Chapter 0089 A small dark room full of fragrance
The humble backpack becomes a symbol of hope.
Very good!
My heart was reveling, but I suppressed my huge surprise, turned away and buried my head even lower.
The short and strong man standing at the door was Cao Jinwang, who was wearing the same security uniform.
He, like Hooked Nose and Pockmarked Face, is the administrator here.
The pockmarked man was sitting in the room, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, his face was red and his eyes were drunk, and he was yelling towards the door with his tongue sticking out.
"Pointy Nose, you, stop framing me! Today I will definitely...hiccup...serve meals for those two newcomers. You can do it yourself. If you fail in your work, don't think of blaming me..."
"Don't be so mean to me, you pockmarked man! I'll deal with you after I've dealt with these two beasts!" The hook-nosed man replied unyieldingly.
"There is no problem with the people I bring. You two should solve your own problems and don't involve me!" After saying this, the short and strong Cao Jinwang returned to the room.
"None of them are good!" The hook-nosed man cursed, and finally stopped at a door and opened it with the key.
It was dark inside, and with the faint light from the corridor, I could only make out that it was a very small room.
"Get in!" the hook-nosed man said impatiently.
I didn't dare ask more questions and walked into the house with Zhao Xiaohai on my back.
Bang!
The door closed and the sound of it being locked could be heard.
I put Zhao Xiaohai near the door, then fumbled on the wall for a long time, but couldn't find the light switch. Instead, my hands were covered with a lot of wet and sticky mucus.
"what!"
There was also a fishy smell in the room, but it was much better than the workshop where people were almost roasted to death.
"Xiao Hai, how are you?"
"Brother, brother..." Zhao Xiaohai grabbed my clothes tightly, "I, I saw my brother, he remembered me, I, I want to save him."
He struggled to stand up from the ground, but his body was too weak.
"Don't worry, I think I know who your brother is. Take a rest first. When you feel better, we'll think of a solution!" I said, pressing his shoulder.
"I knew that my brother still remembered me..." Zhao Xiaohai's shoulders shook and he sobbed excitedly.
I patted his shoulder, said nothing more, and sat down on the cold floor. After resting for a while, I began to grope in the dark room.
Why didn't the hook-nosed man take us back to the dormitory instead of locking us up in this dark room?
The room is not wide, but seems very long. I groped for a long time but still couldn't reach the end of the room.
In the deepest part of the room, it seemed as if something was lurking, ready to move.
Rustle, rustle——
A faint sound was heard in the darkness, like the sound of some animal crawling.
My heart suddenly rose up, and I held on to the slippery wall and slowly backed away.
Unarmed, I was tense all over, clenched my fists, and was on guard carefully and cautiously.
Rustle, rustle——
The sound is getting closer, that thing is coming!
Zhao Xiaohai stopped crying and he also noticed the strange movements in the room.
"Brother Yunfeng, what, what is that?"
"Shh! Be quiet!"
I stepped back cautiously, and in the dark I didn't know what I stepped on and almost fell.
That thing is very hard, maybe it can be used as a weapon.
I leaned over and fumbled on the ground for a while, and finally touched the strange object that almost tripped me.
It looks like an animal shell, with a hard body and sharp edges.
Just right!
I held the broken shell tightly in my hand and held it across my chest.
Slowly, he was pushed against the cold door.
The rustling noises in the depths of the room never stopped, but they were no longer approaching. That thing seemed to be lingering in the same place.
Why don't you come over?
There was no light in the room. It was so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me. I couldn't see what was happening in front of me. My heart was pounding.
After waiting for a while, a new strange sound suddenly rang out.
Gurgle Gurgle——
It's similar to the sound your stomach makes when you're hungry.
Gurgle gurgle——click——
It was as if a pool of sticky liquid was spilled on the ground, and then a strange fragrance spread.
This taste...
My eyes suddenly widened.
Isn’t this the dark aroma in the lunch box?
While I was shocked, I suddenly realized something.
This is where that black stuff is produced!
This food can turn people into strong green-haired monsters, so Hooked Nose drove us into this cabin.
The rich fragrance, like a gentle little hand, teased the glutton in my stomach. My saliva came out in waves, but I didn't dare to move.
Who knows what produces this kind of food?
It feels to me more like a living object.
"Brother Yunfeng, I'm hungry..." Zhao Xiaohai was about to lose control of himself.
I stopped him: "Don't eat it, think about your brother, you have to stay awake and save your brother from suffering!"
"Yes! I want to save my brother, I want to save my brother..." Zhao Xiaohai kept repeating this sentence, trying hard to resist the temptation of the fragrance.
We both kept swallowing our saliva, huddled together in the dark, and encouraged each other.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, filling the entire dark cabin and enveloping us tightly.
I gritted my teeth and plucked up my courage to grope on the ground. If I could find something sharp and thin, maybe I could open the door lock.
Although I know the hope is slim, if I don’t find something to do at this moment, I may not be able to resist the temptation of the fragrance.
Zhao Xiaohai, like me, was groping around on the ground in a daze.
"Meow--"
At this moment, a very small cat's meow suddenly came from outside the door.
I was stunned and quickly ran to the door, put my ear to the rough door panel, and called out cautiously: "Wangcai?"
"Meow!"
Half a second later, a response came from outside the door.
It really is it!
I knew nothing would happen to this fat, stinky cat!
Besides being excited, I was also deeply moved. I never thought that it could find this place.
"Brother Yunfeng, is this your cat? It's really smart!" Zhao Xiaohai said.
"Wangcai, my backpack is in the room over there, on a table. There are three people inside. Can you..." I stopped halfway through my speech.
The backpack is too big, and even if Wangcai finds a chance to steal it, he can’t fit it into the door.
key?
No, cats won’t open doors.
cell phone?
No matter what, time is running out, let’s give it a try!
"Wangcai, there is a big black cell phone in my backpack. If you can help me steal it, I will reward you with three roast ducks when I go back!"
"Meow!" Wangcai outside responded and seemed to have left.
I don't know if it understood.
Wait, now all that's left is another long wait.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fragrance in the room slowly faded away, and it seemed that the sticky liquid would lose its effect if it was not consumed in time.
When the fragrance completely disappeared, footsteps were heard outside the door.
After a series of keys jingling, the door opened.
"Where are the people?"
Dim light poured in from the door, but the drunken Hooked Nose saw nothing and walked into the room in confusion.
Bang!
I hid behind the door and suddenly smashed the shell in my hand on his head.
