Chapter 393: Mutation - Loneliness 2
With a crisp and short "crack" sound, a crack as thin as a hair instantly appeared on the solid eggshell.
Anjiu took all his strength and smashed it hard into the crack.
The cracks continued to spread, and slight cracking sounds continued to be heard. As Anjiu poked a small hole with her fingers, the scene outside finally appeared before her eyes.
This is a very shabby room with mottled and dilapidated walls.
The pool wall not far from her had faded in color and was covered with cracks and stains. A mass of black brown algae grew in the corners, like a dead toad.
——She didn’t see the person just now.
You have to get out of the eggshell quickly while the other party is away.
After more than ten seconds, Anjiu finally crawled out of the eggshell. The liquid inside the eggshell flowed silently along the broken edge into the pool under her feet, mixing with the original water-like liquid.
Anjiu grabbed the umbilical cord again, wrapped it around his hand and fixed it firmly, then pulled it hard and completely pulled it off.
She carefully examined her belly button and found several corn-silk-like threads on it.
But there was no special feeling when cleaning it, just like pulling out a hair.
Touching his belly button that had been found again, Anjiu tucked the corner of his clothes into his pants with peace of mind and tightened his belt to prevent something like this from happening again.
After climbing out of the pool, Anjiu stood on the edge and looked around the room.
The room was not big and she was the only one there.
Unlike ordinary rooms, this house has a rectangular swimming pool in the center.
The depth is about 1.2 meters, and there is a layer of liquid at the bottom that just covers the ankles.
There are more than ten eggshells like the one Anjiu was in in this pond.
But not all eggs can be successfully 'hatched'.
Anjiu walked forward a few steps, squatted down, and looked at the soft-shelled eggs below.
The color of the eggshell has turned brown, and it has collapsed inward, and the outline of a human being can be vaguely seen inside.
The skeleton is relatively large, so it should be a male, but unfortunately he died for unknown reasons.
After walking around the pond, Anjiu discovered that most of the eggs were soft-shelled. The only one or two left were because the eggshells were too hard and the life force inside was insufficient, so they could not escape on their own and thus suffocated to death.
But there is one exception.
Just like her, she successfully escaped from the eggshell.
Anjiu felt that this might be the person he chose.
But he is no longer in this room and his whereabouts are unknown for the time being.
She didn't plan to follow them. There was no surveillance equipment here. If she was alone, she could first see if there was any supplies that could be collected.
To the right of the pool was a clothes rack with fifteen dusty jumpsuits neatly hung on it.
The surface of the wine starts to fall off with just a slight touch.
These clothes have reached the end of their useful life. If you take them back, they will just be burned in the fire. There is no point in keeping them and they will take up space.
Opposite the door, there stood a huge machine with rust all over its metal shell, as if it had been eliminated for a long time.
Anjiu tried to pull the lever.
There was a sudden rustling sound from inside.
Then, a disc extended from the machine, containing some dark, chocolate-like food.
There was also a glass of water next to it, but the water was green and you could see with the naked eye that there were a lot of debris floating quietly in it.
Anjiu picked up a pill, put it on the ground and smashed it open with the back of a knife.
A small wisp of smoke floated out along the broken edge, and Anjiu smelled a sweet scent.
She suddenly felt very hungry, as if there was a fire burning in her stomach. The empty feeling spread along her body to her limbs. The intense feeling of hunger made it unbearable for her, as if every cell was urging her to eat the food quickly.
Anjiu blinked his eyes to relieve his brain from becoming dizzy due to hunger.
But when she reacted, she was already chewing the black food in her mouth.
When did she eat it?
Different from their dark appearance, these black bean-like foods have a mellow and mysterious aroma. Their taste is as smooth and rich as chocolate, and they also have an indescribable unique flavor similar to black truffles.
Anjiu grabbed another handful from the plate and examined it carefully.
——Not only is the surface dull, but the texture also looks a bit like a grenade. Each grain is very uniform in size. I don’t know how long they have been there. Judging from the taste, they should not be expired.
Anjiu spat out the black skin in his mouth that he couldn't chew, and realized that it was the outer packaging of the food.
Needless to say, it's quite delicious.
There was no sign of anything unusual happening to his body for the time being, so Anjiu put all the energy beans on the plate into the space.
Save it as a snack for later.
She pulled the lever again, trying to take back more.
However, the machine stopped moving at this time.
Anjiu pulled the pin several times in desperation, forcing the machine to display a message saying "daily limit per person".
……All right.
After making sure there were no other supplies in the room, she walked to the door, silently opened a crack and looked out.
There was also a door on the opposite side, and on the wall next to it there was a small shelf with a candle burning on it, which could only illuminate an area of more than two meters, and then it became much dimmer.
The corridor was silent.
After making sure it was safe, Anjiu gently poked his head out.
In the long corridor, a candle was lit every two meters, making the entire corridor quite bright.
There were many doors on both sides, which were very thick and fitted tightly against the walls. They seemed to be well sealed, but they were all tightly closed.
Anjiu took a lot of effort to push open the door opposite.
After walking in, I found that the layout here was exactly the same as the room I had just been in.
There is also a rectangular swimming pool in the middle of the house.
But the water at the bottom of the pond had dried up, and the soft-shelled egg had become shriveled, like a dehydrated string bean, with a dried, curled-up corpse wrapped inside.
There are fifteen eggs in total, and each one is like this.
No one survived.
Anjiu paused, walked to the machine as quietly as possible, took out one person's worth of food and put it into the space.
The rustling sound suddenly sounded. This sound belonged here, but not now. She even had a feeling that this sound did not belong to her.
This thought was very strange. Anjiu thought that she might be affected by the corpse, so she abandoned the messy thoughts, turned around and left, going to the next door.
However, the same is true here.
A dried-up pond, fifteen shriveled soft-shelled eggs, each containing a shriveled and stiff corpse, without any living life at all.
There were twelve rooms in this corridor, and she looked at eleven of them, all of which were identical.
It was as if she was the only one alive on this floor, and there was no sign of any life at all.
There was no trace of any of her fellow villagers, except that when she walked by, the candle flame was stretched by the air flow, lengthening her shadow.
It gave her the illusion that someone was following her.
But when she turned around, there was only an empty and dark corridor in front of her.
In the dead silent air, there was a sound of very light footsteps, "ta, ta", approaching sadly.
