Chapter 1462 1 family of 3
"What's going on?" Chen Mu turned around and brought Xiao Ye closer.
"Look, over there, that icon!" Hong Wenli pointed to the left and shouted.
Chen Mu looked closely and finally spotted a tiny point of light in the moss on the wall.
Unlike Lin Shanshan's case, the recipient icon in the mountain village last time was exceptionally large and remained stationary.
But this time, the icon is very small; if you don't look closely, it's probably blending in with the moss.
Logically, the size of the icon suggests its distance from the recipient.
Such a small icon probably means the distance between the recipient and the recipient is no less than 20 kilometers.
That's nothing to worry about; even if the journey is a bit arduous, Hong Wenli won't be too alarmed.
What really worried Hong Wenli was that the recipient's icon was moving very slowly!
Although the icon is moving very slowly, this is the effect of a distance of tens of kilometers. The recipient on the other side is probably moving at lightning speed.
What's the recipient up to? Why are they running so fast?
Is it still possible to catch up in time?
Hong Wenli couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder; at a time like this, this was the only way to comfort him.
"Boss, there's a stench of corpses over here."
Xiaoye's voice came from the corner of the wall next to her.
Following the direction Xiaoye pointed, there was a closed iron gate.
The layout of this bungalow should be an outdoor living room and an indoor bedroom, a one-bedroom, one-living room layout.
The stench of decay was coming from the bedroom of the house.
Chen Mu wasn't too surprised; the place had been abandoned for some time. The owners had either fled or died.
However, judging from the closed doors and windows, the possibility of escape is relatively small.
That means he has most likely passed away.
Chen Mu gave Xiao Ye a look, and Xiao Ye understood immediately. She went to the iron door of the bedroom and kicked it!
Chen Mu was eager to know what kind of apocalypse this was.
Only by understanding the general environment can one make accurate judgments.
He kicked the iron gate, and the gate immediately made a loud "bang!" sound.
Along with the loud bang, a series of chilling roars could be heard coming from a distant direction outside the house.
However, Chen Mu and Xiao Ye were already immune to this kind of roar.
Compared to the roars of the monsters deep within the black hole, this sound was almost "gentle".
Xiaoye kicked the door twice and finally managed to kick it open.
As the iron gate was kicked open, the air that had been trapped in the bedroom suddenly flowed into the living room.
A strong stench of decay instantly filled the nostrils of the three people.
Hong Wenli couldn't hold it in any longer and started retching while leaning against the wall.
He was vomiting while being careful not to splash any onto the envelope.
Chen Mu and Xiao Ye frowned and went into the bedroom.
As soon as Chen Mu entered the bedroom, he immediately saw two rotting corpses hanging from the beam above the bed.
The process of decomposition was horrific; the corpse was covered with countless holes, and small flying insects were already laying eggs inside.
The strong stench of death was coming from the corpse.
Judging from the clothing of the corpses, they were two women, one older and one younger, seemingly a mother with her daughter.
On the bedroom floor, there were even more empty bottles and jars scattered about.
Bottled water, canned goods, dry bread bags... scattered everywhere.
Near the window, a small pot was set up. It was clear that the mother and daughter used to cook here.
Beneath the two corpses, only a mattress remained on the bed.
The bed frame and four corners were probably chopped up and used as fuel for cooking.
Looking at the two rotting corpses, Xiaoye couldn't help but say, "It's so gruesome, what happened in this room?"
Chen Mu has pieced together the general events from various details: "They were probably trapped in the room, ate and drank everything they could, and finally hanged themselves in despair."
"Even in such a desperate situation, they're unwilling to leave the room. It seems there's something even more terrifying outside this house," Xiaoye said.
Xiaoye noticed that the room's windows were also boarded up, and that they were sealed from the inside.
This means that the mother and daughter most likely did not want to leave the room and were not forcibly locked in the bedroom.
Chen Mu went to the window and touched the wooden planks sealing it. "Look, not a single plank is missing. The bed planks and the other wooden planks in the room are gone."
However, not a single thick wooden board sealing the windows was removed.
This suggests that what was outside was even more terrifying than starvation. The two women would rather have no energy to cook than touch the wooden planks.
I already have some guesses about this bizarre apocalypse.
Xiaoye nodded in agreement, "Boss, I have some ideas too. Do you think it could be like in the movies, a zombie apocalypse?"
"Smart!" Chen Mu glanced at Xiao Ye and teased, "Looks like you didn't waste that time you spent holed up in the villa. After watching so many movies and reading so many novels, you can already guess the gist of it."
I also think it's some kind of zombie apocalypse. These two are hiding in the room, afraid to go out, but it doesn't seem like they're hiding from anything eerie.
"Boss, do you think this apocalypse is real? I mean, is some new world going to be a world like this?"
Xiaoye's question stumped Chen Mu.
Chen Mu smiled helplessly and shrugged. "I can't answer your question either. This newspaper office has a strange atmosphere; it's definitely a bit eerie."
It has the ability to connect different worlds.
So, was this delivery scene created by the newspaper boss himself, or did it transport us to a 'new world,' or some other bizarre scene?
To be honest, I really can't be sure.
As the two were talking, Xiaoye arrived outside the bathroom in the bedroom.
The bedroom in this bungalow also has a separate bathroom.
However, the bathroom door was closed, and I couldn't smell the stench of a corpse through the crack in the door.
Just as Xiaoye was about to open the door, Chen Mu said, "Be careful when you open the door, something's not right in the bathroom."
"Boss, what did you figure out?"
Xiaoye was a little puzzled, since there was no smell of corpses in the bathroom, so it shouldn't be dangerous.
Chen Mu pointed to the bottles scattered on the ground. Some of the bottles were filled with pale yellow urine.
In another corner of the bedroom, there was a pile of dried, cracked feces.
"The fact that these two preferred to relieve themselves in the bedroom rather than go to the bathroom suggests that there is likely something in the bathroom that they would rather not see."
After Chen Mu finished speaking, Xiao Ye's face immediately showed an expression of amazement.
As expected of the boss, he can deduce the situation in the bathroom from the slightest clues.
Xiaoye admitted that she was still no match for the boss.
I only noticed that there was no smell in the bathroom, so I felt safe and didn't pay attention to the details in the bedroom.
