Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 420 - 418: Purgatory on Earth (8)

Forcefully pushing the creature’s body away, Luo Yi breathed heavily, sweat drenching his face like a pillar of water.

He instinctively wanted to wipe it off, but when he saw the disgusting mucus flowing from the corpse’s brain, he immediately dismissed the idea.

"Strange! Why didn’t this creature attack me?"

Calming down, Luo Yi immediately recalled the peculiar actions of the creature just now.

Clearly, the creature had no intention of biting him, just sniffing him incessantly.

"Could it be because of my smell?"

Thinking of a possibility, Luo Yi lifted a corner of his shirt to sniff and immediately started to gag: "Damn, it really is... Ugh!"

The stench of decay was extremely pungent, unbearable for Luo Yi, whose only thought now was to take a bath, as that fall had covered him entirely with this "scent of Hell."

But the looming crisis quickly snapped Luo Yi out of his nauseated state, as rustling noises emerged again from outside the house. Luo Yi had no desire to revisit such a scene of "affection" from the creatures.

Feeling the stab of his ribs, Luo Yi crawled to the slightly open door, then stood up with the slightest movement, twisted the lock, carefully closed it tight, and finally heard a "click" as he secured the latch.

"Phew~" he exhaled deeply, as the door was now closed, the safety was temporarily secured, giving Luo Yi the chance to explore the office at last.

After all, this was Scar’s place; weapons, food, and other supplies for survival must be inside.

And Luo Yi’s current task was to find those supplies as quickly as possible, then call his companions to find a way out.

To avoid the creatures outside, Luo Yi moved very quietly, and it took him about 10 minutes to ransack the place.

Though the search took longer than expected, the results were quite pleasantly surprising.

A cleaver, two bats, as well as instant noodles, tea, biscuits, and other food supplies; Luo Yi even found some intimate items like Viagra in Scar’s cabinet.

It’s clear that he had been living quite comfortably these past few days.

Looking at the supplies covering the table, Luo Yi opened a bag of biscuits, took a few bites, and gulped down some water.

Once full, Luo Yi felt his lost energy slowly returning.

He twisted his slightly sore neck, then pulled over a blanket from the massage bed, cutting it into strips and tying them into a belt.

After finishing everything, he selected some supplies, made a bundle with the leftover fabric strips, and strapped it to his back, climbing onto the table.

He then threw the cleaver and supply bundle into the duct, tightened the strap across his chest, and leapt up.

As before, Luo Yi crawled through the pipe with great difficulty; carrying supplies and trailing the roll made his progress even harder this time.

Push! Crawl! Push! Crawl! Luo Yi counted the vents he passed, ensuring he knew how far it was until reaching the place where his comrades were held.

After struggling for about 7 or 8 minutes, he successfully made it to the destination.

"Xiao Luo is back!"

The two soldiers exhaled deeply, their tense expressions slightly relaxed.

They had been waiting here for some time, and if Luo Yi hadn’t returned, they planned to go look for him.

Sticking his head out, Luo Yi pointed at the cloth bundle in his hand and then threw it down with force.

The comrades, who were ready, immediately caught it and opened the bundle according to Luo Yi’s instructions.

"Eat!" he gestured as if pushing food into their mouths.

The two soldiers immediately understood, tearing open the biscuits and mineral water, sharing the food.

Although during their captivity, Dai Sha provided food and water every day to soothe Xu Renjie and his soldiers.

But if you saw the quality of that water and food, you’d surely associate it with pig feed.

Within a minute, or perhaps more, the swift soldiers quickly consumed all the supplies in the bundle.

After seeing the soldiers finish eating, Luo Yi didn’t delay, immediately tossing down the fabric strips on his body, then tying one end of the strip to himself.

This move was already quite obvious; comrades who had shared years of bond in the camp didn’t need Luo Yi’s explanation and started to climb up right away.

Luo Yi bent his arm to hold the increasingly taut strip; he could clearly feel the force coming from the other end. To alleviate the strain on his waist and abdomen, he had to counteract the downward pull with his hands.

Fortunately, his comrades were skilled enough. During the swaying, he quickly climbed into the pipe.

Once one of them made it inside, Luo Yi immediately let go of his strip, and as if by tacit agreement, the soldier in front quickly pulled the strip over to tie himself up, and Luo Yi swiftly retreated.

Repeating this way, the second soldier also climbed up successfully.

Then, like worm-like creatures breaking from eggs, the three of them started wriggling forward in the narrow duct.

As usual, Luo Yi was the first to get down to the ground; having learned from last time, he was extra cautious this time, reminding the remaining two companions to watch out for the bloodstains on the floor.

"Damn! What happened here! Brother, it wasn’t easy for you!" a comrade exclaimed, a hint of horror in his eyes as he patted Luo Yi’s shoulder after seeing the corpses.

Luo Yi gave a wry smile, then briefly recounted to the two of them what had happened just now.

When they heard the words "zombie siege," both soldiers couldn’t help but show a grave expression.

"If what you think is true, getting out... Sigh, it won’t be easy!"

Sighing softly, a comrade subtly expressed his view. In fact, in his mind, given the current situation, leaving the sports stadium alive, let alone escaping, was questionable.

The conversation stalled at this point, but during the lull in thought, Luo Yi took out the supplies he hadn’t brought earlier and started soaking the noodles with some clean water.

After all, no matter what came next, filling their stomachs was key, and besides, he already had an idea.

It’s just that if he voiced this idea, the two companions surely wouldn’t have the heart to eat.

Thus, after weighing it for a long time, he decided to let them fill their stomachs first and then tell them later.

The three of them, around a bowl of instant noodles soaked in cold water, each with their own thoughts, slowly slurped.

After finishing, Luo Yi felt the time was ripe, solemnly called over his two comrades, and in a particularly serious tone, quietly said, "About how to get out? I already have a plan!!"
