Encounter

This villa complex, designed as a death challenge, presents an endless space where the scenery remains almost identical no matter which way you go.

Weeds, flower beds, streetlights, identical villas, and a pitch-black night sky devoid of stars and moon.

The strangest thing is,

Despite the zombie theme of this challenge, there were very few zombies in the neighborhood.

Three hours later.

Luo Di and Yu Lu only encountered four zombies, only one of which had a key hanging from its waist. Their energy expenditure was just about right for the canned food.

This method of finding food is rather inefficient, especially considering that the two of them did not encounter any other contestants.

"Miss Yu Lu, perhaps we need to try a different approach..."

"Go knock on doors. If we're lucky, we might encounter monsters that are physically strong, large, or even capable of rapid regeneration. That might be enough to keep us going until the end of the game."

Although Luo Di was somewhat conflicted about whether monsters could be considered "human," if he were truly driven to the brink of despair, and the Hunger Virus was about to take over his brain, he would have no choice but to eat, since only by surviving could he have any hope.

Moreover, from a certain perspective, some monsters can no longer be classified as human, as they are no longer human in terms of either physiological structure or mindset.

Luo Di nodded. "If we encounter zombies on the road, we should kill them first and see if they drop any keys. As for the 'knock on the door' function, I'll do it. Miss Yu Lu, you can just stand by and be ready to help at any time."

Luo Di quickly devoured the canned meat he had just received, suppressing his hunger to a minimum.

They currently have three keys, which means they have three Safe House in the community. If they encounter special dangers, they can hide more quickly and improve their survival rate.

However, judging from the current situation, as long as no major changes occur within the community and as long as Yu Lu is present, this hurdle is basically safe. All Luo Di needs to do is take good care of himself.

Creak!

The villa door opened.

The two walked through the seemingly endless streets of the neighborhood again, and arrived at a neighboring villa.

After taking a few deep breaths, Luo Di's finger hovered over the door, about to knock.

Snap snap snap~

He suddenly heard a sound and stopped knocking on the door.

In this completely silent, even deathly quiet, neighborhood, you can hear the slightest rustling of the wind, let alone when you're on edge and even more sensitive to sound.

"Zombies... no, there are multiple footsteps. Miss Yu Lu, could you check if something is coming from our right? I think it's better if I don't look."

Because of the clown's presence, even though Yu Lu had marked the other party, Luo Di still closed off his vision. He could only perceive the situation within ten meters around him and could not look at the source of the sound.

Yu Lu turned her neck and looked into the darkness along the deep alleyway of the residential area.

The sound was getting closer and closer.

An outline gradually appeared, crawling on the ground rather than standing, wearing a collar and a leash.

Yu Lu transmitted the information she saw to Luo Di through a mental connection, maintaining mental synchronization.

"Walking your dog?"

Based on the description and the outline, it really does seem like a resident in the community who walks their dog late at night, but upon closer inspection, that's obviously impossible.

Sure enough, as the other party drew closer, its entire appearance was revealed.

An individual wearing a leather hood and with a body larger than an adult pig lay on the ground, a spiked collar around its neck and a thick metal rope attached to it.

It appears to crawl on all fours, but its abdomen is actually completely split open, and the intestinal structure that comes out can be controlled like limbs, supporting the body and providing the ability to move.

The hood only exposes the huge nostril structure, from which hair-like structures grow, greatly enhancing the sense of smell.

It was unusually excited to have already sensed the two people about to knock on the door, with saliva constantly seeping from under its hood, clearly it was starving.

Clang clang~

The fat pig, which had been crawling normally, became agitated, causing the rope to be pulled to its limit. Just as the fat pig was about to continue charging forward...

At the other end of the metal tether, a slender hand suddenly pulled, and the enormous force sent the fat pig flying, before it crashed heavily to the ground, where it immediately became docile.

Its owner slowly appeared.

She was a woman wearing a brown coat, with a face mask and sunglasses covering almost her entire face, and a long boot under her coat.

The other party walked straight over with their pet, a seemingly normal scene, but in reality, a conflict could break out at any moment. Luo Di had already placed his hands on his waist.

When the distance is reduced to five meters, the footsteps stop.

The other person stopped and took off their sunglasses, revealing a pair of bloodshot eye sockets, which seemed to hold something.

The mask was also removed, revealing a mouth that was completely split open all the way to the ears, with the edges needing to be stitched together.

His mouth opened wide, emitting a series of youthful yet captivating sounds:

"Sister Yu, it's been a long time."

"Juan~ What are you doing here? Weren't you sent to the manor on business?"

Caught in the middle, Luo Di was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party was actually a member of the sorority, and judging from the aura, he was not much weaker than Yu Lu.

Juan smiled, her bright red lips parted in a wide grin, and replied, "You underestimated my efficiency, little sister. I definitely finished early, and I just wanted to have some fun on the way back, so I joined in."

I basically logged in right at the exact time, so I didn't see you, Sister Yu.

And as soon as I entered, Mr. Question Mark came up with something big, actually bringing out these flower pots, which made me very serious, even though I originally just wanted to play around.

"Sister Yu, what's going on here? Is this your new Male Servant? Wait a minute, you don't like men, and besides, you probably don't like this kind of entertainment, right?"

"Grandmother's arrangement."

Juan understood immediately, pressed her index finger against her cheek, and came up with a brilliant idea.

"In that case, I'll lend my sister a hand and let them have a duel. If they win, this piece of meat is yours; it should be enough for you to eat for a day or two."

But if they lose, it means that Grandmother's judgment is not good, and Sister Yu can go back to rest earlier.

How about it?

Or is it that Grandmother insists you win this game? If so, I'll reluctantly give in, and you can just take this fat pig home and eat it.

Anyway, this thing was a gift from the manor owner, and it's in pretty good condition.

Yu Lu first turned her head to look at Luo Di, and made a decision after confirming something.

"Let them give it a try."

Juan covered her mouth in surprise. "Really? I don't know if it's my Male Servant playing tricks on me or what, but why does it feel like he hasn't sprouted yet?"

"It hasn't sprouted yet; he's the lowest-ranking among these servants. Just bring him directly; Luo Di's strength is quite good."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard Sister Yu make such a comment about men. Wait... to avoid being devoured by my pig later, I'll see what's so special about this human first."

Juan tied the pet leash to the lamppost and strode forward in her boots.

She reached out her hand, painted with red nail polish, intending to touch Luo Di's body, but stopped just before she touched him.

"Sister Yu, may I touch it?"

Seeing that Yu Lu didn't speak, she continued to move her hand forward.

One hand reached towards Luo Di's face, seemingly wanting to touch the pituitary gland inside, while the other hand reached towards the waistband, wanting to test the Male Servant's body.

Snap!

Her wrist was grabbed, stopping the touching.

Luo Di simply stared at the other person with a cold expression, remaining silent.

"Oh? That's quite strong... It's a bit strange that a Male Servant would dare to resist."

Juan suddenly exerted her strength, and a mouth appeared on the back of her hand, trying to bite off Luo Di's hand.

To everyone's surprise, Luo Di's arm was immediately wrapped with painful wires, reinforced with gray tentacles, and the inside of his arm was filled with metal traps.

Sizzle~

The Old Spine is visible.

Steam escapes.

Temperatures continue to rise,

A ray of moonlight fell on Juan at the same time, as if it were about to execute her.

The pet tied to the streetlight not far away sensed the danger to its owner and began to struggle. Its intestines even began to grow further, as if it wanted to strangle its owner.

Just as tensions were about to rise, two nooses appeared simultaneously around the necks of the two men.

"Juan, Luo Di is not my Male Servant; he is my Grandmother's man."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I thought a lowly Male Servant would dare to be so disrespectful. I'm sorry, handsome, it was my fault for being prejudiced."

To express my apology, you can come see me once for free when you return to the sorority.

I've never seen a human like you before, you're terrifying! You really tried to kill me just now. I've never seen an unsprouted individual exude such a powerful aura of oppression, it's outrageous.

Juan instantly stopped breathing, smiled with pursed lips, and even blew a kiss before putting her mask back on and returning to her pet's spot.

Since the other party took the initiative to apologize, Luo Di didn't have anything to say.

"Don't fight outside, let's go to the nearest villa."

The four of them left, chatting and laughing.

The villa door that they had just been about to knock on slowly opened, and a Girl stood at the door, coldly watching the four people's disappearing figures and the temporary villa they had gone to.
