It was still the same familiar feeling.
The moment he passed through the passage, Chen Chen felt a strong sense of weightlessness. At the same time, his eyes seemed to lose their sight and his ears lost their hearing. In other words, Chen Chen lost all senses of his body. All that was left of his entire person was an illusory consciousness, floating in the endless darkness...
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. In the next second, Chen Chen's vision returned to normal.
At this time, he was already standing on a pile of rubble. Next to him were the other two Black Knights and the small Bugatti Spaceship that had also followed. The Black Knight who had arrived earlier was standing quietly opposite.
"Click click click..."
Chen Chen's six scanners quickly popped out from his back and quickly scanned the surroundings. However, they only detected a few stray cats and dogs in the ruins. Other than that, everything was normal.
"Drones."
Then, Chen Chen said softly.
Following Chen Chen's order, the four M-1 drones on the Bugatti Spaceship also began to silently take off. While taking off, their figures quickly blurred. After flying for dozens of meters, the four drones had completely merged into the air and disappeared without a trace.
The speed of the drones' search was much faster than manpower. A few minutes later, the four drones had searched everything within a kilometer radius and the information was retrieved by Little X's clone — X-112.
"Sir Commander, there are no signs of human activity within a kilometer radius, only a large number of animals and plants..."
"Expand the range and search within a ten-kilometer radius," Chen Chen ordered.
Following the order, the drones explored further into the unknown.
While the drones were exploring, Chen Chen jumped down from the ruins and walked toward a nearby apartment that had not collapsed. Although this apartment had long been entangled by vines, it had not collapsed because it was made of ordinary reinforced concrete instead of ordinary wooden planks. Therefore, it had not collapsed even after years of wind and rain.
The original glass door of the apartment had long been damaged. The interior was dark like a gaping abyss. As Chen Chen and the three Black Knights entered, a gust of dust spread with the breeze.
Chen Chen squatted down and touched the ground. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. Based on the thickness of this layer of dust, it seemed that no one had entered for at least decades.
Seeing this, Chen Chen still did not let his guard down. He carefully walked in, then let a Black Knight lead the way and began to explore each room in the apartment.
The apartment had a total of five floors, and each floor had ten rooms side by side. They were connected by a corridor, and at the ends of the corridor were two staircases for going up and down. This was the simplest layout of an apartment building.
All the doors in the apartment were made of alloy anti-theft doors, which were still in good condition after such a long time. However, most of the anti-theft doors on the first and second floors showed signs of damage. It seemed that someone had forced their way in, but the marks were very old.
After walking around these rooms, Chen Chen did not find anything special. There was nothing more than some rotten furniture. Chen Chen even found a wallet that he did not have time to take away. There was still a large amount of cash in it.
However, anything related to food had disappeared.
"In other words, the people who broke in later only took the food, but not the money."
Chen Chen pondered. "In that case, someone pried open these doors and broke into the apartment after the collapse of the government. These people have adapted to the world without order. They look all over the world in search of food, but they don't give a damn about what used to be money."
Silently making a mental note of this clue, Chen Chen directly skipped these opened doors and walked toward the highest floor of the apartment.
It seemed that the people who broke in had many choices. They only pried open the doors on the first and second floors. From the third floor onward, only a few doors were pried open, and most of them were still intact.
There were even fewer doors pried open on the fourth floor. Up to the fifth floor, not a single door had been pried open.
Seeing this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated. He waved his hand and a Black Knight immediately stepped forward and pulled hard on the rusted door of the first room. There was a sound of metal twisting, and then there was a loud bang. The door was forcibly twisted open by the Black Knight.
These Black Knights were superhumans who had perfectly integrated with the T-virus. When they put on the GS Combat Suit and the PK Armor, their strength was amplified to a very terrifying level. It was a piece of cake for them to twist open a rusted iron door.
The moment the door was opened, the sound of metal tearing broke the long silence of this apartment, like ripples echoing into the distance, circle after circle...
At this moment, Chen Chen frowned because he suddenly noticed that this apartment seemed to be a little too quiet. It was not like the ruins he had just come from. With just a glance with the infrared vision of the PK Armor, he could see many insects and a few wild animals.
In this apartment, there was not even the sound of insects, let alone wild animals.
"Something's not right."
Chen Chen suddenly took a step back and then said, "Let's retreat!"
Without any hesitation, the Black Knight who had just opened the anti-theft door followed Chen Chen down the stairs.
Along the way, Chen Chen could not help but tense up. For some reason, he suddenly felt that even the air had become solid. It seemed that something in this apartment was slowly awakening after he made the noise.
Was it an illusion? Or...
Chen Chen only felt cold sweat dripping down his back. He clearly did not see anything, but for some reason, he suddenly had a creepy feeling. This feeling was like a dagger on his back, forcing him to brace himself and quickly escape the apartment.
When he was out of the range of the apartment, Chen Chen slowly exhaled. The heavy feeling actually faded little by little after he left the apartment.
He could not describe what kind of feeling it was. The air seemed to be pressed down by something heavy. The originally loose air became as muddy as a swamp, and it was evolving into a heavier sense of oppression.
This was a feeling that only Chen Chen could feel.
Still, this feeling was still a little vague.
Chen Chen could not help but look down at the PK Armor on his body. It seemed that this armor was blocking his feeling, just that...
"What kind of feeling is that?"
Chen Chen frowned. He could feel that this feeling was not one of the five senses. It should be an instinctive reaction of the brain to reality. Strictly speaking, it should be in the category of the sixth sense.
"In other words, I've noticed something that I've never noticed before, and that thing is directly reflected in my mind, causing me to feel a sense of danger?"
This feeling was not groundless, but more inclined to the subconscious. For example, when Chen Chen had scanned before, he had already observed many animals living in the ruins. Although the surroundings were deserted, it was full of life.
However, after entering the apartment, although Chen Chen had ignored the existence of those small animals due to his habitual thinking, the different surroundings still made his subconscious vigilance. Therefore, Chen Chen's surface thinking would feel that all kinds of things were wrong, but he could not figure out what exactly was wrong.
It was not until the next moment, when his subconscious pointed out that something was wrong – the small animals around him had disappeared. At this time, Chen Chen suddenly came to a realization and quickly left the apartment.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen turned his head again and looked at the apartment behind him.
However, when he saw it clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank!
At some point, all the doors in the apartment had been opened...
It was as if the apartment had awakened from a deep sleep. It opened its densely packed "eyes", staring at Chen Chen in front of the building...
