Chapter 22 - Tear, Start, Shoot

"Hehe, hehehe."

The sound that seemed to be coming from the woman's windpipe sounded very strange.

The woman with her head lowered made a strange sound as she slowly raised her head.

"Oh my God!"

The security guard, who was originally distracted, immediately shouted in fear when he saw the face of the woman who raised her head!

How ugly was that face? The security guard's face turned green.

The other party's face was really too ugly. Half of her face was covered in yellow pustules.

There were melting pits everywhere on her skin, and one could see the muscle fibers inside.

Her eyes were completely blood-red. At the same time, something that looked like worms could be seen crawling in her eyes.

After the other party raised her head, she slowly stood up.

At this moment, the security guard realized that the front half of the woman's body had completely changed!

All kinds of disgusting pus seeped out of the other party's body.

All kinds of ugly scars covered her body like twisted centipedes.

"M-Miss?"

The security guard was at a loss and subconsciously squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Ow!"

Unfortunately, the woman opposite him did not respond to him with words.

Instead, she opened her mouth and let out a strange cry before pouncing on the security guard!

"Ah! Aaaah!!!!"

The security guard who could not dodge in time was instantly knocked down to the ground by the other party.

Then, a terrifying biting sound sounded. The security guard on the ground struggled in pain.

The two of them kept entangling, and blood splattered everywhere.

The mutated woman's movements seemed to act as a trigger.

Instantly, the people who had been drenched in the rain previously underwent a terrifying change.

Then, they pounced fiercely at the people in the hall with red eyes!

"Help! No! No!"

"Are you crazy? Security! Security!"

"Open the door, open the door. Don't block the door!"

"No, don't bite my newly grown chest. I just grew it!!!"

"Aaaah! My second brother is gone, my second brother!!!"

The entire hall instantly turned into a terrifying purgatory. There was blood and biting everywhere!

"Run! Run!"

At this moment, the people who had not been bitten rushed towards the door crazily!

Chu Xinghe ran towards the door in fear.

Behind him was a mutated short and fat man.

The short and fat man was Zhang Lizheng, who had been chatting happily with Chu Xinghe previously!

Previously, after the sky turned dark, Zhang Lizheng had also walked to the balcony curiously.

Therefore, he had also been drenched in the blood rain, causing an abnormality to happen not long after.

Chu Xinghe, who was being chased by Zhang Lizheng, fell halfway.

He hurriedly turned around, and saw that Zhang Lizheng was about to pounce on him.

At this moment, his eyes lit up when he saw the table at the side. He hurriedly crawled under the table.

Just as he climbed underneath, Chu Xinghe was shocked to discover that someone had already hidden under the table.

When the man under the table saw this, he suddenly reached out and pushed Chu Xinghe out again.

Chu Xinghe, who did not expect to be pushed out, immediately panicked.

He crawled in again on all fours, and at the same time tore and pulled at the person under the table.

In the end, he relied on his advantage of being young and strong to push the other party out!

The other person happened to be pushed into Zhang Lizheng's arms.

The mutated Zhang Lizheng hugged the other party and started nibbling.

Ignoring the tragic state and wails behind him, Chu Xinghe's face was already filled with fear.

He carefully climbed out of the other side of the table and looked around nervously.

After seeing that he was temporarily safe, he hurriedly crawled to the door on all fours.

When he reached out and touched the door handle, Chu Xinghe's face immediately revealed an excited expression.

Click, click!

The sound of the handle resonating made Chu Xinghe's face instantly turn pale.

He turned the handle in disbelief, and realized that he could turn it, but he could not open it!

It was as if something had blocked the door from the outside!

At this moment, on the other side of the door, Chu Xiu threw the key that was used to open the special door blocker to the side.

The door blocking device he had just installed was specially ordered from the security company.

It was specially designed for the door of such a hotel's banquet hall.

It was very difficult for the people inside to crack it after it was specially installed from the outside.

Of course, if someone had great strength, he could still create miracles.

However, in the current situation, Chu Xiu estimated that it would be very difficult for the people in the hall to open it.

However, there was more than one door in this banquet hall. There was also a safety fire escape.

However, Chu Xiu knew that this fire escape had long been modified.

According to the latest blueprint in his hand, the safe passage had already been sealed.

This was because the opposite side of the passageway had been modified into a hidden room.

As for its function, it was specially used for the eldest son of the Ye Family to cheat.

Therefore, now that he had locked the door of the hall, it would be very difficult for the people in the hall to come out.

It was not that he was vicious. Of course, even if he was vicious, he would admit it.

There were many mutated monsters in the hall at this moment. They were not like the zombies in the movies who walked slowly step by step.

Instead, all of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. All of them moved like lunatics.

Every mutated person's movements were abnormally violent and agile.

Moreover, they were not afraid of pain. All of them were unafraid of death, and were very difficult to deal with!

Moreover, once bitten, you would quickly be infected, and there was no medicine to treat it.

It could be said that it was a zombie with a berserk buff.

Only after becoming a warrior could he use his spiritual qi to eliminate the virus in his body!

However, Chu Xiu also knew that this door blocker wouldn't delay them for long.

There were so many powerful figures in the hall.

Soon, they would call for help from outside.

At that time, there would definitely be people who wanted to become rich risking their lives to save them.

Therefore, Chu Xiu had to obtain the second spirit origin pearl as soon as possible!

'Let's get the gun first! With the gun in hand, I'll have a way to protect myself!'

Chu Xiu hurriedly ran to the bathroom and found the pistol in the last cubicle.

After putting two spare magazines in his pocket, Chu Xiu rushed out with his gun.

When he arrived at the elevator, Chu Xiu pressed the switch. The stairs in this hotel were unique.

It was very safe, and it was not the time for electronic devices to fail on a large scale yet.

The elevator was still usable. Chu Xiu hurriedly entered the elevator, pressed the switch, and went straight to the fourth floor.

At the same time, Chu Xiu held the gun in his arms, and used his clothes to cover it. Then, he quietly waited for the elevator to move.

This hotel had a total of 60 floors. Including the basement, there was a total of 62 floors.

It didn't take a long time to travel there from the top floor.

At the 30th floor, the elevator stopped and opened.

Chu Xiu saw a bald, bespectacled man in his thirties standing at the elevator door. At the same time, he was on the phone and kept saying something.

When he saw Chu Xiu in the elevator, he didn't care. He continued to make calls at the elevator entrance with no intention of entering.

Chu Xiu frowned when he saw this. He didn't say anything, and reached out to press the button to close the elevator.

However, just as he pressed the button to close the door, the elevator door opened halfway.

Chu Xiu saw that it was the bespectacled bald man—he reached out to press the switch to prevent the elevator from closing.

"Are you going up?" Chu Xiu asked impatiently.

"I've told you, don't worry about that show. I've been a host for many years and have experience. Just listen to me when the time comes."

The other party completely ignored Chu Xiu's question, and spoke to the phone.

At this moment, Chu Xiu also realized that the other party looked familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the other party was a famous local host called Zhang Xiaoli.

The other party was very good at using harsh words to provoke the person being interviewed.

Not only was he extremely narrow-minded, but he was also petty, and could not bear to see others doing well.

Previously, the other party had even done a program to specially find the bosses of some third-rate companies to be guests.

Then, he would invite some people with outstanding educational backgrounds for the interview. During the interview, they would say harsh words to suppress the other party.

This created an interesting situation, often causing the interviewed person to be humiliated.

Previously, when the other party was doing a show, he had invited Chu Xiu's company, but the latter had rejected him.

However, later on, Chu Xiu heard that the other party had even mocked him in private, saying that he was arrogant but without the ability to back it up.

Of course, this was nothing to Chu Xiu.

Right now, the most important thing was that the other party was blocking his path!

After Chu Xiu saw that the other party was ignoring his question, he pressed the elevator button again.

At the same time, the hand in his arms moved slightly.

This time, the elevator door was about to close. However, just as it closed, the elevator door suddenly opened again.

"You said there are zombies? What zombies? Why haven't I seen them before?"

Outside the elevator, Zhang Xiaoli pressed the switch again with a mocking expression. He saw Chu Xiu's cold gaze in the elevator, and did not care at all.

He had just come out of the hotel room. He had stayed up all night planning the show, and had just woken up past noon.

He went out to make a call to discuss the program. The reason why he made a call while stopping at the elevator was because he was worried that the call would be cut off after entering the elevator.

As for whether the person in the elevator was anxious or not, it was none of his business. Moreover, when he saw the other party's anxious expression, he felt a little smug.

However, just as he was about to continue discussing the show, the other end of the phone suddenly said that there were zombies.

Then, there was a burst of noise, and the person's voice on the other end of the phone disappeared.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a roar. This made him feel that something was wrong, and he frowned.

"Hello? Hello…"

Just as Zhang Xiaoli was still on the phone,

he suddenly saw the young man in the elevator take out a pistol!

The moment he saw the young man take out his pistol, Zhang Xiaoli instantly felt a little stunned.

"Ha, haha, brother, this is a fake gun, right? You really know how to joke."

Zhang Xiaoli laughed and forced himself to be calm. At the same time, he was still thinking that the other party was holding a fake gun.

Chu Xiu looked at the other party's fake calmness, and did not say a word. He raised his gun, and shot the other party twice in the knees!

Bam! Bam!

"Aaaah, save me!!!"

The bullets pierced through the other party's knees, and immediately made him kneel on the ground!

Zhang Xiaoli hugged his legs and wailed in pain. His face had already turned pale from the pain!

Chu Xiu pressed the elevator button again. This time, the other party would not stop him.

He couldn't be bothered to kill the other party. Now that his legs were crippled, the other party couldn't move.

Chu Xiu was certain that it would not take long for the mutated monsters in the hall upstairs to come down.

At that time, the other party would really be better off dead. Chu Xiu could only say that the other party was foolish to provoke him!

  1. Second brother or little brother = male reproductive organs in Chinese slang. Curiously, Japanese slang calls it "son" instead.
  2. I think the author means that there are no special circumstances that would force ChX to take the stairs, but didn't write it explicitly due to a typo or brain fade.
