But he didn't do that.
Su Qi looked at the top of the monster's head in the distance, which showed a deep red exclamation mark.
[Follow this night demon, maybe we will find something]
"It really presents me with a dangerous problem."
Su Qi also became very alert.
The equipment [Dark Wind Boots] only lasts for five minutes. Although there is no cooldown time, each activation consumes 100 physical strength points.
Logically speaking, his 350 stamina can only be used three times.
However, once the physical strength value is too low, it will trigger automatic recovery until it returns to 30%, which is 105.
In this way, Su Qi can use it unlimited times, but at the same time, the moment he activates it, his physical strength will be at an extremely dangerous level.
His current behavior is like walking on the edge of a knife or doing a backflip on the edge of a cliff. If he is discovered, he will be dead.
"Now I have to calculate to the second, and I can't afford even the slightest mistake."
Su Qi's eyes were focused at the moment, and his expression was extremely calm in the darkness. His steps were steady and silent, and he moved through the streets like a ghost. There was no need to follow too closely, as long as he could be seen in sight.
This monster was not very fast when it was wandering around. In the dark, it would occasionally catch a few zombies, tear them into pieces and throw them into its mouth.
Then it gradually moved towards a certain direction in the city.
"The monsters should have their own nests, and it should be heading towards the nest now."
This is not difficult to guess. After all, this group of monsters cannot seem to appear outside during the day and can only wander out at night, which means they must have a hiding place.
Su Qi followed carefully, always paying attention to the stealth time. When his physical strength dropped to 5 points, he would feel dizzy and need to take a few breaths to relax.
And after an hour of this.
The monster stopped wandering outside an abandoned parking lot.
It was actually quite intelligent and moved away the large amount of iron debris placed at the entrance of the parking lot, revealing a hole.
Then climbed in.
Su Qi's eyes lit up. Finally there was new progress.
He was not in a hurry, but waited silently for his physical strength to recover.
"These monsters are not like the previous instance. They have a certain level of intelligence and even the ability to think."
Su Qi was also observing this monster along the way. Its actions seemed to have some human consciousness, but not much.
After the physical strength is restored to 30%.
Su Qi, butcher knife in hand, remained hidden and walked towards the parking lot.
The interior space of this parking lot is quite large. In the dark environment, with the moonlight shining through the windows, some outlines can be seen.
"The monster is heading this way." Su Qi looked at the traces on the ground and walked inside.
The further he walked in, the deeper he found that the parking lot was than he had imagined, and the deeper he went, the more complicated it seemed.
Soon he heard a roar from the monster, but the sound was not ferocious, as if it was licking something.
Su Qi narrowed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall.
He saw a very strange scene.
The horrific flesh and blood monster was lying outside a thickened iron gate, tearing at a piece of raw meat placed in an iron basin.
A faint light shone through the iron gate, illuminating the shadow of a person who was watching everything silently.
In one minute.
The monster swallowed all the meat into its stomach, but hair began to sprout inch by inch on its rotten head. Skin was also growing on its horrible flesh and blood body, and its scarlet pupils seemed to be turning black.
The monster growled, but this time it was not so crazy. Instead, it looked a bit painful. Then it became quiet and fell to the ground, breathing heavily, looking a bit human.
This situation lasted for a minute.
But, right now.
The monster's whole body twitched violently, all its hair fell off, and the skin growing on its entire body quickly rotted. Its pupils turned back into a bloodthirsty and crazy red, and it let out a horrific roar.
The figure inside the iron gate sighed, and then a large amount of ultraviolet light appeared around it. The monster was burned by the light and immediately fled in pain.
And after confirming that the monster had left the parking lot.
The figure slowly opened the heavy protection and pushed open the iron door.
Just as he squatted on the ground, picked up the tweezers and was about to collect the hair and skin on the ground.
Su Qi was already standing beside him quietly, with a butcher knife against his neck.
"do not move."
Chapter 25 You Are Outsiders
The twelfth floor of the tower.
Ye Shou and the others were walking on the stairs, looking around with some discomfort. A large number of survivors were looking at them through the cracks in the door, their eyes were numb, fearful, but also a little expectant.
"Are these the survivors of the tower?"
"Why do most of them seem so weak? Their eyes look so strange." Aqi whispered, "Some are afraid, but also seem to be expecting something."
The man with a beard who led Ye Shou and the others into the place, looked back at them and said, "Because you are outsiders."
Several people were slightly stunned and looked at each other in surprise.
outsider?
What do you mean?
Xun Xiaohuan, who was walking behind, had a calm expression and was not disturbed by this sentence. Instead, he asked, "Where are you taking us now?"
"Go see the leader of the tower, he will explain the situation to you." The bearded man's attitude was a little strange. He was not very enthusiastic and even a little wary, but he seemed to be asking something of them.
Everyone's expressions changed again, but they still didn't ask any more questions and chose to follow him upstairs.
After reaching the top floor of the tower.
They then entered a spacious, somewhat old room. Next to a simple desk, an old man in a wheelchair was reading a book. After everyone came in, he gently closed the book and looked at them.
"Hello." The old man smiled gently, "I'm sorry, the place is a little small, and the supplies are scarce, so I don't have anything to entertain you."
Ye Shou looked at the other party: "Old man, are you the leader of the tower?"
"Yes." The old man said slowly: "My name is Loren. You want to know the situation of the tower and the outside world."
"Um"
Ye Shou nodded hesitantly. The other party seemed to know something about them and directly predicted their next step.
"I can tell you." The old man said softly, "But I will have to inconvenience you a little."
"Be careful!" Xun Xiaohuan suddenly frowned and reminded.
In the room on this floor, there were about a dozen people holding guns. They stood out from the hiding places nearby, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed at everyone's head.
Everyone's face changed slightly, and Ye Shou quickly said: "Dear tower leader, we have no ill intentions."
"We didn't either," one of the gunmen said hoarsely.
A-Chou couldn't help but said, "This is called no, there are so many of you pointing guns at me."
He looked over and was suddenly stunned.
Because most of the gunmen in this room were old, weak, sick and disabled, with rotten parts on their bodies, and some of them couldn't even hold their guns steadily.
The only few young men also had wounds bandaged on their bodies.
"Why?" Ye Shou was a little surprised.
"Because we are afraid that you have bad intentions." The bearded man said calmly, "So sorry, let's just have a conversation under these circumstances."
"understood."
Ye Shou calmed down the restless teammates and said, "We are all ears."
"Thank you for your understanding. Cough. Cough cough!" The old man was in poor health. He coughed a few times and actually coughed blood onto his handkerchief. He stretched out his hand to stop the other nervous people from coming forward.
His face, with its contours like tangled tree roots, recalled, his voice a little hoarse than before, and he said, "Twenty years ago in this city of Srilan, a terrible virus broke out. Anyone infected would turn into the zombies you see outside."
"Among these zombies, another terrifying monster was born. We call it the Night Demon. You should have seen this powerful monster before."
"Well, it's really powerful." Ye Shou said in a deep voice. They even lost a teammate because of this.
"This kind of monster is simply not something humans can resist, but fortunately they can only move at night and are very afraid of the sun, so we use this tower as our base, searching for supplies during the day and using ultraviolet rays to resist the invasion of the night demons at night."
The old man looked at one of the gun-wielding youths gently and said, "People of their generation grew up in this kind of environment."
"No." Old Tomato suddenly couldn't help but say, "We saw a dead and rotten body on the bus before. The body was that of the bus driver. If twenty years had passed, he should have turned into bones long ago."
"This is the terrifying thing about the virus." The bearded man said in a deep voice, "All the zombies infected by it will never die completely. Even if their heads are chopped off during the day, once night falls, those fallen zombies will be resurrected again!"
Ye Shou and the others' expressions changed: "This is like being cursed."
Endless zombies and terrifying night demons, this is like hell!
"We have been trapped in this terrible despair for twenty years." The old man's eyes were slightly cloudy. "I thought it would continue like this, but ten years ago, a group of outsiders suddenly appeared in this city."
Outsiders. They were slightly shocked. They had heard this word from the bearded man before and felt that there was something wrong with it. Now it seems...
"They appeared suddenly just like you did. They wore completely different clothes from us and spoke in a language that no one could understand. Moreover, each of them possessed weapons and individual strengths beyond those of ordinary people. Large numbers of zombies were no match for them at all."
Except for Xun Xiaohuan, everyone else looked surprised.
That's right, those people are players like them.
"At that time, we thought the savior had arrived. They were so powerful that they might be able to save us." The old man sighed, "But unfortunately they failed."
"Since then, a group of outsiders like this have appeared every year. Although we don't know where they came from, for everyone in the tower, this is the only hope, so we naturally support them with all our strength." The old man said calmly: "They almost succeeded at one point, but in the end, they still failed after paying a heavy price."
Ye Shou frowned: "If that's the case, why do you treat us like this?"
"Because...the group of outsiders last year." Someone gritted his teeth and growled, "They are all a group of demons!"
Ye Shou noticed that the eyes of others revealed complex emotions such as fear, anger, etc.
