Chapter 05: The Haunted Building (I)

The slightly disheveled conductor let out a couple of sounds and responded in a somewhat bewildered voice: "I don't know"

Fortunately, it did not pursue us

Liang Zuo curiously asked: "Aren't you going in?"

Gazing at the stars in the sky, Liang Zuo could not help but feel a sense of loneliness and sadness

Liang Zuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's ask everyone not to go in for the time being."

So you are also this timid

The concrete ground surrounding this building exhibits signs of cracking, and several concrete blocks have been turned over.

He could not help but feel fortunate that he had not opened that sofa earlier. The person inside must have been infected by an animal carrying the virus, but he did not expect the strength to be so overwhelming, as it had almost instantly knocked down four people

The primary issue is to determine what exactly is going on with this building

Only two people are still standing outside the main gate

The chief attendant neatly tied her hair with her hand, and on the position of her left hand's ring finger, there was a delicate ring

Zhou Qi widened his eyes in disbelief

A cat suddenly meowed behind me

The chief attendant silently directed the staff to assist the passengers in entering the building in an orderly manner

Chief Conductor

It is only a few hundred meters from the airport terminal entrance, and it is generally unreasonable to build an elevator apartment here. Firstly, the noise near the airport is extremely loud, and almost no one is willing to live here. Secondly, the area around the airport should be highly sensitive, making it unlikely to permit private residences. According to Liang Zuo's memory, there should not be such a building on the maps and guides of the airport.

What you are doing is ... ...

He took out the long wrench that he had previously kept in his bag and tapped it against the outer wall of the building, producing a metallic clanging sound

The chief attendant said thank you, appearing relaxed, and put on a coat. Then, he slowly walked towards the airport hall

He asked the chief attendant, who was arranging and assisting the passengers in entering the building, "What is this building used for?"

Finally, they arrived at the building, and a group of people collapsed on the ground.

Meanwhile, Liang Zuo let out a huge sigh of relief, sitting against the wall on the ground and tearing open the wrapper of a Snickers bar to replenish his calories

Liang Zuo took out his phone—he had lost the one he was using before, and he did not know where it had gone; this was one of the three he had picked up.

He began to scrutinize the building that possessed mysterious powers

He did not, when being attacked by the green-haired cat while sitting on the plane, urgently escape into the airport hall; nor did he, when collecting items and helping Zhou Qi.

He pulled out a blanket and covered himself, taking a selfie with his phone

However, the network still could not be accessed as he had anticipated

Soon, around one hundred people all entered the building

Gave the monster cats the middle finger

After a pause, Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, we will wait for you upstairs"

Unbeknownst to him, the green-haired cats had already surrounded him, no more than three meters away. A rough count revealed there were over ten of them. Given the explosive power and strength they had previously displayed, there was almost no way for him to evade a pounce from Liang Zuo. He gritted his teeth and slowly took a step back, feeling his back pressed against the wall. The icy sensation seeped through his down jacket, making the slickness of the cold sweat on his skin even more pronounced

He looked up at the building, where there were scattered lights inside, yet he did not see a single person peering out from the windows. There were at least more than 100 passengers who had entered to seek refuge; why were they silent?

Liang Zuo glanced around and swung the long wrench forcefully at the wall

Liang Zuo smiled and shook his head: "No need for that. Please pay attention to safety."

If this is the last night, then leaving behind a smile is also good

After enduring the most painful few seconds, he finally realized that this group of cats could not approach the building, perhaps because there was something about the building that they detested or feared

Watching the departing desolate figure, Liang Zuo couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling anger and helplessness for the first time today

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to normal

In the end, he took off his clothes and handed them to her: "Put them on, it's quite cold outside."

After several attempts, I almost injured myself, yet not a single white mark was left on the wall

Zhou Qi turned back to look at him as he led the couple to the door: "Come on, Liang Zuo, the three of us can look out for each other."

I do not wish to go in for the time being

Liang Zuo remains in excellent physical condition. Over the years, he has developed a peculiar habit of staying calm and clear-headed, especially in moments of utmost urgency

It appears to be thirty-three stories high, a rather ordinary single-block elevator apartment. Under the illumination of the mobile phone light, the exterior wall presents a grayish-white color. Upon touching it, the texture lies between that of enamel and amber, smooth to the touch, adorned with wave-like patterns. Liang Zuo squatted in the corner of the wall, where he discovered a very interesting spot under the light.

He did not dare to look back, hearing the screams of someone behind him, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects crashing against the wall and the shattering of glass. Unable to resist, he glanced with his peripheral vision and saw that several crew members were already lying on the ground, while a person with a green head was crouched over their bodies, tearing at them.

This group of cats seemed to understand the meaning behind it, each arching their backs and baring their teeth, appearing ready to attack at any moment. They circled around Liang Zuo with small steps, yet they could not get any closer.

Liang Zuo gritted his teeth and stood firm, refusing to move his feet

Then, with force, he threw a Snickers bar at a cat's head. The cat nimbly dodged and bared its teeth at him, showing no interest in the food that had fallen to the ground

Liang Zuo wanted to call her, but he gave up. He finally remembered that the captain also had a ring of the same kind on his finger

Will someone come to rescue us

He made a self-deprecating remark

When the music ends and the crowd disperses, only a group of monsters and an invisible tomorrow remain

With two sharp clicks, he took a picture of the green-haired cat, intending to post it on social media to see if any survivors would be willing to give him a like

You, come in... it's very dangerous outside. Let's think of something else once you're inside.

He instinctively wanted to retreat into the building

Was this building here before

What exactly have we encountered

It is as if this building has fallen from the sky and crashed into the ground, or as if it has sprouted from the earth.

He and this group of strange cats stared at each other with wide eyes

No.

Liang Zuo opened the bag and handed over half a Snickers and two bottles of drinking water

Liang Zuo

Liang Zuo crouched down cautiously, threw his backpack on the ground, and then extended his hand

You are right, there is a problem here. I have worked here for eight years, and this building had not appeared before takeoff... However, do we have a choice? Good luck... I am going to find him

He turned his head to take a look, and every hair on his body stood on end

She smiled sadly

The people around him, upon hearing his words, glared at him in anger: "If you are not going in, what right do you have to block others?"
