Chapter 466: Golden Mouse

~11 min read 2,087 words

Li Yi learned through inquiry that such a corpse exists in every building here, and only buildings with corpses can allow people to live. If there is no corpse, or if the corpse is completely rotten, leaving only bones, then the building will be marked as a dangerous area, and living people are forbidden to move in to live.

The corpse is like the guardian god of the building, protecting everyone in this dark world.

Xuan Yuezi has been observing this huge corpse that is hundreds of meters high. In her eyes, the giant corpse in front of her is not some strange thing. On the contrary, these huge corpses were once powerful creatures, but I don't know why they fell. Moreover, the corpse still has some spirituality after death, but as time passes, the spirituality in the corpse is seriously lost, and finally the flesh and blood begin to rot and disappear.

And such a huge corpse rotting does not emit any corpse odor. On the contrary, a natural fragrance permeates the air.

Li Yi saw that someone appeared on a floor upstairs, trying to pick the fruits of the trees growing on the corpse. Those fruits seemed to be edible. The fruits near the corridor had been picked almost clean, and only the fruits growing in the middle survived because it was inconvenient to pick.

But relying only on the fruits on these trees cannot maintain the survival of everyone in a building, because food supply is not enough. Besides that, there are various problems such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out either.

Perhaps it was because he had been here for too short a time and didn't know enough about this place.

It was pitch black inside, and a strange smell rushed to his face.

But he saw that a room was indeed locked, and the gate was sealed with steel plates, reminding people of the danger inside and not to open it easily. Moreover, a lot of dry blood remained on the gate, as if it had cost a lot of effort and price to seal the mouse in the house at the beginning.

The next moment, this girl wearing a dark red dress immediately turned her head and stared at Li Yi, then showed a pale and weak smile: "Are you a new guest? Hello, my name is Bai You, an old resident here. Few people move here now. Most people move to the buildings in the middle, where life is safer and there are more supplies."

"Finally someone has targeted that mouse. I knew that this golden mouse is so rare that someone would hunt it. When was the last hunt in this building? Three months ago, right? At that time, three adventurers were used, but unfortunately, it failed in the end... I thought this building would completely decline, but I didn't expect a miracle to happen."

Li Yi nodded upon hearing this. It seems that the shop is very important to this building. It seems necessary for him to go and see.

It is not 100% safe inside the building, and there are some dangers.

Li Yi didn't speak, observing while walking.

Li Yi decided to wander around the building to see and understand this strange place well.

Entered a room at random.

He was a bit surprised.

It's really a mouse.

The blood next to the mouse corpse seemed to be attracted at this moment, and all surged towards this huge pale and rotten female corpse in the middle.

The two wandered around the building.

"You need a weapon." Bai You reminded.

The giant mouse's corpse shriveled rapidly, and all the blood was sucked dry by the huge female corpse, leaving only a soft and complete golden mouse skin that looked extraordinary.

This is not the gold Li Yi is familiar with.

When Li Yi came to the fourth floor, there were two households living here.

And.

"There are few people here. If you want to live in this building, just find an empty room to live in. But be careful, some places are not particularly safe. If you encounter danger, you can change to another floor." Liu Ming said at this moment.

And hearing the movement and sound, Liu Ming, who was the guard, also gathered over. He saw the complete golden mouse skin on the ground, and then looked at Li Yi on the eighth floor, suddenly widened his eyes and showed a look of surprise.

Bai You pointed to a room not far away: "There is a mouse there. The guests in the building want to clear it, but they all failed, and several people died. If you can kill that mouse, you can get no small benefits. After all, that is a relatively rare monster."

Walked a few more floors.

Immediately, something was disturbed in the darkness, moved instantly, and then rushed towards Li Yi at an extremely fast speed.

The residents in the building were excited upon seeing this, and then they rushed down the stairs from upstairs one after another, as if they wanted to grab those gold coins.

This point also made Li Yi not relax his vigilance.

"Not bad, what's wrong?" Li Yi asked: "Is there any place that needs help?"

"Good, thank you."

These people discussed one after another.

"By the way, how is your strength?" Suddenly, Bai You asked again.

"Mouse, monster, interesting, I'll go and see." Li Yi thought for a while and decided to go and see.

But compared to the number of people the whole building could accommodate, this little bit of people seemed insignificant.

She said and looked at this huge corpse in front of her.

Just for a moment.

But this mouse's body size was astonishing, like a water buffalo rushing around. This can no longer be considered a mouse, it should be considered a mouse spirit.

Bai You said: "Not everyone will definitely abandon their building and leave. There are quite a few people willing to stay, and so far this building is still safe, not to the point of having to move away and abandon it."

However, strange things happened.

On the eighth floor, Li Yi saw a girl standing in the corridor, about eighteen years old, thin, wearing a dark red dress. She had been staring at the huge female corpse in front of her, and her behavior seemed a bit strange.

Then her figure fell back to the first floor lightly.

And the fur of this golden mouse was golden yellow, with many scars on it. It seemed that the residents here had fought with this mouse before, but unfortunately, they all failed, their corpses became the mouse's food, and the weapons in their hands became the tools for this mouse to grind its teeth. "Then why don't you leave?" Li Yi asked.

Li Yi looked at the door. The man in the suit named Liu Ming was sitting at a wooden table at this moment, staring at the kerosene lamp on the table. Although his expression was slightly uneasy, he was still performing his duties, guarding the door wholeheartedly, even if no one was monitoring, he still performed his duties and didn't slack off.

They searched everywhere, and finally the people on the opposite side of the building found Li Yi and Xuan Yuezi.

"It's an outside guest." Someone pointed at Li Yi and shouted loudly.

Li Yi looked over.

This is a bit strange.

A large amount of dry flesh and blood was stripped out. These flesh and blood seemed to have completely lost their essence, and soon shattered and scattered.

There are many graffiti on the corridors and hallways. Obviously, many people lived here before, but in the end, because of various reasons, this building lost its former vitality and looked a bit dilapidated. But what interested him was that in such a ghost place, there is actually a shop? What does the shop sell?

Li Yi was not afraid. Facing this huge mouse rushing over, he didn't use Daoist methods, just punched out relying on his own strength.

"Looking for death."

"Who hunted the golden mouse? We haven't received news of hunting operations recently."

Although this gold coin is also golden yellow, it is an unknown metal, and it seems to be stained with some special aura.

Li Yi said: "My weapon is my fist."

Li Yi's silver eyes glowed, and he could see clearly in the dark environment.

Of course, it wasn't just the fourth floor. Other floors also had lights on, scattered, distributed without any regularity. I don't know why these people don't live together, or is it that living in this environment, people are full of guard against each other? They have to guard against not only the dangers inside and outside the building, but also conflicts between people.

Although the door was closed, there was light inside, and the white light was particularly eye-catching in this slightly dim corridor.

This golden giant mouse actually hoarded so many gold coins in its stomach.

It's just that there is no order, why is there still someone acting as a guard?

Then Liu Ming remembered something. He came to the golden mouse skin, grabbed it, and shook it hard.

"Someone killed the golden mouse on the eighth floor, great."

Li Yi looked over.

This golden-furred giant mouse only took one punch and let out a sad cry, fell to the ground, and the remaining force didn't diminish, rolling directly from the corridor to the first floor, blood spilling all over the ground.

But in the stomach of this giant mouse, a large number of gold coins fell out with a clatter, rolling everywhere.

But Li Yi's arrival seemed to attract the girl's attention.

As long as the corpse does not rot, it will always protect the safety of this building. However, the state of this huge corpse is not very good, and the protection ability is not as good as before, so now it still maintains a relatively fragile balance and safety.

Such a huge movement immediately attracted the attention of many residents in the building.

The room was empty, covered with dust, and there was nothing. It seemed that the furniture had been moved away long ago, but it could be seen that people had lived here before, and there were some traces of life on the walls.

These people included men and women, old and young. Although the people living on each floor were different, there were more than a hundred people in total.

There is no elevator here. Going up and down the stairs is all relying on stairs. However, there are many stairs, a full four, one in each direction, and the stairs are relatively spacious, so it won't be crowded even if there are many people living.

Li Yi watched her leave, didn't say much, and walked straight to the sealed room, then split it without hesitation. The Gang Qi erupted, and the sealed door shattered with a bang.

He ignored Liu Ming's ghost-seeing expression on the side and picked up a gold coin on the ground to look at it.

He had seen these gold coins before.

The fist force instantly shattered the air, exploded a thunder, shaking the surrounding walls. If the strength were a bit greater, this punch could even easily shatter the wall and pierce through the building.

He walked up a few floors along the stairs.

These gold coins.

"Someone killed the golden mouse on the eighth floor, great."

"If you want to stay for a long time, you should go to the tenth floor and see. The shop there is still in business, and there may be things you need inside." Bai You said.

Li Yi was stunned when he saw this scene.

They walked out of the room one after another and came to the corridor, leaning out to look down.

"Strange world, strange people." Li Yi thought secretly.

"This should be the money of this world." Li Yi then turned and jumped, falling directly from the eighth floor.

Squeezed hard.

With Li Yi's strength, he couldn't crush it.

Obviously, this is also an unreasonable place.

Li Yi then looked at this pale and rotten female corpse again. I don't know if it was an illusion, but this tall female corpse seemed to have recovered some spirituality after absorbing the blood of that golden mouse.
