Chapter 1904: An Extra Person

Didn’t a boulder block the path behind them?

As Feng Tong had vanished so silently, everybody felt the chills as they looked at the pitch dark corridor they had passed through.

“Pay attention, everybody!” The head mentor declared gravely.

He felt extremely frustrated.

They hadn’t encountered many zombies after entering the mountain, nor had they even reached the zombie base, yet his academy had already lost two students. It was truly a headache.

“M-Men-Mentor, what should we do now?” Wang Haizhi felt his hairs standing on end.

Feng Tong was still following behind him just now, yet he had actually vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

“Continue walking forward!” The mentor from Sunlight Academy looked back at the glows of light from the night luminous pearls and hastily said, “It’s not the time to be mulling over this. We have to catch up quickly.”

“Let’s go!”

Wang Haizhi gulped his saliva and glanced behind him again.

That pitch dark corridor was still and silent. They couldn’t see the end of it, and the darkness was like a huge phantasmic beast that was opening its mouth to await its delicious meal.

Wang Haizhi gave a shudder and quickly caught up to the procession.

This long and narrow corridor seemed to stretch on for a long time. They had walked for nearly two hours, yet they still hadn’t reached the end of it.

After walking for another 15 minutes, Wang Haizhi could hear the indistinct sound of breathing behind him.

The breathing was heavy and mixed in with some pants, like a sluggish donkey pulling along a cart with leaden footsteps.

Wang Haizhi quickly strode forward, his face practically green from terror.

Since Feng Tong had vanished behind him earlier, he had become the last person in the procession. So who was breathing heavily behind him right now?

Wang Haizhi felt as if his neck had stiffened to the point that it was like a wheel that had gone into disrepair. He could even hear the cracking sounds his neck produced from moving it.

He carefully peered behind him, after which Wang Haizhi let out a blood-curdling scream.

The procession stopped.

There were sixty to seventy people altogether in this snaking procession.

Because Qiao Mu and them were walking at the very front, they were momentarily unaware of the reason for that horrific scream in the back.

“What happened.” Mentor Zhou turned toward the back of the procession in concern.

The head mentor of Honghui Academy, which was following after Apex Academy, quickly walked up and suggested, “This is Mentor Zhou, correct? Do you want to stop for a short rest for now and send someone to the back to check it out?”

After walking for so long in this dark corridor, the students’ conditions weren’t too good.

Upon hearing this, Mentor Zhou looked back at the students behind him.

Under the glow from the night luminous pearls, even though Lu Yu and them did not look great, their faces were’t as drained of color as the students from the other academies.

“Might as well. Let’s rest in place for 10 minutes.” Mentor Zhou gave a nod.

After all, they had been fleeing for their lives ever since the start of the monstrous fish attack. They had practically been unable to catch their breath.

The head mentor of Honghui Academy nodded gratefully at Mentor Zhou before turning around to give instructions. “Pass the word down that we’ll be resting in place for 10 minutes. Everybody take advantage of this time to recover your strength and mystic energy. Don’t let your imaginations go wild.”

Everybody nodded at his words.
