7 Rooftop Run

Chapter 7 Rooftop Run "Defeat them? That's crazy! We're just three kids," Malia said. "They're like, huge flying rats!" Ivan stood. "We don't have any weapons. I even lost my flippers running from those bad-breath bats." Dante gave a nervous laugh. "I don't think it would have helped." Yoliya smiled. "That's why you have to go to the Depot of the Dead." Dante gulped. Ivan's eyes opened wide. Malia sighed. "Doesn't sound like a place we want to visit." "The storekeeper has lots of amazing things on his shelves," Yoliya explained. "I'm sure you can find something to fight the Snatch Bats with."

第七章 屋顶狂奔 “打败他们？ 这也太疯狂了！ 我们只是三个小孩子呀。” 玛丽亚说。 “它们就像是巨型飞天老鼠！” 伊万站了起来。 “我们什么武器都没有。 刚才我逃那些口臭蝙蝠的时候，脚蹼都跑丢了。” 但丁紧张地笑了笑。 “我觉得就算脚蹼没丢也没用。” 优莉娅笑了。 “所以你们得去亡者补给站呀。” 但丁倒吸了一口凉气。 伊万的眼睛瞪得溜圆。 玛丽亚叹了口气。 “听起来就不是我们该去的地方。” “那儿的店主架子上摆着好多神奇的好东西，” 优莉娅解释道， “你们肯定能找到能对付掠抢蝙蝠的东西。”

Dante snapped his fingers. "Just like a video game. We go in, find what we need." Ivan nodded. "Then we buy it!" Malia shook her head. "We don't have any money." "Okay, then we trade for it!" Ivan said. "Trade what? Your snorkel?" Malia asked. Yoliya interrupted. "Just tell him I sent you. He'll make a deal." Malia turned to the door and looked through the peephole.

但丁打了个响指。 “就跟电子游戏里一样呀。 我们进去，找到我们需要的东西。” 伊万点点头。 “然后我们付钱买！” 玛丽亚摇了摇头。 “我们身上一分钱都没有。” “好吧，那我们就用东西换！” 伊万说。 “换什么？ 换你的呼吸管吗？” 玛丽亚问。 优莉娅打断了他们。 “你们就说是我让你们去的。 他会和你们做交易的。” 玛丽亚走到门边，透过猫眼往外看。

The Snatch Bats were flying around outside. Waiting. "Tell me there's another way to this Depot of the Dead," Malia said. Yoliya shrugged. "I just walk through the walls." Malia rolled her eyes. "Not an option." "Is there a back door?" Dante asked. "No," said Yoliya. "But you can go to the roof. The depot's only three buildings down. You can jump from roof to roof!" "But the bats might attack!" Dante complained. "They won't expect us up there," Ivan promised. Yoliya rushed up the stairs. Ivan and Malia

掠抢蝙蝠正在外面飞来飞去。 等着他们出去。 “告诉我还有别的路能去那个亡者补给站。” 玛丽亚说。 优莉娅耸了耸肩。 “我直接穿墙过去就行。” 玛丽亚翻了个白眼。 “我们可做不到。” “这儿有后门吗？” 但丁问。 “没有。” 优莉娅说， “但你们可以去屋顶呀。 补给站就在前面三栋楼的位置。 你们可以从一个屋顶跳到另一个屋顶！” 可蝙蝠说不定会攻击我们呀！” 但丁抱怨道。 “它们肯定想不到我们会在屋顶上。” 伊万打包票说。 优莉娅快步跑上楼梯。 伊万和玛丽亚

followed. The choice was made. There were three floors, and then a few more steps to the roof. The cousins stood under the gloomy sky. It was filled with a dark mist. "Okay," Yoliya said, standing nearby. "It was good meeting you. I hope you make it out. If not, come visit me. It gets lonely here." The door shut. It had the same strange symbol as the front entrance.

跟了上去。 已经没有别的选择了。 爬了三层楼，再走几步就到了屋顶。 三个表兄妹站在阴沉的天空下。 天上弥漫着一层黑雾。 “好啦，” 优莉娅站在旁边说， “很高兴认识你们。 希望你们能顺利逃出去。 要是没成功，就回来找我玩呀。 我在这儿可孤单了。” 门关上了。 门上印着和正门一模一样的奇怪符号。

The cousins reached the edge of the roof. The next roof was pressed right against it. No gap. But it was a little lower. They climbed quietly over the edge and dropped to the flat, dirty surface of the second roof. A Snatch Bat popped through the strange gray sky. Right out of thin air!

三个表兄妹走到了屋顶边缘。 旁边的屋顶和这个屋顶紧紧挨着。 一点空隙都没有。 就是稍微矮了一点。 他们轻轻翻过边缘，落到了第二个屋顶平坦又脏兮兮的表面上。 一只掠抢蝙蝠忽然从诡异的灰天空里钻了出来。 就这么凭空冒出来了！
