I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)

The more he moved forward, the denser the fog. When he reached the mountainside, the visibility was less than two meters.

Stepping into the uphill muddy road, Jiang Chen threw away his raincoat and exposed the black kinetic skeleton concealed beneath it.

With his tactical helmet wielded, a light blue light spread across the screen, and everything in his field of vision gradually became clear. Although there was a slight difference from daylight, it was not much of hindrance . Jiang Chen opened the safety and loaded the rifle, his movement was much more catuious.

Everything here was strange.

Logically speaking, it was difficult for rain and fog to appear at the same time, especially in heavy rain.

Through the dense and heavy fog, Jiang Chen arrived at the end of the road. It was a resort, but from the size, it wouldn't be wrong to say it was a small town. The roadside sign dangled and rust stained its emerald green surface.

However, Jiang Chen could still catch a glimpse of the remaining white paint.

Terminal Station: Datun Resort

"Is it here?"

Murmuring, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map and confirmed the coordinates. The map Mole gave him had been scanned into an electronic file, including the password for entering the underground nuclear power station.

Directly in front of him, the misty resort looked terrifying, just like a ghostly town in typical horror films.

Two words suddenly popped into Jiang Chen's head.

[Silent Hill?]

A closer look made him realize it was indeed similar, but that was all.

As a determined "non-spiritual warrior", Jiang Chen did not believe in ghosts and demons from a very young age. Despite the clearly abnormal town gave him an ominous feeling, he still moved forward along the dirt path.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.

He immediately turned back and lifted the muzzle, but there was nothing but thick mist.

"An illusion?"

Jiang Chen whispered, slowly lowering the rifle.

The resort's billboards had broken down on the side of the road, and the windows were all pitch black. If it was not for the life signal detection device revealing that no one is there, he would not have dared to step onto this path.

Without investigating the suspicious houses, Jiang Chen directly went to an abandoned hospital, following the path on the map.

As he crossed the courtyard, he noticed there were many luxury cars parked in the parking lot.

It was evident that this resort in the natural park was very popular among the rich before the war.

According to the information given to him by Mole, the entrance to the nuclear power plant was here.

At the hospital's main building entrance, he hesitated for a moment before he took out the drone terminal from the storage dimension, then deployed it at the door of the hospital. From the time he entered the resort until now, he did not even see a trace of danger, but this strange atmosphere made him unusually cautious.

A dozen Hummingbird drones flew out of the drone terminal and explored the corners of the hospital. The orange light in the fog turned into a beige glow. Although it still was not pleasing to the eye, it was much better than the previous darkness.

Holding a rifle and stepping through the door of the hospital, accompanied by his drones, Jiang Chen's eyes carefully examined every corner.

The hall was very messy, the chairs were sideways on the ground, and documents were scattered everywhere. However, in a scene typical on the wasteland, Jiang Chen still found a hint of unusualness.

It was too clean. He did not even see any corpses!

It was abnormal.

The outbreak of the war was very sudden. If the coast of Yizhou Island, which was on the front lines, had not been specifically targeted by NATO's missiles, the locals certainly would not have much time to evacuate. And he suddenly remembered there were many cars parked in the hospital garage.

This also indirectly showed that when the war happened, people did not leave the hospital at all.

Jiang Chen frowned at the thought.

[Where did they go?]

Passing through a dark corridor, the damp air was mixed with a moldy smell. After opening the air filter on the tactical helmet, his nose felt slightly better.

The entrance to the nuclear power plant was in the basement.

However, as Jiang Chen's target drew closer, his heart became even tenser. So far, he had not encountered any so-called danger. Of course, he would not optimistically think there are no differences between today and five years ago. If that was the case, why did the people from Fallout Shelter 79 never return?

Nothing was more disturbing than the unknown.

He pushed the door of the basement open and threw in a flare, raised his rifle, dashed through the door, and cautiously pointed at his surroundings.

The old medical equipment was cluttered and stacked in the corner of the basement. It looked like no one had been there for a long time.

After lowering the muzzle slightly, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map and confirmed the specific location of the entrance to the refuge. He then carefully approached the left wall of the basement, reached for the tiles above the floor and stopped at the seventh tile on the left. He pressed it down.

As Mole indicated on the back of the map, there was a hidden device on the back of the tile.

A pale orange holographic screen emerged from the wall and stopped in front of Jiang Chen. After he entered the password, the floor gently shook and the stack of medical devices buzzed to form a narrow trail.

Did he finally find it?

Jiang Chen felt relieved and tapped on his wristwatch, ready to bring Lin Lin up the mountain. Transporting nuclear power facilities would require Lin Lin, an expert in this field, to guide him. Tampering with the equipment inside could create special situations, which was why he brought her to Yizhou.

The holographic screen unfolded, but at that moment, his fingers were fixed in the air.

On the wall, he saw a shadow.

An axe was raised...

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen slammed his body to the side and rolled on the ground while taking out a nitrogen shield and laser pistol from the storage dimension.

The short axe smashed into the wall and shattered the tiles.

Jiang Chen's pupils contracted.

The figure was as hazy as smoke. The only thing truly visible was the axe.

"Buzz-"

The sound of an electric current entered his ear, Without landing the hit, the figure moved rapidly and flung the short axe in his hand at Jiang Chen.

The high-pressure air current expanded instantly to push the axe aside. At the same time, faint blue laser bullets burst out, displaying the short-range firepower advantage of laser pistols! Laser rain instantly covered the dark shadows and all the spaces it could dodge.

The bullets hit the target at least ten times.

The shadow howled in pain but still didn't lose its mobility.

Taking advantage of the short gap between bullets, it leaped back. The smoke-like figure immediately merged into the fog in the corridor.

Jiang Chen chased it out. At the same time, the Hummingbird drones followed suit.

However, when he stood in the hallway and turned on the life signal detection device, he unexpectedly discovered something odd...

Light blue ripples swept across the screen and there was only blankness on the screen. There was no trace of mutants or human activity at all...

There was a faint chill in his heart and Jiang Chen frowned.

What kind of thing was that dark shadow?
