Chapter 5: Enter
There was no way to climb over the red brick wall, so the boy turned and looked up at the two-story factory, which seemed to be the only place the boy could go now, despite the fact that it had no doors.
The wall that the boy was facing was a gray cement wall, with no doors, only two randomly arranged windows on the upper and lower floors, and no glass, only metal frames, as if it were a half-built factory that had not yet been completed.
The haphazard arrangement of windows embedded in the walls is neither artistic nor special, and looks more like it was built without careful planning.
Of course, in this weird world, whether this factory was built or not is a question.
With a dry throat and a swallowing motion, the young man looked past a window facing him in the middle of the first floor and observed the inside of the factory.
The interior of the factory was dimly lit, and when the boy looked over, he could only faintly see some thick plastic pipes, which seemed to extend out of the window and seal the gap between the two sides of the factory and the red brick wall.
'I can only go in······
Frowning and hesitating for a while, the young man had no other way, let alone any other place to go, so he finally gritted his teeth and raised his steps and walked towards the window five or six meters away.
'Rustling ······'
The boy's feet stepped on the dense weeds, making a sound that made this strange place no longer silent, and at the same time made the boy's heart tense even more.
No matter how much you try to maintain your inner peace, the fear of stepping into the unknown is not so easy to eliminate.
Five or six meters was not far away, but after a few seconds, the boy came to the window and looked inside a little nervously. Maybe it's because the inner vision is broadened a little bit, and you can see many large and small machines and equipment inside the factory at this time.
The equipment looked to have been sitting out for a long time, covered in a thick layer of dust, and some were rusted and piled up in a haphazard manner as if they were about to be disposed of.
With a slight sigh of relief, the boy propped his hands on the window frame, ready to flip in first to see what was going on.
But as soon as the upper body entered the factory, the boy discovered a rather disobedient thing.
The interior space of this factory seems to be a bit too large.
The wall facing the boy was about ten meters wide, and there were eight windows on two floors, each of which was separated by a distance of one or two meters.
But when the young man leaned out of the window, he found that the closest window to him was dozens of meters away, and the wall he was on was hundreds of meters long from the inside.
That's not right. ’
Quickly retracting himself, the boy looked at the wall he was on from the outside.
That's right, that's a width of more than a dozen meters, the height of a two-story building.
Then the boy leaned in again, measuring the size of the space inside the factory.
It was as if he had crossed some incredible barrier, and from the inside, the wall where the boy was standing was literally hundreds of meters long. And the boy raised his head and looked up, and found that its height was also quite amazing, because of the poor viewing angle of his neck, the boy could not even see the whole picture directly, and could only vaguely see a window hanging dozens of meters high through the light.
As for the roof of the factory, it was impossible to see because of the dim light, only a blurry pitch black.
Some of the unbelievers stepped back from the window, and the boy looked around with his head down, then picked up a thumb-sized stone and pointed it at a window on the second floor. The window corresponded to the window in front of the boy, according to the situation just now, this factory actually only has one floor, if you throw a stone from the second floor, then the stone will definitely pass through the window on the first floor.
Weighing the weight of the stone in his hand, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a throw of his right hand upward, he accurately threw the stone in his hand into the window on the second floor.
Then the boy looked at the window in front of him.
After about three or four seconds, just as the boy had thought, the stone he had thrown fell without incident, right behind the window in front of the boy.
Leaning in again, the boy did not step directly into the factory, but grabbed the window and stretched out his arms, picking up the stone that had not rolled far.
After pinching it in his hand a few times, the young man casually threw the stone behind him.
In the face of such a strange factory, the boy didn't want to step into it. Obviously, the scale seems to be quite small from the outside, but the space inside is so large that it seems impossible to see at a glance, if it weren't for the old equipment blocking the young man's view inside, the young man really wants to see how big this factory is.
"Damn it."
There was no way to stalemate like this, the boy sighed a little grumblingly, and then jumped through the window into the factory with his feet strong.
"Dah."
His feet landed firmly on the concrete floor, and a small gust of air brought up by the boy when he landed rolled up a little dust, because the dust accumulated quite a lot, and the boy even felt a little soft when he stepped on it.
Subconsciously tapped his toes a few times to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the ground he was stepping on, and the young man slowly raised his steps and cautiously walked towards the factory.
It is not as dim as he imagined, when the boy walks in this huge and chaotic factory, he can still see the things around him clearly, although the distant ones are blocked by the machinery and equipment, but through the gap between the equipment, he can also see a rough idea.
At least if something unexpected really happens, the boy will definitely be able to detect it immediately, and he will not delay the opportunity because his vision is not wide enough.
There was silence all around, and the silence was a little scary, even if the footsteps of the young man were not heavy, so it was particularly harsh.
The boy didn't know what the factory was for, or what would be in it. From his observation of the machinery and equipment, it seems that this factory is just a processing plant for processing some raw materials, and there is nothing dangerous that looks like it.
There are unevenly arranged windows on the high walls around the perimeter, and the afternoon light shines through the windows, like searchlights illuminating dozens of areas, after all, there is no lighting in the factory.
Not only that, but the angles of those rays are also strange.
Each window was flooded with dim sunlight, piercing through various areas of the factory like a sharp sword cutting through the darkness, creating dozens of exceptionally bright areas inside the originally dim factory. It looked like a spotlight on a stage, and it couldn't be normal sunlight.
As long as a normal person knows, the sunlight shining on the earth has only one angle, how can it be illuminated into a building from all directions?
Unless there are many suns that enclose this factory.
But the boy clearly remembered that there were many suns outside, he didn't even see a single sun, and now the weather outside was cloudy.
Although he did see the afternoon sun shining through the window, including the one he came in······
The boy didn't want to go in the dark, so after walking a few dozen meters forward, he turned a direction to the right, bypassed several rusty machines, and walked towards an area illuminated by the sun. Although I don't know if this is death, the boy still subconsciously does it in line with the phototaxis in human genes.
As he walked towards the bright area blocked by the machine, the boy thought to himself.
'How long do I have to go?' It looks like there's nothing but the machines, so it's hard to walk through here······ It's such a big place, and there are so many machines in the way, it takes a lot of time to get through······
However, he was only halfway through what he was thinking, but the young man's whole body suddenly shook violently, and he stood straight in place and no longer dared to move, just like the person who was pointed out in the movie.
Bypassing the last machine leading to the bright area, the boy saw more than just a patch of sunshine.
In the sunlit clearing, about five meters square, a dozen ragged men were squatting, all facing the interior of the bright area, their heads bowed and not making a sound, and if it weren't for the occasional twitch of their heads, the teenager might have thought of them as stiff corpses.
Because the view was blocked by the machinery and equipment before, and these people were squatting on the ground, the boy did not notice them in advance, which caused the boy at this time to appear on the edge of the bright area without a trace of concealment, and the person closest to him was only less than three meters away.
As long as one person raises his head, he can easily spot the figure of the young man.
At that point, it's hard to say what will happen.
'What's going on with these people?' ’
Because they were all squatting on the ground, the boy couldn't see what their faces looked like, but judging by the little corrupt black muscles exposed under the tattered clothes, the boy didn't think those people were normal.
Putref, black, bare muscles with no skin cover.
A few meters away, the boy also smelled a disgusting smell of decay.
It was like the smell of an animal that had been thrown into a garbage heap in the middle of summer after several days of exposure to the sun, and just a sip of it caused the boy's stomach to feel an uncontrollable spasm.
'Careless, I should have found it sooner, damn it······'
Attracted by the bright light, the young man's previous march seemed to be very hasty, and he walked directly without any probing, after all, in the young man's mind, this kind of bright area in the dim factory should be equated with "safe area".
It's just that now it seems that all the common sense in the boy's mind has no effect at all in this weird world, but instead puts the boy in a very dangerous situation.
