Xuan Mo twitched his ears, not turning his head, slightly leaning to the side, and swiftly grabbed the snake by its neck. With a gentle squeeze, the snake's head separated from its body. As for the other head, he kicked it with a spinning kick, causing it to explode. His movements were fluid and graceful.
However, Liu You'er watched this scene with a slight frown, showing a look of regret before getting into the car and closing her eyes to rest.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Xuan Mo guessed that Liu You'er had seen the snake long ago but had deliberately chosen not to tell him.
Thus, the two exchanged glances back and forth. Five hours later, Liu You'er noticed they had not yet arrived in A City. Frowning, she looked around at the surroundings, her gaze darkening, but she said nothing. Xuan Mo, who had been secretly observing Liu You'er's expression, noticed her slight change in demeanor and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He continued to drive seriously. After another hour, they finally arrived safely in B City.
Meanwhile, inside the base,
Because Liu You'er returned with a truckload of food intact, her prestige among the people increased once again after the reforms.
Nanye, seeing her unharmed, felt relieved and said, "Lord of the City? You're back? Didn't you say you would be gone for several days?"
Liu You'er glanced at Nanye, replying calmly, "Oh, I found food early and came back."
Hearing Liu You'er's consistently calm tone, Nanye remained unchanged and simply replied with "Yes," before calling others to help move the food.
In the city center,
Liu You'er did not conceal Xuan Mo's presence, so the arrival of fresh flesh naturally excited the zombies in the city who had not tasted fresh meat for a long time. They rushed towards Xuan Mo and Liu You'er.
Seeing himself surrounded by the horde, Xuan Mo was not surprised. He stared directly at Liu You'er, his eyes revealing two words: childish!
In response to his gaze, Liu You'er smiled gently at him before turning to leave. Although he was powerful, it would still be quite difficult for him to navigate through a sea of zombies alone. Moreover, she would also increase the difficulty for him.
Therefore, after watching Liu You'er leave with a provocative expression on her face, Xuan Mo initially wanted to chase after her. However, upon seeing more and more low-level zombies approaching and hearing the roars of dozens of third-level zombies in the distance, he could only helplessly glance in Liu You'er's direction before running away.
In contrast, Liu You'er did not hide her rank, so when the Horde sensed her pressure, they scattered to the sides, automatically giving her a path about two meters wide.
She walked slowly among the Horde as if in a deserted place, looking at the once prosperous city that was now desolate, feeling a chill in her heart. She never expected that her first return home would be under such circumstances.
Suddenly, a childish roar came from a distance. She unconsciously looked in that direction and realized it was the Water Park, where she used to drag her parents and younger brother to go.
With a creak, the long-closed iron gate was pushed open, causing the starving Zombies inside, who were nothing but skin and bones and slumped on the ground, to suddenly rush out from the shadows. However, when they sensed that it was actually a High-Level Zombie approaching, they quickly retreated back into their hiding places, shrinking away in fear.
Rotting corpses, dust-covered buildings, flies swirling around bloodstains, and young Zombies...
B City... Why did they come to B City? Was it intentional? To come to this place she never wanted to return to...
Roller coasters, Haunted Houses, pirate ships, merry-go-rounds... With every step she took, Liu You'er felt her heart numb a little more. Looking at what was once a joyful amusement park now turned into this scene made her feel a mix of emotions.
"Liu You'er, my gift for you is hidden under the tree next to the pirate ship. If something urgent happens to your father... you dig it out and hide it with your brother. Do you remember?"
As she passed by the pirate ship, her father's words suddenly echoed in Liu You'er's mind, causing her to pause.
When she was younger, she hadn't thought much about those words. Now it seemed that... her father had already guessed something would happen to her?
But suggesting going to the mountain top was her own plan. Although her father was a company director, he treated others well; he shouldn't have made enemies.
"I don't know. That thing... looks like I need to check out my father's company. But right now, I'm still being monitored..."
She thought for a moment and shifted her gaze toward the Haunted House.
Ten minutes later, a Common Zombie dressed in a white robe, probably pretending to be a ghost in life, slowly walked out of the Haunted House.
She had heavy makeup on her face, and there was a wound on the back of her head that was bleeding. She staggered with every step, making her look even more terrifying.
After half an hour, the Zombie finally walked out of the amusement park and reached the road. She wandered around for a while and spotted a car with the keys still in it. Her eyes lit up, and she slowly walked over. Before long, a small car was seen crashing wildly down the street.
"It stinks!"
Liu You'er finally arrived at the company and could finally take off the wig on her head; it almost suffocated her!
She looked ahead at the building made of reflective glass, which was shining brightly. After hesitating at the entrance for a moment, she decided to go in. After running away for so long, she still had to face it.
Most of the company's facilities were automated. When the power was low, the generator would automatically kick in. So now, even after such a long time, there was still electricity in the building.
"Ding."
The elevator door opened, revealing Zombies inside who seemed to be trapped. They were all skin and bones, lying on the ground, dead beyond recovery.
Liu You'er covered her nose as she walked in, disdainfully kicking out those pitiful corpses before closing the elevator door and pressing the button for the 23rd floor.
As she watched the elevator ascend slowly, she felt something was off. Something...
Yes, although the elevator indicated it was going up, why did it feel like—no, it wasn't just a feeling; she was indeed going down!
Her eyes narrowed, and her body took a defensive stance as she slightly crouched down. One hand produced an Electric Blade aimed at the door while the other kept pressing the open button, but it was of no use.
"Ding."
The elevator door opened to reveal a solid wall in front of her.
She looked puzzled but remained alert as she knocked on the wall. At that moment, a voice echoed within the elevator! It made her widen her eyes in disbelief.
The owner of the voice is none other than Liu You'er's father!
"Liu You'er, your arrival here indicates that you have begun to suspect my... cause of death. However, I still hope you won't investigate. You should move on from the shadows and live happily with your mother and younger brother. I know this is difficult, and it's hard not to seek the truth behind everything, but I cannot tell you because I don't want you to seek revenge and fight against those monsters who have long been consumed by their desires. I'm sorry... If you truly encounter insurmountable difficulties, go find Chuze. He may not help you, but he won't harm you either."
"..."
Liu You'er listened in a daze, unsure of how to react. She unconsciously stepped back and slid down against the elevator wall.
After the recording ended, the elevator doors closed automatically and began to ascend slowly.
"Ding"
The doors opened again, revealing Liu You'er looking up blankly at something, her eyes vacant, a self-deprecating smile on her lips as she murmured, "But now, I'm all that's left."
On the outskirts of B City,
Xuan Mo sat on a tree branch, ignoring the Common Zombies surrounding him below. He tapped his watch, and a blue Light Screen appeared, displaying a map of Water Park with a red marker blinking on it.
He stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes glinting with curiosity as he said, "What have they been doing in the Haunted House for so long?"
In the next moment, he vanished, leaving only an afterimage behind.
