a zombie haunts me

Chapter 16 The Shortcut to Hell

I felt tens of thousands of ants crawling behind me, and the feeling of fear had almost completely engulfed me.

There is only one belief in my heart, I want to leave, I must leave here.

I thought that when I came, the driver had called me, and if I wanted to leave, he could pick me up.

I put my hands into my pockets in a panic, but unexpectedly, the phone was still on me.

I turned on the phone with trembling hands, and with the last battery remaining, I dialed the driver's number.

"Hey, I'm leaving Coffin Town. Where are you now? Come and pick me up. I'll pay no matter how much it costs."

The driver yawned on the phone. He thought for a while and said, "It's only six in the morning, I haven't woken up yet, and I'll pick you up at the entrance of the village at twelve noon."

"Okay, please come here on time no matter what, my phone is almost out of battery... Hey... Hey..."

Before I finished speaking, the phone was already blacked out.

It took me a lot of effort to finally reach the foot of the mountain, and the rotten wood residue at the entrance of the village still indicated the direction.

I found a hidden place to hide myself, and felt a little strange in my heart, why is that zombie not afraid of the sun at all even though it is daytime?

I looked up at the sky, it was cloudy today, and indeed I couldn't see the sun.

With a long sigh, I could only wait quietly for the driver to pick me up.

Even though it was only a few hours, it seemed like a whole day had passed for me. I could hear my stomach growling. I hadn't eaten for a long time.

Finally, before I was about to pass out from hunger, I saw a taxi staggering up.

I hurriedly stood up and waved to the taxi.

The taxi stopped next to me very quickly, and the skinny driver opened the window and asked with a smile: "Little girl, I knew you would not be able to take it. You see, it's only been a few days, so I'm right." .”

I ignored him, wishing to leave this place quickly, I got into the car, and the driver asked, "Where's your luggage?"

"I don't want it anymore, drive quickly, I must go back to the city before dark!"

Grandma didn't know that I came to Coffin Town. I just said that I was staying at a friend's house. I planned to tell her after everything was settled. Now that I think about it, it's best to hurry home.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

The driver said, and quickly started the car.

While driving, he asked me: "You haven't stayed these few days, you are leaving in a hurry, and you don't even want your luggage. Did something happen to you?"

I hesitated and didn't say it out loud, should I tell him that the entire Gudao Middle School is all ghosts?

Maybe he will regard me as a ghost too, and run away without me.

I thought for a long time before answering: "No...it's nothing, it's just that I don't quite adapt to life in the countryside. I'm too spoiled."

I randomly found a reason, trying to fool the past.

However, he stretched out his hand and moved the rearview mirror, looked at me from the mirror and said, "I see that your seal is black and the clouds are covering the top. Have you encountered any bad luck?"

My mood, which was gradually relaxing, became tense again in an instant when he said this.

"How...how could it be, you must have read it wrong."

I waved my hands hastily, the smile on my face was a bit blunt.

At this time, I found that the car was about to drive near the bus station in Coffin Town. From a distance, I saw a big peach tree in the open space opposite the bus station.

The trunk was bare, without a leaf, and the bright red blood dripped from it little by little.

The branch has a strange shape, crooked, like grinning at me.

Dozens of bats were sticking to the peach tree, with their bloody mouths wide open, greedily sucking the bright red liquid above.

I instantly felt a chill rushing towards my face. At this moment, I heard the driver's deep voice: "Didn't you ask me last time, why is there a peach tree here?"

"..."

The hairs all over my body stood up, and the feeling of fear spread to my whole body little by little.

Didn't he say he couldn't see a peach tree there?
"Let me tell you, this tree is a shortcut to the underworld!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed on the accelerator, and the car rushed towards the tree like an arrow leaving the string.

"You...you are not that driver, you are...you are a ghost!"
