Li Fangzhi was a little worried: "Are we really going to go there?"

He Lou nodded affirmatively.

"What if..." Li Fangzhi hesitated to speak.

"There is no such thing as a miracle. Even if there is, we must go and take a look." He Lou said firmly. He smiled and said, "Besides, I have invited some helpers. They will probably be here soon."

helper

Now Lu Yanli's gaze also turned over and his eyebrows raised slightly.

What help did He Lou find

Maybe because he had discovered everything and was planning to go all out, He Lou had regained his calmness as when they first met, and he told him the origins of those helpers.

It turned out that He Lou contacted a group of Taoists who claimed to be Taoists on that mysterious website. The one who set up the seal formation was their ancestor, who was said to be surnamed Lin and whose Taoist name was unknown. The only thing they knew was that they needed to fulfill the ancestor's will and completely eliminate Lan Zhiyu, who might turn into a flying zombie.

He Lou finally understood that his mission was to live in the apartment for a full week, but was this actually the deadline? If they didn't find the secret hidden in the apartment and didn't help seal the "zombies", then within a week, they would all become blood and flesh sacrifices needed to awaken the zombies!

After hearing about the helper, Lu Yanli did not show the fear that He Lou had imagined. Instead, He Lou looked at him in surprise and thought: This guy has a really strong psychological quality. He obviously cannot escape after the zombies awaken, so why does he do this

Are there really people in the world who harm others without benefiting themselves

Lu Yanli was calm and composed, completely ignoring the probing look in He Lou's eyes. Just like the past few days, he was friendly but also a little cowardly and stupid: "Have helpers? That's great. I guess I should buy some more food to entertain them."

No one was interested in what vegetables he bought, so they just let him do what he wanted. He went to the supermarket in the afternoon and came back.

The next morning, four figures lined up in a neat row and walked on the road to the community.

"Brother Lin, are we really going?" The person asking the question was the last one walking. She had fine lines around her eyes and looked old. The man in the lead, whom she called Brother Lin, looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked like a handsome young man, but his eyes revealed his age.

"There is no way." The leading young man said in a low voice, "Junior Sister Li, our ancestor set up a seal to ensure that the zombie's power could be consumed. After a hundred years, it will turn into dust, but recently someone is trying to awaken it..."

There were four people in the group, but only two of them were talking. The two in the middle were wrapped in wide black robes from head to toe. If someone looked closely, they would be surprised to find that the two black figures did not walk like ordinary people, but moved forward lightly and in small jumps. Their bodies were also stiff and did not look like living people.

The distance between the four people is as precise as if measured with a ruler, always maintaining a fixed length, neither far nor near.

"Senior Brother Lin, are you sure what that person said is true?" Junior Sister Li asked again.

"As long as I can seal it, what does it matter whether it's true or false?" sighed the young man whom she called Senior Brother Lin.

"Brother, are you sure?"

This time, the leading young man remained silent for a long time.

"No." He said lightly.

“Perhaps, we will all die here.”

At this time, they just arrived at the gate of the community. The boy looked up at several tall buildings with a heavy look in his eyes.

Hearing this, Junior Sister Li also fell silent. After a long while, she forced herself to speak: "This is our fate."

"They said they have already entered the community." He Lou looked at Lu Yanli with a smile, "Can you please pick them up?"

Lu Yanli smiled softly and looked directly at He Lou: "Okay."

Now He Lou didn't know what he wanted to do.

If he wants to live, he is able to do what he did to wake up Lan Zhiyu in the subway station. If he wants to take everyone to die together, he has done whatever he was asked to do these days without any complaints. Now that the Taoist priest he invited has come, he also looks happy.

Lu Yanli's smile was very different from usual, and it made Li Fangzhi's hair stand on end. She looked at Lu Yanli warily. However, the latter looked innocent and smiled at them: "What's wrong?"

After that, he tapped the table with his fingertips: "I won't disturb you from discussing things. Now, I'll go down to greet them."

After he left, Li Fangzhi immediately turned her head and asked silently with her eyes.

He Lou's face was solemn: "It was my negligence. We all underestimated him." After that, he told Li Fangzhi all the information he had found.

Li Fangwan sat aside, her expression changing.

Although she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Lu Yanli, she was also deceived by the fact that he deliberately showed something wrong.

She never imagined that it was Lu Yanli who awakened the zombies from the very beginning.

"So... it was him all along." Li Fangzhi murmured. She was suddenly startled. "What about the camera he put there?"

"Since he is willing to pretend, let him go and get it back. Wait for the Taoists to arrive and let them check it." He Lou said in a cold tone.

Speaking of cameras, something flashed through his mind, and then he slammed his fist on the table.

At first he asked Lu Yanli if there were any cameras in his home, but the other party denied it too quickly, and he shouldn't have changed his attitude so suddenly. Now thinking about it... this is obviously abnormal.

Li Fangzhi saw He Lou suddenly stand up and walk into the room. He looked around, then moved a stool and stepped on it, and took something out from the air conditioner logo.

It was a miniature camera, and it was still flashing red before it was removed, so it was obviously working.

The fist holding the camera slowly clenched, almost crushing its small parts. He Lou took a deep breath, jumped off the stool, and showed the camera in his hand to Li Fangzhi.

"You'd better check your room too."

Li Fangzhi disappeared quickly, and after a while, she walked out of her room with the same grim expression, and spread out her palm, with an identical miniature camera in her palm.

“Boom boom boom.”

There were three knocks on the door, and then the door opened with a click.

Lu Yanli walked in with four figures. He curiously asked the two people sitting on the sofa: "Have you discussed it?"

He Lou smiled and said, "We've discussed it."

"That's good. I was worried about disturbing you, so I'll introduce you now." Lu Yanli is always very polite and courteous to strangers.

"This is He Lou, and this is Li Fangzhi." Lu Yanli introduced them one by one, "These are two masters."

The leading young man was dressed in modern clothes, but with long hair tied up and a peach wood sword on his back. His eyes were as solemn as those of a man in his twilight years. He nodded slightly and said, "I don't dare to be the master, but I will do my best."

“As for these two…” Faced with the two figures in black robes, Lu Yanli was in a dilemma.

Master Lin said, "These are the two people I invited from our ancestors. I hope they can help."

After saying that, Junior Sister Li raised her hand and opened two black robes, revealing two pale faces with Taoist talismans with yellow background and red patterns.

What is even more eye-catching is the attire of the two zombies: red pointed round hats, indigo jackets and long robes, with long braids behind their heads. They are dressed like officials of the Qing Dynasty!

He Lou's eyelids twitched.

It's really scary to see something like this, which I have only seen in movies, appear before my eyes.

“This, this is…” Lu Yanli was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Yes, they are the two flying zombies left by our great master." Speaking of the great master, Master Lin's eyes were filled with pride. "It may be a little difficult to deal with Lan Zhiyu, but to deal with the one upstairs..." He pointed with his finger, "One is enough."

He Lou said, "It's better to be safe than sorry." His heart was bleeding as he said this.

"Master Lin, we put a camera up there yesterday, so we'd better learn more about it." After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Yanli, "Now, could you please go to the fourth floor and take down the camera?"

Lu Yanli was a little embarrassed. For the first time, he politely declined the question: "It's noon now, and several masters have come from far away. Why don't you sit down and eat first? I'll go after you finish eating."

He Lou found it hard to believe him. He always felt that he was going to take advantage of the opportunity to do something again. However, he ate and lived with Lu Yanli, and it was unreasonable for him to force the host to go up to the house even without eating in front of the "master". So he had to agree.

Lu Yanli went to the kitchen to cook very consciously. Li Fangzhi noticed He Lou's look and followed him to guard the kitchen door to prevent the other party from giving him any more drugs. She stood by the door and listened to the conversation coming from the living room.

What they didn't know was the scene outside the door.

Almost all the residents' doors were knocked at the same time.

"Boom boom, boom boom..."

"Who is it?" Someone in every household complained, and then got up to look at the peephole.

"Who is it?"

"I don't know. It looks red in the cat's eyes."

"Then don't open it."

However, the knocking continued, and the noise became louder and louder, until it was like someone was hitting the door with a hammer, almost breaking it open.

"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"

"Hurry up and leave! Stop knocking! Or I'll call the police!"

"Go away! I'm calling the police!"

"The door was knocked open..."

"What is that? Help..."

“Ahh—”

The noise did not reach Room 304 at all. At this moment, inside Room 304, several people were chatting happily and waiting for the meal to be served.

What they don't know is that the entire apartment has become a living hell.

There was some monster eating with them.
