Fourth to the top floor, there are a total of six suites in this territory, including four offices (without kitchen and bathroom pipelines), and two one-bedroom apartments with kitchen and bathroom located at the top corner of the east corridor. At least the pipelines are reserved, and there are also public toilets and miscellaneous facilities. Property room and elevator shaft × 2.
Only one of these spaces on the eighth floor is a safe house, two are trap rooms, and the rest are used for other purposes.
After coming up, go to the corner suite facing the courtyard.
There is a mummy of a monster in this suite, which is completely different from the reptilian form that was just hunted outside.
Its head was chopped off along with its right arm, perhaps due to a guillotine trap like the one in the elevator shaft. It cannot be ruled out that this world has extraordinary abilities and can be chopped off directly, but Superman has not been observed fighting yet.
Not counting his head, his shoulder height is already a head taller than Wang Qi.
The front end of the left arm is a giant claw, and there is a bayonet-shaped bony protrusion on the elbow.
The feet are roughly similar to those of humans, and the entire lower limbs are very developed. They seem to be formed by walking on tiptoes for a long time, and they look like cow legs. The front of the feet has sharp claws, and the toes are much longer than humans.
It also had a large tail, as long as the headless corpse was tall.
This monster corpse has a small amount of rot and perforations, which is suspected to be due to the season. The rot has completely dried before it spread to the whole body.
The surface had been partially carbonized for at least ten years, so he didn't touch it after taking over.
Drying monster corpses can prove that the ventilation environment in this suite is good, so there are several more shelves in the living room for air-drying meat.
Hang up the trophies on your hands.
The reptile's leg meat has not separated yet, so he doesn't plan to do it now. Let the wind blow first, and it will be easier to handle when the exoskeleton loses water to a certain extent.
Cut off a few taels from the semi-dried meat that was previously reserved, cut off a small piece of fat, and withdraw.
Take the food to the utility room next to the elevator shaft.
There was a fuel-fired generator in the utility room, as well as a few plastic barrels, but sadly not a drop of petrol or diesel.
Now, Wang Qi uses the utility room as a kitchen.
Pick up a columnar object from the tool rack.
A simple fire storage device made of two tinplate cans. Just put a few pieces of carbon and close the air outlet to ensure more than ten hours of fire ignition. You also need to regularly add fodder and clean up ashes when not in use.
Make a nest with hay in the embers accumulation area on the ground, open the tinder storage jar, pour it in, and blow air.
Wait for the smoke to rise, put a few pieces of wood on it, exit the utility room and leave the door ajar.
Cutting down trees in an environment surrounded by monsters is an act of seeking death. The fuel he currently uses is mainly wooden furniture and wooden door fragments collected nearby.
You also have to be careful with smoke. If you let the thick smoke spread on the eighth floor and concentrate it through any gaps, it might attract even stranger things.
Therefore, he used the length of the original ventilation pipes in the building as much as possible to build a fire. He had observed that when a fire was lit in a utility room, no smoke could be seen coming out of the top floor. A straighter flue would not have this effect.
Through the ajar door, you see an open flame inside. Wait for the smoke to dissipate, then open the door to continue the next step.
I poured out part of the plastic bucket filled with water, washed the food, and pierced it with a steel drill to start baking.
Sitting on the generator yourself.
For a month, he ate raw food most of the time, enjoying cooked food only a few days ago.
It's not that he never saw the teaching of making fire by friction in his previous life, it's just that he didn't have ready-made memories when he traveled back in time, so learning to survive in this world took up most of his energy. Only after he has figured out the habits of the reptile monsters, can hunt stably, and has enough calories to waste a few hours making a fire, can he think about improving his life.
The water source in front of me was taken from the snow everywhere, and I got a lot of barrels to store it. The food was taken from the monsters, and the wood as the fuel source was taken from other buildings. I kept a certain amount, but I couldn't afford to waste it.
Next comes the issue of loneliness.
He used to think he could tolerate being alone.
In this world, there are no fools making noises, teachers’ movies are no longer available, and there are no bosses in the canteen who can ask about the weather. It will really cause anxiety.
This kind of anxiety is still bearable at the moment, and even after decades of living in the steel jungle, I am still relatively calm at the moment.
But what about one year from now or ten years from now?
Finding ways to engage with neighbors head-on should be the main goal in the next phase.
If there is a girl on the other side and you suffer a little loss, maybe humanity will have a chance to prosper again...
After thinking about it for a while, the fat mass was already sizzling with oil.
Apply the dripping fat to the meat, lift it up to dry slightly, and eat the remaining fat directly. It's a bit like butter, but has a thin texture.
The meat is grilled a little longer before eating.
That's it for today.
Save the fire, extinguish the flames on the wood with water and put it aside. Use a steel drill to pick up the remaining small pieces of carbon that are still burning and place them in a shallow basin next to it.
There are already many large and small carbon blocks in the shallow water basin, which are mainly used to make drinking water filters. After all, boiling water consumes too much fuel, and the risk of smoke emission will also increase simultaneously.
Ignore some small sparks, just clean up some embers to make sure they don't ignite the pile of wood next to the door.
Get ready for bed.
The safe house is located at the top corner of the building facing the street, with a total area of less than 40 square meters. The layout is a living room with its own bathroom and bedroom. There is no kitchen space. Before the disaster, it was probably used as the boss's office or as a single residence.
The location of the safe house originally had excellent lighting. Except for the bathroom and bedroom on the side of the fire escape, there were exterior windows on two entire walls.
Now it's all sealed up, and it's almost pitch black when you enter.
But in Wang Qi's eyes, it's not dark, it's just that the vision becomes black and white, similar to the effect captured by a starlight camera.
There are curtains to block the light, and cabinets that press the curtains against the wall. Other than that, there is only a desk large enough for one person to sleep in the living room.
It is crude and already the safest location among the places explored.
When he first came to this world, he was in the safe house on the sixth floor, but in his eyes, the safety of that place was quite limited.
The office space on the sixth floor is used as a safe room, leaving two doors facing the corridor. The windows on the exterior wall facing the street are not sealed, leaving the possibility of jumping out of the window at any time.
Ordinary doors are almost equivalent to an open environment in front of monsters like the mummy on the eighth floor. As a result, Wang Qi's sleep quality was extremely poor and he had to change the safe house.
Although the safe house on the eighth floor has only one door, this door is not simple.
This is a safety door with a damaged original lock, with a total thickness of approximately 70 millimeters.
It can be seen from the drilling of the lock that the door is made of five millimeter-thick steel plates both inside and outside, which is already thicker than the single layer of most home safes, and there is a support structure in the middle. Probably the original room not only served as an office, but also had a cash reserve function, so that's why there was such a door.
The outer door frame was also artificially modified, and short steel bars were driven into the wall inside and outside to block the door frame and prevent the entire door frame from shifting.
After the original lock was destroyed, the current door bolts were made of rebar, including the weapon in his hand that was used as a latch after he returned to the house.
With this door, even if a living mummy monster wanted to break through, judging from the weight analysis, it would probably take him half an hour, or even not be able to break through at all. This time would be enough for him to pack up his emergency survival supplies, calmly open the exterior wall window, and arrange a rope to escape. .
After entering the house and placing all the latches on the door frame, all the muscles in the body were completely relaxed.
Go to the bathroom to get some water, clean up your personal hygiene, and then go to the bedroom to sleep.
Having black and white vision in a dark environment is specially developed for night walking, so it is natural to stay in the day and come out at night.
…
After a good sleep, you get rid of the seal of the quilt, put on your coat and pants, put on your soft-soled canvas shoes, and start a new day's survival challenge.
The days are short here, and when I wake up it is completely dark outside, and the moon has not yet risen above the horizon.
Remove the steel bar used as the door bolt and place it gently on the cloth pad next to it. Finally, take out the cloth and wrap it around the handle. Hold the beveled steel bar at the front end in your hand and gently open the door.
Every day begins with checking the corridor on the eighth floor.
Checked everything on the fourth floor, went to the mummy room to get meat and fat, and went to the utility room to light a fire.
Because of the fear that the light coming from the crack in the door would attract additional enemies, the night fire was not at the same point as the day fire, but was located in a corner blocked by an abandoned generator.
The smoke in the corner is more likely to hit your eyes, so you can only cook with squinted eyes.
He considered eating all the food together during the day, and finally the idea of eating something hot won.
After the night breakfast, the embers were treated as during the day and work began.
Go to the roof first and check the water reserves.
Wang Qi arranged many containers on the roof, including iron buckets, plastic buckets, drinking buckets, basins and jars.
There was a snowfall of nearly ten centimeters on the roof in a month. Since then, the body temperature has been dropping, and I suspect that the big one has not come yet.
There are many containers on the roof with various textures. The heavy fog that is fixed for a few hours every morning ensures that there will still be some condensation water left when there is no precipitation.
It is easy to be observed from a distance when going up to the roof during the day, so he always comes up at night, collects the water in some manually assembled condensation containers, and puts it into a plastic drinking bucket.
The drinking buckets used in drinking fountains in this world only have fifteen liters, and it would take four days to store a bucket without precipitation. His usual water consumption is based on this. He put all the extra water brought by precipitation on the 11th floor. When it needs to be transported to the 8th floor, he uses charcoal to purify the water. Domestic water uses a simpler filtration method.
I collected the scattered water and went to the 11th floor to fill up the plastic bottle for drinking water with a simple filter.
Next comes the routine inspection.
From the roof to the fourth floor, scan all corridors, debris piles (obstacles), and traps.
Next, go to the backup safe house on the sixth floor and wait.
Waiting for today's plug-in to arrive.
