Chapter 1552: Chapter 662: Lin Baici, this kid, definitely has some unspeakable little secret.

Gu Qingqiu was speechless.

"Shouldn’t I lead by example?"

Xia Hongyao was surprised.

"If you die, who will command?"

Gu Qingqiu retorted.

"You or Little Linzi. It can’t be me, right?"

Xia Hongyao thought the question was a no-brainer.

"..."

Gu Qingqiu didn’t expect Xia Hongyao to be so self-aware. To be honest, leading by example represents a selfless character in itself.

"Miaomiao stays outside to keep watch."

"Yi Jisheng leads the way."

"Xuyue brings up the rear!"

Lin Baici spoke up, assigning the tasks.

Everyone immediately complied. Although they were newcomers, they weren’t stupid and had long noticed that Xia Hongyao listened to Lin Baici particularly closely.

Yi Jisheng was the first to enter the building, followed by Lin Baici, then Xia Hongyao, with Gu Qingqiu and Ai Xuyue bringing up the rear.

As soon as they entered, a foul odor assaulted their senses.

"It smells awful!"

Ai Xuyue held her nose with a look of disgust, but the stench was pervasive, drilling into their noses like an electric drill.

Gag! Gag!

Ai Xuyue dry heaved.

Xia Hongyao also felt uncomfortable, but as the team leader, she had to set an example, so she resisted the urge to vomit and prepared to take out some gas masks. However, Lin Baici had already played the antler bone flute and started handing out the gas masks.

"Put them on quickly!"

Lin Baici urged.

Compared to the others, he had the Divine Grace of A Sip of A Hundred Flavors, so his sense of smell was enhanced, and this stench almost overwhelmed him.

Gu Qingqiu pinched his nose and surveyed the surroundings.

The numbers on the elevator were still lit, but instead of taking it, the group walked up the stairs.

On reaching the second floor, Lin Baici stepped into the corridor and took a look.

This building had a layout of two corridors and four apartments per floor.

Assuming three people per household, that’s 12 people per floor, and 26 floors in total, so it housed 312 people altogether.

Xia Hongyao mentioned that the occupancy rate in this community was very high, so the actual population in this building fluctuated around this number.

The first call to the police, reporting the stench and pig squeals, came from someone living on the 17th floor, so that was their target.

As they ascended each floor, Lin Baici would step into the corridor and glance around.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Lin Baici noticed that the door to room 501 was ajar, and faint munching sounds could be heard from within.

"Hold on, I’ll go take a look!"

Lin Baici, holding his bronze sword, approached stealthily.

Once at the door, he pressed his side against the wall, waited a few seconds, and slowly pushed the door open.

Cre-eak!

The door hinges creaked loudly.

Ugh!

Hearing this sound, Lin Baici knew he couldn’t hide anymore, so he quickly forced the apartment door open.

Due to the lower floor level and heavy obstruction, little light penetrated, making the living room somewhat dim, but Lin Baici could still see clearly.

A fat man, squatting on the ground with his back to Lin Baici, had a woman’s lifeless body lying in front of him.

Hearing the noise, the fat man suddenly turned around.

Lin Baici narrowed his eyes immediately.

This man no longer resembled a human; his body was swollen with fat, and his briefs and vest were buried deep into his flesh.

When he turned, Lin Baici saw the creature had the head of a pig, its hands clutching the woman’s intestines, stuffing them into its mouth.

Seeing Lin Baici, the unwelcome intruder, the Pig-Headed Man roared and charged at him.

"Watch out, there’s a monster!"

Lin Baici shouted and lunged at the Pig-Headed Man.

He needed to quickly slay the Pig-Headed Man, or its cries might attract more monsters.

The Pig-Headed Man lunged at Lin Baici, both hands reaching to grab him, while its drooling mouth aimed to bite Lin Baici’s head.

Its huge teeth were sharp and sturdy; once bitten, Lin Baici’s skull could be cracked open like a walnut.

Lin Baici swiftly sidestepped to the left and swung his sword!

Swish!

The right hand of the Pig-Headed Man was sliced off, and Lin Baici kicked the creature’s right knee.

Bang!

The Pig-Headed Man lost its balance and toppled to the ground.

Before it could scream in pain from the severed hand, the fallen Pig-Headed Man landed headfirst on the bronze sword.

The sharp blade pierced through its mouth and skull.

Bam!

A small Pig-Headed Man, about a meter tall, snorted as it burst through the study door, charging straight at Lin Baici.

This is clearly a child who has been polluted, still wearing some elementary school’s spring uniform, so Lin Baici hesitated a bit.

He ultimately chose not to chop off the little Pig-Headed Man’s head, but instead punched it hard.

Bang!

The little Pig-Headed Man’s eyes rolled back, fainted, and fell to the ground.

"Little Linzi, monsters are coming down from above, a kind with pig heads,"

Xia Hongyao shouted.

Because of the noise made by this Pig-Headed Man, the Pig-Headed Men on several floors were alerted, they all came out and began to hunt.

In their eyes, Lin Baici and his folks were just food.

"Kill them!"

Gu Qingqiu issued the command: "Yi Jisheng, hold the top, fight and retreat at the same time!"

"Alumnus, help Yi Jisheng, Red Medicine, the two of us will clean up the monsters downstairs!"

Gu Qingqiu was ready to proceed steadily.

"I think we can directly rush to the 17th floor and contain the Taboo things, so, maybe these Pig-Headed Men can return to their original form!"

Xia Hongyao suggested.

From the clothing on these fat Pig-Men, they are clearly residents of this building who have been polluted.

Gu Qingqiu’s tactic was obviously to clear monsters floor by floor upwards, which meant these people would die.

"What if the Taboo things aren’t on the 17th floor? What if you can’t contain them immediately? That way, we’ll get surrounded."

Gu Qingqiu rejected.

"Don’t you and Little Linzi have this? If I can’t do it, you surely can!"

Xia Hongyao’s tone was justified.

She believed Lin Baici combined with Gu Qingqiu was invincible.

"There’s another problem, what if these people can’t be rescued?"

Gu Qingqiu looked at Lin Baici: "What do you think?"

Lin Baici pondered, Alumnus Gu’s plan was safest, but Xia Hongyao’s plan might save a few more people, though if it fails, it would cost their own side.

[Even if these people are cleared of pollution and rescued, they would be mentally deranged, leaving symptoms of gluttony and lethargy.]

[Death, for them, is a relief!]

Eater God commented.

Lin Baici took a deep breath and made a decision: "Follow Qingqiu’s plan!"

Xia Hongyao no longer objected and began to slaughter the Pig-Headed Men.

"However, if the Pig-Headed Men don’t actively attack us, we won’t kill them!"

Lin Baici added another sentence.

These Pig-Headed Men emitted a nauseating odor, drooling thickly, soaking the front of their clothes with layers of fat overlapping like several swimming rings.

This fat gave them high defense, but against Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, it was futile.

The two of them not only had high combat power, but their weapons were also very sharp.

Yi Jisheng was also quite capable.

As the arrowhead, he killed his way up, leaving behind the torn limbs of Pig-Headed Men wherever he passed.

"Red Medicine, Alumnus, both of you go up front to assist Yi Jisheng, I and Xuyue will cover the rear!"

Gu Qingqiu instructed.

"Can you handle it?"

Xia Hongyao worried about Gu Qingqiu getting into trouble.

"I’m not that weak!"

Gu Qingqiu smiled faintly: "Remember, I’m also a member of the team, I have tasks I’m responsible for!"

When the team reached the 12th floor, a Pig-Headed Man stealthily lurked over and launched an assault from the rear.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Ai Xuyue had just shouted, preparing to hold off the Pig-Headed Man, only to see the Pig-Headed Man’s head suddenly fall like an autumn-ripe apple from its neck, rolling down the stairs.

Ai Xuyue dared not lower her guard and continued to attack.

"No need, it’s already dead!"

Gu Qingqiu twirled his blade.

It was the Red Demon, always invisible, guarding the rear.

The closer they got to the 17th floor, the stronger the stench, even with gas masks, they couldn’t stand the smell.

"I feel like I’m soaking in a septic tank!"

Ai Xuyue felt that with a little more time, she might be marinated by the stench entirely.

[It’s not the 17th floor, but 1802.]

Eater God commented.

"Yi Jisheng, straight to the 18th floor!"

They were all allies, and saving people was critical, so Lin Baici gave direct orders.

Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow, watching Ai Xuyue’s expression for a moment.

This kid Lin Baici definitely has some secret.

Oh!

So curious!
