The Apocalypse Begins with a Nightmare

Chapter 12: Charred corpse

Views:

In the corridor, the human-faced spider did not catch up, as if its territory was limited to the first floor, or perhaps it was still afraid of something.

The skinny man didn't come up either. Lin Mo guessed that it must be the puppet that was holding him back.

This is a rare opportunity.

Lin Mo did not waste time. This safe gap might only last a few minutes, and he had to seize every second.

At that moment, he immediately began to search the seventh floor carefully.

Just as he thought, the seventh floor was relatively safe, and the source of the fire was indeed found.

Just next to the room where he first appeared, there were several charred corpses lying inside. One of the charred corpses was holding a lighter tightly in his hand.

This room was burned the most severely. Everything in sight was burnt black. Among the several charred corpses, some big and some small, the one holding the lighter was the strangest.

The other person knelt on the ground, looking like he was confessing.

This scene was extremely strange. The whole room was burned like this, but the lighter was fine.

But Lin Mo didn't have time to explore it at this time.

He needs this lighter.

"Brother, I'm sorry, can you lend me your lighter?" Lin Mo said, then reached out to take the lighter.

At this distance, you can clearly smell the burnt stench of the charred corpse.

Just as Lin Mo grabbed the lighter, the charred corpse kneeling on the ground suddenly made a click with its other hand and grabbed Lin Mo's wrist like lightning.

An intense burning sensation came from my wrist.

Lin Mo's reaction was also extremely quick.

He stabbed with the knife in his hand without hesitation.

The knife pulled out from the puppet was surprisingly cold and extremely sharp. It pierced the charred corpse's arm at once, forcing the corpse to let go.

Lin Mo drew his sword.

I couldn't pull it out, it seemed to be stuck in the bone.

Without hesitation, he immediately gave up the knife, grabbed the lighter and stepped back.

The charred corpse, which had been lowering its head, suddenly raised its head, opened its mouth, and let out a roar. Although it was a charred corpse that was unrecognizable, Lin Mo could see a kind of resentment and hatred on its face.

At this moment, burning flames continued to emerge from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the charred corpse.

Soon, the flames intensified.

The charred corpse seemed to be about to stand up. The other charred corpses in the room also showed signs of movement, and flames came out from the cracks on the charred corpses.

Lin Mo glanced at the knife that was stuck in the other person's arm and had not yet been pulled out, and quickly left the room.

It's a pity to lose that knife, but there's nothing we can do.

After experiencing so many strange and terrifying events, Lin Mo had some psychological expectations about the possibility that the charred corpse in the house might come back to life.

Lin Mo had been on guard for a long time, so he drew his sword so quickly.

The only thing I didn't expect was that once I plugged it in, I couldn't pull it out.

However, Lin Mo could sense an ominous feeling from the knife, so holding it might not be a good thing, so he just threw it away. And by using this thing to suppress the charred corpse, it might even cause a conflict between the charred corpse and the skinny man.

This deal is not a loss.

In fact, one of his arms was numb until now, and looked extremely pale and bloodless, as if it had been corroded by the malice, murderous intent and resentment on the knife.

If he continued to hold on to this knife, Lin Mo didn't know what would happen next.

Relatively speaking, this lighter is much safer. At least Lin Mo did not feel any particularly terrifying malice or curse from it.

Because the lighter was taken away, the evil spirits on the seventh floor were completely activated by Lin Mo.

Flames and thick smoke continued to pour out of the room. Several charred corpses with flames all over their bodies let out terrifying screams and crawled out of the house. Wherever they passed, flames rolled. At this time, Lin Mo had already rushed down the stairs without even looking back.

Fortunately, the skinny man had not yet come out from the fourth floor, which meant that he had not yet escaped from the puppet doll.

This may be the only chance of escape.

Lin Mo quickened his pace and took off his military coat while going downstairs.

He left in a hurry just now and had no time to get other flammable materials. Now he could only rely on this piece of clothing.

When I went down to the fourth floor, I heard the roar of a charred corpse above my head, accompanied by thick smoke and flames.

Lin Mo did not hesitate and continued to move forward, while using a lighter to light the military coat in his hand.

By the time he reached the second floor, the military coat was already burning fiercely. Lin Mo threw the burning military coat towards the exit on the first floor.

With a bang.

Large spider webs were ignited, emitting a dazzling light, accompanied by thick smoke and a pungent odor. The feeling was so strong that it could make a person fall over.

Lin Mo covered his nose and lowered his body to the lowest position.

The human-faced spider was very angry at the moment, but it was a creature that feared fire the most. Coupled with the continuous pouring of smoke and the fear of the pale ghost, the human-faced spider did not attack Lin Mo.

At this moment, Lin Mo was squatting at the stairs from the second floor to the first floor, waiting for an opportunity.

A gap was soon burned in the blocked first-floor exit.

After all, no matter how many spider webs there are, they cannot stop the burning of flames.

Lin Mo, who was almost suffocated to death, gritted his teeth and rushed down to the first floor.

We can't wait any longer.

The charred corpses on the seventh floor have already climbed to the third floor, and the thick smoke almost fills the entire corridor. If you don’t leave now, you will either be suffocated to death or be caught up by the charred corpses.

So Lin Mo could only take the risk.

There was a wall of fire in front, but Lin Mo had no other choice. He sped up, protected his head with his arms, and rushed out with his eyes closed.

The stinging pain from the burning was like a piercing pain, and Lin Mo knew that he was burned.

But he managed to break out.

Hearing the resentful roar of the charred corpse behind him, Lin Mo ignored the pain all over his body and did one thing.

Close the corridor door and lock it with an iron chain next to it.

"It's settled!"

After doing all this, Lin Mo stepped back while looking at the building in front of him.

Thick smoke continued to billow out of the building.

It must be said that the destructive power of the seventh-level charred corpse evil spirit was extremely strong, far beyond Lin Mo's expectations. Thinking about it now, it was a little incredible that he had snatched the lighter that he regarded as a treasure from the other party with such a scary thing.

If it happened again, Lin Mo wasn’t sure if he could do it.

Bang!

The security door on the first floor made a loud noise. Apparently, something was hitting the door.

Fortunately, Lin Mo locked it with an iron chain, otherwise the things inside would have broken out. Now Lin Mo was covered in wounds and exhausted, and he really couldn't play anymore.

But to be on the safe side, Lin Mo continued to retreat, then hid behind a wall about ten meters away and watched.

The security door at the entrance of the corridor was very strong. Although it was hit more than ten times, it was not broken open.

Faintly, one could hear the roars of the human-faced spider and the charred corpse.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt something strange and he looked up at the fourth floor of the building.

The flames have not yet fully spread to the fourth floor.

At this moment, Lin Mo saw a person at a window on the fourth floor.

Skinny man.

The other party was staring at Lin Mo.

The expressionless face and empty eyes make people feel extremely uncomfortable.

He just stared at Lin Mo, as if he wanted to remember Lin Mo's appearance; Lin Mo was of course not afraid of this, and stared back without fear at all, and when their eyes met, all Lin Mo could see was full of malice.

After a moment, the skinny man slowly retreated and disappeared into the darkness on the fourth floor.

The look in the other person's eyes before he disappeared seemed like a warning and a language, as if to say, we will meet again.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, was frowning at this time, as if he was troubled by something.

"Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"
