Chapter 175: Chapter 175
Yi Chen, who stayed in the middle of the bathroom, temporarily had no inclination to contend for a shower spot, continuously exhaling white breath.
“It’s indeed cold, but my body can endure it for a while.
Not only is it due to the physical training given by teacher Zede, but also because I have been wearing gentleman’s clothes for a long time, the trait of ‘Skin’ has partially ‘assimilated and transferred’ to me.
It might only be about 10% of the garment’s effect, but it can also provide some warmth.”
Scanning around the rectangular bathroom and noticing two warm water supply points, Yi Chen’s gaze revealed a hint of confusion.
“Only having two shower points is normal, as if it’s hinting that Moon Scar and I need to break out of the enclosed bathroom area to each take one… but that’s not actually the case.
The simplest way is for Moon Scar and me to join forces and occupy one of the warm showers; it’s possible for two people to shower together as well.
If we consider the ‘shower points’ as safe zones, as long as we internally agree to let 2-3 people share one shower point for the hot water, we could potentially save up to six people.
After observing for a while, Moon Scar concluded that his target was no longer in the shower area, but on these orphans.
Since there were no clothes to keep warm in such a cold environment, he thought he might as well make one himself.
Even though he was suppressed by levels and had limited ability, Moon Scar’s “Combat Skills” were still far superior to an ordinary person.
He could achieve an instant shift through the subtle movements of his knees and ankle joints, coupled with his unique pupils, which allowed him to see through the opponent’s attack route in advance and Perfectly Evade.
The killing and screaming became less and less over time.
The drains in the bathroom were also gradually occupied by bloody water,
Strangely, not a person was at the two warm shower points, and in the end, only two people remained in the bathroom—Yi Chen, who was observing, and Moon Scar, who was squatting next to a corpse.
He quickly sewed the “orange peel” he had stripped off, using the silver threads between his fingers,
eventually crafting two fleece-lined, thick coats that could cover the whole body and included matching rain boots.
As Yi Chen was immersed in Observation, his exterior had partially iced over,
suddenly, a wave of warmth swept through his body, along with the familiar feel of Skin against his skin.
Moon Scar came up from behind and personally draped the handmade leather coat over him, the inside still retaining the warmth of a human body, which was quite comfortable… Pulling up a zipper made of spine bones completely sealed the coat, letting no cold air seep through.
Throughout this process, Moon Scar had not spoken a word, not wanting to disturb Yi Chen, who was still observing; he simply waited quietly by the side.
He believed that his other half would not fail him at this crucial moment.
Yi Chen, wearing his rain boots, came to a floor tile that was mismatched, moved it away to discover ten numbers, engraved in a circle, ranging between 0-12.
The ten numbers corresponded exactly with the ten shower points,
Yi Chen quickly stepped to each shower point, rotating the water valve handles, which looked like pointers, so that they matched the corresponding clock times symbolized by the numbers.
When he adjusted the last valve, all the shower heads stopped releasing water, and the cold stopped seeping in.
two dice the size of human heads appeared in the middle of the bathroom, evidently requiring both people to throw them again to decide the “Difficulty” of an upcoming task based on the points thrown.
The dice stabilized for three seconds before dissolving into white mist and vanishing.
With a rumbling sound, the wall at the front end of the bathroom slowly moved aside.
Two guards, as tall as the ceiling and dressed in Black security uniforms with respiratory masks, walked out, and between them stood a dark-haired older woman with slight gray undertones.
She wore a long dress and high heeled shoes, with light pink pearls hanging from her earlobes, holding a registration Handbook from the Orphanage in her hand.
“Oh, this is really unacceptable! We carefully selected these orphans, only to have you kill them all… Although there’s no rule against killing, you really lack ‘compassion,’ don’t you?
Managing to clear the game in this way, ‘Cortical Insulation’ is a method I’ve seen for the first time.
Based on your excellent performance, you will be arranged to share a luxury room for two, enjoying certain privileges of our Orphanage.
