Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 565

After eating and drinking, Nana lay down next to Zhang Mengdi and fell asleep deeply.

"You should also take a nap. I'm in good spirits right now, so I'll keep watch. You've been running around all day and fighting zombies. You're really tired today." Zhang Mengdi said a few words to Li Teng.

Li Teng saw that Zhang Mengdi was in good spirits, so he lay down next to Nana.

He was indeed very tired and fell asleep quickly after lying down.

Too tired to even dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Teng felt someone touching his face, and he suddenly woke up.

"Shh!" Zhang Mengdi made a silencing gesture to Li Teng.

"What's going on?" Li Teng asked Zhang Mengdi in a low voice.

Zhang Mengdi crawled towards the security room, seemingly wanting to get out.

Li Teng looked at Nana sleeping on the ground, went out to do some reconnaissance, then reached out to carry Zhang Mengdi out of the security room, and lifted her body up to face him.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"I'm really sorry. I have to leave Nana to you. I can't stay with you anymore." Zhang Mengdi suppressed his emotions painfully.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Let's face it together." Li Teng felt something was wrong.

"I think... I was infected by the zombie virus."

"Did you get bitten? Where was the bite?"

"Maybe my injured leg was contaminated with the zombie virus, so I was infected." Zhang Mengdi answered Li Teng.

"Don't think so much. We all smeared those things on our bodies, and some of them splashed into our mouths and noses. There is no infection. It seems that the virus can only be transmitted through bites." Li Teng comforted Zhang Mengdi, thinking that she was Too worried.

Although this setting is unreasonable, it is a common setting in zombie movies and TV shows.

"No, I can feel that I am starting to devour blood. I have a stronger and stronger urge to bite you just now. In addition, my injured leg no longer hurts at all. It doesn't hurt when I squeeze it hard. I can even Sensing the presence of other zombies, something seems to be calling me to join their team." Zhang Mengdi shook his head.

Hearing what Zhang Mengdi said, Li Teng took a closer look at Zhang Mengdi's face in the moonlight and found that her face had begun to turn black and blue, which was somewhat similar to the faces of the zombies.

"I feel the changes in my body very clearly, and I may turn into a zombie at any time. I can't stay with you anymore, otherwise I will kill you." Zhang Mengdi seemed very calm at this time.

"Don't think too much. You haven't been bitten. It's just a psychological problem." Li Teng comforted Zhang Mengdi a few more words.

"No, I know very well that my current changes are not normal. This is not what a leg injury should show. I am definitely infected. Don't be stupid. Don't wait until I turn into a zombie and bite you before you regret it. ." Zhang Mengdi shook his head vigorously.

"You have no legs. It's not that scary if you become a zombie. Don't think too much about it. Just sleep for a while. It will be fine after a nap." Li Teng continued to comfort Zhang Mengdi.

Zhang Mengdi wanted to say something, but suddenly a roar similar to that of a zombie came out of her throat, and her face became a little ferocious. After a moment, she tried to calm herself down and then covered her face.

Now Li Teng could be sure that she was really infected.

It is in the process of corpse transformation.

Obviously, this is the plot arranged by the director, constantly pushing him towards a dead end.

"If you don't believe me, you can throw me into a pile of zombies. They probably won't bite me anymore." Zhang Mengdi covered her face and said in a low voice. Her voice began to get thicker and sounded weird.

"If you're really worried, I'll tie you to this tree with a rope first. Maybe it's just a false alarm." Li Teng thought of an idea.

"Okay." Zhang Mengdi did not object.

When Li Teng came back from looking for food in the food store, he also took a piece of rope, paper, pen and other items. At this time, the rope came in handy. One end was tied to Zhang Mengdi's waist, and the other end was tied to a tree nearby.

"Actually, it's nothing to become a zombie. On the contrary, it's a relief." Zhang Mengdi comforted herself, but there was indeed a feeling of relief on her face.

Li Teng said nothing, just thinking quietly.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Mengdi cleared his throat and asked Li Teng.

"What do you mean...time file?" Li Teng was thinking about this question.

This plot mission can be said to have completely failed at this point, and there is no possibility of recovery.

He was quite unwilling.

He had a vague feeling that the key to cracking this plot mission might lie in the name of the show.

"Time Archives".

But he could never find the connection between these words and the plot.

"Time file? A file that records time? A file that stores time?" Zhang Mengdi guessed a few words.

"Record? Storage?" Li Teng frowned.

Could it be...

"Can you draw me a picture? The places we passed along the way...from where my parents picked us up in the car? The more detailed the better." Li Teng ran over and handed a pen and paper to Zhang Meng. Dee.

"Okay." Zhang Mengdi had difficulty speaking at this time.

She reached out and took the pen and paper that Li Teng handed her, and lay on the ground to draw hard under the moonlight.

Her hands were shaking badly, which made it difficult for her to draw.

After more than ten minutes, she finally handed the drawn picture to Li Teng with her hand that could no longer hold the pen. Then she yelled at Li Teng and quickly lowered her head.

"Mengdi, thank you, you gave me a good tip." Li Teng looked at the picture, and then looked at Zhang Mengdi.

Zhang Mengdi screamed at Li Teng again with a ferocious expression. After a moment, a look of pain appeared on her face, but the pained look soon disappeared, and then she screamed crazily at Li Teng.

At this time, she was no different from the zombies wandering on the street.

"Mengdi? Wife?" Li Teng was still a little heartbroken when he saw her like this.

Zhang Mengdi roared back at him again.

The painful expression just now was the last trace of humanity left in her body.

While he was sleeping, she silently felt the abnormality in her body, judged that her situation was not good, and woke Li Teng in time.

Otherwise, Li Teng and Nana would have become zombies like her.

Li Teng decided to take Nana away from here while she was still awake.

This scene was too cruel for Nana.

Li Teng walked into the security room quietly and picked up Nana who was sleeping on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Nana was very alert and woke up as soon as Li Teng picked her up.

When she saw it was Li Teng, she didn't cry, but lay on Li Teng's shoulder.

Chapter 566

Li Teng carried her toward the security room, keeping her back facing the tree where Zhang Mengdi was.

"Where's mom?" Nana still realized something. She raised her body and looked around.

I happened to see Zhang Mengdi, who was tied up by a rope and roaring at this side.

"Mom is hungry. Dad will take you to find food for her." Li Teng lied to Nana.

"Oh, mom is very hungry." Nana looked at Zhang Mengdi blankly, and then Li Teng quickly carried her away from the security room until she could no longer see Zhang Mengdi.

Li Teng walked back with Nana in his arms.

Go back along the way you came before.

He added some more zombie juice to his and Nana's bodies to prevent them from attracting the attention of nearby zombies.

Nana lay on Li Teng's shoulder and quickly fell asleep again.

Li Teng hoped that she would stay asleep like this. Once she woke up, she might cry and the zombie juice would not be able to help them.

Zhang Mengdi turned into a zombie, but the plot mission was not declared a failure.

This seemed to confirm some of Li Teng's conjectures.

However, if he cannot find the so-called 'time file' before the nuclear bomb falls at noon tomorrow, his plot mission will really fail.

…

Half an hour later, Li Teng arrived near the bridge.

After searching around, I didn't find anything worthy of attention.

The time file must exist, otherwise the play would not be called this name.

As for the location of the time file, it was most likely on the road along the way, and Li Teng ignored it when he passed by.

Li Teng was not very familiar with this city.

He could remember the places he had walked, but the places he had not walked, such as the road where his parents' car took them from the initial point of the plot to Qiaotou, he didn't pay much attention because he was in the car at the time.

Fortunately, Zhang Mengdi drew a picture for him.

Although it is crooked, some obvious landmarks are marked on the map.

With this map, Li Teng spent more than three hours and finally returned to the previous starting point before dawn.

That’s where he was when he first entered the script world.

The situation was critical at that time. The streets were full of zombies chasing and biting madly. Li Teng had no time to think about anything, let alone stay at the starting point to look for clues.

Then his parents' car appeared, and they got in. Everything that followed was deliberately arranged by the director, making his script task extremely difficult.

If he hadn't thought of the connection between the plot mission and the name of the play, he would have definitely lost this time.

I don't know if there is any chance of recovery.

If there is, it should be here.

Now the moon has gone down and the sun has not come out yet.

It's the darkest time before dawn.

Li Teng held Nana, who was still sleeping, and searched around the zombie-filled streets.

Finally, he found a terminal covered with dust in a nearby house with a smashed wall.

A terminal unique to the film and television city.

Li Teng gently wiped away the dust on the terminal screen, and then pressed his palm on it.

As a result, the terminal was started!

The sound and light of the terminal starting up alerted the nearby zombies, and they all gathered together.

Nana was also awakened by the sound and light of the terminal. Just as she was about to grin and cry, Li Teng quickly put her head on his shoulder again.

On the terminal screen, the words 'time file' were written clearly.

Under the words "Time File", there is a horizontal bar similar to the archive in the game.

The time shown above was noon the day before yesterday, which was the time when Li Teng just entered the plot.

Li Teng clicked on the time file, and a warning message with a red exclamation mark popped up on the screen.

"Loading an archive requires ten years of life. If the plot mission is successfully completed, the deducted life span will be returned; if the plot mission fails, the deducted life span will not be returned."

"Ten years of life?"

Li Teng was stunned.

If this plot mission fails, he will be deducted 160 points.

He has a balance of 174 points in his account, which is a loss he can afford.

But if he takes out the save file but still fails to complete the plot mission, an additional ten years of his life will be deducted!

How to choose?

All the zombies on the street gathered together and were about to rush into the house where the terminal was located.

Li Teng didn't think any more and chose to take out the save file.

He has never failed a plot mission until now!

If you just give up like this, you will really feel unwilling to do so.

When all the zombies were about to surround Li Teng and Nana and tear them into pieces, Li Teng and Nana turned into a white light and disappeared from the place.

All the zombies, all the buildings, everything turned into clouds of gray mist, floating around.

…

Li Teng woke up from his trance.

street.

Li Teng looked around him.

It's Zhang Mengdi.

Zhang Mengdi's body is intact and his legs are not broken.

There is also Nana, who is three and a half years old, and he is holding her little hand.

Zhang Mengdi noticed that Li Teng was looking at her, so he also looked at Li Teng. Her eyes seemed a little strange... Li Teng suddenly looked ten years older?

Li Teng's guess was indeed correct.

Time files are actually plot files.

As long as a nuclear bomb hasn't fallen over the city and destroyed everything, as long as he can find the terminal in time before the nuclear bomb falls, he can take out the archive and start over.

But the price is also high.

Ten years of life.

He can retrieve save files up to five times, right?

Now there are only four left.

This time we must learn from the lessons of the last time and not repeat the same mistakes again.

Find a way to use the man by the bridge to sneak into the camp, and then carry out his previous escape plan.

Although he could go back and start over, Li Teng didn't feel grateful at all.

The difficulty of this plot mission can be said to be hellish. His first experience could not provide him with much help in his subsequent attempts.

He wanted to escape from the city with his family of three. Apart from a rough plan to sneak into the military camp, he had no guarantee of victory.

And once the ten-year life span is invested, if he still cannot successfully complete the plot task the second time, he will definitely continue to pick up files because of his red eyes, or he may be consumed in the script world this time.

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.

Now that he has made his choice, he must bite the bullet and keep going.

A zombie saw a family of three on the street and rushed toward them with a roar.

Li Teng hurriedly rushed over. The steel bars were no longer in his hands, so he could only fight the zombie hand-to-hand.

Soon this zombie was kicked off its legs and neck by Li Teng, but its howling attracted its companions. Seven or eight zombies rushed towards this direction from different directions, surrounding a family of three. .
