Chapter 64: Goodbye, brother
I can’t describe how difficult it was to walk. As the weakness of my soul came in waves, and when I thought of the trap that Lu Fanming said was in the tunnel outside, and when the fatigue of my body made me want to lie down…
Every step seemed to be a “natural barrier” and every time I took a step, my calves were shaking!
If I could ignore the physical exhaustion and mental pressure, the weakness of the soul made me indulge in bouts of sleepiness, and it was difficult to even open my eyelids, let alone escape from this basement with a man and a child in my arms?
“Nonsense… it has aftereffects… nonsense…” The words of the master kept echoing in my head. Was it nonsense? What were the aftereffects? I smiled wryly and tried to put down the child in my arms, but his little hand was gripping me tightly.
I couldn’t imagine where such a weak child had gotten such great strength to hold onto my clothes so tightly.
“Be good, uncle is taking something out, so that we can escape.” I comforted the child softly. Once again, a miracle happened. He actually let go of his little hand. I doubted that it was not a child facing me at the moment, but the soul in the child’s body was directly sensing me.
The cold, oppressive, and cruel aura behind me was getting heavier and heavier. The sealed basement was actually experiencing gusts of wind, and the ‘gorgeous’ blue-purple flames were blown about, leaping strangely, and almost going out. Accompanying this terrifying atmosphere were the roars and shouts of the ‘Woe of Kunlun’ that were about to rise from the dead…
“Brother, wait for me!” With Lao Hui on my back, I didn’t even have the strength to reach into the yellow cloth bag to get something. I put down Lao Hui while talking, and then took out the pill from the yellow cloth bag!
Aftereffects? I was just messing around? Looking at the pill, I hesitated for only a second, then I was about to throw the pill into my mouth, not caring about the weakness of my soul. Or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, death is nothing more than that, I’m worth it.
At that moment, a pair of hands grabbed my hand. Because I was weak, those hands were so weak. It was Lao Hui!
“No… don’t you want to live?” Old Hui’s voice was so weak.
“You rest. You remember that there are three lives here. I can only fight.” I gently moved away from Lao Hui’s hand. Lao Hui looked at the child inexplicably, and in the end, he just sighed lightly and did not stop me.
After taking the pill, my weak soul was like a long-dry land, infused with new liquid. Although the liquid was not sweet water, it might just be strong oil. After being infused into this dry land, it would burn here, leaving nothing in the end, but at least in the burning, I regained my strength.
The feeling of weakness disappeared, and the feeling of exhaustion and wanting to sleep was replaced by excitement. I no longer hesitated, picked up the child, carried the old man on my back, and ran like crazy towards the exit…
One step, ten steps, twenty, thirty… The exit with the open door grew bigger and bigger in my eyes. I was grateful that Luo Fanming was so confident that after letting us down, he did not close the door mechanism, otherwise just finding the mechanism could have trapped us in the basement!
People always need a little luck. This is human destiny!
Fate is not trying to kill me. Thinking this, a smile suddenly appeared on my face. Hope can always give people endless motivation. This is much more positive energy than despair, because it does not lead people to destruction!
My footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell, accompanied by my heavy breathing. The last five steps, the last three steps, the last step… I crossed the threshold, as if I had entered a world of hope.
I forgot the ticking of the clock. I was unaware that when I had only a few steps left, the clock had already pointed to three minutes. Just as I was rejoicing, I took a deep breath and prepared to rush through the tunnel and find out what the mechanism was.
In the basement, a candle suddenly went out with a “whoosh” and a light bulb suddenly exploded with a “bang.” Through the small window, I didn’t have to look to feel that the entire basement suddenly became a little darker…
“Die… you’re all going to die…” A young but cruel voice suddenly echoed in the basement. I didn’t see its form, but I heard its voice first. As Lu Fanming said, the entity of the little ghost is really about to return!
Its aura is so strong that even before its true body returns, it has already used its powerful aura to send a cruel message to me and Lao Hui. The baby in my arms seemed to be frightened and began to convulse, and once again began to cry like a kitten!
The situation was already critical!
I roared loudly, then gritted my teeth and rushed forward recklessly. I didn’t get far before I noticed a clattering sound coming from the entire tunnel… one, two, three… a total of five secret doors appeared at the same time…
The speed of the mechanism was very fast. The secret doors opened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and inside were flickering shadows, people moving about, and the sound of roaring. I was too familiar with this sound. It was the sound of zombies!
It turns out that the trap that Luo Fanming was talking about is like this. There are a lot of zombies locked up in secret rooms in this passage. I didn’t dare to stay, so I didn’t know how many zombies were in these secret rooms, but from the density of the zombies, there were a lot!
There are more than in the warehouse, that’s my only concept!
But the worst thing was not this. Behind us, we heard even more powerful roars and fast, dense footsteps. The “Kunlun Disaster” that the Grandmaster had spoken of had risen and was already chasing us!
I only glanced back and saw that the fastest one had almost reached the entrance to the underground passage. Even more bizarre, it was holding a magic weapon and was chanting incantations!
No, no! I screamed in my heart. Could it be that there is still a small part of the instinct of life? This is really terrible, but thinking about the old village chief, it almost retains all the memories of life, and it is even perverted to retain the village in the way it was in life. It is not strange for these zombies to retain some of their abilities in life!
Lu Fanming! My teeth almost bled, and I only hated myself for killing him too easily just now…
I quickly rushed through the five secret rooms, and the secret room doors were still mercilessly opening. The zombie monsters had already “flooded” out one by one. According to the rules, as soon as they became a little more awake, they would mercilessly chase after me. What’s worse, if we die, what about the village? This village is still very close to the city. This village…
My eyes were red, burning with hatred. Lu Fanming, fuck you! He was already dead, killed by me, but that didn’t stop my hatred for him!
Suddenly, I felt my old back twitch twice. I couldn’t turn around to check on the old back, so I shouted, “Old back, hang in there!”
Laohui didn’t answer me, but suddenly struggled off my back. I stumbled twice before I could steady myself. When I looked back, Laohui’s body was pierced with seven knives… Seven knives of sacrifice, a sacrifice of life, even immortals are powerless to turn back time…
“Laohui… you!” Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes, and I suddenly choked, making my throat ache terribly. I was unable to say anything but these few words!
Laohui was changing rapidly. After sacrificing his life, he gained all the power. The “god” who was invited had to take a person’s entire vitality, spirit, and energy. During the time of being invited, it was necessary to “live and die together”!
Under these circumstances, who would dare to have any reservations? At this time, Lao Hui is the mountain demon, and the mountain demon is Lao Hui!
Don’t think that magic is too amazing. The appearance is determined by the mind, that is, the soul affects the appearance. After Lao Hui obtained all the power of the mountain demon, that is, in an instant, the soul and the mountain demon coexisted, and his appearance naturally began to change.
Laohui didn’t answer me. His appearance was right in front of my eyes, strange yet familiar.
I felt a sinking sensation in my chest pocket, and it was Lao Hui’s bloody hand that put the watch into my pocket. “Bring out the children and the watch. You said that the soul can be sublimated (my master), and my life or death is not important! Remember, bring them out, or I will not forgive you!”
After saying this, Lao Hui let out a cry of anguish and turned his head without looking back, rushing towards the passage. In an instant, he was fighting with the zombie monsters…
Laohui! My tears were almost rolling down at this moment. I dared not look again. I felt that the hem of my chest was being grabbed a little tighter. I turned around and ran towards the exit. Behind me, there was the roar of the zombie monsters and the angry outburst of Laohui!
Brother, goodbye…
