Chapter 218: I Had No Choice Before, Now I Want to Be a Good Person

It had been three days since Johnson arrived at the Hell Apartment. Today, there was no public class in the apartment, but everyone gathered in the lobby, the atmosphere incomparably heavy.

Liu Jianming and the other nine residents in the apartment received a Blood Character Mission. The more people participating, in a sense, the greater the difficulty of the mission. Their mission this time was to go to a large supermarket and survive inside for seven days.

"Don't be like this, making it so heavy. Don't you trust my leadership ability?" Liu Jianming said to Lin Zhengying with a grin.

"How could that be? You are a police officer who has received a personal first-class merit." Lin Zhengying squeezed out a smile with difficulty.

"That's right. Trust me, I will bring everyone back safely." Liu Jianming scratched his hair a bit embarrassedly. As he spoke, he looked at Lao Die and extended his fist.

Lao Die reached out and bumped it. "Of course. When the time comes, Lao Die will pour you hot tea, using the best tea leaves."

Johnson stood to the side. Everyone participating in this mission was saying goodbye to their friends, trying to cover up the crisis with optimism and dispel sadness with smiles.

Soon, it was time to depart. Everyone lifted a large box of various supplies onto the car. Liu Jianming lit a cigarette, glanced at the sky, and inexplicably walked back, walking up to Johnson.

"Basachang, can I ask you for a favor?" Liu Jianming looked at Johnson and said.

"Just say it. As long as it's something I can do, I will never refuse." Johnson replied.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a smoke ring, Liu Jianming took a resume out of his briefcase. "This is my personal resume. If I can come back, can you help me find a police job? Auxiliary police is fine too. I feel that I am still suitable to be a police officer."

"No problem. I will contact them for you right now. I am very familiar with the police station in this area. An auxiliary police position is not a difficult matter." Johnson took the resume. "And with your resume, you might even be transferred to a regular position through the special talent channel."

"That's good. Thank you very much." Liu Jianming gave Johnson a big hug, turned around, got in the car, and drove to the mission destination.

After the car was no longer in sight, many residents were still unwilling to leave the entrance. Every goodbye could be the last goodbye.

Among those participating in the mission this time were someone's friend, someone's beloved, someone's relative...

That afternoon, Zhang Wei kept calling the mobile phones of the residents participating in this mission. Even though the phones became hot, not a single call was answered.

"Don't worry, maybe the signal is just blocked. It's very normal. Wasn't it like that on your last mission?" Lin Zhengying leaned against the wall, comforting Zhang Wei.

"Yeah, I also think that's the case." Zhang Wei said this, but his heart was still a bit uneasy.

The last place they went to was a wilderness and an old village in the mountains, so no signal was normal. But Liu Jianming and the others went to a large supermarket this time, so no signal was a bit unsettling.

A moment later, Constantine and Connors returned from outside. Zhang Wei looked up at them with a start.

"We went to that supermarket to check, everything was normal, but we couldn't find a trace of them." Constantine sat down and delivered some bad news.

"Can't find a single person?" Lin Zhengying asked.

"Can't find them. After they entered, it was as if they had disappeared. I tried to look at the surveillance, but only saw the footage of them entering. It seems they entered another space." Connors continued.

The space had changed; the news was becoming increasingly bad.

Johnson felt a bit annoyed in his heart. Holding Liu Jianming's resume, he got up and prepared to return to his room. He hadn't lied to Liu Jianming. As someone with the identity of a super-rich person, getting an auxiliary police identity was as easy as playing.

After Johnson left, others returned to their rooms one after another. Everyone gathered in the lobby, actually hoping to get through on the phone, so that everyone could act as their off-site support, which could effectively improve the survival rate.

Two days later, at night, Johnson had already secured Liu Jianming's auxiliary police identity. He just had to wait for Liu Jianming to return and take him to recognize some faces to start working.

Just at this moment, a firelight appeared in the sky. The dazzling light made Johnson's eyes sting a bit, secreting some tears.

What's going on?!

Johnson endured the tears and tried hard to look at the sky. He saw a black meteor passing by quickly. The flames wrapped around the meteor illuminated half the sky.

Boom!

The meteor crashed, and a huge sound spread throughout the entire city. The dust raised was so obvious in the dark night.

Johnson turned on the TV and opened the computer, wanting to see what had happened. As a result, before he could find a relatively reliable official message, there were all kinds of things on the Internet, and there were even aerial videos. Currently, all that could be known was that although the entire city had a huge sound and soaring firelight, not a single place had been hit by a meteorite.

Everything just now seemed like a hallucination.

The next morning, before Johnson was fully awake, there was a rapid knocking on his door.

Opening the door, Constantine grabbed Johnson's hand. "Come with me. Zhengying received a call from Liu Jianming. Let's hurry to the first floor and gather. Maybe we can help with something!"

Johnson closed the door casually and ran to the first floor with Constantine. When they arrived there, the lobby was already full of people.

Lin Zhengying connected his mobile phone to the speakers. Chaotic sounds and heavy panting came from inside.

Everyone held their breath, fearing that their own movements would affect Liu Jianming on the other end of the phone.

After a few minutes, Liu Jianming seemed to have found a safer place, and the surrounding noise became much quieter. "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

"We can hear you, Jianming. What is the situation now?"

"The situation is a bit complicated. I'll make a long story short..." Liu Jianming's breathing was rapid, carrying a bit of fear that could not be concealed.

"After we entered the mall, it was as if we had come to a new space. Except for us, there wasn't a single living person. However, the shops in the mall were all open. I wanted to call you at that time, but the signal inside seemed unable to get out."

"During the day on the first day, nothing happened. We found a storage room with two doors as a temporary base. After we did all kinds of defenses, it was almost dark."

"At night, we received our first attack. It was the humanoid mannequins in the clothing store. They gathered towards us quickly, wanting to kill us. However, these mannequins had no weapons, just purely unable to be killed, and they were a bit afraid of flames. We relied on Hellfire crystals to survive the first day."

【Recommendation: Yeguo Reading is really easy to use for chasing books. Download it here. Wild Fruit Reading, everyone can try it quickly.】

While Liu Jianming was speaking, everyone looked at each other, looking at each other in dismay. No one present had heard of any occult knowledge that matched this description.

After a short panting, Liu Jianming seemed to understand this point and continued to speak. "When the morning of the second day arrived, those mannequins that kept chasing stopped and returned to normal. We took advantage of this time to rest and replenish some physical strength. At that time, we felt there were no casualties."

Speaking of this, Liu Jianming's voice trembled slightly. "But in the afternoon, when we were choosing another place to renovate the base, Lao Cheng and Xiao Guo suddenly showed strong resistance, as if they wanted to escape and stay with us at the same time."

"We felt something was wrong and were preparing to control them first, when a bloody hand directly pierced out from under their skin. Their skin was torn apart like rags. What came out from inside were two monsters with only muscles and no skin. I don't know when they had parasitized them."

"Painted Skin!" "Skinless Man!"

Lin Zhengying and Johnson immediately stated two possibilities.

"I don't know either, but they are a bit afraid of some materials we prepared. It was fine when they were in the box, but they couldn't accept it when we took out a large amount." Liu Jianming added.

"That might be closer to Painted Skin, fearing fire and light, liking darkness and lust. You should use processed Peach Wood Swords to slash and kill them. However, Painted Skin's usual attack methods tend to be seductive, so it might also have some characteristics of a Skinless Man. You must be careful not to be alone and keep the surroundings bright at all times." Lin Zhengying analyzed quickly.

"Too late, everyone is scattered." Liu Jianming smiled bitterly. "After scaring those things away last night, we encountered a joint attack by doll people and mannequins. Fortunately, they were all afraid of flames, and we were able to defend against it with preparation."

"However, at about ten o'clock in the evening, something suddenly smashed through the roof of the supermarket and hit the ground. The huge vibration and fierce firelight seemed to activate the entire supermarket, and countless monsters poured out from the dark. Fortunately, their main target was that falling thing."

"In the chaos, we were each scattered. Originally, according to the plan, we were supposed to gather in the lobby on the first floor in the morning. But after the morning came, I found that the falling guy hadn't disappeared and was still active. I ran away quickly and am now hiding in a locker in a changing room."

"Describe it. What does that guy look like?" Constantine leaned in a bit and asked.

"Humanoid, seems to be wearing strange black armor, very heavy. The floor on the first floor is covered with cracks, but there is no sound when he moves. I didn't even notice him at first."

While Liu Jianming was describing, a terrified scream suddenly came from there, followed by painful groans and cries for help.

"It's Sister Zhang! Wait a moment, I won't hang up, I'll go over and take a look."

Next was a period of chaotic activity sounds, followed by continuous gunfire. Liu Jianming's instructions were interspersed with the gunfire. After a short exchange of fire, Liu Jianming shouted to retreat and hide, followed by another burst of rapid running sounds.

These sounds made the people in the lobby feel very heavy. The situation over there seemed to be deteriorating.

A few minutes later.

"Sister Zhang is dead."

This sentence, which everyone could think of, came out of Liu Jianming's mouth.

"That guy looks like a male on the outside. The top of his head is more like a hard stratum corneum than hair. His eyes are yellow, and he has a few huge fangs, like a zombie, but not so stiff. His movements are like a normal person, bloodthirsty. Sister Zhang had her throat bitten off by him." Liu Jianming gritted his teeth and announced the information.

"It's a zombie, but a variant." Lin Zhengying gripped the phone tightly. "It sounds like the legendary bloodline of Jiangchen. Yellow eyes should be third-generation zombies. They need to rely on blood to survive and possess super hearing and recovery abilities. Ordinary talismans have no effect."

On the other end of the phone, the running sounds started again. "You continue."

"Sky Thunder Talismans might be effective, or splashing black dog blood mixed with rooster blood might be useful." Lin Zhengying continued. A clever woman cannot cook without rice. Using pure Taoist magic or Buddhist dharma to deal with this kind of zombie would be effective, but Liu Jianming didn't know how to do it at all.

Boom!

A sound came from the other end of the phone, followed by Liu Jianming's painful groan as he gritted his teeth, and at the same time, the sound of multiple muscles tearing at the same time.

"He used a transformation potion." Connors said from the side.

"Huff, huff, Sky Thunder has some effect, but dog blood doesn't seem to work. He is chasing me, much faster than me." Liu Jianming's breathing was uneven. It looked like he was being chased very miserably.

"In your box, there is an evil array sacrifice map of the Book of Darkness. Don't sacrifice too much, you will die." Constantine reminded. That thing was obtained from Lin Jiu.

Slap!

A sound of flesh being squeezed came from the other end of the phone, followed by a series of impact sounds.

"Jianming? Liu Jianming!" Lin Zhengying called out repeatedly.

"Half of my body was smashed. His strength is so strong. Fortunately, the phone was in the other pocket. He is now entangled by the black claws sacrificed." Liu Jianming's speech was slurred. When he spoke, one could clearly hear the bubbling sound of gas rushing into his blood.

"Don't lift the lizard transformation, run quickly, eat more, there is a chance to save your life!" Connors shouted loudly.

"No chance. He is about to break free. Even if I run, others don't have transformation agents, they can't even run." Liu Jianming tried hard to maintain his consciousness. "Daoist Lin, is there any way to pollute blood in a short time? I'll starve him to death!"

Lin Zhengying was silent. Where would there be such a way.

"Constantine, you said that Hellfire crystals must be used immediately after being taken out of the container, and they cannot touch water, right? What will happen if they touch it?" Liu Jianming's voice grew weaker.

"It will flash-burn... If the space is not large enough, it will also explode." Constantine closed his eyes. "Corpse powder has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Burning in Hellfire will present extreme corrosiveness."

"I know..."

"I had no choice before, now I want to be a good person..."

Liu Jianming's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Royal Hong Kong Police! Officer DPC4927! Zombie! Go eat shit!"

With a loud shout, a huge explosion came from the receiver, followed by dead silence, with only the beep-beep-beep sound of the phone hanging up echoing.

"Officer DPC4927, Officer Liu Jianming, go in peace."

Johnson muttered in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 219 =====
