Chapter 98: Chapter 91 Dangerous Environment
"Don’t be afraid, Smith, the bizarre rules are related to food... Think carefully, and you should be able to figure it out."
Smith’s back chilled as he desperately searched for more clues, but a glimpse of the black hole in the old woman’s mouth left him uncontrollably tense.
He felt his brain had turned into a rusty spring, endlessly repeating "the bizarre rules are related to food..." without coming up with anything else!
However, just as he was about to take out a compressed biscuit, it was quickly snatched away by the old woman.
The black mass devoured the compressed biscuit at lightning speed, even touching his fingers. An icy and supernatural power surged along his fingertips into his heart.
That suffocating sensation from a cold death made goosebumps cover Smith’s entire body.
"God, I actually touched that black mass!" Smith quickly pulled back his hand, feeling his limbs becoming somewhat unresponsive.
But the old woman’s glaring, blood-red eyes continued staring at him.
The rigid voice sounded mechanical, and the unfocused eyes carried a touch of numbness and confusion: "I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry!"
"Give me something to eat."
How could she still ask me for more!
Could the rules not be as I imagined?
Can I just get out of here?!
Anthony Smith’s face twisted, sweat pouring down. Suddenly, he saw Wang Hao’s waving gesture outside the tram.
He jolted and frantically threw a compressed biscuit from his bag under the seat!
"For you... for you!"
The old woman hurriedly squatted down to pick up the biscuit, but she was too fat, at that moment, to reach it.
So she exerted force on her arm and, with a "crash," flipped the bench, uprooting several screws from the seat.
That strength was incomparable to that of a human.
"Fuck me, God help!"
While the old woman squatted down to pick up the biscuit, Smith forcibly leaped over her, vaulting from her body.
The instant he touched her flesh, Smith smelled a rotten greasy odor, much like that sour stench from a kitchen drainpipe. Merely a whiff induced an urge to vomit.
"I’m such a fucking genius! I used the freak as a vaulting horse!"
"I should have gotten off the tram with Zhao earlier!"
Sweating all over, under the terrifying pressure of possibly being killed at any moment, his legs were a bit wobbly as he fled from the tram like the wind.
The old woman remained indifferent to his hurdling action.
Maybe such a feeble act wouldn’t provoke a strong retaliation.
Smith escaped the tram.
"Hey, Smith, congrats on escaping the first danger!"
"Ha... hahaha." As Anthony Smith breathed a sigh of relief, there was also a hint of despair. He was just a C-class newbie, trained for less than two years, a common person drafted for having "Spiritual Power Vision" as an innate ability.
He really couldn’t fight at all.
An intense premonition of death made his heart race... Today would be the day he died.
Yes, today was his day of death.
Unless—hang onto someone’s coattails!
"What are you stunned for, this is a freak!" Wang Hao, hiding at the side of the vehicle, shouted at a group of civilians, "Don’t just stand there, run for your lives!"
"Run, run!"
Unfortunately, most people were so frightened by such a weird situation that they sat still in their seats as if they were pigs or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, especially after seeing that indescribable black hole in the old woman’s mouth.
Only two lesbians seemed more alert, their faces pale as they scattered potato chips on the ground and squeezed their way out from near the old woman.
After eating the food off the ground, the horror-stricken old woman stood up once more and began to beg, step by step.
This time it was the already dead tram driver’s turn!
She mumbled to the dead driver, robotic: "I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry!"
"Give me something to eat!"
The scene was utterly chilling.
Wang Hao watched, his mouth dry and eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Obviously, the dead driver couldn’t respond to anything.
"Zhao... where do we go now? To that building? Or somewhere else? It’s too dangerous here."
Smith wiped away his cold sweat and gritted his teeth, "I still have some food on me. If we encounter something like that again, I might be able to avoid some danger..."
"Besides... We can’t let the red light shine on us forever, can we?"
Wang Hao hid in the shadow of the bus, staring at the scene inside the tramcar, "Have you figured out these weird rules yet?"
"Not yet... just a little bit."
"Then why run? Do you think the tower is safe? There could be even more terrifying oddities inside."
Smith was stunned and tugged at his temples. He also understood that what Wang Hao was saying was likely the case.
"You climb up the tramcar and watch from above to see if there’s anything similar coming this way. I’ll keep an eye on this lady here and analyze her rule, let’s split up the tasks. I suspect this damned place is filled with these things."
"Okay." Anthony Smith was actually on edge to the extreme, but having someone instruct him to do something calmed him down a bit.
He now knew that a reasonable division of labor was the most important thing and didn’t care who took the lead or provided support.
Climbing onto the tramcar was supposed to be simple, but because his body went soft, it took him nearly 10 seconds.
The red light in the sky cast a chill over him, giving him the illusion that the vitality in his body was being slowly drained by the sunlight.
At this moment, the old lady had repeated the phrase "I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry! Give me something to eat!" three times.
Her tone became increasingly fierce and ferocious, and her whole aura grew more eerie.
And right at this moment, the passengers who were several beats behind finally realized that something was amiss—the black mass in her mouth was stirring restlessly.
The next moment!
The words coming from the old lady’s mouth changed!
She revealed a strange smile and said to the long-dead driver, "I’m so hungry... then I’ll... eat myself."
The extent to which she opened her mouth was simply unthinkable, and the mercury-like blackness expanded like a liquid, swiftly enlarging.
In just one bite, the driver’s corpse had vanished from sight!
The air fell into a silence like death itself.
Witnessing all this, Wang Hao’s face turned ashen.
He was grateful that his "Beast Intuition" superpower provided him with the right options, or else he might have died the first time he encountered this old lady.
But he had to admit that the script was well-designed, and the setting of reducing completion by reloading was reasonable. This strangeness would be very shocking if encountered suddenly, but after spoiling it with a reload, it felt less impactful.
"So not giving food triggers their killing rule..."
The next second!
The passengers in the car broke out in screams, thrown into complete chaos.
But with the old lady blocking the exit at the front of the car, it would be extremely difficult to escape without an exit.
"I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry! Give me something to eat!"
The horrific scene happened once again!
The old lady began to beg a plump elderly woman for food, but the old lady had been scared senseless, her lips trembling as she pressed back continuously.
With everyone pushing to the back, where could she possibly squeeze to?
"Zhao, we’re doomed... I see more chubby beings wandering back and forth not far away, and they seem to have noticed the commotion here and are slowly moving this way. There might be many of them from all directions."
Anthony Smith, hearing the screams from the car, also had an ugly expression.
But the sight from above was even more terrifying—just one "old lady" was already too much to handle, and now there seemed to be many more similar oddities!
Under these circumstances, escaping was extremely difficult.
No matter where one fled to, they would be caught.
Upon hearing this news, Wang Hao also sweated from his forehead. He watched the "old lady" on the tramcar become increasingly fierce, and as horror was about to unfold once again, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, "Smith, let’s first try to save these people, as many as we can..."
"Hey, that lady, give it food, quick give it food!"
But good advice is no good to damnable ghosts, too many people are too foolish to be saved. Unless one is willing to use that "Holy Water Talisman."
After repeating "I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry, give me something to eat" three times, the old lady stiffened for a few seconds.
Then, from her throat, she eerily squeezed out the words, "I’m so hungry... then I’ll... eat myself."
The exit was blocked by the "old lady," and no one could escape.
Then came the turn of the middle-aged Asian man.
This man was like he had gone dumb, sitting in his seat, holding his head and eyes shut, muttering incessantly, "하느님!가호해주세요 God bless you."
Old Wang sighed from outside the tramcar, "Ah Xi Ba."
Why were there such foolish people in the world? Death was knocking at the door, yet they played the ostrich.
Of course, playing the ostrich could sometimes be a strategy.
But this old lady here was clearly not the type that could be easily fooled.
As expected, after repeating "I’m so hungry... I’m so hungry, give me something to eat" three times, the old lady said, "I’m so hungry, then I’ll eat myself."
This fool didn’t even resist and offered up his life!
