Lin Tian had never run so fast in his life. The air in his lungs was sucked out again and again, and the scenery in the past two weeks was constantly changing.
Behind him, a zombie with a distorted face was running after him. It was about to kill him and tear him into pieces.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it. I really should have checked the almanac before I went out today!"
Lin Tian was originally just an ordinary medical school graduate. A few days after graduating from university, he found a good job.
However, this job sounded nice during the recruitment process. Not only was it exploiting the employees, but the environment also made it difficult to explain easily. Every day, there were colleagues who were pulled away because of an unknown disease.
For an entire month, he did not rest at all. The salary he received was also pathetic.
On the 31st night of overtime, Lin Tian finally could not suppress the anger in his body, so he—
He had died suddenly.
When Lin Tian opened his eyes again, he was in the middle of another empty road, surrounded by wild grass.
He did not know where he was, but it was definitely not the Cerulean Planet. The terrain in front of him had also changed drastically from where he lived.
"Why is there no one on the road? There's even a faint stench in the air. Did I transmigrate to some ancient era to obtain a heaven-defying inheritance…" he jokes.
Lin Tian covered his swollen face and walked aimlessly on the streets. Right now, he only wanted to return to Cerulean Planet as soon as possible. He did not want to leave a bad impression on his boss on his first day of work.
What he didn't know was that "good days" were yet to come.
Not long after, a strange figure suddenly appeared by the roadside.
The figure looked like a dog and was about the same size as the chihuahua on the Cerulean Planet. However, it had three heads and six eyes that stared at him in unison. There was a strange light flickering in its eyes. Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly changed his path and continued forward.
There were many similar strange creatures. There were birds and humanoids. Spirits, vampires, slimes were everywhere. They were very different from the creatures on the Cerulean Planet. The only thing they had in common was the way they looked at Lin Tian.
He felt that these creatures were looking at him as if they were looking at… a delicacy.
Lin Tian became more and more flustered. As he walked, he hid in a small restaurant.
It was because he could see through the glass that the boss inside was very normal. Like Lin Tian, he did not have any extra heads or limbs. For the current him, meeting a normal person was good news.
He pushed the door open and entered. Other than the boss, there were still many demons and ghosts inside. Just now, when Lin Tian encountered these monsters outside, he hid far away. Now, he could finally sit down and observe these creatures from the other world.
There were also quite a few differences in the appearance of these monsters. Some were orcs with fierce faces but wearing suits and ties, and some were mackerel spirits with fish heads and holding knives and forks in their hands.
The only thing they had in common was the drool in their eyes as they looked at Lin Tian. The latter could not help but feel a little scared.
"Boss, do you have a menu?"
Since he was here, he would take things as they came! Moreover, Lin Tian had been running around for a few hours and was indeed a little hungry.
Only then did the boss turn around. The sharp Mediterranean hairstyle made Lin Tian unable to look away. He heard the former say gloomily, "Young man, you need gold coins to eat here."
Lin Tian quickly looked around. No matter what kind of deformed monster it was, he took out coins from his pocket and handed them to the waiter or placed them at the front desk.
The coin was somewhat different from the Cerulean Planet's coins, but it was made of copper. On the front was the symbol of a sword, and on the back was a flower.
"This… I don't have money. Can I work here?"
Lin Tian only wanted to guard against the demonic creatures around him and get close to the boss at the same time to find a way back. He did not understand the boss's hidden meaning at all.
The boss chuckled and nodded slightly.
"Of course you can. But you might be in some danger here. I don't think you're a native here."
"The smell on your body is a fatal temptation to the creatures here. Your life can be in danger at any time."
Speaking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Lin Tian was overjoyed. This is great. This person indeed knows some inside information. Perhaps he came from the Cerulean Planet like me.
Just as he was about to confirm his guess with the boss, a bloody mouth quickly enlarged in his peripheral vision.
Lin Tian was shocked and rolled to the side in a sorry state. Half of the wooden stool he had been sitting on had been eaten.
"F*ck…"
If he had not dodged quickly, his outcome would have been even more miserable than this stool.
He took a closer look and saw an abominable-looking zombie on all fours. Its eyeballs were bulging out of its eye sockets as it stared at Lin Tian. Saliva flowed from its mouth to the ground.
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such delicacies…"
A hoarse voice came out of the zombie's mouth. It seemed that this zombie's social status was not low. The other demonic creatures looked at the scene in front of them with interest, but they did not snatch the food.
The next moment, the zombie attacked for the second time. It opened its mouth and attacked Lin Tian.
Lin Tian gritted his teeth to keep himself calm. He picked up a rolling pin from the table and stabbed it into the zombie's throat.
"Boss, save me!"
Lin Tian roared. Unexpectedly, the amiable boss seemed to have become a completely different person. He looked at Lin Tian with the same drooling gaze. One of his hands clenched into a fist and trembled uncontrollably, as if he could not suppress his appetite.
Fuck!
Lin Tian cursed in his heart. So, this boss is treating me like a delicacy. What a waste of my feelings!
Before the zombie could react, he stepped on its head and left the restaurant.
Hence, there was the first scene—Lin Tian running wildly and the zombies chasing him.
The zombie was only a few feet away from catching up to Lin Tian, but it lost sight of him at a corner.
In front of them was a dilapidated alley. The zombies stopped and moved forward bit by bit.
After about ten minutes, a water tank at the corner was opened from the inside. Lin Tian pushed the lid to the side and took in large mouthfuls of air. His body was covered in sticky and smelly liquid.
"Damn it, it's disgusting."
He had been running for a long time. If Lin Tian hadn't trained on the track and field team for a while, he would have been lying on the ground with ordinary stamina.
He climbed out of the tank, shook off the unknown liquid on his body, and walked in the opposite direction of the zombie. At the same time, Lin Tian's stomach growled.
"I don't know where to go to eat a full meal today."
He muttered to himself, but he didn't notice the shadow that appeared behind him.
"You don't know, but I do."
Hearing this voice, Lin Tian trembled.
"Little cutie, your scent is so tempting. Where else do you want to hide?"
Lin Tian turned around. The black shadow rapidly enlarged in front of him and pounced on him. It was the zombie that had just bypassed him.
So that was how it was. The reason why he was able to deceive them was not because he hid well, but because the smell of the liquid in the water tank was too strong and overshadowed the smell on his body. These zombies relied on their smell to determine their location.
He didn't have the mood to think too much because the zombie's saliva was about to drip onto his face. At this moment, the two of them were in a stance.
Looks like this is where I'm going to end up. Dad, Mom, if there's an afterlife, I'll definitely look around carefully!
Just as Lin Tian was disheartened, an ethereal female voice sounded in his ears.
