"Woof woof..."
Gou Dan barked at Xu An. Seeing that she made no move, it ran over and nudged her arm with its head.
Its mouth slightly agape, it gently bit Xu An's sleeve, as if pulling her to look at something.
Xu An snapped back to attention, looking at Gou Dan with confusion. "Did you find something?"
Gou Dan seemed to understand, nodding vigorously. Xu An was even more surprised. wap.kanshuwu.net
Allowing Gou Dan to drag her, she followed it to the corpse of the rabbit-head monster.
Gou Dan, unfazed by the stench emanating from the corpse, leaped onto it and began to dig at the chest area with its claws.
As Xu An approached, the spatial tree that had previously been still began to twist again.
More violently than ever before.
Xu An, suppressing her nausea, took out her dagger and plunged it into the heart area. With a forceful slash, the entire chest cavity was exposed.
Xu An gasped at the sight before her.
Where the heart should have been, a glowing mushroom had taken its place!
It was identical to the one she had dug up in the garden earlier!
Looking at the decaying rabbit head and human body, she guessed this was a secondary mutation caused by the mushroom parasitizing the zombie.
"Could humans be parasitized too?" Xu An muttered to herself.
Everything before her made her uneasy. She took out her flashlight and discovered that the monster's body was covered in scratches and dents of all sizes.
These were clearly not made by Xu An, meaning Qin Chuan must have done it.
The moment her finger touched the mushroom, it transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into her body.
Xu An vaguely felt that this strange mushroom and the spatial tree were somehow related.
But the thought flashed through her mind like a shooting star, impossible to grasp before vanishing.
The massive gunshot not only eliminated the monster but also brought Xu An some unwanted trouble.
After tending to his wounds, Qin Chuan and Zhou Zhe broke through the escape window. Just as they were about to climb out, they heard the gunshot.
"Tsk... looks like that girl isn't dead."
"This little lass is quite capable, Captain. This is technically us selecting talent for the country, so it's not like we're violating the secrecy agreement, right?"
Zhou Zhe's face was beaming with joy, completely oblivious to the playful regret on Qin Chuan's face as he spoke.
Qin Chuan chuckled softly and remained silent, leading the way as he leaped from the four-story building.
Zhou Zhe followed closely behind.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the daylight.
On the other side, the two groups of people who heard the gunshot also displayed varied expressions.
They all felt the same emotion: panic.
After all, it's hard to walk by a river without getting your feet wet.
When you do too many wrong things, you naturally fear "ghosts visiting."
"Ah—gunshots!"
The moment Ji Rou Rou heard the gunshots, she let out a scream and flung herself into Fang Chang's arms.
However, due to her sudden outburst, their hidden position was forced into the open.
"Who the hell is hiding in there! Get out!"
Liu Hu, almost immediately after hearing the commotion, drew the cleaver from his waist, held it in his hand, and roared at a row of hidden shelves in the supermarket.
"Ah, big brother, don't get excited, don't get excited. We're coming out."
Fang Chang shot Ji Rou Rou a hateful glance, thinking, useless for success, but great at causing trouble!
Seeing the group about to charge in with knives, he had no choice but to bring Ji Rou Rou out from behind the shelves.
"Big brother, we are survivors living nearby. We were really out of food, so we had to take a risk to find some. We really had no intention of offending you."
Liu Hu grabbed Fang Chang by the collar. "Stop spewing those educated words at me. Why were you lurking around here suspiciously?"
Another man chimed in, "Yeah! If it weren't for that woman next to you making noise, who knows what you were plotting behind us!"
As they spoke, they instructed a girl accompanying them to check the backpacks that Fang Chang and Ji Rou Rou were carrying for any supplies.
The girl's expression was numb, her pupils devoid of any sparkle, like a robot following Liu Hu's commands.
This girl was Zhou Ruo, the roommate who had betrayed Lin Zhuoran along with Su Youyou.
Lin Zhuoran, seeing this, wished the two groups would fight, allowing her to escape in the chaos.
However, that couple looked rather weak, especially the boy who spoke, wearing glasses and possessing a scholarly yet depraved demeanor.
Just then, a low, husky female voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
"Sister Zhuoran, I warn you, you'd better not think of escaping. You saw with your own eyes what happened to Qian Qian when she was captured."
"If you don't want to end up like her, I advise you to behave!"
Su Youyou's sharp nails dug deeper into Lin Zhuoran's arm with her warning words, leaving her fair skin bruised and blackened.
A murderous intent flashed in Lin Zhuoran's eyes, and she spoke with hatred.
"Bah! If it weren't for you, you bitch, informing on us! How could Qian Qian die! Su Youyou, don't get too smug. Do you think those men will care about you?"
"You'll be the next to die!"
Su Youyou dared not openly slap Lin Zhuoran, so she could only secretly pinch her with her sharp nails, her expression somewhat frenzied.
"Don't worry, I'll die after you! Stop pretending to be a chaste maiden. What kind of world is this now? Survival is the real skill!"
Su Youyou never admitted she was wrong back then!
But Su Youyou forgot that if she hadn't let those men in, she could have lived with dignity.
Instead of wagging her tail and begging like a dog!
Zhou Ruo searched for a long time, then handed the only remaining bottle of mineral water and a few packets of compressed biscuits to Liu Hu and his group.
Liu Hu glanced at the items in Zhou Ruo's hand and snorted contemptuously through his nostrils.
"Just this much? Nothing else?"
Zhou Ruo shook her head obediently, indicating there was nothing else.
Another man casually kicked Zhou Ruo, his face filled with annoyance as he cursed, "Get lost. You give me bad luck just looking at you, you mute!"
Zhou Ruo didn't resist, lowering her head, she quietly walked to the side, but her fingers flipped, secretly hiding something in a corner where no one could see.
Lin Zhuoran watched Zhou Ruo being casually kicked and scolded. Although she felt the girl deserved it, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy as they had been roommates for a year. She turned her head away.
Su Youyou sneered, "Why are you putting on a show of sisterly affection? Didn't you swear you'd kill us?"
Lin Zhuoran knew this bitch Su Youyou was trying to provoke her, but she wouldn't fall for it.
She had to admit, this bitch was truly capable. After all these months, she could still keep these three men hooked without them getting tired of her.
Lin Zhuoran thought this was also convenient for her, as she wouldn't have to expend effort figuring out how to avoid the men's torment.
One could only say that hateful people must have pitiful origins.
Among the three girls who had betrayed Lin Zhuoran back then, only Su Youyou remained intact. The other two had been so tortured by the three men that they were no longer recognizable.
Zhou Ruo, who majored in broadcasting and had a beautiful voice, had become mute, while Lin Qian Qian had been beaten to death for trying to escape and was eventually thrown out to be fed to zombies.
