Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.
Chapter 16 Anrong City 9
Upon hearing this news, even the usually composed Shi Jinwei couldn't help but gasp.
"Are you being hunted down because of this news?" she asked.
Cheng Rui shook his head; the real reason he was being hunted down was because of a key.
After receiving the news, the leaders of Anrong City knew that the world was experiencing torrential rain and there was no way to rescue everyone. They also knew that they were incapable of rescuing everyone, so they concealed the information.
They secretly left, but left behind a key—the key to the "safe house" in Anrong City.
Upon hearing the name, Shi Jinwei asked with curiosity, "What is a safe house?"
"You can think of it as a refuge," Cheng Ruijing explained simply.
According to him, each city government office building has a safe house of varying sizes, designed to preserve the most important personnel and ensure the continuation of human civilization and science in the event of an apocalyptic disaster.
The safe house in Anrong City could only accommodate five or six people, so the higher-ups didn't even consider rescuing anyone and instead fled themselves.
"They stole the keys, but they don't know the exact address." This time, Cheng Rui didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
Having the key is not enough; they also need to know the address to get in, otherwise it's all for nothing.
But Cheng Rui ran away, so his "brothers" had no choice but to bring their underlings to chase after him.
Cheng Rui killed his brother, but was stabbed by his underling.
Left with no other choice, they had to flee, which is what Shi Jinwei witnessed last night.
He finished speaking and gave another wry smile: "Now that I'm like this, without the key, I can only leave it to fate."
Anrong City is not very developed. The tallest building is the new residential area where Shi Jinwei lives, which has 16 floors.
The height might be sufficient, but whether it could withstand the floodwaters was uncertain. More importantly, they didn't know when the flood would arrive!
This game is full of traps. If she hadn't met Cheng Rui, she would have stayed here and faced the torrential rain and flood...!
Jinwei felt a chill run through her body when she thought of this.
Seeing Cheng Rui's resigned expression, and remembering the key in her pocket, she asked directly, "Is the key to the safe house similar to a regular key?"
Cheng Rui asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
A normal person would think it's some kind of high-tech thing.
Shi Jinwei glanced at him, made no attempt to hide anything, and took out the key she had found on the corpse yesterday from her pocket.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Rui couldn't help but try to get up, but the movement was too forceful and he fell back down in pain. His eyes lit up as he stared at the key in Shi Jinwei's hand: "Sister, Sister Shi, how did you get this key? We're saved, hahaha!"
"Don't be too happy yet. Let's not talk about where the safe house is yet. With you like this, it will be difficult for us to leave." Shi Jinwei said realistically.
Cheng Rui waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing. Anyway, I'm still alive thanks to you. I'm lucky to be alive for even one more day."
Hearing his optimism, Shi Jinwei began to look at him with new respect.
To her even greater surprise, Cheng Rui then directly told her the location of the safe house.
"If something happens to me, you'll still be alive." He smiled brightly. Shi Jinwei didn't say anything, knowing that she couldn't just abandon him like this now.
We should still be vigilant, but temporary cooperation is not out of the question.
Time was of the essence, and they didn't have much time to waste, so they only allowed Cheng Rui to rest for one day and set off early the next morning.
-------------------------------------
On the morning of the 16th day of the game, the two were all ready to go.
As Cheng Rui mentioned yesterday, the safe house in Anrong City is located underground in the government office building, so they would need diving equipment to get in.
The nearest diving equipment store to the museum is on the fourth floor of the shopping mall that Shi Jinwei had previously bypassed.
She wasn't flooded, but there was a high chance there were people inside, so she didn't dare to make any rash moves.
The kayaks they used were the ones they robbed, and they weren't even equipped with propellers.
However, considering that Cheng Rui was injured, Shi Jinwei, unusually kind, did not make him row the boat, but told him to stay on the boat obediently.
Cheng Rui felt a little embarrassed by what he did.
However, as a result, it took Shi Jinwei more than an hour to get to the mall by herself.
A little tired from rowing, she didn't bother circling around; instead, she used her oar to break the glass and helped Cheng Rui inside.
Fearing that someone might take advantage of the boat if she left it there, she deflated the air in the kayak and put it in her backpack to carry on her back.
As soon as the two finished getting ready and were about to walk inside, several people ran out and surrounded them.
One of the men, who seemed to be the leader, asked bluntly, "Who are you people?"
Shi Jinwei helped Cheng Rui up, putting on a harmless look: "Big brother, we are fleeing from disaster. My brother is injured, and I want to bring him in to find some medicine."
Large shopping malls usually have pharmacies, so her question is reasonable.
As for why they didn't just say they were looking for diving equipment, do you really believe someone would bring an injured person to look for diving equipment?
Even if Shi Jinwei could participate in the zero-yuan purchase on her own, it would be too foolish of her to expose her purpose so easily.
Upon hearing Shi Jinwei's words, Cheng Rui also feigned weakness, his hand still resting on his wound.
But the man remained unmoved: "We don't have the medicine. You'd better leave now. We don't welcome outsiders."
After he finished speaking, the people around him made a move to drive them away.
Seeing this, Shi Jinwei quickly continued, "If there's no medicine, can we rest here by the window for a while? My brother's wound hasn't been treated, and I'm afraid that if he keeps moving around, he'll reopen the wound."
The group of people in the mall had obviously been trapped here and hadn't suffered the beatings outside. They looked at each other and actually agreed.
However, two people were left watching them from a short distance away.
Shi Jinwei thanked him repeatedly, helped Cheng Rui sit down by the window, and took out a bottle of water from her backpack and handed it to him.
Her actions naturally attracted the attention of the two guards, and Shi Jinwei understood what was going on.
These people didn't look like they had ever gone hungry; clearly, they had taken all the goods in the mall.
However, at this point, since there are groups, there is a high probability that there will be class distinctions.
The fact that these two were assigned here means that they either have a low status in the group or are extremely capable.
However, since their eyes were fixed on the water in Shi Jinwei's hand, they naturally belonged to the former category.
However, to confirm her guess, Shi Jinwei still smiled warmly at the two of them and asked, "Big brother, we still have water, would you like some?"
From the moment Cheng Rui met her, she never showed any particular expression.
When he saw Shi Jinwei being so enthusiastic, he was completely stunned.
But the two guards didn't know that the little girl didn't seem to have any offensive power, and the man, who looked tall and strong but was injured, was now a weakling. Neither of them was anything to be afraid of.
They exchanged a glance, and then they actually came over.
Seeing this, Shi Jinwei became even more enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with the two of them.
To gain their trust, she deliberately made up a story.
The story begins after the flood when the brother and sister's house and belongings were seized by unscrupulous relatives, and continues until they are robbed by unscrupulous bandits, and the brother is injured.
The two burly men were stunned by what they heard, and couldn't help but show sympathy on their faces.
