Chapter 4 Building 3
"Meowβ"
The black cat's cry suddenly interrupted Dong Xie's memories.
"That cat......" Zhao Long couldn't help but pull his collar, "Let's go and see, maybe it's a clue to the way out." β
"Well, it's okay......" Dong Xie walked up to Dong Ning, took off his coat and put it on her, and said, "It's so much colder here than in the city, let's put it on first." β
"Be careful." At this time, Dong Ning's voice began to be lowered: "Not only 'them', but other residents should also be careful. β
Dong Xie nodded, although it had only been two weeks since he entered the apartment, he could see that the residents had lived in this kind of place for a long time, and their psychology was not normal, and there were not a few people with obvious PTSD and depression, and no one knew if they would do some extreme behaviors, so they should indeed be a little cautious.
At the same time, Dong Ning stretched out his hand and grabbed Dong Xie's scarf and tied it again: "It's cold after getting out of the car, tie the scarf tighter." How nice it would be for you to spend half of your time taking care of me, man. β
At this time, Zhao Long had already walked in front of the black cat and squatted down. The blood letter indication has not officially begun, and although it cannot be said to be absolutely safe, the probability of dying now is very low. In fact, among the information found, only one resident named Xia Yuan was found to have a similar precedent of death.
At this time, Dong Xie also came up and approached to observe the cat, but the black cat seemed to be frightened and immediately escaped! It didn't take long for him to run into a patch of green grass.
"It looks like it's quite afraid of people...... Dong Xie held his chin and said, "The cats near our house are also like this, and they will run away when they see people." β
"This ...... It looks unlucky. At this time, another man named Feng Yu came over, scratched his face, and said, "We...... Hurry up and find where Building 3 is. β
Not far away, another resident shivered and took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his body and lit it with a lighter. One of the great advantages of being a resident is that you will have an inexhaustible supply of money, and you will not be able to stress even the most high-end cigarettes and alcohol (this is one of the new 'features' added to the apartment 8 years ago). The resident, named Gurch, was an old smoker, who had been unable to smoke in the car before, and was obviously suffocated, so he started lighting a cigarette as soon as he got out of the car.
"Let's hurry up." Zhao Long walked up to Dong Xie, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dong Xie, thank you for driving us here." This way...... You've worked hard. β
"Well, it's okay......"
Afterwards, the five of them gathered together and kept an eye on their surroundings from time to time. The neighborhood is so quiet that it feels like the world around you is a video that has been muted.
Zhao Long took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and pressed the hands-free button.
"Hmm...... Old...... Mr. Chen? β
An old voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it?" β
Zhao Long was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Well, we are the tenants who have made an appointment to come and check in today, the ...... This should be Mr. Chen Bokuan's mobile phone, right? β
"That's right...... I'm his wife...... Ahem...... Ahem......"
On the other end of the phone, there was a muffled coughing sound from time to time.
"Hmm......" Zhao Long looked around and asked, "Excuse me, where are we going to go in Building 3?" β
"Entered the entrance of the community and ...... along the green belt on the left"
Then Zhao Long immediately looked in the direction indicated in the phone, and that ...... It's the grass and greenery that the black cat ran into before!
Seeing this scene, Dong Xie couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Compared with Zhao Long, who executed the blood character twice, Feng Yu and Ge Qi, who were both blood characters once, he never saw the real "those things" once. This made his heart begin to feel strongly uneasy. After all, in the Chinese concept, the black cat has always been a symbol of bad luck. Not to mention, to appear in such a place.
"Look to the right after crossing the green belt......"
"Oh...... See! β
Bypassing the green belt, I found that Building 3 was directly behind Building 2, which had been blocked by Building 2 before.
However, the environment around this area is really dirty and messy, not to mention the ground around the green belt, and there is a mess of garbage everywhere.
"Isn't it all starting to sort garbage now? Why is this garbage still littered? Are they wet or dry? Dong Xie, who usually contracts half of the housework with Dong Ning at home, spent a long time just reciting garbage classification, but when he saw the dirty and messy scene in front of him, he couldn't help but cover his nose.
Zhao Long glanced at Dong Xie with a wry smile, it seems that in such a short period of time, Dong Xie still hasn't changed his thinking, for the residents, this kind of thing is not important at all. None of them would be surprised by the bizarre happening at the place where the blood word was executed.
The five of them were getting closer and closer to Building 3.
"Go in now? Is it still early? Feng Yu picked up his phone and glanced at the time, and said, "That...... If you go in now......"
Zhao Long hurriedly said, "Hmm...... It's also quite close to the time, so it's good to go in early and check the situation. The blood word suggests that there can be anywhere. β
Dong Xie made a suggestion: "Why don't you take a look at the rest of the community first, and when the time comes, we will have to go into Building 3 and not come out, maybe there will be clues in other parts of the community?" β
After thinking about it, Zhao Long said, "That's it, Feng Yu, Ge Qi, you two will explore around here first, and if you have any clues, you will report later." I'll take their siblings in first...... What do you think? β
After all, Dong Xie and Dong Ning are new residents, and it is more reasonable to bear the task of entering the blood character execution site first to "step on the spot", and Dong Xie and Dong Ning can't say anything.
"That's ...... Yes. Feng Yu nodded, looked at Ge Qi, who had been silent while smoking a cigarette, and said, "Then let's go." β
Seeing the backs of the two, Dong Xie looked at Zhao Long and said, "That'...... We...... Go in first? β
"Well, let's go. We...... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Mo Yuan told me that when I arrived, I would definitely give him a call. β
Then he quickly dialed Mo Yuan's number.
"Hey, Mo Yuan?" Zhao Long breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his mobile phone could communicate with Mo Yuan, "We have arrived." β
Mo Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "How much can you take care of the two newcomers...... Tell everything you need to do. Maybe it can become a seedling with potential. β
Once the blood word, as long as one resident explores the way of birth, it means that everyone can be saved. Therefore, most of the residents are more interdependent.
"I, I know...... Mo Yuan. β
After a few more pleasantries, Zhao Long suddenly lowered his voice and said to Mo Yuan, "Mo Yuan...... I've bought myself a headstone in the cemetery, right next to my parents' tombstones. When I die, if I can't find the body, bury some of my clothes there. Can...... May I? β
