Escaping the Nuclear Fallout Shelter that has Turned Into a Dungeon Alone Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Awakening

(Author: I tried writing a new work, it will be the second work.
Thank you in advance.)

In the darkness where there is no light, bu~u~un……the sound of a machine flows gently.

This was the only thing in the dark for 100 years. A change suddenly occurs.

From a big machine that was located in the room, a blue light was emitted and began scanning an object.

The object illuminated by the light has a rectangular metallic shine, like a coffin made of metal.

After the beeps and electronic sounds, the machine’s voice announcement flows, and the coffin lid opens with a groan while steam is jetted out.

At the same time an emergency light in the room went on. The red glow of the emergency light illuminates the room.

It was a naked boy who was in the coffin.

「Mm……. …hmm? C-c-cold!」

The surprised boy stirs in the coffin.

「What? Naked …why…it’s cold …」

Why am I naked?

Besides that, my head is heavy and my body feels dull.

I got up and looked around, it was a dimly lit room with red emergency lights. In the room there are 20 coffins similar to the one I was in. It’s a rather large room, is it about two cla.s.srooms?

At that time, beep! After the electronic noise sounded, “U~īn” …… something else from the machine sounds. Something protrudes from the side of the box, I investigate the source of the sound, and “paka” it opens. Inside there are clothes, food, and water.

I wear the clothes that look like blue work clothes. The clothing is thick, and it looks strong and warm. As for the food, there was suckable jelly, chocolate bars, and three water bottles.

3 servings?

For the time being, I drink water, rinsing my parched throat, then I realize that I am hungry from the growling of my stomach.

At the same time, a sudden hunger attack came.

In response, the jelly and chocolate bars are eaten.

The jelly is apple flavored and sweet, it is sweet and has a soft sour taste, it seems as if mellow melody is spreading around the throat.

When I open the wrappings of the chocolate bars, the strong scent of chocolate spreads throughout the air. Peanut cream was contained in it and it was quite sweet, and as I ate it, a warmth spread around to my back.

I finish eating two and drank some water to cleanse the palate.

It has only been 8 minutes but I think that there are only two remaining meals.

Well then, I think my stomach is full now.

Why am I in such a place?

If I remember…….there was some sort of movement in the school’s cla.s.sroom … …. in the mountains ……

Throb! A pain runs through my head!

「Ow! It hurts….」

I try to remember but a throbbing pain runs through my head.

「I will try to remember later, for now let’s try to find a way out of here」

I get out of the box that I was in and walk towards the direction of the red emergency light. Under the emergency light there is a door, and the exit seems to be over there. I put the food and water in my pocket and open the door.

“Pushū”! The door sounds as it slides open.

The end of the door looks like a pa.s.sage, but there is a mark on the wall written with paint.

「Looks like this is pointing to the left?」

If you look to the left there is a door at the end, does it point to that?

At that time a sound rises from the other side.

Looking back to the right side, an irregular shape stood to block the pa.s.sage.

Although it cannot be seen clearly from the dim glow of the emergency light, the whole body is covered in scales, its limbs are tight and thick, and a thick tail is drooping from behind.

A green lizard looking creature, about 180cm in height, stood like a person and was looking over here.

「Wha-?」

What is that?

I cannot believe the sight in front of me, what is this creature?

I stare at it completely rooted to the spot.

I simply cannot believe what I am seeing, it’s as if I am looking at the screen of a TV.

But this is reality.

Creak…….

Creak…….

With each step closer, a fear starts to slowly rise.

At that moment, a chill runs through my spine, and my paralyzed mind starts to move. My mind is in complete shock,  even in that state, a decision still makes its way through.

「Uwa ~a~a!!」

I just screamed and escaped.
