Shen Jing did indeed intend to unleash the palm grenade.
However, she didn't have much love or hate for those survivors.
In short: "Life and death are none of her concern!"
Her main intention was to scare the people blocking the doorway, who were the ones who started this whole thing.
They lured He Qing and his group here, tricked the long-departed survivors back into this deadly place, and even used a child to assassinate He Qing.
They killed He Qing simply to eliminate dissidents.
Shen Jing glanced at it and then looked away, urging loudly, "If you're going to leave, then leave; if you're going to hide, then hide."
The monsters were just mutated animals, but the zombie horde was already close at hand, and if they didn't leave soon, they would all be wiped out.
Gu Yan's fair face stood out in the darkness. His eyes, devoid of joy or sorrow, remained fixed on Shen Jing the entire time. Upon hearing Shen Jing's words, a smile appeared on his lips.
However, he said nothing, adjusted the position of the blade, and forced the group to continue blocking the doorway.
Seeing Gu Yan's inhumane behavior, everyone was so frightened that they wanted to slide to their knees!
Shen Jing lazily crossed her arms and looked around.
Except for those whose legs went weak with fear, everyone else immediately rushed into the guest rooms on the first floor to take refuge. With so many people running together, the commotion was definitely loud, and some people couldn't withstand the fright and even burst into tears.
At first glance, only Huang Simiao and Li Chu were still standing in the center of the hall, with the earthen wall built by Zhou Lihao behind them.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Zhou Lihao's superpowers have likely been exhausted, and the earthen wall has begun to crumble.
Shen Jing knew that in less than a minute, the earthen wall would turn into dust.
Huang Simiao was also at a similar level of exhaustion. She had been fighting the three children since earlier and was now at her limit. Even the mutated vines binding the three children were starting to loosen.
They seem unwilling to leave.
The temperature dropped slightly at night, but the backs of the group were still soaked with sweat.
"Ah Jing, what kind of monster is this?"
Upon hearing Huang Simiao's words, Li Chu also turned her head to look over.
All they could see was a group of zombies, their grayish-white arms outstretched as they moved slowly.
The sky was just a moment ago clear with a bright moon and few stars.
But now it is visible to the naked eye to be gray and hazy.
This is clearly not right!
Shen Jing had just withdrawn her supernatural detection ability when she said, "It's poisonous gas exhaled by a snake, which can confuse a person's nerves and cause hallucinations due to poisoning."
To be precise, it was a 5-meter-long giant python that came dragging its tail, so it was much slower than the zombies.
It's more like a baton that drives zombies to the hotel!
Huang Simiao was stunned. She and He Qing had killed a lot of snakes when they were on the mountain.
But those snakes only spew venom, and judging from what Shen Jing said, the snakes that came seemed to be very difficult to deal with.
She couldn't help but step forward: "Is it also a king cobra?"
Shen Jing shook her head. "With so much sulfur in the lobby, if they still dare to come, then they're not simple people."
Those blocking the doorway naturally heard their discussion.
"A snake...it's a snake..."
"How come there are snakes! Aren't they supposed to only attract zombies?"
"Ask me! Who should I ask?"
"Li Chu...please, for the sake of our past work together, let me off this time!"
"Waaaaah... I still have a son to raise, you know that!"
With knives pointed at them, the people at the door dared not retreat any further.
At this point, they had no choice but to turn back and beg Li Chu for mercy!
Li Chu frowned, while the system in her mind simultaneously chimed in: [Host, it is recommended to save them; saving people will increase your luck value.]
Hearing this just as she was about to turn and leave made her hesitate.
Even now, she is not sure what luck will bring her.
"Miaomiao, try to persuade Shen Jing."
As for what to advise, even if Li Chu didn't say it, Huang Simiao knew perfectly well.
But what she didn't understand was why, even now, Li Chu was still thinking about saving these people.
She had known Li Chu for a long time. Li Chu was gentle yet resilient; she shouldn't be indecisive. "They were just trying to kill us, why are you pleading for them? I don't understand..."
"Miaomiao! They are survivors. There are very few human survivors to begin with!"
“But just now… they didn’t seem to consider us as allies.” Under Li Chu’s gaze, her voice grew softer and softer, finally fading into a slight sigh: “I understand. I’ll go tell A-Jing now.”
It's completely useless. How could Ah Jing change her mind about what she's decided?
This is also why Huang Simiao sighed; she didn't want to spoil Chen Jing's mood.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard a man scream outside, the sound of which almost ripped the ceiling off the lobby!
"Ah! Don't come any closer!"
"You wretch! Let me in right now! Otherwise, otherwise..."
"You deserve to die a horrible death! You actually let survivors shield you from the monster!"
"We followed you out, He Qing! And this is how you watch us die?!"
"He did it on purpose! He wants to eliminate the Huang family's influence!"
Even when a man is about to die, he doesn't think he's done anything wrong. He figures that if the plan fails, he can just go his separate ways!
Among these voices was the sleazy-looking man from before. He was left in the lobby with nowhere to go. The others had already escaped to the guest rooms, but he remained in the lobby.
He both gloated over the current plight of those people and hated He Qing and his group for their cold-bloodedness.
Isn't he always pretending to be a saint?
Isn't this just deliberately letting the Huang family block the door?
Their actions were just like when Shen Jing shot and killed Hu Qiang!
They're all hypocrites! They're all selfish! They're all just afraid of dying!
The angry shouts outside not only startled the monster, but also made it move even faster.
Those inside the guest rooms could hear it clearly, since the hotel was riddled with drafts...
But apart from He Qing and the others who remained in the lobby, no one came out to drag the man away. Even though he was the one who cursed the most, it was probably just to plant a thorn in the hearts of the survivors at the end!
Late at night, the outside temperature dropped significantly, no longer reaching the daytime high of 50 degrees Celsius.
It's not so hot anymore, but who's willing to go out and rescue those few people?
Shen Jing watched Huang Simiao slowly walk towards the gate.
Clearly not understanding what she was trying to do, he asked, "You want to save someone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the knives turned around and began pointing at Huang Simiao.
It seemed that if her answer was not satisfactory, she would be stabbed by those knives!
Huang Simiao pursed her lips, glanced at Li Chu and He Qing, who were gradually emerging from the earthen wall, and finally released the mutated vine from her palm again. This time, her target was Shen Jing!
The three children saw the mutated vines on their bodies disappear as Huang Simiao moved.
They looked at the people present with suspicion.
I finally decided to run to the guest room to hide as well!
The main problem is that woman using electricity...
She exuded a murderous aura, and her expression was far too ugly!
