Chapter 8 Uneasiness



Pick up the card that fell to the ground; this time it's a weapon card.

"use"

Sharp spear (white)

Attack power 3-5

Features: Hit +20%

The card in his hand turned into a wisp of green smoke, and then a long spear appeared in his outstretched palm.

The spear is about two meters long, and the shaft is made of ash wood. A red tassel is wrapped around the joint between the spearhead and the shaft. Liu Nian cannot tell the material of the spearhead.

What I lacked came to pass; I must say, boss, I misunderstood you.

Although you're a bit short, your thick side parting, sparse stubble, and slightly protruding belly all exude an extraordinary charm.

Liu Nian immediately began to fawn over him.

My phone will run out of battery in two or three days, and I don’t even know if it will shut down; so I might as well... fix my gaze on the boss’s wrist.

"A watch that would have been impossible to afford in peacetime is now readily available. I've inevitably fallen into decadence," Liu Nian said with a strange sigh, looking at the luxury watch on his wrist.

Alright, there are no infected people on this floor, so we can safely search for supplies now.

After running around for more than half an hour, looking at the meager amount of food in front of her, Liu Nian couldn't help but question her life choices: "Why is such a big company with so many people so stingy?"

The only items found on this floor were a small box of vegetable salad and two thermos cups of coffee. The salad was from the company refrigerator, and the coffee was from a coffee pot in the common area.

The public office area was spotless; nothing was found. No wonder Liu Nian was furious.

Looking at her watch, it was 12:30. After finding a relatively clean table, Liu Nian decided to eat something first.

Two packets of instant noodles, three sausages, bottled water, vegetable salad, coffee, and Black Angus beer.

You say it's not plentiful? There are quite a lot of varieties.

You call it abundant? Why do I feel a sense of desolation in my heart?

The water dispenser is still working properly. I reluctantly tore open the last two packets of instant noodles. There are still six floors to scavenge. There's no need to be stingy.

Moreover, after a morning of fighting, Liu Nian was so hungry that her eyes were practically glowing green.

Once the instant noodles were cooked, I didn't care how hot they were, and I just stuffed them into my mouth along with the salad.

After finishing the salad, I peeled a sausage. Although it wasn't as comfortable as staying at home, I still felt very satisfied.

Happiness can be easy if you lower your expectations.

However, happy times are always short-lived, and the food on the table was devoured in a flash.

The feeling of fullness in my belly is incredibly satisfying!

After cleaning the desktop, Liu Nian set off for the sixth floor.

He fiddled with the spear in his hand all the way, trying out every trick in the book: stabbing, thrusting, sweeping.

Compared to the two floors above, the sixth floor was surprisingly quiet.

"Knock knock knock"

They threw the can into the sixth-floor corridor from the doorway, without hearing the footsteps of any infected person.

There wasn't even a roar; it was quiet and eerie, with only the sound of the jar tumbling around remaining.

In contrast to the quiet environment, the sixth-floor corridor was almost completely soaked with dark red dried blood, obscuring the original color of the floor. Upon closer inspection, small fragments of remains could be found on the ground.

Looking to both sides, the walls were covered with bloody handprints and fingernail scratches.

What kind of power would it take to leave a scratch on a cement wall?

All indications suggest that a major battle, or more accurately, a massacre, took place here.

"But where did the body go?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Liu Nian's mind.

Filled with doubt, I mustered my courage and entered the stairwell.

The moment I stepped inside, the stench of blood mixed with the smell of decay hit me.

The strong smell made Liu Nian frown.

After taking a few more steps, the air seemed to solidify, enveloping everything in the sky.

As time went on, Liu Nian's unease grew stronger.

"Squeak..."

A sound came from the shadows at the end of the corridor.

Liu Nian held her breath, able to hear her heartbeat clearly.

As the shadowy figure approached, the light filtering through the window revealed that it wasn't an infected person, but a monster.

It was the height of an adult, its body was gray and black, and its dark pupils filled its entire eye sockets, revealing a ferocious expression.

What's most striking is its gaping maw. The two rows of serrated teeth inside are terrifying.

Every time the thick, long tongue inadvertently sticks out, it brings out a long trail of saliva.

Its limbs are thick and strong, and the claws at the ends look just like Wolverine's claws.

Looking at the monster before me, and combining it with the scratches left on the wall, there was no doubt that it was the monster's handiwork.

Before Liu Nian could have any more time to think, the monster had already launched its attack.

It took several steps in one, and appeared in front of Liu Nian in just a few seconds.

Sensing malice, the skeleton stepped forward to shield Liu Nian.

The bone knife then drew an arc and slashed at the monster's shoulder.

"Pfft"

The monster neither dodged nor avoided the blow, taking it head-on. The bone knife pierced its flesh slightly, and some dark green blood splattered from the wound.

The monster, in pain, swung its claws wildly.

The skeleton couldn't dodge in time, and several of its ribs were instantly sliced ​​off, with bone fragments flying everywhere.

The skeleton seemed oblivious to the pain as it slashed diagonally at the monster's head with its bone blade.

Seeing that they were entangled and unable to break apart, Liu Nian mustered his courage and took a step forward, pushing his spear forward and stabbing it towards the monster's kidney.

An inch longer, an inch stronger; the spear, though fired later, struck first, piercing the monster's waist.

The monster, which was about to dodge the bone knife, froze for a moment and was struck between the eyebrows by the bone knife.

His waist, unprotected by bones, was pierced by Liu Nian's spear, leaving a small hole. His brow, protected by his skull, was left with only a thin scratch.

The monster suffered consecutive injuries to its head and waist, causing it to scream in agony.

The monster became ferocious, a glint of crimson flashing in its dark eyes, before its sharp claws tore at the skeleton before it.

The skeleton teetered on the brink of collapse under the monster's brief onslaught, its ribs completely shattered, and the frequency of its attacks with the bone knife noticeably decreased.

Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Nian changed his spear from thrusting to stabbing, aiming straight for the monster's left eye.

Upon seeing this, the monster abandoned the half-dead skeleton and hurriedly dodged to the right.

Seeing that the attack was about to miss, Liu Nian thought to himself that something was wrong, but unexpectedly the spear suddenly seemed to come alive. The spear shaft shook, and the spear tip changed its angle, hitting the monster's left eye.

The monster's left eye was pierced, and blood gushed out instantly.

Blood dripped down the tip of the spear. Liu Nian was still hesitating whether the blood was poisonous and whether to let go, but the blood was absorbed by the red tassel, and not a single drop flowed onto the spear.

Seeing this, Liu Nian felt reassured and no longer hesitated. She exerted force in her palm and pinned the struggling monster against the wall.

This monster was incredibly resilient; even when pinned against a wall, it didn't die.

Its limbs flailed incessantly, trying to break free from the spear's restraints.

Fortunately, the spear is a full two meters long, so there's no need to worry about being scratched by the monster.

With no worries about anything else, Liu Nian focused on wrestling with the monster, while a skeleton would occasionally slash at him from the side.

In contrast, the monster was not only pinned to the wall, but also had to guard against harassment from skeletons, and was also covered in a bleeding debuff.

As the tide turned, the monster gradually lost ground in the struggle, becoming powerless to wield its claws any longer. It watched as the spear slowly sank into its skull until it ceased to move.

[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing a small ghoul and gaining 20 experience points.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Liu Nian was overjoyed, receiving a full 20 experience points. He was delighted.

As if to encourage Liu Nian, the ghoul even dropped a card.

I picked it up and took a look.

[Supply Card: Xi'an Roast Duck]

The description says it's a flavor you can't resist!

Haha, dinner's sorted!

Putting the supply card in his pocket, Liu Nian stopped delaying and began swiftly searching for supplies on the sixth floor.
