Chapter 20 Gentleman in the Mist



Suddenly, Shen Lanzhou's pupils constricted and trembled violently. Her heartbeat raced, its rate instantly soaring to a near-lethal 200 beats per minute. She felt as if something was strangling her throat. She gasped for air with all her might, but could find no air...

Just like a monster appearing in a game, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the ambulance's path.

He was dressed in the tailcoat and top hat of an old-fashioned British gentleman, and was born from the transition between day and night like a cloud of fog.

The body beneath the gentleman's suit was pitch black, swallowing up all light like a black hole.

The moment the girl looked directly at Him, her eyes lost their function, and even her vision was cruelly taken away, swallowed by endless darkness.

“Uh…”

Shen Lanzhou was like a fish forced ashore, covering his chest and gasping for breath like a broken bellows.

My heart... My heart is about to explode...

She stretched out her hand with difficulty and pressed on her chest, digging her fingers into her flesh, trying to tear out the heartbeat that was causing her so much pain.

[Ding! Detected that the host's SAN value is about to return to 0, automatically enabling the firewall.]

The sound that suddenly rang in her ears was like a sharp sword piercing the damp black cloth covering the girl's head. She suddenly woke up, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed towards the grotesque figure in the middle of the road without mercy.

Bang!

Thick smoke exploded and scattered.

Shen Lanzhou breathed deeply, enjoying the fresh air as if she had survived a disaster, trying her best to fill every alveolus in her lungs. Her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and the feeling of impending disaster disappeared without a trace.

It seemed as if everything that happened just now was just a delusion of consciousness.

From a third-party perspective, Shen Lanzhou's pupils contracted as if she had suddenly fallen ill, she gasped for breath, and her face looked hideous. Her fingers suddenly and fiercely stabbed into her chest, blood flowing out of the wound. She stirred her fingers as if she wanted to reach into the chest cavity and pull out the heart.

That hysterical look was so scary, especially since she was driving.

Fortunately, the ambulance suddenly accelerated and Shen Lanzhou gradually returned to normal.

"Lan Zhou, are you... okay?" Su Lian asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry."

Looking at Shen Lanzhou's pale little face and the bloody holes on his chest left by five fingers.

Su Lian: You don’t look like everything’s fine!

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it, nor did I dare to ask. Su Lian sat obediently in the passenger seat, watching the villa area on the distant mountain getting closer and closer.

The villa complex was now vastly different from when Shen Lanzhou had left. Several trenches had been dug at the entrance, covered with crude iron barricades. The once exquisitely crafted European-style gate was now firmly shut, and men in thick clothing, armed with homemade weapons, stood guard behind it.

Although it is still very immature, in just two days, it has already taken shape as a survivor base.

It would be better to say that the reason why Shen Lanzhou chose this place as the gathering point before the end of the world was because the Maling Mountain Villa District was located at a high altitude, had few people, and was well protected, making it a natural shelter.

This was indeed a good base in the previous life, but unfortunately its administrator was too weak, which led to the villa base being closed and hidden, refusing to go out to fight, and finally being canned by highly evolved monsters.

A sharp-eyed student saw the ambulance and Shen Lanzhou in the driver's seat, and his drowsy spirits suddenly perked up: "Shen Lanzhou is back!"

A uniformed property security guard asked in confusion, "Who?"

"That's the boss I mentioned before who will lead us to victory without any effort and fly high!"

The student excitedly ran over to open the door, but was stopped by the security guard: "Hey, be cautious! Even if it's someone you know, you should check them carefully. What if they've been bitten by a zombie and mutated once they're let in?"

The student's excited mind calmed down somewhat. "I trust Lan Zhou. She's so awesome, nothing will happen to her."

The ambulance stopped at the gate of the villa area. Shen Lanzhou got out of the car. Behind her was Su Lian who was helping Ye Xuan get out of the car.

"Student Lin Lang, what he said makes sense. Even if you trust me, there are still procedures and measures that must be adhered to. You have the support of the entire villa district."

Lin Lang's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and chest and shouted, "Yes, sir!"

Shen Lanzhou: "..." So childish and shameful!

The security guard rolled his eyes. This little brat used to be so arrogant just because he had killed two zombies, but now he is so obedient.

"My name is Shen Lanzhou, and I just returned from Xinghai City. I haven't been bitten before, and the wound on my chest was caused by my own fingers. I will cooperate with your examination, so please be tactful and polite."

"Uh... my name is Su Lian, she is Ye Xuan, we are together with Shen Lanzhou. I have no external injuries on my body, her injuries... were caused by my bite..." When she said this, Su Lian's face turned red.

bite?

The security guard looked at Su Lian in surprise. Was it the kind of bite I imagined?

Ye Xuan, who had been silent and thoughtful until then, noticed the security guard's gaze and snapped, "What are you looking at?! Haven't you seen beautiful women flirting?!"

The security guard silently looked away: "It's our duty. We still need to check her wound."

"You will enter the room through this small door. A girl will come to examine you. Please cooperate."

As he spoke, the security guard pulled the switch and opened a small door.

Outside the door was an iron cage made of thick wire, leading to a small room covered with black cloth. Originally a guardhouse, it was now used as a temporary checkpoint.
