Chapter 31 Choosing Direction

  My voice was shaking, and I myself didn't know how flustered I was at that moment, because I knew that this 'door' would not be locked from the outside unless someone had done so, otherwise people inside could open it and walk out, while those outside needed to turn the triangular iron handle.

  My words made Chenyan 'Lu' also look surprised and flustered, he hurried over, I stepped aside, Chenyan 'Lu' grabbed the door handle, his eyes were anxiously turning around, however, after a few turns, he still couldn't open this large iron gate.

  I saw Chen Xian 'Lu' slapping the iron door in the direction of the gate, roaring with anger: "You'd better be careful, or else I'll send you to jail, I will, I mean it!" Chen Xian 'Lu' seemed to be furious, shouting at the top of her lungs.

  I gazed at Chen Xuan 'Lu' with a hint of tension, thinking that this pale and tender boy would also have such a ferocious side. But the next moment I thought of Huang Yan Yan who was already injured and dazed, my anxiety grew even more intense. I said to Chen Xuan 'Lu', "Let's hurry up and think of a way to leave here quickly, or else Yan Yan..."

  I looked at Huang Yanyan with a difficult expression, her face seemed even paler and weaker than before, as I spoke. Chen Xuan also heard my words and was panting, turned around, frowned and looked at Huang Yanyan, then put her on his back again, and said to the other iron-faced man: "Can only go this way."

  I also nodded and followed her silently, I didn't know why, but subconsciously let Chenyan 'Lu' walk in front of me. I closely followed behind Chenyan 'Lu', and she also seemed to be walking in front of me subconsciously, as if not wanting me to face the sudden unknown and fear.

  Chenyan 'Lu' took a deep breath, slightly turned her head to look at me, I shook the fire extinguisher in my hand and nodded to indicate that I was ready. Chenyan 'Lu' directly grabbed the handle of the small iron door and pulled it open with force, the flashlight in her hand immediately shone out.

  "Ah, good, that bacteria virus isn't lurking around here, I reckon the smell of that fire extinguisher made it feel pretty bad hehe!" A rare smile spread across Chen Yan's face, and our tense nerves relaxed a bit at the sight of his smile.

  I gripped the fire extinguisher tightly in my hand and continued to follow Chen Xuan 'Lu' as she walked, the atmosphere along the way was eerily quiet. I furrowed my brow and looked at Chen Xuan 'Lu', who had Huang Yan Yan behind her, saying: "I always feel that something is off, why has it been so calm after walking for so long? Chen Xuan 'Lu', it was just here that I met that strange person with Yan Yan earlier!"

  After I finished speaking, the tense one pointed to that corner and said, "There is a fork in the road ahead. It was right there that Huang Yanyan encountered that despicable guy, or rather, he's not even human anymore."

  Chen Yan 'Lu' nodded after hearing my words, and carefully walked forward step by step with her back to me. I followed closely behind, but my eyes were fixed on the fork in the road ahead, and the short distance of just a few meters felt incredibly long, almost suffocating.

  "Hey, don't worry, he's not here anymore. Haha, don't be so tense, your face is all pale! Don't move, let me wipe the sweat for you!" As soon as Chen Xiang finished speaking, she ignored my stunned expression and directly lifted up her own clothes to wipe the sweat on my forehead.

  At this moment, my mind was as if 'covered' and I lost the ability to think. I quietly looked at Chen Xuan 'Lu', in these few seconds, I had a misconception in my heart, feeling that Chen Xuan 'Lu' and I must have been very close before, not the bad relationship mentioned by Liu Ke.

  "Haha, what's wrong with you? You're staring at me blankly. Not long ago, you were still scolding and hitting me, huh? Hehe, Xiao Mi, have you thought of our past?" Chen Xian 'Lu' said with a smile, still carelessly looking at me and chuckling.

  I helplessly rolled my eyes at Chenyan 'Lu' and said to her in a very depressed tone: "Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up! And you're disappointed, I didn't recall anything from the past, little white face! Hmph!" I then walked away with a very distinctive gait.

  "Eh eh eh, don't go that way, go this way, that road is definitely very dangerous!" Just as I was about to walk straight ahead, Chen Xian 'Lu' suddenly grabbed my arm in a hurry and frowned at the direction of the straight path.

  After hearing what Chenyan 'Lu' said, I furrowed my brow and asked: "How did you know that passage was so dangerous?" My eyes held a hint of suspicion and puzzlement.

  "Look for yourself, what are these things here? They're bloodstains, definitely the direction that virus-infected person escaped in. And there's some saliva it left behind. You said it was crashing into walls like a ghost before, right? Take a look at those footprints over there, you'll figure it out yourself!" After finishing speaking, Chen Xian 'Luo' took out her flashlight and shone it forward.

  I listened to Chenyan 'Lu' and was suddenly shocked, I quickly followed the flashlight in his hand and looked over, the next moment my face changed slightly, I saw that the direction where the flashlight shone was a dense patch of footprints, indicating that the passage was indeed the hiding place of that strange person.

  I shuddered all over as I thought of this, and the face of that strange man made me feel like vomiting, extremely nauseous. I didn't want to see that disgusting stranger again, so I immediately turned my head in the direction of another passageway and walked straight away.

  Chen Xian tightened the yellow swallow on his back and smiled bitterly, also quickly picking up the flashlight and carrying the yellow swallow away.

  After entering the left-turning passage, I don't know why I felt a little relieved, but deep down in my heart, I always feel that something is wrong, because this passage can't even see an ant, and before there were some small creatures that could be seen in the previous passages, but here there are none!

  I slowed down slightly, and at this moment, Chenyan, who was dazed behind me, suddenly bumped into me. I glared at her with a hint of annoyance and hummed, ignoring her.

  Chen Yan 'exposed' a awkward smile, rubbed her cheek which was hit and felt a little painful, looked at me puzzled and said: "Why did you stop? Why didn't you go?"

  I furrowed my brow and suddenly said to Chenyan 'Lu': "Let's take that passage with the strange person, this place is a bit eerie and doesn't feel right! I think this passage is more dangerous than the other one." I firmly looked at Chenyan 'Lu' and pointed to the ground of this passage.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' listened to my words and looked at me with a frown, looking seriously at the ground and walls for a long time before saying to me: "You didn't say it, I almost didn't notice, this passage is indeed very strange, there isn't even a small creature, not even a speck of dust, it's really strange! You're right! Danger!"

  I also nodded secretly, it seems that Chenyan 'Luo' is not stupid either, at least he deserves his academic performance. He turned around and directly beckoned me to go back, I didn't stop, but just took a slightly strange look at the end of this passage, feeling more and more eerie and strange, and went back without looking back.

  At this moment, the two of us are like headless flies, and as long as this road doesn't end, we'll keep walking until we find a way out. I'm thinking about the master of this place right now, that ruthless guy who cut off Huang Yanyan's fingers, and the one who blocked our retreat halfway, they must be watching us two like mice with amusement.

  I followed Chen Xuan 'Lu' back to the three forks again, Chen Xuan 'Lu' turned around and looked at my face, finding that I was holding the fire extinguisher tightly, he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, the virus-infected person is actually afraid of this, the high-heat-density powder in this fire extinguisher is their nemesis!"

  After listening to Chenyan 'Lu's' comforting words, my heart relaxed a little, but not much. Every time I think of that terrible monster with a hot mouth and face, my heart becomes very tense.

  The three of us immediately followed the passage where the strange person had escaped, and all the way, a wave of nausea made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't help but pinch my nose tightly because during the escape earlier, my mask was already lost, making it even more unbearable now.

  I accidentally stepped on a patch of slippery goo, scrunched up my face in disgust and looked down, while Chen Xian 'Lou' took out her flashlight and shone it under my feet. After I saw what it was, I almost couldn't help but throw up - it was the body of a dead rat.

  I hastily moved my foot away and then vigorously rubbed the sole of my foot against the wall several times, trying to thoroughly wipe off the disgusting sticky liquid from under my foot.

  I rubbed hard for several times before continuing to beckon Chen Xian with a furious face, walking forward.

  The two of us continued walking along the path ahead, but I always had a kind of illusion, as if I was walking behind Chen Xiang 'Lu', occasionally turning my head to look back at the situation behind me. I always felt vaguely that something was slowly following me and Chen Xiang 'Lu', making my heart tense with anxiety.

  But every time I turn back to look, there's nothing to see, just a vast darkness. When I stretch out my hand, I can barely make out the outlines of my fingers. It's always in the midst of this unexplained doubt that I continue on my way, walking very slowly, mainly because I'm a nervous and suspicious person. Finally, I've reached the end.

  I felt that after Morning Dew 'exposed' stopped, I didn't hold back my body, and slightly bumped into Huang Yanyan's back. My heart was slightly startled, at this time I looked towards Huang Yanyan, suddenly his face turned extremely ugly, because I saw that on the bandage of Huang Yanyan's small leg, there were actually a few snotty bugs.

  I saw the unusualness of Huang Yan in front of me, and I was suddenly frightened to let out a sharp cry: "Ah!" My sharp cry scared Chen Xian 'Lu' and he was still searching for the switch to open the folding fan door.

  Chen Xian 'Lu' turned around and looked at me with a very strange expression, saying: "Xiao Mi, what's wrong with you?" His eyes were full of concern.

  I trembled slightly, pointing at Chen Xian's 'exposed' back, and said to Huang Yan: "You see for yourself, Yan's legs have those bugs on them! Oh my god, there are bugs on her!" I quickly grabbed the nasal mites that crawled out of the bandage and smashed them to death one by one.
