Chapter 12: The Bloody Corridor

Lin Xi walked alone in the narrow corridor of the dormitory building, and could only hear the sound of footsteps echoing endlessly.

Sunlight shines through the glass window on one side of the corridor, casting mottled spots of light on the ground, which actually look like the holy glow behind the stained glass of a medieval church.

There is not much warmth, but a little gloomy.

This was the first time he had set foot in another dormitory building since the cataclysm, but what he saw was very creepy.

The corridor is not long, and you can see the end at a glance, but all the bedroom doors that Lin Xi passes by are tightly closed, and he doesn't know how many survivors survived inside, but he knows that they must be peeking through the cracks in the door.

The aisle in front of the door was littered with red and black bloodstains, some of which were remnants of the early days of the cataclysm, while others were still fresh.

Lin Xi paid attention to it and found that the area of these blood stains was often exaggerated, and from a distance, it looked like a kind of postmodernist art graffiti, or a barbaric totem of primitive people sacrificing to the heavens after hunting, but whether it was advanced or barbaric, it was the same distortion, and there was absolutely no lack of explosive splash marks in these blood stains, which could easily be reminiscent of the madness and tragedy of the word "blood spattered".

When he passed through a glass window, he even saw a blood-stained palm print, and the red palm print was just slapped on the sliding glass, looking extremely desperate.

Next to the palm print, there are also some slogans dipped in blood, and the font is chaotic, like a ghost drawing, but Lin Xi only glanced at it, and found that all the words and sentences contained the ugliest side of human nature:

Crazy, egoistic, and vicious to the extreme.

Looking at all this, he almost immediately restored the scene in his mind:

A desperate victim desperately escapes, but unfortunately loses his strength and collapses under this glass window, and the murderous thugs quickly catch up.

They killed him and then wrote these sinful statements with his blood.

That bloody palm print was the last trace of this poor victim left in this world.

It's just that he saw all this, and then deduced all the ins and outs, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help anything.

The world has gone mad, and after the collapse of the inherent moral and legal consciousness of human beings, this tragedy is probably only a very small part of the entire world stage, not even one in ten thousand.

Lin Xi continued to take a few steps forward.

Suddenly, he felt as if there was something missing here besides blood, so he stood there and tilted his head to think.

Soon, he came to the conclusion:

Corpse.

On these bloodstains, both new and old, there were no corpses.

So, where did the bodies go?

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the black residue he had vomited out.

Then he suddenly felt very nauseous, wanted to vomit, and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

In desperation, he had no choice but to quickly close his eyes and wisely not continue to dwell on this issue.

The world is drunk, and being alone awake becomes the greatest pain.

"I'm just here looking for food."

Lin Xi took a few deep breaths, and alerted himself with the bloody and foul smell that filled the air, "I am now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself, so don't care so much." ”

The food he was looking for was certainly not human food in the conventional sense, it was only extinct in this university, and he didn't eat human flesh, and the abundant food supply during this time made his moral system collapse much slower than other people who were suffering from hunger.

Although the moral decline is always in a state of acceleration, as long as it does not exceed a certain critical point, it can still barely maintain its dignity as a human being.

He was looking for quilts, clothing, shoes, and other organic things that were not dominant in other human lives.

Perhaps it was because these things were not completely suitable for human recipes, so although Lin Xi's [digestion] ability had evolved to an inhuman level, the parts of these things that could be digested were still far less than they had to be spit out, which greatly increased his consumption of these "foods".

In the past few days, he had eaten up all the organic matter that could be easily found in his dorm room, and most of the others were locked in his room, or with zombies, and he couldn't risk anything else when similar supplies could be found elsewhere.

Soon, he found a vacant dormitory.

The door of this bedroom was hidden, Lin Xi used a small mirror to peek through the crack in the door to peek at the situation in the house, and found that in addition to the dried blood stains everywhere, but there was no living thing to see, Lin Xi immediately put away the mirror, pushed the door in, the owner of this bedroom has long been gone, I don't know whether he was eaten by zombies or turned into a zombie, or both, but no matter what, when he left, he obviously didn't have a chance to take away his personal belongings, although the furnishings in the bedroom fell to the ground messily, However, the clothes, shoes, socks and bedding are still complete.

At least enough for him to eat.

"Let's go."

Packing up some of the most suitable materials for digestion and putting them away, Lin Xi looked at the pile of bedding that seemed to be unclean, and showed a smile that could be called greedy.

Then he sat down in the middle of the pile of bedding and ate it with joy.

To be honest, the taste of these bedding is not good, more than twenty days have passed since the cataclysm, these unattended bedding have a strong musty smell and stench, and the taste of vomiting after gluttony is not pleasant, but Lin Xi still eats extremely happily, after all, after experiencing that hellish hunger, anything that can be eaten can be regarded as a heavenly enjoyment.

After eating several bedding in a row, Lin Xi's body began to take the initiative to call the police, reminding him that it was enough to eat so much.

After the evolution of his [digestion] ability, his grasp of his body has risen to a new level, and now, for him, it is the healthiest eight points full.

In such a troubled world, it is undoubtedly a ridiculous topic to say "health", but after Lin Xi thought about it for a while, he still reluctantly stopped, too much food, and if he ate it again, it would affect his nerve reflex speed, he would not forget that this was not a place he was familiar with, and he could encounter new dangers at any time, and he must always ensure that his adaptability would not be seriously attenuated by eating too much.

Lifting a bag of leather goods next to him, Lin Xi quickly left this strange bedroom.

Leather goods are the closest to meat in clothing, small in size, but provide him with much more energy, compared to "food" such as cotton wool, which can only be regarded as vegetables in his new recipe.

"It's time to go back."

Lin Xi walked to the window of the corridor and glanced at the sky outside.

The clouds receded as quickly as the tide.

In the time he had just eaten, the cloud of death had reappeared, so it should be safe for now.

He had to take advantage of this safe time to hurry back to his bedroom, lock the door, and get a good night's sleep.

Originally, the rest of the dormitories could actually rest, but unfortunately he searched around, but he couldn't find the key he needed, so he had to settle for the next best thing and go back to his dirty little den.

After all, the phenomenon of cannibalism has really begun to appear, and if you don't lock the door carefully before going to bed, you may wake up and find yourself already boiling in a pot.
