Chapter 123: Wooden Cage
Following the procedure, Chen Muren made another "birdcage" for someone else.
These two individuals possess a complementary ability that seems to only work within a certain distance. Therefore, once they are separated, the curse becomes ineffective.
The cage made by Chen Muren has no door at all. Even if someone wanted to rescue them, they would have to break the steel bars with the thickness of a thumb or move the entire cage.
As for how to deal with these two people, Chen Muren hasn't figured it out yet.
In fact, he had only heard about the various evils of Yi Zhong (referring to a place or group). The few people he encountered in the cafeteria last time, though somewhat arrogant, didn't lead to deep resentment. But this time, he took the initiative to steal someone's car, so it was understandable that the other party retaliated. He couldn't bring himself to kill two defenseless people.
Thus, he could only bring these two individuals back with him.
At the same time, he intended to gather some information about Yi Zhong.
Of course, after questioning them, he couldn't possibly let them go. They have already seen the environment and personnel here, and Yi Zhong won't just let it go if they return.
It's evident that these two people also thought about this. They acted as if they didn't fear death, neither resisting nor cooperating.
Originally, Chen Muren planned to ask them some rough questions, but Tang Jing stopped him, suggesting to keep them detained for one night before further actions.
So, the two "birdcages" were separated and placed, with the prisoners' hands and feet still bound.
After settling these two individuals, everyone's attention returned to the container truck.
From the open door, one could see several large wooden boxes blocking the entrance.
But beyond the top of the wooden boxes, it was pitch black inside, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
It didn't seem appropriate to enter rashly; if two people like before suddenly appeared, it would be quite troublesome.
After discussing with Tang Jing and the others, they decided to move the things out little by little.
Dong Junwei immediately made a light bulb using plastic material on the spot.
Due to advancements in abilities, the luminosity of plastic has significantly increased. Initially, it could only emit light similar to a 40-watt old-fashioned orange light bulb, but now it's comparable to an LED tube light.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Moreover, the duration of illumination has extended from just one night to about 24 hours, although the brightness still gradually decreases over time.
Currently, Dong Junwei uses minimal materials, mainly plastic. Despite being the easiest to work with, its usefulness is limited. Even though they have sealed the gaps in the door, preventing any moths or similar creatures from getting in, the group still avoids keeping the lights on for extended periods at night to avoid drawing attention.
There might be people wandering outside at night who could be attracted by the light, inadvertently exposing their presence. Lan Shan Shan and her three companions are examples of such cases.
Tang Jing's idea is to wait until they have better conditions and a larger house with non-transparent materials so that they can safely use indoor lighting without fear of being discovered.
A plastic ball emitting light quickly ended up in Chen Muren's hands. He shook it twice before casually tossing it into the container. However, it barely made it past the first few wooden boxes near the entrance before being blocked by the contents inside.
Clearly, the interior was almost full, leaving them with no choice but to move things slowly.
However, Tang Jing shook her head, "Doesn't seem like it. For a new material to be valuable and worth creating, it should have some unique advantages. But this wooden box doesn't seem to possess anything special."
"Should we open it and take a look?"
"Let's wait for now. Let's move all the boxes first."
Several boys joined in, helping Wei Da Lei move the boxes.
Chen Muren built a flat platform connecting the truck and the ground. Once the boxes were placed on it, they would slide down like a slide.
One by one, the wooden boxes, each standing over half a person tall, were moved down.
As they went deeper inside, Chen Muren became more nervous. If he didn't care about preserving the truck, he could have forcefully dismantled everything. With his current abilities, taking things apart wouldn't be an issue. However, restoring the truck to its original state would be far more challenging.
The plastic light bulbs were indeed of great help.
With each step forward, Chen Muren installed two light bulbs on the interior walls of the carriage.
After about twenty minutes, from an inside-out comparison, the work was almost complete.
At the moment, the entire interior of the container truck was filled with wooden boxes of the same size and specifications.
No other items were present.
No swarm of zombies appeared, and there was no sign of the Gundam or Evangelion Zero.
Chen Muren's tense heart gradually relaxed as the carriage was gradually emptied.
However, right when they were handling the last few wooden boxes, Wei Da Lei suddenly exclaimed, "Holy cow, what's this?"
Following his pointed finger, Chen Muren saw, at the end of the carriage, a metal cage that looked somewhat similar to the birdcage he had made. It was placed in the corner and revealed itself as the wooden boxes were moved away.
It was clear to see.
Inside was a person.
