The Death List Novel - Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Dark Cabin
“There are quite a few perverts in this region!” Qin Lun sighed faintly from the dim room.

At this time, the apostle experts who were still fighting outside did not know who was the culprit behind this battle. They were leaning against a tattered sofa and staring at the row of projection screens in front of them. As they ate and drank, they enjoyed the heroic scene of their desperate battles. Occasionally, they would switch scenes and bring up even more exciting live broadcasts of the battles.

Behind the sofa, the Holy City Orphan and the little squirrel with big tails spat out flames. They clenched their fists and claws and glared fiercely at Qin Lun.

They kindly helped Qin Lun in the parking lot, and after that, because the young man was shamelessly asking them to provide a hiding place, they took this fellow into their lair in a daze. Originally, he thought that he would be able to support himself, but he didn’t expect this guy to be overjoyed at the sight of this place. He directly took over the place and stayed there.

It was fine if he didn’t leave. He even used all sorts of excuses to eat all the food the Holy City orphans prepared for the winter. Even the tree seeds the little squirrel hid were eaten up by him as snacks.

“What a crouching tiger! I really don’t know if my plan is the gospel of those perverts!” Qin Lun reached out and grabbed the tattered tin box beside him. “Eh, there’s no water left! Mute, is there any water left?”

Qin Lun turned his head and looked back, only to see four blazing gazes immediately shot towards him, as if he was going to burn himself alive.

“Cough cough, that … I’ll pick it up myself!” Qin Lun laughed dryly and stood up from the sofa. He walked to the distiller in the corner of the room and received half a can of water.

Drinking a mouthful of the light yellow distilled water in the can, Qin Lun recalled the scene a few days ago when the two of them came out of the parking lot.

At that time, the youth suddenly remembered that since the Holy City Orphan was able to bring this little squirrel and live alone in Atlantis City for more than two years, there would definitely be a hiding place that even wild animals would find difficult to find.

The Holy City Orphans and Little Squirrels were a little elated as they brought him here. The moment he entered, Qin Lun immediately understood why the Holy City orphans were able to survive alone for so long.

This place was originally an extremely hidden underground research facility, or part of an underground research facility. The main body of the underground research institute and the buildings on the ground have been destroyed.

Seriously speaking, this place they were in was just a monitoring room, responsible for monitoring the underground research facility’s surface condition. It was located right next to the sewerage system in Atlantis. When the underground research facility was destroyed, the power of the explosion was absorbed by the sewerage system.

As a result, the surveillance room was not completely buried, and the orphans of the Holy City had just hid in the sewer during the Battle of Doom. With the help of the pet squirrel, it took several months to slowly dig through the collapse between the monitoring room and the sewer, using the monitoring room as a hiding place for one person and one mouse.

There weren’t many substances in the surveillance room. Apart from the surveillance screen full of walls, there was only a sofa and an automatic distiller. Perhaps because of the big bang, there were still some flaws in the distiller. The distilled water, which should have been clean, would also carry some yellowish minerals when it came out of the water.

However, strangely enough, most of the surveillance equipment in the surveillance room remained intact, and there was still a portion of the energy left to operate. The device can cut into undamaged road projectors near the underground research facility and monitor the situation there.

In fact, this underground research facility was much larger than the branch fortress of the Wheel of Heaven. It even had an underground network with some of the surrounding military buildings, occupying almost one-seventh of the battle area.

The orphans of the Holy City usually relied on surveillance equipment to avoid large wild creatures and hunt some small animals to make a living. Back then, the reason why he was able to help Qin Lun in the parking lot was also because of the surveillance equipment.

However, the orphans knew that the monitoring equipment was limited in energy and only operated for a few minutes every day. Once they could clearly see the situation on the ground, they would immediately shut it down. If Qin Lun stayed open all day and night to monitor the apostles’ battles, it wouldn’t take long for the equipment to run out of energy.

Returning to his senses from his memories, Qin Lun looked at the Holy City Orphan and the little squirrel beside him again. The two little ones immediately glared back at him impolitely.

“Haha, don’t look at me like that. I ate your food, but I will repay you!” Qin Lun said with a smile.

The orphan blinked his big black-and-white eyes and turned his head. However, Qin Lun strangely understood what he meant. He was saying that it would be strange to believe you!

This Holy City orphan had eyes that could explain everything. Qin Lun had realized this after that night in the parking lot. Perhaps it was the time of the disaster that the orphan suffered a great psychological trauma, causing his language barrier. In any case, Qin Lun hadn’t heard him say a word, so he could only call him mute.

However, this did not hinder their communication. Every time Qin Lun looked into his eyes, he could instantly understand what he was trying to say. After confirming that this wasn’t telepathy, Qin Lun was worried that Joey would come out and dissect the orphan for human research.

Of course, this idea was quickly scoffed at by Joey. The “Decomposer” told him very clearly that he did not have this idea. This was obviously due to Qin Lun’s own curiosity.

“I’m not lying!” Qin Lun sighed softly. “This city will soon attract a new life, but it’s not a good thing for the survivors of the Holy City! You can see that there are hundreds of apostles fighting in this region alone. The battle they are fighting is called the City War, the final battle of the Atlantis Continental War …”

Qin Lun squatted in front of the orphans of the Holy City and slowly said, “After the war, the city will be cleaned up and the ruins will be rebuilt. Sooner or later, your nest will be discovered, and then …”

Originally, I thought that you had decided to follow me and help me in the parking lot. I didn’t expect that you would only help me in the parking lot to repay the favor of the doll … Although I am very unwilling, my life is only at the same price as the doll’s, there is no doubt that you have done me a great favor.

I ate all your stuff, because you don’t need it anymore. “If you still insist on staying alone, you will definitely be captured by the slave squad … With your reed sticks, I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive this winter!”

The Holy City orphan’s entire body trembled as he slowly turned his head. His large eyes were clear, and he could not see the slightest trace of fear.

“Alright, I know you’re not afraid of death!” Qin Lun helplessly spread out his hands. “However, I still have a lot of food at home. Do you want to eat your portion first?”

“Squeakk!” Seeing that the Holy City orphan still seemed to have some hesitation, the little squirrel grabbed his master’s dirty T-shirt robe and climbed onto his shoulder.

The Holy City orphan’s eyes lit up as if he had been reminded by the little squirrel and suddenly remembered something. He got up from the ground, hugged the doll, ran barefoot into the sewer. Qin Lun was slightly stunned. Seeing him running for a distance, he turned around and looked at himself discontentedly. He smiled bitterly and followed.

Following the orphan around in the sewer, the two of them quickly arrived at a sealed sewer. At the end of the sewer branch was a steel wall with a small door at the center that resembled a cabin door. There is a round handle in the middle of the door that should open.

Arriving at the door, the orphan turned around and looked at Qin Lun silently. However, the young man already knew what he meant. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they had already turned into clocks and watches.

“Eh!” Following the feedback from the Line of Space and Time, Qin Lun quickly saw the surroundings behind the cabin door.

“Little fellow, have you been here before? There’s only a small cabin behind. There’s nothing inside. Besides, it’s full of sewage. If you don’t clear the water, you can’t open the door.” Qin Lun looked at the orphan in confusion.

“What kind of gaze are you looking at … opening the door, even if you want to save your life?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, and the needle in his pupils jumped again. He quickly confirmed that there was indeed nothing inside the cabin, except for a small cabin door opposite the cabin.

This kind of structure … This place should still be within the scope of the underground research facility. Could this be another place where the research facility hasn’t collapsed yet? Perhaps this orphan was the child of a former staff member of the research institute …

“Little fellow, I don’t often owe people favors. I hope your choice isn’t wrong!” Qin Lun sighed and pulled out the Evil Dagger from his bosom. He crouched down and stabbed at the bottom of the cabin door.

The Sin Dagger’s ability to cut through the apostles’ equipment was even more effective against scrap metal. Soon a hole was poked in the bottom of the cabin door. After Qin Lun pulled out his dagger, the hole in the cabin door was immediately squeezed several times larger by the sewage.

The water in the opposite cabin was probably no less than tens of tons. The opening was like a high-pressure water gun of a fire engine, and the water sprayed out from the sewer tens of meters away.

More than half an hour later, the water level in the cabin finally dropped by more than half. Qin Lun waited for the water pressure inside to drop to an acceptable level before opening the cabin door.

As soon as he opened the cabin door, the orphan passed through Qin Lun’s armpit and ran into the cabin. However, he did not stay in the cabin. Instead, he waded past the cabin, stood in front of the cabin door, and turned to look at Qin Lun again.

“Across from this cabin, there really is an abandoned research lab!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he thought, “In that case, this cabin should have been a separate emergency exit for this research lab!”

There was no longer any water in the research room. Qin Lun forcefully opened the rusty cabin door.
