Chapter 90: Xiao Fen’s Struggle.
Just as the glass of the gate sealing the 1st floor was smashed open, a strong stench poured out from this sealed building. Accompanying this gas were the inarticulate voices of those humans gathered at the entrance.
“Save me!”
“Kill me!”
“Kill them, they have already been infected!”
“I want to kill you, why did you come at this time?”
Various roars constantly rang in Xiao Fen’s ears. In addition, a few lives that still maintained a human shape took out guns and wanted to open fire on Xiao Fen.
For these roars and actions, Xiao Fen did only one thing. He raised his pistol and fired in turn at the lives behind the glass. In less than 10 seconds, the two pistols in his hand had emptied the bullets in the magazines.
Before Xiao Fen’s eyes, the shouting decreased a lot. Occasionally, some crying sounds were mixed in, some from women, some from men, and some from children.
“Why? Why didn’t you come to save us?”
A child’s tender voice sounded behind the door. Following this voice, Xiao Fen looked up and glanced at the other party. A girl about five or six years old was holding a decaying cloth doll rabbit, looking at herself calmly.
After 30 years, the cloth doll rabbit was close to rotting, but its owner still maintained the age of five or six. This itself was already very bizarre.
Even without looking at the cloth doll rabbit that was about to rot, as long as one looked at the mold flagella constantly trembling on the girl’s head, one could know that this girl was no longer a Human, but an out-and-out Mutated Creature.
Xiao Fen reloaded the bullets and said in a low voice, “I am here to save you, to save you from this life-worse-than-death environment, so that you won’t eventually become monsters without self.”
“I don’t understand. Then, let me ask another question. After we die, can we go to the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Xiao Fen paused, wiped his eye sockets with his palm, and answered, “Of course, good children will go to the Kingdom of Heaven.”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at another place, fired his gun continuously at the front, and after a few minutes, until all the sounds behind the glass door stopped, he then turned around to look ahead.
A mess of corpses, those crying, angry, desperate, and painful lives have all returned to the embrace of death. They no longer need that pain, and despair has left their side.
Xiao Fen let out a long breath, replaced a new magazine, slowly walked toward the gate, grabbed the edge of the glass door, shrank and bounced his body, and jumped into this building from the gap in the glass door.
A hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Fen’s foot. It was the girl from just now. Although the bullet had pierced her chest, she didn’t look in pain. Looking at Xiao Fen, she still calmly asked, “Can we go to the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Xiao Fen squatted down, closed the girl’s eyes with his hand, and said in a low voice, “Yes, you can. I believe this.”
The girl didn’t continue to speak. After a while, Xiao Fen raised his palm. The girl had stopped breathing. On her face, a relieved smile emerged.
Xiao Fen looked at the child’s beautiful face and those mold flagella, was quiet for a while, looked up and let out a low roar, like a wounded beast. After this roar, Xiao Fen’s eyes became much clearer.
These scenes might never happen in the Real World. To avoid these scenes repeating in the Real World, that was the responsibility of the Awakened. If he could become a qualified Awakened, Xiao Fen would avoid this situation no matter what.
He fumbled around, picked up two key Crystals from the ground, thought for a moment, and without a backpack, he casually threw the two brass key Crystals back.
Then Xiao Fen raised his head, looked around, and said in a low voice, “Damn bastard, I’m coming. No one is here to settle the sins of this time with you, so let me do it. I will let you know what true life-worse-than-death is. I want to return all those human pains to you.”
The air in the building suddenly changed slightly. It felt as if, somewhere in the building, a huge body was sneering because of Xiao Fen’s words.
Xiao Fen gripped his pistol tightly, turned and walked toward the left side of this building.
Like all old buildings from the 1970s and 1980s, this building had only one dilapidated elevator. However, the elevator was now covered with flagella. That might be the result of the mutant body fluid dripping here and slowly growing.
Xiao Fen did not intend to take such an elevator.
He turned around on the 1st floor and saw a passage leading to the basement in an inconspicuous place. This passage was heavily blocked by several iron fences, but it didn’t look like there was anything decaying. Maybe before this, someone used to clean this passage often.
If there used to be an underground power station here, at least this power station had stopped being used now.
Xiao Fen couldn’t judge how long ago this power station was decommissioned, but considering the situation in Bofu Castle, it was estimated that these mutant lives were preparing to use the power resources there after occupying Komsomolsk-33, so the time this power station stopped operating was not long.
Xiao Fen thought for a moment, looked up at the upstairs. There, the sound of water droplets came faintly. In addition, there were some slight disturbing sounds. It sounded as if a person was walking on tiptoe on the 2nd floor or higher floors.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fen strode up.
However, although his movements were large, he was still very cautious. All his perceptions were fully spread out, and everything happening in the entire stairway began to form a three-dimensional image in his mind.
There was no problem until the 3rd floor. The real sound disturbance came from the 4th floor. There seemed to be a soft thing constantly brushing there, resulting in a “rustling” sound similar to a clear breeze by the sea.
“Monster, I’m coming.”
Xiao Fen said in a low voice, and his body suddenly exerted force and ran continuously. In less than 2 minutes, he had already rushed to the stairs of the 4th floor.
He stood there. Before his eyes were corpses hanging upside down. The corpses had been air-dried, and only their long hair kept sweeping the ground.
On the upside-down faces of these corpses, each wore a weird smile.
Even though their skin was completely withered and their whole bodies were severely shrunk, this smile was still weirdly maintained, as if it had been fixed.
There were a total of 10 steps going up from the half-landing of the 3rd floor to the 4th floor. Beside each step hung such a corpse upside down, which looked more like a demonstration to those who came.
