Chapter 1704: Fear and Confusion
A strange feeling crept over him. Gu Fan shook his head, tossing aside the chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind. The priority right now was to figure out how to regroup with everyone else.
As for whether to go left or right, no one could make up their minds, so they all turned to the boss.
"What a hassle," the boss sighed, resigned to bearing the responsibility and pressure. He picked a direction at random.
Everyone followed the boss, having no choice. After all, he seemed strong and had a gun in hand. A gun meant a sense of security, right?
So, the group advanced along a row of houses, constantly alert to the surrounding noises. Especially that pitch-black grove nearby—they were truly worried something might leap out from there.
Gu Fan’s heart was racing, overwhelmed by tension and fear. He wondered, if "that thing" was following them, what method would it use? Would it jump between rooftops or keep pace with them through the forest?
Suddenly, something fell from the rooftop, hitting the ground with a crash and narrowly missing someone. The group was startled into a cold sweat.
Looking closely, Gu Fan realized it was debris from the roof. How could this happen for no reason? Could it really be a coincidence?
Wait a second. Gu Fan instinctively looked up and caught a glimpse of something like a rope swaying across the roof. His expression froze in shock—"that thing" was skulking across the rooftop, following them silently.
With a loud crash, a large section of roof tiles was dislodged, tumbling down and raining onto the group below.
"Not good! Run!" The group shielded their heads with their hands and dashed forward.
