Chapter 980: A New Skill in Courting Death
Xu Shuhan was fast⊠but even so, they still couldnât shake off the Monsters trailing behind them⊠As the rustling sound grew closer, a black fog also gradually surged towards them, quickly reaching their backs. For a moment, she couldnât tell whether it was the Monsters chasing them or the black fog wanting to Devour themâŠ
âWhat should we do?â Xu Shuhan asked anxiously. Having exerted all her strength, she was beginning to feel a strong sense of crisis. Recalling the recent scream and the subsequent sight of a severed head being dragged away, she dared not think about what might be inside that black fog⊠At least, she didnât want to meet those Monsters under these circumstancesâŠ
At this point, the only one who could do anything was clearly Ling Mo⊠In fact, before she even spoke, Ling Mo had already taken action. His method of counterattack was quite violent⊠Besides the Pistol he had drawn, there were also Tentacles firing incessantly. While attacking behind him, Ling Mo also showed a very odd expression on his faceâŠ
âCan we find a corner?â Ling Mo suddenly asked.
Xu Shuhan was somewhat puzzled, but still replied: âOf courseâŠâ Most of this passage was straight, but there were corners here and there, and she remembered there was more than one such corner. But what did he mean by asking this? Was he thinking of using the terrain to gain some distance?
âAlright, letâs stop when we find a corner,â Ling Mo said.
âWhat?! Stop?â
Isnât this courting death! The speed of the black fog was already very fast! Even running at full speed felt insufficient, and yet he was suggesting they stopâŠ
Despite this, Xu Shuhan didnât raise any objections⊠Ling Mo wouldnât put them in danger. At least she was certain of that⊠It wasnât that Ling Moâs methods were always flawless. Rather, compared to her, Ling Mo cherished the chance to survive even more. It was entirely a feeling⊠but strangely, this very cautious man always did some quite bold things. And she, this fearless Zombie, ended up being the frightened one!
âLing Mo, thereâs one ahead!â Xu Shuhan suddenly shouted.
âCharge through!â Ling Mo commanded.
Xu Shuhan stared at the dark corner, clenching her teeth. The Monsters behind them were getting closer, and she could feel it distinctly. The black fog was less than five meters away⊠Once she stopped, the distance between them would instantly shrink to just a meter or two⊠And that distance was nothing for those Monsters⊠A second, no, perhaps only a tenth of a second, and they would be just like that âGiant God Warriorâ⊠decapitated, dead without a whole bodyâŠ
âCan I speed up? If I stop, will I be able to start again? What do I do? Should I stop? Or should I speed up and rush through? What should I do?!â
Xu Shuhanâs mind was still a mess, but her feet had already carried Ling Mo into that corner, less than two meters in diameter.
Almost the moment she stopped, the rustling sound suddenly closed in!
âLingâŠâ
Just as Xu Shuhan began to speak, her mouth was suddenly covered, and as her eyes widened, Ling Mo pulled her down and pressed her tightly into the corner.
âWhat are you doing!â
Xu Shuhan was stunned. She had not expected this turn of events at all! Now they werenât just failing to accelerate, they were literally waiting to die on the spot!
Almost while she was still in shock, the black fog had already swirled around them, quickly enveloping the twoâŠ
Time seemed to slow down immensely, and almost at the same instant her vision disappeared, Xu Shuhan could hear the rustling sounds all around. In that moment, she felt as if she was surrounded by countless giant centipedes, even feeling their legs crawling over her bodyâŠ
Almost instinctively, Xu Shuhan shiveredâŠ
âWeâre doomedâŠâ
However, just as she was about to be overwhelmed by fear, a warm sensation suddenly came from behind her. At the same time, she heard a sound other than the rustling⊠the âthump-thumpâ of a heartbeat, pressing against her back, so huge it seemed as if it were coming from inside her own bodyâŠ
âAh!â
Xu Shuhan suddenly snapped out of it, and just as she woke up, the rustling sounds seemed to have disappeared into the depths of the passageâŠ
âEh? Not dead? Why?â
It was eerily quiet all around, except for the lingering black fog, it seemed like nothing had happened⊠The long and terrifying experience felt like a dream, almost surreal⊠But the stiffness throughout her body clearly indicated that she had indeed narrowly escaped death⊠Those Monsters hidden in the black fog had crawled right past her⊠ⱀãêđ€BÎđ
âOkay, theyâve gone for now,â Ling Moâs voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Xu Shuhan shuddered, only then realizing that Ling Mo had let go of her, and her body was completely leaning against Ling Moâs chest, even her head resting against his chest⊠No wonder the heartbeat sounded so clear! How could it not at such close range!
âThat⊠IâŠâ Xu Shuhan quickly straightened up, but remembering the touch from just before, her legs went weak againâŠ
âAhâŠâ A groan from Ling Mo as they both bumped back against the wall again.
âSorry! I didnât mean toâŠâ Xu Shuhan scrambled off Ling Mo in a fluster, but then paused suddenly, and after two seconds, she suddenly turned around and lunged forward, grabbing Ling Mo by the collar and said, âLing Mo, you scared me to death! I really thought I was about to die just now!â
âThere was no time to explain,â Ling Mo said helplessly.
âAhâŠâ Just as Xu Shuhan was about to get angry, she paused again, thinking back, it seemed true⊠From the sudden variation to their hiding here⊠Although it felt quite long, it had actually only been about ten seconds in total. And although they had run a long distance, they hadnât returned to the concrete tunnel entrance they had come through⊠Indeed, there was no time.
âButâŠâ Xu Shuhan still wanted to say something, but after a few seconds of tension, she let go of Ling Mo, muttering softly, âScared to deathâŠâ
âSorry,â Ling Mo said at this moment.
âAh? Youâre actually apologizingâŠâ Xu Shuhan was taken aback.
âI shouldnât have let you take this riskâŠâ Before he could finish, Ling Mo felt a sudden pinch at his waist, wincing in pain, âWhat are you doingâŠâ
âLetting you talk nonsense!â Xu Shuhan turned her head away.
âI was apologizing!â
âYou⊠forget it, I wonât argue with you. What happened just now? You werenât just trying to creatively court death, were you?â Xu Shuhan said irritably, changing the topic.
Ling Mo, meanwhile, was rubbing his waist somewhat miserably, âOf course not⊠I only just confirmed this idea when I spoke up. Speaking of which, the answer can also be found on the Mobile Phone.â
With that, he took out the Mobile Phone.
The phone was also splattered with a few drops of blood, but the screen was still flickering as it recorded.
âGood, itâs not broken,â Ling Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then tapped a few times on the screen.
Xu Shuhan asked curiously, âAre we going to look at it now?â She was still worried about those Monsters, and being in this black fog, she didnât feel too good.
âDidnât you notice?â Ling Mo suddenly looked up.
âWhat?â
âIf you stay long enough, you can vaguely see some things. As long as itâs not where those Monsters are dense, the black fog isnât that thick,â Ling Mo shook the Mobile Phone, saying.
Xu Shuhan blinked, immediately staring intently at Ling Moâs face: âReally⊠I didnât notice.â
âItâs normal, you could already see a bit, so you wouldnât notice such a subtle change. We can see things now, which means those Monsters are still far from us, and we donât need to worry for now,â Ling Mo explained patiently.
âThat soâŠâ Xu Shuhan nodded, leaning in closer to peer at the screen, âThen letâs hurry and see, I only saw the black fog just now, didnât even get a clear look at those Monsters.â
âRightâŠâ Ling Mo opened the video, and as the screen shook, a blurry shadow began to slowly appearâŠ
