Real gun!?

Li Cheng颐 and Meng Dongdong both felt a chill in their hearts. They never imagined they'd encounter someone with a gun in their daily lives.

Gun control was very strict in Yi Country. To possess a gun, one had to be a certified professional, a special occupation such as a police officer, high-level bodyguard, or soldier.

The fact that this man could bring a gun in showed his background and profession were likely extraordinary.

"Where's the monster?" The man looked at Li Cheng颐. "You were the one who mentioned a monster just now?"

"..." Li Cheng颐 didn't speak. He clearly saw that the man's attitude toward him was off.

The man narrowed his eyes, his expression stern, and his gaze carried a strange meaning.

"Answer me. Was it you who said that?" The man stepped forward. "Where's the monster? Can you provide evidence?"

Li Cheng颐 was speechless. All traces had automatically disappeared.

Where was he supposed to find any traces?

*Shua.*

The man suddenly lowered his gun, aiming it at Li Cheng颐.

*Bang.*

A gunshot rang out.

Li Cheng颐 trembled, a shallow pit appearing on the ground near his feet.

"Now, you should leave." The man stared at him coldly.

"..." Li Cheng颐's face was extremely pale, feeling his heart pounding wildly. Just now, for a moment, he thought he was really going to be shot.

But luckily, the man didn't really want to kill him.

"I don't know why you're treating me this way, but I've already said what I needed to say. These small doors are very dangerous, you better..."

"Leave!" Li Cheng颐 was interrupted by the man's raised voice before he could finish speaking.

"That lady, you should stay away from him. I strongly suspect this person may have mental problems." The man, while aiming at Li Cheng颐, nodded at Meng Dongdong, the look in his eyes becoming even more intense.

Without a word, Meng Dongdong quickly walked behind the man. This strong man was clearly more reliable than Li Cheng颐.

It wasn't just the man's calm and collected demeanor, but also the handgun that could actually fire bullets.

Noticing Meng Dongdong's decisive action, Li Cheng颐's entire attention was focused on the gun aimed at him.

He didn't know why the man was treating him this way, but the best course of action at this time was to leave first.

After a pause, he slowly backed away, then reached out to pick up his food bag.

"Put it down!"

The man suddenly spoke.

"This is my stuff," Li Cheng颐 argued.

"I told you to put it down!" The man spoke again, his finger on the trigger, already beginning to exert force.

Li Cheng颐's face tightened. He put the bag back down, raised his hands, and slowly retreated.

After retreating nearly twenty meters, instead of feeling relaxed, he felt even more tense.

If things were as he suspected, then...

Li Cheng颐 stared intently at the handgun the man was aiming at him.

At this moment, his life was completely in the hands of the other party. This absolute sense of powerlessness, the utter fear, made the hairs on his body stand on end, his body becoming faintly stiff.

Fortunately, the other party didn't intend to kill him directly, but only forced him to retreat, until he reached the corner, before slowly lowering the gun.

Li Cheng颐 retreated to the slope, until he could no longer see the man and Meng Dongdong, before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The stiffness in his body gradually eased.

When he was retreating just now, he had wanted to roll to the side several times to avoid the gun.

But he resisted the urge.

He hadn't practiced how to dodge gunfire, nor had he practiced how to roll. Under these circumstances, his unprofessional rolling would likely not only fail to evade the bullets, but also provoke the other party, leading to even more troublesome consequences.

Moreover, judging from the man's behavior, he should have come prepared. Unlike Meng Dongdong, this third person definitely knew about the trouble with the blind spot.

So... he stole my food...

Li Cheng颐 leaned against the wall, letting the cold touch try to cool the emotions in his heart.

In this absolutely enclosed space, without the threat of monsters, food was undoubtedly very important.

But now, that guy stole the things he prepared...

In that bag, he not only had food, but also a simple first-aid kit.

At critical moments, these were life-saving treasures.

But now, they were all taken away by that man.

'If I still had the Hua Lin Yi...' The thought flashed through Li Cheng颐's mind, but it was fleeting. (Hua Lin Yi - Flower Scale Armor)

How strong was the Hua Lin Yi after all, could it withstand bullets?

He didn't know.

He only knew that wearing the Hua Lin Yi would greatly improve his overall physical fitness.

Coupled with the Hua Yu ability, facing firearms would definitely be much better than now! (Hua Yu - Flower Language)

'After getting out, I must thoroughly explore the various abilities of the Evil Flower! This time was too rushed!'

Li Cheng颐's eyes were filled with gloom, and he made a firm decision in his heart.

He never wanted, absolutely never wanted, to be threatened at gunpoint again.

Such a thing must never happen a second time!

He exhaled and, not daring to stay on this floor any longer, immediately turned and walked towards the upper floor.

Without food to replenish his strength, he had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he hadn't put all his eggs in one basket. The crucial cassette player and headphones were still with him.

This was the entire set of song cassettes that he had been playing on loop when the blind spot omen occurred when he first came to this world.

The cassette, the cassette player, and the headphones were all in the zippered pocket of his coat lining.

He planned to find a place to try to recreate the scene of the first omen and see if he could find a way out.

Raising his foot, he walked up the slope of the curve, but hadn't taken three steps when—

*Ka.*

Suddenly, a subtle sound floated from behind.

The sound was very clear. In this enclosed, open environment, Li Cheng颐 could clearly distinguish that it was the sound of the handle of the maintenance room door turning!

His hair stood on end, his body suddenly tensed, and he was about to run.

Now that he didn't have the Hua Lin Yi, he was no match for that monster with the human face.

But just as he was about to run away, the strength in the muscles of his calves suddenly relaxed.

'If they are being chased by the monster, then perhaps I can...'

The thought flashed through Li Cheng颐's mind.

With the effect of the Drunken Hands, he might be able to try to take back his stolen belongings, and with someone else holding back the monster, the Hua Yu ability would be much safer to use.

Stopping, he tiptoed, turned around, quietly walked to the corner of the wall, poked out half an eye, and aimed at Meng Dongdong and the man with the gun.

The corner was more than a hundred meters away from the two, so he could only see very little. He could only vaguely see that both of them were facing the small door of the maintenance room, seemingly saying something.

Li Cheng颐 thought for a moment, quickly took out his phone, turned on the camera function, and then zoomed in.

Suddenly, the distant scene was clearly presented on his phone.

Compared to peeking with his eyes, the phone camera was much safer.

On the phone screen, he zoomed in with both hands, and then clicked on the focus function, and the picture became much clearer.

In the screen, the man with the gun was vigilantly staring at the maintenance room, his gun raised, aiming at the door.

Meng Dongdong stood aside, looking a little strange, as if she was puzzled.

She had obviously just opened the small door and found nothing inside, but now there was a sudden movement, which made her become alert.

Li Cheng颐 tapped the screen with his finger, focusing on the doorknob.

On the red maintenance room door, the white doorknob was slowly turning down.

At this moment, Meng Dongdong spoke to the man with the gun.

The man's lips moved, and he replied with a few words, but he still aimed at the small door of the maintenance room, his expression cold.

It seemed he was very confident in the gun in his hand.

Li Cheng颐 wanted to run away at this point, but he still insisted on staying where he was. He also wanted to see what kind of damage firearms could do to that human-faced monster.

*Kacha.*

The small door finally opened.

It opened a crack.

Under the increasingly horrified expressions of Meng Dongdong and the man with the gun, a black and white human head, more than two meters high and more than one meter wide, slowly floated out of the crack in the door.

Ah!!!

Meng Dongdong's scream exploded, followed by the man's terrified curses, and a series of gunshots.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The consecutive shots all accurately hit the huge human face. With such a large target, even if the man's hands were shaking violently, he could hit it even if he shot randomly.

But the bullets only pierced a few holes in the center of the human face, and the holes quickly healed and disappeared.

The black and white human face drifted toward the two people, its speed even faster than the previous time with Li Cheng颐.

Li Cheng颐 also reacted at this time. He put away his phone, turned around, and ran wildly toward the upper floor.

He had originally planned to secretly retrieve his belongings, but seeing the increased speed of the human face, he knew that he would not have a chance.

So, he decisively put away his phone and ran.

*Huchi.*

*Huchi.*

*Huchi.*

Li Cheng颐 panted heavily, running all the way to the upper floor, without stopping, and continuing to sprint upward.

After going up another floor, he began to feel dizzy, with a large number of white spots appearing in his eyes, and a feeling of fatigue and sleepiness in his head. At the same time, his chest was breathing hard, but he always felt short of breath.

His legs were also so weak that he could barely exert any strength, and he was about to collapse to the ground at any moment.

His heart was pounding wildly, and even his temples and forehead seemed to be pounding along with it.

He began to not hear outside sounds, and everything else began to move away, covered with a thick film, except for the sound of his heartbeat.

This was a sign of physical exhaustion.

'I can't go on! I must find a place to hide. If I guessed correctly, that monster has a time limit to its stay. As long as I wait until the time is up, I can successfully get through it!'

Li Cheng颐 understood and began to scan this floor of the garage, enduring the snowflakes appearing in his eyes.

Soon, he endured the snowflakes that appeared in his eyes and found a corner, and quickly rushed towards it.

But just as he had rushed out half the distance, he suddenly felt as if something had flashed past him on his side.

'?!' He quickly stopped and looked back.

He saw that on a white wall he had passed, there was a narrow, dark crack in the wall.

The crack was located on the side of a load-bearing column, right in the shadow of the light, and it was easy to ignore if you didn't look closely.

The crack was not wide, just enough for a person to squeeze through sideways, and there was a small black mark on the edge of the opening.

Looking from the outside in, Li Cheng颐 could only see a dark and deep space, not knowing how deep the crack was. The outside light could only illuminate about one meter deep.

'I've been here before, and there was definitely no such crack!' He was quite certain.

In order to find an exit, he had searched and scanned step by step, looking at every inch of the wall, and it was impossible to miss such a large crack.

But now...
