Chen Xing's scalp hurt more and more, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Driven by instinct, he picked up the gun and injected psychic energy into the bullet in the chamber.
"Shashasha..."
Subtle footsteps came from far away and stopped at the door.
For a moment, Chen Xing's heart was in his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Two things are certain now. First, he is no match for the creatures outside the door, and his danger perception has never been misjudged; second, there is only one exit here, and he has nowhere to escape.
"What bad luck!" He couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Suddenly, a chill hit, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, a blue light shone outside the door, and then a looming ice shield appeared in front of you. Behind the ice shield stood a young man in black dress, his eyes cold and calm.
The moment he saw Roy, Chen Xing's brows jumped and he almost pulled the trigger. Roy had already had murderous intentions towards him before. When they met here, there was no one around, and he was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to kill him. Fortunately, he was covered from head to toe, so as long as he didn't speak, the other party wouldn't recognize him.
He slowed down his breathing, resisted the urge to shoot, maintained his aiming position, and waited for the other party to leave.
"Who?" Roy asked, his voice emotionless.
Chen Xing didn't speak or change his movements, he just looked at the other party quietly. He couldn't speak, for if he spoke, his identity would be revealed. These children from aristocratic families may be arrogant, but they are by no means fools.
Seeing that he didn't move and Roy didn't make any next move, the two just faced off. As time passed by, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, as if the slightest movement would trigger a life-and-death fight.
In Chen Xing's spiritual sea, the trio of runes were blooming with dazzling light, at the critical point of eruption.
After an unknown amount of time, Roy slowly retreated and finally disappeared into the darkness. The tingling sensation on his scalp gradually eased, and Chen Xing took a long breath. If there was a fight, he would only have one shot, and he was not sure how much power the bullet would have left after it shattered the ice shield. If the other party can take the initiative to retreat, this is the best result.
After confirming that the other party was gone, Chen Xing came to the door of the next room again, picked up the assault rifle on his back, grabbed the runner on the door with both hands, and twisted it hard.
"Crunch..."
The roulette wheel made a harsh friction sound, and the rust continued to fall from the gaps. With a "clang", the iron door shook and slowly opened.
Shining a flashlight inside, it was empty. Swipe left and right, and there's a body leaning against the corner. Chen Xing picked up the gun, aimed at the corpse's head, and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da!"
There was a flash of fire, and the corpse's head exploded. Chen Xing lowered his gun and moved over. The body was completely dry and shattered when touched. The beam of light shines up, reflecting the bright light of stars.
There is something!
Chen Xing squatted down and found a pen among the dead bones.
[Diamond-encrusted fountain pen (Brand: Sally), manufactured by pre-Cataclysm craftsmanship, collectible, unidentified]
[Market price valuation: 2000~? Gold coins (Orchid Town) 2000~? Gold Coin (Dragonstone)]
Seeing the valuation, Chen Xing couldn't help but grin, wiped it on his arm, and put it in his coat pocket. Then he found a gold watch and a notebook among the bones.
[Diamond-encrusted gold watch (Brand: Jade Dragon), made with pre-catastrophic craftsmanship, collectible, unidentified]
[Market price estimate: 1500~? Gold coins (Orchid Town) 1500~? Gold Coin (Dragonstone)]
The notes are small, only about the size of a palm, and are not corrupted. When I opened it, I found that the words on it were densely packed, and there were some incomprehensible symbols and patterns. They should be the researchers' personal notes.
Chen Xing turned directly to the end.
"Dr2242-01-07, today, my knowledge has been refreshed. It seems that the laws of the previous sages can be rewritten. Will I become another Renard?"
"Dr2242-01-21, even though I experienced that huge disaster, I still find it hard to believe that such a thing exists in the world. Is it a creation of the gods or another branch of technology? How does it work? What's it like?"
"Dr2242-01-26, tomorrow will be the beginning of an era, and I am one of the witnesses."
The date points to the end of January in Dr. 2242, and the previous diary also ended during this time period. It can be guessed that they conducted an experiment on "antiques", and then the experiment failed, and everyone in the survival center died.
It seems that this "antique" is very dangerous. Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, then put away his things and continued exploring. As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, and money can be obtained in fire. If you want to make money, you can't cherish your life too much. Recently, he has been overwhelmed by this group of children from aristocratic families. In the final analysis, it is because of poverty.
Others have family backing, but he does not. When I traveled here, I was alone and without any friends. If I wanted to become stronger, I could only rely on myself and work hard!
He had made up his mind that even if he died, he would die on the road to becoming strong. Even an ant is an ant who wants to climb to the top. Even if I die, I will have no regrets.
"Bang!"
I opened the next iron door and was about to look in when suddenly there was a dull crashing sound from behind. He quickly retracted and looked warily at the way he came.
The sound seemed to come from far away. He hesitated for a few seconds and walked towards the direction of the sound with his gun in hand. I don't know what dangers there are in the newly opened room. If you stay here, you will be easily attacked from both sides.
A few rooms through, he heard the crash again. After walking around for a short distance, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if someone was fighting.
Turning a corner, a tall man was fighting a group of living corpses. Chen Xing recognized at a glance that the man was Zhang Meng.
"Who is there!"
Zhang Meng picked up a living corpse next to him and threw it at Chen Xing. Chen Xing dodged back to avoid the living corpse, and at the same time stepped down and broke the neck of the living corpse. Zhang Meng turned around and charged towards him. He pressed the muzzle of his gun, and a hail of bullets hit the ground, bursting out with bright sparks. His intention was very clear, telling the other party not to come over.
Zhang Meng froze and stopped. Several zombies chased them from behind. Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment, then turned around to fight the zombies.
Chen Xing watched from the side until Zhang Meng finished beating the living corpse. The two looked at each other for a while and left in the opposite direction. The two sides reached an agreement silently, and the water in the river would not interfere with the water in the well.
Returning to the previous room, several khaki living corpses were wandering aimlessly.
"Whoa!"
Upon discovering Chen Xing, the living corpses stretched out their hands and rushed over.
Chen Xing quickly poured psychic energy into the bullets and fired three bursts, knocking the nearest zombie backwards. At the same time, he pulled out the reinforced silver star on his waist and shot at the zombies behind him.
The charging time of the assault rifle is too long, and the bullet power is not as powerful as the reinforced Silver Star.
"Bang bang bang!"
The living corpse was beaten and staggered, trying to get up and continue the attack. The khaki living corpse has extremely strong vitality. Even if it is shot in the head with a gun, it will still take more than ten blows.
After a while, half of the bullets on Chen Xing's body were used up, and several living corpses fell to the ground. He pulled out his dagger, pried open the back of the living corpse's head, and took out a few crystals. Wiping the blood on his pants, he walked towards the next room.
