Doomsday Space, I Live Forever Under Natural Disaster
Chapter 46 Old Crooked
The small hole leads directly to his residence.
He shook off the small pieces of ice on his body, then opened a secret door on the ground and walked down with a kerosene lamp lit.
In the dark corridor, only the faint light of the kerosene lamp flickered, shining on his weathered and old face, but his eyes were full of ferocity and vigilance.
Slowly passing through a two-meter-long corridor, I came to a wooden door, which was locked with an old-fashioned iron lock. It took several minutes to unlock it and push the door open.
He looked at everyone inside fiercely. When the people inside saw the wooden door being pushed open, they instantly became quiet.
There were only two kerosene lamps lighting up the basement, but one could clearly see the terrified faces of the people inside. They were all teenage girls, still wearing the Taohua High School uniforms.
Half of the small room was filled with coal, and the other half was filled with a tattered sofa and an old coal stove.
The three girls looked frightened and huddled together, looking at the man who came in, their breathing becoming quieter.
The man closed the door behind him, limped to the shabby sofa against the wall and sat down. The old charcoal stove in front of him was burning brightly.
He took off his thick clothes layer by layer, and a vicissitudes of life voice sounded: "What are you talking about? Why don't you say anything?" The man's words were like a poisonous snake, drilling into the girls' ears, causing them to tremble even more.
As if for their own good, the man advised earnestly: "Didn't I tell you that the temperature outside is very low? You will be frozen to death if you go out for a short time."
"It's better to die than to stay here with you!" One of the girls gritted her teeth and stared fiercely at the old man in front of her.
The man's smiling mouth froze on his face. He stared at the girl who had just spoken with a vicious look, then stood up and slowly walked towards the girls.
The girl who was so tough just now hurriedly shrank into the crowd.
"what!"
The man grabbed her hair and dragged her to a small room at the side.
The girl grabbed her hair tightly with both hands and kept crying for help. A thin girl stood up and tried to stop her, but was quickly pulled down by the people around her.
The girl who was dragged away was taken to a small room with despair in her eyes.
Soon, her miserable screams and the man's groans were heard.
The girls who were still squatting in their places covered their ears, thinking that they would not be able to hear anything.
The girl who had just stood up and was pulled down again heard the screams coming from inside, looked sad, and said to the people around her, "Xiao Juan! Why did you pull me down!"
"If I don't pull you along, not only will I not be able to save anyone, I'll also get you killed!" Xiao Juan's face was pale, her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were lifeless as she whispered, "Qingqing, it's already this late, and you're still so reckless!"
Zhao Qingqing was panting, her face was pale, "Then what should we do, if we go on like this, we will all be killed by this guy..." She couldn't say the rest.
Zhao Qingqing and Xiao Juan lived in the same dormitory. There were originally six girls in the dormitory, and three of them had died at the hands of this demon.
Half a month after the cold disaster, the school was in chaos. They followed the crazy crowd and ran out of the school, and ended up meeting this old man.
Later they found out that the old man was a local scrap collector, 58 years old, whose legs were broken when he was young. He dug a basement under his scrap collection house, which is where they are being held now.
For more than two months, we only knew that this man was called Lao Guai, and we knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.
Lao Guai cooked a pot of potatoes every day and sprinkled some salt on them. The girls could only eat two potatoes a day and had no strength to even walk, let alone resist.
The toilet is filled with a bucket, which is taken out and emptied every morning by Lao Guai.
Their hair was solidified and stuck to their scalps. Their faces were sallow and they were thin. The school uniforms they wore were yellow and black, and the whole room was filled with an indescribable smell.
For a long time, the only sound in the small room was the girl's crying. Lao Guai cursed while pulling up his pants, pushed the girl out, closed the door of the small room, and fell asleep.
Zhao Qingqing saw her being pushed out and took a tentative step to check.
Cover her exposed skin with her school uniform.
"Lulu!" Zhao Qingqing held the girl in her arms and kept calling the girl's name. Lulu's full name was Wang Lu. She was the most talkative one in the dormitory, but now she was trembling all over, with a dull look in her eyes, and she kept muttering something.
The two of them carried her to the stove, and when they saw Wang Lu's miserable condition, they burst into tears quietly.
midnight
The three girls huddled together and sat on the floor sleeping.
Suddenly, Zhao Qingqing heard someone calling her while half asleep and half awake, and she answered subconsciously, "I'm here!"
Xiao Juan, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that she asked, "Are you having a nightmare?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Qingqing half-opened her eyes, looking confused. "What did you say?"
Xiao Juan yawned and covered her uncomfortable stomach, "You were talking in your sleep just now."
Zhao Qingqing thought carefully about when she started talking in her sleep.
next second.
A faint voice reached their ears, and Zhao Qingqing and Xiao Juan widened their eyes at the same time!
After hearing the content clearly, Zhao Qingqing stood up subconsciously, but was quickly pulled back by Xiao Juan, "Be steady! We can't get out now!" If they woke up Lao Guai, they would be in trouble!
Zhao Qingqing excitedly grabbed Xiao Juan's hand and whispered anxiously, "Xiao Juan, this is my mother, my mother is here to see me!" Her eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Xiao Juan was also happy in her heart, because it meant they were saved!
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she glanced at Lao Guai's door warily before whispering, "Qingqing, don't worry. Let's find a way to gain the old man's trust and let him take us out to find supplies. As long as we can get out, we'll have a chance to contact the outside world!"
Listening to Xiao Juan's words, Zhao Qingqing forced herself to calm down, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Xiao Juan!" The two encouraged each other and waited for tomorrow to come.
Due to the participation of Mao Qinghong, Jiang Yuyao and the others did not enter the space, but found a house, dismantled the furniture inside and used firewood for heating.
Mao Qinghong was very restless, and there was nothing she could do, so Xu Sihan took her on his bike to ride around every road in the town, honking the horn all the time.
It was not until two o'clock in the morning that he gave up and returned to the temporary house.
Mao Qinghong took the bread handed to her by Xu Sihan in a daze. Tears started flowing again as she looked at the bread in her hand, her heart still worried about her missing daughter.
Worried about whether she was still alive and whether she had enough food to eat.
Seeing this, Xu Sihan didn't say anything more and sat next to Xu Simiao to rest.
When Mu Youling rose from the fire, he leaned on Jiang Yuyao's shoulders and arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yuyao changed her posture and held the person in her arms, allowing her to sleep more peacefully. She held Mu Youling's arm with her right hand, injected her with supernatural power, and suppressed the black fog.
Early the next morning.
In order to increase efficiency, the six people acted separately.
Jiang Yuyao brought Mu Youling, Ke Yi brought Xu Simiao, and Xu Sihan brought Mao Qinghong.
Spread out in three directions and get back to the original place before dark.
Jiang Yuyao brought Mu Youling to an area of low houses and searched house by house. The loudspeaker was in Mao Qinghong's place.
"Ayao, why do you want to come here?" Mu Youling was puzzled. Shouldn't they go to the area near the school where the chances would be higher?
Jiang Yuyao led her to avoid the ice lumps under her feet and explained in a gentle voice, "Compared to those high-rise buildings, the chances of survival in low-rise houses are higher."
While explaining to Mu Youling, he released his supernatural powers to detect any anomalies within a ten-meter radius.
Lao Guai slept until noon before waking up. With a gloomy face, he added some coal to the stove and cooked a pot of potatoes as usual. He leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and took out the last cigarette from his pocket.
He looked at the cigarette in his hand with an impatient look on his face, but still lit it. He took two puffs and quickly put it out and put it in his pocket.
Zhao Qingqing and Xiao Juan looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Zhao Qingqing squatted beside Lao Guai with a fawning look on her face and forced a smile, "Guai, Uncle Guai!" She almost vomited at this name.
Suppressing his inner disgust, he continued, "Look, we've been here for so long, the food must be running out."
Lao Guai was a little surprised to see her approaching him on her own initiative. These girls usually acted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw him, but today it was strange.
After hearing what Zhao Qingqing said, Lao Guai did not reply, but was thinking about the food in the small room, including 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of potatoes, and about 50 kilograms of other scattered items. These were all robbed by him, so he would not be short of food for the time being.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Qingqing said again: "Uncle Guai, there are still several people in our family. What should we do if there is not enough food?"
Lao Guai narrowed his eyes and listened carefully to what Zhao Qingqing said. He wanted to see what these girls were going to do.
Seeing that he was still silent, Zhao Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "How about you take me with you to look for supplies? We will be stronger with two of us." As she spoke, her voice could no longer hold back and tremble.
Lao Guai then realized their little plan and snorted coldly.
Zhao Qingqing was so frightened by his voice that she collapsed to the ground, her hands and feet went limp, and her heart was pounding.
"Want to go out?" Lao Guai grabbed her hair.
"Ah!" The intense pain spread from her scalp to the soles of her feet. Zhao Qingqing begged for mercy, "No, no, I just want to have a full meal!"
"Have you eaten enough?" Lao Guai picked up a pair of chopsticks from the stove, poked a half-cooked potato from the pot, and stuffed it directly into Zhao Qingqing's mouth.
His eyes widened as he said fiercely, "I let you eat! It's good enough that I give you something to eat, and you still want to have a full meal?"
"Ah! Ah! Woo!!!" Zhao Qingqing screamed in pain as she was burned by the scalding potatoes. Her hair was grabbed tightly and she couldn't break free.
Xiao Juan was also frightened and started crying. She quickly ran to Zhao Qingqing, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lao Guai, "Please, we won't dare to do it again. Please let Qingqing go!" She kowtowed and cried.
Lao Guai was annoyed by her crying and threw the potato with chopsticks stuck in it back into the pot. He picked up the heavy clothes on the sofa and put them on. "If you have any other evil thoughts, I will kill you and eat your flesh!"
After saying that, he carried Wang Lu, who had an expressionless face in the corner, out.
"Lulu!" Xiao Juan watched him carry Wang Lu away and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Lao Guai glared at her fiercely and she dared not take another step forward.
Wang Lu did not resist at all. When she looked at Xiao Juan at the end, there was no trace of emotion on her face and she felt hopeless.
Xiao Juan clearly saw a smile on her face, a smile of relief.
He knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying helplessly.
Zhao Qingqing's lips, which were burned nearby, turned red and soon developed blisters of varying sizes. She didn't dare touch them and could only shiver and endure the pain.
Xiao Juan helped Zhao Qingqing up and cried and apologized, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I shouldn't have given you this bad idea! I made you suffer like this."
Zhao Qingqing shook her head numbly, unable to utter a word.
Inside the room, the only sounds were the two girls crying and a boiling pot on the stove.
Lao Guai carried Wang Lu to the ground. The cold weather made Wang Lu shiver instantly, and soon his hands and feet were frozen purple.
"Damn it, all of you girls are disobedient. What's the point of being out there? You want to go out every day." Lao Guai looked like he was doing this for your own good.
We arrived at a construction site, where there was a half-finished foundation. There was a two or three meter thick layer of ice in the foundation, which was four or five meters above the ground.
"If you didn't want to commit suicide, I wouldn't be willing to throw you out." He muttered to himself.
The three girls before all committed suicide after being bullied by Lao Guai. Seeing Wang Lu's horrible appearance, it's easy to imagine that she would commit suicide.
Lao Guai stood at the edge of the place and threw Wang Lu off his shoulder. There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Hearing this sound, he smiled with satisfaction and went in another direction.
Wang Lu felt severe pain in every inch of his flesh and blood, and a large amount of blood flowed out and quickly froze into ice.
Blurred room.
Wang Lu saw that the people around her were frozen into ice sculptures. They were the three classmates who had been killed earlier.
Looking at the white sky with despair, he died with injustice in his eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Yuyao felt a slight fluctuation and quickly rushed to the foundation with Mu Youling.
The two looked at the miserable situation in the foundation. Jiang Yuyao frowned, took out a nylon rope, put it on the iron pillar beside, and said to Mu Youling, "Wait for me up there."
"Be careful!" Mu Youling said to her worriedly.
Jiang Yuyao grabbed the rope with both hands, and her supernatural powers emerged, allowing her to quickly slide to the foundation below.
He walked over to Wang Lu and used his supernatural powers to detect her. There was no trace of life. Looking at her appearance, she had just died. He sighed, pulled up the rope, and returned to the ground.
While collecting the rope, he said to Mu Youling, "He just died."
Mu Youling looked serious. It was not surprising that someone died in this weather. What was strange was why the dead were thrown in here. She looked at the four bodies below.
Jiang Yuyao put the rope into the space and pulled Mu Youling, "We are heading in the right direction. Some of these houses must have basements or cellars. We throw people out because we don't want them to die at home."
Mu Youling nodded in agreement, "Then let's keep looking!"
Jiang Yuyao expanded the scope of her supernatural power exploration and continued to lead Mu Youling forward.
