555 The Rules of Hell

At this point, Lin Chi has developed a strong interest in the purpose of the incineration agency.

The policies formulated by the rulers of this city, with their toes, you will know that there is something wrong with them. I believe that the people who burn the organs are also very clear that these policies will inspire people's resistance.

——So, why do they do this?

If you want to figure out what is going on, it is better to ask the members of the incineration agency directly.

Lin Chi knew very well that even if he continued to question the patrol soldiers in the basement, he could not ask for any reliable information. Unless he could catch the upper-level leader of the incineration agency, he would not be able to know the truth.

"Your expression is not right..." The voice of the corpse demon interrupted Lin Chi's thoughts.

Lin Chi came to his senses and saw the patrolman's body staring at him with concern. He then asked, "It's okay, where did we just talk about it?"

"The people are disgusted with the rule of the burning organs." said the corpse demon.

"Oh, do you know why the incineration agency formulated such a policy?" Lin Chi asked.

"How do I know?" A distorted expression appeared on the gray face of the corpse: "The slut of the incinerator seems to have a problem with the brain, so this is the only answer, right?"

When it comes to the burning mechanism, the corpse demon's previous flattery attitude also disappeared, and the tone suddenly increased a little, and he clenched his fists tightly, obviously hating the organization to the core.

Seeing that the other party looked indignant, Lin Chi did not continue to ask. After all, this guy didn't know what the leadership of the incineration agency thought. It was just a waste of time to ask. And...

"Can you please go and guard the gate?" he said.

"Ha?" The corpse demon didn't react for a moment.

"I'm going to sleep." Lin Chi added.

"Oh." The corpse demon then understood what he meant, immediately saluted, and said in a slight tone: "I will protect your safety!"

Having said that, Lin Chi naturally would not trust this follower easily. He just opened a corner of the curtain, looked out the window, and observed the situation outside.

At this time, the soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding flamethrowers had left the area, leaving behind the charred ground and pale ashes. The smoke rose from the remains of the street and drifted towards the dark sky.

Following the burner were several heavy trucks slowly moving forward. A group of guys in dark work clothes were collecting the burned bodies on the road in bags and throwing them into the back of the truck.

Just looking at their careless actions, you can tell that these people have long been used to cleaning up corpses. It seems that the rebellion in the capital of Hell should have happened more than once. These workers are already very skilled in collecting corpses.

Seeing that the team to clean up the bodies gradually faded away, Lin Chi issued the first order to the unreliable follower he had just received:

“Go outside the door.”

"Ah?" Another surprised expression appeared on the gray face of the corpse: "It may be dangerous to go out now, I am very weak!"

"Come back tomorrow morning and knock on the door, go out quickly." Lin Chi said, lifting AK and aiming at the other party's head: "I don't like sleeping with the corpse."

"Okay, okay, don't shoot yourself!" The corpse demon said in a slight manner. Although he was a little reluctant, he left the apartment under the supervision of Lin Chi and returned to the alley next to him.

After that guy got out, Lin Chi returned to the apartment and locked the door, lay on the big bed in the bedroom, and soon lost consciousness.

...

Early the next morning, before dawn, the knocks sounded from the door, and rudely woke Lin Chi up.

"Is anyone-"

The male voice sounded at the door for a long time, and it was necessary to know who it was. Lin Chi rubbed his eyes and walked into the living room. The first thing that caught his eye was the short figure standing in the center of the living room.

The "beautiful girl" with messy hair was standing motionless in the living room, her green eyes staring at the door without blinking, and her face was full of fear.

"Is it...who?" Zhen asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's my subordinate." Lin Chi explained casually: "Don't worry."

Even though he said that, after seeing the battle on the street last night, Zhen was still a little worried and reminded him: "Be careful."

"I understand." Lin Chi said as he stood in front of the door, looked through the cat's eyes, only seeing the other party's gray skin and red eyes.

"Open the door quickly, it's dawn, I'll die in the sun!" The corpse demon's voice was very fast.

As soon as Lin Chi opened the door, the corpse demon rushed into the apartment. He looked down at his blood-colored skin with lingering fear, then reached out and pressed it on his chest. He confirmed that there was no sign of melting, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I hide in the basement?" The corpse demon turned around and looked at the dark window. Although the sun had not yet risen, the light of dawn had already cast in: "If I encounter sunlight, I will finish playing..."

"Can't you change back?" Lin Chi looked at the face of the corpse.

"Do you think I want this? My original body was blown off by the broken pieces of the burning mechanism." The corpse demon shook his head helplessly: "Now I can't go back anymore, and it's impossible to go out during the day. As long as we encounter sunshine, we alienated people will turn into mud!"

"So, what's going on with alienation?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

When the corpse demon was about to explain, he suddenly stopped behind Lin Chi and was stunned. Lin Chi turned around and saw Zhen coming behind him at some point. He stared at the patrolman's corpse in horror, his whole body trembling slightly:

"Zombies..." the boy whispered.

"I'm not a zombie!" The corpse demon hurriedly explained: "It just happened to be attached to the dead."

As soon as these words were said, Zhen's face became worse. Before Lin Chi could explain, he rushed up the stairs and hid in the bedroom on the second floor and closed the door heavily.

"That... is she okay?" The corpse demon pointed to the place where Zhen disappeared.

"It's okay, why do you have this kind of hobby?" Lin Chi asked angrily.

"No, I just remembered my daughter. When she got cancer, she was almost that big." The corpse demon sighed: "Is that... your daughter?"

"That's right."

Lin Chi was too lazy to continue discussing this issue, so he just stood in front of the window and pulled the heavy curtains to cover up the light from outside the house. Then he sat on the sofa and waved to the corpse demon who was still standing in place:

"Switch your clothes off before you sit down."

Hearing this, the corpse demon grabbed a coat next to him and put it on his body, then sat on the sofa opposite him, exhaling a long breath of "dead breath", and the rotten stinking smell floated over.

"Can you stop breathing?" Lin Chi said impatiently.

"The corpse does not need to breathe, I'm just used to it." The corpse demon said, nodding apologetically, leaning on the sofa and saying slowly: "What question do you want to ask? Please ask."

"I want to know why the residents of this city are infected with the disease of 'alienation'." Lin Chi asked the first question.

"This is an infectious disease." The corpse demon quickly explained: "The mechanism of infectiousness is unknown, but as long as we come to Hollomansk, people will gradually experience 'alienation'. You should be careful..."

"Oh?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows: "So you got infected later?"

"Yes, I came from Moscow. Don't look at me like this now. I was handsome and elegant back then. Many lesbians pursued me when I was in school." The corpse demon proudly raised his rotten chest.

Listening to the lines of the corpse demon and the rotten face in front of him, Lin Chi finally suppressed his smile, resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and asked, "Then why are you coming here?"

"To be honest, I came here to pursue my beloved girl." Speaking of this, the shape of a red heart flashed in the turbid eyes of the corpse demon: "I met her when I was studying in Moscow. She came from Hollomansk and said that I must come back here, so I followed her."

"So why don't you take her away?" Lin Chi asked.

"I didn't know that this would happen in the city at that time." The corpse demon shook his head: "The city of Hollomansk does not allow the indigenous people to leave. Although I can leave by myself, I cannot take my lover away, so I chose to stay with her."

Speaking of this, the corpse demon lowered his head in a little frustrated: "Later I realized that she ran out secretly. The reason why she suddenly came back was because of the burning machine and threatened her with her parents' lives. If I had known this would be the case..."

"Okay, don't blame yourself." Lin Chi reminded: "We are still talking about alienation."

"Oh, you said alienation..."

The corpse demon came back to his senses and continued to speak: "When I first lived, my body was still normal. Later, something gradually became wrong. I vomited every day, my limbs were weak, my whole body was hot, and my hair was lost."

"I went to the hospital, but the doctor said that my body was fine, it was just a psychological effect. At first I really believed it, until one night when I found myself mutation, I realized that I had become a monster..."

"Then you went to ask your wife?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes, probably able to imagine what was going on at that time.

"Yes." The corpse demon laughed at herself: "I went to ask her and then I learned about alienation. Guess what? This disease is normal locally. Most people will suffer from it, and the alienation abilities are also different, just like a 'superpower zoo'!"

"It's really strange." Lin Chi nodded in agreement.

It is incredible that there are so many "superpowered people" in a city. Judging from the information provided by the corpse demon, even if ordinary people come here, they will gradually gain the ability to alienate.

In addition, the symptoms mentioned by the corpse demon also made Lin Chi care more:

Vomiting, weakness in the limbs, fever and hair loss throughout the body are common symptoms of people when they encounter large doses of radiation. However, in theory, if they are exposed to radiation for a long time, normal people should have died long ago, and this kind of change will not occur at all...

Recalling the unusual behavior of the "hunter" and the various weirdos in the mysterious and powerful Soviet superpowered troops, Lin Chi pondered for a moment, and a terrifying inference slowly emerged in his mind:

——Is this city the test ground for the "Soviet Superpower Force"?

According to some real world records, during the Cold War when the US-Soviet confrontation, the Soviet Union did form a mysterious superpowered force. In the record, the Soviets selected a group of superpowered people from all over the country to form this powerful army.

There is no doubt that it is definitely very difficult to expand the scale of this army through selection. After all, superpowered people are not everywhere, and there are many scammers who seek fame. It is really too low to rely on finding superpowered people everywhere.

Could it be that the Soviet Union found a way to cultivate "artificial superpowers" and then trained in this city? If this is the case, it can explain some of the mystery here...

"Are you okay?" The voice of the corpse demon interrupted Lin Chi's thoughts again.

"It's okay." Lin Chi came to his senses, looked at the other party's gray face, and asked the next question:

"Are there any other statements about alienation?"

The corpse demon frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I have heard of a legend that they often talk about when they were drinking with their neighbors."

"What legend?" Lin Chi asked.

"I heard that there is an altar hidden under the ground of Hollomansk. The alienation of the residents is actually the gift of the god." The corpse demon laughed out loud: "This is simply nonsense. What god would give people such things?"

--is that so?

Although the story mentioned by the Corpse Demon does sound very unreliable, Lin Chi vaguely feels something is wrong.

If this legend is not groundless, it may really exist when it comes to the history of the Soviet Union!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi asked with a very fast speech: "Do you have a map here?"

The map introduction when entering the game only said that the city is located on the shore of the Caspian Sea and does not provide a specific location. Now, he suddenly became interested in the specific location of this place.

Unfortunately, things obviously won't go so smoothly.

"No." The corpse demon shook his head: "The burning authority prohibits anyone from hiding maps privately, and does not allow locals to leave the city. Recently, the investigation seems to have become more stringent."

While the two were talking, the radio in the living room suddenly rang again, which scared them all. A fanatical female voice came from the speaker, which was even more "inspiring" than the sound from the last broadcast:

"Good morning for all residents, welcome to listen to the city radio. The weather is clear today, and there is still a small amount of garbage on the streets in some urban areas that has not been cleaned. Please pay more attention when traveling."

"Repeat the local rules: In order to avoid sexual cues, even in summer, citizens must strictly abide by the regulations when traveling, and citizens in other outfits will be fined."
