies in front of the team are basically trapped in the store before.

This road seems to have been taken alive again by Chen Bo and his colleagues, but no one in the team dares to relax. There are thousands of zombies in this square, and no one knows what kind of danger is waiting ahead.

"Give me some grenades if you have any," Chen Bo said

As the team retreated and redistributed ammunition, Chen Bo rushed left and right between shops on the third floor, followed the direction of the signs along the way, and finally found the door of the fire safety passage. Behind the door is the staircase. Normally, tourists in the shopping mall will not go up and down from here. Only in case of emergency, such as elevator power failure, fire, etc., can this passage be used.

When they opened the door of the safe passage, a smell of corpses came to their nostrils. When Chen Bo and his colleagues came inside, they found that the stairwell was full of corpses that had been rotting for a long time.

It's good to have no zombies. As soldiers, they have been trained before. This is what we call the order line to be still. The front is not only a stinking ditch or a pit, but also a sea of fire. As long as the officer does not stop, they will have to cross it.

All the way up, the team went straight to the seventh floor, and more and more corpses appeared at their feet. The corridor on the fifth floor was blocked by some debris, and several zombies lingered on the other side of the debris. It seems that these corpses below were all survivors hiding in the fire passage before, perhaps because they were trapped in it and lacked food. Finally, they all died here.

Chen Bo sighed. If it had not been for this sudden disaster, he would not have believed that such a tragedy would occur in this stable and peaceful country. As a soldier, he has seen a lot of life and death, especially in the period after the disaster broke out. However, most of those who are no longer alive died in the zombie attack. It is rare to be trapped in a place like this and starved to death.

However, Chen Bo believes that there are still many such situations outside, but the disaster happened too suddenly and violently. The national machinery almost fell into paralysis at a moment. All the departments that can still operate were mobilized. More and more people were rescued from the disaster. They formed shelters of different sizes around the armed forces with protection capabilities, such as the army.

After killing the zombies behind the debris, Qing then removed the obstacles. Chen Bo and his team continued to move upstairs. The sign on the seventh floor of the stairway was close. He took a breath and shook his head.

After staying in the corridor for so long, Chen Bo and his soldiers were a little bored. The soldiers quickly adjusted their status at the door of the seventh floor, then quietly opened the door behind Chen Bo and got out.

The situation on the seventh floor is much better than that below. The previous fight downstairs attracted many zombies, which are now mostly crowded on the fourth and fifth floors. The whole seventh floor looks a little empty compared with the lower floor. There is a lot of garbage on the ground, and few people are wandering around. Chen Bo makes a gesture to the soldiers behind him, and everyone stops together.

"Try not to make any noise. Everyone has it. Start to shoot at the same time, and keep away from glass and other fragile objects." Chen Bo told the soldiers.

"Boss, how can we get down later?" A round faced young soldier suddenly asked. He had just taken his eyes from under the building, and his face was sad.

"Take the fire escape, just the stairs we just came up," said another soldier.

"It's no use taking the stairs. Look below," said the round faced soldier.

Everyone looked down the building and was shocked by the situation below.

The hall on the first floor was full of zombies, and their bodies filled the whole hall. In the field of vision, there are constantly zombies climbing up on the "corpse hill" under the escalator, and some zombies fell down from the gap on the second floor, pressing them under.

Seen from above, those dense zombies are like wriggling maggots, which makes everyone who sees this scene have goose bumps.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Chen Bo suddenly slapped the round faced soldier on the back of his head, "What are you crazy about? We haven't got any information, so we're wondering how to go back?"

The round faced soldier did not speak, and his expression was a little aggrieved.

"There is always a way," Chen Bo looked around and looked at everyone. "Wang Jinxi, are you afraid that we will be trapped here like those in the corridor?"

The round faced soldier nodded and sniffed.

"We soldiers have nothing to fear. Soldiers who fear death are cowards." Chen Bo said, "Du Yaming is a good man."

"Boss, I'm not afraid of death. I...... I...... Am not reconciled." Wang Jinxi said with a defiant face. When he said he was unwilling, his words began to stutter.

"If you are not reconciled to anything, just say what you have to say. Don't fret about it." Chen Bo glanced at him and saw that his face was still embarrassed.

"Boss, I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die here." Wang Jinxi said, "I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet."

"Ha ha," everyone around laughed when this was said.

"Hey," Chen Bo smiled when he saw that everyone's mood was not as depressed as before

"Yes," replied Wang Jinxi.

"Don't tell me who I am. I will take me to this girl after your boy returns," Chen Bo said to him. "I will come to you personally to say goodbye."

"Hey hey," Wang Jinxi touched his head and smiled shamefully. "You must live well in that squad."

"Don't worry, I'm very tough." Chen Bo touched his nose with his hand, then took the gun in his hand

"I see," the soldiers answered one after another.
