Chapter 147: The Feast (6)

Lu Xun clinged to the edge of the door, and Belle held her breath.

They could hear a sharp and piercing scraping sound in the hallway outside the door, it sounded like someone was scraping the blackboard with their fingernails, and both Lu Xun and Belle knew that it was the cat demon climbing on the wall, and the cat demon crawled along the hallway, checking door by door, and it poked its head into the room to look.

The cat demon approached the cell where Lu Xun and Belle were hiding, searching for the human...... The cat demon is a very intelligent creature, it can sense that a human is here, but it doesn't know which room it is in. The cat demon pushed open the iron door in turn, and the "crunch" sound came closer and closer.

Cold sweat ran down their necks and soaked through their collars, and there was a sudden silence outside the hallway.

This sudden dead silence made the hearts of the two of them skip a beat, Lu Xun quietly pulled Belle over, hugged the girl in front of him and covered her mouth tightly, and then hid behind the door with his back against the wall, took off the night vision device and extinguished the flashlight.

Belle was trembling all over, and if it weren't for Lu Xun holding her, she would have screamed in surprise.

"Crunch-" The iron door was slowly pushed open.

The two of them held their breath, and a woman's head slowly poked in, its neck as long as a snake, Belle had never seen such a cat demon, its body crawled on the wall outside the door, but its head could poke through the door...... The monster had a deformed neck half a meter long, soft enough to coil.

Lu Xun Belle and this monster are only one door apart, Lu Xun covers the girl's mouth and nose with one hand, and quietly clenches the pistol with the other hand.

He didn't know if he could kill this monster, and he didn't want to clash with this thing until he had to.

The cubicle wasn't much bigger than the kitchen, and the cat demon's gaze swept over the empty room to make sure there was no one here, a little disappointed, and slowly retracted his head.

A moment later, there was another scraping sound in the hallway outside the door, and the sound of doors opening gradually faded away.

Lu Xun let go of Belle, and the two collapsed to the ground.

Cold sweat poured out from the pores of the whole body like opening the gate and releasing water, Lu Xun and Belle both gasped, and the girl raised her hand to wipe the sweat, "What the hell was that just now?" Cat demon? โ€

Lu Xun turned his head to look at her and nodded.

"I stumbled into it while I was looking for a survivor, and it was hiding in a corridor on the second basement level, hunting like a chameleon...... The thing's neck is actually more than a meter long, and it can shoot its head out and bite its prey. โ€

Lu Xun was really startled when he remembered that he had just encountered this monster, its body was hidden in the dark, and only one head dangled in front of him, which at first glance looked like a snake with a woman's head.

"What do you mean by zombies?" Lu Xun asked.

"I've been hunted by a horde of zombies." Belle replied, "There were zombies in every room, and they were pouring out to chase me. โ€

Lu Xun frowned and pondered for a moment.

"I've checked, there are no zombies here, and there are no survivors." Lu Xun shook his head, "There is only the cat demon, I walked all the way, and all the rooms I saw were empty. โ€

The girl was a little surprised, she got up and leaned over to the door to look out, the hallway was empty, and all the infected who had just pursued her had evaporated.

"This ...... What's going on? Belle was stunned, with a slight headache.

"Probably a hallucination." Lu Xun looked around and gently twisted his index finger and thumb, "Have you noticed the heavy artillery?" From the moment we went underground, there was a strong fishy smell in the air...... I originally thought it was something rotting and giving off the smell, but now it seems that it should not be a simple smell of putrefaction, this gas should have a nerve-numbing or hallucinogenic effect, like nitric oxide, you inhale this gas in a highly stressful situation, so you hallucinate. โ€

"Hallucinations?" Belle was taken aback, she looked at Lu Xun in a daze, "Why aren't you affected?" โ€

Lu Xun scratched his head, "I haven't been affected by these things since I was a child, narcotic hallucinogens or something, they don't work for me." โ€

"So...... Those children I saw were also hallucinations? Belle muttered.

"Kid?" Lu Xun was a little confused.

Belle's face suddenly became flustered and pale.

With a "dang bang", the rifle detached from Belle's hand and slammed into the floor. The girl's hands were shaking so hard that she couldn't even hold the handle of the gun.

Then she shivered like chaff and staggered to a step, barely able to stand.

Lu Xun stood behind her, and his eyes slowly widened.

There were three small corpses on the floor in front of them, the three children were soaked in a pool of blood, the clothes on their bodies were dyed black with blood, and the original color could no longer be seen, the youngest boy looked to be only six or seven years old, he was shot in the head, half of the heavenly spirit cover was removed, and his pupils were dilated in a daze.

The other two were girls, one older and one younger, the younger looked thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a dress, with only half of her face left, lying on her back in a pool of blood, one godless eye staring at the ceiling. The older girl looked to be no more than fifteen years old, her body nearly shredded by bullets, her hands and feet and limbs broken, and she was shot in the center of her eyebrows, and the back of her head exploded. This time Belle really saw their faces...... What dead faces, what exposed backbones, what bloody faces, in fact, did not exist, they were all Belle hallucinations.

The only thing that wasn't hallucinatory was the bullet Belle fired and the bodies of the three children.

Lu Xun was also stunned, he could see that these three children were once living normal people, but why did they die tragically here?

Belle slowly approached, she crouched down and stroked the child's body, the girl in the white dress staring blankly at her. If she hadn't been shot, she would have been a pretty blonde girl.

And that little boy...... It's also cute.

If they were alive at all.

Now that I think about it, the sister in the white dress girl is actually Belle, these children are hiding in the operating room, they noticed the movement, and when they saw Belle, they thought it was a rescuer, so they cautiously opened the door and came out.

Belle thought of the girl in the white dress timidly calling out to her sister and touching her, she was so frightened and flustered, she needed someone to comfort and protect her, she mustered up enough courage to dare to approach her, she must have thought for a moment that she was saved...... But the oncoming bullets left her in a pool of blood.

He killed not only her, but also her sister and her brother.

"No...... Don't......"

Belle fell to her knees in a pool of blood, trembling like a wobble, and she slowly picked up the children's corpses, hugged them in her arms, and buried her head in her head and wept.

Crying almost heartbreakingly.

Lu Xun stood silently on the side, he saw Belle crying like this for the first time, he had felt this kind of pain in his heart, except for crying, he couldn't think of a second way to vent, this kind of sadness and pain tightly grabbed your internal organs, you can't wait to open your chest to see if your heart is still there.

Belle held the body of the girl in the white dress in her arms, and she managed to find the survivors, but they all died at her own gunpoint.

Lao Jia was silent for a long time.

"Is this also the Night King's trick to play with people's hearts?"

Lu Xun didn't answer, and the girl's hoarse cry echoed through the dead corridor.
