With Bai Youwei temporarily out of commission, Shen MO had to continue to lead the team.
He turned around, looking at their surroundings, and found that this place was a restaurant. There was a cash register at the entrance. Inside, there were many tables and chairs and decorative paintings hung on the walls, but all had turned flesh-like.
Everything had turned red and bloody. Even the air was filled with the salty stench of raw meat.
He had left in a hurry earlier, temporarily placing Bai Youwei on a chair covered in flesh lumps. Now, looking at her pale face, it seemed she was frightened.
Tan Xiao, out of curiosity, also pulled out a chair, touched it, and then tried to sit on it. His expression was subtle.
“…It feels like sitting on someone’s lap.” He muttered as he stood up, feeling uncomfortable and didn’t sit for long.
Chang Weicai was more interested in Shen Mo’s actions when he rushed out earlier, and asked, “What was that thing that crawled by? Is it aggressive?”
Shen MO shook his head calmly, “Not sure, but it does attack those small creatures. It devoured all dozens of them near the bus stop sign. This creature seems to have a huge appetite.”
After a pause, he added, “Its body seems to grow larger after it feeds.”
“It gets bigger?” Tan Xiao wore a nauseated expression, “This is the fastest maggot I’ve ever seen. What would it look like if it got any bigger?”
“Stop talking…” Bai Youwei gritted her teeth, feeling so nauseated that her skin was tingling.
Seeing her , Shen MO felt a bit helpless and slightly amused, trying to reassure everyone.
“Whatever it is, let’s share our thoughts first. Should we stick to the original plan and look for the main organs, or try to figure out what’s going on with that creature?”
After all, they could not always be so lucky to find a hiding place nearby.
If they could not avoid it next time, would they have the strength to confront that big “snake”?
Chang Weicai frowned, “Everything is unknown now. We don’t know how many creatures there are, nor whether their movements are random… or follow a certain pattern…”
While they spoke, both Chang Weicai and Tan Xiao subtly glanced at Bai Youwei.
“Why are you all looking at me? I don’t know anything!” Bai Youwei felt uncomfortable all over, closed her eyes and asked, “Is there water?” Shen MO put down the bag and pulled a bottle of mineral water out of it.
The bottle was filled with mint sugar water.
Bai Youwei took two sips and managed to suppress the feeling of nausea.
“No rush.” Shen MO said calmly, “We’ve just come in. Let’s think about it together and we’ll find a way out.”
Bai Youwei frowned, nodded slightly.
She took another sip of water. Thinking about the environment in the maze, she frowned even tighter, decided to save some water, put the cap back on, and returned the bottle to Shen Mo.
At this moment, a cough suddenly broke the silence in the room.
Tan Xiao looked at Chang Weicai, Chang Weicai looked at Shen MO, Shen MO looked at Bai Youwei, and Bai Youwei was completely baffled.
In the end, everyone turned their attention to Pan Xiaoxin, the youngest member of the team.
“Do you want some water?” Bai Youwei handed him the bottle.
Pan Xiaoxin waved his hand awkwardly, “No… it wasn’t me who coughed.”
Everyone paused again, looking at each other, their faces gradually tightening with suspicion…
There were others hiding in the room apart from them?
Shen MO furrowed his brow looking around, finally, his gaze landed on the kitchen area of the restaurant.
He took the dagger and slowly approached.
Tan Xiao picked up his baseball bat intending to follow, but Shen MO stopped him, silently making a “stop” gesture, telling everyone to stay put.
He continued to move forward.
The door to the kitchen was on the right side of the restaurant. The door was closed, but since it had already turned into a piece of meat, it naturally lost its corresponding safety features. The lock was useless.
Shen MO stopped in front of the door.
He grabbed the door handle, which was covered in meat lumps, and gave it a little force. The door opened..
