Is it a person? Is it a person? The voice echoed in the quiet corridor, but no one answered.
Looking into the distance, Lin Anran and the others could indeed see what looked like a human figure, but upon closer inspection, they couldn't make out anything clearly. They regretted their lack of eyesight when they needed to use them, as they were all nearsighted now.
Xie Bei: "It's not a person, it's a skeleton."
"Skull! Dad, hold me back, I'm scared too." Lin Yu squeezed between his parents, not afraid of getting beaten up at all; survival was the priority.
Lin's father said impatiently, "It's just a skeleton, not even a zombie. You're a grown man now, can't you be a little braver!"
It's so annoying, it's getting in the way of my holding my wife's hand.
"I don't care, I'm scared."
As they approached step by step, drops of blood dripped from the cracks in the door. Life was gradually swallowed by the endless darkness, and the eerie chill caused the temperature to plummet.
"This? This? There's blood!" Lin's father's heart jumped.
Lin Anran glanced at Lin Yu and said, "Get ready for battle, Xiao Yu, open the door!"
"good!"
The door opened from the inside with a whoosh.
Countless mutated snakes crawled on the ground, their forked tongues sticking out like arms. Countless spiders on the wall moved rapidly, their legs a full two meters long, making them extremely eerie.
Lin Yu stood at the very front, his face pressed against the upside-down spider's face, and slippery slime dripped onto Lin Yu's hair.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Lin Yu's screams mingled with his mother's screams, and a high-speed, passionate chase ensued.
Lin Anran and Xie Bei were the first to rush out, and the vines and firelight instantly wiped out the horde of mutated spiders and snakes in front of them.
As the two attacked, an open space appeared inside the house, and they quickly slipped into the horde of mutated animals.
"Ranran! Dad will help you!"
Not to be outdone, Lin's father charged out with a hammer in one hand and an axe in the other.
"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"
Although Lin Yu and his mother were screaming, they didn't forget to launch attacks, throwing out clumps of lightning and ice as if they were free stones.
Jiang Qinian pulled a large weapon out of his backpack, wielding the submachine gun with ease.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Every single shot landed precisely on the head of the mutated animal that was hiding in the shadows, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Mutant animals kept appearing; every time a batch was killed, another batch would appear. Soon, Lin Anran realized something was wrong.
There are just too many mutated spiders and mutated snakes!
There's absolutely no intention of ending this.
"Have you noticed that these mutated animals seem endless, and you can't kill them all!"
After Lin Anran's reminder, everyone quickly realized that the house was like a bottomless pit, with the number of mutated animals increasing rather than decreasing.
If this continues, they will eventually die at the hands of these mutated animals due to exhaustion or depletion of their supernatural abilities.
"What should we do then? Should we retreat first?"
Lin Yu followed firmly behind Lin Anran. Although he was very scared, his courage overcame his fear.
Lin Anran felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the ever-growing swarm of spiders and snakes in front of her.
Lin's mother was closest to the door, and she shouted, "There's no escape! The door is blocked!"
Just as they were locked in fierce combat, a dense spider web blocked their retreat, leaving them with no choice but to fight to the death.
Suddenly, Lin Anran had an idea. "Everyone, follow the wall and carefully check for any mechanisms or openings."
These mutated animals don't appear out of nowhere, unless there's some mechanism they haven't seen.
Upon hearing Lin Anran's instructions, everyone worked without hesitation, carefully examining the area while killing the mutated animals along the wall.
Xie Bei plunged into the deepest part of the wall, and finally, he discovered a hole in the corner, from which mutated animals kept crawling out.
"Found them! There's an entrance here; they all crawled out from here!"
As he spoke, Xie Bei launched a fireball at the cave entrance. After only a few minutes, mutated animals began to crawl out of the cave again.
Within minutes, Lin Anran quickly arrived at Xie Bei's side. She looked at the hole and knew she had to find a way to block it up, otherwise the problem would continue indefinitely.
What's the fastest way to seal the hole?
The simplest solution is to block it with heavy objects.
Vines alone certainly wouldn't be enough to stop it, except for ice blocks!!!
"Mom! Come quick!"
Although Lin's mother was scared, she rushed to her beloved daughter's side as quickly as possible.
Xie Bei understood Lin Anran's meaning. He raised his hand and shoved the spiders and snakes that were climbing up again, saying, "You don't need to worry about what's behind you, leave everything to me!"
Lin Yu: "Me too!"
"Okay, thank you." Ignoring the mutated animals behind her, Lin Anran manipulated the arm-thick vines, pressing one down on the other.
Lin Ma's ice-type superpower activated instantly, freezing the vines and the hole solidly.
Finally, the whole world fell silent.
Without a constant stream of mutated animals, the group cleaned the house in just ten minutes.
Even after it ended, no one could recover from the shock of seeing those mutated animals; they were terrifying!
Those mutated animals are not only ugly, but they also smell terrible. Before the apocalypse, they were terrified of spiders and snakes! And now they're mutated animals that's been magnified more than ten times, making them even scarier! *sobs*
After this battle, everyone had exhausted a lot of physical strength and superpowers.
They decided to rest on the spot. Lin's father took out a large-capacity thermos from his backpack, and gave each of them a cup of warm water and two sausages to calm their nerves.
Of course, the warm water was spiritual spring water from Lin Anran's space, and drinking it made her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
