She kept looking in the direction of the cave entrance, muttering, "They can't find me...they can't find me."
As long as she can get through the night, she can continue to look for Xie Chiyuan when the day breaks.
A sudden gust of wind blew up during the night.
The wind seeped in through the cracks in the cave entrance, making a whistling sound.
Ye Hui was abruptly awakened by the draft that had seeped in. She was freezing, but she had no warm clothes at all.
If we were to start a fire, it would be too conspicuous.
Ye Hui gritted her teeth and could only silently endure it. She suppressed the cold while harboring resentment towards Xie Chiyuan.
If Xie Chiyuan hadn't abandoned her, she would never have fallen into this predicament.
Darkness always amplifies a person's senses. Ye Hui was curled up when she suddenly caught a very faint crawling sound in her ears.
What is crawling on the rock?
"Swish swish——"
The crawling sound was still going on, but this time it was even louder.
Ye Hui's pupils suddenly contracted, and the next second, in the dim light around her, she could see what was crawling towards her.
It's a spider.
Countless spiders crawled toward her.
Black spiders of varying sizes made a rubbing sound as they crawled along the rocks.
Ye Hui wanted to scream, but it felt as if someone was silently choking her throat.
She couldn't scream.
As the spider relentlessly closed in, Ye Hui desperately tried to back away.
"Get out! Get out of here!!!"
Finally, as the first spider crawled onto her, her throat was released.
"Get out of here! All of you get out of here, you disgusting things!"
Ye Hui frantically chased away the spiders, tugging at her clothes, trying to drive them out from under them.
But there were too many spiders.
The feeling of being bitten by countless spiders is so desperate that it makes one want to end it all.
Opposite Ye Hui, a young man sat on a rock, quietly watching her.
The man was dressed in black clothes, all in black except for his white face.
His bangs were a bit long, slightly obscuring his eyes.
Ye Hui's desperate struggle did not stir any emotion in him.
His hands were wrapped in white silk, and he was weaving something with the white silk from time to time.
Judging from the technique, it looks like knitting a sweater.
He only stood up and slowly walked over when Ye Hui was about to stop breathing and could no longer struggle.
Do you still feel disgusted?
The man, dressed entirely in black, looked down at Ye Hui on the ground and put the unfinished knitting into his pocket.
"I...I was wrong."
Ye Hui stretched out her fingers and tried to grab his trouser leg: "I shouldn't have treated you like that, I was wrong, please let me go."
"I will never go to the dungeon again. I will do anything you ask if you can let me go."
I want you dead.
The man's lips curled slightly as he spoke. He exuded a gloomy aura, looking like a melancholic, handsome man.
Ye Hui no longer dared to admire his good looks; she was now filled with fear.
Those sent to the dungeon... were all assumed by them to be monsters that would never be released again.
When it comes to monsters, they naturally do whatever they want.
Perhaps influenced by a repressive environment, or perhaps they themselves harbored demons within them...
They did many cruel things to the monsters locked up in the prison.
After these monsters escaped, they did have a few vials of potions to deal with them.
But one was missing—the spider right in front of us.
This spider, according to some human terms, can be described as a yandere.
He could have found Ye Hui long ago, but he enjoyed making Ye Hui anxious and fearful.
After he had had enough of her ugliness, he felt the game was no longer fun.
Therefore, he wanted to end it all with her death.
When Xie Chiyuan realized something was wrong, he broke through the barrier and entered—
He only saw a skeleton.
The meat on the bones had been gnawed clean, and apart from the bones, there was no one else around.
Xie Chiyuan kept watch outside, and he was certain that he hadn't seen anything come in or any wild animals break in.
But right under his nose, Ye Hui was completely devoured.
Ye Hui's bones were still covered in blood-stained clothes.
Xie Chiyuan withdrew his gaze and walked out with a somber expression.
Behind him, a man dressed in black hid in the shadows, staring intently at him.
Half an hour later.
Yu An and the others returned to Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan recounted the events to Yu An: "Ye Hui is gone now, and I guess that monster doesn't want to show itself."
"An'an, let's look for the zombie king for the last day tomorrow, and then we'll go back to the base."
"good."
After Xie Chiyuan finished speaking, Yu An also explained his own situation: "The two men who were with me are also dead."
"They thought I was an ordinary person and wanted to harm me. When they encountered a zombie squad, they pushed me out."
"Later, those zombies bit them... I ignored them."
The two men and one woman had no good intentions, and their fate did not make Yu An feel sad.
"Go to sleep."
Just before going to sleep, Yu An suddenly thought of something else.
Before encountering the zombies in the dungeon, Yu An overheard a few words from the two men.
They said the things in this prison are connected to the East District.
Although Yu An heard it, he didn't really believe it.
Da Zai and Zhai Man are in the East District; they're busy with the East District's vaccines and have no chance of getting involved here.
Thinking of this, Yu An shook his head and went back to sleep.
The next day.
After Yu An woke up, he and Xie Chiyuan went to find the zombie king for another day, as planned.
They searched until evening, but still found nothing.
They decided to evacuate first.
Xie Chiyuan and Tan Zhan packed their things. Ba Zai and Jiu Zai were able to open their eyes, but they were still a little weak.
Eighth Child's situation is much better than Ninth Child's; at least he's already getting Chiu Chiu to take care of him.
"I want to drink water."
"Press my tentacle, I'm paralyzed by the poison."
I'm hungry.
Bazai, taking advantage of being a sick baby, kept making demands.
For some reason, Jiu Zai barely opened his eyes.
Looking at the different conditions of the two cubs, Yu An felt a little uneasy.
"Xie Chiyuan, is Ninth Child more seriously injured? He looks even weaker than Eighth Child."
Xie Chiyuan looked at Jiu Zai and figured out something about him.
"Nine is alright."
Xie Chiyuan lowered his voice and whispered in Yu An's ear, "He's just pretending to be weak."
Yu An: "?"
Yu An didn't understand: "Why is he pretending?"
Wouldn't it be a good thing to get well sooner?
Xie Chiyuan smiled and said in a low voice, "He's afraid of being embarrassed, so he continues to pretend to be sick so he doesn't have to deal with the other kids."
The fact that Jiu Zai poisoned himself will definitely become a source of gossip for the kids in the future.
Yu An: "..."
Okay.
He ignored the baby and led the group back.
On the way back, there was a small path. Originally, Qiuqiu could have talked more with the path, but ever since Bazai woke up, Qiuqiu has been so busy that she can't keep up with the path at all.
Time passed little by little.
