Chapter 193: Bloodthirsty Rats and Wanderers

Qi Lin dragged the three bags of marijuana all the way to an uninhabited tunnel nearly two kilometers away from the residence, this was a dead end, although there were several rooms on both sides of the tunnel, but the owners of these rooms had either died or had moved from here, and it was now a dead silence, empty, and even the airtight doors were not tightly closed.

"It's a great place to dump corpses." Qi Lin muttered to himself under the breathing mask and pushed open the airtight door at the innermost.

"Squeak!"

Two red lights flashed in the darkness, and Qi Lin, who had dark vision, could see clearly, this was a bloodthirsty rat the size of a wild cat, and it was unknown from which pipe it came in.

With his right hand, he let go of the sack, quickly took out a small knife from his pocket and put it in front of him, and the bloodthirsty rat that pounced on Qi Lin's throat seemed to have deliberately hit the tip of the knife, and was immediately penetrated into the body by the knife.

"Squeak-squeak-" A terrible scream was heard immediately, and Qi Lin threw the bloodthirsty rat to the ground frantically, and then stomped its head with one kick.

……

The specifications of this room are almost exactly the same as Qi Lin's own residence, but the things are already a mess, except for a collapsed folding bed and a coffin-like dusty game pod, there is almost nothing in the room, and there are many empty synthetic food packaging bags discarded in the corner, judging from the proportion of the food types of the original owner of the room, this should be a low-level poor person who is struggling to survive on the subsistence allowance of the shelter.

The hatch of the game pod was open, and there was a relatively complete skeleton lying inside, judging from the several gnawing marks on the bones and the mouse droppings everywhere in the game pod, it was estimated that most of the flesh and blood on this corpse had gone into the stomach of the bloodthirsty mouse, no wonder the bloodthirsty mouse was several times fatter than its average kind.

Qi Lin suddenly regretted a little, if he hadn't killed the bloodthirsty rat just now, it was estimated that he could use it as a good helper to dispose of the corpse, otherwise, in the low-temperature environment of the shelter, it would take several months for the corpse to rot naturally.

Stacking three bags of marijuana in the corner, Qi Lin poured a bottle of water he carried with him on top of it - the humid environment could make the sacks full of fungus and moss, and it could also stop some passing wanderers from wanting to explore the three corpses.

There are not many such wanderers in the shelters, but they do exist, some of them are "ghosts" who have escaped from their homes after being eliminated from the game, and some are poor people who are lazy but want to have material comforts, living on the remnants of the materials found in the abandoned rooms, and occasionally committing petty theft or burglary.

After doing all this, Qi Lin walked out of this room, but just happened to bump into a sneaky figure walking out of the room opposite the door.

The man was wearing a large, tattered and dirty cotton jacket, an equally dirty satchel tied around his waist, mud-stained trousers were no longer distinguishable from their original color, and boots made of faux leather had a crack, and a completely deformed toe peeking out of it.

He still had an earthen respirator made of plastic funnel and rags on his face, his greasy hair was tangled together, and Qi Lin, who had excellent eyesight, could even see tiny beige parasites crawling in and out of the other's hair in the dark.

It's a loiterer!

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and the other party quickly discovered his existence, after the initial startle, the man immediately felt half a piece of rusty metal from his body, but the edges were polished to a very sharp surface, and it seemed that it was a lid pulled down from a can.

"Who are you?"

The man took the first step and blocked Qi Lin in this dead end, a hoarse and rough voice coming from under his breathing mask.

"Just passing by." Qi Lin replied with a calm face, he first had to figure out whether the other party was just searching for supplies here, or whether the dove was occupying the magpie's nest and using a certain uninhabited room as his foothold.

"This is my territory, take out your food and water—and my clothes and breathing mask—I can let you go—" the man said viciously, raising the metal in his hand demonstratively.

"It seems to be the latter possibility...... That's more troublesome......" Qi Lin secretly said in his heart, if the other party lives here for a long time, then it is very likely that he will become a red-shirt gang to find his own clues, and this person can't stay.

It's not that Qi Lin is too cruel, it's just that many times, if he is not cruel to others, he is cruel to himself - he doesn't mind being kind when he is safe, but he never minds taking some extreme choices when there is a threat.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, you're welcome! ”

The man noticed that Qi Lin had no weapon in his hand, and his tone became a little tougher, and he took a step closer towards Qi Lin.

"I'm sorry." As soon as Qi Lin's words fell, he suddenly rushed in front of him with an acceleration, first using his arm to open the opponent's right hand holding the metal piece, and then his right knee was raised high and slammed into the wanderer's chest!

After being hit so hard, the wanderer's chest suddenly sank, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken, but Qi Lin's offensive was not over, and after a throat lock that made it immobilized, he hit three quick knees in a row!

By the time Qi Lin let go of his hand, the man was no longer breathing, and black blood overflowed from his mouth and nose at the same time, slowly sliding down against the wall of the tunnel.

Dragging the loiterer's body into the room, Qi Lin threw him next to three bags of marijuana, and then searched all the rooms in the dead end.

With the exception of the room where the wanderer lived, there was no sign of anyone living in recent times, and even the wanderer's room was nothing more than a dirty bedding and some tattered cooking utensils.

When leaving the tunnel, Qi Lin looked up again, and at the top of the tunnel, there was a small camera, but the camera's working indicator was dim.

In the early years, in order to facilitate management, a camera would be installed in every few sections of the shelter tunnel, but later, due to the fact that the rebels often destroyed the cameras, which was troublesome to maintain, coupled with the shortage of power resources, these cameras were abandoned and deactivated by the shelter officials, so Qi Lin was not worried that his actions would be filmed by the cameras.

After going around the intricate tunnels a few times, and going to the trading market to buy some daily necessities, Qi Lin returned to his residence without hurrying.
