Lin Sanjiu originally wanted to call out [Ability Polishing Agent], but she paused when she heard the distant, slight echo of water droplets.
The whole building was depressingly quiet. The weight of death was pressing heavily on me. Only the sound of water drop by drop rippled quietly in the silent darkness.
...The head had been separated from the body for a long time, and it looked unrealistically gray in the dim light. After Lin Sanjiu's vision adapted to the darkness, the details of the surrounding environment gradually became apparent. There were everywhere on the stairs.
It was all blood, like a dark waterfall flowing down layer by layer; half of the handrail was missing, and the hanging sign was lying on the ground among broken masonry and glass.
This is not so much a medical station as a battlefield.
She turned on "Pure Touch" and listened attentively for a while, then silently picked up a piece of broken glass and gently threw it at the man's head. The glass bounced off the skin of the man's face and rolled down the stairs, triggering a series of
There was a slight noise. That was indeed a dead human head, and the thick fishy smell in the air did not come from iron.
Lin Sanjiu turned sideways, walked up from the dead man's head, and quietly climbed up to the second floor step by step along the edge of the stairs. The corridor seemed to have been trampled by a group of mammoths, and something had destroyed the original structure.
The shape could not be discerned, and there was not even a place to stay; the surroundings were dark, only punctured by a faint yellow light at the end of the corridor, which seemed to be the aperture of a flashlight.
She approached the room, leaned against the wall and took a quick glance inside. She was suddenly surprised - a person was sitting on the ground facing the door, holding the flashlight in his hand; before she quickly looked away
, I only had time to see clearly one thigh wrapped in jeans in the aperture, and the rest was hidden in the darkness beyond the light.
Is it someone from the medical station?
Lin Sanjiu did not ask questions out loud, but instead slowly poked her head out again amid doubts. This time she squinted her eyes and looked carefully into the darkness behind the aperture for a while.
...Sure enough, the shoulders of the man holding the flashlight were empty, and his head had long been gone.
She exhaled and walked into the room facing the headless body.
The original purpose of this room has been completely lost. Cabinets, boxes, curtains and bottles and cans are spread all over the floor. The dead body is leaning on half of the single examination beds, but the other half is missing.
Traces of blood, body fluids and feces-like things were splashed on the wall in large areas. The smell was so strong that it made people dizzy and breathless. However, the clothes of the dead body were still well worn, let alone the wounds.
Lin Sanjiu just stood not far from the door of the room, glanced inside a few times, then couldn't stay any longer, turned around and was about to exit - but as soon as she turned around, she saw the light of the flashlight falling on the corpse.
She was stunned for a moment.
"Just before I came in..." She asked Teacher Yi in a low voice, "Is that aperture like this?"
"How is that possible?" Teacher Yi murmured.
Indeed, if a line of words had appeared in the aperture before she came in, she would have discovered it long ago.
Full of suspicion, Lin Sanjiu walked slowly towards the corpse holding the flashlight. The circle of light projected from the flashlight still hit the wall opposite the corridor quietly, but it was the brightest place in the center of the circle.
, at this moment there is a projection of a line of text: "The way out is out there."
It looked as if someone had cut out a line of words out of paper and placed it in front of the flashlight.
It had only been a little over half a minute since she came in, and "Pure Touch" had been on all the time. She never noticed anything strange. She was the only one here from beginning to end, so...
"It must be this flashlight." Lin Sanjiu stopped next to the corpse. His eyes avoided the broken neck and fell on the flashlight in the corpse's hand.
If you look closely, you can see that it looks very different from an ordinary flashlight. On the same cylindrical body, this flashlight is covered with complex and strange lines, as well as some abstracted human faces, scepters and
Animal totem.
"It seems to be a special item?"
Lin Sanjiu bent down and put her finger on the flashlight. The light was no match for the darkness. In the dim light and shadow, the headless body just a few feet away from her seemed to be breathing together.
She couldn't help but feel a little hairy all over her body, and she hurriedly pulled the flashlight that had been turned into a card out of the corpse's hand. When darkness suddenly enveloped her, the hand fell softly to the ground.
"It's really true!" Teacher Yi raised his voice slightly and sighed: "You haven't gotten a special item in a long time."
“Bite off more than you can chew,”
In the darkness, Lin Sanjiu took a step back, a little further away from the body. She responded to Teacher Yi smoothly, called out [Ability Polishing Agent], and used its silver light to carefully look at the card in her hand.
There are ten special items whose uses are half-baked, but it is better to have one special item that has been thoroughly studied. Although she knew this truth very well, her eyes still couldn't help but light up when she saw the contents of the card.
She needs this item so much! No, maybe it should be said that no one in the apocalyptic world does not need it, right?
【Guiding flashlight】
This flashlight is blessed with the mysterious sacrificial power of the ancient Cynthintis culture, and can pray for blessings and avoid disasters for the user; specifically, it uses the light of the flashlight to point out the way to life, warn of dead ends, and indicate dead ends and possible paths to gain.
How to use: When the user is in trouble, please turn on the flashlight and follow the pointing in the flashlight aperture.
"I understand. There was no living person in this room just now, so there were no words in the aperture of the flashlight." The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more correct it became. "Then I came in, and a prompt appeared in the aperture."
Teacher Yi didn't say anything.
"Did you hear that? Why didn't you speak?"
"Let me tell you," Teacher Yi said hesitantly, "Try turning the [Ability Polishing Agent] into a card again...this time look at its card content."
She had seen this card countless times, and Lin Sanjiu really didn't understand why she needed to read it again. However, since the teacher said so, she followed the instructions and turned the [Ability Polishing Agent] into a card;
Suddenly it was dark again. The darkness filled with pungent smell really made her very uncomfortable, so she immediately lit up the [Guide Flashlight] again.
The four words "The way out is out there" in the light were thrown at the door again; Lin Sanjiu was about to use the light to lower his head to read the content of the [Ability Polishing Agent] card, when suddenly all the hairs on his body stood up, as if someone had poured water on his head.
A basin of ice water.
"Wait a minute," she said silently in her mind, moving her feet slowly and silently towards the door. "Before dying, this dead man shined a flashlight toward the door, and maintained this position while his head was removed.
…And the flashlight’s aperture says there is a way out…”
So, isn't the room a dead end?
I'm too sleepy. Let's talk about the thank you list tomorrow. I've drawn up a vague outline and still have a short ending to the book.
