Chapter 86: Apologies
To be honest, using flatulence to overpower enemies, while not the most honorable approach, is indeed quite effective and yields immediate results. Even Chen Mu was almost caught off guard by it.
Of course, if it were against a familiar opponent who was prepared in advance, the effectiveness might be significantly reduced. One can't help but wonder how things will turn out when his abilities develop further.
Though this ability may sound unpleasant, its practicality is not to be underestimated. If it could also work on animals and insects, that would be impressive.
"Do you have any other companions?"
"No, we don't."
"How did you end up here?"
"... "
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Shanshan reluctantly said, "Actually, we knew about this place quite early on."
"Oh?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Has their cover been blown after all?
In these past few days, they hadn't really taken any defensive measures. Even the initial night watch they had set up was abandoned after getting rooms.
It's challenging to keep a group of high school students in a state of constant vigilance.
"Do you remember three people coming here before?" Lu Shanshan struggled for a while before revealing this information.
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, "Were they also your companions?"
"Yes, they were sophomores. On the second day of the disaster, over twenty of us gathered together. Things were still fine at that time; we found half a steamed bun in the corridor outside the classroom and moved to a corner, where we managed to scrape by with a few tree leaves."
"And then?"
"Initially, things were okay. Among us, several gained some pretty useful abilities. One of them could turn invisible, which made moving outside much more convenient. It was him who discovered your presence in this place..."
"Invisible?" Chen Mu couldn't help but inhale sharply; such a sinister ability truly made people uncomfortable.
"He's already dead," Lu Shanshan quickly added, seemingly sensing Chen Mu's unease.
"Tell me more about this invisibility ability." Chen Mu didn't let his guard down; who knew if she was lying or not.
Chen Mu furrowed his brows. According to Lu Shanshan's account, those three people seemed fine, but why did they immediately attack him without even saying a word?
He was about to inquire further when Lu Shanshan continued, "However, those three individuals have a fatal flaw in their abilities; they often experience mental confusion."
"Mental confusion?" Chen Mu was surprised.
"Yes," Lu Shanshan nodded. "Perhaps it's a side effect of sharing sensory perceptions. Sometimes, they completely lose their minds, forget who they are, and don't recognize their companions. After a while, they return to normal."
Chen Mu seemed to understand, "So, they killed their own companions during those periods of mental confusion?"
"More or less, but usually, even when they're mentally confused, they won't attack people. They'll just huddle together, expressionless, and walk around in circles like zombies. Though it's horrifying, after encountering it many times, we stopped worrying."
"But one time, we suddenly came under attack by a few strangers. They fought back desperately and managed to deal with the enemies, but soon after, they fell into confusion. This time, however, they turned against their own people. The invisible person, caught off guard, was stabbed in the abdomen. By the time they regained clarity, they had killed five of their companions...
"After they regained consciousness, they felt tremendous guilt and began taking even better care of the remaining survivors. However, finding food outside became increasingly difficult. While their abilities were useful against ordinary people, they were ineffective against creatures like rats and spiders. Several times, they barely escaped death.
"We discovered your group stationed here, but because we couldn't distinguish friends from foes, we didn't dare to approach. However, as the days became more challenging, those three thought of the idea of everyone coming together; they believed that strength comes in numbers. So, one morning, they decided to come and make contact. But since that day they left, they never returned...
"Lu Shanshan reached this point, summoning courage but trembling, she asked, "Those three individuals, what happened to them, after all..."
But as soon as she spoke those words, she recalled Chen Mu's previous warning and didn't dare to continue.
Hearing this, Chen Mu felt a mix of emotions and couldn't find the right words to say.
After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "They died."
After a moment of hesitation, he added, "I'm very sorry."
