The City of Terror

Shan Bing was probably starving, as he immediately chomped on the barbecued meat when he caught it.

Shan Bing didn’t expect the barbecued meat that Wei Xiao Bei gave him to be in anyway delicious. He was even afraid that it might be poisoned.

A guy like Wei Xiao Bei won’t know what delicious food is right? Has he ever eaten French cuisine or participated in the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?

Shan Bing mumbled in his mind.

If there was one advantage Shan Bing’s personality had, it was that he could endure suffering if needed.

However, when Shan Bing took his first bite, his eyes lit up with disbelief.

This is unbelievable! It is so delicious!

Eating the delicious barbecued meat made Shan Bing feel bad, but it didn’t taste bad at all. It was as if the reasons he used to look down upon Wei Xiao Bei were being slowly stripped away and he had no way to stop it.

However, Shan Bing felt even worse as he couldn’t say that he didn’t want the barbecued meat, as it was the only solution to his unbearable hunger.

Usually, a pampered guy like Shan Bing would not have a huge appetite. Some may even suffer from food aversion.

However, Shan Bing was starving at that moment. The piece of barbecued meat vanished from his hands in a few minutes. He then picked up the bottle of mineral water and chugged its contents down.

Shan Bing’s face was smeared with oil from the barbecued meat. It didn’t feel comfortable, so he wiped it off with his sleeves.

Shan Bing would never have done that previously. He was still a gentleman, after all. It was important to keep a perfumed handkerchief on him at all times, as it was vulgar to wipe one’s mouth with their sleeves.

Anyway, he had satisfied his hunger and quenched his thirst. This was the second time he had felt life was this amazing. The first time he had this feeling was when he had sex with his first girlfriend.

No matter what he did, this feeling never appeared again.

Regardless of if he was racing cars or fooling around with girls, Shan Bing always felt endlessly empty after the satisfaction subsided.

This kind of thing, if not experienced was hard to describe.

“Thank you.”

Shan Bing thanked Wei Xiao Bei with some difficulty. He then sat atop the parapet beside Wei Xiao Bei. He didn’t know what to say.

Before this, Shan Bing would never dare to sit on the parapet, but after experiencing such unimaginable horror, he felt that his courage had increased.

Of course, if you offered him another chance to go to the strange house or get close with the zombies, he would never say yes.

“You can’t leave here for the time being.”

Seeing Shan Bing being so quiet, Wei Xiao Bei revealed something that almost made Shan Bing jump from the parapet.

It was indeed the truth. Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t lying to him.

Upon entering the Dust World, one couldn’t immediately return to reality. It required a certain amount of time, approximately half the time of their maximum stay, to leave.

Shan Bing was about to ask something, but Wei Xiao Bei stopped him from speaking again, “This is the Dust World. It differs from reality. It has various monsters and those you saw were just a small portion of them.”

Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t trying to portray himself as a caring figure, but he recognized that Shan Bing still had some value. Thinking of his previous attempt to befriend Zhou Xing Yuan gave him the idea of befriending Shan Bing.

Although Shan Bing was a good-for-nothing, the Hua Yang Group and his mother’s company could both be considered huge organizations in Cui Hu City, and even in the entire province.

For Wei Xiao Bei to be unobstructed in reality was worthy of at least some effort.

However, Wei Xiao Bei’s thoughts weren’t that simple. He planned to influence the changes in the Dust World via the real world!

A number of previous incidents had already confirmed his hypothesis.

The changes in the Dust World had some relationship with the real world.

For instance, the relocation of the houses in the apartment street caused the collapse of the apartment street in the Dust World.

A movie theater playing Resident Evil in the real world caused the appearance of zombies in the Dust World, and so on.

Of course, it would be considerably difficult to influence the Dust World via the real world. However, if he was successful, the benefits he would receive were indescribable.

Listening to Wei Xiao Bei’s words made Shan Bing’s mouth wide open. He didn’t know what to say.

Was Wei Xiao Bei trying to fool him? Shan Bing’s common sense told him that all these things couldn’t be elaborate props.

If someone really had the ability to create such an environment, they must be extremely powerful in order to create the many dilapidated buildings in his surroundings.

Why would such a powerful person fool me?

In fact, Shan Bing still believed in his eyes and instincts, a future successor like him born with a silver spoon couldn’t be deceived to such an extreme degree.

Even though Shan Bing’s behavior was slightly unusual and a little brash, he was still considered quite smart.

Wei Xiao Bei took in all of Shan Bing’s facial expressions. He didn’t continue to talk, but instead asked Shan Bing, “How did you come here?”

“I fell down from a window.”

Shan Bing was extremely ashamed when he answered the question.

It was indeed embarrassing to admit such a thing.

He had planned to peek on someone else’s girlfriend but had ended up falling down accidentally. It was too embarrassing, or at least that was how Shan Bing viewed the situation.

Hearing his answer, Wei Xiao Bei uncontrollably smirked.

Is this what being wealthy turns you into?

To pursue a woman, he did anything he could think of and eventually got himself into this mess. To partake in such behavior, was outside of Wei Xiao Bei’s realm of possibility.

If he really liked a woman, he would probably kidnap her and then leave. He would never sink so low as to peek on her.

“By the way, tell me everything that happened after you entered the Dust World. This is really important, so don’t mess around.”

Wei Xiao Bei had an intuition that Shan Bing knew something that he didn’t.

Subsequently, Shan Bing’s recollection of his memories caused a cold chill to run down Wei Xiao Bei’s spine.

“I saw a woman in red tidying up her hair in front of a dresser!”

“I couldn’t see her face but I could feel that she smiled at me.”

“She wasn’t wearing shoes. Actually no, there was nothing beneath her leg!”

Shan Bing was frightened by his own words.

The initially cloudy memories suddenly became crystal clear. He could even feel the woman’s presence in his surroundings.

No, it was like she was standing behind Wei Xiao Bei.

When Shan Bing revealed this speculation through grinding teeth, Wei Xiao Bei inexplicably felt chill throughout his spine once again.

This had already been calculated into Wei Xiao Bei’s estimations. He’d been possessed by evil spirits a few times already, and it should be the same this time.

Even if this was the case, Wei Xiao Bei’s face didn’t display any signs of nervousness. He instead began to contemplate the situation he found himself in.

According to Shan Bing, he was knocked out by Wei Xiao Bei before entering the master’s bedroom.

Wei Xiao Bei was confident in the control of his strength. Based on Shan Bing’s heartbeat and a few other things, he most definitely fainted.

Yet, how did the fainted Shan Bing see the woman in red?

Unless Shan Bing was intentionally lying to him. However, if it was made up, there’s no way he could describe it so realistically. Shan Bing therefore definitely did not know about the relationship between the woman in red and the footsteps.

Other than that, Wei Xiao Bei could only see a pair of bright red heels, yet Shan Bing’s vision of the woman in red didn’t have a face or anything below her lower legs.

In other words, whatever Wei Xiao Bei saw, Shan Bing didn’t; and vice versa.

Fuck!

Wei Xiao Bei felt more horrified the longer he thought about it. He even began feeling cold sweats running down his back.

In fact, Wei Xiao Bei would never want to face such a strange presence. If it wasn’t for the Divine White Mist Great Spear, he wouldn’t dare to enter the Dust World from Li Lan Xing’s rented place from the start.

However, he seemed to lose his mind by his tremendously increased strength.

The condition of the footsteps was indeed weird. Other than the appearance of bright red heels, the other parts of the woman could only be seen when you have fainted.

After Wei Xiao Bei confirmed that point, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. In any case, he managed to damage the strange being and learn something about it.

In the Dust World, many unexpected things would come one after another and Wei Xiao Bei would no doubt know about them soon.

Shan Bing finished chugging the last bit of water and then gasped for air. When he was about to ask Wei Xiao Bei about how to get back, he felt a slight quake from the cement floor.

Although the quake was mild, Shan Bing could feel the slight shake it caused. The reason why he felt it was simple. Quakes, when transmitted to tall buildings from the ground, were amplified.

Wei Xiao Bei had already noticed it and moved his head to look in a certain direction.

There were some familiar buildings in that direction, such as the Cheng Clan Dojo.

Without a doubt, the quake was caused by a gigantic creature.

Noticing Wei Xiao Bei staring in a certain direction, Shan Bing bolstered his courage and looked in the same direction.

A gigantic object had just appeared at the opposite end of the street when Shan Bing looked. He was so frightened that he almost wet himself.

What is this monster?!

It was more than thirty meters long and fifteen to sixteen meters tall. It had four legs, a pair of horns on its head, a round belly and a long, slender tail that was constantly swaying back and forth.

It looks like a cow!

It was indeed a cow, but one without skin. There was only a thick layer of red flesh in place of its skin, giving those that saw it a feeling of disgust.

Shan Bing had never seen a cow of this size.

No such creature existed on land, and even in the sea, the only animal comparable in size was the blue whale.
