Deep in the Living

Chapter 102 Wild Cats and Dogs
Instead of walking directly towards the gate, Luo Di turned around and went back to the bus.

He raised his foot and kicked the bandaged driver... Bang! He kicked the driver out of the cab and fell heavily on the edge of the tunnel.

Perhaps due to the fragility and old age of his flesh, the fall directly broke one of his arms and legs, and his neck was almost torn apart, barely connected by a piece of skin.

There was no blood flowing out of the body, which further proved that this was a dried corpse whose blood had been drained.

As for who this driver is, in Luo Di's opinion, he should be one of the missing persons. He doesn't know what he went through to become like this.

Looking at the driver who was kicked several meters away, with broken arms and legs and only a piece of skin attached to his head, Roddy felt relieved and turned around to reunite with the team.

"My fellow countryman, you are quite cautious." Yu Ze gave a thumbs up to express his praise.

This is completely instinctive for Rody. Having watched countless B-grade movies, he deeply loves the role of the killer and has also learned a very important truth - "finishing the fight".

The team reached the end of the tunnel.
The rusty iron gate is embedded between the walls.
A wooden sign that has been severely eroded by wind is hung on the side of the door, and only the word "retirement care" can be vaguely seen.

The heavy iron door not only has a ground lock, but also has a thumb-thick iron chain wrapped around the railings, completely sealing it off.

After confirming that the door could not be opened by normal means, it was finally Anna's turn to show off her skills.

She had already confirmed the material and hardness of the iron door, so there was no need to take shortcuts. She could just break it open with brute force.

Just as she was about to take out the axe from her backpack,

Yu Ze, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt something. He counted with his fingers and glanced behind him.

I don't know when,

Suddenly, a humanoid shadow walked out from the depths of the dark tunnel, but it was too dim to make out its specific face and body shape.

The shadow took a syringe and inserted it into the driver's brain, and tore off the talisman on his forehead.

At the same time, a copper coin was already between Yu Ze's fingers.

He could have interrupted the action by throwing the coin out, but just before throwing it, he hesitated, put the coin back and pretended that he had not noticed anything.

The shadowy figure quickly disappeared into the tunnel after injecting some substance into the driver.

Swish!
Blood vessels twisted like tentacles and grew out of the driver's wounds, connecting his head, hands, and feet. Not only that, the driver's body functions surged, and he jumped back into the cab almost instantly.

The noise was also noticed by Rody later. When he turned around, the bus had started again. He didn't expect that the body could be restored after being broken into pieces.

Yu Ze then shouted:
"Be careful! The driver seems to have been resurrected by something."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bus accelerated towards him.

The time left for them was not enough to break down the door, and the only option was to dodge.

The moment before the impact,
Luo Di and Anna jumped to the left at the same time, while Yu Ze dodged to the other side.

boom!
The high-speed bus crashed into the sturdy gate, uprooting several ground locks that were inserted into the ground.

The iron door that was knocked open was also sucked under the wheels, directly causing the bus to overturn.

The battery pack located under the vehicle was also punctured by the sharp part of the iron door. The intense friction caused by the rollover also caused the temperature to continue to rise, and tiny flames appeared at the gap in the battery pack.

The explosion is coming!

despair!
The sound of tongue snapping spread.

Rody, who had just dodged the impact by rolling, smelled danger again with a snap of his tongue.

Just as he was about to pull Anna and continue running away, he felt his body being lifted up by something strong.

Anna adjusted her state even faster, lifted Rody onto her shoulder with one hand, and ran away quickly.

boom!
A violent explosion was heard from behind, and flames shot into the sky.

Fortunately, the tunnel was still strong and only had some cracks but did not collapse.

The two people who had already run dozens of meters away were not affected by the explosion.

Anna stared at the burning bus at the gate, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find Yu Ze's trace, but she did not find any human movement.

"Hey, you can put me down now." A voice came from over my shoulder.

"Oh~"

Only then did Anna realize that Rody was still on her.

The two of them slowly approached the burning bus. Anna kept calling Yu Ze's name along the way, but there was no response.

Rody seemed to see the problem.
“Don’t shout, there’s no way that guy would get killed in something like this.

It is possible that the pseudo-human who created this corner-like space used the car crash just now to forcibly separate us. It is also possible that Yu Ze deliberately separated us by taking advantage of this accident. "

"deliberately?"

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't make much of a difference either way. Next, let's stay as close as possible and don't get separated. We'll go in when the fire is a little smaller."

"Okay." The fire gradually died down.

With the illumination from the flames, the scene behind the gate gradually became clear.

A comprehensive nursing home with a hospital style stands at the end of the night. The open front yard area is lit only by tiny street lamps as sparse as an old man's hair.

The two men took advantage of the gap in the broken wall, crossed the still burning wreckage of the bus, and officially entered the territory of the nursing home.

Anna looked up and exclaimed, "It's huge! This building has at least ten floors... I thought it was a smaller building with only three or four floors. This size is comparable to the "Gap", right? What kind of pseudo-human can form such a large corner-like space by himself?"

Luo Di shook his head. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Such a large corner-like space that can be hidden in reality has already surpassed his current understanding of pseudo-humans.

This can only prove one thing, that the fake person behind the scenes is quite special, and his "years as a fake person" and "depth of his knowledge" are not comparable to those of ordinary mature fake people.

Perhaps in comparison, Mr. Guo, who won the "Fourth Middle School Incident", is not much worse.

However, Rody was not afraid at all, and he was no longer the same person he used to be.

He was even a little excited and expectant. He was excited about having such a precious prey to hunt, and at the same time he was looking forward to the ultimate purpose of the squad leader's choice of this event.

Perhaps sensing Rody's excitement, something seemed to be wriggling under the skin of his brand new left arm, as if it was about to pierce through the skin and be exposed.

"Roddy, look at the lawn!"

Anna's words interrupted Rody's temporary state of excitement, and his eyes turned to the lawn area of ​​the courtyard not far away.

I was attracted by the nursing home and the dim lights so I didn't notice the abnormality on the lawn at first.

A large number of cat and dog carcasses were scattered around the front yard, with a few even occasionally falling onto the concrete road.

“Did the stray cats and dogs in the city accidentally get in here? Or were they deliberately lured here? Did the environment in the nursing home lead to their mass death, or was there some other reason?”

Rody also smelled a foul odor soon after, not just the odor of a corpse, but also a faint mixture of other odors.

"Wait here for me. I'll go check on the body."

Considering the uncertainty and danger, Rody raised his hand to signal Anna to wait where she was.

He moved closer to the nearest wild cat corpse.

After all, Rody was connected to the real hell and had the strength to fight against mature pseudo-humans head-on. Anna was still only a human being and only had a corner-transforming item, so he had to do the initial exploration as much as possible.

bass!
The zombie knife was pulled out from the backpack and held firmly in his hand.

The wild cat's body gradually appeared before his eyes. It had no obvious external injuries but was completely dead from old age. Its body was dry and wrinkled, and its hair was just stuck to its skin, which would all fall off at the slightest movement.

"The corpse is similar to the driver before... Could it be that after entering this nursing home, one's own aging will also accelerate? Unlike the weight loss in my last nightmare, this is a real physical aging."

Keep getting closer.

When the distance is less than 1.5 meters,

The wild cat that was supposed to be dead...hiss! After making a strange cry, its shriveled eyes suddenly looked at Rody.

The whole body suddenly jumped up and rushed straight to Rody's face.

Not only that,

Hiss, hiss, hiss~ Tiny blood vessels actually emerged from under the skin of the wild cat, with a length of 5 to 10 cm outside the body.

Faced with the situation, Rody could have cut it off in mid-air with a knife, but the stench he smelled made him very concerned.

Moreover, although the wild cat's body was shriveled, there was an obvious bulge in its abdomen.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Rody decisively gave up the idea of ​​killing directly.

He raised his arms in front of him.

Snapped!
The dead cat jumped up and landed on his arm, scratching it madly.

Not only that, those thin blood vessels that emerged from the body wanted to drill into Rody's arms, as if they wanted to inject some substance.

But the entire right arm was indestructible, and even if the wild cat's claws were broken, it could not scratch the skin.

【Deep Zombification】

Give it a hard shake!
The dead cat was thrown five meters away by brute force.
Before it could stand up,

Swish!
The high-speed spinning zombie knife flew over accurately and cut his body into two pieces.

Just as the dead cat's body was being cut open, a discordant gray aura emanated from its body, as if it was this aura that caused the cat to age and mutate.

If you kill at close range, there is a high chance that this breath will be absorbed into your body.
