Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 209

At first, Zhou Chen's arrival did not cause too much of a stir in the hall since he was quietly standing in the corner.

However, as time passed, more and more people in the hall realized that Zhou Chen had arrived. Some of them showed nervous expressions, as if they wanted to quickly leave the hall. However, some of them looked calm, pretending not to have seen Zhou Chen.

"Brother Zhou, why are you here? You just completed a mission yesterday. You can rest tonight." At this moment, Little Li walked over and asked him with a smile.

"Hehe, I just came to take a look. Moreover, the mission tonight might not necessarily exclude me." Zhou Chen, who was sitting in a chair, smiled at her.

"Definitely not. The old residents said that no one will be forced into missions continuously." The petite girl said indignantly.

"Whatever, I'll just check what the mission is." Zhou Chen was indifferent to this. He could accept it if the mission did not mention him. In any case, he had already gained a lot today.

However, he had a feeling that this apartment would assign him a mission because he knew his identity was special here. He might be targeted, just like when he was given a mission the moment he entered here.

The two of them chatted for a while more before a line of bloody words appeared on the wall of the hall.

"All residents will take the eerie bus to the Bizarre Village and return in three days."

The description of the blood mission was very short, but it made everyone in the living room feel that something was wrong.

"Everyone is mobilized? Why is there such a mission? Has anyone seen it before?"

"No, I'm considered among the senior batch in this apartment, but I've never encountered such a mission, nor have I heard of it from the previous residents."

"How strange, did the apartment go crazy?"

"Don't speak nonsense. No one knows what this apartment is."

"What are you worried about? Everyone is mobilized! Don't you know that there's strength in numbers? Our chances of survival will be higher!"

"Are you stupid? The apartment is sending all of us to do the mission together, how can it be simple? Just listening to the name feels like this Bizarre Village will be a very dangerous place. All of us just might become food for the evil entities!"

…

Many residents were communicating with each other and expressing their thoughts about this sudden mobilization mission. They clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Zhou Chen and Little Li also discussed.

"Brother Zhou, it seems strange for the apartment to send everyone to do the mission together!"

"Hmm, the apartment is probably not sending everyone to vacation." Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that you're very powerful. I'll follow you when the mission begins." Little Li smiled at Zhou Chen, indicating that she wanted to follow him.

"Alright, I'll attack if any evil entities appear, but you have to be careful. My protection is not foolproof." Zhou Chen said casually.

"Me too, Brother Zhou. I want to join your team too." At this moment, He Jin walked to Zhou Chen's side.

"No problem. Be smart and let me deal with evil entities." Zhou Chen replied indifferently.

He was only conveniently protecting these two. Anyway, as long as he killed the monsters, it would be the same as protecting them.

The few of them chatted for a while more before the dazed feeling that he had experienced earlier reappeared. When he regained his senses, he realized that he was already standing inside a large bus. The people standing in front and behind him were all residents of the apartment.

He quickly scanned the bus and realized that the seats of this large passenger bus were quite empty. There were only a few people sitting there. These people looked unfamiliar and did not seem to be from the apartment.

'There are others? The Bloodthirst is telling me that they are indeed human. Strange.'

Seeing this, Zhou Chen walked toward a window seat. Near the window was a yellow-haired woman who was sitting quietly and looking out the window.

He wanted to see if he could get any information from this person who was already sitting in the bus.

While Zhou Chen was walking, the other residents in the apartment also moved toward the seats.

There were 30 or so residents, and there were clearly a lot of empty seats in the large bus, so they were not in a hurry. They moved in an orderly manner.

The buzz-cut young man patted the empty seat beside him and shouted to Little Li, "Little Li! Come sit here!"

"No need, I want to sit with Brother Zhou." Little Li immediately rejected the buzz-cut young man and followed Zhou Chen. He Jin had also locked onto Zhou Chen's seat and walked toward him.

Before long, the 30 or so residents finished choosing their seats.

"Friends, there doesn't seem to be a driver?" Just as everyone sat down, a male resident who had chosen a seat very near the front said curiously. His voice was not loud, but basically everyone heard him.

"That's normal. How can the eerie bus be normal? I won't be surprised even if it can fly." A middle-aged man with many wrinkles on his face replied indifferently.

"Don't be so thoughtless. From my experience, it might not be easy for us to arrive at the destination safely." Another resident expressed his opinion and raised a small discussion.

At this moment, Zhou Chen had already sat down beside the woman by the window and struck up a conversation with her,

"Miss, are you from the apartment too?" He had a smile on his face and spoke to the woman calmly.

"No." The woman immediately turned around and revealed a young and delicate face. "The place I came from is called the Terror Train. Are you all residents of the Blood Letter Apartment?"

She clearly knew a lot and immediately guessed what apartment Zhou Chen was talking about.

"Yes." Zhou Chen nodded slightly. "Can you tell me what the Terror Train is?"

He was curious about this new term.

"It's just a place similar to your Blood Letter Apartment. However, its appearance is a moving train. Just like your apartment, the Terror Train likes to throw us into haunted places and torture us." This young yellow-haired woman was a good talker. With just a few words, she easily described the Terror Train.

"I didn't expect there to be another such place in this world. I thought the Blood Letter Apartment was special."

Zhou Chen felt his vision expand when he heard this. It turned out that the Blood Letter Apartment was not unique.

"Hehe, from what I know, in this world, other than the Blood Letter Apartment and the Terror Train, there are also existences like the Hell Theater and the Devil's Post Office. They are also similar, and they also have the goal of torturing us humans," the yellow-haired woman replied.

"How do you know so much? I've never heard of a Terror Train in the apartment." After observing her, Zhou Chen was very sure that this yellow-haired woman was an ordinary human and not an evil entity in disguise. He somewhat believed her.

"That's because you are probably new to this place and have experienced too few missions. Didn't you encounter me this time?" The yellow-haired woman smiled at Zhou Chen again.

"Alright, let's stop at this. I have to focus on observing the outside. Those things might be coming."

She then turned to look out of the window.

"What's coming? Evil entities?" Zhou Chen's interest was piqued. He also cast his gaze out the window.

The light outside the window was rather dim. He could see that there were only various types of crushed stones on the barren ground. In the distance were some bare hills that looked very desolate.

"Yes, be prepared. This eerie bus attracts a group of evil entities every once in a while. Although the bus will block most of them for us, some might get through," the yellow-haired woman replied calmly without turning around.

'How does this woman know so much? Moreover, she knows everything. Is this her mission?' Zhou Chen couldn't help but think.

"Respected passengers, the bus will be moving now. The next stop will be the Bizarre Town."

Following the mechanical female voice, the bus began to move forward silently. Everyone could only hear the sound of the tires rolling on the gravel, but not the sound of the engine starting.

"Passengers, please close the windows while the bus is moving; otherwise, you might catch a cold."

After the bus started moving, the electronic female voice sounded again to remind the passengers.

Then, the sounds of windows closing appeared one after the other. Everyone was very decisive. No one said that they wanted to open the windows to feel the cool air.

This was very normal. The people sitting in the bus had seen evil entities and knew to obey the rules.

'There's no one suspicious in this bus.'

At this moment, Zhou Chen, who was watching the yellow-haired woman close the window, thought to himself. He had carefully observed the passengers in the bus, and judged that they were not monsters in disguise. They were all normal humans.

The atmosphere in the bus became silent. The residents who were chatting stopped talking and began to observe the outside and inside the bus, as if they were guarding against something.

After five minutes of driving calmly, the yellow-haired woman beside Zhou Chen suddenly said, "They're here."

"Yeah, I just can't see clearly."

Zhou Chen was also observing the outside. He had the Low Light Vision, so he might be the first person to see the strange scene in the distance.

Black shadows were slowly flying over from the desolate hills in the distance. There were all kinds of shadows. Some had graceful outlines like beauties, while others looked like ferocious monsters.

However, these shadows had one thing in common. The details on their bodies were unclear, and they were blurry and changing like smoke.

'These things are evil entities? They don't seem to be very strong.'

While observing these shadows, Zhou Chen was thinking if he should go out and fight them to test their strength.

However, he chose to play it safe first. He asked the red female specter, Little Red, through the spiritual connection.

"Little Red, can you sense those things outside? Are you confident in killing them?" Zhou Chen asked Little Red in his mind.

Half a breath later, he received Little Red's feedback: The things outside are very strong. It can only risk death to kill one or two of them.

'Oh? Did I underestimate them? But they're far away now, and I can't sense much.' Zhou Chen continued to think about his next strategy.

"Brother Zhou, are evil entities coming?" Little Li was sitting in the seat near Zhou Chen. She heard the conversation between Zhou Chen and the yellow-haired woman and asked him worriedly.

"Yes, be careful." Zhou Chen reminded her and then looked at He Jin who was sitting beside Little Li. "Brother He, your observation skills are quite good. Help me pay attention to the situation on the bus. I need to focus on the outside."

"Alright, Brother Zhou, I'll pay attention." He Jin nodded.

Then, he saw Zhou Chen stand up from his seat. He turned around slightly and pressed a hand on the window glass to look outside.

At the same time, low cries sounded inside the bus.

"What are those things?!"

"What? It's all dark."

"Is there anything outside? Why can't I see it?"

…

After the initial exclamation, a woman's scream came from inside the bus.

A female resident stood up from her seat and shouted with a trembling voice, "Ghost! The ghosts are coming! Let's escape quickly!"

"What are you making a fuss about? Have you never seen any ghosts? Go out? Are you stupid?" A young man beside the woman said to her in disdain.

"Ghosts are coming! It will be too late if we don't escape now!" However, the woman insisted on her thoughts and walked to the door.

"Hold her! We can't let her go out! She is probably bewitched!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in the bus. It was Uncle Wang, who had been beaten up by the tattooed man not long ago. He still had a few bandages on his head, but the condition of his body did not affect his judgment.

"Alright, Uncle Wang! I almost didn't think of it." The young man immediately stood up and pulled the woman back to her seat.

However, just as he forced the woman to sit down, he saw her raise her head and smile at him coldly. Her eyes were completely black and her face was pale. She looked like a baleful specter.

"F*ck!" The young man shuddered and jumped out of his seat.
