Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Space of Apprehension_1

The ordinary and slow-moving zombies posed no real threat to you, and you easily dodged and distanced yourself from them.

"Where are you taking me?"

Hu Jing found that only when she was by your side did her heart feel at ease and peaceful.

She knew that she really couldn’t leave you, the annoying fatso, though you weren’t fat.

However, she was aware that her life was nearing its end. Unlike the previous drowsiness, she noticed her body was somewhat feverish, and she couldn’t see things clearly anymore; they were blurry.

You didn’t speak, and even though you held Hu Jing’s provocatively soft body in your arms, your heart was void of any lustful desires, filled instead with intense anxiety!

Because you could clearly feel Hu Jing’s body temperature rising!

Having read many academic articles about zombies before, you roughly knew there were three stages to transforming into a zombie. Judging by Hu Jing’s current condition, she had entered the second stage. You knew Hu Jing would soon fall into a coma due to high fever, and when she awoke again, she would no longer be Hu Jing.

"Brother Yun, help me find a quiet place, please. I don’t want to be in the city with so many zombies. I don’t want to be desecrated by the zombies after I die."

In her daze, Hu Jing saw two zombies not far away gnawing at a woman’s body.

"Jingjing, don’t worry, I will definitely save you!"

"Fatso, don’t you have a brain! I will soon turn into a zombie, and when that happens, you have to chop off my head, chop it off..." Hu Jing cried, curling up in your embrace. Though her body was feverish, Hu Jing’s heart felt extremely lonely and cold. Only the warmth of your body made her feel a bit more comfortable.

You didn’t speak, only quickened your pace.

Carrying Hu Jing into that building, just like before, no zombies followed. This also made you more certain of a notion in your heart. From Zhang Zhe, you had seen a glimmer of hope. Although you didn’t know if the reagent mentioned by Chun Mei could cure Hu Jing, you would try anyhow.

After all, this wasn’t the real world; it was just a game by Liu Bai, and right now, you were merely his playthings!

Even though you knew Hu Jing was Su Su, you had no idea how she came here, and you also didn’t know if she would be hurt in the real world if she sustained injuries within this array barrier.

You didn’t dare to bet!

Nor could you bet!

Taking the elevator to the eighteenth floor, there were three areas in total, and you brought Hu Jing to Area A. The so-called Area A was actually similar to a large laboratory, filled with various kinds of research items, but all were rather common and not the horror objects presented on TV.

According to what Zhang Zhe had said, a storage room contained an elevator that only accommodated two people.

You intended to leave Hu Jing in an office in Area A.

"No!" In her grogginess, Hu Jing sensed your intention and cried out hurriedly, "Don’t leave me alone here!"

Looking at Hu Jing in your arms, you tried to keep your voice very gentle, "Rest assured, I will definitely find a way to save you. Wait here peacefully for me, I’ll be back soon."

"No, I want to come with you!" At this moment, Hu Jing had lost all her past shrewdness and selfishness, resembling a petulant little girl, evoking pity.

"That place has monsters, it’s very dangerous, I can’t take you with me."

"I don’t care, even if I die, I want to die by your side." Although Hu Jing’s mind was somewhat confused, she clearly remembered one thing—she must not leave you; she did not want to die alone.

Unable to persuade Hu Jing, you had no choice but to carry her to the storage room. This

elevator was of an older design, and moreover, its doors had to be opened manually; in fact, it might be more accurately called a lift. You opened the iron gate, entered with Hu Jing in your arms, and noticed the lift had only one button.

After the lift started, Hu Jing nestled in your arms began to murmur slowly, "Mom, mom, I was wrong, I won’t play anymore... Mom, don’t go, Jingjing is very well-behaved, please don’t go... Mom, mom... Brother Yun... I’m very well-behaved, I won’t make you angry, please don’t leave me... Brother Yun..."

You gazed at Hu Jing and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

The Hu Jing in your arms was a contradictory union; she had two ways of thinking, one as Hu Jing and the other as Su Su. You couldn’t even distinguish who was who.

"Clack!" The lift came to a halt. Outside the elevator’s iron door was a very ordinary-looking wooden door, not like those high-tech pneumatic doors in foreign movies. You slowly opened the wooden door, and a very strange smell hit you—it was like the smell of disinfectant mixed with alcohol.

Once through the wooden door, you entered a corridor. Strangely, this level between the twelfth and the thirteenth was very tall, at least four meters high. The corridor was very long, seemingly without end, and because there were no lights, you could only see around five meters ahead.

Tsk!

Not having the Sen Luo Eye really is inconvenient!

Groping along the corridor wall, you found no switch resembling that for a light, so you had to proceed carefully, leaning against the wall. In such an environment, anyone’s heart would falter, and you were no exception. If not for Hu Jing in your arms, you would never venture into such a place.

"Drip!"

A drop of water landed behind you, startling you into an instinctive glance back, but there was no one there.

As you turned your head back— "Whoosh!"

A shadow flashed across your field of vision.

"Who’s there? Who is it!" you yelled out.

No one answered; only your voice echoed through the corridor.

"Huff, hiss—huff—"

Fear almost paralyzed your steps, and you could only lean against the wall, trying to regulate your breathing.

After a long pause, you gathered up your courage and continued forward. As you moved, you kept close to the wall, even tilting slightly—a natural instinct. In dangerous situations, people always seek something to lean on, especially corners, for it’s in such places that a semblance of safety is felt.

Walking, walking, you suddenly felt a void over your right shoulder; due to inertia, your body naturally tilted towards it, and with a few staggered steps, you entered a room with Hu Jing in your arms. Here it was even darker; you couldn’t see a single trace of light. In haste, your back hit something, and with a "snap!" light flooded into the room.

Your first reaction was to squint your eyes, and once they adapted to the brightness, the scene in front of you nearly made you cry out in shock.

What lay before your eyes were dozens, no, hundreds of human headless corpses! Most of these bodies were decayed, and a large number of them had their organs hollowed out, as if they had been ravaged by some beast, their appearance unimaginably terrifying.
