endless horror

The Heart of Growth and... Messages?

When the crowd thickened at noon, Ye Wudao and his two companions emerged from the shade of the trees. Since Zhao Yingkong's coat was covered in bloodstains, Ye Wudao took off his own coat and draped it over her. He casually wrapped his arm around her other shoulder, making them look like an older brother carrying his younger sister.

Zhang Jie and Zhao Yingkong looked at him in surprise. Ye Wudao smiled faintly, "This looks more natural. And when we enter the hotel later, no matter what we talk about, it's best to show smiles. That way, we won't attract attention... Hehe, it's okay to hold you for a while, Yingkong."

Zhao Yingkong turned her head and said coldly, "It's fine."

When Zhao Yingkong had taken off her coat earlier, Ye Wudao and Zhang Jie had noticed a difference in her figure. This petite and beautiful young girl had unexpectedly large breasts. As soon as she removed her coat, the girl immediately caught the eyes of the two men. Moreover, her figure did not look out of place; on the contrary, it exuded a strange allure.

Although Zhao Yingkong didn't care about the gazes of the two men, when Ye Wudao took off his coat and put it on her, the girl's expression changed slightly. So when Ye Wudao put his arm around her to cover up, she did not show too much disgust.

"... Zhang Jie, Yingkong, I think I might have fallen into a misunderstanding. Perhaps it's due to arrogance, or perhaps it's because I was overshadowed by Chu Xuan's momentum after returning from reality, causing me to forget my original purpose... which is to survive."

"We're all here to survive."

Ye Wudao looked at the other two, who were somewhat puzzled, and said with a wry smile, "Zhang Jie, do you remember what I said to you during the last horror movie? I said I would try my best to protect my companions, trust and help them, and then use this strength to strive to survive... I've fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, what kind of people can become my companions?"

"For example, those ordinary people with soft hearts, who may drag us down at any time, or even betray us in critical moments, they are not qualified to be our companions. Yet, I included all these newcomers in the scope of companions, which is a fatal mistake..."

"I will continue to adhere to my philosophy that the power of companions is very important, and we should trust and support each other. I will never do what Chu Xuan did, which is to digitize companions! But I will change the parts I've done wrong. Only those who have the trust of all of us, have strength or talent, and have been tested can become our companions. As for those ordinary people..."

When Ye Wudao said this, he fell silent, and Zhang Jie and Zhao Yingkong both watched him quietly.

"As for those ordinary people... We can give them some help, such as weapons and warnings, but their life or death will not become an excuse to drag down the entire team. When necessary, I will abandon non-team ordinary people for the sake of team members. Chu Xuan is very right about this point, this world is a cruel world, and everyone is just trying to survive, and so are we..."

Before long, the taxi carrying the three of them had arrived outside the Sunshine Hotel. Fortunately, it was close to the tourist season, and the three blended into the crowd and easily walked up the safety stairs. They were too afraid of the blood smell on them to take the elevator, so in the end, they could only climb up more than ten floors until Ye Wudao opened the room door, and the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the room, Ling Dian, Zhan Lan, and Qi Teng were sitting together having breakfast. Apart from Qi Teng having a bandage wrapped around his head, the other two looked pretty good. At least there was no panic, especially when the three pushed the door open. Apart from the initial vigilance, Ling Dian and the others all laughed easily afterward.
