Chapter 5: Room 2706
In the dim, unlit corridor, Su Qinghan tossed the backpack she was carrying to Xiao Mumu, letting her carry it; the empty backpack was still very light for her to carry.
The two walked one after the other in the corridor, and after a short while, they reached the staircase; Su Qinghan shone the flashlight in her hand down the stairs, the very bottom of the extending staircase was completely submerged in rainwater, and from time to time, splashing sounds could be heard.
Xiao Mumu stopped in front of the staircase, not daring to walk towards the darkness below, however, Su Qinghan didn't care at all, lifted her foot and walked down the stairs.
“Ma...Master, wait for me...” Xiao Mumu watched the descending light, she didn't dare to stay here, and hurriedly followed.
“Tap tap tap......”
The footsteps of the two echoed continuously in the narrow stairwell, as if some strange thing would appear in the next second; just as Xiao Mumu was walking in fear, she suddenly bumped into Su Qinghan in front of her.
She looked up in confusion and saw Su Qinghan holding a flashlight, shining it on the floor sign on the wall.
Xiao Mumu looked at the large "27" written in green paint on the white wall, not quite understanding what Su Qinghan was doing on the 27th floor.
Watching Su Qinghan walk towards the corridor of the 27th floor, even though her heart was filled with countless doubts, she still followed, she was sure that if she didn't listen to Su Qinghan, the lightest punishment would be being tied to the bed and starved for a few days, the most severe punishment......
Xiao Mumu touched her neck and quickly followed; after a short while, Su Qinghan stopped in front of the door of room number "2706"; the houses in this residential complex were all the same, so the layout inside the room was similar to 3006.
Su Qinghan took out a small bag from her pocket, opened the bag, and slowly took out a steel wire from it, folded both ends of the steel wire, and slowly inserted it into the lock.
Su Qinghan’s fingers holding the steel wire moved, then with a sudden twist, with a click, the locked door was opened.
“Out of practice, it used to take only ten seconds to open this kind of door.” Su Qinghan muttered in a low voice, then gently pushed the door open, the beam of the flashlight illuminating the appearance of the living room.
Expensive green plants were placed on both sides of the leather sofa, and the marble table was neatly filled with various foods, canned goods, mineral water, bagged chicken legs...... This made Xiao Mumu drool.
Su Qinghan chuckled and said to Xiao Mumu, whose eyes were shining beside her: “Go put these foods into the backpack, if it can’t fit, there are plastic bags in the backpack.”
A cold wind blew towards Xiao Mumu from the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, only then did she understand what the sound of falling into water she had heard earlier was.
The people living here probably saw no hope of survival, staying here was just slowly waiting for death, so they simply jumped out the window, a long pain is worse than a short one, a hundred times over.
Hearing Su Qinghan’s command, Xiao Mumu immediately walked towards the marble table in the living room, put down the backpack on her back, took out the bags inside, and started packing the food.
Su Qinghan, however, paid no attention to her and walked towards the bedroom with the open door.
Seeing Su Qinghan enter the bedroom, Xiao Mumu’s courage immediately grew, she picked up a bag of chicken legs from the table, tore open the packaging, and started eating, eating while packing food.
She didn’t dare to escape, after all, she couldn’t escape this building, it was more important to quickly fill her stomach now, the food Su Qinghan gave her wasn’t enough to satisfy her hunger at all.
Standing in the bedroom, Su Qinghan subconsciously blocked out the chewing sounds coming from the living room, shone the flashlight around the room, and after finding nothing abnormal, she was somewhat puzzled: “Could it be that it’s not here?”
Thinking, she turned and walked towards the door, just then, a slight noise came from under the bed behind her, as Su Qinghan turned and stepped forward, the noise gradually approached her.
In an unseen place, the corners of Su Qinghan’s mouth slightly curved upwards: “Finally out!”
She suddenly turned around, a sharp small knife that suddenly appeared in her hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, black, foul-smelling viscous blood instantly spurted out, with a “thud”, a strange creature fell to the floor.
Su Qinghan dodged the splattering blood, and strode towards the creature that had fallen not far away and was still twitching, the cold light from her hand fell, lifted, fell......
After more than ten seconds, the strange creature completely stopped moving, Su Qinghan took off the gloves stained with black blood and casually threw them aside.
She shone the flashlight on the creature, only then did she see its appearance clearly, its deep red body was covered with dense tentacles, and there were many branches on the tentacles, estimated to be several hundred tentacles, it looked like a mutated octopus.
So far, no species of octopus has been found living in freshwater.
But for this octopus that looked like it would cause one’s san_value to plummet to appear here was still somewhat reasonable...... right?
Su Qinghan sneered: “So this is what’s here, counting the time, those creatures are starting to appear slowly.”
Saying this, she inserted the small knife in her hand into the mutated octopus’s brain, constantly fiddling with it, after a short while, a completely black, crystal-like object was taken out, she chuckled, washed off the brain matter and such on its surface with the water she carried, and put it in her pocket.
The owner of this room didn't jump out of the building on their own, but was forced to jump by this terrifying monster with no other choice, who knew what would happen if one was injured by this monster?
Xiao Mumu, staying in the living room, completely failed to notice the commotion in the bedroom, completely immersed in the delicious food, in a short while, she ate a bag of chicken legs and a 250ml carton of pure milk.
Feeling that her stomach was no longer hungry, a long-lost smile appeared on her. face.
After she packed all the food on the table, just as she was about to go see what Su Qinghan was doing, Su Qinghan walked out of the bedroom, also with a slight smile on her face.
She looked at the two bags of food by Xiao Mumu’s feet and the full backpack, and said to her: “Let’s go, let’s go back.”
“Master... Can you help carry one bag?” Xiao Mumu carried a bag in her hand, and also had a backpack on her back, clearly looking like she was struggling, looking at her with eyes seeking help.
Su Qinghan chuckled: “Looks like Mumu needs to exercise, she can’t even carry this little bit of stuff.”
Saying this, she strode forward, picked up a bag of food, and walked outside, Xiao Mumu followed behind her, her mind constantly replaying Su Qinghan’s words.
“Exercise? How to exercise? She probably wants to use this to bully me, humiliate me......”
Xiao Mumu, with her head down in dejection, looked at Su Qinghan in front of her, a surge of anger welled up in her heart, but it was quickly extinguished, she knew her own capabilities, she was just a small character completely trampled underfoot, still delusional about resisting......
Just as they were passing the 29th floor, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the corridor of the 29th floor, shining directly on Su Qinghan and Xiao Mumu.
Xiao Mumu was frightened and immediately hid behind Su Qinghan, peeking out with her small head towards the light, only to shockingly discover two figures standing in the corridor, looking at the two of them.
If one were to say what was most terrifying now, it would probably be people.
“Did you come from 2706?”
