Nightmare Desperate Situation

Chapter 1 Safe...for now

Lightning outside the house tore through the darkness.

Boom!

Taking advantage of the thunder, Zhou Kai pushed open the cabinet door, being careful not to let the rotten wood make a creaking sound.

He walked out.

This medieval-style wooden house is completely dilapidated.

The roof collapsed, forming a huge gap.

The cold rain mixed with the fishy smell was carried by the strong wind and hit Zhou Kai's pale face hard.

He didn't wipe it.

The rain will not stop.

It's no use even if I wipe it.

The corner of my eye swept across the wall clock that was still running.

"...Coming in again." He thought to himself.

Boom!

Continuous thunder exploded again. Outside the dirty glass window, a twisted black shadow flashed past.

Taking advantage of the roar, Zhou Kai took a deep breath and rushed towards the back room.

Lean over.

Roll.

A set of movements, flowing smoothly. He lay on his back, staring at the rotten bottom of the bed above him.

"Four, three, two, one..."

The moment the countdown in my heart ended, a loud noise came from the outer room.

The door panel was smashed by something.

The wind is louder.

The rain sounded louder.

But what really made his heart stop was the heavy, wet footsteps mixed in with the sound of wind and rain.

Something is coming in!

Tap...tap...

Tap...tap...

The unknown existence was pacing slowly in the living room.

Suddenly.

Boom! ! !

The wardrobe where Zhou Kai was hiding earlier was smashed to pieces by a chain hammer dragged from the wind and rain.

The sawdust exploded.

Countless debris scattered everywhere.

Zhou Kai's pupils shrank suddenly and he didn't dare to take a breath.

If he is still in the cabinet...

He will die!

Dead into a blur of flesh and blood.

This is not speculation.

It has happened several times, memory!

Zhou Kai remained motionless, forcibly suppressing his breathing and heartbeat.

He is waiting.

Outside, the figure dragging the hammer was still pacing, as if looking for something.

After a few breaths, it squeezed open the bedroom door frame and walked in.

The cold wind instantly filled the entire room.

A pair of huge feet stopped beside the bed.

Without shoes, he was *** and blue-purple, like a floating corpse.

When the lightning flashed again, Zhou Kai could even see clearly the dark red blood on his toes with his peripheral vision.

Calm down...

Wait...

Amid the stench, Zhou Kai held his breath. Under the shroud of death, he forcibly calmed down his wildly beating heart.

No sound can be made.

Once discovered... it is death.

One minute passed.

Zhou Kai felt that his limbs had become stiff, and his back was stinging from the stones and nails on the ground.

"Are you leaving... this time..."

Last time, he was here, making a slight noise in order to shrink inward and adjust his posture.

Then.

A hammer fell.

He turned into a puddle of meat.

This time, he learned his lesson. After hiding under the bed, he didn't make any unnecessary noise.

However, it is still unknown whether he can survive.

"Every time you die in a nightmare, your body will become weaker in reality...I can't die anymore!"

Zhou Kai's peripheral vision was fixed on the shadow cast by those big feet, waiting for a turn.

Another two minutes passed.

There was a muffled sound of a tree trunk breaking from outside, and the Hammer Armor seemed to be attracted... The footsteps gradually became distant.

Until you can’t hear it anymore.

But Zhou Kai still didn't dare to move.

He must consider the possibility that the thing will come back again.

"Wait for the thunder."

Boom!

The thunder exploded just at the moment when his thoughts flashed across his mind.

Now!

He endured the severe pain, rolled out from under the bed, and stood up quickly.

Blood oozed from the punctured back, and dark red plum blossoms bloomed on the old white shirt.

No time for this.

Zhou Kai leaned against the window and listened.

The wind and rain are blowing, and the thunder is roaring.

Very good.

That monster is probably really gone.

He is finally safe...

For now.

……

Zhou Kai, a native of Xishan City, just graduated from university. My major is classics, which is not popular, and I have repeatedly encountered obstacles in finding a job.

For three months, I have relied on my sister Zhou Qing, who works in a well-known pharmaceutical company, for support. At his sister's suggestion, he signed up for a boxing gym, hoping to learn some fighting and get rid of his decadence.

It’s only been a day.

The nightmare came to him.

Starting from this Monday, he has entered this nightmare for four consecutive days.

Today is the first time that he has survived for more than five minutes.

Every time you die, your body becomes weaker in reality.

Based on the current situation, if he dies up to five more times, he will die with him in reality.

We must understand the situation!

Must live!

We must find a way out of the nightmare!

As long as the monsters are not around, wind and rain are the best cover.

Zhou Kai can finally start exploring.

The bedroom is still in that decadent European style.

On the heavy bed, there was a strange stain like something left after melting, soaking into the quilt.

Zhou Kai reached out and lifted it.

Wow.

The quilt was torn to pieces.

The fiber has completely rotted.

After a search, nothing was found in the bedroom except for decaying furniture and a few photos with completely unclear faces.

"There are photos, which at least confirm that the time setting here is after the 19th century."

Zhou Kai returned to the living room.

Nearly half of the living room collapsed, all of which were the "masterpieces" of the hammer warrior.

He will search on the intact half first.

There was a place that he had cared about from the beginning but never had the chance to check.

A corpse in the living room.

He looked from a distance and saw a pair of long boots sticking out from the short corridor connecting the kitchen and the living room.

Zhou Kai easily took down a decorative ax from the wall... The wooden handle was rotten and it was impossible to hold it.

But this does not trouble him.

He took off his shirt, twisted it into a strip of cloth, and tied it tightly to the axe.

A simple chain ax has taken shape.

Swing it, the wind howled.

The heavy metal texture gave him a sense of security.

Putting himself ready to strike at any time, Zhou Kai cautiously stepped into the corridor.

Then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"This guy... is dead."

The so-called "corpse" is actually a white skeleton wrapped in heavy clothes.

But this is a nightmare.

Zhou Kai still used the ax blade to crush Bai Gu’s head.

Just in case.

I took a look at the kitchen. There was no danger inside and it was extremely intact.

Zhou Kai dragged the bones in and began to explore.

The heavy clothes, like a hunting leather jacket and a thermal cotton jacket sewn together, were too rotten to wear and exuded a sticky stench.

The corpse should have been a hunter during his lifetime.

In the small pocket on the inside of the clothes, there is a leather bag.

There is a group photo and a badge inside.

The photo shows a man and two women, with letters written on the back: "Family, dear Louis, Meimei, and me."

"My nightmare... why is it in the West?"

Zhou Kai suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and checked another thing.

That badge.

It is made of brass with a green patina, and engraved on it is a god with open arms as if to protect his people.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Zhou Kai frowned.

The next moment, his expression suddenly froze.
