Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Thick dark clouds covered the sky, making the day as dark as evening, and the rain that had been accumulating for a long time finally fell.

On the last stretch of the journey, the "old man" slipped due to fatigue and the rain blurring his vision through his goggles, and was about to fall off the cliff.

"Be careful!!" A hand grabbed the "old man" soldier's arm and pulled him back with force.

The "old" soldier, horrified by the force, hugged the "new" soldier with his backhand.

"Thank you! Thank you! It's so scary. It's really thanks to you..." The "old man" mumbled some words of thanks, but the moment he looked up, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he lost the ability to express himself in words.

"What's wrong?" The "newcomer" helped the "old man" steady himself, then stepped back a few steps to create some distance. The pouring rain instantly obscured his figure, blurring it to the point where it seemed as if they weren't in the same spatial plane.

The "old" soldier slowly stepped back and separated himself from the "newcomer" who was supporting him. After protecting his eyes, his pupils shrank to the size of needles out of fear.

“You…you…

What the hell are you?! "The old man questioned the new soldier who had been with him all the way with a trembling voice.

"...Brother, what's wrong with you?" The "newcomer" was silent for a while before speaking. His voice became a little ethereal through the rain.

It was hard to tell whether it was because of the heavy rain or because of fear, but when the sound reached the "old man's" ears, it even carried an accent and a subtle sound like an electric burst.

Under the heavy rain, it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.

The old man swallowed hard, not caring if there was any sand in his mouth. He wanted to turn and run, but his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.

“…Brother, you…”

"Don't call me!" The "old man" said with a hint of tears in his voice. "I can call you big brother or ancestor.

Please don't hurt me!

Whatever you want to do, I won’t tell anyone!"

"...So, what did you see?" The "newcomer" soldier's voice suddenly became clear again, and his emotion was as if he was speaking into the "old man" soldier's ear.

“I didn’t see anything!!!”

……

"Hey! So what did that 'old man' see?" the burly man asked while eating melon seeds.

"I don't know!" Max shook his head and said, "I heard from people in their camp that the 'old man' shouted this sentence loudly and then fainted.

When everyone noticed him, he was lying on the ground alone, with no one else around him.

If the instructor hadn't counted the number of people, we would have noticed that there was one person missing compared to when we first arrived.

The logistics department also found a set of equipment covered in mud in a corner of a warehouse.

Everyone would probably think that the soldier had a fever and was hysterical because he had been caught in the rain for a long time."

"Wow..., it makes my hair stand on end." The thin man spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and rubbed his arms.

"But I actually heard a really good piece of gossip. If you guys want to hear it..." Max stretched out his hands and said in a mean way, "Then give me all your sunflower seeds and I'll tell you!"

"Say it or not!" Gray rolled his eyes at Max while cracking melon seeds and said rudely. "If you want to eat, why don't you crack them yourself?"

"If you don't want to listen, just leave now! Who stopped you?!" Max glared at him angrily when he heard what Gray said and wanted to drive him away.

"Oh~ I won't leave. You'll be mad to death." Grace crossed his legs, swung his big tail and laughed triumphantly.

"you!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." The white-haired man in the hat took out a handful of dried meat from his pocket and said to Max in a smoothing manner, "Ignore him. I have some dried meat here for you. Come on, tell me! I really want to hear it."

"Sure, bro! You even hid some dried meat!" Max happily took it.

"Jerky?! Godfather!! Give me some! Give me some!" When the skinny soldier heard that there was something delicious, he immediately hugged the white-haired man's thigh.

"...Here you go, here you go. All of it." Even though the hat covered half of his face, one could still sense the white-haired man's helplessness. "I still have some left. Share it with everyone. No need for such a big gift."

"Thank you, foster father!"

"Thank you, foster father!"

"Thank you, foster father!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even the most arrogant wolf-man Gray happily shouted "godfather".

"...Alright. You unfilial sons." The white-haired man's cold voice was full of helplessness.

"Max, why don't you go on and tell your godfather what you heard?" While chewing the spicy dried meat, Gray urged Max in the name of "godfather".

“I heard (chew chew chew)…

The reason why the "old man" was so terrified was that when he was pulled back, (chew chew chew) he looked up and saw that the skin on the face of the "newcomer" soldier had been washed by the rain and had completely fallen off!

I was scared half to death! " Max finally stopped keeping the secret and told the whole story in one breath, holding the dried meat in his mouth.

"...Did that 'old man' soldier tell you this news himself?" the white-haired man pressed his temples, his voice sounding a little weak as he pressed on.

"Probably not, I just heard it from others.

Gossip, of course, becomes increasingly distorted the more it spreads. Besides, the "old man" hasn't returned yet, so no one knows what he saw. Max swallowed the jerky, licked his lips, and stood up nonchalantly, patting his pants and stretching.

"Okay, that's all the gossip for today. Roll call will be held soon. Everyone, go away!"

I'll let you know when I get the latest version."

"Time flies so fast. I feel like I haven't had enough rest yet. Let's go." The burly soldier stretched his arms and followed a few people out of the small storage room.

But after walking a few steps, he realized that someone seemed to be missing. He turned around, scratching his head, and shouted towards the utility room: "Brother, aren't you leaving?"

"Who are you talking to?" Gray, who was walking in front of him, turned around and asked.

"And the foster father who shared the delicious dried meat with us? He didn't come out.

"Oh, he's one of your friends, how come I haven't seen him before?" The burly soldier suddenly remembered and asked casually.

The remaining three people were all stunned.

"Not me!" x3

"Who's that?!" x4

After several people denied it in unison, the entire corridor fell into a suffocating silence.

“Ghost!!!!!!”
