Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 58 Meeting a Newcomer
Today is their second day in the Lost Continent.

The number of times the poison barrier is released will increase from three to five, the number of poisonous corpses will double, and the number of keys will remain unchanged at six.

They ran into trouble yesterday; they only killed three batches of poisonous zombies and didn't get a single key.

I did manage to get a few cypress trees, but unfortunately they were all first-grade.

The drop rates of Spirit Cypress in intermediate areas are as follows: Level 1 35%, Level 2 60%, and Level 3 5%.

I don't know if it's bad luck or good luck.

Arrive at eight o'clock.

The light screen popped up precisely on time.

[Beep beep beep—]
[The first wave of poison is about to be released. Please find shelter as soon as possible.]
[Ten minutes to go, starting now.]
[09: 59: 59]
The off-road vehicle had only a little fuel left, enough to get them to the next shelter. Along the way, everyone kept an eye on the roadside, hoping to find a new vehicle or a fuel tank to resupply.

pity.

The journey was too peaceful; there was nothing there.

Arrived at the shelter.

This time it was a dilapidated residential building, six stories high, with mottled walls and ivy covering the shaded side.

The stairwell was dark and unlit. The stairs were narrow and sloping, running straight up from the first floor to the sixth floor. There were no handrails on either side, and small pebbles kept falling down when you stepped on them, making a clear, clattering sound that grew louder and louder.

It was as if the steps would collapse at any moment, and they would be smashed to pieces.

Scarlett started to get nervous after taking only a couple of steps.

She does not have a fear of heights.

But in the current situation, she would be scared even if she didn't have a fear of heights.

There are three minutes left before the poison gas is released.

They must press on and make it to the top.

Scarlett looked up at the building.

The hallway was dark, but the light from the rooftop was blinding, a blinding white light that made it impossible to see anything.

Look at your feet.

The stairs were suspended in mid-air, and the ground beneath my feet felt like a bottomless pit. I felt that if I fell, I would starve to death before I even died from the fall.

Scarlett was extremely nervous.

But she didn't dare stop, keeping her head down and following behind Chi Ye.

The staircase is too narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

She had Sylvia and Holst behind her; stopping would waste time and cause trouble for everyone.

Scarlett gritted her teeth and charged forward, treating it like she was climbing a mountain—just keep climbing and it'll be over.

at last.

She stepped over the last step and reached the sixth floor.

Look back down.

The staircase was completely obscured by gloomy blackness, making it even more frightening.

She quickly shrank into the room, and after Sevier and Holster came in, she hurriedly closed the door.

Turning around, he met Holst's probing gaze, his smoky gray pupils hard and devoid of any warmth.

Scarlett had seen this look frequently ever since she made Duke get out of the car yesterday, and she was already used to it and calmly ignored it.

The room is about 20 square meters, with no other space. You can see the whole room at a glance. The sofa, coffee table, and chairs are placed in the middle, forming a simple rest area.

Scarlett sat down on the fabric sofa, stretched, and then took out some food and placed it on the coffee table.

She woke up late today and hasn't had breakfast yet.

Food is the most important thing for people; let's eat our fill first.

After breakfast, Scarlett felt sleepy again and lay down on the sofa for a nap.

It must be said that she is very relaxed at times, exuding a calm and composed demeanor as if she has seen through the illusions of life.

Once the poisonous gas dissipated, Scarlett woke up from her drowsiness, and the four continued their journey.

This time, however, it wasn't as easy as yesterday.

open the door.

They saw countless poisonous corpses standing on the stairs, heads raised, backs bent, staring at the door, motionless.

The sound of the door opening was like a button, activating their bloodthirsty nature. They moved their heads, rolled their eyes, and rushed forward in a flurry.

"Ahhhh!"

The poisonous zombies are killing people!!!

Scarlett was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.

Chi Ye, who had just opened the door, reacted swiftly and slammed it shut with a loud bang, sending several of the fastest-charging poisonous corpses flying.

But this is far from enough.

The staircase was filled with poisonous zombies, numbering at least several hundred.

Holster walked to the window and glanced outside. A large number of poisonous corpses were parked downstairs, blocking the entrance to the stairwell completely. Even though the stairwell was completely blocked, they were still frantically pushing forward.

They were clearly attracted to them. It seems the doorway is the best place to deal with them.

Holst told Chiye this information.

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Chi Ye patted his chest, took out a machine gun, set it up at the door, loaded it with bullets, and gave Holster a wink.

Holster understood. He placed his hand on the doorknob and, before turning it, looked at Scarlett. "Go hide in the Severus region."

The poisonous corpse carries toxic gas, which Scarlett's mental strength is too weak to resist. If something happens to her, it will affect them.

Scarlett nodded, and without wasting a second, she grabbed Saviour's hand and quickly hid in the area.

They disappeared.

Holster decisively opened the door.

Countless poisonous corpses pounced on them.

Chi Ye controlled the machine gun, firing at full power. The sound of "rat-a-tat-tat-tat" echoed throughout the room, and the light that burst out was hotter than flames, scalding the poisonous corpses. They grimaced and swayed from side to side. One of them veered off course and fell down the stairs with the other poisonous corpses behind him, disappearing into the bottomless black hole.

There was no echo.

The poisoned corpses were dealt with in three minutes.

Several cypress trees and a key floated out and flew into Chi Ye's hand.

[Warning! Warning!]
[Poisonous gas is about to be released from the shelter. Please evacuate immediately!]
[One minute countdown.]
[00: 59: 59]
Time was of the essence, so Chi Ye didn't take inventory and put everything into his ring space.

He opened the window, confirmed that all the poisonous corpses downstairs were gone, and called out to Sylvia and Scarlett, saying, "There's no time to go down the stairs. Let's jump down. There are no poisonous corpses downstairs, so it's safe."

Scarlett listened to his words, glanced downstairs, and felt a mix of emotions.

Six stories high, twenty meters tall.

It is quite safe.

Whether they will survive is unknown.

Chi Ye noticed Scarlett's hesitation, picked her up, and said, "Hold on tight, I'll take you downstairs."

Before Scarlett could react, she felt a gust of wind rush past her ears, making them sting. She looked to her side and saw that Chi Ye, that idiot, had just jumped off the building with her!

She was so frightened that her scalp tingled. She quickly hugged Chi Ye's neck, buried her head in the crook of his neck, and curled up as much as possible to minimize the contact area when she hit the ground and cushion the impact so that she wouldn't die too painfully.

Although Chi Ye is reckless, he is very capable.

Sixth floor.

Arrives in two seconds.

Scarlett felt a slight tremor in her body, and the wind in her ears suddenly stopped.

But she didn't jump off the building. She didn't know how long the distance would take, and she was also afraid. Even though it was quiet around her, she didn't dare to open her eyes and clung tightly to Chi Ye.

Chi Ye remained silent, letting her hold him.

The faint fragrance surrounded him, making him feel incredibly comfortable, his mind and body completely immersed in it.

Holster stood by the window and saw them land safely. He stepped onto the windowsill, jumped down, and landed steadily.

Seville followed closely behind.

However, his aim wasn't as good as Holster's, and he veered off course, crashing into the flowerbed next to him.

it hurts.

Sylvia endured the pain and got up, brushing the dirt and fallen leaves off her body. Seeing that Chi Ye was still holding Scarlett, she went over and called out, "Scarlett, we're here."

"arrive?"

Scarlett looked up.

It's on the first floor.

We arrived just as expected.

She breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off Chi Ye, and all her fear vanished. Looking at the wrecked car by the roadside, her face brightened, and she walked forward with renewed vigor, "Let's go! Let's find a new car."

After taking only a couple of steps, Scarlett stopped, backed away, and returned to her original position.

Chi Ye, who had been glaring at Sevier, quickly withdrew his murderous look when Scarlett returned, and gave a fake smile. "What's wrong?"

Scarlett pointed in a direction and stretched out her index finger, "There's someone there."

Chi Ye, Holst, and Saviya all looked over.

A group of seven people was walking towards them, about 100 meters ahead.

The one in the lead is female.

He was very tall, about 1.8 meters, with wheat-colored skin, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a very heroic air.
