Chapter 29: The second story Dangerous Building (28)

Views:

The old lunatic Bu Gong Bu Qin was in a frantic state. He didn't even ask if it was dangerous outside the water outlet, and actually jumped out right after him. Ren Zhifei saw clearly that time. The old madman was like a black cat. He disappeared out of the cave entrance before falling in mid-air.

"What's going on?" Ren Zhifei felt uneasy and stopped at the water outlet. He silently calculated the distance he had run along the way and guessed that he was now outside the city. However, when he looked outside, he did not see the countryside outside the city that he expected. The world outside was empty except for a vast expanse of red. The black cat and the old madman were nowhere to be found.

"What on earth is that?" All this completely subverted Ren Zhifei's understanding. He even doubted whether the East Waterway was a passage to another world, otherwise he really couldn't think of any other explanation. He began to worry about the safety of the old madman, but soon he realized that since the black cat often passed there, it meant that there was no danger in going out there, and the old madman was safe. As for what you will encounter after going out, only God and the black cat know.

Ren Zhifei took a few deep breaths, finally made up his mind and jumped out.

The red light occupied his field of vision, and Ren Zhifei felt as if he was in the water, unable to feel whether he was sinking or rising, as if there was nothing in that space except red light, and even gravity no longer existed.

That feeling didn't last long, and after the red light passed, I couldn't even see the darkness. When Ren Zhifei felt gravity again, his whole body suddenly fell eastward. With a muffled sound mixed with a cry of pain, Ren Zhifei finally landed. To be precise, it did not fall on the ground. The east side of the body was soft and warm, and had a strong and pungent odor.

"Did he fall into the manure pit?" Ren Zhifei was more frightened than before. He soon realized that yes, the cry of pain just now was not made by himself. Could it be that the manure pit was very good at shutting up. After experiencing the bizarre events of those few days, Ren Zhifei felt that his imagination had surpassed the realm of imagination.

"My uncle is a cesspit! No, I'm the boss!"

That voice was so familiar to Bu Nao. It was the old madman being suppressed by Ren Zhifei.

Ren Zhifei quickly left the old madman's body, then remembered what they were doing, and asked, "Where is the black cat?"

The old lunatic grunted a few times before sighing: "I ran away a long time ago! I lost the pursuit again that time."

Ren Zhifei didn't think so. The experience just now made him feel that things had made new progress. He tried to observe the surrounding environment and murmured, "Maybe not..."

As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Ren Zhifei found that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar. The old madman rubbed his waist and stood up shakily, showing the same puzzled expression. The dilapidated walls and cement pillars support the wide space, and a trace of dust is carried by the wind through it, like a gray ghost, and the air exudes the smell of decay and decay.

"Is that there..." The old madman suddenly fell silent because he heard several shadows emerging from behind the pillars not far ahead and moving towards that direction. Ren Zhifei also noticed it and shouted in a stern voice: "Who is that person!"

"Zhifei?" A familiar voice sounded in front of him. When he got closer, Ren Zhifei discovered that the wrong party was actually Lang Zhijia! Next to him stood three strangers with different appearances.

Ren Zhifei was overjoyed to see his friend again. At the same time, a thought came to his mind: "I appeared there, could it be there..."

"Dangerous building!" The old madman said in a deep voice, "The black cat actually led them into the dangerous building!"

Ren Zhifei saw the corridor in the distance and was almost certain that he was in the lobby of a certain floor of the dangerous building. Looking at Lang Zhijia at this time, his face was bloodless. As he got closer, he could feel Ye Chang's overwhelming coldness, just like the Li Changhong he met that day. The other three were also like this. They looked gloomy and decadent, as if their whole bodies had been smeared with a layer of gray. Their identities are self-evident, whether they are prisoners trapped in a dangerous building. What caught the eye was one of the tall men, who looked to be in his forties, with a pair of fierce eyes.

The tall man asked: "It doesn't look like a scavenger. Who are we? Why are we there?"

The blunt tone of the wrong party made Ren Zhifei feel uncomfortable, and the old madman even snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to answer the wrong party. The atmosphere between the two parties became awkward. Fortunately, Lang Zhijia came forward to smooth things over. He walked forward and asked, "Is the eleventh floor of the dangerous building there? How did we get here?"

Ren Zhifei smiled bitterly and explained: "It's a long story..."

While he was shutting up, there was a commotion in the corridor. A thin prisoner ran out of the corridor and shouted to them in a panic: "They suddenly appeared on the ninth floor! Li Changhong and the others have been wiped out!"

A tall man next to Lang Zhijia shouted in surprise, "Why Keke! Has the rule been broken?"

The shouts attracted other people hiding on the eleventh floor to gather in the hall. It was the first time that both Ren Zhifei and the old madman discovered that there were so many people in the dangerous building. They looked as if they had stepped out of a black and red TV. There were no extra colors except black, red and gray.

The temperature outside the court dropped suddenly, as if it had changed from early summer to winter. Ren Zhifei couldn't help but shudder, but the prisoners couldn't feel the difference in temperature at all and instead whispered in panic.

"How could that happen? The scavenger should appear on the fifth floor tomorrow!"

"Wouldn't it be okay for those who got the lottery to go to the fifth floor?"

"The rules have changed!"

"Could it be that... the prophecy has come true!"

The entire floor was filled with an uneasy atmosphere, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Stop making noise!" the tall man shouted, and the hall became quiet. It seemed that he had quite a lot of authority among that group of people. Taking advantage of the brief silence, the tall man said to everyone: "It was an accident that time. Don't panic. In addition, Cheng Qian, I will inform the brothers on other floors and ask them to withdraw to the tenth floor."

The little man who called Cheng Qian took the order, then turned around and disappeared into the corridor.

"Chief, has the prophecy come true? What should they do?" Someone suddenly asked. Lang Zhijia introduced to Ren Zhifei that the tall man was named Zhou Xian, who was the leader of the prisoners.
