No Time to Explain, Get in the Car!!

Speed is of the essence in war.

Given the possibility of unknown, terrifying Monster lurking within this Residential Building, no one wanted to linger there.

"Alright, it's expected to ignite in three minutes. At that point, you just need to follow me and run."

Bai Zhi carefully piled a large amount of things by the window, broke off the half-stick of incense he was holding in his mouth, stuck it there, Ignite, and then turned to the others to speak.

"After you get in the car, remember to fasten your seatbelt as soon as possible."

"... I still don't understand how you managed to concoct a bomb using all those seasonings in the kitchen."

With a strange expression, Young Feather turned his gaze away from the window and looked at Bai Zhi.

"No matter what, I feel that you are a little too dangerous."

"Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll be able to go anywhere in the world without fear. You're a student with higher education, after all. If you can't even mix explosives, your Chemistry Teacher will cry."

Bai Zhi casually Ignite the remaining half of the incense stick and put it in his mouth, his face serious.

"Life is a fucking movie, handsome."

"..."

Although I've never seen a pig run, it doesn't mean I've never eaten pork. Zombie hunt prey by sound and smell, and in some cases, by sight.

So, just to be on the safe side, everyone not only wrapped magazines around their arms with tape, but also sprayed themselves with perfume blended by the friendship of Ink-Stained Crystal.

Although it's called perfume, it smells like moldy, rotten, and rancid meat—extremely unpleasant, almost nauseating... after all, it's made Raw Material rotten meat from the refrigerator.

Young Feather originally suggested that spraying some Pepper Powder, white vinegar, or alcohol would be enough, but Bai Zhi ruthlessly rejected that suggestion with, "What if those Zombie like this even more? Did you marinate yourself beforehand?"

"We feel like we're more like Zombie now..."

He stuffed two large wads of cotton into his nose, muttering to himself, and walked down the dimly lit stairwell to the first floor, with Young Feather at the very back.

Because they needed to wait for the explosives to ignite the fuse, they temporarily stopped at the entrance of the first-floor stairwell.

However, even cotton cannot completely block the evaporation of the smell. The smell of Rotten Meat still relentlessly penetrates the brain, especially in this narrow and blood-filled corridor, where its power is amplified.

A moment later, Young Feather felt dizzy, so much so that when the muffled Explosion came from upstairs, he was startled and jumped.

That one moment saved his life.

A sharp straw grazed his ear and went straight into the wall with a soft popping sound.

"Holy crap!! That Eerie Thing is back again!!"

He looked up in astonishment and was met with a Monster with Blood Red Eyes floating motionless in the air. His heart skipped a beat, and he lunged forward while shouting a warning.

"Be careful, that thing flies silently!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of tiny, rustling sounds followed him from behind. However, although those straws were incredibly powerful, their Precision was far from perfect, and they all ended up embedded in the wall.

In the dimly lit corridor, even more Blood Red Eyes lit up.

"Forget about those Eerie Thing, just follow me and charge!!"

Amidst the chaos, Bai Zhi glanced back and rushed to the gate of the residential complex on the first floor. He yanked the gate open and, taking advantage of the moment when the Zombie wandering around the gate were distracted by the sudden loud noise, he sprinted towards the parking space about 200 meters away.

It can only be said that plans are subject to change. Bai Zhi originally planned to wait another two or three minutes, but due to the sudden appearance of Monster in the corridor, although there were still at least dozens of Zombie blocking the way, the situation no longer allowed him to hesitate.

After all, hesitation leads to defeat.

The distance is less than 200 meters, and it only takes a dozen seconds. As long as they are careful, the Zombie do not pose a threat to them.

When Young Feather was the last one to run out of the Residential Building, dozens of Long Straw followed behind him, with the closest straw only a few centimeters away.

When he finally ran out of the stairwell and saw the scene in front of him, his face turned green instantly.

It's unclear whether these Zombie and the Monster had some kind of grudge, but when those Straw Monster appeared, the hundreds of Zombie that had been surrounding the neighborhood roared and pounced towards him, completely blocking his view. How could he possibly see the three people who had run away earlier?

"Holy crap... are you guys really going to betray your Teammate like this!?"

With a loud curse, Young Feather quickly ran towards the area with the fewest Zombie, simultaneously raising his hands to shield his eyes, mentally preparing himself for being bitten by Zombie.

To his complete surprise, the Zombie ignored him and rushed past him towards the Monster behind him, as if he were a complete outsider. He turned around in disbelief and witnessed a Zombie being killed.

The Zombie was riddled with countless straws, protruding from its front, truly a sight that would drive Patient trypophobia crazy.

"Is this thing... Mosquito Person?"

Looking at the Monster in front of him, busy fighting against Zombie, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

As a result of the chase, some of the Monster from the stairwells also escaped from the Residential Building.

To be honest, he had never seen such a disgusting Monster.

While their physique and limbs still vaguely resemble human features, their size has shrunk by at least half.

If you only look at the upper body, it's just a skinny human being. But when you look down, an extremely horrifying scene comes into his mind.

The legs that originally belonged to humans have been replaced by a pair of thin and terrifying legs that resemble the Insect Exoskeleton, with reversed knee joints and sparse spikes covering them, making the whole thing look quite bizarre.

However, what really gives you goosebumps is the other person's head.

Below those blood-red eyes, half of a face was abruptly missing, replaced by Long Straw that resembled a mosquito's mouthparts, while three fleshy growths on the chin were covered with tiny pustules... It looked like a creation of the most insane scientist in a laboratory.

Even more terrifying is that this Nightmare and bizarre Monster is not just one; at a mere glance, there are at least dozens of Monster flying out of the stairwell.

Although a few Monster were indeed knocked down by the Zombie at the beginning, these flying Monster were inherently invincible.

Some of the Monster began feeding on the Zombie in the neighborhood, while the rest chased after him.

"So how do these things fly if they don't have wings?!"

Seeing the Monster floating in the air and flying towards them in an unscientific way, Young Feather let out a miserable scream, turned around and ran away. Just looking at the Monster behind him was a great torment to his mind.

Perhaps due to the obstruction of the long straws in their mouths, these Monsters are not actually very fast in flight. They can outrun them, and given Monster abysmal Precision, Young Feather is confident that he can take one down with just his kitchen Kitchen Knife if a fight breaks out.

But the problem is... the other person is disgustingly good-looking!!

Just looking at it causes immense psychological discomfort; how can one fight against it?

Just as he was about to be caught by the Monster, a screeching sound of brakes rang out in front of him, and a black sedan screeched to a halt just before hitting him.

The car window rolled down, Bai Zhi's voice rang out.

"No time to explain, get in the car!!"
