The World Below Surface

tanding when those things would be awakened, he preferred to take the initiative into his own hands.

Afterwards, the men joined him.
When he knew they couldn't leave the flat, he decided to eliminate a group of “idiots” in advance.
Otherwise, how would he cope if they turned into zombies in the flat?

“So, since we all have the same goal, maybe we can work together for a while?” He Lou coughed a few more times, barely easing away the discomfort coming from his throat.

Hearing He Lou's words, Li Fang Zhi also quickly calmed down, “Indeed, I hope we can work together happily.”

Now the situation was stronger than the people.
Even if she and He Lou joined forces, they might be unable to finish each other off.
The two masters invited had no intention of intervening.
Besides, Lu Yan looked like someone who was mad and didn't want to die, their enemy was a ghost, a zombie, and there was no need to fight Lu Yan to death here.

Moreover, if Lu Yan wanted to kill them, he could have poisoned the meal long before.
Leaving the three of them behind meant he could cooperate adequately.

Lu Yan: “All right.”

The sky was a little darker, with dark clouds and a cold, wet wind rustling through.

“It doesn't look like we can wait until tomorrow.” Senior Brother Lin said indifferently, “Just for now, let's go up and look.”

He took a brass bell out of his sleeve and gently shook it.

There was no sound, but the few people present seemed to hear a long, long bell.

Another bell rang, and they leapt forward in a neat step.

“Let's go.” Saying this, the teenage old and sullen Master Lin took the lead and opened the door to his home.

The rest of the few people followed, yet they all couldn't help but be shocked for a moment once they saw the scene inside the building.

In the other three rooms, the doors were wide open, and a trail of blood trailed out from inside the doors, stretching from the stairway to the deep, almost invisible upper floors.
There was no need to think about it.
These homes must be in a bad way.

Perhaps the entire building's occupants had ……

The thought of this possibility made He Lou's heart skip a beat, and when he looked at Lu Yan again, he was calm and unruffled on the other side, as if nothing was on his mind.

Even if these are neighbours who have lived together for so long.

He Lou suddenly had a bit of cold teeth.
What about these neighbours if Lu Yan had killed them because he sensed their malice?

When they went together to ask questions, they could perceive that the neighbourhood of this building was quite good.
They must have usually treated Lu Yan very well.

Was he that cold-blooded?

The group stopped on the fourth floor.

The remaining three doors were open at the moment, except for one forbidden door.

He Lou looked at the forbidden 404 door and said in a deep voice, “Master, this is the place.”

Master Lin looked at the 404 room door and knitted his brows, “Are you sure this was the place?”

Lu Yan suddenly revealed a cynical smile and shook his head, “No, no, no, you all guessed wrong.”

“This building, 404, has always been unoccupied.
The person who chops the meat every night is Guan Yunlong of 405 ah ……”

Saying that, he reached out and took hold of the handle of room 404's door, pressed it downwards and pulled it open backwards.

Behind that door, there was a snow-white wall!

It was an aged wall with some cracks.

“The 404 harmonic has a very bad meaning.
Initially, the developer never intended for the 404 to be inhabited.
This room is all filled up.” Lu Yan laughed heartily.

He Lou's mind suddenly recalled a phrase that Huang Mao and Feng Chu Chu had each said.

“There is nothing to see, just ……
a white patch.”

“……
Why is it still red when you look through the cat's eye?”

What I saw before in 404 was just the wall.

Whenever Lu Yan described it, he said, “he lives upstairs.” He never mentioned the door number because he took it for granted that there was something wrong with 404, so he ignored Guan Yunlong, who looked normal at 405.

It turned out that there was an oversight a long time ago.

He could have spotted it.

With another glance at Lu Yan, smiling extraordinarily happily, He Lou didn't even feel angry any more.

A chill rose up his spine.

“What exactly do you want to do?” He couldn't help but ask out loud.

“What do I want to do?” Lu Yan repeated the words with a bit of surprise and then said with a smile, “Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I'm going to live.”

When the outsiders came, the zombies were bound to be awakened, and he didn't want to die at the hands of the ghosts, let alone the outsiders.
Those things would be awakened anyway, so he chose to sacrifice the outsiders who were stupid and would get in the way of his plans first.

When the zombies were fed, they wouldn't be on him.

He could live a little longer and hold on until the end.
