Chapter 119: Henpecked Man, Girl, Security Guard
There are abandoned old buildings on both sides and no pedestrians on the street.
The street lights were broken, and at dusk, a large shadow covered the place, making it look like a corner abandoned by time.
As the taxi drove forward, we could occasionally see one or two houses with lights on.
But when we drove into another street, closer to the Jingjiang resettlement community, we saw abandoned buildings all around and no light at all.
"Brother, what are you doing here so late at night? I'm not going there anymore. I heard a lot of weird things happened there!" The taxi driver stopped at the intersection and refused to go forward no matter what.
Jiang Chen didn't force it, he got out of the car and walked forward.
The strange thing is that there is not a single person nearby, but there are many lights on in the community, which seems to be very lively, which is out of place with the abandoned area around it.
"There's a piece of information saying that the danger level to living people in the community isn't necessarily lower than that to ghosts. So there really are people living here," Jiang Chen muttered.
"But they've probably already become a bunch of lunatics."
When I arrived at the gate, I stepped in without hesitation.
Although he had just walked through an iron gate, the surroundings suddenly became much cooler. There was a strange smell in the air, very faint, but it made Jiang Chen feel a little repulsed.
While observing, he chose the nearest building and went there.
There were many black garbage bags thrown on the road, bulging and no one knew what was in them.
"What is that?"
Jiang Chen saw something hanging on a tree in the distance. He took a closer look and saw that it was colorful and it was a few women's clothes.
One of them was shaking up and down, as if it had just fallen from a building.
He looked up and found that a window on the left side of the first floor was open. A woman's hand stretched out and waved vigorously, then quickly retracted.
"Throw clothes to attract attention, wave your hands, this is... help?"
He probably understood what the other party meant.
However, Jiang Chen did not run up like a fool. There were more dead people than living people in this community. Even if there were still people alive, they would have turned into monsters.
He didn't think that anyone would rashly ask a outsider like him for help.
Moreover, there was more than one piece of clothing on the tree, which meant that the other party had asked for help from several people in succession.
Did no one go up to rescue people, or did some people go upstairs and then find out that the person they asked for help was actually dead?
It’s okay not to help.
Jiang Chen was, after all, a kind and sunny young man. He thought for a moment and shouted upstairs, "Don't be afraid. I'll come up to save you right away. Wait for me!"
At the window on the second floor, a woman with a face as pale as paper heard this, smiled sinisterly, ran to the living room, hung herself upside down behind the security door, and waited expectantly.
On Jiang Chen's side, he passed the building and headed towards another building in front.
He was just giving the other person some spiritual encouragement.
I had no intention of actually saving anyone.
He noticed it from a distance.
Although there are seven buildings in the community, the residents seem to have chosen three of them. This is probably because after the demolition began in this area, fewer and fewer people lived there, so everyone moved together for safety reasons.
Past two completely empty buildings.
Jiang Chen arrived at Building 7.
In theory, this is the newest building in the community, but the exterior walls have long been dilapidated, with large chunks of paint falling off and even the cement layer cracked, revealing a heavily corroded red brick layer.
Walking into the corridor, it was covered with graffiti, various advertisements, and phone numbers spray-painted...
A strong sense of age.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Someone is chopping something.
Jiang Chen found out that it was a household on the first floor. As he had just arrived and was not familiar with the place, he knocked on the door of room 102.
As soon as the first knock was made, the chopping sound inside suddenly stopped.
But after knocking seven or eight times, no one opened the door.
Jiang Chen stood there for a while before a man's voice was heard from inside the door.
"Who is it?"
"I'm here to look for someone."
"Aren't you from the neighborhood?" The man opened the door a crack. There was no light in the room, half of his body was in shadow, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.
