Chapter 195: Dark Li
Growl!
The rune corpse lunged at Dark Li.
Dark Li hurriedly leapt backward from his crouching position and ended up tripping on the stairs. Gao Yang immediately grabbed his elbow and pulled him back, but the rune corpse managed to grab Dark Li’s calf, startling him.
“Get off!”
Dark Li stomped on the rune corpse’s face, quickly kicking it off him. However, without the protection of his boot, the heel of his right foot grazed the rune corpse’s open mouth, and the skin was scratched by its teeth.
Dark Li understood the implication immediately, and he was calmer than he expected.
He had anticipated that he could die trying to save Yellow Butterfly. In fact, he had pictured the different scenarios countless times, thinking about the kind of dangers they might run into and the different ways he might sacrifice himself for her.
He didn’t regret anything. He simply felt a little rueful. That the woman he had loved for years wasn’t here to witness his sacrifice.
Dark Li quickly climbed to his feet and shoved the inhaler into Gao Yang’s hand.
“Go!”
Gao Yang took it and helped Dark Li up. They scrambled up the stairs.
However, the noises made had already drawn the rune corpses on the fourth floor to them, and they found themselves trapped in the middle.
Dark Li rushed forward with his arms open, holding the rune corpses blocking their way at bay to make a path for Gao Yang.
Without mercy, the rune corpses bit into Dark Li’s shoulders, neck, and arms.
“Ah!” Dark Li cried out in pain, yet his hold over the rune corpses remained strong. He called out to Gao Yang, “Go! Now!”
Heart sinking, Gao Yang turned around and bolted without another look back.
Three seconds later, he heard Dark Li’s impassioned voice ringing throughout the building, “Yellow Butterfly! Stay alive!” This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
In less than ten seconds, Gao Yang rushed back to the fifth floor and reached the door to the broadcast room.
He knocked on the door, “Open up!”
Then he headed back to the storage room and shouted by the door, “Stop drawing their attention, Gray Bear! Let them come out!”
Gray Bear stopped cursing, and drawn by Gao Yang’s voice, the rune corpses inside the storage room turned around and dashed out. Gao Yang quickly dove into the broadcast room and shut the door.
How could a person’s life be summarized in a few sentences?
Silence followed.
“Done!” Just in time, Old Joe’s voice broke the heavy atmosphere. While they were wallowing in grief, he alone had been fixing the machine.
He picked up the microphone and spoke into it.
“Ahem. Hello, microphone testing...”
Nine Frost stood by the window and immediately heard Old Joe’s voice coming out from the speakers outside.
The rune corpses roaming aimlessly were drawn by the sounds and stayed in clusters, but as soon as Old Joe stopped speaking, they resumed their meandering.
Old Joe stood up and turned to the others. “Now we just have to pick a cassette.”
There were many cassettes in the room. Xiran opened the glass cabinet storing them and rummaged around. He quickly picked one.
“How about this?”
Gao Yang took a glance at it. It was a mixtape of Jay Chou’s songs. He nodded. “I’m good with it.”
Their future was uncertain. If he was going to die, at least it would be a comfort to die listening to his favorite songs.
The others didn’t disagree.
Old Joe took the cassette and rolled it to the very start to maximize playtime.
“Ready, Captain?”
Old Joe rested a finger on the play button, waiting for Nine Frost to make the order.
Nine Frost turned to Gao Yang. “What do you have to say?”
Gao Yang thought for a moment. “It’ll take at most 30 minutes for one side of the cassette to finish playing. During the 30 minutes, we need to go to the basketball court for our supplies, find Li Zhuanghu, and take him out.”
“If we realize we can’t do all that in time, we have to return to the broadcast room within the 30 minutes and flip the cassette tape before making our next move. Any questions?”
There was none.
“Then we move.” Nine Frost and Gray Bear went up to the door, ready to open it.
Click.
Old Joe took a deep breath and pressed the play button.
