Chapter 2535 - 1146: Old White Hasn’t Even Used His Strength, Yet the Monster Has Already Fallen! (Part 2)
Lin Baici smiled towards Ji Xinyan, pulled Tea Sister’s hand off his arm, and walked down the steps.
Though Lin Baici disliked Liu Yu, he wasn’t petty enough to go as far as killing him, but helping Liu Yu was out of the question.
He can fend for himself!
Hua Yue Yu and Ji Xinyan hurried to catch up.
"Hurry up, don’t fall behind!"
Fang Mingyuan warned the classmates.
"Did they find an exit?"
"Don’t push!"
"Hurry up!"
Even though the zombies were no longer attacking, no one wanted to stay a second longer in this damned place, and they were worried about losing sight of Lin Baici, so everyone was pushing forward.
"Why are you pushing? Our class president found it, we have the right to enter first!"
Zhou Zhou, uncomfortable from being pushed, shouted angrily.
Unexpectedly, these words had some effect.
Zhou Zhou felt relieved.
Actually, everyone understood that among this group, hierarchies had already formed.
Lin Baici and his friends were unquestionably first, followed by Lin Baici’s classmates, and then everyone else.
They feared if they offended Lin Baici’s classmates, they were likely to be used as cannon fodder.
Thus, they had to be cautious!
...
The further they walked down, the darker it got. Lin Baici counted roughly a hundred steps, and it was as dark as a winter twilight.
Lin Baici took out the Pine Wood Torch, striking it against the wall like a match.
Woosh!
The Pine Wood Torch ignited!
The sudden brightness made those following him instinctively close their eyes.
"Don’t get too close to me!"
Lin Baici warned before lighting the Ghostly Oil Lamp and handing it to Hua Yue Yu.
"What’s up?"
Xu Daguan wasn’t one for ladies first and directly bypassed Bai Jiao and others, sticking close to Hua Yue Yu and Ji Xinyan.
To him, being near these two girls was the safest.
Knowing Lin Baici’s personality, even if he got hurt, he would protect these two girls.
"This torch causes a compulsion to embrace it, like moths to a flame!"
Lin Baici explained, "Moreover, once this torch ignites, even a spark can quickly burn you to ashes!"
"It’s inextinguishable!"
Lin Baici said this mainly for Ji Xinyan.
"Damn, that’s terrifying!"
Qian Jiahui was shocked.
"..."
Xu Daguan looked at the shabby torch, feeling Lin Baici was pulling their leg.
"Damn, still pushing?"
"Ah, someone stepped on my shoe!"
"Who the hell farted? It’s damn stinky!"
Noisy complaints and curses arose from the rear.
In this environment, everyone’s nerves were on edge; if it weren’t for the lurking monsters, there would have been fights already.
Lin Baici steadily moved forward, not arrogantly reckless nor overly cautious, just a bit faster than usual.
But this sped-up pace startled those behind him.
"Class president, aren’t you going too fast?"
Bai Jiao felt it was better to be cautious, "What if there’s a trap?"
Liu Yu wanted to curse about being in such a hurry to die but decided not to, especially since Lin Baici didn’t let him go in front; he suddenly realized Lin Baici might not be so bad after all. Cursing him now would be ungrateful.
He mainly worried about others reporting back to Lin Baici, which could be his undoing.
"Just pay attention to your surroundings, don’t get ambushed!"
Lin Baici had already activated the Divine Grace to summon a timid child spirit, which would scream at the slightest danger.
This ghost child would linger for six hours.
Once on the steps, Lin Baici summoned it, sending it ahead to scout.
They descended the spiral staircase, entering a long, dark tunnel, like a starless night.
Only weak light from Lin Baici’s torch ahead illuminated the path.
This prompted everyone to push forward.
No choice,
fear!
A quarter of an hour later, the tunnel ended, blocked by a security door in front of Lin Baici, plastered with ads and half-torn ’Blessing’ characters.
It resembled the kind of security door found in old neighborhoods with thirty to forty-year-old houses, exuding an aura of decay and ruin.
Lin Baici put his eye to the peephole and looked inside.
Seeing nothing, he grasped the handle and gave a hard pull!
Creak!
The sudden sound of the door opening frightened everyone.
Lin Baici didn’t expect this security door to be unlocked, easily pulled open.
...
In the cloud-covered forest, Old White’s group was desperately fleeing.
Swish!
From the black soil, a zombie hand suddenly emerged, grabbing a woman’s ankle, followed by a decaying head breaking through and biting her calf.
"Help!"
The woman screamed.
No one saved her; everyone bypassed her and continued to flee.
"Boss, it’s not working, the zombies are more and more!"
A young man with short hair looked anxious and panicked: "Seems we chose wrong!"
"Think of a way, these zombies are so fast!"
"Damn it, if this continues, we’ll be eaten!"
"How about going back?"
"How do we go back? There are zombies behind us!"
Everyone was anxious.
"Damn it!"
The boss cursed irritably.
His original intention was to stay far away, shake off those zombies, and then lie in wait quietly, waiting to see what happens to Lin Baici’s side.
If they could find an exit, he would go over.
But the boss miscalculated.
They simply couldn’t shake off those zombies; there were always zombies crawling out from the ground, hunting them down.
So they had no choice but to continue fleeing.
However, the more they ran, the zombies pursuing them became faster.
The boss guessed that the further away from that wooden house in the forest, the faster the zombies moved, until all the escapees were killed.
It seemed like entering the wooden house was the only way out.
That Lin Baici was right!
He shouldn’t have acted on his own accord.
But it’s too late to regret.
"Damn, this pollution is so fucking disgusting!"
The boss felt uncomfortable; in the wooden house searching for keys, surrounded by attacking zombies, how many could withstand such pressure?
If they couldn’t withstand it and ran away, their situation would be worse because more zombies would appear, and even if they regret Lin Baici, wanting to go back, they would have to pass through those zombies behind.
Even more difficult!
But the boss knew he had to make a choice.
"Go, back!"
The boss shouted.
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked; a few people turned to look at the chasing zombies, and they were scared to the point of numbness.
"Are you crazy? How can we go back?"
"Shouldn’t have come this way if we’d known!"
"Indeed, following that handsome guy was the right choice!"
Everyone regretted deeply, complaining with dirty mouths.
"If you want to survive, you have to go back!"
The boss was also a fierce person with courage, once he made a decision, he acted immediately.
"You’ve really screwed me over!"
The young man with short hair was depressed.
Just as the boss was about to run back, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Goddamn it!
Said the wrong thing!
If so many people run back, who will attract the monsters?
If my reasoning is correct, zombies are likely to attack tourists who are far from that wooden house first.
So the boss cursed: "Damn, stop talking nonsense, you’ve confused me. If you want to live, keep moving forward!"
"Everyone, push harder, run a bit further, there’ll be a turnaround for sure!"
The boss led the way, running fast, suddenly twisting his foot, kneeling on the ground.
"Ah!"
The boss screamed miserably.
Many people looked over, after all, the boss was considered the leader of everyone!
"What’s wrong?"
The young man with short hair asked anxiously.
"Damn, twisted my foot!"
The boss struggled to stand up, but after taking two steps, he inhaled sharply in pain and crouched down again.
"Can you still go?"
The young man with short hair inquired.
"Give me a hand!"
The boss instructed his lover.
The young woman who had been following him hurried over to help him.
"Hang on, the zombies are catching up!"
No one expected the boss was acting; seeing the fastest zombies chase within thirty meters, they were scared and accelerated their escape.
"Hurry up!"
The young man with short hair also ran ahead.
The young woman supported the boss to walk, constantly looking back, sweat all over her forehead in anxiety.
Should I leave him behind?
At this speed, they’ll definitely be caught and eaten by zombies.
"Are you thinking of leaving me behind?"
The boss asked sinisterly.
"No, no!"
The young woman quickly shook her head.
"If you want to live, listen to my command!"
The boss needed a few scapegoats, otherwise to run alone, if all zombies come for him, then he’s done.
