Now what should we do?

Watching the gap on the wall gradually disappear, Landy felt a sense of panic. They might get completely lost here, never able to return.

We should separate. That way, the surrounding walls might turn into that cardboard, and we can quickly pass through different areas via the cardboard.

Lin Ye wasn't sure about the rules of this abnormal incident either, but he could try to figure them out through experimentation.

Wait, even if we can quickly pass through different areas, wouldn't we just go further and further away? Shouldn't we be looking for a way back right now?

Landy voiced his strong resistance.

That's just one possibility. Maybe this is a circular space. Maybe passing through the cardboard leads to random different areas. We need to try to determine the rules here.

Lin Ye didn't know the specifics of this place right now either.

...But what if we go further and further away? We might never get back.

Thinking of his family at home, Landy now only wanted to find a way back to that damn highway as soon as possible.

Then let's first explore this area. If we can't find a way back, then we try quickly passing through these areas. Is that okay?

Lin Ye still couldn't determine the rules for that cardboard's appearance. If it only appears after two people separate, then he would need someone to cooperate with him.

...Alright.

Landy hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed to Lin Ye's suggestion.

Then let's go.

Lin Ye randomly chose a direction and walked forward along the tunnel, with Landy following behind him.

The two of them lowered their footsteps. Ten minutes later, they discovered an abandoned platform.

There wasn't a single person inside the platform, only some trash and damaged plastic chairs.

There's a staircase going up over there.

Landy didn't know if they should go up.

We can go up and take a look.

Lin Ye approached the staircase but found a large pile of debris stacked above it, looking like makeshift barricades. It seemed someone wanted to block the way up.

Should we still go up? Moving that debris will take some time, and there might be other barricades behind it.

Looking at the makeshift barricades at the top of the stairs, Landy felt somewhat uneasy.

No, I think we'd better leave here as soon as possible.

Lin Ye turned and walked towards the tunnel without hesitation. Just as he turned, he felt a vibration in the distance.

Run! There's a train coming!

Lin Ye accelerated into a run into the tunnel. The platform here was completely blocked, yet the train was still running. He didn't know what was inside the train, but it definitely wasn't anything normal.

Landy also realized the problem. Without wasting words, he quickened his pace and followed behind Lin Ye.

Not long after the two entered the tunnel, they heard the roar of a train behind them. Lin Ye stopped, pulling Landy to stand flat against the wall.

The train didn't stop at the station. Instead, it passed through the platform at full speed and roared past them.

The carriages were packed with all sorts of strangely shaped brown monsters. Those monsters swayed inside the carriages like bushes. As the train passed them, those monsters stopped swaying and turned part of their bodies towards their direction.

Split up! Give me the rifle. You go ahead and look for cardboard. I'll hold them off here!

Lin Ye vaguely saw those dark shadows leaping out from the carriages moving at high speed.

No, this is a problem I caused. You go find the cardboard. I'll hold them off here!

Landy looked towards those misshapen monsters in the distance. He raised his gun muzzle and pushed Lin Ye behind him.

Lin Ye didn't waste words. He directly turned and used his Special Ability, Sliding.

After activating the Special Ability, Lin Ye's body suddenly dropped to the ground, and his entire form began sliding uncontrollably forward, as if the friction between the ground and him had suddenly dropped to zero.

'Damn! What kind of weird skill is this?!'

Lin Ye found he couldn't stop at all, nor could he change direction by touching the ground.

Hitting the wall with his hand could change direction, but he needed to find cardboard by touching the wall, not crash himself onto the railway tracks.

However, Lin Ye quickly thought that he might be able to change his sliding direction by firing his gun.

Rapid gunfire sounded from behind. Landy was already preventing those monsters from getting closer.

Lin Ye soon slid past the platform and entered the tunnel on the other side of the platform. Not long after entering the tunnel, Lin Ye felt that kind of cardboard on the wall.

Bang!

Lin Ye fired a shot ahead. The recoil hindered the sliding momentum. Just as Lin Ye thought, this shot interrupted the Sliding skill.

The sliding soon stopped. Lin Ye got up from the ground, quickly ran to the cardboard, and kicked a hole in it with his foot.

The other side of the cardboard connected to a room. Without looking more, Lin Ye accelerated and ran back towards the platform.

The gunfire over there had already stopped.

Lin Ye ran to the vicinity of the platform at his fastest speed, but he was still too late. Those brown monsters were licking the bloodstains on the platform. Not a single piece of flesh remained on the ground, only the shattered remnants of the rifle.

Those monsters noticed Lin Ye. They surged towards him like flowing liquid, quickly closing the distance.

Lin Ye could only turn and use his Special Ability. Before being overwhelmed by those brown monsters, Lin Ye slid to near the cardboard first.

He grabbed the hole he had kicked out, terminating the Sliding skill, then crawled through the hole and entered another area.

Those brown monsters didn't chase through the hole. They soon disappeared from the vicinity of the hole.

...What a pity.

Lin Ye stood up and looked around. He was in a place resembling an office.

Some pages printed with text were scattered on the ground. Lin Ye picked up one page. It was printed with some seemingly convoluted sentences, apparently related to selling some kind of product.

Lin Ye threw away the page, quietly opened the office door. Outside was a corridor. There wasn't a single person inside the corridor.

...If one person can't find that kind of cardboard, won't I be trapped here? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Lin Ye entered the corridor holding his pistol. As he walked, he touched the walls of the corridor.

Both sides of the corridor had similar offices. Lin Ye soon approached the end of the corridor. There was a large door there. Through the glass window on the door, he could see shelves filled the other side. This seemed to be a corner of some large supermarket.

Lin Ye was just about to open the large door and go into the supermarket to find some usable tools when he saw a black eyeball growing on a shelf not far away.

That eyeball was moving on the shelf. When Lin Ye saw it, it also turned towards Lin Ye's direction.
