Chapter 5: Statues

Searchlights were discarded haphazardly on the filthy floor, and corpses were stacked neatly on top of each other like food being carried to the depths of the cavern by wild beasts.

That's right, it's a cave.

They are like herbivores that have strayed into the territory of wild beasts, and although they are vigilant enough, they cannot avoid becoming prey.

Zhuo Xuan's shouts still echoed in the corridor, but no one had time to look at him again.

He didn't have time to repent of his impulsive behavior, so he was pushed and stepped into the empty room that had once served as a center for the mentally ill.

The room was filled with the smell of blood mixed with feces; The searchlights that had been discarded on the floor were still on, and the light emitted by a staggered path of light gave the illusion of a psychedelic illusion.

Everyone's eyes refocused.

In the corner of the room, a light gray concrete sculpture about two meters tall stands quietly.

In an instant, the strange conversation between the sculptor and the resurrected sculpture came to Zhuo Xuan's mind, and the hairs behind him stood up, and an unbelievable weirdness crept into his heart.

The sculpture has its back to everyone, and from this angle, it can barely be considered humanoid.

Its head was huge, like a giant tumor, but its limbs were short, its hips drooped, and its proportions were out of proportion.

It's like a thief who has been caught in a bag, and he's thinking about it head-on; The mottled red or yellow stains on the body are the source of the smell of this room, which makes people sick.

This statue is what they call the "beast"!

Zhuo Xuan's temples seemed to be hit hard by an awl, and his heart fluttered with the flow of blood.

It all looks crazy.

However, a question flashed in Zhuo Xuan's heart, so inappropriate.

What does it have to do with the cue "eyes"?

If it's not a "beast", why is it here? How were these corpses created?

Questions filled his heart, but at this moment, no one said a word, and even the sound of his heartbeat seemed so noisy in the dead silence.

The man who walked into the activity room first was already covered in cold sweat, he took a step back, his legs still felt soft, but fortunately, the sculpture that was identified as a "beast" was not unusual, which made him feel like he was in the aftermath of the disaster.

"It shouldn't be a 'beast,'" the man said with a crying grin on his face, his voice trembling slightly, and a little excited about survival.

But even with his mask on, the fear in his eyes was vivid: "It should just be β€”β€”β€”β€”uh-"

The man's voice stopped abruptly.

It was as if he had been pinched by an invisible hand, his eyeballs bulged out, and his voice became weak, leaving only the sound of frantic inhalation.

This moment seemed to be frozen, Zhuo Xuan's eyes widened, his body was as stiff as a corpse, more like a statue that had existed since ancient times.

"His neck!"

Crying voices were heard among the passengers.

As if in response to this shout, the man's neck bent uncannyly.

"Click, click......"

in the camera. The sound of bone cracking that had appeared was beating vividly on everyone's eardrums.

"Ahh

A piercing and shrill scream of horror rang out in Zhuo Xuan's ears, but his legs felt as if they were nailed to the floor, unable to move a single bit.

The man's death ended almost in the blink of an eye, and the passengers around Zhuo Xuan had already scattered and fled the moment they found out that the man's neck had been broken!

Including the bus driver, he could no longer maintain an indifferent and normal attitude. Because even such a "veteran" feels the threat of death!

One by one, they pretend to be like big-tailed wolves, and their ability to escape is greater than anyone else's!

Zhuo Xuan's heart quickly complained, he only felt that his nerves and limbs became numb, and he had no strength even if he wanted to escape.

"I can't die here, I definitely can't die here!"

Blood, corpses, death, beasts!

The crazy side of this world is completely revealed in front of the young man's eyes, and the scene begins to become slow and blurry.

The ugly statue in the corner turned slightly.

"I heard that before people die, they will recall all the things they have done in this life."

This thought arose in Zhuo Xuan's mind, and he was like a little beast caught in a net, covered in blood, waiting for death to come.

The hunter approached step by step, and the despair was slowly expanding, like a net of heaven and earth, suddenly covering!

Zhuo Xuan stared at the ugly sculpture in the corner, as if he wanted to imprint the existence that killed him deeply in his heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

After a long time, Zhuo Xuan, whose body was stiff in place, still did not wait for death.

"What's going on?"

The passengers who fled in a hurry also seemed to notice that the "beast" was not chasing after them as expected, and they stopped and looked around in disbelief.

The torrential rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the overwhelming wind seemed to sweep through the entire ward.

Zhuo Xuan was still staring at the sculpture, not daring to blink at all, he tentatively moved his steps, and his strength was accumulating little by little.

Then, when your body retreats out the door, you can run away!

That's right!

It is absolutely stupid to face such a terrible thing head-on, and as a complete "newcomer", you should put your own life first!

Zhuo Xuan's heart was screaming frantically, and the joy of still being alive made him want to jump high and reach the sky!

At the moment when he turned into the corner of the wall of another bunker, behind him, the sound of chaotic footsteps came, and the screams of horror rang out immediately after, heartbreaking!

There is absolutely no going back!

The entire ward once again resounded with the footsteps of the passengers fleeing.

The price of temptation is the loss of another fresh life, and no one wants to be a decoy anymore!

The killing of the humanoid statue did not seem to be over, and he appeared in the hallway, and after twisting the neck of the returning passenger, he disappeared once again!

"He seems to have the ability to flash, and he can break people's necks at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, killing them with a single blow."

The screams were incessant, and Zhuo Xuan didn't even know how many passengers were left at this time.

However, he did not dare to stop in the slightest.

Running wildly, a violent explosion sounded one after another in the distance, making Zhuo Xuan feel unreal.

"They can get guns. Branch? ”

Zhuo Xuan had slowly calmed down and gradually regained his ability to think. The fishy sweetness that gradually rushed to his throat in his lungs made him involuntarily stop, crouching on the ground, panting frantically.

He knew that the "beast" was slaughtering. Kill, maybe the next one will be your turn.

But what was the trigger to stop the killing? Why does it keep attacking after everyone?

Zhuo Xuan only felt dazed, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, only a darkness enveloped him.

A sense of despair slowly crept over me.

Everyone will be like the corpse that fell in the hallway, and the escape will be in vain after all.

No matter how far you flee to the ends of the earth, the killing never ends.

As long as you see that statue, it won't end without paying the price of death!

Wait a minute...... See!

"Yes, I saw it!" Zhuo Xuan roared like a madman, his roar echoing throughout the hospital roomβ€”

"Don't look at that statue, everybody!"
