Chapter 469 Golden Rat

Through inquiries, Li Yi learned that there is such a corpse in every building here, and only buildings with corpses can be lived in. If there is no corpse, or the corpse is completely rotten and only bones are left, then the building will be marked as a dangerous area and living people will be prohibited from moving in to live.

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

Xuan Yuezi has been observing these huge corpses that are hundreds of meters tall. In her eyes, the giant corpses in front of her are not something strange. On the contrary, these huge corpses were once powerful creatures, but they died for unknown reasons. Moreover, there is still some kind of spirituality in the corpses after death, but with the passage of time, the spirituality in the corpses is severely lost, and finally the flesh and blood began to rot and disappear.

Moreover, such a huge corpse did not emit any stench when it was decaying. On the contrary, there was a natural fragrance in the air.

Li Yi saw someone appear on one of the floors above and try to pick the fruits of the trees growing on the corpses. Those fruits seemed to be edible. The fruits near the corridor had been almost all picked. Only the fruits growing in the middle survived because they were inconvenient to pick.

But the fruits from these trees alone are not enough to sustain the survival of everyone in a building, because the food supply is simply not enough. In addition, there are various other problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn’t figure it out.

Maybe I have been here for too short a time and don’t know this place well enough.

“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, just change floors. The shops are on the tenth floor, but you have to have money.” Liu Ming said again at this moment.

“Okay, thank you.”

Li Yi decided to walk around the building, take a look, and get to know this strange place better.

Two people were wandering around the building.

There were a lot of graffiti on the stairways and corridors, and it was obvious that many people had lived here before. But for various reasons, the building lost its former vitality and looked a bit dilapidated. However, what interested him was that in such a ghost place, there was actually a shop?
What does the store sell?

and also.

The building is not 100% safe and there are some dangers.

This also made Li Yi not let down his guard.

Randomly entered a room.

The room was empty and dusty, with nothing in it, as if the furniture had been moved away long ago. But it was clear that people had lived here before, as there were some traces of life on the walls.

Li Yi didn’t say anything, he just walked and observed.

He walked up a few flights of stairs.

There is no elevator here, so you have to rely on stairs to go up and down. However, there are quite a few stairs, four in total, one in each direction, and the stairs are quite spacious, so it doesn’t seem crowded even if there are many people living here.

When Li Yi arrived at the fourth floor, there were two families living there.

Although the door was closed, there was a light on inside. The white light was particularly eye-catching in the slightly dim corridor.

Of course, it’s not just the fourth floor. Lights are on on other floors as well, scattered and in no regular pattern. I don’t know why these people don’t live together, or if it’s because living in this environment, people are wary of each other. They have to guard against not only the dangers inside and outside the building, but also conflicts between people.

After all, this place doesn’t look like there is any order.

There is just no order, so why should someone act as a gatekeeper?

Li Yi looked towards the door.
The man in a suit named Liu Ming was sitting in front of a wooden table, staring at the kerosene lamp on the table. Although he looked a little uneasy, he was still performing his duties and guarding the door diligently. Even if no one was watching, he was still loyal to his duty and did not cheat.

“Strange world, strange people.” Li Yi said in his heart.

I continued walking up a few more floors.

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

However, Li Yi’s arrival seemed to attract the girl’s attention.

The next moment, the girl in the dark red dress immediately turned her head and stared at Li Yi, then showed a pale and weak smile: “Are you a new resident? Hello, my name is Bai You and I am an old resident here. Now few people move here. Most people go to the more central buildings. Life there is safer and there are more supplies.”

“Then why don’t you leave?” Li Yi asked.

Bai You said: “Not everyone will abandon their building and leave. There are many people who are willing to stay. And so far this building is still safe. It is not to the point where we have to move out or abandon it.”

She said as she looked again at the huge corpse in front of her.

As long as the corpse has not rotted, it will always protect the safety of the building. However, this huge corpse is not in a very good condition and its protective power is not as good as before, so it still maintains a relatively fragile balance and safety.

“If you want to stay here for a long time, you should go to the tenth floor. The shops there are still open and may have what you need.” Bai You said.

Li Yi nodded when he heard this. It seemed that the store was very important to this building. It seemed that he needed to go and take a look.

“By the way, how is your strength?” Bai You suddenly asked again.

“Not bad, what’s wrong?” Li Yi asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Bai You pointed to a room not far away and said, “There is a rat there. The guests here tried to get rid of it but failed. Several people died. If you can kill the rat, you can get a lot of benefits. After all, it is a rare monster.”

Li Yi looked over.

However, I saw that one room was indeed locked. There was a steel plate on the door, reminding people of the danger inside and not to open it easily. There was also a lot of dried blood on the door, as if a lot of effort and cost were spent to seal the rat in the house.

“Mouse, these monsters are interesting. I’ll go take a look.” Li Yi thought about it and decided to go and take a look.

“You need a weapon.” Bai You reminded.

Li Yi said: “My weapon is my fist.”

“Well, I wish you good luck.” After Bai You said that, he turned and walked upstairs, as if he didn’t dare to stay on this floor any longer.

After watching him leave, Li Yi walked straight to the blocked room without saying anything, and then slashed it without hesitation. The energy burst out, and the blocked door in front of him shattered.

It was dark inside and a strange stench was overwhelming.

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

Li Yi’s silver eyes shone brightly, and he could see everything clearly in the dark environment.

He was a little surprised.

It really is a mouse.

But this rat was incredibly large, and it rushed around like a buffalo. It could no longer be considered a rat, but a rat spirit.

Moreover, the fur of this rat is golden with many scars on it. It seems that the residents here have fought with this rat before, but unfortunately, they were all defeated. The corpses became food for the rats, and the weapons in their hands became tools for the rat to grind its teeth.

“court death.”

Li Yi was not afraid. Facing the giant rat rushing towards him, he did not use any Taoist magic. He just relied on his own strength and raised his hand to punch out.

The force of the punch instantly shattered the air, creating a loud thunder that shook the surrounding walls. If the force was a little stronger, this punch could easily shatter the walls and penetrate the building.

The giant rat with golden fur let out a wail after being hit by just one punch, and fell to the ground headfirst. Then, with still enough strength left, it rolled down the corridor and fell directly to the first floor, spilling blood all over the ground.

However, something strange happened.

The blood beside the rat’s corpse seemed to be drawn at this moment, all flowing towards the pale and rotten female corpse in the middle.

Just for a moment.

The giant rat’s body shrank quickly, and all its blood was sucked dry by the giant female corpse, leaving only a soft and intact golden rat skin that looked somewhat extraordinary.

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

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

These people include men and women, old people and children. Although the people living on each floor are different, there are hundreds of them in total.

However, compared with the number of people that the entire building can accommodate, this number of people seems insignificant.

“Someone killed the golden rat on the eighth floor. That’s great.”

“Finally, someone has set their sights on that rat. I knew that the golden rat was so rare that someone would hunt it. When was the last time this building was hunted? About three months ago. At that time, only three adventurers were mobilized, but unfortunately, they failed in the end. I thought this building would be completely ruined, but I didn’t expect a miracle to happen.”

“Who hunted the golden rat? We haven’t received any news of any hunting operations recently.”

These people started talking.

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

“It’s a guest from outside.” Someone pointed at Li Yi and shouted.

Hearing the noise and sound, Liu Ming, the guard, also came over. He saw the complete golden rat skin on the ground, and then looked at Li Yi on the eighth floor. He immediately widened his eyes and showed a look of surprise.

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

A large amount of dried flesh and blood was peeled off. It seemed as if it had completely lost its essence and quickly shattered and scattered.

But in the stomach of this giant rat, a large amount of gold coins fell out and rolled everywhere.

“Gold coins, yes gold coins, lots of them.”

The people in the building became excited when they saw this, and then they rushed down the stairs one after another, as if they wanted to grab the gold coins.

Li Yi was also stunned when he saw this scene.

There are so many gold coins stored in the stomach of this giant golden rat.

He had seen these gold coins before.

The room at the fork in the road was also filled with gold coins.

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

Then he landed back on the first floor incredibly lightly.

He ignored Liu Ming’s surprised expression and casually picked up a gold coin on the ground and looked at it.

This is not the gold that Li Yi is familiar with.

Although this gold coin is also golden in color, it is an unknown metal and seems to be tainted with some special scent.

Give it a firm squeeze.

Even with Li Yi’s strength, he was unable to crush it.

Obviously, this is also unreasonable.

Li Yi then looked at the pale and rotten female corpse again. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after absorbing the blood of the golden rat, the tall female corpse seemed to have regained some of its spirituality.
