Chenhao Hearing the sound, looking over, Lin Li sitting in the corner did not seem unusual.
[Are you seeing things?] Chenhao replied in his mind.
"[Be careful and don't get caught noticing it if you look closely]" Huangpu Xin reminded.
"Okay" Chenhao reply.
" Tiangang, have you found anything to eat? It's already noon, and I can see everyone is hungry," Chenhao leaned over to Tiangang.
[It's me. Don't come back for a while. Wait for my message.] Chenhao transmitted the thought, Tiangang paused for a moment, then suppressed his confusion and replied, "Oh, okay, I'll go check it out now," and then got up and walked towards the supermarket inside the distant mall.
"Hey, wait for me. Li Mu, you come along too. We need more guys, otherwise we won't get much. Chenhao and I will keep watch," Huangpu Xin added, "Bring some sharp objects and keep them hidden."
"Okay, I'll bring Liu Yu," Li Mu replied. "As you wish," Huangpu Xin waved his hand.
Under the organization of Tiangang, the remaining 5 boys went to help, leaving only Huangpu Xin, Chenhao, and the remaining 5 girls in the hall, including Lin Li.
[Dear God, what is that thing???] Chenhao seeking help from Huangpu Xin.
In the direction of Lin Li, Chenhao sensed dozens or even hundreds of consciousnesses, occupying a vast area. However, these consciousnesses were connected together, blending with each other, like a fused monster.
"[I'm not sure, but we may have entered its hunting range. Don't act impulsively. We'll delay as long as we can. I'm not confident in killing it while suppressing the zombification.]" said Huangpu Xin solemnly.
"Okay... but what if it attacks us first?" Chenhao expressed concern.
"[...Run as many as you can, fight those you can't. At least for now, we can't beat them.]" Huangpu Xin said slowly.
The two fell silent. In just a few short hours, their living place had completely collapsed, with not a single person left. Now, there were still monsters lurking around...
"Wu wu wu, wu wu, wu wu..." Finally, one of the girls broke down in tears after just a few hours of life and death blows, and four out of the five girls were crying with their heads in their hands.
Facing Lin Li, who was sitting in the shadow of the wall with no expression, Huangpu Xin and Chenhao could only pretend not to see.
But things don't always go as planned. A girl saw Lin Li standing aside with an expressionless face and thought she was too proud to be with them. She sneered, "Tsk tsk, Lin Li is so aloof. What, Miss Lin can't stand to see us cry?"
This girl, named Zhang Yun, was in the same class as Lin Li. But Lin Li was different from the others; she had parents, and it was said that she was the daughter of a boss. As a result, Lin Li was isolated by a group of insecure girls, but for various reasons, she did not transfer to another school.
"I can't believe it, why did you provoke it? Huangpu Xin and Chenhao are anxious, but there's nothing they can do, they can only pray that the monster has indigestion and ignores her.
Don't say it, this prayer really works. Lin Li didn't move as if she hadn't heard. Zhang Yun lost interest and went with the other three girls."
Soon, Tiangang and Li Mu returned with cooked food, with knives hidden behind their waists and in their clothes. "We took some long-lasting and easy-to-carry food, and only enough cooked food for two meals," Tiangang said.
"Do you have any plans?" Huangpu Xin asked, with an underlying meaning in his words.
Looking at the signal Chenhao made, Tiangang understood: "Ah, I plan to use this place as a base, after all, we can't move the supermarket, so we can only rely on establishing a base here."
Huangpu Xin nodded: "I have two questions: first, we don't know if the zombies will appear again after three hours; second, can the supermarket withstand this fog."
Chenhao continued, "Moreover, considering that people who fall into the fog disappear directly, it's not certain that blocking the fog can prevent what's inside the fog..." The atmosphere became heavy for a moment.
"Eh, don't be so gloomy. We're all starving, how can we plan anything on an empty stomach? Let's eat first, everyone eat," Zhang Wu intervened to lighten the mood. He handed a thousand-layer pancake to his friend Tiangang, saying, "Don't rush, let's all brainstorm together. We can definitely get through this." Then he started distributing the food.
Zhang Yun took the initiative to take the girl's food. Seeing Lin Li still sitting in the corner, Zhang Yun took the initiative to take the cake over to her and said, "Here, this cake is for you," and then threw it on the ground.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped. You can have it yourself," Zhang Yun covered her mouth and laughed.
Noticing this, Huangpu Xin and Chenhao felt a sudden tightness in their hearts and thought, "This is not good."
"Ah!!!" The crowd was scared by a scream, Zhang Wu was choked by a mouthful of cake and rolled his eyes, but no one had time to pay attention to him, because Zhang Yun had already fallen into a pool of blood, clutching his right shoulder.
Looking at Lin Li again, her mouth was open to an unbelievable size... flesh and blood were flying. "Ugh~" The remaining girls and boys all started to retch.
"Speak nonsense, run!" Huangpu Xin shouted as he stored the food in the storage compartment, and Chenhao followed suit, then pushed Huangpu Xin and ran.
"Run upstairs!" Tiangang added after coming to his senses, Li Mu also gathered the remaining food, and then quickly surrounded Lin Li with a ring of flames, and then hurriedly pulled Liu Yu and ran.
Everyone panicked and ran to the stairs in a frenzy, only to find that the monster did not chase after them. Lin Li was still chewing with her mouth wide open. But what happened next terrified everyone.
Lin Li seemed to realize that everyone had run away. She suddenly lifted her head and stared straight at everyone, then slowly began to move her feet towards them.
At this point, everyone could finally see what was in the shadow. Lin Li was only half human-shaped, with the other half being a jumbled mass of bodies including humans, dogs, birds, and so on, with no discernible pattern, and Lin Li was only a small part of it that was exposed.
"Oh my god!" "We're going to die, we're going to die, we're going to die!" "We're going to die!" Several girls started to panic again.
"Everyone, cheer up! The monster moves slowly. We just need to go upstairs and seal off the fire doors on each floor. We can definitely delay it until it disappears!" Tiangang encouraged everyone.
"Yes, for now, let's run and lock the doors as we go." Huangpu Xin agreed.
Everyone heard the words as if they had found their backbone, and they sprang into action, locking the door and helping to carry the girl. Soon, they reached the fifth floor.
With lingering fear in their hearts, they looked at the fire door, feeling unsafe. They brought some cashier counters and miscellaneous items to block the door, hoping to delay its arrival.
"This is not a long-term solution..." Tiangang sighed, looking at the shivering and comforting crowd, and asked Huangpu Xin in a low voice, "Can you use your big move again? It should be able to heavily damage that monster." Tiangang was referring to the energy projection used to eliminate the zombies in the sewer.
"I'm afraid not. Let me be honest with you, right now I can barely hold my own against that thing, let alone have the strength to destroy it," Huangpu Xin explained in a low voice.
"Then you want me to take a sharp object..."
"I want you to defend yourself, or just end it yourself, die quickly. The consciousness inside that thing will merge, if you get eaten, your consciousness will be tortured inside."
"Hey, I was just saying... Huh?! That thing was just in the main hall below, still a distance away from the first-floor security door, how did it suddenly disappear?!!" Tiangang exclaimed.
Tiangang was responsible for keeping an eye on the creature while retreating. Although it moved slowly, Tiangang dared not be careless. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the slow-moving creature suddenly disappeared!
