1TWITF[C Chapter 14

Chapter 14

After lunch, Lu Yanli was, again, the one to wash the dishes.

He had been so hardworking and seemingly easy to bully these days, no wonder the others were easily misled.

Li Fangzhi stood guard at the kitchen door, staring at his busy back with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

The second hand ticked, one by one, reaching twelve o’clock noon.

Suddenly, everyone felt an inexplicable palpitation.

What was it?

What had happened?

At this moment, if they went out to check, they would surely be dumbfounded. Except for the door of room 304, almost all the doors of the apartments opened neatly at this moment. Pale, broken limbs scraped against the floor, creating a smooth creaking sound, moving neatly toward a certain door.

When the last limb disappeared into the crack of the door, the door slammed open with a “bang.”

An extremely terrifying aura spread out.

If anyone could observe this aura and look down from high in the sky, they would discover that it was rapidly extending toward Lan Zhiyu Ocean Park in the city center, and everyone it passed along the way felt a palpitation.

“Damn it, they’ve brought the plan forward.”

Lu Yanli asked with a bit of confusion, “What plan is being brought forward?”

Li Fangzhi could no longer stand this man’s pretense. She strode forward, ready to punch him in the face. She had practiced kung fu, and ordinary men simply couldn’t dodge her punches. But Lu Yanli lightly retreated, dodging the blow. He came behind He Lou, putting his arm around his neck as if they were good buddies.

Of course, he wasn’t that friendly.

His grip was particularly strong. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, He Lou was restrained and unable to break free for a moment. He could only futilely feel the other’s fingertips almost piercing the skin on his neck.

Li Fangzhi saw it more clearly. He wasn’t strangling He Lou to prevent him from breathing, but applying so much force with his fingertips that they almost sunk into the skin. If the force were a little greater and his nails a little sharper, Li Fangzhi suspected that he could directly poke several bloody holes in He Lou’s neck.

Li Fangzhi couldn’t help but say, “You’re a madman!”

Even if they would kill to survive, they wouldn’t be so unprincipled as to kill an NPC on sight. Compared to Lu Yanli, Li Fangzhi suddenly felt that she and the others could be considered kind.

Li Fangzhi wanted to argue a few words, but was stopped by He Lou’s gaze. He wasn’t agitated in the slightest, nor was he angry. Instead, he said calmly, “I apologize for our previous behavior. Now, can you tell us why you killed them, why you suddenly want to cooperate?”

The moment he saw Lan Zhiyu, he roughly understood that the people who came this time would also bring the zombies. Without knowing when those things would be awakened, he would rather take the initiative into his own hands.

After that, these people joined him. When he learned that these people couldn’t leave the apartment, he had already decided to eliminate a batch of “idiots” in advance. Otherwise, if they turned into zombies in the apartment, how would he deal with them?

Lu Yanli: “Alright.”

The sky grew darker, and dark clouds gathered, as the damp, cold wind rustled past.

He took out a brass bell from his sleeve and gently shook it.

Although it didn’t make a sound, everyone present seemed to hear a long, drawn-out bell sound. Where their eyes reached, two zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms slowly raised their hands, their arms stiff.

Another bell rang, and they took a step forward in unison.

“Let’s go.” With that, the young-looking but mature Master Lin took the lead, opening the door.

The others followed, but when they saw the scene in the hallway, they couldn’t help but be shocked for a moment.

Perhaps, all the residents of the building had already…

Thinking of this possibility, He Lou couldn’t help but feel a jump in his heart. He glanced again at Lu Yanli, whose face was calm and unwavering, as if nothing was in his eyes.

Even though these were neighbors who had lived together for so long.

He Lou suddenly felt a bit of a chill. If Lu Yanli killed them because he sensed their malice, what about these neighbors?

When they went to inquire, it was obvious that the neighborly relations in this building were quite good, so they must have been very nice to Lu Yanli usually.

Was he really that cold-blooded?

A group of people stopped on the fourth floor.

At this moment, the other three doors were open, with only one door closed.

He Lou looked at the closed door of 404 and said in a deep voice, “Master, this is it.”

Master Lin looked at the door of 404 and frowned, “Are you sure, it’s really here?”

Lu Yanli suddenly revealed a smile that feared nothing, shaking his head. “No, no, no, you’re all wrong.”

“404 in this building has always been uninhabited. The person who chops meat every night is Guan Yunlong from 405…”

With that, he reached out and grasped the doorknob of 404, pressed it down, and pulled it open.

Behind that door was a snow-white wall!

Probably due to years of disrepair, there were some cracks on the wall.

“The homophone for 404 has a very bad meaning. From the beginning, the developer didn’t intend to let anyone live in 404. This room is filled in.” Lu Yanli smiled very happily.

In He Lou’s mind, he suddenly recalled a sentence each that Huang Wei and Feng Chuchu had said.

“I didn’t see anything, just… a blank white.”

“…Why is it still red when you look through the peephole?”

What they saw in 404 before was just a wall.

It turned out that there had been flaws long ago.

He could have discovered them.

Looking again at the smiling Lu Yanli, He Lou didn’t even have any anger. A chill rose from his spine.

“What exactly do you want to do?” he couldn’t help but ask.

If the zombies were full, they wouldn’t target him.

He could live a little longer, persisting until the end.
