It was a tattoo of the letter "N", which seemed to coincide with what Jiang Qiqi described as the North Society.
What surprised her even more was that she had seen this tattoo not long ago.
It was on the foot of a man named Jiangnan, a rather discreet location. If it weren't for the fact that the man had injured his ankle and needed medicine, she wouldn't have seen it.
The North Society, Jiangnan. It seems that appearances can be deceiving. She had wanted to push herself off the car to feed herself to the zombies as soon as she met him.
Fortunately, she didn't continue to stay with him. Otherwise, she would have become bait for the zombies.
Thinking about this, Tan xinger couldn't help but feel proud of her keen insight. She had spotted Gu Jingyong, the golden thigh, at first glance.
Keep it up, Comrade Xiao Tan!
Jiang Qiqi looked at Tan xinger, who suddenly looked proud, with a momentary confusion in her eyes.
After Jiang Qiqi quieted down, no one else spoke. The corridor was unusually quiet, with only the sound of footsteps from a few people.
Climbing up floor by floor, Tan xinger and Jiang Qiqi were already a bit tired when they reached the nineteenth floor, panting with their hands on their knees.
"How about resting for a while and waiting for Gaoxin and Si Qiao?" Jiang Qiqi suggested.
"They should not have come up from here if there's been no movement downstairs for so long," Tan xinger replied, and Sun Hao agreed.
"There must be more than one passage. We can only meet up on the rooftop."
"Okay," Jiang Qiqi nodded, continuing to climb the stairs with her weary legs.
"Bang!"
The silence of the corridor was suddenly broken, and everyone looked up, startled by the noise.
Sun Hao's face turned serious, and he continued to climb up step by step. The three people followed closely, their faces filled with tension.
Another corner, Sun Hao looked at the open doorway and felt that something was wrong. He rushed over to close the door.
But he was a step too slow. A dark figure rushed out of the door and pounced on them.
Jiang Qiqi looked at the dark figure, its grim face sticking out a long tongue. She desperately swung her knife and began to hack at the zombie in front of her.
"Die! Die!"
Jiang Qiqi felt resistance and knew she had hit the mark. When she opened her eyes, there were several bloodstains on the zombie's face from her slashes, and the bloodthirsty eyes stared at her.
Remembering what Sun Hao had taught her, Jiang Qiqi held her breath, using all her strength to stab the long knife into the zombie's chest.
But luck was not on her side this time. The zombie dodged her attack, and the long knife only stabbed a few inches in before the zombie's palm pushed it aside, and the knife rolled to the side, hitting the corner of the wall.
"Ah!"
Jiang Qiqi was pounced on by the zombie, and the zombie tightly squeezed her neck, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
The zombie's long tongue extended, inching closer to Jiang Qiqi's neck.
Tan xinger pushed the zombie away with force, looking at Jiang Qiqi, who was stunned with fear, and pulled her up.
"Let's go."
Tan xinger's voice gradually brought Jiang Qiqi back to her senses, and she held Tan xinger's hand tightly, following behind her.
Seeing that Jiang Qiqi was safe, Sun Hao finally relaxed. He fiercely pushed away the zombie in front of him.
The dagger stabbed into the zombie's chest, and when it was pulled out, blood splattered all over the wall.
"Sun Hao!"
Song Qing's cry for help came, and everyone looked over, only to see Song Qing being entangled by a zombie, pressed against the wall, and about to be bitten.
Seeing this, Sun Hao could only throw the dagger with all his strength, piercing the zombie's back and giving Song Qing a few seconds of opportunity.
Song Qing rushed towards the stairs, but unexpectedly, her clothes were caught by the zombie and she was pulled backward uncontrollably.
However, just as she fell, at the last moment, she reached out her hand and grabbed Tan xinger, pulling her towards her.
"Xinger!"
Jiang Qiqi hadn't recovered yet and it was too late for her to pull her back.
She could only watch helplessly as Tan xinger and Song Qing fell together, with zombies constantly pouring in from the side.
Tan xinger was completely stunned, not feeling any pain because Song Qing and the zombie were pressing her down.
It wasn't until the withered hand of the zombie reached towards her face that she reacted, pushing herself to the side with all her might.
The zombie pounced on her, and Tan xinger had nowhere to retreat, so she could only use her feet to kick.
The movement was too forceful, stretching the muscles on her back, and a tearing sensation instantly struck, causing her motion to veer off course.
"Huh."
The zombie grabbed her shoulder, and the foul smell overwhelmed Tan xinger, making it hard for her to breathe. She desperately squeezed the zombie's neck with her hands to keep it away.
"Get off."
Tan xinger kicked the zombie one after another, but the zombie's hand remained motionless.
The long tongue came at her, and at the last moment, Tan xinger forcefully turned her head to avoid the attack.
With a "thud," the tongue hit the ground, splattering sticky fluid onto Tan xinger's hair, instantly melting a strand of hair with a sizzle, emitting a burnt smell.
Tan xinger was shocked. The zombie's attacks were getting stronger and stronger. Was she really unable to escape?
Tan xinger's hands gradually lost strength, her arms trembling and bending, and the zombie's tongue came down towards her. Tan xinger subconsciously closed her eyes.
The imagined excruciating pain did not occur. Instead, she felt a lightness on her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Qiqi rolling on the ground nearby.
It turned out that Jiang Qiqi had just knocked the zombie away with herself, rolling uncontrollably into the room.
Tan xinger endured the pain and stood up, walking towards Jiang Qiqi, but a zombie pounced on her, knocking her to the other side.
Her head hit the wall, and Tan xinger cursed silently in her heart. Seeing stars, she climbed up, kicked the zombie fiercely on the ground.
"Qiqi, run!"
Unable to control her feet, Tan xinger somehow stumbled to Jiang Qiqi's side. The two looked at the approaching zombies and ran towards the door together.
Sun Hao had just killed a zombie and was entangled again. Dodging a zombie's long tongue, he saw Song Qing getting up and forcefully closing the corridor door.
"Bang!" A sound made Tan xinger and Jiang Qiqi both dumbfounded. The corridor door closed, and the zombies turned to attack them.
Four or five pairs of crimson eyes stared at them, and Tan xinger stepped back step by step.
Jiang Qiqi was obviously scared too, staring incredulously at the direction of the door, trembling all over.
"Run!"
After Tan xinger gave the order, she grabbed Jiang Qiqi's hand and ran desperately.
Unable to distinguish the direction, they only knew that they had to run hard to survive, with the sound of the zombies chasing them getting closer and closer.
Tan xinger's head slowly cleared, pulling Jiang Qiqi and rushing into a room.
Close the door, lock it.
Tan xinger leaned against the door, panting heavily, while Jiang Qiqi sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
"Wuuu, I'm so scared."
Jiang Qiqi choked, sitting on the ground and crying.
Tan xinger was about to approach, but she heard the sound of impact behind her, and she reflexively leaned against the door, afraid of being knocked open by the zombies.
Looking around, this seemed to be an independent office, with frosted glass on three sides. The blood from the zombies' hands stuck to it, reminiscent of Sadako's appearance.
After making sure that the glass door would not be knocked open, Tan xinger slowly moved towards Jiang Qiqi and collapsed on the ground with her.
"That woman called Song Qing, right?"
Tan xinger gritted her teeth, thinking of Song Qing closing the door without hesitation, she wanted to rush up and pull her hair!
"Wuuu, why did Sister Qing close the door? Obviously, it was her fault that you were caught by the zombies."
Jiang Qiqi felt sad when she thought of the person she saw when the door closed for a moment.
They say in the instance dungeon, it's either you die or I live, but she never thought it would happen to her one day.
"People will be damned for their own sake, but I still want to beat her up."
Tan xinger clenched her fists, filled with extreme anger.
"What should we do now? Will Sun Hao come to save us?"
Jiang Qiqi wiped away her tears, trembling as she looked at the zombies outside.
"We have to save ourselves."
Tan xinger stood up, looking around for something, but after looking for a while, she couldn't find anything that could be used as a weapon. Their own daggers and Jiang Qiqi's long knife were lost long ago.
"How about using this?"
Jiang Qiqi lifted a office chair with force, then put it down tremblingly.
Tan xinger shook her head, but soon her gaze returned to the chair.
"Qiqi, do you know how to roller skate?"
Tan xinger looked at her eagerly.
"Not really."
Jiang Qiqi shook her head.
"Then you know a little, right? That's enough!"
Tan xinger said, rushing to the chair and starting to tinker with it.
After more than ten minutes, almost the entire glass wall was covered with blood handprints left by the zombies. Tan xinger crawled out from under the desk, stretched her numb legs, and walked towards the door.
"Xing Zi, can this really work?"
Jiang Qiqi trembled as she supported herself against the desk, following her gaze downward to see that her heels were tied with cloth strips to two wheels.
Tan xinger did the same. After she walked to the door, she pushed against the wall with her hands, and her whole body slid forward, much faster than walking.
"How's that? It's a bit uncomfortable on the heels," Tan xinger said, tapping her heels on the ground, making a thud sound.
"I'll give it a try," Jiang Qiqi said, her eyes gleaming as she moved along with the support of the desk.
The wheels on the chair she used were smaller than Tan xinger's, but they were still fast and easy for her to control. After skating back and forth a few times, she excitedly looked at Tan xinger and nodded.
"Alright, let's seize the opportunity to escape," Tan xinger said, moving to the side of the door and gesturing for Jiang Qiqi to stay back.
Jiang Qiqi nodded, holding the disassembled chair in her hands, her expression serious as she watched Tan xinger's movements.
As the doorknob turned, Tan xinger left just before the zombies rushed in.
The zombies poured in and followed her, entering the hallway that had been arranged in advance with tables and chairs, everything going according to plan.
