Tokyo underground city

Chapter 54 Salt-Cabin No. 101

Lin Huaien forcefully moved away the fossil obstacle, revealing the leftmost passage.

Compared with the gates outside the Yan 10 shelter, the internal access gates are even more "petite". They are only about 1.5 times the size of a normal apartment door, 1.5 meters wide and 3 meters high, a bit like the cabin door on a spaceship.

However, the construction and design style of the passage gate are full of fantasy elements, with rounded edges and corners, artistic patterns, and a silvery gray color throughout.

The passage gate on the far left has been damaged. On the door with a large hole smashed open, a pattern with reading and writing meaning can still be seen vaguely. Lin Huai'en read its meaning softly:

"Salt-cabin 101."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Huai'en checked the other two passage gates in the rotunda. Except for one passage gate that was sealed tightly by a lot of debris, the other passage gate was still intact. Without the authentication key, it could not be used. make life difficult for.

Lin Huai'en tried the eyeball amulet on his hand again, but this time the iris verification did not respond at all and failed.

There was no other way, Lin Huai'en could only take Coco and enter cabin 101.

Entering the cabin, Lin Huaien looked at the hall in front of him with some surprise.

The interior space here is very much like a villa, with a double-storey ceiling hall.

Although the area is only over 100 square meters, the layout is very reasonable. It can be seen that the hall was originally stacked with some living room supplies such as sofas and seats, but now it was empty with only some sundries left.

As for where they all went, the messy tables, chairs and benches outside Cabin 101 can probably give Lin Huaien an answer.

"Barricade? Fighting with weapons?"

Lin Huaien looked at the weapons that looked like homemade spears piled up in the entrance hall and made a bold guess.

"It should be that after taking refuge for a long time, they fell into a dilemma of lack of supplies, so they had to form multiple forces centered on the cabin, fighting each other to compete for each other's survival resources."

Lin Huai'en kicked the pile of empty cans beside his feet. These things should be deliberately stacked here to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks, so that whenever someone comes in, they will step on the cans and alert the guards.

"The bad premonition is getting stronger and stronger..."

Lin Huai'en murmured softly and explored the first floor of Room 101.

The first floor should be the public space of Cabin 101. There is a small entertainment room, a kitchen, a storage room, and a laundry room. There is no toilet or bathroom, but there is a glass greenhouse filled with flower pots and crystal lamps. .

In addition to the glass greenhouse, Lin Huai'en also found a basement under the kitchen. There was equipment similar to a water purifier in it, but the shell was taken apart and discarded there. The equipment inside was scattered on the floor and looked damaged. .

"There is no one on the first floor. Except for a few plants in the greenhouse, all the flower pots have been dug out. Except for the soil, all the plants in the flower bed, from the trunk to the roots, are gone..."

"The kitchen sink was full of black stains, and I couldn't tell what they were. The kitchen knife was full of chips and was still in the sink. Instead, there was a steel pipe like a water pipe, also dirty, on the chopping board. It was resting on it, dusty and a little bent.”

As for the empty storage room and entertainment room, there is nothing to talk about. The laundry room is full of dirty clothes, both men and women, but the most common ones are sportswear and sweatpants that look like work clothes, all piled in the laundry room. , exuding a musty smell.

It shattered at the slightest touch.

"That's right. The water purifier is broken. Where can we get clean water to wash clothes..."

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien subconsciously took out his water bottle and took a sip to relieve the feeling of congestion in his throat.

After checking the first floor, he continued to explore the second floor.

The second floor is the living area.

He counted and found that there were five rooms on the second floor. Each room was about 20 square meters, enough to accommodate a double bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, a dry and wet bathroom and a children's room. .

He opened the first stall closest to the stairs, frowning at the stains on the porch.

After entering the room, the black stains became even more severe. There were spots almost everywhere in the room. The most common ones were on the bed, which had been connected to the sheets and turned into a black rag.

However, there was no body in the room, so it must have been disposed of.

"...The resident in Room 1 of Cabin 101 was probably murdered."

Lin Huai'en observed the stains in the room and came to a conclusion.

Room No. 1 is closest to the corridor. It is conceivable that if an external attacker sneaks into Cabin 101 at night, the unlucky guy in Cabin 1 will be the first to bear the brunt.

"However, because of this, he should have died relatively early. I don't know whether I should say he was lucky or unfortunate..."

Of course, maybe it’s not “him” but “them”.

Lin Huai'en looked at the children's room. There was no blood there, only some sundries piled up.

"There are also some blood stains in Room 2, but not much, mainly on the bed."

Seeing the marks on the bed, Lin Huai'en almost immediately deduced the truth: "The owner of this room should be a single middle-aged man. The living environment is simple and somewhat dirty, and he has obvious characteristics of a single man."

"The blood stains on the bed are mainly located in the abdominal cavity. This position is fatal enough, but it does not cause immediate death. Therefore, he should have been stabbed in the abdomen during the fight below, and then carried to his room by his companions. Died in bed."

This single man may be the backbone of many people, or he may be a person that others hate... But no matter what, when he died, there must be many companions around him, making him feel like a hero Such happiness...

Lin Huai'en gently closed the door of room No. 2.

The door of Room 3 was locked tightly, but Coco was lying at the door with a vigilant look on her face, screaming continuously at the inside.

"The two monsters that escaped... are probably in this room..."

Lin Huai'en silently pulled out the Gray Green Fury and saw the yellow mucus dripping from the door of Room 3, which was exactly the same as the body fluid dripping from the black smoke monster.

And it's still fresh.

Lin Huai'en has seen the tragic scenes in the shelter hall and cabin 101, and he can no longer feel any disgust or horror towards these monsters covered in black smoke.

He could only feel a sense of pity.

He felt that he had reached a conclusion about the truth about the black smoke monster.

As a man-eating monster, burdened with the curse of the eaten, he cannot even have peace after death...

"For them, death is a kind of happiness..."

Lin Huai'en opened the door with force, and the black smoke monster lurking inside rushed towards him. He stabbed his cheek with his backhand and nailed it to the ceiling.

"There's one more."

From the previous behavior of the two monsters, Lin Huaien believed that they knew each other.

"Are they a couple? Or a brother and sister?"

He pulled out the gray fury nailed to the ceiling, and the monster's body fell down, revealing its skinny body under the black smoke.

Even the eyes and nose are gone. Is it to reduce consumption?

Lin Huaien guessed subconsciously.

Otherwise, even the cursed undead should not be able to survive such a long period of time with their own magic power alone.

Lin Huai'en kicked open the door and shortened the long sword in his hand slightly. His confidence in continuously killing the black smoke monster made him feel that just using a one-handed side sword was enough to deal with the remaining black smoke monster.

But Lin Huaien didn't find it in the master bedroom. Instead, its roar came from the children's room.

Lin Huai'en's heart tightened and he pushed open the door of the children's room with some heaviness.

The monster huddled in the corner, looking at Lin Huaien who pushed open the door, and kept howling at him. Behind it, there was a small skeleton, holding a worn backpack, with a faded The rags were barely recognizable as fragments of a dress.

Lin Huai'en rushed in and split the black smoke monster's head with a sword.

Let its life stop at this moment.

It was difficult for Lin Huai'en to explain clearly how he felt when he struck down the sword.

It is a kind of complexity that cannot be explained.

But there was only one thing he knew very well.

That was the determination he felt from his actions.

Lin Huaien wrapped his palms in a towel, dragged the hostess's body out of the room, and placed it side by side with the monster corpses outside. Then he re-entered the children's room and picked up the backpack from the little girl's skeleton.

Before cutting open the black smoke monster's head, Lin Huai'en realized that this leather bag was different.

Under the squeeze of the black smoke monster, the clothes on the fossilized bones turned into rags, but only the backpack remained relatively intact.

There must be something incredible about it.

Lin Huai'en opened his backpack and was stunned for a moment.

There were only two things in his palm-sized backpack, a small diary, and——

A piece of white paper folded into several layers.

"Is this... sheepskin?"

Lin Huai'en spread out the parchment and opened the properties panel casually and looked at it.

But in an instant, he took a deep breath——

[Children's backpack (red, faded)]

[Backpack: 2 liters. 】

[Performance: unknown]

.

[Diary (red)]

[Book: 20/52 pages]

[Status: Destroyed]

.

【Someone's skin】

【Map/Amulet】

[Performance: Thinking Memory +0.5]

[Skill: Activating Map]

[Activated map: Using the special prop "someone's index finger", you can automatically draw a map of the space within a radius of 10 meters on "someone's human skin". 】

Seeing that the parchment-like thing in his hand was actually skin, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

Except for "someone's skin", the other two items are not cursed equipment, so Lin Huaien cannot see their attributes.

But leaving the "diary" aside, he was certain that at least the "children's backpack" should also be a relic of at least level three.

Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why everything decayed, but only this backpack and the two items in it survived.
