Chapter 996

His entire body was being slowly devoured, becoming nourishment for more fingers; those disgusting tissues tore open his mouth and grew wildly out from his throat.

It was just like some kind of terrifying alien plant.

All the horror and bizarreness reached a climax here.

After catching his breath, Adam traversed the dim corridor, every step cautious.

Every time he passed a door, he would try to open it to find an emergency exit to escape.

But every one was either blocked by debris or tightly locked from the inside.

Where they were now was deep underground, hidden from the sun; not only were there no windows to let in light, but there wasn't even a ventilation duct for escape.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out in the distant corridor, sounding particularly harsh in this enclosed space, the echoes lingering for a long time.

Following closely was a burst of rapid footsteps; Ma Liang came running with a pistol, grabbed Adam, and dragged him to start fleeing.

"Did you find a way out?"

She asked a question she already knew the answer to; the expression on Adam's face already said it all.

Adam shook his head helplessly, his heart full of despair.

"This haunted place is infected—all the rooms, all the stairs, they are everywhere; it's fucking hell."

Adam said while describing the situation, enduring the pain in his foot, and looking back from time to time to observe the terrifying existence that had forced them into such a desperate situation.

At the end of the corridor, in a dim corner, a deeper shadow slowly wriggled forward, and the bloated, massive monster poked out part of its body.

It was like a mass of wriggling, rotting matter weighing several tons, mixed with the form of rotten potatoes and fat maggots.

What made up its body, besides countless fingers, were toes, tiny teeth, and exposed bones.

It dragged something sticky like a blood clot, leaving shocking bloodstains behind it.

As for where the tissues other than fingers came from, there's no need to elaborate.

Its front body had twelve bullet holes, blood flowing, but its movement was not affected at all; clearly, Ma Liang hadn't hit its vital parts.

As the monster approached, Adam couldn't help but furrow his brows, his nostrils tightened, and a straight line formed between his brows.

It was that nauseating scent, concentrated to the extreme, again.

Medical alcohol, ammonia for disinfection, injection fluid, iodine, fresh blood, rotten meat... all kinds of smells mixed together, like a mountain of garbage piled up from medical waste.

It was so huge that it filled the entire corridor tightly, from the floor to the ceiling, from left to right, with absolutely no space to maneuver.

But this was the end of the road; they had nowhere else to go.

In about half a minute, it would reach them, squeeze them against the wall, devour them, and integrate them into its own chaotic body.

"I think we're done for," Adam said tremblingly, "Thanks for the effort."
