Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 523: Slug Man Looking for a Gap

They crawled toward the house, retracting and expanding, leaving long wet trails behind them as they climbed up the wall inch by inch out of sight.

Even with the curtains drawn, the sticky gurgling sound was still obvious.

Anjiu felt as if he had become one with the room, and goose bumps appeared on his skin, as if the slug man had also crawled over him.

She was not sure whether the slime would be corrosive to the glass. If the slug man broke in through the window, she would instantly return to the wasteland and open the portal to ensure Song Haizhi's safety.

The slug-people cast long, thin shadows on the curtains, and gradually they surrounded the entire wall, overlapping and crawling around, trying to find the entrance.

An Jiu and Song Haizhi stood in front of the glass windows of the living room and kitchen respectively, with their weapons ready at all times.

Soon the two discovered that although the slug man looked scary, he did not have the ability to break the window. The only way was to use his tentacles and eyeballs to bang against it.

Apart from causing certain psychological pressure to the people inside, there is no actual harm.

"No wonder they draw the curtains," Anjiu pulled out a dining chair and sat down, "My eyes hurt from looking at them so much."

"Don't be careless yet."

Song Haizhi squatted down, opened a gap, and looked up to see human faces crawling all over the glass.

Just when he saw the other person, all the tentacles and eyeballs instantly turned downwards and locked onto him tightly.

"..."

Song Haizhi felt his scalp tingling and left quickly.

Pu Huai went around the two bedrooms and after making sure they couldn't get in, the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted idly.

Anjiu lost interest in eating. He took out a cup of milk tea and drank it slowly, then pressed the power button on the remote control, trying to turn on the TV to watch a show.

Pu Huai doesn't like the taste of milk tea and thinks it's better not to drink it. After drinking a cup, he feels like his body is stuck with sugar, which is very uncomfortable.

Song Haizhi seemed calm, but he was actually very alert, with all his attention focused on the glass.

It was quiet all around, and it was night again (it was dark outside). Their previously highly tense nerves had left them with fatigue, and their eyelids were becoming more and more sleepy, and they could hardly open them.

But the slug man was in his active period, crawling around the house, making banging sounds from one side to the other, and there was no peace for a moment.

An Jiu suggested: "The three of us will take turns on duty and be prepared for a protracted battle."

"Okay, you go back and rest first," Song Haizhi said, "No need to call your grandma out, let her have a good rest, I will just stay longer."

Anjiu: "It's not grandma, it's another person you can't see."

Song Haizhi was a little dumbfounded, "You mean he was in the house the whole time?"

"Yes, he was watching TV on the sofa while you were looking at the scenery. Maybe you didn't notice."

"I thought it was you...then he was on guard——"

"Yes, he said it's no problem."

They had a brief discussion and agreed that the first person to keep watch would be Pu Huai, followed by An Jiu, and finally Song Haizhi. Each person would keep watch for three hours and it would almost be early morning.

Song Haizhi was lying on the floor. It was bright in the room, so he covered his face with a piece of clothing to block out the light.

Anjiu returned to the space, quietly crawled into his tent, arched the soft quilt, rubbed the fluffy pillow, closed his eyes and fell asleep with great satisfaction.

Three hours later, Pu Huai gently called her to get up.

An Jiu sobered up instantly, stood up, hugged his neck and rubbed it, "Go back to sleep, I'll call you if there's anything."

Back in the B&B room, she tiptoed around to check around. The slug man was still crawling outside the window, and when he saw her, he approached her.

She closed the curtains again and returned to the sofa.

Not far away, Song Haizhi was sleeping soundly. There was no sound in the room. The slug man's crawling movements were very light and the knocking sounds were very regular, like a lullaby. As she listened to it, she began to feel sleepy again and lay down on the sofa, yawning.

There was a simple clock on the coffee table, which showed that it was twelve o'clock in the evening. She had to stay awake until three o'clock, which was exactly when she was most sleepy.

If she had a cell phone, these three hours would have been easy to endure, but unfortunately she could only sit or lie here.

Got to find something to do.

She sat up, took out the leeks she bought today, and began to pick them one by one.

I can’t imagine how excited grandma will be when she wakes up tomorrow and sees a big bowl of clean chives…

When it was three o'clock, she woke up Song Haizhi and said, "Nothing happened."

Then he returned to the space with a pot of leeks and lay in bed to catch up on his sleep.

A nap is the most sweet. She slept soundly until almost noon, and found that her grandmother and Pu Huai were not in the space. When she returned to the B&B, she found that the three of them were making dumplings, using the leeks she had picked in the middle of the night.

"Are you awake?" Grandma looked up at her and said, "Wash your hands and come over to help me. Make more dumplings today and freeze them so that you can have them whenever you want."

Anjiu glanced out the window and found that it was still the same as before going to bed, and the number of slug people seemed to have decreased.

She pulled open the curtains and looked at the rooms diagonally opposite. Their side was crawling with slug people, and from a distance it looked like a ball.

After returning to the space and washing her hands carefully, she sat down to make dumplings together.

After three days, the slug man finally disappeared, and the outside world finally returned to normal, with sunshine, hot wind, waves, and a person with a camera walking slowly on the beach.

"It looks like everything is alright. I'll go out and take a look."

An Jiu wanted to figure out what was going on. It seemed that this strange world was not difficult. If he could find the pattern, it would be easier for Song Haizhi to live here.

"Wait, let's go together."

But before he could leave, the landlord came to ask for the rent for the past few days. Fortunately, Anjiu still had some money left, so after paying an extra week's rent, he asked the landlord a very pleasant question.

Seeing that she was so straightforward, the landlord was happy to say a few more words.

“I heard that this is a mutant created in a certain laboratory. Look, the one outside with a camera on his back is stupid. He only knows how to take pictures. But wherever he points his camera, a long street will disappear out of thin air.

"It will reappear in three days, but I heard that several residents have disappeared. No one knows where they went. You are unlucky. You only rented a room for one day and still encountered this. But it should be fine after that."

She motioned for Anjiu and the others to look out the window.

Many cars came to the beach, and a group of staff wearing special clothes went straight to the people carrying cameras. The fine sand made it difficult for them to exert force under their feet, so their running posture looked fast but was actually slow.

Just as they were about to get close to their target, the man raised his camera, pointed it at them and "click", and a long white line appeared.

It was like a streak of white was wiped out on the picture, and the land disappeared along with it.

The landlord said hurriedly: "I have to leave quickly, remember to close the doors and windows, I will come back in a week!"
