Chapter 271: The Silence x Qingshi Town
After running for who knows how long, until the heavy rain stopped, Kainosuke finally arrived at Qingshi Town.
"Crack."
A broken wooden board was broken by Kainosuke's kick.
A gust of cold wind howled by, making Kainosuke, who had just been exposed to a heavy rain, feel chilly all over.
There was deathly silence in Qingshi Town.
The heavy rain has stopped, but not a single person can be seen on the streets of Qingshi Town. For those who don't know, they thought this was a deserted village.
"I... am late?"
Looking at the deserted town in front of me, I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
But no matter what, he had to go in and take a look to see if there were any survivors.
"Ah Hui, you stay here."
Putting down the forest wolf and letting it rest outside, the forest wolf found a dry corner by himself, shook off the rainwater from his body, and lay on the ground quietly licking his hair.
Kainosuke took a deep breath, picked up his spirits, and walked slowly around the outskirts of the town.
It is now evening, and the bad weather has completely shrouded the town in darkness. The cold and humid air is slowly rolling around, and occasionally there are some small pebbles underfoot.
"sand…"
Kainosuke suddenly stopped and looked up at this familiar yard, which was the yard of Shimura Daiki.
"What on earth happened?"
While walking around the yard, Kainosuke noticed that there were many scratches on the wall outside the yard, varying in depth and length, which seemed to be left by some kind of ferocious beast.
But he knew in his heart that there would never be a beast of this size in Qingshi Town.
This made him more vigilant, lowering his breath, and being extremely careful with his feet, trying to avoid stepping on stones.
As he walked, Kainosuke arrived at the back door of the yard, and the walls and gate at the back door all collapsed for unknown reasons.
Two small trees fell in the garden of the yard, overwhelming a patch of budding flowers in the garden, and several broken benches were scattered randomly in the yard.
A homemade swing fell to the side, and two broken rough hemp ropes were tied to a wooden frame. The wooden frame had also been broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"This is Xiaoqian's swing."
Kainosuke took a deep breath, picked up a broken piece of wood from the ground, and walked step by step towards the house in the yard.
Silently, he approached the door step by step, and paused when he reached for the doorknob.
"This is……!"
The pupils in his eyes shrank, and he noticed that there was actually a puddle of mucus on the door handle, and it gave him the same feeling as when he faced his mother.
This gave him a chill in his heart.
"what to do?"
For a moment, Kainosuke hesitated.
He was afraid that he would become those monsters, but he was even more afraid of meeting those monsters.
"Creak~"
At this time, a breeze blew, blowing the closed wooden door half open.
Kainosuke was so frightened that he panicked and quickly hid behind the collapsed wall nearby.
After waiting for a while and not hearing any movement, Kainosuke walked out from behind the wall with a slightly calm expression and came to the right side of the door.
I gently poked my head out and looked in from the outside. It was pitch black.
"Huh~"
A burst of cold air rushed towards him, sending chills all over Kainosuke's body, and it seemed that all the joints in his body had become stiff.
He clenched his fists, mustered up the courage, and stepped in.
The light inside is very dark, and you can barely see anything. Kainosuke has been a guest at Uncle Shimura's house many times, so he is familiar with the layout.
He came to the kitchen, wrapped a kitchen rag around the wood in his hand, poured oil on it, lit it with a match, and a torch was made.
Holding the torch, everything in Kainosuke's eyes finally became brighter.
When you walk out of the kitchen, the first thing you see is a broken wooden table and wooden chairs that have been casually dumped on the ground. There are also some simple tableware and spilled rice on the ground.
He glanced around the living room casually, then turned towards a sliding door on the left side of the living room.
"Click~"
Gently open the paper door, inside is a bedroom with a large bed, and on the right is a window covered by thin curtains.
Kainosuke walked to the window, put down the torch, opened the curtains, and looked at the street outside the window with the faint light.
After the observation, he closed the curtains again, raised the torch and walked to the bed.
A thick gray wool quilt was also covered on top of a rough gray quilt. The gray and white quilt completely covered the entire big bed. Judging from the bulge in the quilt, there seemed to be someone inside.
And, there is more than one.
Although Kainosuke was excited, his movements became more cautious. He held the torch in one hand and picked up the edge of the quilt with the other hand and slowly opened it.
"Uh...!"
The moment he opened it, Kainosuke's pupils shrank suddenly and he almost vomited.
There were indeed people on the bed, an adult woman and a baby, but they were both dead.
The whole body was covered with a layer of disgusting translucent mucus, the skin was ulcerated, as if it was being decomposed, the mouth and nostrils were closed together without any gaps, and even the lips disappeared.
It's like he's about to turn into the faceless man in ghost legends.
The corpses were still in the same posture as before death. The woman held the baby in her arms tightly with her right hand, covered the baby's mouth with her palm, and grasped the quilt tightly with her other hand.
Apparently they were avoiding something before they died, so they tightly covered their mouths to prevent themselves from speaking.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and opened her ulcerated lips.
"Ah~!!!"
Let out an extremely high-pitched scream.
The woman's ulcerated arm grabbed the quilt and suddenly stretched out towards Kainosuke.
Kainosuke's pupils shrank and he quickly took a step back, while holding the torch in front of him.
But just as the woman's arm was raised, it suddenly stopped and then fell limply on the quilt.
The body collapsed as if air was leaking, and the face gradually deformed, as if the skin and muscles had slipped from the bones.
The visual experience is extremely disgusting, terrifying and cruel at the same time.
"Hu~hu~"
Kainosuke took a shaky breath, took two steps back, and hit the wall with a bang. He was really shocked.
"Is it those liquids!?"
Kainosuke recalled that the mucus on that woman was exactly the translucent liquid he had seen on Naruya and his mother, but the color had changed slightly.
Remembering that these things had been injected into his body, Kainosuke's expression became even more ugly, and he immediately turned around and left the room.
"Hu~hu~"
He ran ten meters outside before he stopped, took a deep breath, and looked back at the courtyard.
He knew who the woman was, she was Uncle Shimura's wife, and the baby was naturally Uncle Shimura's newborn child.
After a moment of silence, Kainosuke continued walking towards the inside of the town.
"how so……"
Walking on the road, Kainosuke's face was full of despair and guilt.
The scene just now clearly told him that there might be no living people left in Qingshi Town.
