Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Chapter 156 White Coat

The fear brought to her at that moment just now was comparable to the previous deaths. Shen Maomao seriously suspected that if she hadn't withdrawn her hand quickly just now, she would have died here directly, but she had no evidence.

Leaving the cage without authorization is probably one of the triggers for death. It seems that Lou Jingmo cannot be found in a short time.

She sat on the bed for a while and felt much better.

Anyway, I can't get out now, it's not wise to sit and waste time, so Shen Maomao got up from the bed and continued to study this small room.

The room has three walls, one wide and the other two narrow. The whole is a rectangle. The bed is placed vertically against the narrow wall on the left.The wall bricks are off-white as a whole, mixed with whole pieces of emerald green moss.

Besides the moss, there seemed to be something written on the wall.

She bravely wiped her hands. Although her hands were sticky and greasy, she could see the words on them clearly—there were rows of dense and neat "positive" carved on the wall. "Word, intensive phobia looks like the kind that wants to hit someone, it seems that the person who once lived in this room is using this method to record time.She counted, no more, no less, there were exactly 100 "positive" on it.

If one stroke represents a day, then the former owner of this cage stayed here for at least 500 days, almost a year and a half.

Yes, cages.

In Shen Maomao's eyes, these rooms are all cages, and they are little birds trapped in the cages. Even if the owner takes the initiative to open the cage door, they dare not spread their wings and soar into the sky.

There is also a small table in the cage, and there is a toilet not far from the table. It seems that the person in charge of the prison intends to let them eat and drink together to solve the problem.

Shen Maomao felt that this place should not be a prison.After all, they can already use flush toilets and electric lights, so they can't afford to install an iron door, right?

The layout of the entire cage is almost like this, bed, table, toilet; sleeping, eating, pulling.There are quilts on the bed, bowls on the table, as for the toiletries, there are none, not to mention the mobile phone WiFi she wants to have.

In order to prevent writing on the other two walls, Shen Maomao picked up a stone on the ground and scraped off all the moss, but found no traces.

But it's not all fruitless - she found a small monitor, which was fixed on the wall directly above the bed, and she tilted her head to cover the entire cage, including the yellowed toilet. .The monitor flashed red, proving that it was still running, and it also recorded all her actions just now.

Shen Maomao was silent for a second, then silently crawled back to the bed, shrank himself in the corner, trying to keep the surveillance camera from seeing him.

It has been a while since she entered the game, but there is still no npc to lead her, or someone to tell her what to do now.

She touched the back of her neck. Although she felt nothing when she touched it with her hands, she knew that there was a beautiful pattern there, which was exactly the same as the pattern she had found on Lou Jingmo's neck, so she didn't panic too much.

Time passed by, she was a little drowsy, but she didn't want to lie down, so she buried her head on her knees and gently closed her eyes.

"what--!!"

Not long after closing his eyes, a scream suddenly broke the silence.

Shen Maomao shivered, raised his head suddenly, and hit the back of his head against the wall, making him dizzy for a while.

It was a man who made the sound, a man in great fear or pain.

She couldn't make out any more information from the voice than that.

The screaming continued, worse than that of Huang Hongxing who was torn apart by mourners that day.Shen Maomao couldn't bear it, so he covered his ears and shivered in the corner of the wall, intending to cover his ears and steal the bell.

After a while, the scream faded away, turning into a "grunt" sound like the breathing of a large animal.

Maybe it was because of preconceived ideas, she always felt that there was a hint of satiety in this voice.

I don't know if the man who is suspected of being eaten is a player or an npc. He was dragged down to feed the beast because of some taboo.

The snoring stopped shortly after, and the whole world fell into silence again. After waiting for a long time, Shen Maomao could not hear anything other than the sound of the toilet flushing on the opposite side.

Someone lived across the way too, but she wasn't sure who.

In this situation, she didn't make a sound hastily, but quietly opened her eyes, staring at a point in the void.

After another period of time passed, Shen Maomao yawned big.She was only halfway through her yawn, when the light was suddenly bright on her closed eyelids, she immediately opened her eyes, and found that the lights in the corridor had been turned on by someone.

The small space was completely illuminated, and she could see clearly on the opposite side that it was a cage exactly like hers. There was a young man sitting on the bed of the cage, and he was also looking at her with wide eyes at this moment.

Besides the cage on the opposite side, the man next to him had the same iron railings on both sides, which made her roughly guess what kind of environment they were in now.

Endless corridors, countless railings, closed countless pairs of desperate eyes.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, accompanied by some people whispering, Shen Maomao listened for a long time with his ears upright, only heard some faint words like "No. [-]" and "Dead".

After saying a few words, these people closed their mouths, only the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, floating over like a reminder.

Four people in white coats and green masks walked through the center without turning their eyes, bringing a gust of wind full of the smell of disinfectant.

Shen Maomao's eyes followed them from right to left, until they disappeared from his sight, then lowered his eyes again.

There are doctors and nurses in white coats, but her place doesn't look like a ward.Then there is only another possibility—this may be some kind of laboratory, and those people are researchers in the laboratory.

Just don't know what they are studying.

The light was still on, and the footsteps got farther and farther away. The man on the opposite side stood up, walked to the railing step by step, and waved to her: "Hello?"

His voice was so small that Shen Maomao could hardly hear it clearly.

Shen Maomao's eyes turned around him, then shifted to the wall of his room, and found a red dot that was also flashing from directly above his bed.

She looked away, buried her head in her knees, and didn't intend to respond to him.

The man was not annoyed, and started to hook up with people on both sides of her next door, but he was still ignored.

After all, in such an environment, one has a brain problem to respond to a complete stranger.

The man struck up a conversation several times to no avail, and the light in the middle was also turned off at this time, so he could only shrink back silently, hiding himself in the darkness.

Shen Maomao didn't open his eyes again, he closed his eyes for a while, and then lost consciousness.

……

She was awakened by a sharp ringing of bells.

The ringtone was extremely ear-piercing, as if it was ringing in her ears, making her head buzz.

She covered her ears, moved her stiff neck, got up from the bed, and ran behind the railing to observe the situation.

Amid such piercing bells, the people in the other cages opened the door and walked out with a blank face, purposefully moving in one direction collectively, making no other sound except for the sound of footsteps.

It was only then that Shen Maomao discovered that all these people had three-digit numbers engraved on their backs, most of which were non-repeating numbers at the beginning.

Presumably there will be such a number on her back, right?

Shen Maomao hesitated, not knowing whether he should push the door out now, or observe the situation again.

"Crack——" with a sound, the man at the opposite door also pushed open the door and blended into the crowd. Shen Maomao could clearly see the number on his back, which was 290.

Inferred from the position, her number should not be too far from 290.

After watching for a long time, she saw a familiar face mixed in the crowd, walking forward unhurriedly, looking at the surrounding environment while walking.Among these identical numb expressions, the same stern face was extraordinarily lively, making Shen Maomao's eyes light up with a "swish".

There was no need to hesitate any longer, she opened the door directly, overcame obstacles all the way, and squeezed to the man's side, her restless heart fell back into her stomach.

As long as Sister Lou is here, it seems that no matter what difficulties she has, she no longer has to be afraid.

Lou Jingmo glanced at her back, didn't speak, and didn't show any other expressions; Shen Maomao deliberately lagged behind her, and saw the number behind Lou Jingmo - 287.

She kept these two numbers secretly in her heart, wondering if she could use them in the future.

The crowd moved forward for a long distance, passing by identical cages, and the narrow corridor seemed to have no end in sight. They had no purpose, they could only move forward, they could not turn back, and were led step by step into the abyss.

Shen Maomao's hand held Lou Jingmo's hand underneath.

Lou Jingmo withdrew his gaze from looking around, and raised his eyebrows at her, as if asking her what's the matter.

Shen Maomao shook his head lightly, and smiled flatteringly at her.

Lou Jingmo casually looked away again, and didn't take out the hand she was holding on purpose.

I don't know how long I walked, but finally my eyes suddenly opened up. Shen Maomao first closed his eyes to adapt to the light for a while, and then opened them.

What caught the eye was a very empty metallic-colored room.

For the small broken cage they lived in, the room was quite large and square, with two doors at the front and one at the back, and no windows.

There are surveillance cameras with red lights on both doors, and a combination lock fixed on the door that is in the activated state. The surrounding walls are like some kind of alloy. The overall color is silvery white, so clean that it can reflect the shadow.

There are some futuristic instruments in the room, and the dials of the instruments are flickering with lights that Shen Maomao can't understand.

A lot of people had gathered in this small room, and they were lining up to get something at a machine in front.

Shen Maomao and Lou Jingmo naturally stood at the end of the crowd, and then quietly observed these people.

Everyone received a sign, and after receiving the sign, they would leave this room through another door and go to an unknown place.
