Chapter 41: Roadblock
I lay under the bed, looking at the door in horror, not daring to move.
The sensor light outside was not on. Although the door was open, I couldn't see clearly who was outside. I could only vaguely see a short dark shadow.
The black shadow looked around, its nose moving constantly, as if it was sniffing something.
Dadadada——
Then it walked in slowly.
Although the lounge was dark, I could vaguely see from the moonlight coming in from the window that the person walking towards me was wearing a pair of black linen shoes.
The feet are very small and the walking posture is very strange and stiff.
One foot took a step forward, and the other followed slowly, as if it was limping.
It walked around the lounge, hissing sounds from its nose, like a dog searching for prey.
Then it did something that terrified me .
It slowly squatted down, put its hands on the ground, and lay prone on the ground, and began to crawl towards me.
Finished!
It's about to be discovered!
I stared at it intently, cold sweat breaking out all over my body, my heart pounding in my bony chest, and my legs almost numb.
Buzz buzz buzz——
At this moment, the phone vibrated again, and it was still the same garbled text message .
This time the content is still very short, four words:
“Don’t breathe!”
I was shocked. Don’t breathe?
I didn't have time to think about it. That thing was already extremely close, less than half a meter away from me...
Through the moonlight, I finally saw what it looked like...
He was wearing a dark blue linen shirt, had white hair, an old, wrinkled face, and white eyeballs that bulged out like light bulbs. From his mouth, he kept making a "whoosh" sound of breathing like a wild beast.
It turned out to be Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother!
She crawled towards me and held out a hand to me...
I stared with my eyes wide open, my whole body trembling, my brain had lost the ability to direct my actions...
The dry, rotten hand froze in mid-air.
I held my breath.
Everything returns to silence...
She raised her head and roared into the air twice with some anger. Her voice was as hoarse as a crow, and she became exasperated as if she had suddenly lost her target.
She didn't leave immediately, but climbed around unwillingly, trying to find my way down.
The brain gradually lacks oxygen and a feeling of suffocation comes over me.
I pinched my nose, my face flushed red, and I kept telling myself in my heart: "Hold it in! You must hold it in!"
Finally, just when I could no longer hold on, she turned around and left the lounge at a very fast speed...
I let go and breathed deeply.
I wish I could breathe all the air into my lungs...
Is this Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother?
What on earth is she?
A psychopath? Or a monster?
It was unbelievable that an ordinary old lady almost broke open the big iron gate of Building D. It was even more unbelievable that when she was crawling on the ground, she was as agile as a cheetah.
I seem to understand why Cheng Xiaoyan is so afraid of her grandmother...
By the way, Cheng Xiaoyan!
When I thought of her, I felt inexplicably nervous.
She let me go, but... her main target was Cheng Xiaoyan!
"ah--"
A shrill scream broke the peaceful night that had finally settled down.
My body trembled and I stood up suddenly from the ground.
The sound came from the fourth floor!
It’s Cheng Xiaoyan!
That old lady really went to the fourth floor!
At this moment, it seemed as if I was not afraid of anything, and there was only endless worry in my heart.
Without any hesitation, with red eyes, I rushed out of the lounge and ran upstairs.
As I started to move upward, the screams became clearer!
I just can't imagine what her grandmother would do to her!
This is her granddaughter!
The stairs that I could usually run up quickly now seemed so long and narrow because of my anxiety...
I ran for my life, and just when I was about to reach the fourth floor, a dark shadow blocked my way.
I stopped suddenly and stared at the dark shadow in amazement.
Black clothes, dry hair, expressionless face, so familiar...
"Liu...Brother Liu?"
I said in a trembling voice.
That’s right, Liu Bin appeared!
He stared at me blankly without saying a word.
This was his second appearance after the morgue.
"Brother Liu, please move aside. I need to go save someone now!"
At this moment, I was no longer shocked. After all, saving people was the most important thing, so I said hurriedly.
Liu Bin said nothing and didn't move.
I didn't care about that anymore and continued walking up. When I passed by him, a hand suddenly grabbed me without any warning.
These hands were extremely cold, as if they had just been taken out of the freezer. I shuddered and said, "Liu... Brother Liu, what are you doing?"
"Don't go up there."
Liu Bin didn't look at me, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
Not a trace of emotion.
"Why?" I frowned, "Brother Liu, let go, I want to go up and save people now."
"Don't go up there."
Liu Bin was still repeating this sentence.
I tried to struggle free, but his grip was like an iron clamp and I couldn't get it free.
"Brother Liu, what on earth are you doing?" I finally lost my patience and yelled angrily, regardless of whether he was a human or a ghost.
Liu Bin finally twisted his neck, looked at me with dull eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you go up, you will die..."
I understood immediately.
He stopped me here because he was afraid that I would encounter Cheng Xiaoyan's grandmother and lose my life.
I felt touched for no reason.
No matter what this person is like now, whom I have only known for a few days, at least he has always treated me as a friend.
"Brother Liu, those two text messages were also sent to me by you, right?" I asked.
Liu Bin nodded woodenly.
"Please let me through. There is someone very important to me up there... I can't watch her get into trouble!" I said anxiously, "Just consider it as me begging you, Brother Liu, please let me through!"
Liu Bin's cheek twitched and his eyes slowly looked behind me.
"Zhiyong!"
A familiar voice sounded behind me.
I was stunned and looked back, only to find that it was Mr. He.
I don't know when Mr. He came over. He frowned and looked at me seriously. He said, "Zhiyong, who were you talking to just now?"
"I……"
I didn't know how to explain it, and when I turned around again, Liu Bin was gone.
"Zhiyong, what's wrong with you? I saw you just now, talking to the air..."
Mr. He came over and said with a strange look on his face.
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. I have to go save someone now. I'll tell you later!"
"Zhiyong, don't go up!"
Mr. He's face changed drastically, and he was about to hold me back, but I had already rushed to the fourth floor...
