72 Black Dentist (Part 3)

◎It's raining teeth here◎

Zhu Ning's protective suit this time is different from the previous ones. It is also pure black, but there are some slender metal lines on it, which is very similar to the work clothes of a demon hunter.

The sensitivity and hardness have been improved, making it less likely to break.

Prometheus gave her an equipment upgrade?

She rode a motorcycle to the slums. The smart car navigation system was connected to her secondary brain, and it only took seventeen minutes to reach her destination.

This place is only four kilometers away from the hive. Although Zhu Ning lives nearby, it seems that he has never explored the slums in District 103. The world of the slums should be an ecosystem of its own.

This community is called "Yixue". The overall building is ten times larger than a beehive, but there are not many people inside. There are only a few lights on here and there in the community.

The flames from the incinerator in the distance could not reach here at all. Yixue seemed like a forgotten place of death.

There was a gloomy and decadent smell inside.

The gate of the community was ajar, the security booth was empty, and there was a thick layer of dust inside. This community must have been abandoned.

Zhu Ning stopped the car. She had just sent a message to Liu Niannian, asking her to arrive at Yixue's dental clinic in an hour, but Liu Niannian did not reply.

Zhu Ning thought it was normal. They hadn't been in touch for a long time, and the eldest lady's daily life must be much busier than she imagined.

If Liu Nianni couldn't come today, Zhu Ning could only gather a team on the tomb-posting forum, just like Shanmao would call a professional team of cleaners to clean up every time he entered a polluted area.

The speed at which Zhu Ning's team expanded could not keep up with the speed at which people were entering the contaminated area to commit suicide. Lin Xiaofeng was obviously too young to be able to go on missions, and there were almost no useful people in her team.

Once entering the contaminated area, one will lose contact with the outside world. In the past, Zhu Ning only estimated the approximate time, but this time she has her own artificial intelligence butler.

The motorcycle was parked outside the door. She set a few instructions and gave the onboard system maximum freedom. The luxury car is an artificial intelligence and can analyze the pros and cons based on the existing situation.

After finishing everything, Zhu Ning walked into Yixue.

[Pollution concentration detected is 85]

After walking about a hundred meters, the pollution concentration was automatically reported inside the helmet.

Zhu Ning frowned. There were no gray lines in front of him. He hadn't entered the polluted area yet. Did the pollution concentration here reach the standard of a Class D pollution area?

Zhu Ning has completed the witcher course this time and has actually gone on a mission with a witcher. Not only can she read the data on her own, she can also understand what each broadcast inside the helmet means.

There must be a core pollution source to form a polluted area. If it is just pollution, it can only be called a polluted area at most.

So this community is completely polluted, and there is a pollution source inside. The pollution concentration is 85% just by stepping into the community gate.

But what surprised Zhu Ning was that Yixue was not blocked and there was not even a warning sign.

Humans can come and go here freely, and some people even live here. How come no one has taken care of them for all these years?

There is a rule in the employee code of conduct that if you see a polluted area outside, you must report it to the technical department in a timely manner.

Zhu Ning thought about it, opened the internal website of the technical department, and entered the address. Yixue had already been registered, but the priority was constantly being pushed back.

[No. 1,700, expected waiting time: three years.]

Zhu Ning: “…”

Because it is not in the downtown area and the people living there are all defective, there is no priority and you can only wait in line. It shows that this place has been registered for five years.

The queues are endless, and anything more urgent can get in the way.

From a profit-oriented perspective, Zhu Ning could understand the cleaning center's approach. There was no benefit in purifying the area; defective products were doomed to die anyway. Even if the contaminated area continued to expand, only the Beehive and other slums would be contaminated.

But she herself felt quite uncomfortable, probably because she was a defective product.

The buildings in the ant school are a bit more complicated. The hive actually only has three buildings. Each building is very large, with thirty-six floors, and there are sixty-nine households on each floor. Zhu Ning always thought about how to escape in case of a fire.

But the layout of Yixue is very strange. Each building is long and thin. The tallest building has fifty floors, but there is only one family on each floor. There is a long aerial passage between the buildings, connecting all the buildings like a bridge.

From a distance, the buildings resemble a vertical chessboard, the skywalks are the lines, and the rooms are the intersections of the lines.

Every resident living in it is like a chess piece falling on a spot.

In the end they formed a 3D chessboard.

Theoretically, as long as you enter any room, you can crawl from one end to the other, as long as all the internal passages are open, they are all connected.

This building is so strange.

Zhu Ning had never seen this kind of design before. It seemed that when it was built, no consideration was given to whether humans would be comfortable living in it. Each small room looked like a small prison.

If you get lost after entering, you may never get out.

This dental clinic is located in a residential building. Zhu Ning had seen similar ones before. She had met a team member at the training base before, whose family owned a dental clinic of this kind in a small city.

The income is said to be very considerable, because there is a saying that to see whether a person is rich or not, just look at his teeth.

Teeth are often equated with money.

Many dentists choose to open their own clinics, some in residential buildings, and some on the first floor of office buildings.

In the wasteland era, this kind of dentistry must be very old.

The tomb post shows that the address of the dental clinic is Building 35, Floor 35, which is converted into coordinates (35, 35)

The closest building to Zhu Ning was Building 23, but she didn't understand the order in which the buildings were arranged and felt a little dizzy.

Zhu Ning is not directionally challenged, in fact, she has a very good memory, so there is no problem in this regard. But she felt a little dizzy after coming in, and she couldn't find her way after walking for ten minutes.

It's so weird.

I felt very strange from the moment I walked in. It was like a game of Qimen Dunjia. Does this place prevent outsiders from coming in, and also prevent people inside from leaving?

29, 30, 31...

Zhu Ning roughly sketched out the map in her mind as she walked. The building numbers were gradually increasing, so she was definitely going in the right direction.

33, 34, 36...

Wait, Zhu Ning, stop, where is number 35?

She tried to walk backwards again. If you get lost in the forest, you will lose your way because every tree looks the same.

At this time, don't turn around or change direction casually. You must find out where your "front" is.

Zhu Ning never turned around after she came in. She only focused on the road ahead, so she didn't look back even after she felt she had walked past it. Instead, she kept the same posture and retreated.

Only a few lights were still on in the community, and there was a faint light at the entrance of the corridor.

She stepped back about ten meters and saw Building 34.

What's going on?

Building 35 doesn't exist?

There are only 34 and 36, where is the building in the middle?

Zhu Ning tried this twice more, and the third time she was sure that Building 35 did not exist.

There are two possibilities. First, this thing has disappeared or is hidden.

The second type is that one of the buildings 34 or 36 is actually Building 35, but it is not marked, just like some floors do not have a 13th floor, and the 14th floor is actually the 13th floor.

The problem before her was to find the entrance to the contaminated area.

After the contaminated area was opened, it was sometimes difficult to find a way in. At that time, she and Li Nianchuan encountered a fishman. Li Nianchuan said that it was not easy to find the passage to the contaminated area, and they were trapped inside.

The higher the pollution concentration in an area, the harder it is to find the way in.

On previous occasions, the fish-man had strayed into the hot pot restaurant by mistake. Song Zhizhang had shown the way to the restaurant, and Subject 777 was located in a residential area, which she had unlocked with a master key. When Zhu Ning arrived at the aquarium, someone had already opened the contaminated area; she hadn't been involved in that process at all.

This time she needs to find it herself.

Zhu Ning pondered for a moment and chose to go to the 34th floor, because all floors are connected, no matter which possibility you have to go in yourself to find it.

With a sound of yelping——

She pushed open the old door. The structure inside was a standard square, the space was narrow and a bit crowded, with one family per floor, a square elevator shaft, and a square emergency passage.

The first house I saw after entering was 34-1-01. I didn't know if there was anyone inside. The strange thing was that the elevator in this building was running. When I pressed the button, the elevator doors opened to both sides.

A space was revealed inside, a 2X2X2 cubic elevator room, not even a centimeter larger.

When objects are too precisely shaped, it actually makes humans feel scared, because you can't find two identical leaves in nature, and everything is irregular.

Humans have invented various scales, established various rules, and created various objects that conform to the rules.

The elevator is so precise, not even a centimeter off. Faced with such a neatly designed elevator, I didn't want to step inside. It looked like a data block from a game built by an alien civilization.

The feeling of alienation and objectification reached its peak.

With a ding, the elevator door closed.

Zhu Ning didn't take the elevator and chose to walk up the stairs. She didn't want to be trapped in the narrow elevator at all.

The skywalk between buildings only appeared from the second floor. Zhu Ning walked to the second floor very smoothly. In fact, she didn't know whether it could be considered smooth or not. The Roman numeral two was written on the wall of the corridor.

From the moment she entered this area, she understood that the marked numbers are not necessarily real, and your feelings are not necessarily true.

The closer you are to the polluted area, the stronger this feeling will be. Now the pollution concentration displayed on the helmet has reached 96.

The second floor has a little more structure than the first floor. The residents on the second floor are assigned address 34-2-01, and there is also an elevator and a fire escape.

But after coming out of the stairs, two doors appeared on the left and right.

Both doors opened to a long, dark corridor that extended in two directions. There were no voice-controlled lights in the corridor. The two narrow corridors were like the throats of monsters, with no end in sight.

Zhu Ning thought about it and did not stay on the second floor. She planned to move on.

If this strange anthill really has a chessboard structure, she cannot find Building 35, but she can find the 35th floor. As long as she is on the 35th floor, she will definitely find the dentist's clinic.

It's like looking for a coordinate, you have to find one of the horizontal and vertical coordinates.

Climbing 35 floors on foot was not painful for her and it took her about fifteen minutes to reach the destination.

33, 34, 35...

This time it’s the 35th floor.

It seems that only Building 35 disappeared, but the 35th floor did not disappear.

There are also two doors around the 35th floor, and two doors and two corridors with two possibilities. She might walk to Building 33 or Building 35.

She needed to make a choice. If she took the wrong path, it would be difficult to correct it. She would walk further and further away and might even get lost in the anthills.

observe.

The two corridors look exactly the same to the naked eye, and the pollution concentrations displayed by the helmets are exactly the same. There is no difference from the outside.

The sound is a little different. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of wind on the left but not on the right.

She found the difference between the two sides, but it was not enough to support her judgment. Who knows whether the area with wind is the polluted area or the area without wind.

Zhu Ning's hands covered the wall. Her metal manipulation could "diagnose" the metal and instantly connect the metal structure. Yixue also used contaminated metal similar to the honeycomb.

She could use this talent here, but the problem was that the metal structures on both sides looked exactly the same, so her talent was useless.

Three minutes passed.

Nothing happened, and no one must live on this floor because she couldn't hear any sound.

Since there is no movement here, Zhu Ning can only make some noise himself.

Zhu Ning took out his gun and fired a shot towards the left side where the wind sounded.

With a bang!

The bullet flew through the dark corridor, but there was no sound of hitting anything. Is this corridor so long?

etc.

Zhu Ning was about to move when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The abnormality is not very obvious, very subtle, but if it were you, you would react immediately.

Something touched the toe of her boot.

People are sometimes very strange. Even though they are wearing shoes, if something from the outside touches them or they accidentally step on something, they can feel something unusual.

In particular, the nerve conduction function of work clothes amplifies this strange feeling.

Zhu Ning lowered her head, and something was touching her again and again.

It's blood.

A pool of blood surged from the depths, and the sticky blood flowed slowly.

Because the night vision function was on, the blood turned green under the green filter. She seemed to be able to see tiny tentacles extending from the pool of blood, struggling and crawling towards her feet.

Mental pollution.

Mental pollution has already begun before you even enter the polluted area.

Zhu Ning took a deep breath and tried to move her foot, leaving a clear bloody footprint on the ground.

This should be a contaminated area.

Zhu Ning walked into the corridor, which must be close to the dentist's clinic. She had an illusion that she seemed to have walked into someone's mouth.

She had just fired a bullet and blew a man's mouth open.

Now this person's mouth is bleeding.

Zhu Ning had just taken a step when suddenly, she heard a ding-dong sound.

Something fell to the ground and bounced twice in the empty corridor, much like the sound of marbles falling upstairs.

Then, crackling sound——

More and more things poured down, like a hailstorm. The falling objects hit people like stones, and their helmets made a banging sound.

Zhu Ning's vision blurred for a moment. Wearing full-body protective gear, the impact didn't hurt, and it quickly bounced off his shoulder. But the strange feeling was intense, and every cell in his body was clamoring to escape.

She reached out and caught a handful of something.

Is that...teeth?

In the palm of her hand lay a handful of yellowed teeth. Some of these teeth were broken, with only half of the root left, and some had black and yellow stains on the surface, as if they were bad teeth.

Now they lie in Zhu Ning's palm.

There was a rain of teeth here, and Zhu Ning was standing under this rain of teeth.

The author has something to say:

Girl, do you want to get caught in the rain? The non-mainstream kind?
