Chapter 17 Red Brick Factory (16) - Another Handsome Guy

Looking at the pieces scattered all over the ground, Ning Shu felt nauseous and started to gag again.

If the mess on the floor bothered her eyes, then the lingering sensation on her hands bothered her body.

She may not have realized it before because she didn't think about it, but now that she's calmed down, she finds that her hands feel strange.

It wasn't the feeling of touching flesh and blood, but something more... She thought for a long time before finding a suitable adjective.

Everyone knows what it feels like to step in poop; for her now, it feels like rubbing poop.

That's right, it feels like rubbing poop!

Because she used her hands, it's unclear whether this is a side effect of her transformation ability or if she's so powerful that she sees all enemies as dirt, hence the feeling.

Now that there are no other "living things" in this space besides her, the danger is naturally gone, and she can safely search for an exit.

Despite sunlight streaming through the glass roof, the environment below remained somewhat dim.

Sunlight streamed onto the two pools, their surfaces shimmering and reflecting fragmented light. The shimmering light danced and projected onto the surrounding walls, allowing Ning Shu to see the environment below.

She found that there was still no door on the wall below, or at least no obvious door, so she could only start touching the wall again.

To be honest, this kind of behavior would seem a bit perverted in a different context.

However, she didn't care about all that. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she would search for it to feel at ease, for fear of missing any opportunity.

After feeling all four walls below, Ning Shu concluded that there was probably no exit here. Then, like a gecko, she climbed up the wall, climbed over the railing, and returned to the corridor.

She thought for a moment, then went back to the recessed corner where she had originally come from and repeated her actions on the wall—but still found nothing.

Ning Shu had already checked the walls in the corridor, except for the white wall at the end.

Looking at that eerie white wall, Ning Shu thought it was worth a try.

Arriving at the white wall, she first strolled over it from beginning to end to see if there was anything unusual about it, but the result was—nothing.

She reached out to touch it again, and the instant her hand touched the white wall, she felt as if she were touching tofu.

The eeriness emanating from the white wall grew stronger, but it was also a potential breakthrough. Any change in the environment meant there was a chance for a turnaround.

Ning Shu touched the wall again and pressed it in forcefully. Feeling something was wrong, she immediately tried to pull her hand back and move away from it, but she was "sucked" in.

Ning Shu felt as if she were enveloped in "tofu," and was just wondering if the wall was really that thick when she suddenly lost her balance and fell face-first to the ground.

Yes, it's another face-plant pose.

Ning Shu seemed quite used to this way of making an entrance; she simply stood up silently, as if nothing had happened.

This space is no longer empty, nor does it contain sculptures or anything like that; instead, it contains mechanical equipment, which seems to be quite large.

She only saw a section of conveyor belt, similar to the baggage conveyor belt at the airport, but with a wider tape side. She didn't know what it was used to transport.

This device is a bit strange; every so often, the outer perimeter is blocked by a metal plate that is 2 or 3 meters high.

So what Ning Shu saw was this scene: metal plates, conveyor belts, metal plates, conveyor belts, metal plates...

What are they doing? Are they transporting a corpse?

She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild again.

She came to a section where she could see the conveyor belt, peeked inside, and wanted to see what was inside.

The conveyor belt was found to be empty, with curtains hanging over the metal plates, obscuring what was inside.

She didn't dare to go up and lift it to take a look, in case there was a "surprise" inside.

Ning Shu shrank back, feeling that the most urgent thing was to find an exit. This place was not a place for transporting corpses, and even if it were a place for transporting living people, it would be none of her business.

She turned to find the exit, but suddenly froze as the heterochromatic madman appeared behind her.

"They're still not all dead."

Ning Shu's face darkened when the other party said that first thing.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ning Shu replied, but the other person showed no expression, gave a strange smile, and then left.

Ning Shu was actually a little nervous. She didn't know if she could win if she got into a conflict with the other party. Fortunately, the other party left.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard other people's voices coming from some hidden corner.

"Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry. If there's a next life, I'll definitely want to be your son again!"

First came a piercing scream, then a sorrowful lament.

Hey buddy, are you sure your mom wants you as her son in her next life? But that voice sounds kind of familiar.

Ning Shu hadn't even thought of what was going on when she heard the other person's next sentence.

"Cheng Chuan, are you alright? You don't look well."

"How can you look good like this?" The other person's reply was somewhat speechless.

It's Cheng Chuan and his group! That's wonderful.

Ning Shu burst into tears of joy; she had finally reunited with them.

"Cheng Chuan, Wu Yi, where are you?" Ning Shu called out softly.

She was worried that it would attract bad luck, but she couldn't remain silent, so she chose to speak out weakly.

Then there was no sound at all.

"Huh, can't they hear me?" Ning Shu wondered.

In fact, it wasn't that Cheng Chuan and the others couldn't hear it; it was that they heard it but dared not respond.

When they first heard it, they fell silent, then looked at the other person with disbelief in their eyes.

They discovered Ning Shu was missing when they encountered the zombie dog.

At that time, Wu Yi was petrified and was beating up a zombie dog when he saw that the sandstorm not only stopped and turned back into human form, but also knelt on the ground.

He shook off the zombie dog and came to Cheng Chuan's side to help him up.

Cheng Chuan looked terrible. When asked, it turned out he had used this ability too many times and was now exhausted.

When Wu Yi asked about Ning Shu, Cheng Chuan realized that Ning Shu was missing.

The ground was littered with pieces of flesh, and there were no fragments of clothing in sight, but they were unsure whether Ning Shu was dead or alive.

Wu Yi helped Cheng Chuan to the side; Cheng Chuan had already dealt with most of the zombie dogs.

The remaining few were not difficult for Wu Yi to handle. After dealing with them all, Wu Yi helped Cheng Chuan leave together.

At the time, although they felt that Ning Shu might be alive, they did not have much hope for the situation.

After all, she was powerless and had encountered such a ferocious zombie dog, so it's no wonder they thought that way.

Cheng Chuan felt guilty and kept blaming himself for not protecting Ning Shu, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, so he could only keep moving forward.
