Liu Zhi held Liu Jiaojiao, hiding behind a medicine cabinet, muffling each other’s mouths, daring not to make a sound.
They didn’t know why they were setting up tents, and the next thing they knew, they had arrived in this bizarre place.
Originally, the bold Liu Zhi had prepared to go out and explore, to find a way to survive.
But after he had only walked a short distance, he saw a terrifying monster cutting up a corpse!
And those two corpses, he recognized them, they were the couple who had been secretly seeking pleasure earlier!
If it hadn’t been for luck, he would have met the same fate as those two.
So, he went back to find Liu Jiaojiao, and the two of them hid together behind a medicine cabinet, hoping that no monster could find them.
At this moment, they very much wished this was just a cruel dream, and that the nightmare would be over when dawn broke.
But they knew this was just wishful thinking; they had arrived in a place comparable to hell!
Suddenly, Liu Jiaojiao felt the ground tremble slightly, as if something massive was stealthily approaching them.
She looked at Liu Zhi, but Liu Zhi shook his head, signaling her to be quiet.
Their only hope of survival was to pray that the monster wouldn't discover them.
The heavy breathing gradually became clearer, and there was even the sound of saliva dripping onto the ground.
Through the gaps in the medicine cabinet, Liu Zhi saw a monster, covered in black fur and as large as a polar bear, circling at the entrance of the pharmacy.
It had a human face, but that face was split in half from the mouth, turning into a giant mouth with sharp teeth.
At this moment, the terrifying monster’s nose twitched slightly, and then, as if it had smelled something, its eyes stared fixedly at the medicine cabinet.
Then, as if it had confirmed something, a ferocious smile appeared on its terrifying face, and it walked towards the medicine cabinet!
Liu Zhi tightly hugged his sister, closed his eyes tightly, and waited for death to arrive.
The huge medicine cabinet was violently shoved aside, making a deafening noise. The giant monster let out strange howls, the terrifying sound lasting only a few seconds before falling into an eerie silence.
One second… two seconds…
The foul smell of blood assaulted their nostrils, nearly scaring them into a faint.
Neither of them dared to open their eyes, for fear that the moment they did, they would see a terrifying face in front of them.
But after a full half-minute passed with no movement, they finally opened their eyes.
Then, they both screamed.
In front of them stood a man with a ferocious grin, his small eyes straining open, bloodshot, with saliva dripping down the corner of his mouth.
Crimson, strange smoke appeared around him, constantly condensing into distorted, maniacal, eerie faces, which then dissolved back into smoke and disappeared.
And that terrifying monster was now pierced by several black chains, suspended in mid-air. The foul, bloody stench emanated from its body.
The source of those chains was on this man’s back.
Besides that monster, seven or eight other monsters were pierced by chains, floating behind him, occasionally twitching… they were not dead!
“Living people… are you living people?”
The man gesticulated excitedly, as if he had seen salvation, his eyes gleaming.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they might be safe.
But the man suddenly grabbed Liu Jiaojiao’s hair, lifting her entirely, with a greedy expression.
“There are no better collectibles than living people!” Su Dan Novel Network
…
Blazing flames turned the scattered limbs into charcoal.
Then Wen Wen stepped on an restless head and forcefully inserted a steel bar with black markings into it. The head finally ceased its movement.
“The fifth one… have all ordinary people turned into monsters after arriving here?”
After leaving Zhu Haiyang, Wen Wen first found Zhu Haiyang’s body, which was wearing a nurse’s uniform. After questioning him and finding out that he couldn’t get any information, he killed him directly.
After all, they had entered together. Wen Wen couldn’t save him, but at least he couldn’t let him turn into a monster and rampage here.
Afterward, he followed the scent and successively found the two college students, as well as the couple who had left the group for illicit pleasure.
The two college students had turned into zombie-like monsters, wandering around blindly and confusedly.
As for the couple, they had been dismembered, their corpses sprouting grotesque tentacles that flew through the air.
Fire abilities were very useful for dealing with these strange monsters; at least burning them meant they were gone for good.
“Only the brother and sister are left… but they are likely in dire straits too.”
The danger level here was comparable to the previous Jiu San Residential Area, with all sorts of monsters emerging continuously, making it very difficult for ordinary people to survive here.
Wen Wen’s mood was somewhat somber. Adults were one thing, but involving minors in such matters made him feel uncomfortable.
“Whether they are alive or dead, I’ll find them first.”
Taking a deep breath, locking onto the scent of the two, Wen Wen prepared to chase after them.
He had only run a few steps when he stopped, tilting his head to meticulously discern the scents in the air.
“Near them… there’s someone else, that scent… it’s somewhat like mine!”
“Did I stay here originally?”
“Then… between the people over there and the me here, which one is the real me?”
Wen Wen irritably ran his fingers through his hair. This situation, where nothing was under his control, made him inexplicably agitated.
“Be it a mule or a horse, I’ll know once I go and see!”
He continued in that direction and stopped at a hall.
Wen Wen wasn’t sure which floor this hall was on, because spatial perception was meaningless here. Wen Wen had always moved solely based on scent.
The walls, floor, and ceiling of the hall were all covered with incomprehensible murals, depicting scenes of various monsters fighting. In the center of the hall stood a twisted statue.
The statue was of a monster kneeling on the ground, its hands supporting a reddish-brown metal plate.
Wen Wen carefully examined the murals, discovering that the further away from the statue the murals were, the cruder their designs were, appearing weaker. The closer the murals were to the statue, the more detailed the depictions, and the more powerful they seemed.
“Is this… raising gu?”
Judging from the murals, countless monsters fought, eventually selecting one monster. As for what this monster was meant to do, Wen Wen had no idea.
This hall should contain a lot of information. Wen Wen didn’t want to miss it. After carefully inspecting it, he easily jumped onto the head of the colossal statue and saw the contents of the metal plate.
The metal plate had a line of text, but Wen Wen couldn’t recognize this script at all.
He had seen it in some association literature; this was the script from the inner world. Most monsters only understood fragments of it.
Its specific meaning was classified by the association, but strangely, Wen Wen knew the meaning of that line of text and also knew how to read it.
So, without much thought, he opened his mouth and recited:
“With this place illuminated by the red moon, we offer to the great silent void…”
