Chapter Twenty-Five: The People Locked Underground
Shalin suddenly felt uneasy about the sudden change, and Keck saw Shalin running over with his whole body covered tightly, but he didn't speak, so he didn't recognize Shalin, but continued to ask:
"Hey, what's your name and why did you get caught here?"
"New kid, why don't you speak?"
"Those people beat you?"
Keck's voice was not loud, but it was still audible in the quiet of the cell.
Hearing Keck's breathless and heartless voice, Shalin felt a little relieved, at least he could judge that this guy was not directly affected by radiation sickness, but at the moment he couldn't answer any questions from Keke.
From the moment he walked into Area E, Sarin was observing the layout of the area.
There are four rows of iron cages embedded in the stone walls, each with a distance of more than half a meter between them, and only the cage where Sarin is located is located on the westernmost side of Section E, which is separate from the rest of the cages.
The old-fashioned camera hangs brightly on the ceiling at the entrance to Area E, although it doesn't look like a wide-angle camera, and the 'single room' where he is located is still covered by a stone wall.
But the radios on both sides can show that this monitor has a sound reception function.
Once he couldn't help but talk to Keck, he swore that he would be the first to finish, let alone save Keck and escape from the cave.
And, since Keck was locked up by the Firewall Corporation, it's likely that Emma and the rest of her friends at the company were locked up somewhere as well......
Thinking of this, Shalin fell into another difficult dilemma.
If his guess is correct, it will be even more difficult to get everyone out of trouble!
Shalin was in a state of distress, and the only thing to be happy about was that this situation was only the worst scenario he had imagined for the time being, and it might not have actually happened yet.
The best way to find out what the others are doing right now is to ask Keck, so Sarin must find a way to communicate with him without using words.
But he was reluctant to open his mouth for Keck to recognize him.
After thinking for a moment, Salin quickly took out the blank paper from his coat pocket that had written 'I am deaf and mute, please help me', and a pencil, and threw the paper into a ball at Keck, who also threw the pencil over.
Keck inexplicably picked up the paper ball on the ground, and it didn't dawn on him until he saw Shalin's words.
"It's so pitiful that I can't hear it......"
He wrote a few words on a piece of paper and communicated with Salyn in this way, and the other 'prisoners' in the prison were not interested in what was happening here, and they sat dejectedly by the iron cage, as if the lack of light of day had robbed them of all their life.
There are also a few 'prisoners' with strange lights flowing in their eyes, paying attention to this man who is being held in solitary confinement by the firewall company, and they don't know what they are thinking.
Keck didn't notice that the atmosphere in the Block E cell was changing even the slightest, so he wrote a few random questions and threw the paper ball back.
[What's your name, why were you locked up, what's going on outside now?]
[I don't know, I was only brought to this designated quarantine area today, and then I was brought here directly, why are you being held here?]
After Shalin wrote this sentence, he thought about it again and continued to write.
[Have you ever seen anything unusual in quarantine?]
Keck quickly replied that he was a straight man with almost no twists and turns in his head, so he didn't doubt the reason for Shalin's question.
[I drank too much the previous two days and got into a fight with the quarantine administrators, so they locked me up here.] ]
[As for you asking if anything out of the ordinary...... Sometimes there is a strange scream from outside, and the quarantine area seems calm on the surface, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, do you know what's going on?]
Shalin looked at Keke's reply, thought for a moment, and decided not to hide from him that radiation would cause human mutations, and he hoped that Keck would take care of and protect himself.
So he bluntly wrote the truth on paper.
[All I know is that the radiation contamination from the Kappa nuclear power plant turns some people into monsters, and the screams you hear are made by monsters.] ]
Keck saw the instructions on the paper ball, was silent for a long time, and suddenly ......
"it!"
"It's so exciting!"
"According to you, there's a Resident Evil drama going on in Kappa right now?"
Keke suddenly shouted in shock, Shalin's face suddenly turned pale, how could he forget Keke's babbling character, and didn't remind him on the note to keep quiet?
And the rows of cages that had been quiet for a long time gradually became active because of Keke's shouts.
Someone in the cage not far away began to shout at the top of their voices:
"Hey, what are you muttering? What does Resident Evil mean?"
"The new guy over there, do you know what's going on in the city right now, and when will we be able to go home?"
The two uncles who had just come in banged the iron cage, hoping to attract the attention of this side, and with this flammable and explosive topic, the people in the entire prison shouted as if they were venting:
"Young man, do you usually speculate in stocks, do you know what is going on in the stock market now, have M shares and concept stocks risen recently?"
"Can anyone tell me what the weather is like at sea for the past two days, my son goes out fishing with the fleet and only comes home once a month, and he doesn't even know what happened in Kappa until now. ”
"Alas, you are not destroyed by me, our factory just received a large number of orders last month, and tomorrow is the final delivery date......"
In the face of these noisy voices, Keck also shouted at the top of his voice:
"I don't know!"
"Uncle, you have been asking about stocks every day since the first day I came in, but I really don't know, I don't have money to speculate in stocks!"
There was a burst of laughter in the cage in the east, and the uncle who inquired about the stock market news also replied to him at the top of his voice:
"Then when you get out, the uncle will teach you how to enter the market and speculate in stocks, and I guarantee that you will earn a sea-view house in half a year, and you will be the king in ten years!"
"Yes, be a model of stock speculation and be a patriotic shareholder!"
The other shareholders in the cage were also coaxing, and the cell in Area E was suddenly full of laughter and new hope, but when people still had a lot of good expectations in their hearts, Shalin's heart was already aching.
Rows of fallen corpses flashed in front of him, but he didn't think he was capable of saving so many people, and taking Keck out was probably his limit.
At this time, in the face of the 'carnival' launched by everyone through the cage, Salin retracted the cushion in the corner of the dark cell, confirmed that it was the dead end of the monitor, and took out the metal block hidden in the inner pocket.
