Bai Liu pushed open the door of the dilapidated security room and entered the cemetery.

The cemetery is an ordinary cemetery scene. There are rows of large stone tombstones. There is a pedestal about 1*2 meters wide on the pedestal. The birth year of the deceased is written on the pedestal. month, date of death and cause of death.

Mu Ke scanned these bases left and right, his eyes fixed, as if he was collecting information on these bases for comprehensive analysis, he raised his head and looked at Bai Liu: "Eighty percent of the people here are He died at the age of 60, and the average life expectancy is only about 52 years old. The cause of death is usually a variety of organ diseases, and he feels that the environment is bad and causes work-related injuries.”

"Not only that." Liu Jiayi stopped at a tombstone, "The later the date of birth, the later the date of death."

She calmly said: "Their average life expectancy has been shortened, and the number of sudden deaths among the causes of death has also increased."

Mu Ke followed Liu Jiayi's line of sight and saw that it was a woman who died suddenly at the age of 32 on a computer chair: "Judging from the data on the tombstone here, recently, the Sunshine City woman The average age of death has dropped to about 30 years old, and for men it has dropped to about 35 years old."

"It happens to be men and women who have just passed the best childbearing age." Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu looked at him lightly: "If you can't bear children, you will die suddenly. The real estate developers here in Sunshine City obviously regulate the average life expectancy of everyone, and regulate it to a level that can be spent working with high energy for a lifetime. , the age at which productivity declines after childbearing.”

"This can maximize the value of everyone."

Mu Chengcheng looked around, lowered his head to search for grass and trees, raised his head and frowned at Bai Liu: "There are all normal tombstones here, I didn't see the entrance of the cemetery building on the 18th floor underground, and I didn't see it either. Floor number."

Tang Erda looked down at the real estate in his hand: "The number is unit 0812."

Bai Liuchen stopped, and he looked up at the tombstone: "The twelfth in the eighth row should be this."

Tang Erda looked at the place where Bai Liu stopped, and paused.

There is only one tombstone there, and the surrounding area is bare, without any other buildings. If Bai Liu said that this is the cemetery building, then there is only one possibility.

"Open the base." Bai Liu ordered calmly, "Enter the tomb."

Mu Chengcheng asked back in astonishment: "Inside the tomb? That means our floor is already the first floor of the cemetery?"

"But if the first floor is the entrance, you have to open it to enter..." Mu Chengcheng looked at the young man on the tombstone who died at the age of 26, "Then where are the tombs of these people?"

Tang Erda also frowned: "These people died too early, and they don't look like rich people who can afford the first floor of the tomb."

Bai Liu looked calmly at the photo of the young man on the tombstone: "This is not the first floor."

"According to the normal building structure, the tomb here should be called the basement or garage, which is the cheapest location in the whole building."

"So the people buried here should be low-level citizens of Sunshine City who can't even afford an 18-story cemetery."

Tang Erda and Mu Chengcheng joined hands to raise the body of the thick base and stood up. When the base was turned over to see the situation inside, Mu Cheng couldn't bear it. Zhu took the lead in taking a deep breath, and even Mu Ke and Tang Erda changed their faces.

After lifting the pedestal, there is a dark staircase that is so narrow that only one person can pass through it. This is not a shocking scene. There is a transparent ‌plastic coffin, and there is a living person curled up in the coffin!

This young boy, who seemed to be only ten years old, hugged his shoulders, shrank into a coffin that was only two thirds of his body in a posture that seemed to be in a palace, and hugged him tightly. Tighten your body, take a slight breath, and when you breathe, the mist will fill the coffin, and a circle of mist will be reflected on the next door of the coffin. His expression is tense and painful, as if he is about to die from suffocation.

Tang Er immediately lifted the lid of the coffin, pulled the boy out of the coffin, and patted his face hard: "Wake up!"

The boy coughed twice and woke up in a daze. Seeing someone in front of him, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are you new residents of the 0812 cemetery building? I'm sorry I fell asleep just now." Now, I'll get up and let you in."

Mu Chengcheng reacted for a moment, and then he looked at the boy who got up naturally to make way for them in disbelief: "You were just... sleeping here?"

The boy didn't seem to find anything strange, and nodded: "Yes, this is my home, and I will sleep here at night."

Mu Ke looked at the transparent coffin less than 1.5 square meters with an indescribable gaze, and the boy said "home".

"If you are a resident on the ground floor of this cemetery building." Liu Jiayi stared at him and asked, "Who is the person who died at the age of 26 on the tombstone outside?"

The boy scratched his head: "That's me, but I'm not dead yet."

Mu Chengcheng looked up at a posthumous photo on the tombstone, checked the boy's face seriously and repeatedly, and finally nodded affirmatively: "That's right, although the photo is a bit blurry, it should be a person."

Bai Liu looked at the boy calmly, and asked softly: "You look like you are only ten years old, why did you set up a 26-year-old tombstone for yourself?"

"I'm 17 years old." The boy explained, "When I started working at the age of 16, I took out a loan to buy a cemetery house in the cemetery in District E. The developer on behalf of me said that he could give me a tombstone. My heart is that I don’t want to have children, and I don’t have any other wishes, so I can die when I live to be 26 years old, so I told the developer to write the date of death on the tombstone to 26 age will do."

"That's how this tombstone came about." The boy didn't feel that he had said something strange at all, and he said it to Bai Liu and the others.

Tang Erda's mood was extremely complicated: "You are only 17 years old, where are your parents?"

"They're all dead." The boy said naturally, "What are they doing on the real estate construction site? They usually die early, and not long after they die, we have a loan to buy a house for 20 years. It was taken back."

"Although the house is gone, part of the house money has not been paid off. I still have to repay the loan for more than ten years, so I can't save much money, so I can only buy a cemetery house. .”

Mu Ke moved his mind down and saw the boy's blood-stained hands. These are a pair of typical hands on the construction site dragging ropes and doing heavy physical work. He paused and asked: "Then you Where do you work now?"

"There's a new building in District C. It's just opened, and it's recruiting people. I was lucky enough to get in, and the salary is not bad. I've made a lot of money recently."

After finishing speaking in a good mood, the boy consciously climbed into the coffin and curled up into a ball, raised his head and waved to Bai Liu and the others in a friendly manner: "I have to go to work tomorrow, so go in and rest, it's late Not very safe."

The attitude was normal, as if he wasn't in a cemetery, but in an ordinary apartment, saying hello to the new neighbor who just moved in next door.

"I'm going to rest too." The boy yawned and lay down in the coffin. He pressed a button next to it, and the base stood up and closed like an elevator door that opened and closed automatically.

A group of people walked silently in the dark corridor, and the rancid smell in the air became stronger.

"That child, he is only 17 years old and not yet an adult." Tang Erda said abruptly, his voice was a little hoarse, "What kind of place can make a seventeen-year-old child already Accept everything and lie down in my grave at the age of 26."

Bai Liu's voice was calm: "There should be no concept of adulthood here. They use the standard to distinguish whether people have the ability to work, so it seems that the basic age is 16."

Tang Erda fell silent again.

The footsteps of five people came down, and when they reached the first floor, a faint, faint blue corridor light came on, and through this light, one could see the narrow and narrow cemetery building There are five households on the first floor, and the door design of each household is not the kind of open door, but the kind of narrow, push-in door with rusty iron chains hanging on the door bolt.

Each household is arranged from top to bottom, with three sliding doors, narrow layout, strong dark blue light, rotten smell, and dense sliding doors. Looking at it this way, this place like a—

Mu Ke said softly: "This is more like an incinerator than a cemetery."

As everyone stopped to observe the environment, the sound of footsteps stopped, and the corridor light went out again.

There was a sound of rattling and rattling in the darkness, a muffled sound when the sliding door was being pushed from the inside, metal chains swayed and collided back and forth, there was the sound of clothes rubbing and flesh being sticky and tearing, and the air was blowing. ‌The rancid smell suddenly became sour and astringent.

Bai Liu calmly took out a long whip from behind, and slammed it on the ground with a "snap".

The voice-activated lights in the corridor light up again with the sound.

Under the dim and flickering blue light, all the portals (sliding doors) were pushed outwards, and on each sliding door sat a body hunched up, wearing tattered and greasy clothes, with messy hair, drooping head, The arms are placed straight, and the feet are motionless.

There were flies buzzing back and forth around them, dripping from the edge of the push-lag as if fat had liquefied and turned into a pus-yellow liquid, forming small puddles on the ground, and the sour smell wafted from here.

The metal chain hanging from the door bolt dangled back and forth, casting an uneasy shadow on the ground.

Everyone took out their skill weapons and leaned against Bai Liu vigilantly to form a circle.

Bai Liu looked around, and calmly ordered: "This time we will not explore the monster's weakness, we will directly search for their cemetery real estate certificates, and if we get it, we will run to the next floor, and if there are living people, we will run with them. Don't hurt this place unless there are special circumstances. Low-level citizens and house slaves npc, because they have no housing, they are most likely to be game-following monsters, and if they are injured, they have to follow the map, understand?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

The lights in the corridor flickered twice again, and then it went dark. There was a strange breathing sound in the darkness, as if a group of people used their decayed and hollowed-out lungs to forcibly simulate the process of panting, and there was a sharp whip The sound of ‌ fell to the ground, and the lights came on again.

With maggots on both sides and rotten jaws, the corpse's head was tilted, and it rushed towards Bailiu's face ferociously!
