Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 552 The Underground Shopping Mall
The surviving people were divided into two parts, one part occupied the supplies of the dead, and began to spend the last time of their lives drunkenly - they drank a lot of alcohol, squandered the food that was not much, and kept having sex with women and even female corpses relationship, smashing everything that can be seen around...

As for the other part, they were unwilling to die like this, and they tried to search for new supplies, or tried to return to the surface.

But at that time, only a few months had passed since the nuclear explosion, and the surface was still flooded with a large amount of high-concentration radiation pollution. When an ordinary person without any protective measures returned to the surface, the only thing waiting for him was death, and it was full of pain. death.

Qi Lin had personally witnessed the death of patients with severe radiation: almost all skin and hair fell off, muscles dissolved, bones became extremely fragile, shattered at the touch of a touch, and severe organ failure. However, the patient's consciousness was clear, but he But he couldn't even howl—his vocal cords had already been melted away.

The humanoid monsters that Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu encountered before are likely to be some of these people. They retreated after only enduring a small amount of radiation, relying on things like cockroaches, mice, and moss for food, barely underground survived in the world.

But... the source of the stench permeating the subway still hasn't appeared.

The environment in the subway was very dry, and these corpses had all turned into mummies, with no signs of decay at all. Obviously, the stench was not from them.

"'South Third Ring Station', the next stop is 'Century Commercial Building', we are almost there." Cheng Yanqiu pointed to a light box stop sign next to the track and said.

"What the hell...then where does this stench come from?" Qi Lin was a little puzzled, now he has switched the steel pipe to his left hand, and his right hand is holding a nearly two-foot-long watermelon knife. He just picked it up from a corpse. Although the surface of the knife was stained with rust, the blade was still sharp.

Also next to the corpse, there were a lot of pink banknotes scattered, many of which were covered with dried hard black dirt-this kind of thing that was sought after by everyone in the old days, at that time, the only Probably the only function left is to wipe the butt.

The corpses, there are only a lot of corpses in sight. It was better at Yumin Xincun Station before, there were only one or two scattered skeletons, but after passing the South Third Ring Road, the number of corpses suddenly increased stand up.

The accumulation of these corpses made Qi Lin think of the "big tunnel tragedy" in Chongqing that he had seen in old photos. At that time, it was during the war of Japanese aggression against China. After the Japanese invaded Wuhan, the Japanese took advantage of the air force Indiscriminately bombing Chongqing, the seat of the Chinese government, a large number of people poured into the air-raid shelters. Due to factors such as lack of oxygen, high temperature and panic, plus pushing and stampede incidents, hundreds of people did not die under the bombing of enemy planes , Instead, he died in his own air-raid shelter.

Just as Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu approached the pile of corpses, there was a commotion. Many frightened beetles came out from the nostrils, ears, mouth, etc. of the corpse, and quickly crawled into the dark corner. The most exaggerated is , A large hole was bitten open in the abdomen of a mummy, and the inside was almost completely emptied. A nest of young bloodthirsty rats formed a circle and lay neatly inside the corpse's abdomen.

The flesh of the mummy was very dry and hard, lacking moisture, and difficult to bite. However, these insects had evolved sharp mouthparts for this purpose, and the teeth of adult bloodthirsty rats were like small sharp daggers.

"Did I make a mistake in my judgment?" Seeing these bugs and bloodthirsty rats, Qi Lin became more and more suspicious. If those smells were the breath of a powerful mutant creature, then these weak guys would not dare to come here. Stay in this area, even if there is almost endless "food" here.

"Perhaps." Cheng Yanqiu said, but the two of them still did not relax their vigilance, walked around the piled corpses and walked to the top of the subway track.

There seems to have been a tragic battle here, perhaps for the scramble for territory and supplies, or perhaps because of some other conflicts. Almost none of the advertising light boxes in this area are complete, and there are knives and knives scattered around the fallen corpses on the ground. Weapons such as sticks or bricks and stones were used, and one corpse was even hoisted by wires to a crossbar at the top of the tunnel.

Qi Lin was a little lucky, he was lucky enough to be able to grab a precious place in the refuge, otherwise, even if he survived this fight by chance, he would eventually become that kind of half-human, half-ghost thing .

"There are still 500 meters left. There are two large escalators at the Century Commercial Building Station. Go up the escalators and you can enter the underground shopping mall." Cheng Yanqiu said aloud.

Qi Lin nodded and continued to open the way ahead.

Along the way, apart from worms and bloodthirsty rats, they didn't even encounter that kind of humanoid monster, but this kind of quietness made people feel a little creepy.

"People are cheap, and they always think that it is best not to meet monsters, but now they are too quiet, and I hope to jump out a few weaker guys to liven up the atmosphere." Qi Lin supported the back of his hand Breathing mask, adjust it to a more comfortable angle, said in a low voice.

"Maybe there are really no other monsters? Last time when a group of people from the 'organization' and I passed by here, we didn't even encounter that kind of humanoid monster." Cheng Yanqiu said.

"How many people did you have that time?"

"Forty or fifty, fully armed and carrying heavy weapons."

"That's the end of it. These monsters used to be humans, and they are not stupid. With so many of you, they must hide as far away as possible when they see it. Only those who are alone like us will be treated as monsters by them." prey."

……

However, it seemed to be the same as what Cheng Yanqiu said, except for the few humanoid monsters that were killed, there was really nothing else here.The two walked to the Century Commercial Building Station without hindrance, and stood in front of the escalator that had stopped working long ago.

"Fortunately, it's an escalator. If it's that kind of elevator, it will be troublesome."

Qi Lin pulled away the two mummies blocking the entrance of the escalator, and walked up the steps step by step.

……

The entrance of the underground shopping mall is very large, and the decoration is very ostentatious, but at this moment, it seems to be full of depression - a few months before the outbreak of the war, these large commercial firms had already closed down, and the urban residents Living materials have also adopted a unified rationing system.

Walking into the entrance, there is a series of jewelry counters. These counters made of tempered glass have been smashed, and the jewelry displayed inside has disappeared—this must have been done in the early days of the war. Well, an expired can of sardines is far more valuable than these diamonds that are too hard to bite.

"Go this way, we need to go through the clothing area." At this time, Cheng Yanqiu came to the front and began to lead the way and take the lead.
