Backdoors: The Survival Guide
Chapter 20: Are You an Astrologer?

I was a little stunned at the sight before me, for a moment I thought I had made it back but looking again at this city was clearly impossible to exist on earth. It's like cities that have been destroyed and abandoned for decades, although I don't know all the places on earth I'm pretty sure there's no city like this except in the movies.

*thumping

My mind flinched as I reflexively looked back and found Hyunsuk, Olivia, Robert, and Joshua seemingly exhausted having a hard time behind me.

""" Hey are you guys going through the black room """

Except for Robert, the three said simultaneously about what they went through before. It seems that I'm not the only one going through the room.

" Wait if you also pass it "Tanya Olivia

" Yes noona, I can't count the time, but I'm sure I spent hours in that room looking for a way out "

" I am the same" Joshua said.

" You guys stuck for hours, I guess we're only there for an hour? " Olivia

" No, I'm sure I spent more time than that to find the exit "Hyunsuk.

" It seems like everyone has different times, I guess I'm only there for an hour as I thought "Supported Robert

" Is that so, but what room was that? Looks like we're being forced to separate, right? " hyunsik.

" I also don't know, is that a characteristic of the 5th floor? but is it really the 5th floor? "

" ... "

Everyone seemed to be talking and exchanging information when they were in the black room, it seemed like they were not aware of where we are now. But thankfully we were able to regroup, despite the fact that the time we needed to find our way out was different.

But there was one thing that really bothered me, I didn't know if everyone felt it too so I decided to ask.

" You guys, do you feel anything different on your body? I don't know what this is either, but I just feel like I'm different and fresher here? "

When I said that, the four of them tried to find out if there was anything different about their bodies. The first to answer was Robert.

" Mister Lan is right, there are different but I also can't identify what it is "

" Yes, my body also feels lighter here "

" I also felt it "

" ... "

In conclusion no one knows what it is, but certainly everyone can feel our bodies are completely different at the moment. And also is this my only feeling, but I also feel that the environment on this floor is also very different from the previous floors, is this because we are in the outside environment?

" Wow are we in the outside world this time? "

" This sky, the air, the city, for a place unknown to this world must be very big "

" Yes, this city is like a dead city isn't it? Is there someone here? "

" I don't know, maybe the monsters that inhabit it haha "

" ... "

Hyunsuk tried to make a joke, but everyone had a gloomy face when he heard Hyunsuk say. After everything that went through, no one would think of using common sense anymore here. After all, monsters are here, so there is no definite reason that there are no monsters in this city either.

So we did a check back and after all I was ready to lead the exploration of this dead city.

Out of the building, I set foot into this outside world for the first time. Generally humans must feel restless or afraid of a new place, I am the same but mostly I am more curious about this place. I like to know how the layout, the route, even the building, it's more like ecstasy when someone finds a new place.

Of course I'm not crazy, you can't say someone is crazy just because they're different from the others right? Basically all humans on this earth are born different, some of the same traits are considered common but there must be at least one small thing that makes them different from others.

Well back to the beginning, now I can take a closer look at the neighborhood of this city. Damaged buildings everywhere, abandoned cars, and cracked streets full of wild plants became the main sights of this city, even the sky seemed barren under the atmosphere of the city.

Me and the others walking down the broken streets, the smorgasbord of broken skyscrapers made one wonder, no one was watching us there right? under the bridge that is not touched by light seems to be the most forbidden place that should not be visited.

Even the expanse of broken cars strewn all over the street seemed to add to the terrible atmosphere that existed in this city.

We tried to check the car but there was no supplies we could get like the one on the 4th floor. Well, with the many expanses of cars, it would be too generous if every vehicle kept supplies, right?

" It seems like the location of the supplies also changes on every floor, right? " said Olivia.

" No, there is a box under the green car" Hyunsuk said unknowingly as he pointed towards the car about 7-8 meters away from us.

" there? how do you know there's a box in there? are you now a haha fortune teller" Olivia joked.

" ... "

Joking around like that we tried to walk towards the designated green car, when we arrived in front of the car I tried crouching down to see what Hyunsuk said only to widen my eyes as my hand pulled a gray box from under the car.

At first others believed that Hyunsuk was making a joke, but when they saw me pull out the gray box from under the car, everyone was speechless.

Everyone stared at Hyunsuk with faces full of confusion and questions. Is this guy really a fortune teller?

While Hyunsuk himself also had a face full of confusion.
