Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

The familiar taste spread along my taste buds.

The girl was unaware that Qi Zhimu had secretly added a drug to the candy.

It's harmless and will allow her to sleep peacefully.

Within two minutes, the girl began to emit a barely perceptible, even breathing rhythm.

"I'm sorry, Little Tower..."

"Your body is too weak right now, and this is the only way to reduce its energy expenditure."

"I will take you away from this world as soon as possible and find a place where you can rest for a while."

Qi Zhimu tore his shirt into strips and carried the Black Tower on his back, securing it tightly.

"It won't be long. I've finished watching The Mirror and I know how to survive to the end and leave."

With a gentle touch of his fingertips to the tired little face resting on his shoulder, Qi Zhimu's eyes were firm as he continued forward without hesitation.

Again.

Knowing the conditions for survival doesn't mean that he, in his current poor condition, can calmly cope with various crises.

After passing the fourth level, Qi Zhimu's ankle skin was peeled off, exposing the broken bone.

The strong smell of blood awakened the sleeping girl's dream, and she struggled to open her eyes.

She witnessed Qi Zhimu using his abundant power to heal his injuries.

Because the medication was still in effect, she couldn't speak at all.

He awoke for less than ten seconds before falling back asleep, leaving only a single tear that spilled from the corner of his eye.

She understood what her beloved brother Mu was doing.

After passing the fourth level, there was no more danger. Qi Zhimu did not enter the door. It took a full hour for the faint glow in his palm to completely go out.

It's not that his injuries were completely healed, but rather... he was almost completely exhausted.

"Having only recently embarked on this path of abundance, the power I can control is still far too limited..."

With a helpless sigh, Qi Zhimu set off again, his steps slightly unnatural as he stepped through the door leading to the final challenge.

Unlike his experience as a magician, after arriving at the office building, Qi Zhimu ignored the NPCs' surprised stares and went straight to the place where the art mirrors that could be pieced together were located.

In reality, the condition for gradually removing the restrictions on the Mirror Ghost is to find a certain number of mirrors, not to kill 108 NPCs.

Some of the art mirrors are so large that they can only be carried by hand.

That's why he tied the Black Tower to his body.

The hunt began ahead of schedule.

Qi Zhimu doesn't know magic, so the intensity of the Mirror Ghost's pursuit isn't that high.

However, the injuries sustained were not significantly different.

When he returned to the starting floor, his left arm was torn off by the Mirror Ghost and left forever in front of the entrance to the starting floor.

Seeing that Qi Zhimu had taken emergency measures to stop the bleeding, and then gritted his teeth and immediately began to piece together the art mirror, while his past self remained intact, no one knew what Black Tower was feeling at that moment.

The magician Qi Zhimu lost both arms, but he can sew them back on and wait for them to heal. He is not afraid to fight the Mirror Ghost.

The original human, Qi Zhimu, is no good; he is truly just an ordinary human.

Severely injured, once he leaves the starting floor, the Mirror Ghost, having released all its restrictions, will surely kill him.

Once you piece together the entrance to the Mirror Ghost's true form, go inside, kill it, and you'll be teleported away.

Therefore, he was destined never to retrieve his severed arm.

Since the Mirror Demon's true form was unable to move and had no combat ability, Qi Zhimu quickly appeared in Grizzly City.

Unlike the experience of the magician Qi Zhimu, the original human Qi Zhimu entered Grizzly City one minute before the outbreak of the zombie virus.

He was near the disordered protagonist, not on that abandoned highway.

After the virus outbreak, Qi Zhimu helped him resolve the trouble and then they went to the hospital together.

The man needs to find his daughter, and he also needs to find medicine to treat his injuries.

The road conditions were difficult, and Black Tower crashed into many zombies and vehicles blocking the way. He vaguely woke up once more.

Before she could fully regain consciousness, she was shaken so violently that she fainted, only managing to hear a few key words spoken by Qi Zhimu to the driver.

Grizzly City, zombies, hospitals, race car drivers, and more...

She recognized it as a movie she had watched part of with Qi Zhimu, Disorder.

But that's all there is to it.

Besides being a doctor, the protagonist of the disordered story is also a race car driver in his spare time. He has a hobby of modifying cars and has installed reinforced anti-collision beams on his off-road vehicle.

Otherwise, after driving recklessly for so long, the car would have fallen apart and been totaled long ago.

With Qi Zhimu's seemingly precognitive guidance, the disordered male protagonist quickly found his daughter and helped Qi Zhimu treat his injuries.

In order to survive, he could not abandon this mysterious one-armed man who had suddenly appeared.

Furthermore, he considered himself to be in the same boat as Qi Zhimu, because they had both lost loved ones.

He'd risk anything to save his remaining family members.

The disordered male protagonist doesn't understand the true relationship between Qi Zhimu and the Black Tower, nor does he need to.

All that is known is that Qi Zhimu even predicted that the military would contact him.

Therefore, he requested that the military prepare two more evacuation slots, otherwise he would rather not leave.

The disordered protagonist isn't stupid; he knows whether it's better to follow the military, who know nothing about the future, or someone with the ability to foresee the future.

We must keep Qi Zhimu and his sister by our side.

The military was quite accommodating, claiming they would send multiple helicopters to provide support, offering not just two, but twenty.

However, the military also faces difficulties. Clearing up internal chaos and preparing forces will take time, and it is expected that the aircraft will not be able to be dispatched for several days.

"A helicopter...not a ship?!" Black Tower looked surprised.

But considering that I hadn't finished watching the movie and knew nothing about what happened next, I felt relieved and continued to follow and observe.

When the disordered male lead helped Qi Zhimu treat his severed arm, the shock of the bloody scene made her bite her lip until it bled without realizing it.

"Why is your sister unconscious?"

After treating Qi Zhimu's injuries, the disordered male protagonist couldn't help but ask.

"...She's seriously injured. I need to find the right medication to give her the injection," Qi Zhimu said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll help you! What do you need?"

"Glucose, and..."

Next, the two men, each with the girl they cared about, struggled to survive in a hospital overflowing with corpses.

The newly transformed zombies were not fast, and could only barely keep up with them, tirelessly chasing after them.

Having found the necessary medication, the disordered male protagonist and Qi Zhimu arrived at the hospital's staff apartment.

After setting up defensive structures in the passageway and clearing out the zombies on their floor, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They will then remain at this temporary base and await helicopters dispatched by the military.

But bad news came the next day: the military said that too many helicopters had been damaged in the chaos and that boats had to be dispatched instead, requiring them to go to a designated port.

Qi Zhimu: "It's alright, I can predict routes with relatively lower risks."

Upon hearing this, the disordered male protagonist felt slightly relieved.

The supplies in the apartment were enough to last them for a few days.

Not long after, Black Tower, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up, met a familiar face, and heard his voice.

"Little Tower, how are you feeling?"

"...I'm fine..."

The future of Black Tower is uncertain.

The events experienced by the magician Qi Zhimu and the original human Qi Zhimu so far have had almost identical outcomes.

However, there are significant discrepancies between the events and timeline in Grizzly City.

"What could be the reason...?"
