Zhang Lang fainted.
The instant he was transported to this world, his body slumped to the side and he slammed his head against the car window, unable to wake up no matter how others called out to him.
The only senior member had fallen unconscious, and the newcomers panicked, especially Su Jie, who kept shaking Zhang Lang's shoulders and calling out, "Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang, what's wrong with you?"
"Could it be heatstroke?" the driver asked with concern. "Should I pull over for a bit, first..."
"boom!!!"
A sudden, loud explosion interrupted his words. The highway exploded, and the powerful flames and blast wave overturned the bread truck, sending it flying off the road and tumbling down the hillside with a crash...
…………
After an unknown amount of time, Su Jie slowly opened her eyes.
She was in a dimly lit little room with a single, dim light bulb hanging from the ceiling. The room was surrounded by rough earthen walls with rows of wooden shelves piled with various crude and enormous tools. There were also many scattered debris and blackened bloodstains on the floor, and a putrid stench assaulted her nostrils.
I shook my groggy head; my last memory was the explosion in the car…
"Where am I?" Su Jie tried to move, but found that her hands were tied behind her back and she was leaning against a thick wooden pillar.
"You're awake?" a low voice asked from behind. "Shh, be quiet, don't disturb them!"
Su Jie was taken aback. She turned her head slightly and discovered that behind her, tied back to back to the same pillar, was Tong Fei, the sacrifice who had come to this world with her to do the mission.
"They are..."
Su Jie frowned, but then saw Tong Fei raise his head.
Su Jie followed his gaze and saw a simple square wooden door in the corner of the ceiling, with a makeshift wooden ladder leading to the upper floor. Listening carefully, she could hear heavy, chaotic footsteps and clattering noises coming from upstairs, as if someone was smashing something.
"This is the basement..." Tong Fei whispered, "I woke up a little earlier than you, but I pretended to be unconscious and secretly saw what those monsters looked like..."
Tong Fei paused at this point.
"It's terrifying, you wouldn't want to face them..."
Su Jie swallowed hard. "Where are the others? Where's Zhang Lang?"
"I don't know..." Tong Fei shook his head: "I was here when I woke up, with the two of us and the driver. Ten minutes ago, he was dragged away, and I don't know what happened to him now."
"Zhang Lang is still unconscious..." Su Jie gritted her teeth, "In that state, if he were to be involved in an explosion, could it be..."
"I don't have time to worry about others..." Tong Fei gestured towards Su Jie's direction with his chin: "Could you hook that over to your left?"
Su Jie looked in the direction he indicated and saw a rusty, sharp knife lying on the ground a little over a meter away.
"I'll give it a try!" Su Jie nodded, turned her body, and stretched out her slender left leg to reach it, but no matter how hard she tried, her calf was about to cramp, and she was still a few centimeters short.
"Let's work together..." Tong Fei said, "Let's walk around the pillar halfway. I'm a bit taller than you, so I should be able to reach it!"
Su Jie nodded, and the two of them stood up together, switched positions, and Tong Fei finally reached the sharp knife. After some effort, he managed to get his hands on it.
The rope was thick, the knife was rusty and somewhat dull, and with their hands tied behind their backs, it was difficult to exert force, making the cutting very strenuous. As time passed second by second, the rope broke bit by bit, causing both of them to sweat profusely.
Suddenly, the sound of a lock being opened came from the door on the ceiling.
"They're coming down!" Su Jie exclaimed in alarm, turning to look at Tong Fei, only to find that he had tilted his head, closed his eyes, and was motionless.
"Pretending to faint?" Su Jie was taken aback, then imitated him, closing her eyes as if she had never woken up.
With a loud bang, the thick wooden door was roughly pulled open, followed by heavy breathing and the creaking of footsteps on the wooden ladder.
Su Jie narrowed her eyes slightly and finally saw the monster's appearance.
Standing over two meters tall with an extremely robust physique, he wore coarse cloth shorts and worn-out leather boots; his upper body was bare, covered only by a butcher-like leather apron, his exposed arms and shoulders bulging with twisted veins and fleshy growths, and his right hand held a huge, rusty iron hook; on his enormous bald head, his facial features were distorted and squeezed together, the only thing that could be clearly seen was his gaping maw that stretched almost to his ears, with jagged fangs protruding from it.
This thing, although roughly humanoid and dressed, looks like something other than human.
As the monster drew closer, the stench of blood mixed with the putrid smell grew stronger, and even though Su Jie didn't move, sweat beaded on her forehead.
Finally, the monster came to the two of them, its ugly head lowered, looking at the two who were pretending to be unconscious.
Stared at by its terrifying gaze, as if surveying prey, and smelling the pungent stench of blood, Su Jie felt immense pressure and began to tremble uncontrollably…
After all, she was just a female college student born in a peaceful era. No matter how brave she was in ordinary times, she had never faced life and death directly, let alone this inhuman monster that did not exist in reality. It was already a miracle that she didn't scream or lose control of her bladder; the trembling was a completely uncontrollable physiological reaction.
The ugly monster also noticed Su Jie's movements, tilted its head, and stretched out its huge iron hook towards the girl.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Sensing the approaching danger, Su Jie gritted her teeth, suddenly twisted her body, braced herself with the side of her left leg, raised her right leg, and kicked towards the monster's crotch!
"Thump!" Through the thick leather vest, Su Jie felt that she had kicked something soft. The monster seemed not to have expected to be countered. It suddenly cried out in pain and bent over.
Seeing that her kick was effective, Su Jie changed her posture, raised her long leg, and kicked at the monster's lowered head!
But this time she didn't succeed. The strange man reacted quickly, raised his hand and grabbed Su Jie's ankle. His huge hand almost completely enveloped her slender calf!
Her calf was grabbed, and Su Jie struggled desperately, but the strange man's large hand was like an iron clamp, making it impossible for her to break free. He straightened up, raised one hand, and lifted Su Jie upside down, as if he were holding a chick.
Su Jie's hands were still tied to the pillar, held upside down, her arms pulled backward, almost dislocated, causing her to cry out in pain.
The monster, however, showed no mercy and raised its menacing iron hook at the suffering girl.
But at that moment, Tong Fei, who was tied back to back with Su Jie, suddenly sprang up and crashed headfirst into the monster's arms, his sharp knife plunging straight into the monster's throat!
"Waaaah!" The monster groaned in pain, released Su Jie, and flailed wildly, instinctively reaching for Tong Fei.
Tong Fei twisted his wrist, the blade making a half-circle in the monster's throat before suddenly pulling it out, ripping the trachea, esophagus, and artery to shreds, and then retreating.
The monster dropped even the iron hook, clutching its neck and staggering backward before slamming against the wall with a thud. Blood spurted from between its fingers, and gurgling sounds came from its throat. Its massive body convulsed with each spurt of blood, and soon it went still.
This scene left Su Jie dumbfounded. Although she knew it was a life-or-death mission, the naked bloodshed before her eyes still shocked her greatly.
"Don't just stand there!" Tong Fei knelt down and cut the rope for her. "There might be his accomplices up there. Grab your weapons and get ready to fight!"
Su Jie looked at Tong Fei's wrists, which still bore the marks of the rope: "When did you cut the rope?"
"Before he comes down..." Tong Fei tucked the dagger into his waistband, looked around the room, and finally chose a weapon that resembled a spear. He then picked up a machete and handed it to Su Jie: "Is the weight suitable?"
Su Jie took the machete and continued, "So you pretended to be dead when it came down?"
"I don't know the monster's strength, and I'm not confident I can kill it with a single blow," Tong Fei explained. "The best time to strike is when you've drawn its attention!"
"You knew he would definitely pick me?" Su Jie frowned.
"A normal person wouldn't be completely unresponsive in this situation," Tong Fei said, looking at Su Jie. "You'll definitely create a flaw to attract his attention."
Su Jie recalled Tong Fei's performance of remaining motionless as if he were truly unconscious, and couldn't help but swallow.
