At the end of the corridor, Lin An stopped and thought for a moment. 520 Official Website

He only knew that a Mutant had appeared in this hotel in his previous life, but he had no idea exactly where.

People called that Mutant the Bloody Witch, and her methods were extremely brutal.

Although she was not very strong, in the early days before the apocalypse, every survivor in Lin Jiang City was terrified whenever her name was mentioned.

There was no other reason—the Bloody Witch enjoyed torturing and slaughtering people. Anyone who died at her hands would suffer inhuman torment.

"Could it be that I have to clear and search every floor one by one?"

Lin An muttered to himself, feeling somewhat helpless.

Forget it. I'll end this quickly.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Lin An walked out as casually as if he were taking a stroll, lightly tapping the edging around the corners of the walls with the Nepal Curved Blade in his hand.

The metallic clanging was painfully sharp.

The Zombies surrounding the door suddenly turned their heads, but unexpectedly, only a few of them charged toward Lin An.

"Crack."

The doorframe came loose.

After the door was repeatedly gnawed, scratched, and rammed by the Zombies, it finally opened.

A large horde of Zombies rushed inside.

Inside the room, Yu Shihao gripped a knife, his expression crazed.

He dragged Zhou Fang by the hair with both hands, completely ignoring the girl's struggles.

Blood flowed from her wrist, while Wang Fang's impaled ankle hung limply.

"You stinking bitch!"

"If someone has to die, you go first!"

As the girl screamed, Yu Shihao threw her directly into the Zombie Crowd, then viciously kicked her in the back to make sure.

He had thought it through clearly.

When the Zombies broke through the door, throwing Wang Fang into the Zombie Crowd to Delay Time was his only chance of staying alive.

With despair on her face, the girl was thrown into the Zombie Crowd. More than a dozen pairs of rotten hands tore at her clothes and flesh.

Her skin was ripped open alive.

The Zombie Crowd ignored Yu Shihao in the corner and instinctively savored the delicacy that had reached their mouths.

A chunk of flesh was bitten completely off the girl's face, and she let out a shrill cry of pain.

Yu Shihao did not dare look her in the eyes.

Those eyes were filled with deep despair and venom.

Now!

"Ah!"

As if cheering himself on, he let out a furious roar.

With a vicious look in his eyes and both hands shielding his head, he took advantage of the gap while the Zombies were eating Wang Fang and frantically charged toward the doorway.

Two meters, three meters.

He usually enjoyed exercising, so his physical fitness was fairly decent.

With a desperate burst of strength, he actually charged straight out of the Zombie Crowd's encirclement.

I'm alive!

Yu Shihao's face was alight with wild joy as he crawled and rolled into the corridor.

"Stride Forward Chop."

With one clean stroke, Lin An killed the few scattered Zombies charging at him, then coldly looked at the young man who had rushed out of the room.

What a fast blade.

So strong.

Yu Shihao lay sprawled on the ground, staring dumbfoundedly at Lin An as he sheathed his blade.

He glanced back at the Zombies that were almost finished eating Wang Fang, as if he had thought of something.

"Big brother, big brother, please save me."

"My girlfriend was eaten by the Zombies. I couldn't save her. Please, help me."

Crawling and rolling, Yu Shihao knelt at Lin An's feet with an obsequious expression.

As if he were extremely grief-stricken, he squeezed out a few tears and looked at Lin An pleadingly.

Lin An remained silent. He had no interest in saving anyone.

Too lazy to bother with him, he strode directly toward the Zombie Crowd eating Wang Fang.

He did not know whether this group of Zombies had left behind any traces of the Bloody Witch.

Yu Shihao collapsed onto the ground, secretly delighted.

This man was so strong. It looked like he really had been saved.

"Stinking bitch, at least your death was worthwhile."

Yu Shihao sneered inwardly, without the slightest hint of guilt.

Watching Lin An charge into the Zombie Crowd like a tiger into a flock of sheep, Yu Shihao's eyes gleamed.

Several flashes of blade light swept past, and more than half of the Zombie Crowd was cut down.

His eyes shifted as numerous ideas began to form in his mind.

Unlike the people Lin An had encountered earlier, he was a little older, yet he still had not figured out the situation.

While trapped in the room, he had carefully read the few lines of explanation provided by the Doomsday Game.

Combined with the novels and movies he had seen, he had more or less realized that this world might have already become completely different.

If nothing unexpected happened, the outside was probably full of Zombies.

Lin An was so powerful. Naturally, Yu Shihao had to do everything he could to cling to this powerful ally.

Otherwise, he had no confidence that he could survive on his own.

"Bang!"

Yu Shihao's eyelid twitched as he watched Lin An crush the last Zombie's skull beneath his foot like a burst water balloon.

"This big brother, may I ask what I should call you?"

He hurriedly got to his feet and eagerly took off his jacket, wanting to wipe the blood off Lin An's body.

"Get lost."

Lin An spat out the word coldly, frightening him into not daring to approach.

He had activated the Eye of Judgment earlier to search for clues.

Neither group of Zombies had any information about the Bloody Witch.

Mutants like this usually brought some changes to the Zombies around them.

Was the Bloody Witch on one of the floors below, or had she still not mutated yet?

If it was the latter, then his plan had undoubtedly been disrupted.

Killing Zombies that had not mutated would not increase his level.

Searching blindly for other Mutants in the city would be no different from seeking death.

If his level was insufficient, he might not even be able to obtain the equipment from the hospital.

Everything was linked together. He could not afford the slightest mistake.

At this moment, the two people led downstairs by Lin An from above also arrived at the eighth floor.

Lin An was silent for a moment before slowly asking the three people, whose expressions varied.

"Have you seen any unusually special female Zombies?"

"Or have you seen any place where the Zombies were behaving strangely?"

Hearing Lin An take the initiative to ask a question, Yu Shihao hurriedly spoke up, wanting to show off.

"Big brother, there are many female Zombies here. What exactly do you mean by 'special'?"

Lin An pondered for a moment. He actually did not know either.

No images or information about the Bloody Witch had appeared in the Chat Channel. Apart from knowing her name and strength, he knew nothing else.

"If you're asking what makes her special, she might be connected in some way to the words 'Bloody Witch.'"

The Bloody Witch?

Director Wang and the other person wore awkward expressions. The two of them had no idea what Lin An was talking about.

Yu Shihao racked his brain, but after thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with any information related to the Bloody Witch.

"Big brother, after the apocalypse broke out, I stayed in my room the whole time and never went outside."

Yu Shihao gave an awkward laugh, afraid that Lin An would think he was completely useless.

"If you want to search, I can search with you. This building is so big; it won't be convenient for you to search alone. My physical fitness isn't bad, and I definitely won't hold you back!"

As if he were pledging his loyalty, Yu Shihao immediately opened his Player panel and respectfully displayed it before Lin An.

Player information: Yu Shihao (Level 0) Strength: 7 Agility: 6 Physique: 6 Will: 8

His attributes were fairly decent.

Among ordinary people, they could even be considered above average.

"Big brother, may I presumptuously ask how much Strength you have?"

Thinking of the strength Lin An had displayed earlier, Yu Shihao's heart burned with excitement.

If he had that kind of strength, would he still have to be trapped behind a door in despair by the Zombies?

"From what I saw just now, your performance was incredible. You're so strong—your attributes must be at least 11 points, right?"

Lin An frowned slightly.

Although Yu Shihao concealed it well and kept flattering him, Lin An could tell that he was probing him.

Ten points was the human limit. It was one of the few explanations on the attribute panel.

By asking whether he had 11 points, Yu Shihao was really testing whether his strength had surpassed the human limit.

Lin An said nothing and simply prepared to head to the next floor.

Seeing that Lin An had not answered, Yu Shihao did not mind.

He hurriedly followed Lin An.

"Big brother, just take me in. I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I absolutely won't hold you back!"

Lin An frowned slightly.

Take him in?

Yu Shihao's attributes were passable, and he was also good at reading people's expressions.

People like him were indeed much more useful than ordinary people.

But Lin An did not plan to waste a spot on an ordinary person. Moreover, the mission of the Savior Squad restricted this as well.

As for scheming and nature?

With the System's restraints, once he joined the squad, he could forget about plotting against or betraying Lin An.

That was something he did not need to worry about.

Seeing that Lin An had no intention of paying attention to him, Yu Shihao clenched both fists.

Damn it, this guy definitely knows a way to increase his strength!

I have to find a way to get it out of him.

Daring not reveal his thoughts, Yu Shihao continued following respectfully behind Lin An.

Lin An walked at the front, while Director Wang and the other person followed at the rear, not daring to fall too far behind.

As the group continued downstairs, the dim corridor behind them suddenly twisted.

On the remaining half of Wang Fang's face, her eyes stared woodenly at the ceiling, filled with dead silence and resentment.

No one noticed.
