Be a heartthrob in a world of horror

Chapter 42 Xia Yuan

The absolute safety time of 3 minutes is still reserved in the competition world, and every second counts against time. First, spray the spray of reinforcing agent on the kerosene lamp, and then lift the lamp to check the surrounding environment.

Because the night vision ability has been initially improved, the range he can see is larger than the range illuminated by the oil lamp, but it is only about five meters at most, because the light beyond this cannot be illuminated at all, it is pure darkness , so nothing can be seen.

The environment here is dark, cold, and very humid. The ground under my feet is rough stone bricks, covered with moss, and the sound of ticking water can be heard in my ears.

When Shi Zishu looked down at himself, he found that the clothes on his body had not been changed due to the change of the world, and the background did not mention the age, indicating that the background of time can basically be ignored.

With the light from the kerosene lamp, he took a few steps forward tentatively, and saw a large red-black stain on the ground. Combined with the fishy smell and stench floating in the air, it was undoubtedly blood.

This place is very dangerous.

The vigilance in Shi Zishu's heart was raised to another level. Even if it was still within the safe time, he still immediately took out the demon hunting pistol, holding the gun in one hand and the oil lamp in the other, and walked forward quickly.

After walking a few more steps, a mottled stone wall suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The wall was black, and a dark liquid of unknown substance was flowing. There were rotten broken bones scattered under the base of the wall. The fractures were uneven and sharp. The teeth marks were bitten by something.

The name of this world is "tower", and the goal is to reach the top of the tower, that is to say, he may be at the bottom of a tower now, looking for a way to climb up layer by layer.

There are still man-eating beasts or monsters here, but after walking around quickly, Shi Zishu didn't trigger anything like a mechanism.Although this does not mean that there are no traps in the tower, it is a good sign after all. After all, it is too dark here, and if you are not careful, you may encounter traps.

Shi Zishu guessed that this pagoda is not a pagoda in the ordinary sense, and the interior is likely to be astonishingly large.The location he is currently in is probably just one of the rooms on this floor, because he found a closed iron door when he was groping. The area of ​​​​this room alone is very wide, and the outside of the room will only be more unimaginable.

However, apart from the remaining bones and blood, Shi Zishu found nothing else, and there was no message on the wall. The security time was about to end, and before it was completely over, he gripped his pistol and pushed open the iron door to avoid accidents. When you open the door, you are ambushed by something.

With a "squeak", the rusty iron door made an ear-piercing sound, a strong stench came over his face, and the strange sound of ???? also drilled into his ears.

Shi Zishu lit up the front with a lamp. In his sight, there was a long and narrow corridor with no end in sight, just like the dark and damp inside the house. The room he was in was the end of the corridor, extending far away. The door, the door was tied with a chain, and a strange sound came from inside the door.

Safety time is over.

"Hoo, hoo"

"Hee hee hee"

As if accompanied by a system prompt, these voices became clearer, like murmurs, treacherous laughter, and the sound of gnawing flesh and blood, all mixed together and becoming more chaotic.

Shi Zishu knew that what was locked inside the door was definitely not a good thing, so he didn't delay any longer when he saw it, and walked quickly to the other end of the corridor with the lamp in his hand.

Following his footsteps, the lights illuminated the iron doors on both sides, as if water droplets were dripping into a boiling oil pan, and the sounds became more and more crazy, babbling, swallowing, laughing, all in the dark echoed in the hallway.

"is light"

"is light"

"Out"

"He came out with light"

"bang"

There was a heavy banging sound from inside a door, which deformed the iron door, and then all the things inside the iron door were also stirred up, hitting the iron door one after another, rumbling for a while, shaking the wall Both the ground and the ground shook slightly, looking extremely terrifying.

"Boom" "Boom"

The deformation of the iron door became more and more serious, and those things seemed to rush out at any time. After confirming that there was no mechanism, Shi Zishu started running in the corridor with the oil lamp in his hand.

"He will flee with the light"

"Can't let him escape by himself"

The things inside the door had an extremely crazy desire for the light emitted by the oil lamp, and Shi Zishu's actions caused them to scream and howl angrily.

They kept banging on the iron door, and some of them were silent when they bumped into it, as if they were killed alive, but some broke through the door panel, stretched out their pale long arms, and hooked them with their sharp nails. Shi Zishu's hem.

"boom"

Shi Zishu directly fired a shot, which hit his arm, and a big hole was opened in that arm. He retracted all of a sudden, and the thing inside the door screamed.However, there were more hands, claws, and even tongues or tentacles that pulled the iron door out of the hole, protruded from the inside, and stretched towards Shi Zishu in the corridor.

"hiss"

The clothes and flesh were caught by the sharp claws, and Shi Zishu's clothes were torn open, and the inside was ripped apart, and blood gushed out from the inside.His face became more and more condensed, regardless of the pain, he held up the lantern with one hand, and shot towards them one by one, forcibly opening a path among the many arms.

The corridor gradually had a slope and began to extend upwards. Shi Zishu, stained with blood, squeezed out of the corridor full of iron doors, and finally the iron doors became much sparser.

However, those things hit the iron gate again and again, some of them had squeezed out half of their bodies, and even a few had escaped from the iron gate, and followed Shi Zishu in the darkness behind him.

When Shi Zishu heard their footsteps chasing them, he didn't turn his head to pay attention. Taking advantage of the scarcity of monsters, he immediately held a pistol under his arm, took out a bottle of healing potion from the space, drank it in a hurry, and healed the wound on his body again. Speeding up, he ran towards the other end of the corridor.

"Light"

"do not go"

The things behind him howled and chased, Shi Zishu turned a deaf ear, the iron gate disappeared completely, the corridor spiraled upwards, those roars were left behind by him, farther and farther away, and returned to the original sound The slight sound of ????

"call"

The oil lamp swayed back and forth following his steps, illuminating the road ahead.After running for an unknown amount of time, a large and heavy stone gate finally appeared in front of Shi Zishu, blocking his way.

There is a line of bloody words written on the stone gate.

"Monsters exist."

Shi Zishu looked at this line of words, not sure what it refers to, it may refer to those things just now, or it may mean that there is an even more terrifying existence behind this door.

or means other clues

Without a very obvious reminder, Shi Zishu stopped thinking, seized the time, put his body against the stone door, and slowly pushed it with all his strength.

"what"

The stone gate was gradually opened, and at the moment when the gap appeared, Shi Zishu suddenly heard a woman's scream. Unexpectedly, there was a light on the other side of the stone gate, and the light became more and more intense. Shi Zishu's body was enveloped.

Shi Zishu's front was suddenly empty, and the Shimen disappeared. He stabilized his body in time, stood up with the oil lamp in his hand, and squinted his eyes slightly, unaccustomed to the sudden brightening of the surrounding light.

At this moment, a thought crossed his mind. Didn't the oil lamp be the only light source in the dark? Why did other lights appear? Could it be that he was moved outside the tower?

He clenched the gun tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly. Over his head was a crimson sunset like blood. As the sun was setting, the air still smelled of blood and stench, mixed with other strange smells.

Enter the second floor.

Lamp oil is nearby.

The system issued a reminder that there is lamp oil.Shi Zishu's eyes moved, and he looked around on the scorched earth. The rotting limbs were scattered all over the place, and the flames were crackling. For some reason, this place gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

"What are you looking at"

A female voice came from far behind him, Shi Zishu turned around suddenly, pointed his gun at the back, and pointed the gun at the other party, it was a young woman.

But when Shi Zishu raised his gun, the young woman didn't show any fear. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's me who scared you. No zombies are coming, don't worry."

Shi Zishu's movements imperceptibly froze for a moment.He can conclude that this is not outside the tower, he is inside the tower. At this time, he may have fallen into a hallucination, or his memory has been read by something.

Because he has seen this woman.

Five years ago, as Shi Zishu.

The woman's appearance is very ordinary, and she can only be considered delicate, with no special features, and the time she spent with Shi Zishu was not long, but his memory of her is still very deep.

It's not a happy memory, however.

She was the first person he knew, his first teammate, and the first acquaintance he personally killed after entering the "Terrorist Reincarnation".

"What's wrong with you, you have such a serious expression, are you unhappy about something?"

The young woman walked towards him with a smile on her face as usual.

Shi Zishu didn't have any feelings of nostalgia, but an extremely dangerous feeling rose in his heart, because the woman's name and favorability value were not displayed on his system panel, which meant that she was not alive at all.

He was about to pull the trigger, but then he found that his body was suddenly frozen, unable to control even the slightest movement.

Everything happened so quickly and strangely, he could only watch helplessly as the woman walked up to him, slowly buffering him and stretching out her hand like a stop-motion animation.

A pair of hands as cold as ice covered his eyes.

His eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness, together with his consciousness and senses, they all merged into nothingness, and he lost all perception.

Only a hoarse and sinister voice is so clear

"If you were given another chance, would you still kill her?"

Shi Zishu suddenly opened his eyes.

His legs felt weak for a while, and he half-kneeled on the ground dizzily, gasping for breath.

The stench and decay that filled his breath made his body tremble slightly, his clothes became tattered and stained with a strange black liquid, howling and roaring echoed in the wilderness for a long time, all Everything reminded him that this was real, that he had indeed been involved in something called "the cycle of terror".

Recalling his teammate's body torn apart by the zombies, the blood splattered everywhere, and the flesh eaten, Shi Zishu couldn't help retching, but he couldn't spit out anything, and his whole body was shaking violently.

There were originally ten of them, but now two of them have died, including a professional Sanda coach. Even though he had such powerful fists and feet, under the siege of zombies, he could only turn into a mass of rotten flesh .

He knelt on the ground in embarrassment, forcing himself to calm down, but it didn't work.

He has never received any training and is a purely ordinary person. However, because he has been an orphan since he was a child, he has suffered a lot, so his physical fitness is slightly better, and he can make a few more gestures than ordinary people, but it is limited to This is it.Even if he escaped by chance just now, who knows if he will be the next person to die

After entering reincarnation, he was not as lucky as some two people in the team. He could get the same ability, and even the gifted weapon was just a very ordinary axe. He was the worst luck in the team. He had no confidence in surviving at all. , even now he feels that it would be better to die early, because he can be freed early

"Hey, why are you lying here like an ostrich?"

Suddenly Shi Zishu was patted on the shoulder from behind, and he almost fell to the ground in fright. Fortunately, he realized in time that this was his teammate, so he was not so embarrassed. With the help of the other party, he barely stood up stand up.

The one who helped him up was a young woman, who looked a few years older than him, with a very ordinary appearance, but her smile was very clean and pure, without haze, full of vitality in such a terrible environment.

Shi Zishu admired her openness and optimism. If it weren't for her comfort and encouragement, the group of them would have collapsed very early, and they wouldn't have persisted until now.

"Everyone was dispersed by the wave of corpses just now. I was looking for people everywhere, and I found you first." The young woman patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "This wave of corpses has passed, it's okay, let's fight Come on spirit."

"Thank you." Shi Zishu was still in a daze, took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed down his emotions, and repeated in a very soft voice, "Thank you so much, Miss Xia Yuan."

"Why are you polite, we are comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe"

The woman named Xia Yuan laughed and ruffled his hair, "When you feel better, come with me and find someone else."

"Ah."

Shi Zishu nodded and followed Xia Yuan, but after walking a few steps, he stopped hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yuan turned her head and looked at him strangely.

"I always feel," Shi Zishu looked around and said with a frown, "I might have lost something."

"Is it important? Do you need help looking for it?" Xia Yuan asked with concern.

"let me check."

Shi Zishu checked his belongings. He didn't bring anything with him, and he killed very few monsters. He couldn't unlock abilities or buy better weapons. He had already picked up the gifted ax and held it in his hand. , the only bottle of healing potion was also properly placed in the space.

Obviously nothing was lost, but why did he have such a strange feeling

He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, declined Xia Yuan's proposal, and the two left here together.
