8 Freeze the Furious Fire

Chapter 8 Freeze the Furious Fire The zombies ran ahead. The darkness didn't bother them at all. Malia kept shining her light for the living. Then the ferrets burst into the tunnel behind them! Flames lit up the air like the sun! "Faster!" Dante shouted. He noticed that Big Brother and Cousin had backpacks on. Sister and Little Brother were carrying bags with metal parts sticking out of them. "Do y'all have fire extinguishers?" Dante asked. Sister looked back at him. "To fight the Cozamah?" "That means the Furious Fire," Big Brother said, pointing behind them. "And no. We've searched everywhere. No fire extinguishers."

第八章 浇灭怒焰 僵尸们跑在前面。 黑暗一点都没给他们造成困扰。 玛利亚一直举着灯为活人照亮前路。 紧接着一群雪貂猛地冲进了他们身后的隧道！ 火焰像太阳一样把空气都烧得亮堂堂的！ “快点！” 但丁大喊道。 他注意到大哥和表哥都背着背包。 姐姐和弟弟手里拎的袋子露着金属零件。 “你们都带灭火器了吗？” 但丁问道。 姐姐回头看向他。 “用来对付科扎玛？” “就是怒焰的意思。”大哥指着他们身后说道。 “没有哦。 我们到处都找过了。 没找到灭火器。”

The yowling, hissing, and hot flames of the Furious Fire kept everyone scrambling for cover. Just as it seemed the wicked weasels would catch them, the group reached another ladder. Climbing up, they entered a huge, gloomy warehouse. There were big shelving units that divided part of the space into separate areas. Dante thought this must be where the zombie family lived.

怒焰的嚎叫、嘶嘶声和滚烫的火舌逼得所有人都慌忙找地方躲避。 就在这些坏雪貂眼看要追上他们的时候，一行人跑到了另一架梯子旁。 他们爬了上去，进到一个又大又暗的仓库里。 仓库里有高大的货架，把一部分空间隔成了一个个独立的区域。 但丁觉得这儿肯定就是这户僵尸人家住的地方。

Father slammed the trapdoor shut. "Big Brother, flood the tunnel!" Against the wall was a huge pipe with a red valve wheel attached. Big Brother grabbed the wheel and spun it hard. There was a loud groan and then: WHOOSH! The sound of rushing water came from beneath their feet. "You sure this will work?" asked Dante.

爸爸“砰”的一声把活板门关上了。 “大哥，把隧道灌满水！” 墙边靠着一根巨大的管道，上面装着一个红色的阀门转轮。 大哥抓住转轮，使劲转了起来。 先是传来一声沉闷的声响，紧接着：哗啦！ 他们脚底下传来了水流奔涌的声音。 “你确定这有用吗？”但丁问道。

"We flood the tunnels all the time," Cousin explained. "Makes it easier to catch the rats." "Gross! Why are you catching rats?" Dante stared at the zombie boy. "To eat them, obviously," Cousin replied. Dante felt sick to his stomach. "Hey," said Big Brother, laying his leathery hand

“我们经常把隧道灌满水呀。”表哥解释道。 “这样抓老鼠更方便。” “好恶心！ 你们抓老鼠干嘛呀？” 但丁盯着这个僵尸男孩看。 “当然是吃啦。”表哥回答道。 但丁觉得胃里一阵翻江倒海。 “嘿。”大哥开口说道，一边把他粗糙的手

on Dante's head. "Could be worse. We could eat brains." The Undead Folk laughed. "That," Susana announced, "was not funny."

放在但丁的头上。 “本来还能更糟呢。 我们本来可以吃脑子的呀。” 这些亡灵族人都笑了起来。 “这一点都不好笑。”苏珊娜严肃地说道。
