Chapter 42 Let's Go Together

Li Mei reached out her fingers in disbelief, trembling, and gently stroked her husband's cold cheek.

The faint tremor transmitted to her fingertips struck her like a bolt of lightning—that was not a post-mortem muscle spasm!

It was a kind of life sign, the most terrifying and hair-raising one known to humanity today!

He is mutating!

Li Mei jerked her hand back, her heart pounding wildly!

It was not fear!

It was excitement!

She held her breath, staring fixedly at her husband's face...

The initial mutation was silent, and also the most terrifying...

Her husband's ashen skin rapidly turned into an unhealthy, eerie shade of grey...

The skin began to become visibly slimy, as if it were sweating.

Violent, uncontrollable convulsions began!

The few women huddled in the corner were about to open their mouths to scream in panic, but Li Mei quickly picked up the dagger on the floor that had killed her husband!

She stabbed it precisely into the woman's heart.

"You don't fight back... that's fine! But don't get in the way of my revenge!"

Li Mei pulled out the knife, making a motion to stab the others.

But their expressions did not change at all. Even when they looked at her husband's constantly convulsing body, the look in their eyes was actually the same anticipation as her own...

Li Mei was very satisfied...

"Hrr... hrr... hrr"

From behind her, a sudden, inhuman roar, mixed with extreme pain and the most furious emotions, erupted!

Li Mei spun around.

Her husband had already opened his eyes...

But they were no longer human eyes.

The purple pupils were filled with indescribable pain and rage...

But soon, some kind of extreme emotion from the moment of death began to emerge. The monstrous rage, accompanied by an inhuman roar, even briefly allowed a glimmer of struggling human consciousness, like a candle in the wind, to appear in his gaze!

That look seemed to silently beg Li Mei; he was resisting this body that was undergoing alienation!

"Da Yong!?" Li Mei called out her husband's name in a trembling, tentative voice.

Her husband's eyes suddenly flickered!

A drop of murky liquid slid from the corner of his eye... it was impossible to tell if it was slime or tears of despair...

The excitement of impending revenge, accompanied by the determination to live and die with her lover, overwhelmed all the fear in Li Mei's heart!

Li Mei lunged forward, not to flee...

But to extend her arm, offering it to her husband's mouth, which was covered in slime and filled with sharp teeth, constantly opening and closing!

"Bite me! Da Yong! Bite me!" she cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Make me like you! Let's go together! Let's go find them and get our revenge!"

However, the body that was deepening its mutation suddenly recoiled, letting out an even more painful and resistant roar!

The remaining reason allowed him to clearly perceive the deep-seated love and protective desire for his wife within his heart...

He had already hurt his wife once because of his own weakness!

This time!

He must protect his wife well!

This thought actually allowed him to temporarily suppress the instinct that was raging wildly in his mind! He resisted hurting the woman before him!

Li Mei's tears burst forth like a broken dam...

She understood the meaning in her husband's gaze...

"Fine..."

"If you won't bite..."

"Then we..."

"Will go together!"

Li Mei smiled sadly, her eyes flashing with a light intertwined with madness and love. She did not hesitate; with all her strength, she tightly hugged that cold, slimy, and violently convulsing body!

Regardless of the slime covering her body, she lowered her head and deeply kissed her husband's lips, which had become somewhat strange and were emitting a fishy stench...

The cold slime, through the exchange of bodily fluids via their mouths, caused a strange new sensation to continuously divide and proliferate within Li Mei's body!

She could feel her body continuously strengthening, but she could also feel the biological instincts growing geometrically as her body was strengthened!

Feeding!

Breeding!

A strong sense of dizziness struck instantly, and Li Mei felt as if her blood had been frozen in that moment!

But in the next moment, it began to boil!

Two souls, persecuted in the darkness yet connected by love, at this moment, relying on the obsession with revenge and the determination not to live alone, began to transform together into a non-human form!

"Roar...!"

The group of people who were moving furniture and debris to block the Fire escape shivered violently.

Just now...

Was that a mermaid calling?

"Xiao... Brother Xiao!? Did... did you hear that?" a henchman asked, trembling as he tugged on Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao did not answer; he looked toward the floor above and swallowed his saliva.

It wasn't just that he heard it; he had heard it clearly...

It was the commotion in the hallway upstairs...

This building actually had one extra floor; it looked like 32 floors, but it was actually 33, because the 15th floor was a refuge floor and no one lived there...

Everyone looked at the Fire escape they had blocked off, their faces filled with bitterness.

But no one dared to go up to the 16th Floor to check the situation...

"What should we do!"

"Brother Zhuo? What do you say?"

"Brother Zhuo, say something!"

Zhuo You had also heard it clearly. He knew that someone had died upstairs yesterday; after all, he was the one who had personally killed him.

But no one had ever told Zhuo You that people would mutate after dying!

"Damn it! Move this junk away! We're running downstairs!"

Zhuo You stamped his foot, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

"Absolutely not!" Zhang Xiao hurriedly stopped the group, then looked at Zhuo You.

"Big Brother! Have you forgotten? That kid downstairs has likely already realized you have designs on him. Isn't going down there now just asking for death?"

Zhuo You was so angry he almost laughed; how were there so many idiots in his team?

"The person downstairs is human. Although he has a gun, we can reason with him! If reasoning doesn't work, we can admit defeat!"

He paused, pointed to the 16th Floor, and said: "You can go upstairs now and reason with that mermaid; see if it will listen... If you can persuade it, I'll be your henchman from now on!"

"Roar...!"

"Roar...!"

Two mermaid roars, which could clearly be distinguished as male and female, rang out...

"Now you have to persuade two of them..." Zhuo You said, seriously holding up two fingers.

"I'll move it!" Zhang Xiao said succinctly, taking the lead to move the furniture and debris jammed in the stairwell back...

"Quick! Quick! Block the rear first! Don't let them come down!"

While commanding, Zhuo You hoisted a heavy bed board and climbed toward the upper floor.

"Boom!!!"

A loud noise erupted from the 16th Floor! For a moment, it felt as if the entire stairwell was resonating!

"What the f*ck! What kind of noise is that?" Zhang Xiao poked his head up in panic to look at the top of the stairwell.

"Roar...!"

A distorted, hoarse, inhuman roar filled with monstrous hatred rang out. As if in response, another equally terrifying but more feminine roar sounded almost simultaneously.

These two roars, like the funeral bells of hell, clearly exploded in everyone's ears...

"Move it, dammit! Run downstairs!"

Zhuo You was the closest, and he saw it the most clearly...

The moment he saw those two figures, his pupils constricted violently!

It's over!

The woman he regarded as a "plaything" and the "man" who provided entertainment had both turned into monsters!

And they had come looking for him...

The moment those two figures saw Zhuo You, the monstrous hatred in their eyes instantly made Zhuo You's crotch feel cold!
