14 Fogged Park - Part 1 (1/2)
Central Park certainly looked unsafe as it gave off a dangerous vibe. Even so, Tang Shaoyang decided to go as he planned. Taking a detour would take him eight hours or even more to reach his destination while taking the Central Park route would take him two to four hours at most.
Tang Shaoyang decided to pass through Central Park despite the unknown risk. Besides it would shorten his trip, he could also get to know what was inside Central Park.
Central Park was near the RSH Pudong, it was worth his time to investigate Central Park to get a glimpse of what was inside the park. So, taking a risk to enter Central Park was not solely to shorten his trips.
Cold, it was the difference between inside and outside of the park. As he passed through the fog, coldness seeped into his skin. Of course, the cold air was not out of his limit, it was still bearable, about twelve to fifteen degrees.
Besides the coldness, the fog also obstructed his view. His vision only reached about ten meters ahead of him. He could not see further as the thick fog.
Lu An himself was quite nervous and he instead did not feel the change in temperature. The limited vision made him uneasy as his eyes darted here and there, making sure there was no danger around him.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The duo ventured deeper, Lu An did not lower his guard as his grips on the butcher knife became tighter. He felt being watched, right from the back. But each time he looked back, there was nothing there.
'Fortunately, the temperature does not go lower…' Tang Shaoyang paid attention to every detail inside the park. With his vision limited only to ten meters, he paid to every small detail.
With a normal pace, Tang Shaoyang followed the paved road. Even with his vision obstructed by the fog, he only needed to follow the paved road to reach the other side of Central Park. Just like this, the duo already spent half an hour within Central Park, but nothing happened to him.
There were also no zombies popped out of the fog, it was quite safe. But it did not last long as Tang Shaoyang felt someone tugged his clothes. He looked back, it was, of course, Lu An who tugged his clothes.
”B-Boss, d-don't you feel there is something watching us? I feel there is something beyond the fog and that thing watches us…” Lu An said nervously as his eyes kept looking at the fog as he spoke.
Tang Shaoyang was surprised. He was surprised Lu An could feel it, the feeling being watched, not because there was something within the fog. He already felt it, but he did not say it out lest it would scare the youth.
'He has a keen sense…' Tang Shaoyang commented inwardly. As someone who grew up on the street and made a name himself by fighting, he got his sense sharpened as he was often followed by people who wanted to ambush him.
However, Lu An was different from him, from the look, Lu An came from a decent family. A white skin that was a sign for someone who rarely played outside and his expression that had not lost his naivety yet.
He was quite surprised that Lu An could feel it and he was also delighted at the same time.
'It seems my first follower has potential after all…'
”Don't worry about it, just follow me closely and you will be safe,” Tang Shaoyang tried to comfort the youth, but instead of comforting, Tang Shaoyang's words only made the youth even more nervous.
His words were telling the youth that there was truly something within the fog. But Lu An wisely followed Tang Shaoyang without words as he came even closer to the Boss.
Tang Shaoyang led the way with caution as he felt the change in the surroundings. Yes, after a short exchange with Lu An, suddenly the fog thickened. Now, his vision was limited to five meters. Not only Tang Shaoyang, but Lu An also noticed the change.
Bump! Bump! Bump!
His heart was beating madly as uneasiness filled his heart. The feeling he was being watched getting stronger. Then a sound entered his ears and at the same time, The Boss also stopped and his body bumped against Tang Shaoyang's strong body.
Pssk! Pssk! PssK!
The sound of movement passed through the bush resounded, indicating the things behind the fog began their movement. Based on the sound, Tang Shaoyang could tell the things that were coming at them not just one, but many.
”Get ready, they are coming!” Tang Shaoyang reminded the young Lu An with a strong caution which never happened before.
Lu An subconsciously gripped the butcher knife tighter as his bulging eyes looked straight at the fog. He had his back on Tang Shaoyang and Tang Shaoyang also trusted his back to Lu An.
After a short trip, Lu An already reached Level 3. It was still weak, but much better than the past Lu An. As for the attribute allocation, Tang Shaoyang did not interfere with it.
The sounds were getting stronger and stronger. An indication the things were coming closer. Lu An's back soaked in sweat, but his eyes showed a strong determination.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
Suddenly, there were many shadows leaped out of the fog and the things lunged toward him. Not just one, but many. The sudden appearance shocked Lu An, it was so fast that he failed to react.
Just as he thought he would be knocked down by these things, there was a big force pushing his back down. The force was strong enough, making him unable to resist. At the same, there was a strange sound entering his ears.
Weng!
Splash!
