Chapter 116

“It’s been sent to the entire city. For now, the meteor shower’s coverage is only within this city.” Lu Yanli pressed the last key and stretched his fingers.

Lin Chu was still recording.

“Too weird…” she murmured.

As soon as they arrived, these strange things followed. Could it be… that their world would also have this?

The people on the street had already descended into madness – anyone who saw the flesh on their body rapidly rotting and falling off piece by piece would go crazy. Most people realized the source of the problem and desperately fled, trying to hide in the shops along the street. This caused conflicts with the people who were originally hiding in the shops, and the two sides began to fight.

Some shops closed their doors early and were targeted by those people who frantically slammed on the doors trying to break in. Their shop was no exception, and the sound of banging on the door could be heard.

The outermost layer was a rolling shutter door, and the inner layer was a glass door. Lu Yanli moved a heavy cabinet to the door and pushed a lot of shelves in front of it.

The shelves and the wooden cabinet rattled loudly. Lu Yanli didn’t care. After confirming that it couldn’t be opened for the time being, he returned to the computer, hacked into the surveillance system, and prepared an escape route.

“How about getting a car?” Lin Chu quickly made notes while suggesting.

Once a bottom line is broken, there will be no more awe afterward. What’s more, Lu Yanli wasn’t a law-abiding person either.

“These things will exist for at least three days, or even longer,” Lu Yanli said. “We’ll go out after this batch of people dies.”

The lives of the entire city couldn’t even cause a ripple in his heart.

But… what did it have to do with her?

Lin Chu walked to the window and glanced again.

The flesh of many people had almost fallen off, revealing mutated skeletons and internal organs. Thin, long fungi exuding a green fluorescent color emerged from their pores and grew wantonly. Their cries could be heard even through the thick glass.

A person crashed up, looked not very old, and dragged two rows of green palm prints on the glass window.

It seemed… something was wrong.

In order not to be discovered by the outside world, they didn’t turn on the lights. In the darkness, Lu Yanli vigilantly looked at the rows of shelves and the door with increasingly weak collisions.

There was nothing unusual.

What was the problem?

His gaze swept across a door and then his eyes froze.

He had just dragged the boss into this room and locked the door. Now… the door was actually open a crack.

Who opened that door?

A chill enveloped his heart. He stared at the door, and his heart suddenly beat faster. Lu Yanli stood up and slowly walked towards the door.

This store also had a back door.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Chu noticed the abnormality. She also tensed up and slowly walked over.

*

She wasn’t exactly timid, but she was still startled by the pictures. How could such things grow on the human body? And some “people” had no flesh on the surface of their bodies, revealing internal organs mixed with fluorescent green and scarlet, which was really disgusting.

“I don’t know who’s playing a prank. Seriously, having this technology to scare people!” Zhang Wenna was indignant. She had already closed those pictures, but the tragic state of those people in the pictures still lingered in her mind. She shivered and hugged her boyfriend’s arm even tighter. “It scared me to death. Let’s go drink milk tea, Ahe?”

Her boyfriend, Ahe, was playing a game and nodded indifferently. So, Zhang Wenna pulled Ahe towards the milk tea shop.

The weather was very strange today. The sky was completely dark, with no moon or stars visible. Zhang Wenna walked on the street with her boyfriend and found that the number of people was gradually decreasing. Only the cold neon lights on both sides of the street were still working dutifully.

Too strange, right? Isn’t everyone going out to play on the weekend?

Zhang Wenna was puzzled, but she couldn’t figure out the reason. Fortunately, her favorite milk tea shop was still open. She hurried in, scanned the QR code to order, and then sat in the small isolated booth with curtains drawn.

Ahe was at the final stage of the game. Zhang Wenna glanced at his phone and then opened her own phone to watch short videos indifferently. Soon, she was amused.

“Hello, what would you like to order?”

The waiter was busy making milk tea. Seeing that the girl had been standing there for a long time without saying anything, she had to turn around and come to the counter and ask, “Here’s the menu. New customers can also scan the official account to order, and there are discounts.”

She looked very thin, with long bangs covering her forehead. The posture of lowering her head made it impossible for the clerk to see her face.

“Hello? Miss?”

This girl, should…

This girl… actuallypā = lying prone, slumped on the counter. The counter wasn’t high, and her body was arched in a very strange way to an angle close to 120 degrees, with her head resting on the counter surface. The hair on her forehead was very long, completely covering her eyes, but the clerk could sense that she was looking at her.

“…Hello?” The clerk swallowed and asked cautiously again.

The girl didn’t speak, just looked at her.

Too weird… After I deliver this order, I’ll get off work immediately!

Behind her, there was still a gaze like a maggot on a bone. That girl… that girl was still looking at her!

If she could turn her head to look at that girl, she would find that the girl didn’t turn her head at all, only a pair of eyeballs, slowly moving to the right with the direction the clerk was walking, almost popping out of their sockets.

As she went upstairs, those eyeballs rolled straight up.

“Hello, your milk tea is ready.”

Hearing the clerk’s voice outside the curtain, Zhang Wenna casually said, “Thank you, put it in.”

She was still watching videos. Suddenly, a feeling of palpitation came, and this sudden fear made her subconsciously turn her head to look.

A hand was placed on the curtain, and then it was pulled open!

“Ahhh—”

“What are you yelling about? Nana, you’re making a fuss over nothing.” Her boyfriend, Ahe, didn’t care at all, raised his head and glanced lazily, took a drink from the head of the tray, and placed it in front of Zhang Wenna. “You were the one who said you wanted to drink milk tea, can you be quiet?”

The drink that was still emitting cold air was placed in front of her. Zhang Wenna ordered her favorite strawberry smoothie, but now, she looked at the red liquid in the cup seeping out winding traces in the smoothie, and always felt that it was clearly fresh blood.

The red liquid stuck to his lips, scarlet, sticky.

Zhang Wenna was about to go crazy, she couldn’t believe that her boyfriend didn’t react at all. Could it be that only she could see ghosts?

The head in the tray smiled at her. Zhang Wenna trembled all over and couldn’t escape at all. She desperately shook Ahe’s hand: “Let’s go quickly? Let’s go quickly! Okay?”

Tears had already covered Zhang Wenna’s face, shaking her head desperately: “No, let’s go quickly, please run quickly!”

She was afraid that the ghost would do something, but until she pulled Ahe away, the head in the tray was still neatly placed on it, without any extra movement.

Something was stuck in her throat. Zhang Wenna retched a few times, even reached out to dig, but still couldn’t take out the thing stuck in her throat.

What exactly was it?

The foreign body sensation became stronger and stronger, Zhang Wenna could hardly bear it, she opened her mouth wider, stretched her hand deeper.

Still couldn’t take it out.

What’s going on? What is it?

Zhang Wenna was about to be tortured crazy by that feeling. She wanted to take out the thing that was blocking her throat, but she just couldn’t touch it. Her mouth was already opened to the maximum, but it was still useless, her fingers couldn’t reach it.

What exactly is it?!

Still can’t get it out, what to do?

Zhang Wenna was almost crazy. She took out a pair of scissors from her bag, opened her mouth without hesitation, cut hard at the corners of her mouth on both sides, and then tore them open fiercely. Then, she put her entire hand into her throat.

“Finally… got it out.” Her fingertips were kneading two eyeballs, just like the pearls in pearl milk tea, black, round, and still with blood.

Ahe saw that she had cut open the corners of her mouth, and just wanted to say a few words of concern, suddenly, he realized that a strange feeling also came from his throat.

He opened his mouth and only felt that the feeling coming from his body was getting more and more disgusting, and he couldn’t help but bend over and dry heave as well.

With a “wah” sound.

Countless black beetles poured out of his mouth, quickly crawling away on the ground.

All were flat beetles no bigger than fingertips, with shiny black shells and two red marks, pouring out of the man’s mouth, flowing all over the ground.

As for those black beetles, they also spread like shadows in the dark city. They could fly, and their speed was very fast. Before long, a residential building was completely covered with black insect shadows, and not a single ray of light leaked out.

*

In the room, there was no one.

The man who had been tied up and fainted on the ground was gone.

“He… This store can’t stay!” Lin Chu’s expression changed drastically when she saw the inside of the room. She walked to the back door without looking back, wrapping herself tightly as she walked.

Her hand was already on the door lock. Lu Yanli nodded. Lin Chu took a deep breath and pulled the door open, while quickly hiding aside.

All the fluorescent white bones piled up at the door fell into the door. Lu Yanli took a broom and pushed the pile of bones aside, and then the two walked out.

Fortunately, these things only eroded living things for the time being. Lu Yanli carefully avoided letting those things get on his eyes, and they quickly found a car and managed to get in.

Neither of them noticed that there was a manhole cover under the car, and that manhole cover was pushed open by a pale hand.

Then, that hand stretched out and firmly grabbed the bottom of the car.

Even in the car, the two were still tightly wrapped. There was no way, their clothes were already covered with those things, and rashly taking them off might touch them. Lu Yanli sat in the driver’s seat, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped towards the edge of the city.

The closer they got to the edge of the city, the more cars there were, and many people were also escaping. Without exception, everyone’s cars were stained with green fluorescent spots. No one dared to open the doors or windows, and the windshield wipers couldn’t wipe this thing clean. They could only barely see the road through this thing.
