Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Third, you did it?” Guo Yuan and Zhao Zhen couldn’t believe their eyes! Li Qi was almost dead, and the man who had made him like this was Third.
“I don’t know. I just lost consciousness. When I woke up, he was like this!” Pan Di said, stuttering and pale.
“What do you mean? You were unconscious?” Zhao Zhen asked in a hurry.
“When we were going up the stairs, he hit me hard on my back, and I fainted. As soon as I woke up, I found him like this, and then you came in. I swear I didn’t do it!” Pan Di cried out in a hurry.
Guo Yuan didn’t know what to say. He hurriedly bandaged Li Qi with a bedsheet and tried to stop his bleeding, but this didn’t work at all.
Zhao Zhen glanced around the room, then hurriedly asked, “What about Zhao Ze?”
“No… I don’t know…” Pan Di said shamefacedly. He told them that he saw Li Qi lying in the blood as soon as he woke up. He didn’t even know that Zhao Ze was gone.
Guo Yuan’s eyes narrowed to a thin line. Suddenly, a chill surged from the bottom of his heart. He said, “It’s been an hour since we separated from our boss, but you haven’t been taken to the fourth floor by Zhao Ze. Boss has gone up to the fourth floor to look for you, and he hasn’t come down yet. That means…”
“What? Did boss go up to the fourth floor to look for us?” Pan Di was still confused.
“This isn’t good! Boss is in danger!” Guo Yuan and Zhao Zhen realized at the same time.
Guo Yuan and Zhao Zhen stared at each other. A sense of fear arose. “It’s too late to explain! Go! The fourth floor! Our boss is in danger!” Zhao Zhen quickly opened the door and picked up his weapon. He added quickly, “Let’s go!”
The three rushed out of the door and ran up the stairs at their fastest speed. When they came to the fire door on the fourth floor, they saw that the fire door was closed. They couldn’t push it open.
“D*mn! The fire door is locked!” Pan Di said in horror.
“Chop it! Split it open! Whatever! The boss must be in there!” Zhao Zhen was frantic. “Zhao Ze. It must be Zhao Ze!”
The three people were so angry that their eyes seemed ready to pop out! They threw the fire axe at the fire door. After several times, they finally cut a hole through the door with the axe.
The three men hurried in, and what they saw was so surprising to them that their fire axes fell to the ground with a loud bang. They stared with their mouths wide open. Their eyes were filled with shock, and they stood there like dull petrified wood.
The long corridor was full of bodies everywhere. The blood almost painted the whole corridor. The corridor was filled with thick blood mist and muddy blood plasma underfoot.
Everything in front of them happened in slow-motion, like in a movie. The heads of zombies were flying around in the air. The skewered, crushed, and blown-off heads of the zombies were like brilliant fireworks, constantly dancing in front of the three people.
They saw a familiar figure among the zombies. His back was like a vigorous ape’s. They saw him single-handedly penetrate into the army of zombies, like a starving wolf into a flock of sheep.
He had no weapons, just a pair of fists. His every blow threw a zombie into the air, then burst the zombie’s brain! His fist was like a meteorite tearing the sky. It sharply hit the head of each zombie.
Bang! There was a sound of an explosion. The strong air pressure spread Shen Chen’s anger everywhere. His momentum was like the Yangtze River, running out millions of meters away. His huge fists, tearing the air, went straight at the head of each zombie.
Everyone felt that Shen Chen had divided into dozens of Shen Chens in front of them! Each Shen Chen punched down a zombie. The head of each zombie was smashed like a watermelon. The zombies looked incredibly vulnerable under his fist.
‘Is he even human?’ This was exactly what Zhao Zhen, Guo Yuan, and Pan Di were thinking about.
No wonder their leader had asked the three of them to do it together yesterday. Their boss was far beyond what they were able to fight against. In that moment, the three of them felt so weak and small. The zombies were just like fragile straws. When Shen Chen slightly waved his arm, he easily ended their lives.
It was so bloody! It was so violent! White brains and red blood pervaded the corridor as a fog. Shen Chen’s every critical hit brought a splash of blood into the air. The walls on both sides and the ground were covered by dark carrion, red blood, and white brains. The corridor was like purgatory.
Twenty minutes later, the last zombie was slammed against the wall, and it was deeply embedded into it.
Guo Yuan and the other two’s expressions had changed from a look of shock at the beginning to numbness.
Countless corpses and flattened heads around them were centered around Shen Chen, forming a horrible circle of heads.
‘How many zombies have been killed by him?’ the three wondered.
Shen Chen slowly turned around, and, suddenly, the three people felt their blood freeze in that moment. They also felt a great pressure coming from the sky, with which came an unstoppable shivering of their bodies and the impulse to escape to the fire door.
Shen Chen’s eyes were still an amazing blood red. He looked at the three people, who were stunned by his amazing performance in the fight. He began to walk to them slowly. One step… Two steps…
Their hands couldn’t help but shake. They found that their bodies were so stiff that even taking a step back was a difficult thing for them.
They looked at Shen Chen’s approaching steps. An immense force was coming close to them.
“Bo… boss!” Zhao Zhen, trembling, opened his mouth!
“Boss! It’s us! How are you, boss?” The other two asked with horror.
Shen Chen’s eyes suddenly looked very cold. He rushed to them like a ghost. At the same time, his fist was raised high. The three of them let out a miserable howl.
There was a loud bang. After that, the three people only felt a bloody wind sweep by them. When they opened their eyes, in horror they saw a man lying on the ground.
“Let go of me! Let go of me, you devil!” A man was pressed on the ground, frantically twisting his body! The blood of the zombie covered his whole body, and he cried like a sow that was about to be slaughtered!
“Zhao Ze? Why is he here?” The three of them looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t know what to say for a while.
Shen Chen stepped on Zhao Ze, who was struggling. Shen Chen’s blood-red eyes looked coldly at Guo Yuan, and he said, “He was following you. None of you three noticed him. Each of you are to do a thousand push-ups as my punishment for you!”
Although Shen Chen’s eyes looked frightening, his voice became the same as before. His intimidating, intense look and deep voice gradually disappeared. Only then did the three people feel that the boulder in their hearts had been lifted. “Boss… Boss, what was wrong with you just now?”
“Boss, your eyes?”
“Boss, you killed all of these zombies?”
They all questioned Shen Chen at the same time. Shen Shen felt dizzy. He waved his hand slightly and said, “Let’s go back first. By the way, where’s Li Qi?”
Pan Di could not help but shiver a little. He began to stutter. “Li Qi, he… he’s dying…”
“Dying?” A trace of sadness flashed in Shen Chen’s eyes. “Take him back with us.”
“Yes,” the other three said.
When they started this journey, there were six of them, and when they went back, one of them would be dead.
