Chapter 1011: Survival Game

At the same moment, on the ground above Ling Mo and the others…

“Listen up, everyone. Ling Mo’s instructions are for us to circle around and capture those survivors, then lure the zombies on the street towards that building nearby. Once the street becomes relatively safe, we can enter Rosen Company. By then, Ling Mo and the others should be out and can join us. This way, the mission will be considered complete. The rest will be much simpler. Got it?”

Mu Chen and the Miracle Squad had gathered in an alley, from where they could see both the company and the building clearly. As he repeated the orders brought back by Skinny Monkey, he gestured towards the two structures.

“We got it, you’ve said it once already…” The group replied in unison.

Gu Shuangshuang timidly asked, “So… are we just going to leave him?”

“No need to worry…” Mu Chen replied.

Ye Kai scoffed, “No matter who it is, if they want to survive in this world, they will face risks. Since the captain said so, it means he’s prepared to take on the risks. Stop worrying unnecessarily.”

“I!” Gu Shuangshuang’s face flushed red, muttering, “Who’s worrying unnecessarily…”

“Enough!” Mu Chen interrupted them with a frown, continuing, “At times like this, the best strategy is to split into two groups, but Skinny Monkey mentioned that Ling Mo discovered those people have the ability to temporarily transform into zombies, which means their danger level has greatly increased, so we should stick together…”

“Hehe!”

Before he could finish, a soft laugh suddenly echoed nearby.

“Someone’s here!”

The group immediately pressed against the wall, nervously looking in the direction of the sound.

Mu Chen signaled to Skinny Monkey, who nodded in understanding and carefully pressed his ear against the wall.

“Go check it out.” Ye Kai tightened his grip on his knife and said.

Zhang Xincheng nodded at him, then suddenly leapt onto the wall. He climbed swiftly up the wall, reaching nearly four stories high in the blink of an eye. After scanning the area, he signaled to those below.

“Let’s move.” Ye Kai twirled his knife and quickly dashed along the wall towards the front.

Mu Chen and the others followed closely…

“Hehehe…”

The laughter rang out again… finding a Survivor here was, of course, an unexpected delight for Mu Chen and his group… But the sudden and eerie appearance of the other party cast an indescribable and ominous shadow over everyone’s hearts… Who would laugh in such a place? Aren’t they afraid of attracting Zombies? Even if they don’t care about the Zombies, they should still be wary of the humans they are “surrounding”…

“Ha ha ha!”

The laughter suddenly took on a different flavor, as if the person found something extremely funny, laughing uncontrollably…

Mu Chen and the others quickly approached, soon arriving at a rather secluded corner of an Alley.

It seemed to be the back door of a shop, the narrow alley was filled with many wooden crates and a lot of white tarpaulins… There were some reddish-brown spots visible on the tarpaulins, and beneath them seemed to be a Dark Shadow…

“Be careful.”

Mu Chen signaled to them and then cautiously walked over alone.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

The laughter was coming from the pile of wooden crates. And as Mu Chen approached, the tarpaulin was still slightly trembling.

Skinny Monkey cowered behind, while Gu Shuangshuang covered her mouth.

Despite being less than ten meters away, the approach felt incredibly long.

She wanted to warn Mu Chen, but in such a situation, she could only hold back tightly. For a time, the alley was filled only with this increasingly joyful and eerie laughter… ṛ𝒶Ŋ𝐎𝔟ΕŞ

“Creak…” The tarpaulin twitched again.

Mu Chen stared at the Dark Shadow for a moment, then slowly extended the Short Knife.

At this moment, not only did he hold his breath, but Ye Kai and the others behind him also didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

As the blade of the knife slowly lifted the tarpaulin, the true face of the Dark Shadow was finally revealed. But just as Mu Chen caught a glimpse, the shadow “whooshed” and retreated.

“Come out!” Mu Chen’s expression changed, and he kicked towards the pile of wooden crates.

The crates, already rotting, collapsed with a loud “clang” as soon as Mu Chen kicked them.

As the wooden crates fell apart, a shocking scene unfolded…

“Ha ha ha ha…”

There was a man nestled inside the crates… his eyes red, his face and body smeared with blood. At his feet lay a corpse, the very foot of which Mu Chen and the others had seen earlier…

The focus was on the fact that while laughing, this person was continuously tearing at a piece of arm he held in his hand. This arm clearly belonged to the corpse, bearing the same butterfly-shaped mark as the body. He laughed while gnawing on the corpse with blood-stained teeth. As he locked eyes with Mu Chen, he suddenly burst into louder laughter, flinging the arm aside and lunging at Mu Chen, stumbling and crawling.

“Don’t run, don’t, I don’t want to go…” Though he was the one charging forward, his words seemed to contradict his actions, creating a bizarre scene that startled Ye Kai and the others behind.

Mu Chen quickly dodged, preparing to counterattack, when suddenly the back door of the shop swung open, and another staggering figure emerged.

“Do you know? I love observing human nature…” This person was also covered in blood, holding another corpse by the hand, its eyes wide open, seemingly unwilling to rest in peace.

“Initially, I wanted to play this game with you all. Survival game, have you heard of it? Trap all of you in that building and slowly torment you to death. In absolute despair, what would you do? But alas, the game was disrupted… Yet for these humans, it was the shattering of their long-held hope. But this is fine too; I enjoy games that exceed my expectations.”

After speaking, he suddenly tossed the corpse to the ground and began laughing maniacally: “These words, I’m relaying them for someone else! Do you know who this corpse is? He was my best companion… But we had to attack each other; the one who survived got to come here and speak to you.” As he spoke, he stomped on the corpse twice more, continuing to laugh, yet his eyes were now streaming with tears.

“What the hell are you talking about!” Mu Chen stepped back a few paces, glaring at them. These two gave him an unsettling feeling; judging by their eyes, they had clearly turned into zombies, yet they retained a remarkably clear ability to think and speak. Additionally, there was an odd aura about them…

The one who shouted “no” while still crawling forward… and the one who cried while laughing and abusing the corpse…

“Possessed by ghosts, playing such disgusting tricks!” Ye Kai suddenly cursed coldly, stepping forward with his knife.

“Yeah… yeah!” Mu Chen quickly grabbed Ye Kai, saying, “Ye Kai, you’re right, these people are probably not acting of their own will now… From what he said, Ling Mo must have done something down there, disrupting their plans. Before we came to find these people, they had already been played with like this. We don’t know what’s happening with Ling Mo now, but on our side…”

“Alright…” The man finally stopped stomping and continued speaking to Mu Chen and the others, “What you said is basically what I wanted to express… I originally just wanted a simple game, but what can I do? The game ended before it even started. So, let’s start a new game now. You should know, that guy named Ling Mo has three very pretty girls with him, right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Mu Chen’s face immediately changed dramatically.

“One of them, with long hair and big eyes, is now within my sight. Want to make a bet? If we catch you first, I’ll kill her. If you dare fight back, I’ll kill her. And then…”
