As soon as they entered, several tall and strong men surrounded them.

Li Yao frowned and quietly clenched his right hand into an eagle claw shape, ready to take action at any time.

"What do you mean?"

The burly man in the lead looked down at Satomi and replied:

"Weapons are not allowed in. Leave them to us for safekeeping."

Li Yao and Rimi looked at each other, then handed over their weapons one by one, allowing the strong men to make way for them.

The two walked through the messy residential area. The situation here was even worse than Platform 7 where Rimi and her friends were.

Wherever he looked, there were always a few hungry zombies with bulging jaws and dazed eyes. But from time to time, men and women passing by him, full of energy and even with rosy faces, made Li Yao feel a strange disparity.

[It is speculated that the shelter is implementing a strict hierarchical management system, and the specific discipline is unknown. ]

That's it.

"Are you building your own doomsday kingdom? Hehe."

Thinking of this, a ghostly and sinister laugh came from Li Yao's mouth.

Under the guidance of the shelter staff, the two of them came to an extremely exaggerated place.

Different from the messy and gloomy residential area, this place can be called the palace of doomsday. It is connected to the original office of the platform. The whole room is clean and tidy. The rare green plants in the scorched earth of war are like rows of soldiers lined up on both sides. The noble silk red carpet extends from the end to the feet. Various sophisticated electrical appliances are carefully classified and placed, and gorgeously decorated crystal chandeliers are regularly installed in various places on the ceiling.

Even Li Yao was confused.

Where would they get so much electricity to squander at the end of the war?

But when he thought of the dark and gloomy environment of the residential area, he felt relieved.

The man in a formal suit took over as guide and led the two into the magnificent "palace" at the end.

Gradually, a man wearing glasses, sitting high on a throne, with people on both sides, appeared in front of them.

When he saw Rimi, he immediately smiled and opened his arms to welcome her warmly.

"Ms. Satomi! It's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much~"

"What a pity, Baichuan, I don't want to see you, and I don't want to think about you."

Listening to the two people's unique greetings, Li Yao seemed to understand why Rimi hesitated at the subway station entrance just now.

The guy in front of me is called Shirakawa.

He is a complete egocentric.

……

Chapter 182: Z is here, right?

"Don't say that, Rimi~"

Shirakawa slowly walked down from the throne, and Satomi's eyes became more and more disgusted.

"As long as you are willing to stay, I promise that you can enjoy the most luxurious life here~"

"As a partner, of course."

Hearing this, Rimi's expression became even more disgusted. She glanced at the women that Shirakawa had just hugged, and then said:

"It seems like you're living a comfortable life here. I'm afraid you can't understand the hardship and fear of constantly collecting supplies in enemy-occupied areas in order to survive and watching your teammates being blown to pieces by enemy shells."

"Haha, those are things that inferior people do. Why should I understand and feel them?"

After hearing what Shirakawa said, Rimi's frown became even uglier.

"Forget it. I didn't come here to argue with you. The bugs have already infiltrated underground. I'm afraid the tunnels we used to communicate with each other have been destroyed by them. For the sake of safety, it's better to walk on the surface in the future." After saying that, Rimi turned around and walked away. "I've finished what I want to say. Goodbye."

Available in the next second.

Snapped!

A crisp snap of fingers came from Shirakawa's hands, and in an instant, a dozen men and women holding guns and steel pipes blocked Rimi's way.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Yao's mouth curled up slightly, and he laughed in his heart: Interesting.

"Shirakawa! What do you mean?!"

Rimi turned around suddenly, anger already filling her cheeks. In response to her scolding, Shirakawa opened his arms and grinned:

"No one can leave my territory without my permission~"

His palm gently lifted up Rimi's chin and he looked at her angry face greedily as if he was appreciating a work of art.

"Damn it, asking us to hand over our weapons is just to better control us..."

"Haha, after all, you are a guy who can single-handedly fight your way out of my country. I let you escape once, how can I be so careless a second time?"

"You...are so evil."

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Li Yao's voice suddenly interrupted this "beautiful" atmosphere.

"Oh my! It's really impressive! Although the wall of the platform office area was opened up, the position of the load-bearing wall was calculated accurately and it was cleverly avoided."

“Although the overhead chandelier was installed later, the wiring is perfect, and you can see how carefully the person involved put in the work.”

“The interior layout is also quite unique. Even though it is crowded in such a slightly narrow space, the arrangement and combination of height differences and sizes has a unique beauty.”

Li Yao put his hands behind his back and commented on the charm of this "palace" one by one.

He slowly turned his head, his brows relaxed, his eyelids half closed, and looked at Baichuan with a strange smile.

“This palace is truly a painting.”

Li Yao is not a professional critic, and has never received any professional art guidance. Although he has learned to paint, it is obviously not enough to discover these characteristics based on such superficial knowledge.

The most important thing is - familiarity.

After being isolated for a few hours and focusing on oneself, day after day, year after year, the different values ​​and personal aesthetics that are constantly deformed and distorted in the closed mind are formed.

Although these things in front of him did not increase his aesthetic XP, he could still feel the similarities with the twisted soul that Li Yao now had in his heart.

really.

After hearing this, Baichuan pushed away Rimi in front of him, turned around and walked straight towards Li Yao, with a smile on his face that became increasingly crazy.

"Can you feel it too?"

"Are you one of my kind?"

Li Yao sneered twice: "Of course, I can feel the intentions of your unique soul, and I am also looking forward to chatting with you all night and exchanging our feelings." Then he paused and raised his mobile phone, "But before that, can you let me feed this little thing first?"

After hearing this, Baichuan immediately turned around and shouted to his men:

"Take him to the electrical room!"

Li Yao was delighted, as he had indeed taken the bait.

"Shirakawa-kun, although I have no intention of taking your things away, Miss Satomi is still my companion on this trip. Some things are private matters of our shelter. Can I let her go with me temporarily?"

Baichuan's eyes were seen wandering between Li Yao and Rimi.

Then Li Yao smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I won't let her leave here. Besides, how can we escape without any weapons?"

These words undoubtedly completely wiped out Shirakawa's doubts, and he signaled his men to let go of Rimi with his eyes.

After expressing his thanks, Li Yao took Rimi with him and followed the guide to the electrical room.

Although there were many intact televisions, computers, mobile phones, etc. in the electrical room, it seemed that they were Baichuan's personal belongings so there was no one else except Li Yao and the other person.

After charging, Li Yao immediately turned on the screen to check the time.

There are still 8 hours of transformation time.

Since I have been living with this appearance almost every day these days, has my adaptability to [A Hundred Changes in Appearances] accelerated?

Anyway, if I continue like this, I should be able to get rid of the time limit in two days and use my original appearance freely.

But now there is a problem.

How should I put it? Even a social idiot like Li Yao could feel it.

The atmosphere in this room is very awkward...

Thinking of what he had just said to get rid of Shirakawa and rescue Rimi, Li Yao smacked his lips in distress. That look gave such a bad impression!

He's just like a scumbag who treats others as objects.

"Sister Rimi, that——"

"I know. You said that to help me, don't mind it." Rimi, who was sitting next to him, twisted her waist and moved closer to Li Yao. "On the contrary, I should thank you for helping me deal with that guy."

Li Yao glanced at Rimi who was laughing with her eyes closed, and asked after heaving a sigh of relief:

"Did Sister Rimi know Shirakawa before?"

"Yes, we knew each other before the war started."

"so early?"

Rimi nodded, her slightly opened pupils became much deeper, and Li Yao, who was looking at her, seemed to be dragged into the long river of time by the invisible power of those eyes.

Rimi and Shirakawa had known each other since elementary school. Although they couldn't be called childhood sweethearts, they were classmates who grew up together.

Just as Li Yao thought, Bai Chuan was once a person who was isolated because of his incompatibility with others due to his incompatibility with others' personality.

"He was very smart, but he often offended others because of his straightforward words. Later, in high school, he was spread rumors and bullied. He was almost never seen in school again."

"Because of our friendship as people who grew up together, I will also help him block the bullets and protect him, that's all—"

Then Rimi will also become the target of attack.

Li Yao understood.

He was very familiar with all of this, but in his conversation with Shirakawa, he did not feel any disgust towards Satomi at all. It seemed that even so, Satomi did not give up on him in the end.

Looking back at myself...

At this moment, the image of a young man dodging his gaze flashed through Li Yao's mind.

"My classmates said he had taken leave to study at home, but their words were mixed with ridicule and teasing from time to time. At that time, I kept wondering, what is the difference between them and the Baichuan I hated."

Rimi looked up at the bright lights above her head, but her expression was surprisingly lost.

"Later, when I entered university, I thought I would never see Shirakawa again, but surprisingly, he was in the same school as me. I was happy for him at the time, but later I realized that he was no longer the Shirakawa I knew."

Holding the phone, Li Yao slid the screen at will, just watching the APP icons flashing in front of his eyes.

"Because of the long-term self-isolation that led to the distortion of my heart, I fell instantly after receiving the only friendship and tenderness. However, under the distortion of my already broken heart, it changed and became a fanatical pursuit of you."

Click.

Li Yao turned off his phone.

"Am I right, Sister Rimi?"

Li Mei was stunned. After a moment of silence, she raised her fingers and gently pinched Li Yao's cheek, pouting and playfully teaching him a lesson:

"What? You are using this mature tone to tease me, your sister?"

"It hurts!"

The sounds of their laughter echoed in the room.

However, unknown to them, a third person was also listening quietly nearby.

On the shelf in the room, a camera hidden behind a lot of electrical appliances was watching Li Yao and Rimi.

On the other side, the main entrance of the shelter.

The strong men with guns sitting on guard duty sat together with the few remaining playing cards, killing the long and boring time.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The steel plate used to block the main door was knocked, and each knock was heavy and decisive.

Opening the square peephole and peeking through, a figure wearing a long hood with gold edges stood in front of the door.
