Chapter 19: Blood-soaked Witch

Lin An stopped at the end of the corridor and stood there, thinking for a moment.

He only knew that a mutant had appeared in this inn in his past life, but he didn't know exactly where.

That mutant was called the 【Blood-soaked Witch】 by people, and her methods were extremely brutal.

Although she wasn't strong, in the early Apocalypse, all survivors in Linjiang City would turn pale at the mere mention of her.

The reason was simple: the 【Blood-soaked Witch】 liked to massacre, and anyone who died at her hands would suffer inhuman torture.

"Could it be that we have to clear floor by floor to find her?"

Lin An muttered to himself, feeling somewhat helpless.

Forget it, let's settle this quickly.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Lin An walked out as if taking a stroll, the Nepalese curved knife in his hand casually striking the edge of the wall corner.

The metallic clatter was piercing.

The zombies gathered at the door suddenly turned their heads, but unexpectedly only a few charged at Lin An.

"Crack."

The door frame came loose.

Under the zombies' relentless gnawing, scratching, and pounding, the door was opened.

A large number of zombies rushed in.

Inside the door, Yu Shihao gripped a small knife, his face crazed.

He dragged Zhou Fang's hair with both hands, ignoring the girl's struggle.

Blood flowed from his wrist, and Wang Fang's pierced ankle went limp.

"Damn bitch!"

"If you're going to die, die first!"

As the girl screamed, Yu Shihao threw her straight into the zombie horde, then, not feeling at ease, he kicked her hard in the back.

He thought it through clearly.

When the zombies broke down the door, throwing Wang Fang into the horde to buy time was his only chance to survive.

The girl, face full of despair, was thrown into the horde; several pairs of rotting hands tore at her clothes and flesh.

Her skin was torn open while she was still alive.

The zombie horde ignored Yu Shihao in the corner, instinctively enjoying the tasty morsel.

A chunk of flesh from the girl's face was bitten off entirely, eliciting a shrill scream of pain.

Yu Shihao dared not look at her eyes.

Those eyes were filled with intense despair and venomous hatred.

"Now's the chance!"

"Ah!"

Like giving himself a pep talk, he let out a roar.

His eyes were fierce, his hands protecting his head, and taking advantage of the gap while the zombies feasted on Wang Fang, he madly rushed toward the door.

Two meters, three meters.

He, who usually liked to exercise, had decent physical condition.

In a desperate burst, he actually broke straight out of the zombie encirclement.

He survived!

Yu Shihao's face was full of ecstasy as he scrambled and crawled into the hallway.

"Step forward and chop."

Lin An cleanly and swiftly chopped down a few scattered zombies rushing at him with one blow, his gaze icy as he looked at the boy bursting out of the room.

What a fast blade.

So strong.

Yu Shihao lay on the ground, dumbfounded, watching Lin An sheath his knife.

He glanced back at the zombies almost finished eating Wang Fang, as if something had occurred to him.

"Big brother, big brother, please save me."

"My girlfriend was eaten by zombies, I couldn't save her. Please help me."

Scrambling and crawling.

Yu Shihao's face was full of humble flattery as he knelt at Lin An's feet.

As if he were extremely sad, he squeezed out a few tears and looked pleadingly at Lin An.

Lin An remained silent; he simply had no leisure to save people.

Too lazy to bother with him, he strode straight toward the horde feasting on Wang Fang.

He didn't know whether this horde bore any traces of the 【Blood-soaked Witch】.

Yu Shihao went limp on the ground, a surge of secret joy.

This person is so strong; it looks like he'll really be saved.

"Damn bitch, your death is actually worth something."

Yu Shihao snorted coldly in his heart, feeling not the slightest guilt.

Watching Lin An charge into the zombie horde, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Several sword lights flashed, and more than half of the Corpse Horde was slain.

His eyes shifted, and many thoughts arose.

He was unlike the few people Lin An had previously encountered; he was somewhat older and still hadn't figured out the situation.

While trapped in the room, he carefully read the few lines of explanation in the Doomsday Game.

Based on the novels and movies he had seen, he also realized that this world might have become completely different.

As expected, the outside is probably full of Zombies.

Seeing how strong Lin An was before him, he naturally wanted to do everything possible to cling to his thigh.

Otherwise, he had no confidence at all in surviving on his own.

"Bang!"

Yu Shihao's eyelid twitched; he looked at Lin An with some fear, as if stepping on a water balloon, and crushed the last Zombie's head.

"Sir, may I ask how you would like to be addressed?"

He quickly stood up, eagerly took off his own coat, and wanted to help Lin An wipe the bloodstains off his body.

"Get lost."

Lin An coldly spat out a single word, frightening him so that he dared not approach.

He had just activated the Judgment Eye to search for clues.

Both batches of Zombies had no information about the Blood Witch.

Such Mutants usually bring some changes to the surrounding Zombies.

I don't know whether the Blood Witch is on a lower floor, or whether it hasn't mutated yet.

If it's the latter, then it undoubtedly disrupted his plans.

Killing non-mutated Zombies does not increase one's level.

Blindly searching for other Mutants in the city is tantamount to courting death.

If the level is insufficient, the hospital's Equipment may not be obtainable.

Everything is interconnected; there is no room for the slightest mistake.

At this moment, Director Wang and the two people who had followed Lin An down from upstairs also arrived at the eighth floor.

Lin An fell silent for a moment, then slowly asked the three people with differing expressions.

"Have you seen any relatively special female Zombies?"

"Or, are there any Zombies with abnormalities?"

Upon hearing Lin An's initiative to ask, Yu Shihao hurried to speak up in order to make a showing.

"Sir, there are many female Zombies here. I don't know what you mean by that special one."

Lin An pondered for a moment; he actually didn't know either.

The Blood Witch had no image information appearing in the chat channel; besides knowing its name and strength, he knew nothing else.

"If we talk about something special, it might be related to the Blood Witch."

"Blood Witch?"

Director Wang and the two others were red-faced with embarrassment; they simply couldn't understand what Lin An was saying.

Yu Shihao racked his brains, but after thinking for a long time he still couldn't recall any information about the Blood Witch.

"Sir, after the Apocalypse broke out, I have been staying in the room and never went out."

Yu Shihao gave a dry laugh, afraid of making Lin An think he was worthless.

"If you want to look for it, I can go with you. This building is huge, so it wouldn't be convenient for you to search alone. My physical condition is not bad; I will definitely not hold you back."

As if to show loyalty, Yu Shihao directly opened his own player panel and presented it respectfully before Lin An.

"Player Information: Yu Shihao (Level 0)"

"Strength: 7"

"Agility: 6"

"Constitution: 6"

"Willpower: 8"

The attributes are not bad.

Among ordinary people, they are also above average.

"Sir, may I boldly ask what your strength is?"

Yu Shihao thought of the strength Lin An had just displayed, and his heart burned with enthusiasm.

If he himself had such strength, would he still need to despair, blocked by zombies at the door?

"I saw your performance just now; it's really too cool. With such strength, your attributes must be 11 points, right?"

Lin An slightly furrowed his brows.

Although Yu Shihao concealed it well, he had been constantly praising himself.

But he could tell that Yu Shihao was testing him.

10 points is the human limit; this is one of the few explanations in the attribute panel.

Yu Shihao's question about whether he had 11 points was actually probing whether his strength exceeded the human limit.

Lin An said nothing, merely preparing to go down to the next floor.

Yu Shihao saw that Lin An did not respond, and didn't mind.

He hurried to keep up with Lin An's steps.

"Brother, just take me in. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. I will absolutely not hold you back."

Lin An slightly furrowed his brows.

Take him?

Yu Shihao's attributes are still decent, and he's also good at reading people's expressions.

People like him are actually much more useful than ordinary people.

But he doesn't intend to waste the quota on ordinary people, and moreover, the Rescue Team's mission also limits this.

As for scheming, it's his nature?

With the system's restraints, after joining the team, don't even think about scheming or betraying him.

This point doesn't need to be worried about.

Yu Shihao watched Lin An ignore his meaning, his fists clenched tightly.

"Damn, this guy in front must know how to strengthen his power!"

"Find a way to get him to talk."

He didn't dare show it, Yu Shihao continued to follow respectfully behind Lin An.

Lin An walked in front; Director Wang and the two others followed behind, not daring to fall too far behind.

The group went down the floors one after another, and the dim corridor behind them suddenly twisted.

On Wang Fang's half-disfigured face, her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, filled with dead silence and resentment.

No one noticed.
