Book 1: Chapter 35

I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened them again. It was too dark for me to see clearly, but I was positive that there hadnt been any fingernails in the gap just now.

These two fingernails were clearly very different from normal ones. Peoples nails could continue to grow a long time after death, which was why ancient corpses fingernails were curled. But if the nails continued to grow to a certain extent, the ends would become straight and sharp. Many people would resell this kind of fingernail as pendants and call them Heavenly Bone, but there were too few of them out there, so the price was very high. Fortunately, I had seen the whole thing before. The corpse had basically been standing there with its fingernails dragging on the ground.

The owner of these two fingernails mustve also had long nails that went past their knees. But if it silently stabbed through the gap just now, did that mean that there was a zombie on the other side of this gate?

I wanted to talk, but Poker-Face still had his hand over my mouth so I couldn't. Does he have to do that? Is it not over yet? I wondered to myself. The gate was so thick that we were still relatively safe even if there was a zombie behind it, but at this time, I noticed two more fingernails slowly probe out of the gap.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

They moved very slowly, but I could clearly see the nails sticking out bit by bit. In the darkness, the group of old, mottled nails reached out strangely from the gap in the gate.

"More than one?" Fatty mouthed.

Poker-Face nodded. We stepped back slowly and saw more fingernails coming out of the gap. One, two, threenot only were they coming out of the gap in the middle of the gate, but they were also starting to emerge from the gap in the gate shaft.

The mud in the horse and chariot pit had drained into the lower level, revealing more of those fingernails from before. Not only were they growing out of the cracks in the wreckage of the thunder god statues, but they were two feet long and reaching up towards us. It almost looked like the statues had germinated and were sprouting like plants.

I suddenly had a feeling that this ancient tomb was coming back to life.

"Weve got two options. One, go down to that drainage layer and hope its connected to the underground river or another burial pit. Or two, go up and walk through the abandoned tomb passage and hope we can find another way out, Fatty said.

I narrowed my eyes as I went through everything from start to finish. Then, I took out my phone and refreshed my Bluetooth search.

Liu Sang was below us, meaning he had also entered the tomb alive. He was probably a few floors below us in the drainage level, so if he was safe, it would be better to join him. I needed his ears, after all.

The Bluetooth finally found Liu Sang's device, but the signal was very weak.

His device name now read: People everywhere, people everywhere, people everywhere.
