TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 120

Chapter 120: A Bad Feeling

They all got out of the car. Away from the vehicle’s concealment and protection, completely exposed in this empty environment, the feeling of unease grew stronger.

Gu Tangyue felt a chill down her spine and huddled close to Gu Tangxi. The cold wind inadvertently swept past her neck, and she turned her head in fright to see if a zombie was breathing into her ear.

Luo Shuyou wasn’t afraid or nervous at all. As long as Xie YunChuan held his hand tightly, he could skip and jump around, looking at everything with curiosity.

Whether lovers or relatives, everyone else was in pairs, except for Xu Yuzhe, who was all alone. Walking beside them, watching their intertwined hands, Xu Yuzhe averted his eyes, not wanting to see any more.

Oh well, with no ties, no one would be sad if he died, and he wouldn’t be saddened by the deaths of others if he lived. It was good, very good! It’s just that the cold air around him felt a bit chilly.

The feeling of unease grew stronger and stronger. Xu Yuzhe couldn’t help but step forward and ask Xie YunChuan, “Do you sense anything unusual?”

Xie YunChuan glanced at him. “Isn’t it unusual enough now?” From the moment they approached this place, it had been exuding an eerie feeling everywhere. Rather than asking if he sensed anything unusual, it would be better to ask if he had found anything normal.

Xu Yuzhe: “……!”

“I mean, do you sense the presence of any zombies?”

Xie YunChuan shook his head and said, “No.”

Okay, Xu Yuzhe stopped talking. He felt that the glimmer of hope he was relying on Xie YunChuan for was also precarious.

The group walked towards the towering building in front of them. Gu Tangyue looked up at the towering building, which stood black and oppressive, and felt even more depressed. She whispered, “Sis, do we really have to go in? Can’t we retreat? I have a lot of food in my space. This place just gives me the feeling that it’s my burial ground.”

Gu Tangxi whispered back, “To be honest, I have the same feeling, but we’re at the final step. There’s no reason not to kick the door down. We’ll die if we die. Fortune favors the bold. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Gu Tangyue’s face fell. “Boohoo, I don’t want a zombie’s son. Can’t we not go?”

Gu Tangxi: “Do you dare to stay outside alone? If you dare, you can wait for us here and don’t have to go in.”

Gu Tangyue tightened her grip on Gu Tangxi’s arm and shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, no, no, I’d better go in with you. I want to go in and collect things.” As the most important means of transportation, how could they do without her mobile space? What would they be doing braving death to enter this place for? They couldn’t just be purely looking for zombies to fight, right?

The most relaxed person in the entire group was Luo Shuyou. He was completely unaffected by the tense atmosphere. As long as Xie YunChuan was with him, he felt completely safe and secure, purely acting like he was browsing a shopping mall, curiously looking at everything.

Xie YunChuan seemed relaxed, but in reality, he was ready to strike. Except for the hand holding Luo Shuyou’s, the other hand was surrounded by vines and surging with energy, ready to unleash a deadly blow at any moment.

The reason for choosing to enter this place was because it was the tallest building in the city, located in the city center. Xie YunChuan and the others thought that the strongest zombie, as a hegemon, would choose this highest point overlooking everything as its territory. Therefore, the highest-level zombie in this city was most likely hiding in this building.

Whether it was a pity or a blessing, whether they should be disappointed or grateful, after they lingered here for a long time with full alertness, searching up and down and taking away many useful things and food, the zombie still didn’t appear.

If there really was a zombie in this building, as long as it wasn’t an unevolved ordinary zombie, it should have smelled their scent and come over long ago.

But this building still made everyone feel a strong sense of unease. So, after using themselves as bait to fish for half a day without catching a zombie, and it was getting late, they unanimously decided to find another place to rest.

Everyone was afraid but didn’t notice anything unusual.

Only Luo Shuyou, from the moment he entered the building, felt that the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. That thing was trying to control his mind, and he had several moments of being absent-minded and unaware of what was happening.

Fortunately, Xie YunChuan had been holding his hand tightly and hadn’t let go, otherwise, Xie YunChuan and the others wouldn’t have caught a zombie, but Luo Shuyou would have been fished away by that thing.

Xie YunChuan was holding Luo Shuyou’s hand tightly and focusing all his attention on guarding the surroundings, not noticing Luo Shuyou’s odd behavior at all. Because even when Luo Shuyou was bewitched, he never thought of breaking free from Xie YunChuan’s hand.

A pair of eyes hidden in the dark had been watching Xie YunChuan and the others’ activities. The food that had come this time was too sweet and tempting, and it was about to lose its patience. Unfortunately, fighting would be a bit troublesome, so it could only take things slowly.

Watching Xie YunChuan and the others leave the gate, the pair of eyes in the dark withdrew their gaze and completely disappeared into the invisible.

After getting into the car and circling around, without attracting anything, Xie YunChuan and the others finally stopped to rest in a small attic on the outskirts of the city.

This place wasn’t in the city center, nor was it outside the city, so it wouldn’t be too dangerous, and it would be convenient to go to the city center to scavenge tomorrow.

Arriving here, the sense of crisis that had been pressing down on them and making it hard to breathe for a long time lessened a lot. It was unknown whether it was their magical sixth sense warning them of something, or simply a psychological effect.

Being away from the city center meant being away from the former noisy crowds—now the zombie army. They all unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, they sat around and talked about the day’s events. After a conversation, they realized that, except for Luo Shuyou, everyone had felt that inexplicable threat.

Gu Tangxi said, “So, are we going back there tomorrow?”

It was hard to say why they would knowingly walk into the tiger’s den, but she knew that what they wanted now wasn’t just to live, but to live long and prosperously.

If they wanted to live long, they had to actively improve their strength. If they fell behind, they would be beaten. Their enemies weren’t just zombies, but also many ill-intentioned hunters…

Gu Tangyue didn’t want to go in again, but she was too embarrassed to say it, because she was always the one being protected.

Xie YunChuan was eager to improve his strength, but now he couldn’t guarantee that he could come out alive if he encountered the things inside.

If only one person felt this way, it might be anxiety causing them to worry unnecessarily, but if everyone felt there was a problem, then they had to take it seriously.

In the end of the world, there was the danger of losing one’s life every moment. He didn’t know if he should actively challenge this threat to life this time.
