Chapter 44: Did I enter the wrong set?
“Roar!”
The ghoul’s low growl perhaps made it more excited due to the blood, and the screams gradually subsided.
A gust of wind carried a strong smell of blood to where the two people were.
After the mansion finally fell silent, more footsteps started approaching.
Liu Haoyu’s work was still not finished, which made Qin Liu even more anxious.
“How much longer?!”
Liu Haoyu’s attention was completely focused on the talisman, and he didn’t hear Qin Liu’s words at all.
Qin Liu’s gaze dared not leave the mansion.
When the ghoul’s roar completely stopped, she clearly felt an unspeakable cold emanating from inside the mansion.
It was as if… more ghosts had appeared.
And the reality was as Qin Liu had predicted.
As the afterglow of dusk fell upon the mansion, what appeared before her was a large group of staggering, ferocious-looking corpses.
These were the original servants and guards from inside the mansion.
But they were like soulless puppets, rushing towards the two of them like madmen.
“They’re coming!”
Qin Liu condensed lightning in her hand, but facing such a large number of corpses, like a scene from Resident Evil, this bolt of lightning was like a drop in the ocean.
“Go!”
Just as those monsters were charging over, Liu Haoyu’s voice rang out.
He didn’t care about being gentle with women anymore. Without another word, he once again slung Qin Liu over his shoulder as if she were a sack, then climbed over the wall and rushed into the woods outside.
Behind them, the sound of dense collisions could be heard, and even the mansion’s wall was struck with a long crack.
“Bang!”
Before the two could catch their breath, a loud noise sounded again.
As Qin Liu looked, she saw the crack in the wall behind them continuously expanding.
“Damn it!”
Even Qin Liu couldn’t help but curse loudly at this moment.
She just wanted to ask the damned heavens.
Did she enter the wrong set?
How did she go from a supernatural movie to a zombie movie!
Liu Haoyu couldn’t care less now. He needed to get Qin Liu to a safe place first.
He carried Qin Liu and rushed into the woods.
“Bang!”
Another loud noise came from behind, followed by continuous footsteps.
It was like a group of enraged rioters rushing out of prison.
The sun slowly set, and darkness began to gradually shroud the earth.
Although Qin Liu was uncomfortable from the jostling, Liu Haoyu couldn’t spare his hands to adjust his posture at this moment.
Moreover, carrying her closer to his center of gravity was much less strenuous than carrying her on his back, and it also allowed him to keep one hand free to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
So, Qin Liu would have to endure it for now.
“Don’t run…”
“Quickly give me… blood…”
“Souls…”
Behind the two, the frantic roars continued to sound.
And the monsters behind them seemed to have dispersed, forming a large encirclement.
This made Qin Liu feel that it wasn’t just something chasing her from behind, but that something was hidden in the surrounding trees and weeds.
The things hidden in the dark forest seemed to be relentlessly pursuing the two of them.
The dense footsteps, treading on the thick dead leaves and branches on the ground, made strange rustling sounds.
These sounds came from all directions, as if intending to completely surround the two of them.
“Where should we run now!?”
Qin Liu wasn’t very familiar with this place, but Liu Haoyu had some understanding of the surrounding environment.
But the problem was that his understanding was of the environment in the future.
With nearly forty years separating them, who knew if the roads in his memory still existed.
In the woods on both sides, the things running wildly in the darkness seemed to have completely surrounded the two of them.
Even many had already run ahead of them.
They intended to completely trap him and Qin Liu here!
Liu Haoyu naturally understood their intentions, but he still did not choose to give up.
This near-full-speed sprint had already pushed his physical capabilities to their limit.
At this moment, he felt his chest and throat burning, a pain like being scorched by fire.
His lungs couldn’t get enough air, and his rapidly beating heart made his face turn red, and his eyes were even a little bloodshot.
Qin Liu also noticed that Liu Haoyu’s physical condition was not optimistic, so she quickly said.
“Can you ask that black book to send you back to your original timeline!”
Qin Liu knew that doing so would put her in considerable danger.
But it was better than both of them dying here.
However, in response to Qin Liu’s words, Liu Haoyu still did not stop.
He stared intently ahead and said with a hoarse voice.
“Bullshit!”
“I’ve been saved by you so many times, and now it’s my turn to save you, and you want me to run?”
“Isn’t that just being treated as a useless person?!”
This was the first time Liu Haoyu had cursed so loudly, and it was unclear whether he was angry at Qin Liu’s idea or because the roar could help him push his limits further.
He knew that passing through this forest would lead to a small town.
Once they entered the town, it would be virtually impossible for them to be caught.
As for massacring the town?
The people in the 1980s were simple and honest, don’t you understand?
These town militiamen even had guns and cannons. Did he have the ability to reason with these things?
The exit of the forest had appeared in front of them.
Liu Haoyu could clearly feel that the monsters on both sides seemed to be closing in.
If they didn’t speed up a bit more, they might be surrounded from all sides.
Facing Gu Mingyuan alone, perhaps they could fight evenly.
But facing such a large number of monsters attacking from all sides, the winning rate would drop drastically.
At the end of the road, several dark figures appeared. These were the servants from the mansion, but now they were just a group of soulless zombies.
No…
Just a little more…
Just as Liu Haoyu was about to stop, he heard a young, clear shout in his ear.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
At this moment, Liu Haoyu realized that the talismans he had tucked into his belt had fallen into Qin Liu’s hands.
At this moment of life and death, this little loli directly activated the Zhenlei Talisman and blasted it towards the dark figures ahead.
As a dazzling lightning storm flashed, the dark figures blocking their way were blasted into countless pieces of corpse.
Listening to the rapidly approaching footsteps behind him, Liu Haoyu dared not slow down and rushed out directly.
The faint lights of the town illuminated their faces. At this moment, the afterglow of the sun finally disappeared.
Liu Haoyu sat beside a house in the town, gasping for breath.
“Thank you…”
However, a handkerchief was pressed against him, and Qin Liu gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying leisurely.
“Didn’t you always tell me not to always say thank you?”
