Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 212 - Five

Time passed slowly. As Zhou Chen returned to the bus, the evil entities outside also returned and chased the bus, trying to fool the passengers into opening the door for them.

However, due to Zhou Chen’s existence, these thoughts were impossible to realize.

Zhou Chen had high resistance to the illusions. He also had the loyal helper, Little Red, and had complete control over the passengers on the bus. Therefore, as long as he was there, no passenger had the chance to open the windows or the door. The moment they fell into an illusion, they would be noticed by Zhou Chen and would be knocked unconscious by Little Red if necessary.

Two hours went by as the evil entities outside the bus kept trying to enter, but they still made no progress.

After another hour passed, the evil entities outside the bus seemed to be discouraged. They gradually left, and there were fewer evil entities chasing the bus. When the bus neared the Bizarre Town, all the evil entities ran away, making Zhou Chen feel a little regretful.

“Why did everyone run away all at once? At least leave one by one…”

Zhou Chen had been thinking of hunting the evil entities once there were fewer of them, but these evil entities seemed to have guessed his intention as they all ran away at once.

At this moment, the bus had already driven out of the desolate hilly range and arrived at a place that looked like an abandoned town. The buildings here were dilapidated, and there was no one as far as the eye could see. It was the Bizarre Town that the female voice in the bus had mentioned.

“We’ve arrived at the Bizarre Town. Passengers, please alight.”

Hearing the announcement, Zhou Chen’s attention was quickly attracted to the five strange people at the station more than ten meters in front of the bus. He immediately began to carefully scan them.

“Although they look a little strange, they are all humans…” He sensed that the people waiting for the bus were real humans, but their appearance was strange, as if they had a strange illness or a special hobby.

After he finished making the judgment, the bus quickly slowed down and stopped at the stop ahead. It opened the door.

The five people waiting outside boarded the bus one after another.

The first to get on the bus was a middle-aged man with blood-red eyes. He was tall and thin, and his face looked sinister. Combined with his clearly abnormal eyes, he looked more like a ghost.

The second person to get on the bus was also a man, but he was young. He looked ordinary and had no special characteristics, but his left hand was more than twice the size of an ordinary person’s. It was in the form of a black claw that was especially conspicuous outside his sleeve.

The third person to get on the bus was an old woman. She looked the most normal among the five, but her skin was slightly pale, like a wandering soul.

The next to get on the bus was a short man wearing a mask. Wearing a mask was not strange, but the surface of his mask kept squirming and blood seeped out, as if there were blood worms wiggling inside. It was quite disgusting.

The last person to board the bus was probably a woman. This was the one with the most strange appearance. Her entire body, including her face, was covered by her long black hair. Only the two pale hands that were extended showed that she was a person and not a strange model made of hair.

“WTF!”

“Ghost! There is a ghost here!”

…

As the five strange people got on the bus, the residents in the bus immediately cried out in surprise. Many people thought that evil entities had boarded the bus and screamed in fear. Some even wanted to open the window and escape.

Zhou Chen did not care about the passengers’ reactions. He had already determined that there were no evil entities around. Whether they escaped or not was no longer his business.

However, before the passengers in the bus could jump off the bus, the five strange people who had just entered reacted. The first person to enter, the tall and thin man with the blood-red eyes, scanned the people in the bus and shouted,

“Who was the one who said we were ghosts? Show yourself.”

His voice was not loud, but with his cold demeanor and his blood-red eyes that looked like a ghost’s, he sounded quite intimidating. It immediately made the noisy passengers shut their mouths. Some of the timid passengers even covered their mouths while shivering.

“Hmph! A bunch of trash!” Seeing the terrified expressions of the passengers, the sinister-looking man sneered in disdain and sat in an empty seat to the side.

However, just as he took a step, a young man sitting near the bus door stood up.

“Who did you scold?”

It was Zhou Chen. He felt like the man had targeted everyone in the bus with his words, including him.

The sinister-looking man immediately stopped and slowly turned around to look at him with his scary eyes.

“I’m talking about you Blood Letter Apartment trash? Do you have a problem with that?” A cold smile appeared on his face. He clearly did not care about Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was delighted. “Hehe, this is the first time I’ve encountered someone as pretentious as you. Then let me see who is trash today.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen’s figure flashed and instantly approached the man. He slapped him, sending him crashing into the back of the bus.

“That’s it? So weak. You could not even block a casual attack of mine? However, your body’s toughness is higher than an ordinary person’s.” Zhou Chen did not use much strength in this slap. It was just a test. In the end, this sinister-looking man was sent flying by his strike and almost fainted.

“You…” The sinister-looking man quickly rolled from the back and stood up. Half of his face was swollen as he glared at Zhou Chen with his blood-red eyes, but no words came out of his mouth.

“You what? You want me to give you another slap?” Zhou Chen felt a little bored. If this person was a little more rash, he could continue to attack, but it was not good to bully him like this.

At the same time, he was also carefully sensing the reactions of the other four strange people to prevent any surprise attacks.

Unfortunately, the other four watched without any intention of helping. They did not even say a word.

“The bus is about to set off. Passengers, please take a seat. The next stop is the Bizarre Village.”

The mechanical voice sounded again and the door closed.

This small episode was like a hot knife cutting into butter, cutting off everyone’s focus. The passengers closed the windows and sat down. The sinister man and the other four strange people also got a way out from the awkward situation. They found empty seats and sat down.

‘That’s it? He’s quite tolerant.’

Seeing the sinister-looking man calm down and walk to a seat, Zhou Chen knew that nothing more was going to happen. He returned to the seat where he had sat at the beginning.

He wanted to ask the yellow-haired woman about something.

“Miss, do you know anything about those five strange people?”

Zhou Chen was a little interested in the five of them, but he had just had a conflict with them, so it would be hard for him to communicate with them. He asked the yellow-haired woman because he felt that she had a lot of experience and knowledge.

In fact, when the bus was being chased by the evil entities, he had realized how extraordinary this yellow-haired woman was. She was sitting by the window, and there were evil entities constantly trying to bewitch her from outside the window. There were even more than one, but she remained motionless.

“I know a little.” A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed across the yellow-haired woman’s eyes when she saw Zhou Chen. “If I’m not wrong, they should be from the Hell Theater, because only the people there can obtain the evilification reward.”

“Evilification? You mean the changes in their bodies?” Zhou Chen asked again.

“Yes.” The woman nodded. “The people in each of our places have different characteristics. Those of us in the Terror Train can obtain some reward points after completing the mission issued by the train. The people in the Hell Theater obtain evilification rewards. These rewards can help us increase our survival rate when facing evil entities.”

“Little Li, what is the reward for our Blood Letter Apartment?”

Zhou Chen felt strange when he heard this. He had also completed a mission for the Blood Letter Apartment, but the apartment did not even give him a strand of hair.

“This… Brother Zhou, there is no reward for completing missions in our apartment.” Little Li sitting on the other side of Zhou Chen replied speechlessly.

“No rewards? He Jin, you should have completed five missions, right? You haven’t obtained any rewards?” Zhou Chen felt that this might be because he had completed just one mission, so he asked He Jin, who was sitting a little further away.

“No, Brother Zhou.” He Jin looked at Zhou Chen and revealed a slightly embarrassed smile.

“There is no reward for completing a mission in our Blood Letter Apartment, but it is said that as long as we finish ten missions, we can return to our normal lives.” He Jin felt that this was probably their only advantage.

“Yes.” A faint smile appeared on the yellow-haired woman’s face. “Although there is no reward for completing the mission in your Blood Letter Apartment, the condition to return to normal life is the lowest. You only need to complete ten missions. For example, our Terror Train needs to gather ten thousand points. If you don’t have enough points, you won’t be able to return no matter how many missions you complete.”

“What about the Hell Theater?” Zhou Chen asked in doubt.

The yellow-haired woman stroked her hair. “I heard that they need to meet certain conditions to challenge the final show. If they pass, they can return to the world.”

“Hmm… it doesn’t sound particularly difficult.” Zhou Chen rubbed his chin. “It feels like I’ve entered the most miserly place. If possible, I would prefer to go to the Terror Train you’re on.”

“This… I can only say that there are pros and cons.” The yellow-haired woman was speechless.

“Your blood apartment is indeed miserly, but as long as you can survive, your bodies will remain in a pure human form. It will be very convenient for you to return to the normal world in the future. But it’s not necessarily the case for our Terror Train. I look normal, but in fact, there are many hidden injuries from the tools I used. We all have unfortunate people, so let’s not compare. It’s more important to complete the mission.”

She then stared at Zhou Chen, “Speaking of which, you don’t seem to be an ordinary person. Can you tell me about your experience?”

Seeing the woman change the topic to him, Zhou Chen knew that he had to say something.

“I came from a martial arts family. My ancestors had fate with some immortal sects, so I am slightly stronger than ordinary people. It’s normal to know some special methods, after all I have been nurtured by my clan since young.”

Zhou Chen casually made up a story.

“I see…” The yellow-haired woman nodded calmly. It was unknown if she believed him or not.

“Then when we reach the Bizarre Village, if the situation permits, please help us, Brother Zhou.”

“Alright, if you encounter any evil entities, direct them to me, especially those corporeal evil entities. I won’t refuse any of them.” Zhou Chen had no reason to refuse.

He already understood that most of the evil entities could not defeat him in a one-on-one battle. Even if he had not encountered any particularly powerful evil entities, he was not afraid. This was because as a martial artist, he had to have a fearless heart. If he had a fearful heart, his martial dao would be broken.

The few of them chatted for a while more before the bus passed through this deserted and dilapidated town and entered the desolate hilly range again.

The journey across the hilly path was not short. It took more than two hours.

During this period, there were no more evil entities chasing after the bus. It was rather peaceful.

At a certain moment, it stopped on a winding path outside a bleak village.

“We have arrived at the Bizarre Village. Passengers, please alight.”

As the mechanical female voice sounded in the bus, the door opened. Everyone in the bus began to walk out of the door and head to the village.

No one stayed in the bus, and no one dared to escape because the people here had long understood that if they did not follow the mission instructions, they would only die faster. Doing the mission honestly would instead give them some chances to survive.

“Bizarre Village… there should be many evil entities, right?” Zhou Chen walked in the front. He had no fear of monsters and only wanted to kill the evil entities.

Behind him were He Jin, Little Li, and the yellow-haired woman. They had decided to follow Zhou Chen.

Further behind were Uncle Wang and a large group of apartment residents. These residents actually did not want to become the first to enter the village, but they knew who their reliance was. Since their reliance ran fast, they could only follow.

At the back of the crowd were the five people from the Hell Theater.

The five of them walked very slowly behind the apartment residents.

“Hehe, a bunch of fools looking for death. They’re following that boorish man to the afterlife.” Among the five, the tall and thin blood-eyed man laughed softly.

“Blood Eye, stop pretending. If he was just a boor, would you have endured until now without making a move?” Beside the tall and thin man, the short man wearing a squirming mask made a faint sound.

“In the bus, he was clearly immune to your Blood Eye evil technique. He’s definitely not as simple as an ordinary boor..”
