Hanako, who seemed to have noticed the problem, looked at Natsume nervously.

Natsume knew he couldn't give up now, he had to find a way.

So he took off the tool box on his back and started looking for suitable tools, intending to dismantle the grille.

Just when he was about to start busy, there were sudden rustling sounds in the passage.

The sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear in this darkness.

Both Hanako and Natsume heard the sound.

Subconsciously, both of them stopped moving and held their breath.

After a while, the sound seemed to have gone away... Hanako asked Natsume with a pale face, "What is that?"

Natsume turned around and looked in the passage with the help of the light. After making sure there was nothing unusual, he said, "It should be a mouse..."

"Rat? Why are there rats in the shelter?"

"Normally, mice are much more capable of surviving than humans. The temperature here is obviously higher than other places. There is nothing to be afraid of if there are just a few of them." Natsume said, turning his head and continuing to work.

Hanako, who was opposite him, kept turning around nervously and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of! I'm most afraid of mice! You said... what if there are a lot of them and they carry viruses? This place is so small, they will definitely be invaded.

Bite!”

Natsume smiled and said, "I just guessed, but looking at the intactness of the corpses outside, there shouldn't be many rats here, and even if there are, ordinary rats don't dare to bite people at will, not to mention that we are all dressed like this

I’ve got some thick winter clothes, don’t worry.”

After hearing Natsume's words, Hanako calmed down a little, but for safety reasons she still tightened her collar and put on her hat.

Natsume has very strong hands-on skills. In addition, the structure of the grille is not very complicated and can be easily disassembled in many places, so Natsume quickly opened the grille.

Hanako was happy when she saw the exit was opened. She really wanted to kiss Natsume now because this man was so reliable.

However, it was estimated that her brother would cover her lips before they pouted, so Hanako gave up the idea.

Opening the grille, Natsume and Hanako discovered that the exit was blocked by a pile of storage boxes. They were piled together, as if they had been placed here intentionally.

Natsume and Hanako didn't think much. They worked together to open a box, then walked out of the passage and entered Area R.

As the core infrastructure management and control area of ​​the entire shelter and the area where senior personnel live, the environment in Area R is obviously better than all previous areas.

Moreover, the air temperature here is actually as high as 25 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable temperature range for human life.

But Natsume and Hanako were not happy at all when they went down to Area R...

Because as soon as they came down, they found a corpse lying not far away... and it was obviously decomposed, but surprisingly, there was no trace of blood or stench in the air.

The wound on the corpse was located on the chest. It was small when viewed from the side, but when viewed from the front.

Hanako couldn't hold it back and vomited on the spot!

Natsume is almost the same...

I saw that the entire chest of the corpse had been broken open, all the internal organs were missing, and there were obvious signs of gnawing on the ribs. It looked like it had been hollowed out by some ferocious beast!

After witnessing this tragic situation, Natsume hurriedly took out his pistol and pulled Hanako back after retching briefly.

"Come on, there must be monsters here! It's too dangerous!"

Hanako also took out her weapon. She was no longer the same Hanako who couldn't hold a gun safely in the base. Now, after half a month of training, she could skillfully use small weapons to defend herself.

But everything here is indeed too weird.

But when Hanako and Natsume retreated to the entrance of the previous passage, they saw a pale face with no facial features as soon as they looked up.

Its strikingly white skin was still stained with fresh blood.

He "stared" at Natsume and Hanako in the darkness.

That feeling was really strange... There was nothing on that face... but Hanako and Natsume could clearly feel it staring at them.

Hanako was so frightened that she never thought she would see a monster that only appeared in horror movies in reality.

Natsume's psychological quality is also much higher.

He pushed Hanazi away without waiting for the monster to pounce, and then pulled the trigger continuously.

Five shots were fired in succession, all hitting the monster's face and body.

When the monster was shot for the first time, it let out a frightening scream, not only opened its bloody mouth full of tiny fangs, but also stretched out a black tongue covered with tiny tentacles in an attempt to fight back.

Fortunately, Hanako also reacted and hit the tongue with a casual shot, thus saving Natsume's life.

The injured monster did not fight back, it wailed and fled deep into the passage.

But this basically means cutting off Natsume and Hanako's escape route.

After driving away the monster, Natsume fell to the ground and gasped for air while avoiding the tongue. He was still stained with the blood of the monster.

Hanako was almost the same, both of them were stupid.

What on earth is that?

When the two were confused, a voice suddenly appeared and brought them back to reality.

"You guys? Why are you here?!"

Natsume and Hanako followed the sound at the same time, and both of them were stunned.

Liang Qiuru, who was loaded with ammunition, still had a bandage on her arm. She held the gun and looked at the familiar face in front of her with surprise on her face.

After Huazi was stunned for a few seconds, she immediately ran over crying and threw herself into Liang Qiuru's arms.

"Mother!!!!"

Liang Qiuru, who had never expected to see her daughter here again, also shed tears. She hugged Hanako with her backhand, comforted and asked with concern, "Aren't you over there in Xion'an? Why are you here in New Tokyo City?"

Hanako was crying and trembling, but she couldn't speak clearly despite what she wanted to say.

Natsume was also excited to see Liang Qiuru, but after all, he couldn't throw himself into Ms. Liangqiu's arms like Hanako did, so he calmed down his emotions and walked over and said, "We followed Colonel Fang Xiaodong to search for survivors. Now we are on top."

There are also nearly 10,000 rescue team members."

Liang Qiuru was shocked when she heard this: "Ah? Is it true? The disaster is over? The sun has come out?"

Hearing this, Natsume smiled bitterly and said, "No, auntie, it's still dark. We volunteered to come here to search for survivors."

When Liang Qiuru heard that the disaster was not over yet, the fire of hope in her eyes flickered for a moment and then went out again.

"Hey...I thought everything was over...but I didn't expect this nightmare to last..."

Natsume also felt sad for a while. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Auntie, what happened here? Just... that monster just now?"

"Shh, come with me. I'll take you to the camp. Don't disturb them anymore." Liang Qiuru made a silent gesture, then took Hua Zi and went to the right.

Natsume hurriedly followed and asked quietly, "Auntie, have you heard Colonel Fang Xiaodong's voice a long time ago?"

"Um."

"Then why did you..."

"Shh." Liang Qiuru suddenly covered Natsume's mouth, then hugged Hanako and the three of them hid in a dark corner.

Shortly afterwards, two faceless monsters that were almost identical to before crawled over the top of the corridor like geckos! They were extremely fast! Running on the top of the corridor was like walking on flat ground!

Both Hanako and Natsume's eyes widened, and now they were sure that what they just saw was not an illusion.

It wasn't until the monsters were gone that Liang Qiuru let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, these things are very annoying. Although our guns can hurt them, being bitten by them is also very troublesome."

Ms. Liangqiu's tone was not very nervous.

This only made Natsume and Hanako more curious.

Hanako, who had calmed down, asked her mother in a low voice, "Mom, what on earth...are they?"

Liang Qiuru shook her head, "I don't know..."

"ah?"

Liang Qiuru smiled, "I really don't know. We dug them out accidentally in search of geothermal resources. Now that I think about it, it really feels like we have opened the door to Tutankhamen."

"What are you trying to do?" Hanako didn't understand.

Natsume explained, "Tutankhamun, the Pharaoh of Egypt, it is said that the people who opened his tomb were cursed and died mysteriously one after another."

Hanako's eyes widened after hearing this, "Hey!!!!!!!"
