Chapter 1108: Ten Seconds of Sudden Change
āAh!ā
In the darkness, a womanās scream suddenly rang out, echoing through the passage.
āItās Gu Shuangshuangā¦ theyāre up ahead!ā Mu Chenās pupils shrank as he cried out anxiously.
Everyoneās hearts immediately sankā¦ No one expected that what Ling Mo had worried about would happen so quicklyā¦
āThe other side came prepared, and we canāt guard against everything. Anyway, letās pick up the paceā¦ā Ling Mo said in a deep voice, his body suddenly lunging forward, as if pulled by an invisible rope from ahead. Although his steps didnāt seem to change, his position was rapidly moving forwardā¦
Xia Na and the others exchanged glances and tacitly sped up as well. These Female Zombies were already at the front of the group, and with a sudden burst of speed, they vanished silently into the darkness. Only Ling Moās field of vision matched theirs at this momentā¦ He was nervously observing the situation ahead through Ye Lianās rapidly shifting perspectiveā¦
But in this state of extreme acceleration, Ye Lian and the others couldnāt help but reveal the true color of their eyesā¦ Not only that, even their suppressed Zombie scent began to slowly leak outā¦ āHold onā¦ just ten seconds, only ten secondsā¦ā Ling Mo couldnāt help but silently chant in his heartā¦
āShhā¦ donātā¦ donāt speakā¦ itās comingā¦ā
In a corner of the passage, a pair of eyes was nervously and fearfully watching outside through a crack. After Skinny Monkey whispered this, he turned his head and pressed his ear to the gap, listening in terror to the sounds around himā¦
And what they were using as cover was none other than the corpse wall that Ling Mo and the others had dug throughā¦
Among several corpses, Gu Shuangshuang stood motionless, tightly covering her mouth and nose with her hand. Although it was pitch dark all around, from the strange sensations before and behind, and the rotting scent wafting nearby, Gu Shuangshuang could roughly imagine her current situationā¦ Normally, just glancing at these corpses a couple more times would make her shudder uncontrollably. But now, to survive, they had no choice but to hide hereā¦
Tapā¦ tapā¦
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded again.
āUgh!ā Gu Shuangshuang couldnāt help but shiver all over, hurriedly holding her breath. Her eyes stared ahead in panicā¦ The less she could see of her surroundings, the more terrified she feltā¦ And those footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closerā¦ Recalling the scene from just a moment ago, Gu Shuangshuang felt a chill run through her entire bodyā¦
āItāsā¦ behind meā¦ā
When the footsteps abruptly appeared behind her, Gu Shuangshuang instantly froze. She didnāt dare turn around, only staring at Skinny Monkeyās faceā¦ And from the look of horror in Skinny Monkeyās eyes, she already had her answerā¦
The footsteps suddenly stopped right behind her, then went quietā¦ She didnāt need to think to know that the owner of those footsteps was now pressed up against her back, silently staring at her hindbrainā¦ Gu Shuangshuang could even feel the otherās faint breath blowing on her neckā¦
Yet despite her extreme fear, the survival and combat instincts honed through repeated training and real battles surfaced in Gu Shuangshuangās mind. Almost instinctively, she switched off the Flashlight, and at the same time, a mental shock was suddenly hurled backward. Without looking back, she dashed forward: āAh! Run!ā
Skinny Monkey reacted quickly too; almost the instant the Flashlight was turned off, he had already changed direction, desperately running with Gu Shuangshuang for some distance.
But both of them knew their combat power was lacking, and their speed was clearly no match for the other side. So when they reached the corpse wall, Skinny Monkey and Gu Shuangshuang immediately hid insideā¦ Standing among the pile of corpses, they didnāt even dare to breatheā¦ āĪNā ĪŠš
āWhat Skinny Monkey just sawā¦ was it a person? But if it was a person, he shouldnāt have shown that expressionā¦ But no matter what, these corpses can block the line of sight and mask our scentā¦ But when we squeezed in, we must have moved some corpses. If it notices anything unnatural, thenā¦ No, it wonāt, it canāt possibly notice such tiny detailsā¦ā
Shuangshuang was desperately thinkingā¦ Although every day they knew they might face the threat of death, when this moment truly arrived, Gu Shuangshuang realized that she hadnāt stopped fearing death just because sheād faced so much danger before and the future was full of uncertaintyā¦ In fact, she was even more afraidā¦
āI donāt want to die yetā¦ I canāt die here like this!ā Gu Shuangshuang thought, silently praying in her heart, āDonāt find us, donāt let it find us!ā
Tapā¦ tapā¦
The footsteps were getting closer and closer to them. Even Skinny Monkey shrank his body further inside; compared to Gu Shuangshuang, he could definitely hear the change in distance more clearly. Although Skinny Monkey didnāt make a sound at this moment, Gu Shuangshuang still sensed itā¦ He had suddenly become even more terrifiedā¦
Tapā¦
The footsteps suddenly pausedā¦ Gu Shuangshuangās heartbeat shot up to her throat; now she was certain-the thing was right outside the wall! It was sizing up those corpsesā¦ Maybe, it would look through the corpses and discover them hiding behindā¦
Gu Shuangshuangās palm gripping the Flashlight was already drenched in Sweat. She stiffly moved her finger to the switch, waiting in high tensionā¦
āIf it could chase us so quickly, that means the psychic tremor just now didnāt have much effect on itā¦ But if I suddenly shine the Flashlight at it, or turn it on and throw it out, that should be enough to distract it for a moment. That way, we could escape a bit farther againā¦ā In this situation, Gu Shuangshuang actually felt her mind become even clearerā¦ āAnd that scream just now should be enough to alert the captain and the othersā¦ā
But as soon as she thought of this, Gu Shuangshuang couldnāt help but feel a bit desperate. Because she had no idea how deep this passage really was, nor how much longer they could hold onā¦
Tapā¦
Just as Gu Shuangshuang was about to make a move, the footsteps suddenly sounded again. And this time, they were actually getting farther awayā¦
Only after two or three seconds did Gu Shuangshuang finally relax her grip on the Flashlight in disbeliefā¦
She had held it so tightly that she felt her entire Arm begin to trembleā¦ And along with it, her whole body was shakingā¦ If not for the corpses all around, she probably would have collapsed right thenā¦
Skinny Monkey immediately let go of his mouth and nose, taking deep breaths, still shaken as he stared in the direction where the sound had disappeared. Then, he reached out and pushed aside a corpse in front of himā¦
āAlright, letās take this chance to hurry in the opposite direction. Otherwise, if it doubles back, weāll be caught for sure.ā Skinny Monkey spoke in a low voice as he squeezed his body out between two corpses.
āOkayā¦ Weāre really luckyā¦ It really didnāt find usā¦ā Gu Shuangshuang sighed in relief.
But just as she finished speaking, Skinny Monkey, halfway through crawling out, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, āHelp!āā¦
Butā¦ he was too lateā¦
By the time Gu Shuangshuang reacted and reached out to grab him, Skinny Monkey had already been dragged away by somethingā¦
āAh! Skinny Monkey!ā Gu Shuangshuang screamed in horror.
Only then did she realize that thing had been faking! It hadnāt gone far at all, but was watching in secretā¦ Since it didnāt attack directly, it meant it was still uncertain, and at a time like this, staying to observe for a while was undoubtedly the safest-and most sinister-moveā¦
And Gu Shuangshuang and the othersā eagerness to escape had played right into its handsā¦
Gu Shuangshuang, left in the pile of corpses, felt as if sheād fallen into an ice cave! Luckily, she quickly snapped back, gritted her teeth, and squeezed out through the gap, immediately switching on the Flashlight.
But when she swept the beam around, she discovered a terrifying factā¦
In that split second of shock, Skinny Monkey was already gone! Gu Shuangshuang hadnāt even seen what had dragged him awayā¦
āSkinā¦ Skinny Monkey?ā
Gu Shuangshuangās voice was tremblingā¦ First the Pilot died, now it was Skinny Monkeyās turnā¦ These were all veteran Survivors who had managed to last until now! At least in basic survival skills, they were all competent. Especially Skinny Monkey-he was a superhuman himselfā¦
But clearly, while humans struggled to adapt, these Monsters were evolving at a horrifying speedā¦ Surviving until now didnāt mean you could keep survivingā¦
āNoā¦ Skinny Monkey canāt dieā¦ If Iād been more careful just now, he wouldnāt have been takenā¦ā Gu Shuangshuang anxiously swept the Flashlight around, and suddenly spotted a scrap of cloth on the ground not far awayā¦
āThis is Skinny Monkeyās!ā
Skinny Monkey always wore pretty much the same outfit, so his clothes were easy to recognize by color and material.
āGood, thereās no bloodā¦ That means the thing didnāt intend to kill him right awayā¦ Right, if it had tried to ambush me earlier, it might have succeeded too, which means its goal isnāt to kill us directlyā¦ā
Gu Shuangshuang shone the beam on the scrap of cloth, confirming there was no blood on itā¦
