Chapter 682: Lost in the Mountains, Suspicious Buildings! Part 2
Feng Long did not dare to remain idle for another moment and immediately instructed the soldiers to surround the strange building with their weapons. After that, he immediately followed Su Mo’s traces and ran all the way to find him.
“Our building?
“What do you mean by that?”
Su Mo could not understand what Feng Long was trying to convey with his exaggerated gestures and simply waved his hand, indicating for him to lead the way.
On the way, they pa.s.sed by the temporary campsite that was set up.
Feng Long led the way in front, and Su Mo followed closely behind him. The two soon reached the outer edge of the dense pit that soldiers surrounded.
Seeing Su Mo approaching, the soldiers recollected themselves and moved out of the way to form a path leading to the building.
“Shelter leader, no one has been seen entering or leaving the building yet. We suspect that it might be… a bait?” Feng Tianmin approached and reported.
When he saw the doubt on Su Mo’s face, the former immediately understood and led the latter toward the pothole.
The outer edge of the pit had partially blocked the view of the building, but when they arrived at the edge, they could immediately see the whole building in front of them.
Su Mo curiously looked down the pit, full of doubt but immediately froze upon seeing the building. He instantly understood what Feng Long meant by “our building.”
In the deep pit that entered his sight was a small three-story Western-style building with closed doors “silently” standing in the center.
The architectural style of the building was very similar to a self-built house on the seaside in the southern parts of Huaxia.
The building was highly recognizable as it used moisture-proof wood as the foundation and somewhat moisture-proof tiles as the roofing material.
Su Mo’s gaze lowered and carefully observed the architectural style of the entire building. His attention moved to the door at the bottom of the small building, and the surprised expression on his face became increasingly obvious to the others.
‘It’s not just familiar! It’s exactly the same!’ thought Su Mo.
The portrait that was hung on the door would ring a bell to any Huaxia descendant as soon as they saw it.
It was the Door G.o.ds— Qing Qiong and Yuchi Gong
A plaque was also hung on the door with familiar characters. Despite recognizing the words, it was hard for them to believe.
“Café de Coral Self-Service Supermarket?”
Su Mo muttered the familiar Huaxia characters on the plaque and froze, unable to speak for a while.
The name was scattered all over Huaxia and could be seen everywhere from north to south.
It was a household name that could be spotted in a bustling metropolis or a remote village of Huaxia.
However, that was back on Earth!
They were now in the wasteland. Suddenly, having to see a familiar name appear in a forest buried deep in the mountains…
‘Good gracious! It’s no wonder Feng Tianmin and the others didn’t rush to inspect the inside or even approach it.’
Even Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat in shock at seeing such a building in the wasteland, scared that some terrifying lone ghost would suddenly run out from inside it!
“Were there any movements while you were guarding the place?”
Feng Tianmin shook his head and replied sincerely to the question, “No!”
Guan Yuan, who stood beside them, had been inspecting the building for a while and joined the conversation.
“It would be completely normal to find such a building on Earth, but for some reason, I find it very unfitting for it to be here right now.
“It looks to me that there isn’t anyone in there.”
Guan Yuan pointed to the second floor, which had a window that allowed them to see the inside of the building, and handed over her binoculars.
Su Mo took the binoculars and looked through them.
The specific structure of the furnis.h.i.+ngs inside the building through the dusty gla.s.s was very blurry because they were facing away from the sunlight. It was hard to see the interior design without light facing the building.
However, the things placed beside the window were visible.
Su Mo saw a pen holder and a stack of postcards piled on the windowsill that were covered in a thick layer of dust.
Although it was hard to say for the other rooms in the house, it was apparent that there were no signs of life for at least six months, judging by the room.
‘There’s no one living inside?
‘Then, why is it here out of nowhere?’
Su Mo’s doubtful thoughts intertwined, and he could not help but frown as he thought about whether he had overlooked other changes recently.
‘Let’s see…
‘It’s unlikely that it would be found in the mountains if the predecessors of the wasteland left it. After all, it isn’t located within a village nor are there any other stores around it. It’s impossible that any consumers would pa.s.s by this place.
‘Apart from the wild animals that descended because of the pa.s.sing of the disaster in the past two days…
‘Wait! Descended?’
Su Mo stood up abruptly after seemingly grasping a clue. His mind quickly recalled the description of the game’s previous updated survival version.
