Chapter 35 Pain is the best way to forget about fear
As the saying goes, good fortunes won’t come at the same time, and misfortunes will never come alone. Bai Zhi was now in such a situation.
The black finger marks on his neck were still sucking up his physical strength. And with the bite wound on his right arm gradually starting to go numb with the passage of time, his whole arm started to become stiff.
Holding his breath and hiding at the bottom of the bed, he heard the heavy footsteps gradually leaving the door. After a slight sigh of relief, Bai Zhi took out medical tools from his backpack and simply treated the wound on his right arm.
The way he handled his wounds was simply outrageous.
Without changing his face, he continuously cleaned the wound with high-purity alcohol until there was no black blood oozing out. With a knife cleaned with alcohol, he precisely cut off the rotten flesh that was bitten by the opponent, and then used a stapler to stitch the wound together to stop the bleeding. And finally, he wrapped the wound tightly with that kind of large industrial tape...
——This was the inspiration he got in a gangster drama about wanting to become a Gang-star.
Although the processing process looked ridiculously simple, the effect was immediate.
After finishing treating the wound, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead. After clenching his fist a few times to make sure that he would basically have no problem persisting until the test was over, Bai Zhi crawled out from under the bed.
It was just that when he carefully walked to the door and wanted to explore the current situation, the stench unique to the corpse mixed with the sound of breaking the air came from above his head.
- The corpse has never left.
At the juncture of life and death, Bai Zhi directly used one of the two child dolls obtained from Beard Guy to avoid this fatal attack without any hesitation.
And when he ran to the safe distance and looked back, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched slightly.
"...So did you eat Chop-Chop Fruit as well?"
Just like the other party ripped off his head from his body under extreme anger, the footsteps Bai Zhi heard the other party leaving earlier was the misunderstanding caused by the action of the other party tearing off one of his own legs and letting it walk away alone... The IQ of this corpse was far higher than he imagined.
"Tsk...is this a part of the test as well? Telling players to never take them for idiots..."
Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Zhi glanced at the foot that was returning to his body, and without hesitation, he turned around and ran.
The few simple grenades he made earlier still caused some trouble to the other party. Under the splash attack of those splashing iron nails and blades, the other party's forcibly spliced body became even more broken, and black blood constantly flowed to the ground.
But Bai Zhi’s actions like this also irritated the other party more and more. Although the other party's speed was slower than his, the other party could
—- Throw his head!
And judging from the previous situation, the other party would not only throw his head, but also throw his limbs...
………………………………
On the other side, in the real world.
With the passage of time, Gentle Smile and Soft Heart have completely lost the ability to move, and because of the cold breath that seemed to be everywhere, Beard Guy's complexion has also become extremely pale and his body was very cold.
It was foreseeable that if Black and White, who they had pinned their hope on, failed to accomplish his goal, all of them would be frozen to death by the fire.
The corpse fragments that had been doused with gasoline were set on fire. While the flames rose with the smell of burnt stench, Beard Guy also staggered back to the fire and put all the things that could make a fire into the fire.
——If he didn't keep the flame strong all the time, he felt that Gentle Smile and Soft Heart, who were in the worst state, would probably die.
At this moment, holding a fruit knife tightly in her hand, as if she had made up his mind, Night Owl in the best condition abruptly stood up by the fire.
"What are you doing?"
Looking at the pale Night Owl who suddenly stood up in front of him, Beard Guy couldn't help but frown slightly.
It was just that Night Owl completely ignored him. While slashing her arm with the fruit knife in her hand, she ran to the mirror that was placed on the ground in the lobby on the first floor.
After a few seconds, Night Owl's figure also disappeared.
"Do you want to help... Wait, if you're going to help, why do you only bring a knife with you?"
……………………………………………………
"Tsk, the worst situation has happened..."
Covering his right arm with one hand, Bai Zhi sat against the wall in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, frowning fiercely.
The black finger marks that appeared on the body had a special curse that could absorb physical strength. Because Gentle Smile and Soft Heart was saved by Beard Guy twice in a row, there were two curses on her body... In a way, Beard Guy made her situation even worse.
And Bai Zhi’s condition was even worse. His physique was half-crippled at six points, and he had black finger marks on his neck. In theory, he could only last for less than an hour before falling like Gentle Smile and Soft Heart.
——In theory, time was enough.
But even if he saved his energy as much as possible and supplemented his battery life with the sweets he hated the most, in the process of fighting against the walking corpse, his energy was inevitably consumed a lot.
Now, according to his own estimation, he could still move for about ten minutes, and then he would fall down. The disadvantage of his poor physique was too obvious.
In the process of being chased by the corpse, the right arm of the last piece of the corpse puzzle has also been found, and it was placed on the top floor of the stairway leading to the rooftop. As an item from the real world, it was quite recognizable in this illusory space.
However, although he found it, he couldn't get close at all. In a narrow place like the entrance of the stairs, before he could touch the right arm, the corpse had 100 ways to kill him.
And as soon as he got close to it, the mummy would rush towards that direction frantically. It was at the entrance of the stairs that his second child doll was also used.
"I have to find a way to divert it away for ten minutes..."
Just when Bai Zhi was thinking about his next move quickly in his heart, a figure he never expected appeared in the hall on the first floor.
"...Night owl?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was holding a knife in one hand, blood was flowing from her left arm, and her eyes were still vaguely filled with tears because of the pain, Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze for a while.
"Black and White?"
Soon, Night Owl found him sitting here leaning against the wall. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm here to help, what should I do next... this?"
Keenly noticed the sight of the other party, Night Owl raised the fruit knife in her hand without hesitation.
"Like you said before, I have to learn to use other emotions to replace fear. Pain is the best way I can think of. Pain can make me temporarily forget about fear... It almost hurts me to death."
"..."
