Chapter 9 The Human-faced Mouse
After several hours, the sky of the City of Night finally began to brighten up little by little.
Day is coming.
The sky was bright, but there was still no sunshine. The sky was covered by lead-gray clouds and never dispersed all day long.
Wei Yuanwu was the first to stand up and was about to go out.
Lin An grabbed him and said, "Squad leader, don't worry first. Let's wait and see if it's really safe during the day, no one knows, so we'd better see if others are going out first. Look, there's no movement on Xu Tianrui. So, I'd better not be the first person to go out."
Wei Yuanwu looked at Ye Fang with a somewhat ugly expression: "It's all classmates, is it okay?"
Ye Fang didn't say anything, but just pushed open the door and squatted behind the exterior wall to look outward.
The general benefit of having relationships with everyone is reflected, he doesn't care so much about what other students are like.
Looking out, after dawn, the garden in the center of the three rental buildings is no longer dark, and you can see through it at a glance. The gardens as big as basketball courts are empty, and the trees are all dead, twisted in a strange posture. Some look like humans are crawling there, with only scattered pieces of trees, and black and green grass leaves are growing.
And other than that, there are no werewolf and no other monsters.
But the large bloodstains on the two buildings opposite remind people of the horror of this world at all times.
However, the first thing that could not be suppressed was the people from the two buildings opposite. In less than twenty minutes of dawn, several survivors who survived were running here all the way. The noise was quite stirring, but no monsters were alarmed, and no werewolf appeared.
Seeing this, Ye Fang and the other two walked quickly downstairs, and they happened to meet a classmate who had just come from the other two buildings downstairs.
No one is a fool. Everyone knows that this building is the only safe place that has not been attacked by werewolf. When it dawns, they all come over with a group mentality.
These students were frightened and their faces were full of horror.
"Everything is dead! All are dead!"
"That werewolf! That werewolf wandered in our building all night, and anyone who made a sound would die..."
Ye Fang felt a little nervous and asked about his best friend's situation without giving up.
"Chen Song? Ask Chen Song, he is dead! He is dead! He got something down in the room, made a loud sound, and was dragged out by the werewolf on the spot. Now half of the body is still hanging on the fourth floor of our building, and almost killed me... If you don't believe it, go and see it yourself!"
Wei Yuanwu looked at Ye Fang worriedly: "Do you want to go and have a look?"
"No." Ye Fang was silent for two seconds, "Hurry up, let's go out."
At this time, other groups also came down one after another, and everyone left the group rental building location in different directions. Few people came into contact with these classmates who were in a panic.
The classmates who ran over from other buildings couldn't help but say, "What are you doing? Are you not planning to help us?"
Wei Yuanwu wanted to reply a few more words, but when he turned his head, he found that Ye Fang and Lin An had both gone far away, so he had to follow him immediately.
Although they are all classmates, the relationship between classmates is not that good. Ye Fang doesn’t want to waste time here.
Before leaving, Ye Fang thought about bringing the book without words, but the thing was too heavy. Ye Fang didn't have anything like a backpack, so he had to take one hand with him, which was still a burden. He weighed his physique again, but he still didn't carry it.
The three of them went all the way to the outsiders.
Go downstairs. It is certain that the monsters and terrifying sounds disappeared or hidden with the arrival of the day.
Daytime is really safe.
Ye Fang led the way and walked along the side of the garden and triangular building group to outside the group building community.
There is also a complex urban area outside, with a faint mist scattering, adding an unknown horror to the entire city, like a city of destruction that died after the end of the world.
The buildings in the City of Darkness include old Western-style buildings from medieval Europe and low-rise buildings from China in the last century, as well as eclectic buildings mixed with two styles. The entire city seems to be a work that was randomly graffitied by someone, and it also looks like a Shanghai city in the last century with cultural integration.
These houses are either as empty as the rental buildings, or there are only moldy bread, or there are not even any items that match the 20th century. There are few basic daily necessities, and many places are covered with thick dust.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Fang saw a trace of searching in some corners, which means that there may really be other living people here. The Tianluo Sanctuary in Sophia's mouth, which is like a survivor base, may be somewhere in this night city.
The streets are narrow and there are no modern means of transportation. The old-fashioned street lights are scattered on the streets and there are no signs. The words on some abandoned shops on both sides of the street are also strange words that you have never seen before.
Surprisingly, they could understand it, and it was as natural and smooth as their mother tongue.
"Clock...watch...shop" Wei Yuanwu tried to read it, but there was no feeling of any discomfort. He seemed to have mastered this kind of language they had never even seen before.
It seems that this kind of language knowledge may also be a "gift" from the paradise.
However, most of the words on these streets are useless information.
Ye Fang noticed that this language seemed to be different from the Norton Empire where Sophia was... It seems that we invitees obtained the "all-park language general knowledge"?
And in this city, the only things that can be seen everywhere are the long-solidified black blood stains and the foul-stenched rotten meat.
Walking a few streets along the way... I couldn't find food at all.
Wei Yuanwu couldn't help but whisper: "Is this place really our Great China?"
Lin An shook her head: "In my opinion, no matter where this is - there is no shadow of the 20th century here. Didn't Paradise say that the world has been hundreds of years since 1999? Perhaps, the changes in this world have taken place even greater than we imagined..."
Ye Fang had been looking around, hoping to find clues related to the shelter of the Tianluo Society or other living people in the paradise from this weird city.
However, their birth point seemed a bit biased, and Ye Fang did not find anything.
At this time, they entered a dark hotel store in the corner of the street.
Wei Yuanwu and Lin An went to find something, but Ye Fang sat down along the table and prepared to rest for a while.
Although everyone has been hungry for about the same time, Ye Fang possesses others and practices purification techniques, which consumes a lot. The two Kang Shuai Fu biscuits are not at all. Now he is so hungry that he is almost dizzy.
However, as soon as he sat down, he heard a scream from Wei Yuanwu.
Ye Fang immediately stood up, walked through the messy outer hall, and followed the sound to the kitchen.
There was only a small window in the kitchen, and the light was very poor. When Ye Fang walked in, he saw Wei Yuanwu and Lin An standing not far from the door of the kitchen. Standing in the light, his bodies seemed a little stiff, and he looked straight at something under his feet.
Ye Fang took a few steps forward and looked forward, his face changed dramatically.
In the corner of the kitchen, there is a "mouse" at the junction of sunlight and dark shadows from the rear window.
The mouse was as big as a rabbit, with hair all over his body full of blood. His body was in the shadow less than ten centimeters away from the sun, and he was slightly raising his head to look at the human in front of him.
On the mouse's head, there was a ferocious human face. Scarlet eyes, black and yellow teeth, human-like arms... It looked like a ferocious mandrill. The red eyes reflected the three humans who were close to each other, grinning, revealing their sharp teeth and small tongues, as if they were making a strange grin.
This is a human-faced rat!
