Canned Rose Fish(14)(1/2)
The sky gradually became brighter, and Ji Xiaoye's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed a little.
It wasn't until dawn that she closed her eyes and rested for a while.
For dormitory 1221 where the two ladies live, last night was a rare "Christmas Eve".
There was a power outage in the dormitory building, and the intercom lost signal. Under the restrictions of the dormitory management rules, the strangers who lost contact with the outside world could only solve the crisis on their own.
Article 2 of the check-in manual clearly states: "It is recommended that the indoor temperature should not be lower than 26 degrees."
Fortunately, Gu Zhenzhen happened to get the indoor thermal insulation prop in the previous version, so they spent a peaceful first night in the dungeon.
But others may not be so lucky.
It was still early, so the two ladies were going to the male employees’ dormitory area to check the situation.
They first arrived at dormitory No. 1051 where the wife murderer and Wu Gui lived.
Before they even got close, they noticed that the door of dormitory No. 1051 was broken to the ground, and a strong and strange smell filled the air, like the smell of rotting and fermented fish, mixed with the smell of fresh blood.
Ji Xiaoye and Gu Zhenzhen looked at each other, each prepared their weapons and walked towards 1051.
The closer you get, the stronger the fishy smell becomes, and it's so strong that it's pungent.
The two of them crossed the broken door and carefully looked into the house.
There was no one on the single bed facing the door. The used quilt was messy and rolled up. The room was very quiet. There was a splashing sound from the bathroom, as if someone was washing up.
But when Gu Zhenzhen saw the situation on the other bed clearly, she couldn't help but let out a low "ah". She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Ji Xiaoye beside her with an unbelievable look.
Ji Xiaoye frowned. The cruel and terrifying scene in front of her challenged everyone's ability to bear it. She couldn't help but look away——
The wife-murderer lying on another single bed was dying, his eyes were half-opened, and intermittent moans came from his mouth.
His upper body was covered in mottled blood and rotten tissue after being burned by highly corrosive objects.
His thighs were stretched with two tourniquets. The tourniquets were completely stained red with blood. The tourniquets wrapped the broken bones and muscles after violent tearing. His two thighs were gone, and the sheets padding under his legs had become
Reddish brown.
It was so miserable that it was almost impossible to tell that the person lying on the bed was a human being.
The worst thing is that at this moment, he is dragging half his life to endure the severe pain of corrosion and broken legs.
As if sensing the change in light, the wife-murderer struggled to open his eyelids and look at the person, his body trembling violently: "Please, let me die... let me... die."
He begged horribly and pitifully, making Gu Zhenzhen take a step back in fright.
"Good morning, ladies," the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Wu Gui, who had finished washing, pushed open the door and looked at the two ladies with a smile, "I hope my friend didn't scare you."
Ji Xiaoye raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him: "It seems that you guys were quite intense last night."
"There's nothing I can do. I didn't get the tools to adjust the temperature. The loss is really big." Wu Gui looked at his roommate who was worse than dead and shrugged. When he looked at the two ladies again, the corners of his lips raised an unknown smile.
, "It seems you are very lucky and have sufficient props."
His sight is uncomfortable.
Ji Xiaoye glanced at the wife-murderer over there: "It's like this, and you're still giving life-threatening medicine to your roommate. It seems like your props are more than enough."
Wu Gui smiled noncommittally: "Roommates are meant to help each other."
Ji Xiaoye had already noticed that the wretched man was still alive after being injured like this, so he must have used a life-extending tool.
But he is obviously a new traveler, so the prop must belong to Wu Gui.
Wu Gui is definitely not someone who misses the friendship of companionship, and the two of them don't look like real partners.
It should be that Wu Gui forced the wretched man to live and used the dying man to observe the sequelae after being injured by the monster.
The wretched man was so injured that he must be in this ghostly state because of Wu Gui's contribution.
Could it be that the first rule of the dormitory: "Two newcomers share a dormitory, please cherish your roommate", does it mean that when a crisis strikes, sacrificing your roommate to save your own life is the only way to survive?
If this is the case, Player No. 1 and Player No. 7 may...
"I wonder how the two young men in 1079 are doing. It's almost time, let's go and see them together?" Wu Gui said again.
It seems that Wu Gui and Ji Xiaoye have gone to the same place.
*
From a distance, the door of 1079 is perfectly closed, as if nothing happened.
But as long as you walk in a little bit, you can clearly see the numerous scratches on the door.
There was no movement at all in the dormitory, it was eerily quiet.
Ji Xiaoye's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately raised her hand to knock on the door, but the door collapsed after a few knocks.
Ji Xiaoye: "..."
A strange chemical smell hit my face, but soon it was covered by a unique fishy smell.
Wu Gui's nose moved, but he could not distinguish what the fleeting strange smell was.
The sound of the door collapsing startled Qin Rang in his sleep. He turned over impatiently, rolled up his pillow to block the light, and murmured in his sleep: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mr. Lord, I promise never to fish again..."
Please don’t punish me…”
Everyone: "..."
This guy is still lying in bed having nightmares about being punished by the bottom.
Seeing how Qin Rang was sleeping deeply, it didn't look like he had experienced any crisis last night, but the collapsed door showed that a fierce battle had taken place here.
"Hey, if you don't get up, you will be punished for being late." Ji Xiaoye couldn't stand it anymore.
Qin Rang belatedly opened his eyes. He looked sleepily at the people at the door, and after a while he said "Ah" belatedly.
"Are you going to be late?!" Qin Rang quickly sat up and finally woke up completely.
At this moment, Qi Jiu walked out of the bathroom with a wet towel on his neck: "Good morning, everyone."
Qi Jiu greeted him with a smile as usual. He knew that everyone was observing his room and his state at this moment.
But the dormitory that had been thoroughly cleaned was clearly visible, but there were no clues. He had also put away the remaining spray paint and disinfectant.
"Did you encounter a monster last night?" Ji Xiaoye asked directly.
Qi Jiu answered frankly: "Well, an 'uninvited guest' is here."
He did not continue, and everyone understood that he had no intention of informing everyone about the process of repelling the 'uninvited guest'.
Wu Gui asked tentatively: "What does your dormitory seem to smell like?"
Qi Jiu pretended not to know what he was referring to and said nonchalantly: "This damn place is always filled with the fishy smell that won't go away. It's really annoying."
"It seems that one person was missing last night." He quickly looked at everyone and said again.
Ji Xiaoye glanced at Wu Gui: "His roommate is seriously injured and is resting in bed."
In fact, Ji Xiaoye was a little surprised. The two people in dormitory 1079 appeared in front of everyone with their hands and feet intact, which showed that her previous speculation was wrong - sacrificing roommates was not the only answer to save lives.
Ji Xiaoye looked at Gu Zhenzhen beside him out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Jiu wrung out the towel and hung it up. Ji Xiaoye noticed with sharp eyes a trace of corrosion on his neck.
The symptoms are similar to the rotten wounds on the wretched man's body.
"Are you injured?" Ji Xiaoye asked.
Qi Jiu nodded: "I was splashed by the monster's slime."
The pain and burning on his neck continued to intensify. Qi Jiu, who woke up from the pain, used cold water to cool down the wound. He planned to go to the infirmary to get some alcohol for disinfection.
His constitution is inherently weaker than ordinary people, and if the wound infection worsens, the consequences may be serious.
To make matters worse, his happiness level also dropped rapidly after being corrupted.
Ji Xiaoye handed a painkiller to Qi Jiu. Qi Jiu glanced at her and took the medicine: "Thank you."
He needs painkillers very much now, and of course, he will exchange them with something valuable.
"You're welcome, you gave us the gloves yesterday too." Ji Xiaoye never likes to owe favors to others.
It was already 8:30 in the morning, and everyone received the communication message from Mr. Lord——
[Good morning everyone, I hope you had a pleasant first night at the Bates Factory. The start of work is approaching, please arrive at the workshop as soon as possible to start the day's work.]
So the group of people started walking towards the workshop. When passing by dormitory 1051, Qi Qiu and Qin Rang took a look at the situation inside the dormitory.
Qin Rang was so frightened that he almost vomited, while Qi Jiu frowned and looked from the wife murderer to the half-extinguished heater standing next to the single bed.
"Did you turn on the heater last night?" Qi Jiu asked Ji Xiaoye next to him.
Ji Xiaoye shook his head: "She really has thermal insulation tools."
Qi Jiu nodded and fell silent. He looked at the heater thoughtfully again.
In other words, among the three groups last night, only Ji Xiaoye's group did not light the stove fire.
Only their group is "Christmas Eve".
So one of the triggering rules for "uninvited guests" is the heater?
To be continued...
