The old man was holding a piece of human arm in his hand.

Finally, seeing that there was really no other way,

I returned to my room in 3015 and, with fear in my heart, chopped off the corpse's arm.

"The rules didn't specify what kind of meat it was, so I..."

The other residents looked at me in horror, as if I were some sort of monstrous beast.

Jin Fei's face turned pale with fright. She must really regret sharing a room with me now.

The old man clicked his tongue.

"Human flesh, of course, is also meat."

As we watched him leave, all the residents let out a sigh of relief.

"Sis, I, I..."

Seeing Jin Fei on the verge of tears, I sighed.

"I'm not a pervert. I'm just doing what I can to survive."

Time passes quickly here because there is no light, and we can't distinguish between day and night. We can only rely on the clock in the room to tell the time.

Every meal is delivered by the old man. The food he brings looks like a combination of meat and vegetables.

I only dare to eat the vegetables, afraid that the meat might be from the one we found today. The memory of the first time I chopped up a corpse makes my stomach churn.

"Tonight's rule for patrolling the building requires us to check both the upper and lower floors. If we find a neighbor who hasn't returned home, we should escort them back."

"If we come across a neighbor without shoes, we should find a room with a number 6 and hide."

"If a kind-hearted neighbor gives you candy, remember to only eat the ones with a crying face."

"These are the scenarios you might encounter, or maybe you won't encounter anything at all. Hehehe, it's all up to your luck."

The old man repeated the rules, then jingled a bunch of keys in his hand.

It's our turn tonight to patrol the opposite neighbors. They are two big guys, and one of them is the person who took away my piece of meat.

They are tall and strong, and they don't seem too nervous.

After all, their physique speaks for itself.

"Alright, we start at 10 o'clock sharp and finish at 6 in the morning."

I returned to the room with Jin Fei.

She looked at me nervously.

"You can go to sleep. I'll say it again, I'm just doing what I can to survive."

She must have some psychological trauma because of me.

I helplessly returned to the room, not knowing if the two of them would come back alive tonight.
