Looking at this inconspicuous wooden house, Lin Cheng curled his lips and muttered to himself, then turned around and walked towards the wooden house.
"Brother Lin, are you... in trouble?"
Seeing Lin Cheng's actions, Bearded Beard was about to ask him what was wrong, but suddenly his heart moved and he realized that the other party must have discovered something abnormal!
"Well, come with me."
Nodding, and waiting for everyone to follow, Lin Cheng walked to the wooden house. Looking at the wooden house with most of the doors blocked by snow, he directly imagined an ice knife and poked at the exposed half of the door panel.
!
"laugh--"
With a soft sound, the seemingly thick wooden door was instantly pierced by an ice knife. Following the hole poked out, Lin Cheng controlled the ice knife to open a round hole in the door, and then motioned to everyone.
Staying where he was, he bent down and got in through the hole.
After jumping into the wooden house, Lin Cheng glanced at the furnishings in the house and saw that all the objects in the house were arranged fairly neatly and there were no signs of being attacked by monsters. Then he nodded slightly, took out his flashlight and started to
The rooms were searched.
The wooden house was divided into two floors. The first floor area was about 70 square meters. It only took a few minutes for Lin Cheng to search the entire house with a flashlight, but no survivors were found.
"Could it be that he's underground again?"
Finding no survivors, Lin Cheng returned to the living room where he first entered, frowned and glanced around a few times, muttering to himself.
"How's it going? Did you find someone?"
Seeing Lin Cheng frowning and standing in a daze in the living room, Bai Ling, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, couldn't help but ask him.
"Not yet."
Shaking his head, Lin Cheng squatted down and started groping on the floor.
In fact, since the end of the world, he has met many survivors who have built shelters underground. After all, the above-ground buildings are too conspicuous. Even a candle can illuminate a great distance at night, which is far inferior to underground shelters.
Hidden security.
But this town is too close to the Black Leaf Forest. A normal person would have chosen to leave here long ago. It is impossible to stay here for a long time. Even if there are survivors staying here, it will be difficult to dig it out again if there are not enough manpower.
A new underground shelter.
"Does this house have a basement?"
After thinking about it, Lin Cheng felt that this option was the only one that was more reliable, but the problem was that he had already searched the entire house just now and did not see any passage leading to the basement.
"You guys stay on guard outside, this house is a bit strange, I have to search it carefully again."
After returning to the living room and saying a few words to the people outside, Lin Cheng frowned and returned to the stairs again, holding up a flashlight and scanning back and forth on the wall beside him.
The noise he made when he searched this house just now was not too small, and coupled with the noise made by everyone searching outside before, as long as there are living people here, they will definitely hear these noises.
And he didn't think he was hallucinating just now. Almost half of this town was covered by heavy snow. They hadn't heard any movement since they arrived here. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as dead silence. In this situation,
Next, to what extent does Lin Cheng, who has let go of his six senses, have to be confused to have auditory hallucinations?
So to sum up, there are definitely survivors in this house. However, perhaps because they are worried that their group has bad intentions, or they simply regard them as monsters that accidentally broke into the town, these survivors did not show up.
Meaning, even the sound of breathing was temporarily held, giving Lin Cheng and the others no chance to find shelter.
"Dong dong dong——"
After knocking hard on the wooden wall next to the stairwell a few times, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shook his head when he heard a solid muffled sound coming from inside, feeling a little helpless.
He searched every place he could think of in this room several times, but still found no trace of survivors. As for the basement or something, he just took out the Soul-Severing Sword and opened a hole in the floor with a sudden heart, but he still found no trace of survivors.
I found that the floor of this house was actually solid, and there was no basement at all.
Seeing that Lin Cheng had tried so hard but still found nothing, Bai Ling suddenly jumped in from the hole, pointed his index finger towards the sky, and asked, "Have you searched the second floor?"
"What do you think?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, "Sister, although I haven't found anything so far, don't treat me like a retard, okay?"
After being scolded by Lin Cheng, Bai Ling did not get angry with him, but asked calmly: "I mean, have you searched the entire second floor including the ceiling?"
Seeing Bai Ling suddenly lift the ceiling, Lin Cheng rolled his eyes at her again and said, "What's there to search in the ceiling? Could it be possible that those survivors can still be hidden in the ceiling..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake!
Since he grew up in China, and most of the houses in China, especially the new ones, have flat roofs, Lin Cheng has never considered the roof. After all, no matter how thin a person is, he cannot live in a narrow place.
Survive in the ceiling.
But the problem is that this is not China. Most of the house structures in this Eros town have spires. In addition to the normal first and second floors, there is actually an attic room that can barely be regarded as the third floor. It is just because of the snow.
Covered with snow, the spiers that should have been very conspicuous were all buried by the snow, which made Lin Cheng neglect to notice this for a moment.
This kind of attic is not suitable for people to live in because the space is relatively narrow and closed, so it is basically used by the homeowners to store various sundries. Generally, special stairs are not built. If you want to go up, you have to hang one from the ceiling.
Stepladder, or just take a ladder up from the second floor.
"How stupid!"
After Bai Ling mentioned this, Lin Cheng realized how stupid he had been just now. He couldn't help but cursed secretly, and without bothering to talk to Bai Ling, he turned around and ran towards the second floor.
"Hey, what are you in a hurry for?"
Seeing Lin Cheng turn around and run away, Bai Ling called him quickly. Seeing that he ignored her, he could only tell the bearded man and Anfiya at the entrance to guard the door, and then followed Lin Cheng to the second floor.
As soon as she reached the second floor, Anfiya discovered that Lin Cheng was carrying a refrigerator towards the stairs. When he saw her coming up, he placed the refrigerator directly in front of her, pointed at the ceiling above her head and said to her:
"Well, this should be the entrance to the attic, right?"
Following Lin Cheng's finger, Bai Ling looked up and saw a wooden door whose color almost blended into the ceiling. It could only allow one person to pass through. It was tightly covering the ceiling. Due to the weak light in the room,
If Lin Cheng hadn't specifically pointed it out to her, she would have hardly noticed it even after walking around for a few times. (To be continued)
