Zhou Ruins: Unreal Dimension 1

Chapter 15 Oil Lamp
The ringing of the bell this time is different from the first time, the extremely fast and sharp tinkling sound is like a death knell, seeming to urge the living beings to sink into silence.

In the distance, a large wave of corpses could be vaguely seen rushing forward.

Surrounded by roars, it was like a demon whispering in his ears.

"You have to find a place to hide first."

There was only a small residential area next to the school, so they went straight into the nearest building hole.

He climbed to the eighth floor in one breath and stopped. He was so tired that he had no energy left. He tore off the mask and lay down on the ground panting violently.

The black blood on his body had solidified, but he still exuded a disgusting aura.

Stomach acid couldn't help but began to churn, and his vision gradually became blurred.

After resting for a while, my body was still in a state of exhaustion, and I couldn't even stand firmly.

"squeak--"

Just when he was about to continue climbing up, a door opened broke the silence in the corridor.

"Kick-kick-kick-"

The shoes hit the ground and slowly approached Liu An.

His body trembled suddenly, for some reason, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, making it difficult to move a step.

His neck was also extremely stiff, and he wanted to turn around, but he didn't dare.

He didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Hey, I just said how I heard the voice of a living person just now. I thought I heard it wrong. It turns out that there is really a person here."

A hearty voice sounded behind him.

Liu An breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the steps.

Only then did he regain his composure, and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Why are you alone? What about your family? Do you also live in this building?"

The man quickly walked up to him and stretched out his right hand to pull him up.

This man looked about 30 years old, not tall, wearing thick glasses, with a thin body, he looked very gentle.

"I escaped from school. The bell just now triggered a wave of corpses, so I hid here nearby."

Liu An panted heavily and explained.

"Hey, it's not easy to escape. It's already considered a very lucky few."

"By the way, you weren't scratched or bitten by the living dead, were you?"

"of course not."

He still walked around Liu An, and after confirming that there was really no wound on his body, he was completely relieved.

"It's fine if you don't have one. Why don't you come to my house to rest for a while, eat something and drink some water to replenish your strength, then change your clothes, wipe your body to remove the smell, or it will affect your appetite too much."

The man was also looking at Liu An, frowning as he stared at his clothes covered in black flesh.

"Thank you... thank you."

Liu An was tired, sleepy, thirsty and hungry at this time, when he heard his invitation, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he answered without thinking much.

"You are welcome, in the last days, we survivors should help each other."

"My surname is Li, you can call me Brother Li."

Brother Li chuckled, and then helped him back to his home.

"This is my wife, also surnamed Li, just call her Mrs. Li."

"This is my daughter, named Li Jingjing, who just turned nine years old the day before yesterday."

"Come to Jingjing, say hello to brother."

Brother Li enthusiastically introduced his family to Liu An.

"Big brother, hello."

The little girl hid behind Mrs. Li, her brows were timid, and her big watery eyes blinked very cutely.

"Hello, my name is Liu An, thank you for taking me in."

"You're welcome, come in quickly, I'll get you some food and water."

Mrs. Li replied with a smile, then walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

"Jingjing, take brother to the house to rest first, and then bring a set of clothes from the closet to brother. Dad will go over and help mother first."

The little girl nodded obediently.

Liu An supported the wall and followed behind Jingjing.

The size of the house is not small, and the windows are all covered with a special kind of cloth so that it is impenetrable.

The room was not too dark, as oil lamps were lit at intervals.

It's just that he seems to have smelled the smell from these oil lamps somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.

The little girl skillfully lit the oil lamp by the bed, and then found a neat set of clothes in the closet.

But one thing he didn't expect was that the little girl didn't feel any discomfort with the smell on his body.

"Big brother, after you have a good rest this time, can you not sneak away like those people before, it's very impolite, and mom and dad will be very sad."

Jingjing seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and her little hands squeezed her skirt uneasily.

Looking at the cute little girl with her mouth pouting in front of her, Liu An's tense heartstrings were also relaxed.

"Okay, brother promises you, I will play with Jingjing after my brother has rested."

"Then brother, you have to tell me stories like those brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts who came here before."

"Okay, listen to Jingjing."

Liu An lovingly rubbed her head. The little girl in front of him touched his thoughts and reminded him of his cuter sister.

It's just that something happened later, my sister went to a far away place, and it took a long, long time to come back.

As for the reason, no matter how much he begged, the family refused to tell him.

Even the younger sister faltered in the face of Liu An's confusion and refused to speak.

At this time, Brother Li walked in with a towel full of water.

"Wipe your body first, or it will be very uncomfortable if you are so sticky."

"Thank you Brother Li."

"Hey, you've said it before, you're welcome, just keep it in your own home, then you clean up first, and we'll go out first."

After saying that, Brother Li pulled Jingjing out of the room.

The sticky clothes were already on his body, and it took a lot of effort to get them off.

Liu An wiped his body vigorously, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"I wish I had thought more."

After changing into that neat set of clothes, I feel much more comfortable, but the size is a little too big.

After a while, Brother Li knocked on the door, confirmed that he had changed his clothes, and then walked into the room with a plate of bread.

Aunt Li followed closely behind and put three bottles of mineral water on the bed.

"Sleep well when you're full, refresh your spirits, and just call us if you have anything to do."

"Then I won't bother you, and we'll have a good chat when you wake up."

Liu An gratefully expressed countless thanks again.

After closing the door, he shook off the anxiety that suddenly surged in his heart, then opened a bottle of mineral water and filled it with his head up, and the bottle bottomed out after just a few sips.

Regardless of how he ate, he grabbed the bread and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it before he could chew it.

It turns out that bread can be so delicious when you are hungry.

After the turmoil, Liu An lay on the bed contentedly, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"Clean clothes are still comfortable to wear, except for the damn corpse smell, which won't dissipate within three or two days."

"I'm so sleepy, I'd better take a nap first, maybe it's because my spirit has been in a tense state, so I thought about it."

Liu An untied the dagger from his left arm and put it under the pillow.

When the dagger came, he was taken away by Li Geshun, saying that he wanted to clean it up for him.

After stretching before going to bed, he turned over, picked the most comfortable position, and prepared to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the eyes whose eyelids were still fighting a moment ago suddenly widened.

"No! There is something wrong with the clothes! Brother Li is not tall and very thin. His clothes should feel small to me, but why do they still feel big?"

Liu An sat up suddenly, looking at the slightly yellowed white shirt on his body, he lost all sleepiness.

He turned his gaze to the side, staring closely at the yellow oil lamp with dancing flames, and the cold sweat gradually broke out on his body.

Because, he suddenly remembered a murder scene that Sui Ling went to a long time ago.

All the victims were stripped of their human skin, and their bodies were hung upside down on the beams by the murderer.

Strangely, everyone searched all corners of the scene, but still failed to find the whereabouts of the human skin.

At that time, there was an indescribable fragrance on the scene, but everyone was frightened by the cruel scene before them, so no one paid attention to the source of the fragrance.

Only Ling Ji realized something was wrong in an instant, and noticed the burning oil lamps on the scene.

Cold sweat had already wet his shirt.

Because those lost human skins were refined into human oil by the perverted murderer.

At this time, the oil lamp beside his bed gave off the same smell as the one that permeated the scene.

The color of the lamp oil was also the same, and the beating outer flame seemed to be responding to his guess.

Suddenly, Liu An felt that his mind was getting heavy and his breathing rate was gradually decreasing.

The pain of suffocation came oncoming, like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to extricate itself.

"warn:……"
