Chapter 431 - Too Difficult for Them (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

This was a corridor made from dead bodies and covered in red moss. Chen Ge remembered the reminder—he had to maintain complete silence inside the red corridor. It was Lee Zheng who had told him that, but he did not tell Chen Ge why. He had only said that was what the school staff had told him. Will the noise wake the bodies in the wall?

Seeing the faces in the wall, Chen Ge softened his movement—his every step was the epitome of caution. With the white cat leading the way, he was not that worried. However, after he took a few steps, Chen Ge suddenly heard sound coming from behind him—it sounded like people running in the corridor.

The two workers are afraid of me; they wouldn’t have come into the corridor if not necessary. This mean they were in danger, probably ran into some monsters.

With the increased movement, Chen Ge could feel the whole corridor shaking. As the footsteps echoed down the passage, the ‘moss’ started to leak red liquid. Much of the ‘moss’ from above his head, next to his body, and under his feet started to peel to reveal the many faces. They were so well-preserved that one could easily mistake them for being alive.

Their lashes quivered. When the red liquid slid past their faces, their skin seemed to be revitalized, and their eyelids twitched like they would open in the next second. Chen Ge did not dare stay in the corridor any longer. The area was too cramped, and if the bodies in the wall woke up, he had a feeling he would be buried alive.

Buried alive by the bodies and stay here forever, becoming one of them?

Chen Ge took in a cold breath, and he had a vague idea why there were so many dead bodies there. He moved faster to catch up to the white cat.

The corridor was very long, and the surroundings were all blood red. ‘Moss’ was still falling, and the bodies that formed the foundation of the wall vibrated slightly. Some of the bodies seemed to hear the noise, and they tried to extricate themselves from the rest. The whole corridor was shaking, and cracks appeared on the wall. Eventually, arms fell out from the ceiling!

The scene would make anyone’s skin crawl. Even Chen Ge’s heart was racing, much less a normal person. Holding his hands above his head, Chen Ge practically crawled forward. The arms that fell from the ceiling felt like they were grabbing after him. The sound behind him was nearing, and the bodies in the wall slowly awakened. Chen Ge could sense their movement.

This three-star scenario is more dangerous than I thought.

If the corridor collapsed then, even if he summoned all of his employees, it would have been useless. Only Zhang Ya would be able to use her long hair to force an opening for Chen Ge. The ghosts were only one of the standards to gauge the danger level of a scenario; some of the scenarios were naturally dangerous. For example, this underground morgue, due to it being built underground, was hard to be taken down.

The white cat’s call came from ahead of him. After consuming the society’s blood, the white cat had become smarter. It too could sense the changes in the corridor, and it called urgently for Chen Ge to come out. Since the bodies were awakening, Chen Ge threw caution to the wind and started running.

Some parts of the corridor were completely blocked by the red ‘moss’, and Chen Ge could only use his body to force his way through. If not for the fact that Chen Ge knew where the white cat was, he probably would not have charged forward so heedlessly.

The ‘moss’ peeled off, and the fragrant liquid stuck to his body. In this creepy environment, Chen Ge felt like his body was enveloped by a warm mist, like he was sitting beside a heater in the winter, and his body temperature was slowly rising. If not for the impending danger, he might even have thought about staying there a bit longer.
