"Boss Lin, after this door opens, it will lead to a passage. The left side goes to the home appliance area, and on the right, after walking about ten meters, is the warehouse area. As far as I remember, there aren't any large fireproof rolling doors there, just small double iron doors like this one!"
The pitch-black surroundings made Ryan Li very anxious, pressing closely behind Jack. Watching Jack illuminate the gray fire door with the flashlight, she swallowed hard and instinctively hugged Jack's waist.
"Relax, don't hold on so tightly, Thomas! You go behind Bai Ru, I'm going to open the door!" Jack patted Ryan Li's arms that were wrapped around him, understanding that she was holding on too tightly to Thomas, rather than intentionally flirting with him like last night. Ryan Li awkwardly nodded, realizing that her actions were too intimate.
Ruianli blushed and shrank to about two meters behind Bai Ru, but before she could stand still, a rough big hand pinched her plump left breast. Ruianli was startled and instinctively wanted to shout, but a cold tubular object roughly pressed against her chin at this time, suppressing the scream that she almost shouted out.
"Hey~ don't scream, little beauty, I won't fuck you, I won't die if I touch your breasts..."
Boss Hu and Thomas put his stubble-covered old face against Ruianli's pretty face and whispered in Ruianli's ear in a very low voice. Seeing that Ruianli was just gasping in fear and not daring to resist, Boss Hu smiled sinisterly.
The entire passage was extremely dark, with only Jack's flashlight bringing some faint light, but Boss Hu inserted his hand very accurately into the collar of Ruianli's T-shirt. Ruianli was not wearing a bra, and it was easy for Boss Hu to hold a proud peak that could make a man roar, and kneaded and rubbed it wantonly. Like an old dog in heat, he pressed his lower body tightly against Ruianli's ass, swaying rhythmically through her pants...
"What's wrong? Ruianli, if you're too scared, just go up first." Bai Ru, who was holding a gun and slowly opening the door with Jack, turned back in confusion, but the passage was too dark. Ruianli, who was standing two meters away from her, couldn't see the situation clearly at all. She could only hear Ruianli's increasingly rapid breathing.
"It's okay, I'll protect her, Rui Li, don't be so tight, Thomas, relax a little, you'll be giving us directions later," Boss Hu's very calm voice sounded, as if there was really no problem.
Seeing Bai Ru return his attention to the slowly opening fire door again, Boss Hu, with a hint of pride, took out his big hand that had been inserted into Rui Li's jeans, rubbed the sticky liquid on his fingers, smiled obscenely and wiped it on Rui Li's trembling red lips, and chuckled in her ear, " Little beauty, you are really sensitive, you are so wet when touched, and you are not very smart. It's not like my brother can't protect you, so why are you stupid enough to snatch that Jack? Don't worry, follow me, I won't treat you badly."
"Let me go, you bastard." Ruianli saw Boss Hu taking away the gun that was staring at her chin, and angrily hit Boss Hu's abdomen with an elbow, but she didn't dare to shout loudly. After cursing in a low voice, she hurriedly walked behind Bai Ru and turned back to glare at Boss Hu with an indignant look. Boss Hu kept laughing sinisterly, and proudly stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked the warm liquid on his fingers.
"Lower the muzzle of the gun, do you want to blow my head off?" Jack had just opened the door a crack, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Ru holding the gun a little tight to Thomas, and the muzzle of the gun was just level with his bent head, and his finger was resting stiffly on the trigger.
"...I'm sorry." Bai Ru quickly lowered her gun and looked at Jack with an apologetic face.
Jack shook his head helplessly. For a brief moment, Bai Ru, holding the gun with a heroic demeanor, even reminded him of Su Yue. But at this moment, it was clear that Bai Ru was still far from Su Yue in terms of combat skills; she was merely mimicking her appearance.
Jack turned his head and gently pushed the door gap a little wider. Fortunately, the imagined stench of corpses did not come through; there was only a slight fishy smell, reminiscent of the odor from rotten salted fish. Jack gently adjusted the powerful flashlight in his hand to long-range mode, supporting the wrist holding the gun with the same hand. He slightly tilted his body and slowly peered into the open door gap.
"Is there anything?"
When the door opened, Boss Hu didn't dare to act up. His left hand, which wasn't holding a gun, kept wiping the sweat from his palm on his pants. The way he clung to Thomas was a stark contrast to his wicked demeanor when teasing Ryan Li.
Jack ignored Boss Hu's words, listened carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing found for now. Boss Hu, make sure to protect Ryan Li at the end. Bai Ru, cover me!"
"Mm!" Bai Ru nodded seriously. This time, she finally remembered to point the gun upwards, gently leaning against the half-open door, slowly applying pressure with her left leg to fully push the door open.
"Knife!"
Jack bent down to enter and shone the flashlight around. The passage, about twenty to thirty meters long, was dark and silent, with boxes of drinks and cardboard scattered along both sides of the wall. Jack straightened up, tucked the gun back into its holster, and reached out behind him without looking back. Sure enough, Bai Ru, in perfect sync, pulled out a long frozen meat knife from behind her and handed it to him.
Weighing the frozen meat knife in his hand, Jack frowned in dissatisfaction. The knife was indeed sharp, but it was too light. However, given the circumstances, he had no choice but to accept it. In this situation, he couldn't use the gun; firing in the corridor would create a huge echo, likely attracting all the living dead that could come.
"Ryan Li, where is the food storage room?" Jack observed his surroundings, adjusted the flashlight to low light mode, and turned to look at the dark fire escape.
"Ah... in..."
Ryan Li was surprisingly flustered as Thomas rushed in from outside the door, followed closely by Boss Hu, who was carrying a gun. Ryan Li ran to Bai Ru's side and, after catching her breath, pointed to the right side of the corridor and said, "Here... if you go to the end and turn left, there's a large food warehouse!"
"Ryan Li, what's wrong? Why are you breathing so heavily?" Bai Ru noticed that Ryan Li was not only panting but also seemed a bit panicked.
"Yeah, Ryan Li, you don't need to be this scared, do you?" Before Ryan Li could respond, Boss Hu stepped forward. Even in the dim light, it was clear that he was staring intently at Ryan Li.
"...It's... it's nothing, just a bit tight, Thomas!" Ryan Li tightly clutched the hem of her T-shirt, lowering her head and shaking it gently as if hesitant to speak.
"How about this, Ryan Li, you and Boss Hu stay here for now. Bai Ru and I will go check the situation. If it's safe, we'll come back to get you!" Jack shone his flashlight on Ryan Li's shoulder, only to find her face flushed. He felt a bit puzzled but didn't think much of it; after all, just like riding a roller coaster, feeling too tight could also make one's face turn red.
"No..." Ryan Li immediately looked up at Jack in panic and hurriedly said, "I... I want to go with you. Staying here will make me... scared!"
"Alright then... you and Boss Hu will bring up the rear. Don't follow us too closely, and if you notice anything wrong, shout!" Jack nodded at Ryan Li and signaled to Bai Ru, then turned and stepped cautiously down the dark corridor, holding the flashlight.
The long corridor was terrifyingly dark and eerily quiet. Besides the careful footsteps of the few people, they could almost hear each other's rapid breathing. Ryan Li felt as if the corridor, which was only twenty or thirty meters long, seemed longer than two or three hundred meters, as if it had no end.
Fortunately, the old man named Hu behind her did not bother her this time. Ryan Li instinctively rubbed her legs and immediately noticed that her private area was already in a state of discomfort, sticky and irritating. She bit her teeth in shame and anger, secretly vowing that if that old man dared to harass her again, she would definitely slap him hard this time.
"Bang…"
Lost in thought, Ryan Li accidentally kicked a wooden box beside her, causing a long echo in the dim corridor. To her surprise, Boss Hu behind her immediately screamed, nervously waving his gun and shouting, "Where? Where? Get out here..."
"Old Hu, it was Ryan Li who kicked the box!" Jack turned around, shining his flashlight on the startled Old Hu, looking at him with a helpless expression, not understanding how a grown man could be so timid, especially when two women hadn't even called him out first.
"Damn it, you blind bitch!" Old Hu first looked embarrassed, then glared angrily at Ryan Li. Although Ryan Li was also a bit flustered, seeing Old Hu, who was even more panicked than her, she sneered contemptuously.
"Alright, everyone be careful, this isn't a place to bicker!" Jack shook his head in displeasure, stood still for a moment to listen to the sounds around them, then waved his hand gently, continuing to lead the group forward slowly.
