Doomsday Wonderland

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 oppressively quiet. The weight of death was heavy on my body, and only the sound of water drop by drop rippled faintly 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 was blood everywhere on the stairs, 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 pieces of 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 face and rolled down the stairs, causing a series of faint sounds. It 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 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. It was destroyed by something so that even its original shape could not be seen. There was not even a place to stay. It was dark everywhere, except at the end of the corridor. It was pierced by a faint yellow light, 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 circle of light, 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 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, his head was long gone.

She exhaled and walked into the room facing the headless body.

The original purpose of this room is completely lost. Cabinets, boxes, curtains and bottles and cans were spread all over the floor. The dead body was leaning on half of the single examination bed, but the other half was missing. Blood, body fluids and feces-like things were splashed on the wall in large areas, and the smell was so strong that it made people dizzy and breathless; but the clothes of the corpse 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 slowly walked towards the corpse holding the flashlight. The aperture projected from the flashlight still silently hit the wall opposite the corridor, but at the brightest place in the center of the aperture, there was now a line of text projected: "The way to survive 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 the "Pure Touch" was always on, so 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 totems.

"It seems like a special item?"

Lin Sanjiu bent down and put his finger on the flashlight. The light was no match for the darkness. In the dim light and shadow, the chest of the headless body just a few feet away from her seemed to be about to start breathing together; The flashlight was withdrawn from the corpse's hand, and as darkness suddenly enveloped it, the hand fell softly to the ground.

"It's 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 usage is half-baked, rather than one special item that has been thoroughly studied. Although she knew this truth very well, her eyes 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 in the ancient Cynthintis culture. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net 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 prompt dead ends and possibilities. The road 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 he felt it was correct. "Then I came in, and a prompt appeared in the aperture."

Teacher Yi said nothing.

"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 see it again. However, since the teacher said so, she followed the instructions and turned the [Ability Polishing Agent] into a card; the room suddenly became 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 road to survival is out there" in the light were once again thrown at the door; 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," she said silently in her mind, moving her feet slowly and silently towards the door. "Before he died, the dead man shined his flashlight toward the door, and his head was removed while maintaining this posture... and the aperture of the flashlight said that the way out is outside..."

So, isn't the room a dead end?

I’m too sleepy, I’ll talk about the thank you list tomorrow. I’ve drawn up a vague outline, and I’m still short of an ending to the book.
