The Old Woman

After passing the front garden fountain, the nursing home building is just a short walk away, and luckily there are no stray cats or dogs on this path.

Taking the opportunity, Anna asked about something that had always been on her mind.

"So, Luo Di, the world you're connected to is [Hell]? The trigger should have been when we first participated in the simulation practice, right?"

No wonder you still kept the habit of clicking your tongue even after the practice ended; I would get agitated just hearing that sound for a while.

"I guess so, but my hell has nothing to do with that tongue. It's just that I developed the habit of clicking my tongue."

If I ever have the chance to encounter the tongue itself in the future, I wouldn't mind pulling it out along with the tongue and the pituitary gland connected to its tip.

"Are you still planning to eat different foods?"

"I'll try anything that can improve my strength and help me hunt more creatures related to the corner."

"Oh."

Luo Di's words basically revealed what he was pursuing, and Anna realized at that moment that she and Luo Di were completely different people.

Although she was born into a family that worshipped the flesh and was belligerent, she was always taught how to become stronger, how to counter Imposters, and how to survive in such a world.

Everything is based on the premise of survival.

Luo Di, on the other hand, was completely different. He was an incredibly pure person who only wanted to hunt down people in the shadows, and he didn't care if he died in the process.

The nursing home is without power.

Anna used brute force to pry open the automatic door in front of her.

The entire lobby was shrouded in darkness, with no light source whatsoever. The two people standing at the entrance could only see an area of no more than ten meters.

Click~ The two quickly took out a flashlight from their backpacks.

The true appearance of the hall was outlined by two beams of light.

Several older model Wheelchair were parked here.

The broken light bulb was suspended in mid-air by a few wires.

The glass at the service windows was either full of cracks or shattered.

The elevator directly opposite has been out of service for a long time, so the only way to go up is probably through the fire escape.

The only saving grace is that the nursing home still follows the "Corner Law" construction style, and there are no structures that can form Physical Corner.

Luo Di also bent down and picked up a flyer from the ground, which had the nursing home's slogan printed in Italy.

After quickly glancing through the flyers, a strange sound suddenly caught my ear.

Because the entire hall was very quiet, it was easy to pinpoint the source of the sound, which was coming from inside the service window.

Anna naturally heard it too, and it even sounded very familiar.

The sound seemed to pull the two back to the simulation a year ago, somewhat similar to the sound of zombies gnawing on offerings in the backyard.

The two exchanged a glance, turned off their flashlights, and quietly approached.

period,

Luo Di's left arm also began to wrap with sharp barbed wire, and the power of the torture chamber was activated.

Hiss~ As a burst of heat dissipated, a standard-sized animal trap was already in hand.

He naturally bent down as he approached the counter window, without making a sound.

The two first went to the counter where they were handling their business and looked inside through the glass window.

Inside, there was only a desk piled high with various materials and desktop computers; nothing unusual was visible.

However, there is a door inside the counter that corresponds to the "shift change room," and the faint sound seems to be coming from there.

Using a broken window, the two climbed over and gradually approached the changing room, one after the other.

The door lock had been broken; it slid open with a gentle push.

The door hinges remained silent, without making a sound.

The changing room was completely dark, with no light or windows, and nothing could be seen.

To see clearly, a flashlight is the only option.

Point the off flashlight at the source of the sound and slowly push the switch on the flashlight body with your finger.

Click!

A column of light rays was emitted.

An "old woman" was photographed.

Only a few long white hairs hung on her head.

Although most of its body was emaciated, its abdomen had multiple layers of wrinkled skin and was noticeably swollen, somewhat similar to the stray cats and dogs encountered before.

Her body was completely sprawled on the ground, "devouring" the carcass of a stray dog.

A closer look reveals that it is not gnawing, but sucking.

The person placed their face 3cm away from the wild dog's carcass, and several small red tubes grew out of its eyes, nose, and mouth.

insert,

suck,

The stray dog, which was over a meter long, was already shriveled up.

Perhaps it was after eating,

Perhaps it smelled a completely different scent.

The old woman gradually stopped eating, and the small red tubes were retracted into her body.

Click, click, click~ The stiff head slowly turned, looking at the two people at the door.

Drooping, multi-layered eyelids

It lacks eyeballs and teeth; instead, it has small red tubes inside for feeding.

Sensing the scent of fresh food, the old man's body began to convulse.

It twisted its body in a strange way, then suddenly stood upright.

He began to run by rapidly alternating his feet.

But the old woman's arm did not move at all.

This pattern of behavior is very similar to that of zombies in movies.

Luo Di and Anna did not choose to fight here. Instead, they turned around and retreated, using one hand to push themselves across the counter and stepping back into the open hall area, which was suitable for fighting.

The old woman who followed her also jumped over the counter.

Continue chasing at a rapid, zombie-like pace.

Just as she was about to catch up with the two fresh, living targets, her foot suddenly stepped on a hot metal trigger... Click!

Like the sharp teeth of a ferocious beast, the animal trap pierced her right leg instantly, immobilizing it completely.

Because of the excessive speed of the sprint, the old woman's body fell heavily forward, breaking her nose and leaving her face covered in blood.

The man's entire right leg was caught in a trap, with the wire embedded deep between his skin and flesh.

The pain, which was beyond comprehension, made her scream in agony.

But before she could utter a sound,

A rapidly spinning Zombie Blade flew straight at them.

Whoosh!

The sharp blade sliced through the skull and embedded itself deeply, reaching the hypothalamus. If the victim were Pseudo-Human, they would already be dead.

Making too much noise might attract trouble; a decisive kill is the best option.

Anna, who was about to make a move, was somewhat helpless. She had wanted to show off her skills, but Luo Di's killing efficiency was just too high.

Seeing that the old woman had stopped moving and that the trap was still in effect,

Luo Di walked straight forward, intending to remove the Zombie Blade embedded in the other person's head.

When the distance is less than two meters

Clang!

The animal trap that was clamping my right leg suddenly jerked.

The old woman actually started moving, almost like an activity after death.

Between the split skull, a large number of red tubes surged wildly, undeterred by the corrosive effects of the corpse poison.

Hiss~

The old woman tore off her right leg with brute force, thus freeing herself from the animal trap.

With tremendous force bursting forth from his hands, he propped himself up and lunged at the young man before him... The red veins swaying in the air seemed desperate to suck the other man dry.

Luo Di's back was already slightly bulging, and bursts of heat were emanating from it.

Just then,

A powerful voice came from behind.

"Luo Di, get out of the way!"

Luo Di immediately canceled the switch to the Hell Stance and turned his body away.

An axe of unusual length came cleaving from behind, or rather, it was 'swung' at.

The axe handle, made of flesh and blood, was more than twice as long, and its structure softened, allowing it to be swung out like a whip.

Boom!

The concrete floor was smashed open, creating a vertical crack more than a meter long.

The Zombie Blade stuck between the old woman's heads was ejected due to the enormous impact.

As for the old woman who was hit head-on by the axe, she was instantly split in two, with strange red tubes scattered everywhere, and she died completely.

Considering the possibility of aging gases inside the body, the two quickly retreated to a distance of ten meters.

Anna's axe gradually shortened during this process, returning to its normal length. She even struck a standard bodybuilding pose, seemingly showing off her strength and the hard-won opportunity to perform.

After Luo Di retrieved his Zombie Blade, he carefully examined Anna's body.

The force of that chop was far beyond my imagination; in terms of "strength," it was far greater than what I would normally experience... It was not like a normal person at all.

If Anna were male, Luo Di might have already touched her.

"Your body..."

Hearing these slightly complimentary words, Anna quickly explained, "Oh? It seems that people in my family have a special physical talent; they eat several times more meat than ordinary people every day."

In Luo Di's view, such physique and strength might not be as simple as just eating and talent.

After the gray gas in the old man's body dissipated,

The two leaned closer again.

The excessive force not only cleaved the mutated old man completely in two, but also nearly destroyed his body structure. However, considering the driver's previous resurrection, Luo Di still decided to take further action.

"I brought this from the Jupiter City Investigation Bureau. It's a new type of scientific research product, specifically designed to deal with these potentially resurrected flesh-and-blood creatures."

Anna took out an exquisite matchbox with the Research Bureau's symbol from her backpack. The matches were made of some kind of flammable metal.

After striking it, gently toss it aside.

Blue flames immediately spread across the surface of the corpse, burning it completely in a short time, leaving not a single trace.
