I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"Hmm? What's that smell? It smells so good!" As they walked, Chi Xinru suddenly twitched her nose and muttered to herself in confusion.

Qin Zhong was so focused on the movements around him that even though Chi Xinru's voice was as soft as a mosquito, he still heard it immediately and couldn't help but twitch his nose.

Sure enough, just as Chi Xinru said, there was indeed a faint fragrance in the air, which seemed somewhat familiar?

Oh, right, Qin Zhong remembered this smell. Wasn't it the same smell he smelled near the villa by the lake? How could he smell it here too?

Although he was a little confused, he didn't think much about it at this time and continued to concentrate on following the group of people in front of him.

Although it was pitch black outside, it did not pose any obstacle to Qin Zhong. Perhaps it was because his evolution had enhanced his physique, making him much stronger than normal people.

Even though it was pitch black outside, he could vaguely see everything around him.

In the dark night, several people in front were staggering and swaying as they moved forward in a straight line. Qin Zhong could see that this road was vaguely the same road that Xiao Yingyong had walked during the day.

Several fluorescent mutant insects were flying in the air like will-o'-the-wisp, and bursts of commotion could be heard from the grass from time to time.

Qin Zhong originally wanted to ask Qin Da to clean up the surroundings, but soon, he asked Qin Da to stop, because he found that although there was constant commotion in the surrounding grass, there was no mutant beast or zombie to attack this group of people.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhong frowned even more tightly. It seemed that these controlled people had some invisible marks or smells on their bodies, which made these mutant beasts or zombies dare not approach.

In this way, Qin Zhong followed the group forward, perhaps for more than ten minutes, perhaps half an hour, until they reached the place where Qin Zhong had discovered Xiao Yingyong during the day, but they still did not stop and continued to move forward.

At this moment, Chi Xinru, who was following behind Qin Zhong, suddenly pulled Qin Zhong's clothes, catching him off guard and scaring him.

Qin Zhong looked at Chi Xinru with confusion, but saw that she covered her mouth tightly with one hand, her face full of fear, and pointed in one direction with the other hand trembling, as if she saw something particularly terrifying.

In surprise, Qin Zhong looked in the direction she pointed, his face changed, and he gripped the Tang sword in his hand even tighter.

I saw a faint figure suddenly appearing in the grass in the distance. The figure seemed to be a woman.

She was wearing a dress and had long black hair. Her figure was somewhat transparent, as if she had no weight at all, floating in the grass. Qin Zhong could clearly see that the woman's feet were not touching the ground at all, as if she was flying.

"ghost?!"

Qin Zhong's scalp went numb, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind. A chill rose from his tailbone and spread throughout his body in an instant, and his aura emanated involuntarily.

At this moment, the figure seemed to sense Qin Zhong and suddenly turned his head. There was a strange beauty on his transparent and gloomy delicate face.

The next moment, she gave Qin Zhong a strange smile. There was an indescribable hideousness in her smile, which made Qin Zhong feel a chill in his heart.

But before Qin Zhong could make any further move, he saw the figure suddenly appear and then disappear as suddenly as before.

Qin Zhong's heart trembled. He protected Chi Xinru and looked around, but he couldn't find her. It seemed that she had disappeared out of thin air.

"Just...just now, what...what was that?" Chi Xinru was so frightened by the figure just now that she trembled as she spoke.

Qin Zhong's face was extremely solemn. He had always been an atheist, but the scene before him was indeed beyond his comprehension. He also deeply felt that the current world was really incomprehensible to him.

It seems like all kinds of monsters have come out!

……

"Are there really ghosts in this world? Or is this the ability of some evolved being?"

Although Qin Zhong was also a little panicked, he immediately used his super power of emotional control to clear away his panic and regain his rationality.

He stood there, silently watching the group of people who were still moving forward, thinking to himself: "I don't know what that thing is, but it might be the culprit that caused the disappearance of all the survivors in this community!"

"No matter what it is! Follow it, we'll meet it eventually. No matter how powerful it is, can it be more powerful than a dragon?"

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong's will became firm again. Seeing that the people ahead were gradually walking away, he gritted his teeth, looked at Chi Xinru and whispered, "It may be very dangerous ahead. I may even die. Do you still want to continue following?"

Although Chi Xinru was terrified, she gritted her teeth and said, "This place is so weird. If you die, I will die too. In this case, we must die together!"

Qin Zhong's brows relaxed, he patted Chi Xinru's small hands that were tightly holding onto his clothes, and said with a smile: "It's not that easy to kill me! Just follow me!"

After instructing Chi Xinru, Qin Zhong used his consciousness to communicate with Qin Da, asking him to pay more attention to the surrounding movements, and then continued to follow.

The further we walked, the thicker the grass became. Moreover, at some point, a mist rose from the grass, making the surroundings even more eerie and terrifying.

As they continued to move forward, they saw more and more ghost-like things like the ones just now, making Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru feel like they had entered a ghost realm.

Moreover, Qin Zhong discovered that these somewhat transparent ghost-like creatures, in addition to human forms, also had some animal forms.

These ghosts appeared around Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru from time to time, but no ghost came close to them. It seemed that there was something on his body that made these ghosts dare not approach him.

As he walked along, Qin Zhong discovered that some of the ghosts around him had solid bodies, as if they were real, while others were dim and lifeless, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

The rich fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger as Qin Zhong walked along.

Moreover, as Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru approached cautiously step by step, Qin Zhong felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar. He glanced left and right and found that they had walked to the vicinity of the villa that he had previously found a little strange.

Qin Zhong couldn't help but frown when he found himself here. He had already noticed this before based on the fragrance, and he had only smelled this scent in this villa.

What exactly is this breath?

Just as Qin Zhong was thinking hard, as if he had a sense of something, he suddenly looked towards the locust tree that covered the villa.

The huge locust tree stood motionless in the darkness. Only then did he notice that compared with the other trees in the community, this tree was incredibly huge, almost two or three times the size of the other trees.

Even in the end times, such a growth rate is obviously abnormal. Moreover, Qin Zhong has confirmed that the faint fragrance in the air is coming from this locust tree.

Qin Zhong stood where he was and carefully examined the locust tree. He found that there seemed to be no mutant beasts or zombies around. Everything seemed quiet. Even the common sounds of insects disappeared. It was too quiet.
