Chapter 289: Little Woman

Ye Nan led Alice and boarded the train.

There was a musty smell everywhere on the train, which made Ye Nan frown.

"Why is there a musty smell here? Even if it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, there will only be a moldy smell, and there won't be this kind of musty smell. This smell gives people the feeling that many people should have died."

Ye Nan said gently, his brows furrowing deeper.

According to general principles, a place that hasn't been cleaned for a long time will have a moldy smell, but there will definitely not be a musty smell. Generally speaking, a musty smell can only be found in places where there are dead people.

"Dead people?" Ye Nan's two eyebrows were almost gathered together.

How could there be dead people in the train station? According to the news sent by Jason, not many people should have come here. Since not many people came, where did this smell come from

"It's very eerie here, and also quite terrifying. Why don't we walk there instead?"

Alice followed behind Ye Nan, becoming more afraid the further she walked. In particular, the musty scent on the train made her feel uncomfortable, so she proposed walking there directly.

Ye Nan looked at the beauty behind him with quite some surprise, murmured, "You get scared too?" and then refused Alice.

Walking to the Tokyo base was not too much trouble for him, but there were some things he had to clarify.

Moreover, Alice, who slaughtered everything in the movie, was actually following behind him like a little girl. And the fact that she showed signs of fear made him feel a bit of secret joy inside.

"That's right, the current her is not the Alice who slaughters everything in the future. The current her is just a little woman."

Alice and Ye Nan's figures were very close. She naturally heard Ye Nan's murmur in her ear, and one could see her expression change instantly, the two large white rabbits on her chest bouncing inside her silk underwear.

"Why can't I be afraid?" Alice asked in return.

"It's just a bit unexpected." Ye Nan walked into the train control room and looked at these instruments he couldn't understand, his head starting to ache. "Alice, do you know how to operate the train?"

"I'll try." Alice stepped forward, found a lever, pulled it down, and then pressed a few things on the train before saying, "The way to operate this train is very old-fashioned. Fortunately, I once saw how to operate a train, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to handle this."

Toot! Toot! Toot!

The train suddenly started moving, advancing along the tracks.

"It finally started. To be honest, I wasn't very sure of myself." Alice wiped away some sweat, and her whole body relaxed.

For some reason, she was always very nervous in front of Ye Nan. She always hoped to do things well and hoped to get his attention; she herself didn't know what was going on.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Nan patted Alice's shoulder to show encouragement.

"So smooth." Ye Nan's hand touched the snow-white skin Alice had exposed, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

"No... wait." Alice's expression tightened, and she tilted her head to listen. "It seems there's some sound."

"Really?" Ye Nan's expression tightened, and he followed Alice in tilting his head to listen, but he didn't hear any sound at all.

"Strange, how can there be no sound?" Ye Nan felt strange in his heart, and his peripheral vision happened to catch the mischievous smile on Alice's face, causing him to pause.

"Alright, you little girl actually dared to deceive me. Let's see me scare you a bit." Ye Nan thought to himself, making up his mind to give Alice a scare.

"Shh, be careful." Ye Nan snuck over to the window and looked into the distance. Suddenly, his expression turned ugly. "How could it be that thing? How could it be that thing?"...

Ye Nan murmured to himself, his expression growing uglier the more he spoke.

"What's wrong?" Alice was startled in her heart. She had only wanted to scare Ye Nan a little; she hadn't expected to really attract a monster. And judging by Ye Nan's expression, this monster that had suddenly appeared must be a very powerful one.

"It's a Tyrant, a very terrifying zombie, a zombie with extremely powerful strength. If I face it, I'm afraid I'll die a miserable death, Alice." Ye Nan's expression turned serious. "In a moment, I will hold it off, and you run. Remember, don't look back, run as far as you can."

Upon hearing this, Alice felt moved, and at the same time, she became increasingly anxious. "I only wanted to scare Ye Nan, how could I have thought there would really be a monster?"

"Alice." Ye Nan took a deep breath. "Although I really don't want to say it, at this final moment, I have to."

"Actually, I like you."

"What?" Ye Nan's sentence stunned Alice so much she didn't know which way was up.

She and Ye Nan had known each other for less than a few minutes, and Ye Nan had already told her "I like you." This left her completely confused; her mind was a blur, and even her thoughts almost stopped functioning.

After finally catching her breath, she remembered Ye Nan's words and couldn't help but scream, "How is that possible? It's only been a few minutes, how could you possibly like me?"

Alice's voice was loud and sharp, almost instantly piercing through the barriers of the train cars and spreading far away.

"Of course it's possible for me to like you." Ye Nan said righteously. "We have a phrase in China called 'love at first sight,' which means that the first time two people meet, they fall in love with each other."

"And we haven't just met once; we've also spent this much time together, and I've come to understand your personality. Saying I love you at this moment isn't very abrupt." Ye Nan suddenly became cautious. "Could it be that you don't like me?"

When Ye Nan said this, his voice was a bit choked, and his eyes stared straight at Alice, mist flooding them.

"It's not abrupt, but I'm not prepared yet." Alice wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to hurt Ye Nan, and in her own heart, there was also a faint joy. "Can you give me some time?"

"Do I still have time?" Ye Nan's expression became exaggerated. "I'm about to die. I ask myself, I have no regrets in this life; the only regret is not having heard the person I like say 'I love you'."

"Don't be so pessimistic, okay?" Alice became more hesitant as she spoke, her voice suddenly softening. "Actually, you won't necessarily lose. We can completely leave first, and then find another opportunity to go around."

"It's useless. The Tyrant's senses are quite sensitive... wait, what is that sound?" Ye Nan's ears pricked up, and all his pessimistic expressions were swept away. "Alice, stand behind me."

Before Alice could react, she felt a great force pushing her behind him. This force was so great that she was unable to resist.

"What exactly is wrong?" Alice asked nervously, staring fixedly at the door in front.

Ye Nan didn't speak, but instead used his hand to point out the direction for Alice.

Alice looked in the direction Ye Nan pointed, only to see some glistening slime flowing over from behind the door.

"There's the sound of something wriggling." Ye Nan placed his hand by his mouth and made a shushing gesture.

Combining the current situation, there should be something wriggling behind the door. As for what it was, Ye Nan didn't know either, so he appeared exceptionally cautious.

If he were alone, he naturally wouldn't be afraid. To say nothing else, just his speed—that speed had already reached the pinnacle of this world. Judging by the characters revealed so far, his speed was undoubtedly number one. The so-called Olympic sprint champions and marathon champions were just a dish in front of him; he could eat them whenever he wanted....

It was just that he wasn't alone now; standing behind him was Alice.

Unlike the Alice in the original work who slaughtered everything and didn't know what fear was, the current Alice had experienced far less than in the movie. Her heart was naturally very fragile, fragile like a delicate rose, making one unable to help but feel love and pity.

Alice looked nervously at the door, her pair of azure eyes staring unblinkingly at the door, as if afraid of missing something. At the same time, her fingers were trembling, and she was very afraid in her heart.

She somewhat regretted following Ye Nan down here. It was too eerie below; the empty station, the strange and disgusting Licker, the train that exuded a musty scent throughout—no matter how one looked at it, it was like being in a horror movie. The atmosphere of terror and darkness was everywhere, putting a lot of pressure on her heart.

"Ye Nan, tell me, what exactly is behind there?" Alice's hand rested on Ye Nan's shoulder. As she spoke, a hint of orchid fragrance brushed past Ye Nan's ear and entered his nose, allowing him to smell her fresh scent.

Whoosh!

Ye Nan took a deep breath and slammed his fist into the train door, knocking it flying. "What is it? We'll know once we take a look."

As Ye Nan spoke, he looked over and saw a rectangular, line-shaped creature wriggling under the door.

"Was that what was wriggling on the door just now?" Alice asked.

Just now, Ye Nan said something was wriggling, and with the door having fallen down and it being pressed underneath, Alice thought it was the thing wriggling on the door.

"It should be." Ye Nan neither denied nor confirmed it. He just gently extended his hand toward the rectangular, line-shaped creature that was constantly wriggling and said, "However, this leech-like creature is not something to be trifled with."

A series of water streams sprayed from Ye Nan's hand. These streams rushed onto the leech's body and slowly seeped inside.

"It's just that this leech should be able to help me find what I want."

Ye Nan couldn't control water; the reason his hand could spray water was entirely because he had changed the form of his energy. As long as he was willing, he could spray lightning, ice cubes, and the like at any time, or even simulate things like trees, though the simulation was not very accurate.

"My energy has already eroded into every cell of the leech. As long as the leech goes back, I can take the opportunity to have it erupt, if I haven't guessed wrong." Ye Nan murmured.

In the Resident Evil series, there is a famous character called the Leech Queen, and what the Leech Queen controls are leeches. Therefore, when leeches appeared on the train, the first thing that came to Ye Nan's mind was the Leech Queen.

"Let's go, Alice, let's go take a look." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come and vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
