"It seems that it is true." He Lou could hardly suppress his excitement.
They had lost so many people, and only now had they made some progress. He Lou had mixed feelings for a moment. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Four days left, calm down... Four days left.
This is just the beginning.
After the excitement, He Lou's heart was once again covered with a deep sense of anxiety.
Can they really survive
Generally speaking, the difficulty is lower in the early stages of the mission, at least the ghosts will be restricted to some extent and cannot kill people at will, so they dare to sleep peacefully. As the mission progresses, especially when they have made certain progress, the restrictions on the ghosts will be gradually relaxed. By then, they may really see ghosts when eating and drinking, just like in horror movies, and every move may cause death.
The elevator arrived at the fourth floor. Lu Yanli volunteered to adjust the camera and walked out the door. He chose an inconspicuous place to put the camera, and a group of people went upstairs again.
Time passed little by little, and the fifth floor was quiet and shrouded in darkness.
In order not to alert the enemy, they made no sound and the voice-controlled lights did not light up. The not-so-long corridor was now empty and silent, in total darkness, and only the slight breathing sounds of a few people could be heard.
It was strange. There were many residents in this building during the day, but why was it so... eerily quiet at night? Not a single household made any sound. Did they all go to bed so early
A thin layer of sweat broke out on He Lou's forehead.
The dark space seemed to become enclosed, and a cold breath enveloped everyone. The breath became thicker and thicker, and gradually, it became almost impossible to breathe.
What is it
The sound of "bang bang, bang bang" suddenly rang out, and the He Building shook violently. But it was also because of the sudden sound that the voice-controlled lights lit up, and the whole building became bright in an instant.
He Lou tried to identify it for a while and found that the sound did seem to come from a layer away.
So, is it really on the fourth floor—that extra fourth floor
They didn't dare to go down immediately. According to the pattern of the past few days, the fourth floor was ready to start work at midnight every day. The sound they heard now meant that it was already past midnight.
Another day has passed.
Presumably, the constraints on ghosts have been further relaxed.
…
First floor.
"I really can't stand it anymore. They quarrel every day and my children have to go to school."
"Oh, forget it. The police can't do anything to him. What can we do?"
"No! Are you still a man?" The young wife pushed her husband awake. "I don't care anymore. I'll just take the knife and go over. If this guy keeps chopping meat, I'll really chop him up. What kind of psycho is chopping dumpling stuffing in the middle of the night..."
As she was talking, the young woman got angry. She got out of bed, put on her slippers, ran to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and stood at the door of the room with an angry face: "Are you going or not?!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay for me to go?"
"That's better." The young woman muttered.
The two entered the elevator in their pajamas, pressed the elevator button, and the door slowly closed.
She didn’t know if it was because of the lighting, but the young woman always felt that the image of the two of them reflected by the elevator door was not right. Their faces were pale and they looked very bad, like dead people.
"Isn't the air conditioner turned up too high? Honey, do you feel a little cold?"
"A little bit, we'll be fine when we get out later."
"Why is it so slow? Does the fourth floor take so long? Is it broken?"
"I'll talk to the property management tomorrow."
"Honey, do you feel like... someone is watching us?"
"… "
"Husband? Husband?"
The woman pushed her husband, and he turned around with a pale and lifeless face and lowered his head to look at her.
"Who are you? Husband? Husband?!"
“Help—”
“Ahhhh!!”
After a scream, a hair-raising tearing sound was heard.
The fourth floor, here we are.
A pool of blood slowly flowed out from the gap of the elevator door. Soon, the blood seemed to have life and flowed towards a door. It was sucked up cleanly, leaving no trace on the ground.
Then, the elevator door opened, and a large ball of fresh raw meat was quietly placed in the middle of the elevator, red and white, just like the raw meat dumpling filling bought from the market.
The strange thing was that the next second, it was gradually pressed into a flat shape by some invisible pressure, like a piece of paper being lightly sucked into the gap of a door.
The sound of chopping meat paused, and then became more fierce.
…
First floor, 101.
The young man yawned and opened the door. He went into the house and looked at his wife and children. Seeing that they were both asleep, a smile appeared on the man's tired face. Then, he smelled the tempting fragrance coming from the kitchen.
His wife must have known that he was working overtime and left it for him.
A warm feeling surged in the young man's heart. He tiptoed into the kitchen and turned on the light. Something was stewing in the pot. He lifted the lid and saw dumplings tumbling in boiling water. The meat filling was pink and the aroma was fragrant.
With delicious food accompanying you late at night, even the annoying sound of chopping meat upstairs is not so annoying anymore.
He ate the dumplings with great satisfaction.
I will move out when I make some more money to avoid such disgusting neighbors. And chopping dumpling stuffing? Who are you kidding
405 That damn bald guy!
He bit the dumplings angrily, as if he was biting the other person's flesh. After eating and drinking, the man washed up, went into the room and lay down on the bed. He carefully put his arm around his wife for fear of waking her up.
"Is it delicious?" A young woman's voice rang out in the dark room.
My wife's voice seemed a little cold. No, not only her voice, but her whole body exuded a cold aura, which seeped into her whole body along the stiff skin that my palm touched.
"You..." The man froze in place.
…
On the fifth floor, several people waited until the bang-bang sounds completely disappeared before they prepared to go downstairs.
I don't know why, but the sound lasted longer today than before, as if... it had new ingredients.
He Lou noted this anomaly. In the darkness, he glanced in Lu Yanli's direction again. The other party seemed to sense his gaze and smiled at him with a soothing tone.
He Lou didn't feel comforted at all. There was always a huge stone pressing on his heart, heavy.
The way out, what exactly is the way out
A strange train station, a female star who raises zombies, an extra fourth floor, weird neighbors, the sound of chopping meat in the middle of the night, and the ocean park named after a female star that the neighbor often goes to...
Everything seemed unrelated, but He Lou always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, and the thing he overlooked was the clue that could connect everything together.
Also, what role did Lu Yanli play in this? Why was he able to remain safe and sound until now
Even though Lu Yanli behaved as cowardly and stupid as always, he never dared to underestimate him again.
Fortunately, they returned to Lu Yanli's home safely. They looked at each other in silence, washed up, and went back to their room to sleep.
Huang Wei and Feng Chuchu were both dead, so the room was naturally empty. They had originally occupied Lu Yanli's room, and now the original owner could finally return to his own room to rest.
He Lou watched Lu Yanli enter the room with a flickering look in his eyes. He returned to his room only after he saw the light in the crack of the other person's door dim.
However, he did not rest. Instead, he turned on his computer and visited some anonymous websites.
He was the one who first discovered the information about Lan Zhiyu raising zombies and how to kill them. Because he published some of Lan Zhiyu's secret information, many more people are following him now, and some have even sent him private messages asking if he has any other information about zombies.
Seemingly realizing that he didn't know much about zombies, many people were kind enough to tell him some knowledge about zombies.
In the darkness, He Lou quickly reviewed the messages one by one, and his eyes suddenly fixed.
Then he started searching for information like crazy.
"…If a zombie has been dormant for many years, it will need fresh blood and flesh to wake up…"
Dormant for many years... Yes, his searches these days showed that he had never seen any news of zombies wreaking havoc before, nor had the relevant departments taken action to suppress it - he had browsed through many top-secret documents and had not found similar information in recent years.
Why did zombies appear on the subway as soon as they arrived? Was it because of their mission
The surveillance footage appeared on the computer screen, which was the subway station they arrived at that night. He Lou operated the keyboard with both hands and immediately tuned to the corresponding station, zoomed in, and focused.
He adjusted the speed, and the picture changed rapidly... Then, he found Lu Yanli. Before entering the station, he took out something white from his bag, dropped it on the ground, and then kicked it onto the billboard opposite.
The strange thing is that although there are not many people late at night, it does not mean that there are no passengers. His actions did not attract the attention of others. After the kick hit the billboard, the object that should have bounced out due to the reaction force did not fall out, as if it was sucked into the billboard.
He Lou calmed down at this moment. He captured the picture and enlarged it to take a closer look. What Lu Yanli threw on the ground was actually a pale hand.
The surveillance was one-way, so he had no way of seeing the billboard on the opposite side clearly. But He Lou could already imagine that the person on the billboard on the opposite side must be Lan Zhiyu!
A chill surged into his heart, and then spread throughout his body. Perhaps He Lou himself did not realize that he was trembling all over, not knowing whether it was out of anger or fear, or perhaps both.
He Lou never thought that it was Lu Yanli who woke it up.
Why? Why would he do this?!
Did he know something
Why can he still pretend to be so innocent and live in peace with them? !
Even if their mission this time might be related to zombies, what good would it be if he got himself involved
A trace of blood came out of his mouth, and He Lou came to his senses, only to find that he had bitten his lip without realizing it. He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down, so as not to rush to the next room and kill the other person with a knife.
Since Lu Yanli awakened the zombies, what else did he do
Zombies... By the way, the day Huang Wei almost turned into a zombie, he woke up at noon the next day to find that they had disappeared. Lu Yanli was clearly sleeping in the living room. Did he really know nothing
