Chapter 82



After hearing what they said, Ruan Ning was quite curious about this club. After all, she had never been to such a place before, so when she saw them going up to look for someone, she got off the car and followed them.

The decoration tone of this club is dark, and you can see that a lot of thought has been put into it. The decorations, wallpapers, and other things that create the atmosphere are not the mass-produced stuff that you see outside. Even Ruan Ning, an outsider, can find the difference. It seems that the owner of this escape room club really likes this.

From the promotional poster on the front desk, we can see that this escape room club has five themes in total.

In order to save time, they decided to act separately.

As Gu Yicheng's sister, Ruan Ning was naturally assigned to his group. And it was just the two of them.

The theme they went to was called "Doll's House".

This was chosen by Ruan Ning because she saw that the other four names were all scary, ghost, etc. It was obvious that they were not interesting topics.

This one looks the most normal.

But once he entered, Ruan Ning discovered that this was also a horror-themed place.

The dolls placed at the entrance had a big crack at the corner of their mouths, which had been patched up with needle and thread, and were deliberately made to look old. They looked at them with a weird look. There were also bloody handprints of children on the wall. I don't know what kind of blood was used to replace this club, these props looked too realistic.

Even though he knew that everything in front of him was fake, Ruan Ning couldn't help swallowing when he saw this scene, and his walking speed subconsciously slowed down.

This club is really something. The theme name sounds quite ordinary, but why are there all these scary decorations inside? If she had known earlier, she would have chosen a different theme, or just stayed outside and didn't come in.

In this regard, Ruan Ning was indeed not very courageous. When she was a child, she didn't even dare to enter a haunted house. Even when she grew up, she still didn't dare to go. She was always very scared. If there wasn't someone by her side, she would have run away long ago.

"If you're scared, you can stay closer to me." Gu Yichen's deep voice rang out in the darkness.

Ruan Ning could even faintly hear a hint of smile in his words.

"..." Ruan Ning said that she was not afraid, but after only a few minutes in this secret room, she began to unconsciously lean towards the person next to her. If she hadn't remembered that she had just said that she was not afraid, she would have wanted to grab his sleeve.

The power had been cut off long ago, and there was no lighting in the entire scene, only the flashlights in their hands could illuminate. However, it was worse than having no flashlights, as it was not very clear in the dark. When the light suddenly shone, you could see the dolls with weird smiles.

This scene really lives up to its name "Doll's House".

The painting style here is a bit scary, but the scene looks very grand. There are four rooms in a complete scene. Ruan Ning followed Gu Yicheng and walked around each one. No one was seen.

"Wait, there's a partition here." Just when Ruan Ning was thinking that she was finally done shopping and could leave, Gu Yicheng knocked on the wall between the two rooms and said this.

After hearing this, Ruan Ning was stunned for a moment, "Ah."

From top to bottom, you can tell at a glance that this club has been carefully designed. The most important part of escape room is decryption. After Gu Yicheng spent more than ten minutes to find clues and finally decrypted the code of this door, Ruan Ning admired the design of this store even more.

What Ruan Ning didn't know was that the theme she entered because the name sounded the most normal was actually the most difficult one in the escape room club. Even the most experienced escape room enthusiasts who had never been here would take an hour or two to leave.

After the door was opened, the other side was not as dark as they had imagined. There were windows and sunlight shining through them, making people feel like they had escaped from death.

Ruan Ning now knew that after entering the password on the door, it meant that they had passed the theme. Those who failed would be led out through the main door by staff, and those who passed could leave through this place behind the door.

Having said that, the door here is indeed very sturdy, just as Gu Yicheng said.

What surprised her even more was that the two of them actually saw a survivor behind the door.

"Who?" When Jiang's mother heard the noise, she was still wondering who would come here at this time, and then she saw Gu Yicheng's figure. She was stunned for a long time, and then said with surprise and joy, "Little Gu, why are you here? Where is our Jingchao? Is he here with you? Is he okay?"

Jiang's mother had been in this place for more than half a month. She had always thought that Jiang Jingchao had been in the imperial capital before the end of the world, and she had been prepared that it would be difficult for the mother and son to see each other again in this life. Now that she saw Gu Yicheng, she thought of her Jingchao, and couldn't help but ask a series of questions.

Seeing her like this, Jiang's father patted her shoulder and soothed her emotions, "Don't get excited yet. Let Xiao Gu talk slowly."

Both Jiang's father and mother are over fifty this year. They used to take good care of themselves, and people often thought they were in their early thirties. But perhaps because of the end of the world this month, they have a lot of white hair on their temples, and they look much older.

Gu Yicheng was relatively gentle to Chaozi's parents. He patiently replied, "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, don't worry. Jingchao and Jingyang are here and are outside now. Everyone is doing well."

"That's good, that's good." Hearing that Jiang Jingchao and Jiang Jingyang were both fine, even the usually serious and old-fashioned Jiang's father couldn't help but sound a little more excited.

Before the apocalypse, both Jiang's father and mother were university teachers, one teaching physics and the other teaching Marxism. On the day of the apocalypse, both of them had no classes and stayed at home to rest, thus escaping the disaster.

Otherwise, he would definitely be trapped in the university campus like Jiang Jingyang, and he would not be as strong as young people, so it would be more difficult to survive. The fact that both children are alive and well is the greatest comfort to Jiang's father and mother.

There were not only Jiang's father and mother in this secret room, but also a middle-aged couple of similar age and a young woman with wavy hair.

These three people were all met by Jiang's father and mother on the way to the club. They all lived in the same community. Jiang's father and mother saw that they were also looking for another place to hide, so out of kindness, they brought them here. These days, the five of them took care of each other here, and they lived well.

Humans are social animals. Even if it is safer to stay here than outside, zombies can't get in, and food can be saved for a long time. But if you stay alone in this closed place for a long time, without anyone to talk to, even if you are fine physically, you will easily have psychological problems.

This secret room-like place had more than just the entrance that Gu Yicheng and Ruan Ning had come through. Jiang's father and mother were anxious to see them, so they took them out through a closer door.

The scene of the Jiang family reunion made the atmosphere of the entire team much more relaxed.

In the end times, having a happy family is a luxury and something that people envy. Some people present have lost all their family members, such as Su Yunjin. Some people have not even seen their parents since the end times, and do not know whether they are dead or alive, such as Xu Chi.

Ruan Ning has no relatives in this world, but sometimes she feels very fortunate because she does not have to endure the pain of separation from her loved ones again.

The only thing she cares about here is probably the teammates she has been with for more than a month. Her only wish is to see everyone alive.

This time, their purpose of coming to City B has been achieved. Jiang Jingchao successfully found her parents and brother, and everyone is still alive.

This is something worth being happy about for each of them.

But when they walked out of the club and onto the street, before they could even get into the car, they saw a large group of zombies pouring into the street from all directions. Looking around, there were at least several hundred of them, densely packed together.

Now there is no need to doubt and worry because there is no evidence. Gu Yicheng has completely confirmed that there is a psychotic zombie nearby.

They were very careful on the way here, and didn't make much noise, and didn't see any zombies. It took them no more than an hour to go up to the club and come down. In such a short time, such a large group of zombies suddenly appeared. No one would believe that there was no trick.

The only possibility that could cause the sudden appearance of hundreds of zombies is that a psychotic zombie is controlling them.

However, from the day it separated from the rescue team of Base No. 3 until today, this zombie has been following their team for two or three days before it finally couldn't help but attack. I know that its ability level is probably not low. It must be at least level three or above to have such intelligence.
