Chapter 16: Inside the Dungeon
Chapter 16 16. Inside the dungeon
"You have defeated the enemy. The Cursed Ghoul has been added to the illustrated book and can be viewed at any time."
Su Hong clicked on the illustrated book, cursed the corpse with his hands together, and knelt down to pray to the unknown faith. It was half hidden in the darkness of the sewer, and the purple chains covering its body slightly illuminated the rotting flesh.
"Reno Plotz was originally the eldest son of the Plotz family who had guarded the Dark Bottom Prison for generations in Prison City. After being cursed by the Dead Apostles who escaped from the prison, his bloodline was cut off and his life was short-lived."
"After the disaster strikes, he takes the initiative to contact the disaster and continues his life as a ghoul's immortal body, but his consciousness will always sink into decay."
"Cursed Ghoul Message 1: I am a sinner bewitched by the Dead Apostles and a person who brings shame to the family."
"Cursed Ghoul Message 2: It hurts, it hurts so much... I want to live..."
"Cursed Ghoul Message 3: The Dead Apostles will find me again, but not now..."
Su Hong stood up and thought, "The prison called the Dark Bottom Prison seems to be the core of the prison city. Most of the criminals who escaped from it are weird and terrifying."
This nobleman named Renault Protz was only contaminated by the Dead Apostle curse and turned into a terrible cursed ghoul.
How terrifying the Dead Apostle himself must be.
Su Hong killed the remaining corpses in the community and returned to the square. Wang Chengzhi and others who were guarding the door hurried over after seeing him coming back.
"Brother Su Hong, how are you?"
Everyone gathered around and turned their attention to him.
Su Hong took off his helmet and said, "All the monsters in the garden area have been cleaned up. Uncle Wang, please bring someone to collect the monsters' corpses and burn them."
"The survivors in other buildings will also be moved to Building 3, and all supplies and food will be collected..."
After he finished his instructions, no one objected. Wang Yuxi led six people to drag the corpses of the corpses to burn them together, and the others also got busy.
His eyes fell on the remaining survivors, "Chengzhi, Yanrui, and Lu Haifeng, follow me tomorrow to explore the dungeon on the third floor."
Su Hong's idea was very simple. He was about to go to the dungeon to kill someone, so he took Wang Chengzhi and Xu Yanrui to test their disaster abilities and verify some of his conjectures.
As for Lu Haifeng, the inner ghost, take him out to test it out and see what kind of evil he is hiding.
When Lu Haifeng heard this, his face was gloomy, but he didn't object.
Xu Yanrui wrapped her body and stepped forward, saying fearfully: "I...I want to stay here, I can help count the supplies."
Su Hong glanced at her and said, "Your arm is useful. Come in with me early tomorrow morning."
Xu Yanrui's face turned pale. She had obviously hidden the corpse's right hand, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Su Hong.
Compared with the two people who were disturbed by their thoughts, Wang Chengzhi came over eagerly.
"Brother Su Hong, can I become as powerful as you?"
Su Hong smiled, pulled Wang Chengzhi to the corner, and said seriously: "Chengzhi, you have great potential, but if you want to fully unleash your power, you have to learn to control your emotions."
Wang Chengzhi was puzzled, "Control your emotions?"
"Yes, the angrier you are, the more you unlock the hidden power of your body."
Su Hong's words were like hooks containing bait, full of temptation, which made Wang Chengzhi instantly energetic.
"I, Wang Chengzhi, am also the chosen protagonist?"
Su Hong patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and practice tonight. If you encounter danger in the dungeon tomorrow, it's up to you."
"Put it on me." Wang Chengzhi was in a happy mood, imagining that he could save the world and be admired like the protagonist in the novel.
At 9:56 p.m., most of the survivors had gathered in the relatively safe Unit 3 building, and Su Hong was the only one left in the entire Unit 2 building.
There are about a hundred survivors in the Huayuan Community, most of whom are elderly.
The end of the world came so suddenly. The community had no material reserves, and the food collected could barely last a week.
But these have nothing to do with Su Hong.
If he wanted to quickly increase his disaster potential, he had to explore new areas and face dangerous disaster monsters. His simulation this time would most likely end in a dungeon.
Early in the morning on the second day of the apocalypse, Wang Chengzhi and the others followed Su Hong's instructions, put on heavy armor, hung axes and flashlights around their waists, said goodbye to their families, and gathered in Building No. 2.
Su Hong stood in the stairwell on the third floor and raised his arm. The clock showed that the current time was 9:12 in the morning, but the sky outside the window was still dark, with only the blood mist shining coquettishly.
The garden community is extremely peaceful, no disaster monsters have invaded, and it is temporarily safe.
"Come with me." Su Hong waved to the three people who had just climbed up the stairs, and then walked towards the corridor.
"So heavy..." Xu Yanrui was wearing loose armor that was one size larger than hers. She held on to the handrail of the stairs and panted to keep up with Wang Chengzhi and the two. It was obvious that this armor was quite a burden on her.
When he reached the end of the corridor, Su Hong looked into the dungeon. The inside was dark and could not be illuminated by an iron torch. A breeze blew from inside, and some strange sounds could be vaguely heard.
He inserted the brass key into the keyhole and twisted it. There was a click, and the door lock came down with the heavy iron chain.
He grabbed the rusty fence door and pulled it out. With a creak, the dark dungeon was revealed in front of him.
Su Hong glanced sideways and reminded the three people behind him, "After entering the dungeon, everything will be dominated by me. Don't run around, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
He took off the strong flashlight from his waist and turned on the light to shine deep into the dungeon. A narrow passage led to an unknown place.
Gulp... Wang Chengzhi swallowed his saliva, and felt inexplicably scared, but he soon remembered what Su Hong said yesterday.
"I must have something extraordinary to be chosen, Wang Chengzhi, stay calm, stay calm..."
Wang Chengzhi took a deep breath and was the first to follow Su Hong into the dungeon.
Xu Yanrui made a gesture of invitation, "Haifeng, you go in first, I'm a little scared."
The fear was real, but it was not the reason why she entered the dungeon in the end. She thought that if she encountered danger in it, she could still run faster.
Lu Haifeng nodded expressionlessly and walked in with a flashlight.
Xu Yanrui was the last one to go in.
The four of them walked in the dark corridor for three minutes, and the flashlight illuminated the front, which seemed to be a basement.
They walked into the stone house and took a look. The basement was not spacious. The walls were made of flat stones, and there were three rows of wooden racks in the middle. Broken wine barrels and rusty iron hoops were scattered everywhere. It seemed to be an underground cellar.
The smell of decaying dust hit Su Hong's face, and he frowned slightly.
Fortunately, this dungeon is ventilated, otherwise they would have suffocated to death here before they went deeper.
"Su Hong... Look." Xu Yanrui's voice suddenly became a little trembling. She pointed to the shabby door of the cellar. There seemed to be two balls of light staring at them behind the door.
Su Hong's eyes fixed and looked at them.
[Decay soldiers in the prison city dungeon]
[Disaster level: present world]
[Disaster level: level 2]
[Disaster skills: skilled basic defensive swordsmanship (ordinary), basic swordsmanship taught by the prison city army, and well versed in blocking and defense. ]
[Disaster equipment: broken blade (ordinary), a broken blade that has experienced battles and fighting, with rust left by years of decay, may cause tetanus effect on the enemy. ]
Is this thing here to deliver food?
"Follow me."
Su Hong drew out his machete and walked straight over.
