Late at night, dark and noisy.
Following the children, Lin An struggled through the maze-like factory building.
Sewage was flowing across the river, and with the faint moonlight, they were like rats in the sewer, walking through the narrow passages.
The smell of low-quality perfume and gasoline was everywhere, and occasionally there was a sour smell.
The smell here is like a fermented corpse soaked in essence.
Lin An subconsciously looked up to the top of his head.
Faintly, he could see some firelight.
That's gasoline or plastic burning together to bring some warmth to the cold late night.
Although Lin An always felt that maybe people who were warming themselves up would be choked to death.
The bursts of black smoke were like the chimney of a crematorium, puffing out ash.
Like the market, the area behind the factory, which was originally employee dormitories, was transformed into something similar to a shanty town. The iron houses and tents erected haphazardly, like parasites, entangled between the three buildings.
If there is a fire, this place will probably turn into purgatory in an instant.
But it's obvious that the people living here no longer care about this.
"Ah~~ahhh!!"
"Oh...ahhhhh!!"
The shrill screams of women mixed with the gasps of men.
As he went deeper and deeper into this area, Lin An frowned slightly. He seemed to feel that the place was rotten, and there was the sound of flesh colliding in every "room".
All kinds of messy underwear hang randomly on ropes and poles. In the corridor, from time to time you can see a naked woman standing outside taking a shower with an expressionless face.
"Sir...it's right in front..."
"Audrey...she lives in this staff dormitory."
His voice was filled with guilt and uneasiness. An Dunyin nervously held the jar in his arms and motioned Lin An to look up at the largest building not far away.
staff dorm?
Lin An couldn't help but look around and whispered in his heart.
This place doesn't look like a dormitory, it looks more like...
As if he sensed the strange look Lin An cast on him, Anduin hurriedly waved his hand and explained in a low voice:
"Sir, this is really a staff dormitory! People from the factory live here!"
"Besides, if you are not a skilled worker and have connections, you won't be able to live here!"
After the words fell, Lin An nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, although it still looks like a rotting garbage dump. But compared to where Anduin and others live, it can be considered a mansion.
He saw many women along the way, and Lin An could imagine that this was some kind of "preferential treatment."
Didn't go long.
After going all the way up the stairs covered with sticky mud. It seemed that they had arrived at the floor where Audrey lived.
Anduin seemed a little excited, and ran to a room with the jar in his arms without caring about the last few steps.
"Audrey! Open the door quickly! It's me!"
"Look what I brought here! That...I brought it here too!"
"Bang bang bang!"
He knocked hard, but the person inside didn't seem to respond.
Standing behind Anduin, Lin An's eyes flashed with curiosity. Even here, he could hear the screams of many women. Occasionally, the man who walked out of the corridor room would hold up his pants in a hurry, drop a piece of food, and then go downstairs to leave.
But in just a few seconds, Lin An saw many women waving at him.
What surprised him most about such a chaotic place was that several children seemed to be used to it.
Anduin's little lover?
Perhaps because there was no response to the knock on the door, Anduin suddenly became anxious. After handing the tin can in his hand to a child, he quickly climbed to the window on the door to check.
Seeing Anduin being so impatient, Lin An could easily come up with a somewhat deformed "love" story.
Prostitutes, teenagers, doomsday, serious illness.
He didn't mean to accuse anyone. Children of the apocalypse are often very mature.
The next second, just when Lin An felt something was wrong, Anduin climbed up the small window and suddenly screamed. After jumping down with a bang, he kicked the door as hard as crazy.
"Audrey!! Audrey!!"
"Stop! Stop it quickly!!"
"boom!"
The rusty simple iron door was suddenly kicked open.
After kicking the door open, Anduin rolled and crawled, yelling and rushing in.
The dream is dark.
Realizing that there seemed to be some special situation, Lin An also looked over.
Suddenly, after seeing the room clearly with the help of weak light, Lin An was suddenly stunned.
In a humid room with only a small bed, a little girl who looked younger than Anduin was squeezing the neck of a baby.
Her hands were as slender as flax straw, but those hands were as strong as "steel bars".
Numb eyes stared straight at the child who was about to be strangled to death by him, completely ignoring that the baby's face was already livid and his young hands were struggling feebly.
"Audrey! Let go! Let go!!"
"Sister, no! Let go! You will strangle him to death!"
The children rushed forward in a swarm. Anduin's face turned pale. After he opened the girl's hands with all his strength, he gasped for air and looked at Audrey who was pulled away by him in shock.
Seeing the girl's crazy behavior, Anduin was angry and sad, but his lips trembled twice. After a long time, as if begging, he let the children bring the things he bought.
"Audrey, I beg you, I beg you please stop doing this."
The voice was choked.
The children on the side also gathered around and hurriedly looked after the baby.
Standing behind the children, Lin An was keenly aware that this might not be the first time such a crazy thing happened.
Audrey? Infanticide?
