Extra Chapter for the week.

Liu Gan and Yin He arrived at the main building, Wang DeCheng was walking up to greet them. Since he still thought that Xu ChangHui and Zhou MingLiang had gone to the toilet, he was very worried as they had yet to return. He wanted to immediately report to Liu Gan about it. However, he couldn’t leave his post in the lobby as it was his duty, but he was also worried about their safety. Therefore, like an ant on a heated pan, he paced back and forth.

“Elder Liu, what is wrong?” Wang DeCheng saw that Xu ChangHui was covered in blood and getting dragged by the neck by Liu Gan. Wang DeCheng was frightened by what he saw as they walked closer.

“Wake everyone up.” Liu Gan said to Wang DeCheng.

Quickly, Wang DeCheng ran into the lobby and woke everyone up, as they all sat by the conglomerate of beds.

“Now tell everyone. Why did you kill Zhou MingLiang! If there’s even a hint of deceit in your words, I will chop your legs in half!” Liu Gan tossed Xu ChangHui on the ground in front of everyone.

Hearing that Zhou MingLiang was killed by Xu ChangHui, almost all team members were shocked. There’d been people constantly dying ever since their escape from the hospital. Precedently, it was the near-death experience with Zhou JingJing and Lee Miao by the bathroom, and now it was Zhou MingLiang.

“I didn’t mean to kill him! I saw my countryside wife! She tried to use her knife to kill me, so I was forced to retaliate. I didn’t think it was all a hallucination. I mistook Zhou MingLiang for my countryside wife. The moment I realized it, it was too late! I definitely didn’t mean to do that…” Xu ChangHui revealed everything the moment he heard Liu Gan’s threat.

“Zhou MingLiang is a chattery person, but he isn’t the type of person to be that daring! Whose idea was it to steal the yacht to escape? You better give me an honest answer!” Liu Gan shouted as he hefted his axe, menacingly pointing its head at Xu ChangHui’s legs.

“It was me… It was because I was too afraid! I feel that this island isn’t too safe! It’s best we leave this area, otherwise we will all be killed one by one by that Variant Zombie with its hallucinogenic ability, and then eventually we will have our brains eaten!” Xu ChangHui said outloud.

Xu ChangHui revealed the truth. Everything he had said was the fear of all the team members, and it brought it to the surface. They looked on at Xu ChangHui and started whispering amongst themselves.

First it was the earlier incident with Zhou JingJing and Lee Miao in the bathroom, and now this accident with Xu ChangHui and Zhou MingLiang! It seemed as though this monster of a Variant Zombie had a very powerful hallucinogenic-inducing ability. It could cause two people to fight amongst one another. No one could know for sure who was affected by the hallucinogenic ability in their group amongst them; even an all-out brawl was not entirely out of the question. This was simply too scary to think about.

“This island has no safe place! If you continue to stay here, you will all die! We should all convince Elder Liu to take the yacht and leave! I could lead you guys to the countryside…” Xu ChangHui noticed that his words had caused an effect, so he quickly changed the topic. He crossed his fingers in high hopes that Liu Gan would fail to remember he had attempted to seize the yacht behind their backs.
