75: fear!

“Damn it, what kind of monsters are these?”

“Why can’t they be killed? They took bullets and didn’t die.”

At this moment, heavy panting mixed with thudding footsteps echoed continuously in the silent corridor. Rain and J.D., who were originally looking for Li An, were now following Alice and Kaplan, scrambling to hide.

Just now, they had encountered a wave of zombies. Faced with these unconscious, attack-only living dead, everyone was utterly terrified. They had no idea how to thoroughly kill these zombies; bullets seemed to have no effect on them.

Moreover, during the sustained confrontation, they had used up most of their bullets and could no longer afford to waste them casually.

“Keep up, we have to escape first.”

Alice was now leading the team. She had recovered most of her memories, and her past combat memories had resurfaced. In the current team, Alice’s strength was undoubtedly top-tier.

“So many zombies, where did that man go?”

At this moment, as Alice continued to lead the team forward, another person's figure suddenly appeared in her mind—an Asian man.

Alice had, of course, remembered Li An by now, but based on his behavior after she lost her memory, she couldn't guess what he was trying to do, or where he was now.

Thump-thump-thump!

As Alice was thinking, she suddenly heard crisp footsteps coming from the end of the corridor ahead. This immediately caused a wave of tension among the team, and they instinctively tightened their grip on their firearms.

“Hello there.”

The next second, as Alice and the others were on edge and extremely nervous, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the darkness. Immediately after, Li An’s figure emerged from the shadows.

“It’s you!”

“How is that possible!”

“How are you not dead yet!”

“It’s actually this Asian.”

Seeing the owner of the footsteps appear, the disheveled group collectively breathed a sigh of relief. They had been terrified it was a zombie that had found them.

Of course!

Li An’s appearance also put them on alert. An Asian, without firearms or weapons, was walking so leisurely within this dangerous Hive. Had he not encountered those dead people yet?

At this time, the group still didn't know what to call the attacking zombies, only referring to them as 'dead people,' as they had previously seen the employees die, but now they had suddenly come back to life.

“Why are you here?”

Seeing that Li An had no intention of answering, Alice spoke. She pointed the barrel of her pistol directly at Li An, asking with a wary expression.

She hadn't forgotten their confrontation in the mansion earlier. Although Alice didn't know who Li An was, she knew that this Asian was definitely not on her side.

Facing Alice’s gun, Li An showed no sign of tension, merely smiling slightly. He simply raised his hand and pointed at Kaplan, who was standing in the crowd, and said,

“I need him to come with me.”

Although Li An’s tone was calm, anyone could hear the assertiveness in his words. This immediately made everyone realize that this Asian’s attitude seemed very firm.

“Me?”

“What do you want me for?”

Kaplan never expected Li An to come for him again. He had been startled by Li An’s terrifying strength before, so why was this monster coming for him again now?

“You want to take Kaplan?”

“Impossible, are you trying to die?!”

Hearing that Li An actually wanted to take Kaplan, Rain and J.D., who were standing nearby, immediately became displeased. They had not witnessed Li An’s terrifying power, yet they dared to threaten him.

“Oh my god.”

“No, don’t say anything.”

Seeing his two teammates speak up for him, Kaplan was not pleased but rather alarmed. His face changed drastically, and he hastily told them to shut up.

“Don’t worry, Kaplan, with us here, this Asian won’t be able to take you.”

“Besides, this Asian seems to have forgotten who’s in charge here.”

Rain looked at Kaplan’s actions, shook her head slightly, then turned her gaze to Li An, simultaneously aiming her submachine gun at him. The meaning she wanted to convey was immediately quite clear.

“You want to make a move?”

Seeing Rain’s demeanor, Li An couldn’t help but find it amusing, but she was blocking him, so Li An naturally wasn't going to be pleasant to her.

Li An’s eyes narrowed instantly, and in a flash, a dangerous aura surged from him, spreading wildly in all directions.

“This…”

As Li An’s aura was released, everyone immediately felt his powerful presence. This sudden surge of dangerous energy made everyone’s breathing tighten, feeling as if even the space around them had become oppressive.

This sudden change immediately caused a wave of panic among everyone, and they all looked at Li An with fearful expressions.

Only then did everyone realize a problem: they seemed to have never taken Li An, this Asian, seriously. As Caucasians, their inherent arrogance was immense, and they simply looked down on everyone else.

However, at this moment, they were shocked by the Asian they most looked down upon. Seeing Li An, who was exuding a dangerous aura, for a moment, everyone on the scene dared not make the slightest move.

Even Rain stood frozen in place, speechless.

But even so, Li An had no intention of letting it go. These people, armed with long guns, would casually bully the weak, but when they faced a fierce tiger, they quickly showed weakness.

Where in the world could such a good thing exist?

Moreover, he was not a pushover to be easily humiliated.

“Oh, right, I just got a new pet. I’ll show it to you.”

Looking at the silent crowd, Li An revealed a meaningful smile. Then, ignoring their astonished gazes, he clapped his hands behind him.

Drip!

Drip!

The next second, a crisp sound rang out. To everyone’s bewildered expressions, the Magic Spirit Dog, with saliva constantly dripping from its mouth, slowly emerged from the darkness, shaking its head, and finally stood before them.

“This…”

“What kind of monster is this!!!”

“This monster, why does it feel similar to those dead people?”

The moment the Magic Spirit Dog appeared, everyone was so startled by its appearance that they retreated several steps, their faces filled with terror.

After the initial fright, they realized that this monster seemed somewhat different from the ones they had seen. This monster actually hadn't attacked them proactively.

“Is this your pet?”

Rain looked at Li An with a pale face. Just moments ago, she had been threatening Li An, but now she was startled by his pet.

At this moment, with the Magic Spirit Dog’s entrance, the scene became even more silent, with only the Magic Spirit Dog, its blood-red eyes wide open, continuously surveying everyone.

It could be said that, apart from Li An, almost no one present could subdue this Magic Spirit Dog. Even Alice still couldn't, unless she were to directly become infected with the t-virus and gain superpowers at this very moment.
