Chapter 432 The Inside of the Prison...
Further inside the prison, rows of rusty barbed wire fences and heavy iron gates stand tall.
Although the zombie's body had been completely burned, the dark brown, murky liquid still lingered on the walls and floor...
A strange stench, a mixture of blood and decay, filled the air. Even with a mask on, the smell seemed to penetrate the filter and reach straight into the nasal cavity.
"This smell...it's absolutely amazing." He Zhuo pinched his nose and complained in a muffled voice, "I feel like my sense of smell is going through a biohazard."
Gu Qi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "You know it smells bad, yet you still talk so much!!! Would it kill you to shut up?"
Almost everyone was holding their breath as they walked, and the faint sound of their shoes rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in the quiet environment.
Stepping inside the main prison building, the light suddenly dimmed, with only a few rays of sunlight streaming in through broken windows, casting dappled patterns on the dusty floor...
Lu Nange took out a powerful searchlight from her spatial storage. As soon as she turned it on, Zhizhi happily stretched out a vine.
With a "squeak," the lamp was rolled up and raised high, providing the perfect angle for illumination.
Following behind, Sang Che, Sang Yan, He Huaijing, and the others thought: [Nan Nan/Miss Lu/Lu Nange...This mutated plant is ridiculously strong, and it's also so considerate!]
Under the light, the details of the entire area became clear.
They first passed through the monitoring area, where the control panel was covered in dust and dozens of monitoring screens were completely black.
Several chairs were overturned on the ground, and there were several messy bloody handprints on the wall.
After passing through the monitored area, you enter Cell Block A.
Along both sides of the narrow corridor were rows of neatly arranged cells, most of the iron doors open, some even twisted and deformed...
Inside the cell—the narrow bed was covered in messy bedding, with dried and blackened food scraps and unidentified filth scattered around it.
The walls were covered with scratches and splattered blood that had turned dark brown; some scratches were so deep that the cement was visible underneath.
Scattered bones and broken shackles can still be seen in some cells.
They then passed through Ward B and Ward C in turn. The environments were similar, only the degree of damage differed.
Occasionally, a few zombies missing legs or lower bodies would drag themselves along, slowly crawling in the shadows, only to be shot in the head by Lu Nange and Shi Xu before they could even move...
A few soft "bangs" followed by the sound of brains splattering...
Further inside, they found the equipment maintenance area, where some tools were scattered, but most of them were rusted and obviously had not been used for a long time.
The security personnel's living quarters were relatively tidy, but they were still ransacked, and any useful supplies were nowhere to be found.
In the labor area, sewing machines, woodworking tools, and other items were scattered all over the ground, and unfinished prison uniforms were covered in grime...
"Look over there..." He Zhuo lowered his voice and pointed to an exceptionally heavy iron gate with the words "Serious Offenders Isolation Area" painted in red on it.
Shi Xu calmly said, "Little He, don't be afraid... There's no sign of any other living thing here except for us."
He Zhuo immediately straightened his back: "What am I afraid of? It's just my first time in prison, and I'm a little curious! I want to see what the single cells for serious offenders look like!"
Chi Yanzhou chuckled softly: "That description of you is absolutely accurate!"
He Zhuo leaned closer to Chi Yanzhou: "Brother Yan, which line? Which line?"
Lu Nange and her group exclaimed in unison, "You're even more amazing than highly accomplished monks! They can only produce relics after cremation, but you're left with just a mouth!"
"Hahahaha!" Sang Che and the others laughed along, with Xie Lin'an's laughter being particularly exaggerated and echoing in the corridor.
He Zhu gritted his teeth: "...Is this tacit understanding only directed at me?"
The tense atmosphere eased slightly amidst the laughter and conversation...
The door to the 'serious offender isolation area' was ajar, and the hinges seemed to be broken, making a creaking sound.
The passageway behind the door was even darker, filled with a stronger musty smell and a sense of oppression...
"This place feels eerie..." Gu Wan unconsciously rubbed her arms and, along with Luo Xingyou and Wen Qing, moved closer to Lu Nange.
Lu Nange sensed their tension, gently squeezed their hands, and said calmly, "Let's see what's ahead... If we don't find any useful supplies, we'll evacuate."
The team continued towards the warehouse area, each step leaving clear footprints on the dusty ground.
The prison's warehouse area was located relatively far inside the building, consisting of several interconnected large rooms. The heavy iron doors were ajar, the locks had been broken, and there were obvious pry marks on the lock cylinders.
Pushing open the iron gate, a smell mixed with dust, fabric, and a faint musty odor wafted out.
Zhizhi shone the searchlight forward at the opportune moment, illuminating the warehouse interior. What she saw was a scene of utter chaos—shelves had collapsed, goods were scattered everywhere, all covered in a thick layer of dust...
"Tsk...it's been looted." Shi Xu observed the scene.
Sure enough, the canned goods, food, and bottled water were all gone, leaving only some daily necessities: soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, toilet paper, and large buckets of cleaning agents...
There were also prison uniforms that were stacked fairly neatly, and although they were all monotonous striped shirts, the fabric was thick and sturdy.
Without hesitation, Lu Nange began to act, and wherever she went, objects vanished in droves...
The others divided the work, with some clearing obstacles and others searching around...
Lu Xici called out from the corner, "Nan Nan, there are several boxes of unopened batteries here!"
"Hey, there's a perfectly sealed set of repair tools over here!" He Zhuo called out from the other end.
After Lu Nange emptied the main warehouse, they found a small spare parts warehouse next door.
The situation here is slightly better; it contains some broken cell door lock parts, replacement light bulbs, and several large rolls of electrical wire...
"Maybe we'll need them later," Lu Nange said, putting them into her spatial storage as well, since her space had enough capacity.
After searching around the warehouse area, they found the canteen, medical room, and laundry room.
However, the situation in these places is not so optimistic.
Inside the cafeteria, the huge stove was covered in grease, plates were shattered all over the floor, the freezer had been out of power for a long time, and the contents inside were so rotten that they were unrecognizable, emitting a foul stench...
The medicine cabinet in the infirmary had been ransacked, and empty medicine bottles and bandages were scattered on the floor; all the useful medicines had already been taken.
Only some ordinary gauze and disinfectant were scattered on the ground, but they were already stained...
The scene inside the laundry room was equally suffocating; most of the washing machine doors were wide open, and the rooms were crammed with moldy clothes, making the entire space feel incredibly stuffy...
