Chapter 5 - 3: The Collapsed Building
The abandoned building interior was dim, brightened only briefly by the light shining in as they passed windows.
The air was filled with a rotten, moldy smell.
In the deadly silent hallway, the faint dripping sound of water echoed, "drip, drip."
As soon as everyone entered, they inexplicably felt a chill, as if the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees, and it was eerily quiet except for the echoing footsteps.
"Crow’s information said that what we’re looking for is on the second basement level of this building, which used to be the parking garage. But because the building has been damaged, the only confirmed entrances and exits to the underground parking are two places: one is the safety stairs on the east side, and the other is the elevator shaft in Zone B1."
"For us, there’s actually only one entrance and exit, which is the safety stairs on the east side. The elevator shaft isn’t practical; we’re all ordinary people, and climbing the elevator shaft is too dangerous and slow. So, I hope everyone remembers the escape route clearly, because if an accident occurs and you get lost on the second basement level, it means you’re not far from death,"
"Crow’s new information says that danger will appear on the first basement level, but because we’re ordinary people, we can probably avoid the dangers on the first level. So the real lethal danger is on the second level, and the closer we get to a certain source, the greater the danger,"
Wei Li, a doctor, continued talking as he walked.
His tone was steady, his articulation clear, and his expression very serious.
"I say we just wander around the first basement level and then head back. Wouldn’t picking up fifty thousand yuan for nothing be sweet?" Zhang Kaiwen’s eyes shifted as he came up with a perfunctory plan.
Li Yi immediately said, "The other party has already anticipated this. That mysterious woman who activated the Spirit Medium is probably already watching us. If we brush this off, she’ll probably have us killed the moment we leave this building."
