Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Chapter 254 Apocalypse 19

Mu Lingxi took out the three videos and compared them one by one, discovering a striking similarity.

These humanoid creatures seem to lose their minds and become beasts when they encounter blood.

Of the three, Huang Lili's condition was the least severe, which seems to be related to the number of times she had eaten people.

Mu Lingxi looked around at the living quarters on both sides and found that they were in the same situation as the villa on the mountaintop. The two of them also started buying live livestock and then eating their flesh raw.

That old lady must be quite something, she can still control herself. Should we inform my adoptive father?

Mu Lingxi shook her head again, feeling it was unnecessary.

Who is that?

An immortal king.

Could such a monster possibly exploit a loophole?

It wasn't until midnight that Mu Lingxi put down her pen and paper and stretched.

Despite the long period of time, there have been some gains. Based on her excellent reading comprehension skills, Mu Lingxi summarized a few points.

First, people who have eaten flesh and blood will lose their minds once they come into contact with flesh and blood.

Second, people who have eaten flesh and blood will become thinner and thinner, as if they have contracted some serious illness.

Third, people who fall into the abyss will target those closest to them or those they care about most.

Well, I know too little, so I can only summarize these three points.

After reading more, perhaps I can add to this doomsday notebook.

I glanced at the time; it was 8:20 PM, and the sky outside was completely dark. The early autumn evening was still a bit hot. It was still early, so I'd eaten dinner while reviewing some documents.

The room was empty, and she was all alone; there wasn't even a single person to talk to. On such a night, the surrounding air seemed thin, and an unknown substance assailed Mu Lingxi, making her restless and agitated.

Play a game for a while? Picking up the phone and putting it down again is boring.

Listening to music? Watching videos?

Frustrated, Mu Lingxi picked at the sheets and finally opened the window to go out for a walk.

The modern city, ablaze with neon lights, is unusually tranquil. The once bustling roads are now nearly deserted, with only the traffic lights at intersections standing alone.

Mu Lingxi walked quietly by the roadside, a gentle evening breeze blowing, the only sound being the rustling of her shoes on the ground. And then there were the pitying glances that seemed to look at a madwoman as they whizzed by.

The spirit ignored it.

The rare moment of relaxation allowed Mu Lingxi to unwind. She didn't know how long she had walked or where she was. She felt very relaxed and content.

"Little Tiger! Quick! Rescue!"

"Block the entrance with a musket."

A cacophony of sounds drifted over, likely from a state-sponsored night patrol.

Mu Lingxi turned and entered a dark alley, walking slowly toward the source of the sound.

They've probably encountered danger. Whether or not to help is another matter, but it's still worthwhile to go check on them.

The alley was dimly lit, with no streetlights.

The moment Mu Lingxi stepped inside, a series of eerie lights suddenly illuminated the room. Such a scene would terrify the faint of heart, causing even the bravest to break out in a cold sweat and flee.

For Mulingqi, solving these problems is a piece of cake.

Stepping out of the darkness, the scene ahead is immediately visible.

A group of seven, fully armed, are fighting a horde of mutated rats.

While evolved rats still follow animal instincts, they have become far more ferocious and savage. They pounce on humans without hesitation, and even those that are wounded and attempt to escape remain hidden nearby, watching intently. They look at humans as if they were prey. Rat carcasses are rarely seen on the ground; at the moment of death, they have been devoured by their own kind.

Captain Jia grabbed Hu Zi's leg with one hand and waved the knife wildly with the other, trying to rescue his team member.

A rat the size of a ragdoll cat seized the opportunity to climb onto his back. It bit his neck, and blood immediately stained his clothes, causing the surrounding rats to become even more rampant.

Captain Jia paused slightly while holding the man's hand, enduring the pain, and retreated even faster. The others took the opportunity to kill the rats on the man's body and the man's beard.

One team member sprayed a ring of kerosene, temporarily blocking the rats' attack.

"Captain, I'm sorry." Beard's face had been gnawed beyond recognition, and seeing the blood on the captain's neck, he felt extremely guilty.

If he hadn't been so reckless, the captain wouldn't have gotten injured.

Captain Jia sprayed the hemostatic medicine haphazardly on his own neck, then pressed the man down and sprayed it vigorously on his face, neck, and wrists five or six times until the bleeding stopped.

The man was already so badly injured that it was impossible to say anything more blaming him. After all, they had worked together for several years. Captain Jia simply sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Two people were surrounded and given basic first aid to stop the bleeding, while the others quickly finished up and prepared to leave.

Given the current situation, it's impossible to carry out the mission.

The car was parked in front of the large shopping mall, about 500 meters away.

Rats have an exceptionally keen sense of sound, and as soon as the Wood Spirit appeared, a bunch of rats crowded around it.

The grayish-brown rat made Mu Lingqi's hair stand on end.

Dead memories suddenly resurfaced.

While she was traveling in the previous world, a large rat boldly climbed onto her bed in the middle of the night and rudely stepped over her head.

She had never seen such a big rat in her entire life.

I almost screamed and turned on the light. Looking at the seemingly clean room, and imagining that the mouse probably crawled all over the bed, the floor, and my slippers—its tracks were everywhere—Mu Lingqi wished she could just disappear. She took several showers, scrubbing her skin until it was red. She didn't sleep a wink that night, and the next day she was still nauseous and dry heaving, almost unable to eat.

It's better not to think about it, because the nausea comes back as soon as you do. It's as if the feeling of rats crawling over your head is still there. Mu Lingxi squatted by the roadside and vomited.

Unable to see him, the rats were about to go back. But hearing the sound of Wood Spirit vomiting, they gathered around again.

Strange, even though there was no food, I could still hear sounds and smell sweet aromas.

Where is the food? Where is it?

A group of mice jumped around frantically, but couldn't find any food.

It smells so good...

Well, if we have to settle for second best, those humans are pretty good too.

A group of mice came in a great hurry, but returned empty-handed.

They had only run halfway when justice struck. A bolt of lightning turned the group of mice to ashes, and a gust of night wind swept them away, leaving nothing behind.

The Wood Spirits are utterly disgusting; for my own sake, these rats cannot be allowed to stay.

Captain Jia and his team had just been facing a life-or-death situation when suddenly a flash of white light appeared before their eyes, followed by a crackling sound, and they could see nothing at all.

Oops!

In the brief moment when darkness fell before their eyes, the group realized something was wrong and quickly retreated, bumping into each other back to back.

Even after his vision returned, the scene of being ambushed that he had imagined never occurred.

I opened my eyes to skyscrapers. On the road under the streetlights, there was nothing but bloodstains from the previous battle.

The life-or-death struggle we experienced before was just an illusion.

“Captain…” In the deathly silence, Bai Shuo’s voice trembled.

"This is unbelievable! Retreat!"

Tonight is destined to be an unsolved mystery.
