Chapter 11

There are still four days, calm down… there are still four days.

This is just the beginning.

After the excitement, a thick sense of anxiety once again clouded He Lou’s heart.

Can they really survive?

Generally speaking, the difficulty of the initial stages of a task is lower. At least there will be some constraints on the ghosts, preventing them from killing people at will. That’s why they dared to sleep peacefully. But as they progress further, especially after they have made some progress, the constraints on the ghosts will gradually loosen. At that time, they may really be like in horror movies, seeing ghosts while eating and drinking, and every move could lead to death.

Time passed bit by bit. The fifth floor was quiet and enveloped in darkness.

In order not to startle the snake, they did not make a sound. The voice-activated lights did not turn on. The not-so-long corridor was now empty and silent, pitch black. Only the faint sound of their breathing could be heard.

Strange, when they saw the building during the day, there were many residents. Why is it so… eerily quiet at night? Not a single household made a sound. Are they all resting so early?

A thin layer of sweat oozed from He Lou’s forehead.

This dark space seemed to become sealed, and a cold aura enveloped everyone. The aura became thicker and thicker, gradually making it almost impossible to breathe.

What is it?

A “bang, bang” sound suddenly rang out. He Lou shuddered, but it was precisely because of the sudden sound that the voice-activated lights turned on, and the entire building instantly lit up.

He Lou identified it for a while. It did indeed sound like the sound was coming from a floor away.

So, it really is on the fourth floor—that extra fourth floor?

Another day has passed.

Presumably, the constraints on the ghosts have loosened a little more.

…

First floor.

“I really can’t stand it anymore. It’s noisy every day. The child still has to go to school.”

“Ah, don’t mention it. Even the police can’t do anything about him, what can we do?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll go, can’t I?”

The two of them entered the elevator in their pajamas. After pressing the elevator button, the car door slowly closed.

“Is the air conditioning too high? Honey, do you feel a little cold?”

“A little bit, it’ll be fine when we get out.”

“Why is it so slow? Does it take so long to get to the fourth floor? Is it broken?”

“I’ll talk to the property management tomorrow.”

“…”

“Honey? Honey?”

“Y-you, who are you? Honey? Honey?!”

“Help—”

“Ahhhhh!”

After a scream, a scalp-numbing tearing sound rang out.

Fourth floor, arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator door opened, and a large mass of fresh minced meat was quietly placed in the center of the elevator, interspersed with red and white, just like the raw meat dumpling filling bought from the market.

Strangely, in the next second, it was gradually pressed into a flat shape by some invisible pressure, like a piece of paper, and lightly sucked into the crack of a certain door.

…

First floor, 101.

He ate the dumplings with satisfaction.

That damn bald head in 405!

“Is it delicious?” In the dark room, the young woman’s voice sounded.

The wife’s voice seemed a bit cold. No, not just her voice, she was exuding a cold aura, seeping into his whole body along the stiff skin his hand touched.

“You…” The man froze in place.

…

For some reason, today’s sound was louder and lasted longer than usual, as if… it had new ingredients.

He Lou noted this anomaly. In the darkness, he glanced again in Lu Yanli’s direction. The other party seemed to sense his gaze, turned his head and smiled at him, with a hint of reassurance.

He Lou didn’t feel any comfort at all. A large stone was pressing on his heart, heavy and burdensome.

A way out, what exactly is the way out?

The strange station, the female celebrity raising zombies, the extra fourth floor, the strange neighbor, the sound of chopping meat in the middle of the night, and the ocean park named after the female celebrity that the neighbor often goes to…

Everything seems unrelated, but He Lou always felt that he had overlooked something, and the thing he had overlooked was the clue that could connect everything.

Also, what role does Lu Yanli play in all of this? Why has he been safe and sound until now?

Even though Lu Yanli continued to act weak and foolish as always, he no longer dared to underestimate him.

Huang Wei and Feng Chuchu were both dead, so the rooms were 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, his eyes flickering. After seeing the light dim in the crack of the other party’s door, he returned to his room.

Seeming to see that he didn’t know much about zombies, many people kindly told him some knowledge about zombies.

In the darkness, He Lou quickly reviewed each message, his eyes suddenly fixed.

Then, he started searching for information like crazy.

“…If zombies are dormant for many years, they need fresh flesh and blood to be awakened…”

Why did zombies suddenly appear on the subway as soon as they arrived? Is it because of their mission?

The computer screen showed a surveillance video, which was the subway station on the night they arrived. He Lou operated the keyboard with both hands, immediately switched to the corresponding station, zoomed in, and focused.

He adjusted the speed, and the picture changed rapidly… Then, he found Lu Yanli’s figure. Before entering the station, he first took out something white from his bag and dropped it on the ground, and then kicked it to the advertisement board across the way.

Strangely, although there were not many people late at night, it didn’t mean there wasn’t a single passenger. What he did didn’t attract the attention of others. After being kicked to the advertisement board, the thing, which should have bounced out due to reaction force, didn’t fall out either, as if it had been sucked into the advertisement board.

The surveillance was one-way, and he couldn’t see the appearance of the advertisement board on the opposite side clearly. But He Lou could already imagine that the advertisement board on the opposite side must be Lan Zhiyu!

A chill surged into his heart, and then spread throughout his body. Perhaps He Lou himself didn’t realize that he was trembling all over now, whether it was out of anger or fear, or perhaps both.

He Lou never expected that it was Lu Yanli who awakened it.

Why? Why did he do this?!

Did he know something?

Why can he still pretend to be so innocent and get along with them peacefully?!

Even if their mission this time might be related to zombies, he involved himself in it too, what good could it do?

Since Lu Yanli awakened the zombies, then what else did he do?
