Salted Fish Zombie

Chapter 44

The night in the Fairy Tale Town was composed of three colors.

The moonlight was a desolate white; the darkness was thick black, and the mist surrounding the monster children was a deep gray.

The dense mist slowly approached the castle, and a chilling and tender voice of children could be heard intermittently from within the mist.

As they got closer to the castle, white, deformed children started to emerge.

Some of them appeared to be intact and normal, while others had various incomplete and deformed features.

They were entirely white, with a greasy yellowish liquid covering their bodies, and their sparse hair, lacking melanin, was clumped together.

They sang songs, sometimes softly, sometimes heavily, and expressionlessly appeared one by one, increasing in numbers, converging on the castle from all directions.

Zhu Shuangshuang stood on the balcony of room 404.

The balconies of rooms 401, 403, 405, and 407 faced the garden, while the balconies of the rooms opposite faced the back of the castle.

She stood there, watching the monster children slowly approaching behind the castle.

Ji Mingrui stood on the balcony of the opposite room 403.

The doors of the two rooms were wide open, allowing them to communicate at any time.

"Boss Ji, be prepared," Zhu Shuangshuang's voice came from room 404, forcefully suppressing the trembling inside with a calm and loud tone.

"Roger," Ji Mingrui said, then he shouted loudly to Meng Jiang at the garden gate, "Meng Jiang! Be prepared!"

Meng Jiang: "Ready! Standing by!"

Players on the fifth and sixth floors were all watching them.

"What are they preparing to do as the monster children are about to arrive?"

"They are probably preparing to ignite the fuse at the best possible moment."

Their guess was correct.

Zhu Shuangshuang watched the first group of monster children appearing at the designated location and said to Ji Mingrui, "Ignite it!"

Ji Mingrui immediately shouted to Meng Jiang, "Ignite!"

Meng Jiang, who had already prepared, immediately lit the vine on both sides of the iron gate and then flew back to the castle.

The flames burned along the vines on both sides, gradually surrounding the castle.

Zhu Shuangshuang stood on the 404 balcony and saw the flames on both sides converging as the monster children approached, feeling relieved.

They had conducted several burning tests during the day.

Ji Mingrui experimented several times, recording the speed and duration of the flames burning on the vines.

He also measured the perimeter of the castle using a proportional method, calculating the distance and ignition time for the approaching monster children.

Meng Jiang ran up and asked to room 404, "How is it? Did it hold up?"

Zhu Shuangshuang nodded and loudly said to the boys in three different positions, "It held up! No problems."

Meng Jiang let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and ran to the arched window to look outside.

Tonight, there were no dense vines on the arched window, not even a wind-blocking glass, leaving the monster children beneath the castle completely unimpeded.
