◎There's probably another zombie◎
Walking into the living room, you can almost see the entire layout of the house.
One of the bedroom doors next to it was yellow, and on the balcony were women's and men's clothes, as well as children's school uniforms, drying.
When he was downstairs, Shangguan Yu had already listed this house as a key search target.
The yellow door looks like a child's bedroom, with some cartoon patterns on it.
Lingxi stood in the living room in a daze without saying a word. She was always chattering, but now she was suddenly quiet. There must be something wrong.
Long Qingyu, who was standing beside her, glanced down at her and found that Lingxi was looking at the small shoes drying on the balcony.
"I'll open the door. You guys pay attention to what's happening behind you." Long Qingyu walked forward, holding the door handle with one hand, and subconsciously tightened the axe in the other hand.
He knew what Lingxi was thinking.
If you open the door and see a zombie transformed into a child, will you still kill it in the same brutal way?
Whenever encountering such a situation, Long Qingyu would take matters into his own hands. He believed that he could handle everything.
"Click..." Although I was very careful, the door lock still made a very slight sound when I opened it.
If the house hadn't been so quiet, the noise would have been ignored, but now it seemed to be amplified countless times and played back clearly in everyone's ears.
Leaving a gap of two fingers wide, Long Qingyu knocked on the door again to test the situation inside.
If there were any zombies, they would pounce on us immediately.
There was no roar of zombies or any strange noises in the room. Long Qingyu took a deep breath and pushed the door open as wide as possible.
This was indeed a child's room, very clean, as if no one had opened it before the apocalypse. Everything was neatly arranged, and the chaos and danger outside seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
A family of three, with a yellow door. The metal box that the game asks them to find is probably here.
Ling Xi followed Long Qingyu in and pulled Rong Xiao to her side, gesturing, "Look for metal boxes. Just... collect all the boxes you see and show them to us. Remember that?"
"Understood." After receiving the order, Rong Xiao started searching the room more actively than them, just like receiving a new task in a game.
Shangguan Yu was still in the living room and didn't rush into the bedroom. He returned to the entrance, his eyes like a machine scanning details, and once again observed the area from the entrance to the living room.
Something is wrong.
There was only a pair of slippers, a pair of men's leather shoes and high heels at the entrance, and the rest of the shoes for going out were placed on the shoe rack next to it.
If the man and woman encountered the end of the world before they could return home, the slippers would most likely be left at the entrance.
But there was only one pair of slippers for the child outside. Where were the other two pairs of slippers?
The slippers in the shoe cabinet were stored in a bag, and it was obvious that they were not worn often by the owner.
Shangguan Yu suddenly thought of something and quickly rushed into the bedroom next door. Rong Xiao was squatting at the door of the closet, reaching out to open it.
"Don't open—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xiao had already opened the wardrobe door.
A woman was curled up inside the door, with blood on her arms. Her eyes were originally closed, but when the light shone into the room, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her blood-red eyes looked at the living person in front of her fiercely and hungrily.
A terrifying roar rolled in her throat, and she pounced forward like a hungry beast trapped in a cage, howling.
Shangguan Yu has never cared about the life or death of strangers. For him, he has too many things to take care of and does not want to distract himself with someone he has known for less than a day.
But Rong Xiao's thin little body looked really pitiful, especially when he saw the horrible and bloody zombies inside, there was no fear or panic in his eyes.
He even thought that if he ran over now, he might be able to help her?
Maybe… maybe not… huh?
The zombie rushed out with a groan, but didn't even bite Rong Xiao's hair. She pushed it back and closed the door. Long Qingyu, who was standing next to her, reacted quickly and picked up the remote control from the bedside table to grab the handle of the wardrobe door.
The wardrobe door banged loudly, but it soon became quiet, as if nothing had happened in the room.
When the sweat slid into her eyes, Ling Xi realized that her head was covered in cold sweat.
She wiped off the sweat and pulled Rong Xiao up to check: "Are you okay? Were you caught, bitten, or scared?"
"I saw clearly that she wasn't bitten," Shangguan Yu found Lingxi's overreaction amusing. "Of course, she wasn't caught either."
"Then... were you sprayed by the zombies' saliva?" Ling Xi was still worried and asked another question.
Rong Xiao actually shook his head in cooperation.
"Alright, hurry up and find something. Everyone stay away from the closet. If something goes wrong, evacuate."
There seemed to be a lot of things in the children's room, but they were all toys and the like, and there didn't seem to be any metal boxes at all.
They searched the room upside down and found only a few cardboard boxes with toys inside. Long Qingyu even took apart the toys and found nothing.
"Is this bracelet a scam?" Ling Xi was tired of searching, so she sat down on the ground and poked the ordinary black bracelet with her fingers.
"I've found something." Shangguan Yu raised a finger with a bunch of keys hanging on it.
"What's so special about this key?" The others didn't understand.
"The two rooms next door are locked," Shangguan Yu said, holding one of the keys. "This is the key to this room. The other two should be the keys to the other two doors."
Rong Xiao was listening to Shangguan's words very seriously, as if he was listening to an NPC explaining a task.
There are a total of 4 keys, three for opening the doors, and one more.
"What about the remaining one?" Rong Xiao grasped the key point.
Shangguan's mouth twitched, and his smile habitually became ambiguous. "I didn't expect you to be able to think with your brain. It's really not easy."
"Hey, Shangguan, do you want to be chopped?" Ling Xi stood up angrily and waved the bloody kitchen knife in front of his eyes.
Long Qingyu's expression was not very good either: "Don't make fun of Rong Xiao, speak properly."
Shangguan, the target of public criticism: “…” Did he accidentally ignite the team’s line of fire?
Everyone stands on Rong Xiao's side!
"This room should not be missed. Let's go to the other two rooms and check." Long Qingyu took the key found by Shangguan Yu, tried twice, and successfully opened the lock of the door next door.
After the previous lesson, the first thing they did after knocking on the door was to check the wardrobe.
The closet was full of clothes, there were no zombies, and there was no metal box they were looking for.
"There's a very good chance there's another zombie in this room," Shangguan Yu paused and then changed his tone, "or maybe there's a living person. It's hard to say, but there's probably more than one."
They searched the entire second bedroom, but still couldn't find the metal box. They searched everything that could be used to store things, but still couldn't find any bullets.
The target of bullets is neither big nor small. Long Qingyu wants not just one, but dozens of them. He will not miss any of them.
"This is the last hope, it must be there." Ling Xi put her hands together and prayed outside the last door, holding two kitchen knives in her hands, which looked more like a threat.
Long Qingyu entered the house smoothly. Inside was a study. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided a wide view, allowing one to even see the zombies walking in the green belt downstairs.
The night fades and dawn is not far away.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw a locked metal cabinet behind the desk. The keyhole was about the same size as the last remaining key.
Shangguan Yu was about to go up and unlock the door when a mutant man crawled out from under the table, trying to pounce on him with his fangs and claws, but he pushed him back with an ice pick in disgust.
He didn't want to see blood on his hands unless it was necessary. If he used the tip to chop him down, blood would definitely splatter.
He hated having blood stains on his clean clothes.
There was a blind spot under the table. Long Qingyu had already chosen a position and was ready to respond at any time. As soon as the zombie was pushed away, he killed it with an axe.
Shangguan tiptoed to avoid the splattered blood, made sure his body was clean, breathed a sigh of relief, and put the key into the keyhole.
The lock opened, and inside was a metal box, similar to the luminous object in the sky, except it didn't glow.
The box was very heavy, so Long Qingyu took it out and placed it on the table.
If there are bullets inside, it will bring hope to the entire team; if there is nothing, the pressure and blow will probably crush everyone.
For the first time, Long Qingyu was so nervous that his fingers were shaking. He carefully opened the lid and found that there were actually twenty bullets stacked inside.
"Holy shit!" Ling Xi yelled, "Is this true? Check it out!"
Long Qingyu directly took out the gun, loaded the bullet, and reloaded it. After a careful inspection, he said: "No problem, it's a real bullet."
After putting the remaining bullets into their backpacks, the team prepared to retreat along the same route.
Ling Xi suddenly thought of something and pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "I'll go see if there's anything to eat. If there is, I'll put it in the space. Anyway, I'm here."
She had also checked the kitchens and cabinets in other houses before. As the only person with spatial abilities in the team, storing supplies was her primary task besides fighting zombies.
"Then let's look for useful things in the living room and other places. Be careful."
"I know."
The kitchen is not big, there are no zombies, no blood, and it doesn't look dangerous.
Ling Xi opened one of the compartments and saw the unopened rice. She quickly took it down and put it into the space.
Her spatial ability was a bit difficult, as she had to mark out a glowing area on the ground and put the things in before she could put them into the space.
It is impossible to put things on uneven places like cabinets and tabletops, so you have to move them out of the cabinets every time.
"I'll help too!" The kitchen door rustled open, and Rong Xiao poked his head in, actively and attentively helping to look for something in the cabinet. "By the way, Sister Xi, what is space?"
"Ah, it's a very vague thing," Ling Xi felt that this was too difficult to explain and tried to simplify it. "It's an ability that allows you to constantly put things into it, but it won't make you feel heavy!"
Rong Xiao paused. Isn’t this just like the shopping cart that Teacher Mosaic mentioned?
So... Sister Xi is a shopping cart! !
Rong Xiao's shining eyes stayed on Ling Xi for a long time.
She was secretly thinking, this team is awesome! Not only do they have a portable stove, they also have a human shopping cart!
I was thinking about the impolite thing I had done, but I didn't stop doing it.
Ling Xi stared at the busy figure and suddenly felt a little depressed.
It was not clear what Long Qingyu would do with Rong Xiao after the game was over. Although they had spent a short time together, she really treated Rong Xiao as her own sister. She was very happy to have her around and it was easy to take care of her.
Although she is silly and occasionally does some risky things, she is like a huge mascot. Everything goes smoothly every time and she remains unscathed even when fighting zombies head-on.
As Ling Xi thought about it, she suddenly understood how Rong Xiao survived!
She must be extremely lucky!
Maybe he has a special ability called luck, so every time he encounters danger, he can escape danger safely, and no matter what he does, there will be no accidents.
This guy is a mascot in the team!
The more Ling Xi analyzed, the more reliable it seemed to her. She was indeed very smart and could even think of things like luck and supernatural powers.
"Creaky..." There was a clanging sound in the cupboard on the right, as if something was pressing on the wooden board inside.
Lingxi, who was moving instant noodles, threw the things away and wanted to grab the kitchen knife on the table. The cupboard hanging above it suddenly became quiet, and a man with bloodshot eyes jumped out from the inconspicuous flip-top washing machine at the corner.
He seemed to have been hibernating in the washing machine, and was only awakened by the sound when someone entered the kitchen.
The man was very thin, and when he pounced out, he was as agile and quick as a shrimp. He could easily bite his neck before Ling Xi picked up the kitchen knife.
However, he stopped in mid-air.

I don't quite understand what I'm reading. I think novels are about constructing a space for imagination, but this space is so confusing. I don't understand it.
[Yes, yes, yes, I think this kind of spatial ability is more scientific (?)]
