Kingdom of Corrosion-Chapter 891 - 388: Galaxy Building (Part 1)_2

Lin Wu said, "It would be awkward if you happened to see your boss pinning the boss’s photo to the dartboard. There’s a human scent."

"What scent?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"The smell of poop." Lin Wu pointed in the direction of the rich tycoon.

The three split up and headed towards the rich tycoon’s entrance, where about 50% of the parking spots at the entrance were filled with cars. Lin Wu gestured with his hand to wait and raised his gun to observe the vehicles here. They also found three dead zombies tossed in the corner of the wall.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, a seven-seater commercial vehicle shook a couple of times. Lin Wu waved his hand, Lin Meng and Xiao Wu kept watch on the left and right, and Lin Wu stepped forward to open the driver’s side door, only to find three men and a woman in the back seat. Based on the colors of their dyed hair, their names were Xiao Lu, Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Huang, respectively. At this moment, they were sitting in their seats, seemingly chatting, and were stunned by the sudden appearance of Lin Wu.

Two big bags were placed in the aisle of the back seat, and the aisle was filled with cases of purified water and several boxes of instant noodles.

"Don’t move, keep your hands where I can see them," Lin Wu said. "I will ask a few questions and then leave."

The two of them nodded repeatedly.

Lin Wu asked, "How many of you are there?"

Xiao Huang: "Just the four of us." They belonged to a band called Qi Cai Band, and they performed at the rich tycoon’s place on the evening of the 1st, where they stayed overnight. The next day when the city’s crisis unfolded, they were in the upstairs supermarket preparing to purchase some daily necessities. After receiving phone calls from other members and seeing the videos they sent, they decisively bought a large amount of supplies. When they were checking out, they discovered that a riot had started, so they used shopping carts to help transport the goods to their boss’s car, this very car.

They had a basic understanding of the outside situation through the car’s radio. Just when Lin Wu appeared, they were discussing whether to go back to the second-floor supermarket for another sweep.

Lin Wu asked, "What is this place?"

Xiao Hong: "Parking lot?"

Lin Wu asked, "Where is the Galaxy Building located?"

Xiao Hong answered, "This is the Galaxy Building."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately patted his chest and bragged to Lin Meng: Impressive, right?

After Xiao Hong’s explanation, Lin Wu discovered that the Galaxy Building was not a single rectangular building. It was divided into two parts: the first part was from the 1st to the 5th floor, covering a very large ground area, and it was a comprehensive commercial plaza combining food, shopping, entertainment, and audio-visual experiences.

The second part was rectangular, from the 6th to the 51st floor, half of which was the Galaxy Hotel, though Xiao Hong wasn’t sure about the specific floors, probably around the 30th floor. Above the 30th floor were office spaces. Therefore, the parking lot was divided into three areas. The first was the large area for the commercial plaza, the second was the parking area specifically set up for the hotel, and the last was the parking area for the office spaces. Theoretically, these three areas were interconnected, but in reality, they were blocked by civil defense doors. The so-called civil defense doors, more officially known as double-leaf protective sealed doors.

The ability to open them depended on the door’s features. Civil defense door unlocking methods come in three types: local control, remote control, and smart control, typically the first type. The biggest problem was that civil defense doors could only be opened from the inside, not the outside.

Xiao Huang took out paper and pen and drew a map. They weren’t clear about the location of the civil defense doors, but they knew that without going through the civil defense doors, they could first leave the underground parking lot and then make their way to the underground parking area beneath the Galaxy Building’s offices.

After getting a basic understanding, Lin Wu nodded, "Thanks, now take off your clothes."

Ten minutes later, the three set off again in dry clothes. Their bodies were wet, and putting on dry clothes would get them wet too. Wasn’t there a fourth person? His clothes could be used as towels. However, due to the traits of Hardcore Mode, Lin Meng changed clothes and shoes behind a pillar, away from the other two.

They didn’t leave the wet clothes for Xiao Hong and the rest, instead rolling them up into a bundle that Xiao Wu carried on his back.

They advanced slowly, avoiding or clearing away hazards, and, guided by the signs above them, quickly found the entrance to the Galaxy Building’s offices. As expected, the civil defense door was tightly closed, and they were outside. Why didn’t Shana mention this in the broadcast? Lin Wu looked around for a while and pointed, "Stone Farmer."

On the wall beside the civil defense door, someone had written four characters with a hard object, without coloring them, barely noticeable unless looked at carefully, reflecting the writer’s perfunctory attitude. The parking lot had a height of about four meters, with foil-wrapped exhaust pipes at the top. Lin Meng asked, "Could it be inside?"

Lin Wu shook his head, "With such a halfhearted writing, how could he possibly dismantle the exhaust pipes. I think he just threw it on top of the exhaust pipes."

Lin Meng: "With Stone’s athletic ability, wouldn’t he have to break eight or ten walkie-talkies before he could throw them on top of the exhaust pipes?"

That made sense. What would be an easy-to-hide and not-so-obvious spot? Lin Wu said, "Car." There were four cars nearby.

Xiao Wu was somewhat doubtful: "What if someone drives the car away?"

Lin Wu said, "It definitely won’t start, maybe it’s out of gas, or maybe it’s Stone’s car. If I were him, I’d definitely hide it like that. A survivor coming here might break the windows to search for supplies, so the safest spot would be under the car and stuck to the bottom of the car."

"Really?" Xiao Wu placed the rolled-up clothes down and skeptically lay on the ground, shone his flashlight under a car’s chassis, and reached out to remove an item: "It’s actually true." It was a walkie-talkie and batteries.

Lin Wu said, "You just have to think like a lazy person to see the crux of the matter. After seeing the negligent writing, I saw through it all. Haha!"

With Lin Wu’s laughter, the lights suddenly went off. There was a power outage, and the scene plunged into complete darkness in an instant.
