Chapter 470: Exploration Mission
Yuan Bin and the others had already entered the nursing home and explored it three times. They were familiar with the route and quickly led Fang Heng and the others around the back garden. They entered the interior of the building through a small door on the side of the back garden.
Click...
Yuan Bin carefully closed the wooden door.
He pointed forward, and the group continued forward along the pathway.
The gloomy weather in the north affected their vision.
Even in broad daylight, the interior of the room was still abnormally dark.
Fang Heng used the night vision ability of the Vampire Bloodline to survey the surrounding environment.
It was very chaotic.
On the wall, he could see dried and dark blood stains.
He could not be sure whether those blood stains were produced after the outbreak of the zombie crisis.
Following Yuan Bin, the group tiptoed and made several turns to arrive at the iron door at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the basement.
Yuan Bin tried to push the door open, frowning.
“What’s wrong? ”
Yuan Bin whispered, “It’s strange. The door’s locked. It wasn’t locked the last time we came. ”
Vera turned to look at Fang Heng. “Can the keys given to us by the camp’s merchant open the door? ”
“Let me try. ” Fang Heng took out a bunch of keys from his backpack. Comparing the key shapes, he chose one of the keys and stuffed it into the keyhole.
Click...
The iron door opened.
Behind the door was a storage room.
The room was abnormally messy. Wooden boxes of all sizes were randomly stacked on the floor.
“Someone must have been here. The last time we left, we didn’t even have time to close the passage. ” As Yuan Bin spoke, he walked forward and set aside the boxes stacked together on the floor, then lifted the carpet underneath.
There was an iron ring on the floor below the carpet that could be pulled up.
Yuan Bin walked to the edge of the iron ring and pulled up the attached iron chain with great effort.
Ka... Da, da, da...
The iron chain was pulled up slowly.
A passage leading underground was revealed.
Yuan Bin and the others took out flashlights from their backpacks.
Yi Qi walked to the front of the group and said, “I’ll lead the way. Everyone, be careful. Our goal this time is to search for information and try to avoid unnecessary battles. If we encounter any danger that we can’t resist, we’ll just run away. ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
Fang Heng looked around along the way.
He felt that Yi Qi’s group’s description of the monster was not very accurate.
The other party must be a creature that had the ability to think.
It was very likely to be a person.
They walked down the stairs and went through a passage, and a fork leading to three different paths appeared in front of them.
Vera stood at the intersection and closed her eyes to sense for a moment.
“I don’t sense any powerful enemies nearby, ” she said in a low voice. “On the path we previously took the road, we encountered danger halfway. This time, let’s try that path. ”
“Okay, let’s go. ” The group continued to explore the left passage.
Soon, Fang Heng found the door to a room at the side of the pathway.
Yuan Bin pushed the door first.
Thud...
The door was locked.
“It was the same when we came here before. Most of the doors here are locked. Don’t force the door open. The sound will attract the monsters. ”
Fang Heng tried to take out the keys given by the apocalypse merchant and compared their shapes again. However, the shapes were a total mismatch for the keyhole.
“The basement is Meteorite Company’s secret research room. Your keys most likely won’t work. Don’t waste time. ”
“Don’t worry. I still have a way, ” Fang Heng said as he took out a piece of iron wire from his backpack.
Yi Qi and the others stopped and looked at Fang Heng curiously.
Fang Heng twisted the wire into a special ring, stuffed the wire into the door, and fiddled with it a few times.
Ka...
With a soft sound, Fang Heng gently twisted the door handle.
The iron door opened.
“Hint: authentication successful. You have unlocked the door through your skill Lock Disablement. Your Lock Disablement skill’s experience points have reached the maximum. ”
“Amazing! That skill of yours is amazing! ” Yuan Bin was pleasantly surprised when he saw Fang Heng easily open the door. He lowered his voice and praised Fang Heng, giving him a thumbs up.
“It’s just so-so. Basic operation. ” As Fang Heng spoke, he poked his head into the room to take a look.
Behind the iron door was a relatively large dormitory room.
The dormitory was very large. With a cursory glance, he could see six beds and a separate bathroom.
It seemed that no one had been there for a long time, as the room was covered in a thick layer of dust.
The few of them followed Fang Heng into the room. They closed the iron door and searched the room separately.
“I found something. Come and take a look. ” Vera had found a diary under a shabby bed.
Fang Heng followed and went over to take a look.
The handwriting on the diary was crooked, like the handwriting of a primary school student.
“Hint: you have obtained Frege’s diary (incomplete) . ”
Entry 2.1 read: “I don’t like to write diary entries, but my mother forced me to write. So annoying. ”
Entry 2.4 read: “I hate him very much, but my mother always forces me to call him dad. ”
Entry 2.9 read: “Very good. He will never come back to bother me again. ”
Entry 3.4 read: “Daddy came back. He seems to have changed his bad habit. He no longer scolds me. But I still have to keep a diary, so annoying. ”
Entry 3.8 read: “The mister who sent me told me not to be sad. He told me that there are many children like me here and that I will soon find new friends. But I do not feel happy. I hate the way that mister looks at me. Mommy hates him too. Daddy hates him too. It was because of him that we had to move out of the house. ”
Entry 5.2 read: “I met a lot of new friends. It’s just that I have to face needles every day. I hate needles. Mommy told me that I should cooperate with the mister’s treatment. ”
Entry 5.6 read: “Rui Qi was so amazing. She knows many amazing magic tricks. So interesting! ”
“Hint: player team has triggered the special ring mission ‘Mysterious Nursing Home. ‘ ”
Mission name: Mysterious Nursing Home.
Mission difficulty: A.
Mission description: you have discovered a secret area below the nursing home. During the search, you found a strange diary. You are aware that there may be some secrets in this nursing home. Please try to find more clues.
Mission description: leave the nursing home and the current mission ring mission will default to failure. Final reward calculation will commence thereafter.
Mission reward: survival points.
Unfortunately, it was not a main storyline.
Fang Heng was a little disappointed.
After reading the diary and combining it with the game mission hint, Yi Qi and the others were even more confused.
The diary gave them a very strange feeling.
“Didn’t the boss of the apocalypse camp mention before that this place used to be an orphanage... ” Zhong Lei guessed, “The diary mentioned needles. Could it be that Meteorite Company is relying on orphans to carry out research on viruses? ”
“An orphanage... ” Fang Heng touched his chin and pondered.
“Don’t bother about it. If I have to say, this mission is a trap. ” Yuan Bin pursed his lips. “Don’t forget that we’re here to get money... ”
“Shh! ” Vera’s expression changed slightly.
She seemed to have sensed something and stopped Yuan Bin from continuing. “Enemies are approaching. ”
