Without waiting for anyone to react, Eve had already opened the door.

The room was pitch black and the few people could not see anything clearly, but when the light seeped into the room, something suddenly moved in the corner.

"roar--!"

A short zombie suddenly emerged from the shadows and rushed towards Eve, who was closest to the door. Its sharp claws went straight to her face. Everyone screamed, "Eve! Watch out!"

But the next moment, Qi's figure was already blocking Eve, and Shadow Tail pulled it mercilessly, and the zombie flew straight out and hit the wall heavily.

Eve stopped Qi who was about to chase after him and said, "Don't kill it, tie it up."

A hint of confusion and grievance appeared in Qi's dark eyes. He glared at the zombie, then swam over reluctantly and tied up the zombie, who was struggling to get up, from head to toe.

"Oh my god, it's so fast, it scared me." Seeing the zombie unable to move, Fang Yong patted his chest with lingering fear, "Let me see... Hmm? It's just a first-level one."

The zombie was thin and kept roaring after being tied up. It didn't look like it was rational. The body was not well preserved, with large areas of ulceration on its face. It could only be vaguely seen that it was a female zombie.

The level is too low, no wonder he has no resistance to Shang Qi.

"What should we do now?" Lin Bing nodded at the female zombie, "Use it to threaten Hua Sha?"

But to be frank, he couldn't see anything special about this female zombie that was worth Huasha's risk of showing up.

"Don't worry," Eve shook her head. "Once the barrier is broken, the barrier master will naturally sense it. We don't need to make any effort. She will take the initiative to find us."

She seemed very interested in the entire room, and after she finished speaking, she began to pace slowly around the room.

"Then let's go wait downstairs," Fang Yong rubbed his arms, feeling a little embarrassed, "Don't you think... this room smells quite sour..."

It’s not that Fang Yong is a pampered person, but just imagine how bad the smell would be if a dead body was locked in a sealed and airtight room for a long time.

Everyone agreed and was about to leave the room when Eve suddenly asked, "What is this?"

She bent down and picked up a white object half the size of a fingernail from the ground.

Lin Bing leaned in closer, his expression becoming indescribable: "...Isn't that a tooth?"

Eve thought for a moment, then took something out of her pocket, placed it next to the tooth, and said, "Look, do they belong to the same person?"

Lin Bing looked over subconsciously and saw that there was another tooth in Eve's hand.

Lin Bing: “???”

"Where did this tooth come from?" He stared at Eve in disbelief. "You have a hobby of collecting teeth?!"

Eve gave him a strange look: "What are you thinking about? Am I a pervert?"

Lin Bing: "..." Aren't you?

"Forget it, there's no point asking you." Eve turned around and waved at Shoufeng, "Come and smell it."

Shoufeng stood over silently, his nose twitching a few times, and nodded to Eve: "Same taste."

"Is there something wrong with these two teeth?" Song Shuye also came over and asked doubtfully, "Did you pick them up?"

Eve nodded: "I just picked up one, and I found the other one at the iron gate."

"So they're actually all in this room?" Fang Yong guessed, "Could they be the teeth of this zombie?"

"No," Eve denied him, repeating her previous explanation. "Zombie teeth are usually severely decayed, but these two teeth are so well preserved, they can only be human teeth."

"They're not perfectly preserved, are they?" Lin Bing pointed at Eve's palm. "Their roots are all broken."

Eve was stunned and lowered her head.

Although the two teeth were intact, their roots were fractured to varying degrees, as if they had been violently smashed.

"Eve!" Fang Yong suddenly shouted as if he had discovered a new world, "I have teeth here too!"

He knelt on the ground, felt around, picked up a tooth, and said in surprise: "Look!"

Eve took the tooth from him. Like the other two, it had several rough cracks at the base. She placed the three teeth side by side and compared them. The color and size were very similar. "...They all belong to the same person."

She pondered for a moment and said to everyone, "There might be some scattered teeth around here."

Everyone bent down in disbelief, and actually found some teeth in other corners of the room, about a dozen in total.

"Oh my god," Fang Yong stared at the pile of teeth on the table and shuddered. "So many?! This guy has lost half his teeth, right?!"

"Whose teeth are these?" Song Shuye also felt strange. When they searched the power station, they didn't see any other people, not even corpses. It was impossible for teeth to appear out of thin air, right?

Eve stared at the teeth, her brow furrowed.

She felt as if she had grasped something, but she was still a little short of it.

Suddenly, Shoufeng turned his head sharply and said in a deep voice, "Here they come."

"who……"

Fang Yong had just opened his mouth when he heard a scream: "Get away! Don't touch her!"

It's flower sand!

Everyone's expressions froze as a short figure appeared at the third-floor staircase. Huasha's face flushed crimson as he stretched his legs vigorously while raising his hands high. "Don't touch her!!"

“Bang!”

Everyone felt something flying through the air, bringing with it a strong gust of wind that pushed them to the ground. A loud thud echoed overhead, followed by Lin Bing's painful roar: "Fuck!"

They looked up hurriedly and saw Lin Bing pressed against the wall, his body stretched out in an unnatural position. He looked like he was being hit hard by a transparent object. Although he had exerted so much force that his veins were bulging, his limbs remained motionless.

"It's the barrier," Eve said coldly, "She put the barrier on him."

"Put that zombie down," Huasha's eyes were red, "or I will kill your companions!"

She suddenly clenched her fists, and at the same time Lin Bing groaned in pain. Her whole body began to tremble convulsively, and her bones groaned heavily, like a branch that could not bear the weight, and would be broken in an instant if the weight of a feather was added.

"She's pushing harder!" Fang Yong screamed, "Lin Bing will be crushed to death!"

"...Damn it!" Song Shuye roared, and swept the air whip towards Huasha fiercely, but the latter raised his arm, and an air barrier rose up, blocking all his attacks.

"Let her go!" she repeated.

Everyone froze.

They didn't expect that Huasha had strength beyond their expectations.

Fang Yong glanced at the sweaty Lin Bing and said in a hoarse voice, "What should we do?"

Song Shuye's face turned pale, and the hand holding the air whip was shaking. Shoufeng took a step back and looked at Eve silently.

Eve narrowed her eyes slightly.

what to do?

There are only two choices before them now.

First, they ignored Lin Bing’s life or death. Since the zombies were already in their hands, they could continue to use this as a threat to force Hua Sha to let them go.

The second option is to save Lin Bing, but then they will have to give up the advantage they have worked so hard to maintain.

Song Shuye's voice trembled: "Eve, let Qi..."

Eve interrupted him: "Don't be impatient."

Facing the surprised looks of several people, she curled her lips and smiled.

She doesn't like being at a disadvantage - she has to take the initiative.

Eve suddenly took a step forward.

This action clearly irritated Huasha, and the little girl's voice suddenly became sharp: "Don't come over here!" Beads of sweat fell on her forehead, and her whole body looked like she had been fished out of the water, but she clenched her fists tightly, "If he moves another step, I'll kill him!"

Song Shuye and the others immediately became nervous, but Eve smiled and said, "Okay."

"What?" Huasha was stunned.

"Just kill him," Eve said softly.

"It's a simple thing for you, right?" A smile spread across her eyes, but her gaze was like an icy knife, piercing Huasha's throat, leaving a chilling sensation. "Just a little more strength will be enough."

She took a step forward.

"Look, he's like a helpless fish, pinned to the chopping block by you."

Huasha was trembling all over: "Don't...don't come over!"

Eve turned a deaf ear and took another step forward.

"Do you know what a person who's been crushed to death looks like? I've seen it. Their entire body is crushed into a thin layer, their internal organs and bones all crushed and flowing out through the ruptured skin. Whether it's their eyes, heart, head, or limbs, they'll all melt into a mass of rotten flesh..."

As she spoke, the expressions of the other people began to turn pale, as if they were about to vomit in the next second.

"Shut up!!" Huasha screamed.

Eve smiled.

She tilted her head lazily, her slightly curly red hair sliding down her delicate jawline. Her beautiful facial features were glamorous and could not be ignored, but at the edge of that extreme richness, a dark abyss was faintly emerging.

"You can't kill him," she said in a firm tone.

"Just because you have the power to kill doesn't mean you can use it."

She stopped and bent down slightly.

At this time, Eve was only one meter away from Huasha.

"Little girl," she said with a smile on her face, "killing is not that easy."

Huasha was trembling, with big drops of cold sweat sliding down her forehead. She was like a string stretched to the extreme, and would break in two in an instant if a little more force was applied.

"You...I..." She murmured, her pupils dilated into confusion, but suddenly she straightened up, "Get out! Don't come over here!"

She screamed and pushed forward with both hands as if to throw them away: "Go to hell!!"

Eve was prepared: "Seven!"

Qi understood, and Shadowtail pulled hard, throwing the female zombie against the wall so hard that the wall was dented several inches. "Ouch!"

Huasha twitched in fear: "Stop!"

Taking advantage of the moment when she was distracted, Qi Qing stepped forward, picked up Eve, and kicked Hua Sha at the same time. The latter flew several meters and hit the wall of the corridor.

"cough!"

At the same time, the control over Lin Bing was released, and he fell heavily to the ground. Everyone rushed over to help him up: "Lin Bing!"

"Don't crowd in the room," Eve snapped. "Get out!"

The room is a natural secret room. If it is sealed by flower sand, none of them will be able to escape!

Everyone came to their senses and rushed out. Eve was the last one to leave when she caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye and paused slightly.

"Eve!"

Hearing the screams of the crowd, Eve subconsciously raised her head and just caught a glimpse of Huasha struggling to get up.

There was a large gash on her forehead, blood was flowing out, staining her face, but her eyes were still full of anger, and she clapped her hands vigorously: "Give her back to me!"

“Crack!”

The iron gate made a sharp sound, and the wall connected to the door frame began to stretch, extending like soft dough, and constantly converging towards the center of the iron gate. Eve suddenly realized something and immediately wanted to speed up her pace, but Huasha was one step faster than her. She slapped her left palm hard, and Eve was pushed away by a huge force and hit the wall behind her heavily.

"roar!"

Qi roared angrily and kicked the ground hard, trying to rush in. However, the iron door was almost sealed by the wall, leaving only a shallow opening. Qi was too far away from the door and it was too late.

"Seven!" Eve thought quickly, "Throw it in!"

A black shadow flashed in the air. Qi swung the shadow tail hard, and the zombie narrowly passed through the gap and was thrown into the room.

"Boom!" The iron gate slammed shut.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the door that was blocked by the wall.

Eve... Eve was trapped in the barrier with that zombie!

***

"Eve!" Song Shuye slammed the wall hard, "Are you okay?!"

Fortunately, Eve's voice could be heard faintly through the wall: "...It's okay."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

With Eve's incredible powers, she should be fine.

"Seven?! What are you doing?!" Fang Yong suddenly said in surprise.

Everyone turned around and saw Qi slowly standing up. His cold face seemed covered with a layer of frost, but the corners of his eyes were so red that blood seemed to be dripping. A low and hoarse roar rolled from his throat, and his shadow tail stood up, aiming at Huasha threateningly.

Song Shuye had a bad feeling: "Seven?"

Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he wanted to kill Huasha!

"Stop!" Song Shuye hurriedly stopped him, "How can we get out if we kill Hua Sha?!"

But Qi didn't listen at all. He slapped Song Shuye away and rushed towards Huasha!

Song Shuye stood up: "Stop him!"

Lin Bing quickly shot ice spikes at Qi's feet, but the latter dodged them all. He cursed, "Damn! He's too fast!"

Song Shuye waved the air whip, trying to block Qi's movements, but Qi twisted his body lightly in the air, and his shadow tail lashed towards the air whip. Under the huge impact force, the air whip instantly turned into pieces, but the shadow tail remained intact.

Huasha struggled to get up from the ground, but just as she raised her hand, Qi was already above her, and the shadow of a giant hawk fell over her head.

"Seven, stop."

At the critical moment, Eve's faint voice came from behind the wall.

Qi's figure paused, and his shadow tail stopped in the air. Everyone hurriedly grabbed him. Song Shuye also swung out an air whip, wrapping it around him three or four times.

"Damn it, why are you so excited?!" Lin Bing tapped Qi's head vigorously. "Eve isn't dead, is it really that serious?!"

He was about to curse again, but Qi glanced at him coldly, his dark pupils seemed to contain a pool of deep winter. Lin Bing was stunned and swallowed his words back.

"Seven, I'm fine." As if she could see his expression, Eve warned him from behind the wall, "Don't attack her."

Qi originally wanted to struggle, but after hearing Eve's words, his shadow tail swung unwillingly and then retracted it in disappointment.

Eve asked, "Is Huasha okay?"

Fang Yong hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay! I didn't hit her."

On the other side, Huasha slowly stood up, holding his injured forehead, his vigilant eyes fixed on everyone.

"Huasha," Eve said lightly, "let me out."

When Huasha heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched sarcastically.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" she said coldly, "As soon as the barrier is opened, you will immediately attack the zombies."

Eve let out a low laugh.

"Do you think it's safe inside the barrier?" she asked. "Aren't you curious why I haven't turned into a zombie even after being locked up with it for so long?"

Huasha's expression changed.

But she quickly relaxed her facial muscles: "...Maybe you've been bitten by her, and you're just tricking me into opening the barrier."

Eve sighed.

She originally wanted to trick Huasha, but the little girl had been fooled by her and was no longer impulsive, so it was a bit difficult to provoke her to open the barrier.

Eve changed her mind and thought, why not just control the zombie directly?

When the barrier closed, she used her own blood to draw a line around her body. The blood contained her magic power, and no zombie dared to cross the line easily. The zombie in front of her was the same. It stood closely beside Eve's blood line, its turbid eyes full of desire, but it didn't dare to get any closer.

Eve held her chin and observed the zombie. They were so close that she could even see through the zombie's gaping mouth...

She suddenly stopped.

The zombie's mouth opened into a huge arc, but where the teeth should have been, there was nothing.

A ray of light flashed through Eve's mind, her pupils shrank, and she suddenly realized something. She stood up abruptly, stepped out of the blood line, and reached out to grab the zombie!

“Ouch!”

As soon as Eve's body left the boundary, the restless zombies pounced on her and knocked her to the ground. A heavy muffled sound was heard as the zombies and the man fell to the ground.

"Eve?!" Everyone shouted when they heard something strange happening inside the barrier.

And Qi was pressed tightly against the wall, his stiff back like a taut bow, and the anxiety in his eyes was almost overflowing.

“…I’m fine.”

After a while, Eve's voice came from the wall, sounding a little breathless.

She fought with the female zombie for a while, and the two rolled on the ground. Although the female zombie was not very strong, her body kept shaking, making it difficult for Eve to aim. She got angry and kicked it hard in the chest: "Don't move!"

"Bang!"

The female zombie bumped into the cabinet on the other side, and something fell from above her head, making a crisp sound when it hit the ground.

The female zombie's gaze turned to that side and she froze for a moment. Eve didn't notice it, but took advantage of the opportunity to bite her finger and drip blood into its brow.

"Don't move," she said in a deep voice, "Stand still..."

Before she could finish her words, the female zombie suddenly rushed out!

Eve was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously emphasized her tone and shouted again, "Stop."

But the female zombie still did not obey her orders.

It suddenly fell to the ground, clutching something tightly. Through its rotten hands, the corner of a plastic photo frame was vaguely visible.

Eve's eyes fell on the corner of the photo frame and she was slightly startled.

As if she suddenly thought of something, she took a sudden step forward, grabbed the female zombie's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me."

This time, the devil's blood finally took effect in the female zombie's body.

A few low whimpers rolled out of its throat, and the female zombie's body trembled, as if she wanted to struggle, but her arms slowly rose under the control of the magic blood and handed over the photo frame.

Eve reached out and took it.

The cheap plastic shell of the photo frame touched her fingers. She lowered her head and saw a mother and daughter in the photo smiling brightly at the camera.

She had seen the same photo in Huasha's room.

"Is that so..."

She murmured something, bent down, and pressed the photo frame against the female zombie's jaw, forcing it to raise its head. Through the spider-web-like hair, Eve narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at its facial features carefully.

The female zombie raised its head with difficulty and whimpered in protest, but Eve only increased her strength slightly and it dared not move again.

The female zombie's face was severely corroded, but her beautiful eyebrows and eyes could still be vaguely seen, and her outline looked inexplicably familiar.

Eve compared it with the photo, a look of understanding in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she took out another tooth and pinched the zombie's jaw hard: "Open your mouth."

The latter opened his mouth reluctantly.

Eve pressed the tooth hard against its gum, making it fit perfectly into its gum.

She understood, stood up, and casually threw the photo frame away: "Here."

The female zombie hurriedly took it and held it in her arms as if it were a treasure.

Eve stared at it for a while, not knowing what she was thinking. A mist appeared in her green eyes. After a while, she stood up and walked towards the door blocked by the wall.

"Huasha," she said calmly, "I'm saying this one last time—let me out."

"You're dreaming!" Huasha shouted fiercely.

Eve let out a low laugh through her nose.

"You're not going to change your mind?" she said softly, "Then...even if your mother dies again, you won't mind?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of surprise.

"Eve? What are you talking about?"

"Huasha's mother...didn't she go out? Could she be back?!"

Amidst the chaos of the crowd, Huasha stood straight, her lips trembling constantly, but she could not utter a word.

From the moment Eve said that, the color drained from her face like the tide.

"You...you're talking nonsense..." She said with difficulty, "My mother...she's safe outside...she'll be back soon..."

"So," Eve interrupted her, "Why does this zombie look so much like your mother and won't let go of your photo?"
