A scream made Big Mouth's hands tremble, almost toppling the candle he was holding.
But even though the candle didn't fall, the wax flew out and dripped onto Big Mouth's arm.
Ah!
Big Mouth whimpered softly.
Xie Liuhai didn't care about him, instead, he paced quickly towards where the scream had co from.
The scream just now was from soone who had co out with them.
There must be a problem; otherwise, they wouldn't be shouting like that.
What exactly happened? Was it a Zombie, or...
Xie Liuhai's mind imdiately conjured images of horror movies he had watched before the apocalypse, and he shook his head.
How could it be.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
But his legs were still trembling.
Holding the flashlight, he reached another room in a few strides.
These three people also had flashlights. They were shining their flashlights inside this room.
From Xie Liuhai's perspective, he saw three people with their backs towards them, staring straight ahead.
But he couldn't see what they were looking at because these three people completely blocked Xie Liuhai's view.
Xie Liuhai breathed a sigh of relief.
No Zombies, no ghosts.
"What the hell are you screaming for, scared the hell out of ." Xie Liuhai walked forward and approached them.
He patted one of the person's shoulders and said: "I'm talking to you guys, why aren't you responding, what are you all looking so intently at?"
His line of sight gradually shifted to where they were looking.
...
In this room, by the bed, there was another grave.
A small one. No tombstone, just a small mound of earth.
There was a photo placed on it.
A little girl, smiling happily.
But, if it were just that, it wouldn't be so frightening.
What was terrifying was that the little girl was dressed in white, and that white clothing seed to be made from the sa white fabric seen earlier in the house.
It looked extrely eerie.
Moreover, around the girl's neck, there was a long rope.
Her eyes were bulging.
Staring wide-eyed with a smile, as if fixated on them.
As though, the little girl could walk out of the photo album.
Hiss!
Xie Liuhai's scalp went numb instantly, his body started trembling involuntarily.
"This.... WTF." Xie Liuhai blurted out this phrase.
The n next to him seed to finally react.
Suddenly, they rushed out of the room in a panic. By the ti Xie Liuhai realized what was happening, he found himself alone.
Coincidentally, at this mont, his flashlight also ran out of power.
Xie Liuhai deeply engraved the image of the little girl from the photo in his mind.
At this ti in the night, he felt a force approaching him.
Damn!
Xie Liuhai hurried out of the room. "Why the hell didn't you guys say anything when you left?"
Xie Liuhai shouted angrily.
Two candles were lit, finally illuminating the space.
Everyone gathered together, feeling terrified from what they had just seen.
Big Mouth hadn't seen it, but listening to their description, he also felt so fear when he looked in the direction of that room.
Awoo...
From sowhere, a howl of a wolf was heard.
With the apocalypse, many animals in nature were proliferating.
But, often, many also died at the hands of Zombies.
"Big Mouth, go close the door," Xie Liuhai said.
"Let's go together," Xie Liuhai said, seeing the frightened look on Da Mouth's face.
Everyone walked towards the main door. The tiled house had its windows sealed with wood, leaving only small cracks.
Da Mouth closed the main door, slid the bolt into place, and then found a carrying pole to secure behind the door.
"Hai brother, what we just saw was really bizarre. Have you ever seen soone build a tomb in their yard, and inside their room?" one man said.
"Do you think soone could be playing tricks on us?" another man said.
"That's probably impossible. We've seen inside this house, the dust is so thick. If soone were living here, it wouldn't be this dusty," Xie Liuhai stated.
"So, what exactly is going on? What do we do now?" another man asked.
"Let's just stay put for now; it might be even more dangerous outside," Xie Liuhai said.
"Right. Should we check the remaining rooms?" another man asked.
"Let's take a look," Xie Liuhai said as he walked to another room, passing by the room with the tomb, and gently closed its door.
They checked another room, and it was normal—everything seed fine.
Apart from the initial room that Xie Liuhai and Da Mouth checked, and the room where the tomb was just discovered, including the room they just inspected, only the last room remained.
This room was locked.
But not completely; it was just latched.
Xie Liuhai glanced at his companions and then took a deep breath.
He opened the door to the room.
The mont it opened, light shone into the room.
What they saw were bones scattered on the floor!
White bones reflecting a pristine glow under the candlelight!
These bones were clearly human bones.
Everyone felt the shock, their faces filled with horror.
They continued to look inside.
Roar~
Suddenly, a faint zombie growl caught their attention.
They directed their gaze towards the back of the room.
They saw a small zombie with its waist chained to a large cabinet.
It was gnashing its teeth and growling at them.
The large cabinet, rattling with the growls of the small zombie, was shaking slightly, moving forward.
This small zombie seed quite strong, but seeing the bones scattered on the floor, Xie Liuhai and the others could guess what was going on.
A zombie that hasn't fed for a long ti has significantly reduced mobility.
This small zombie seed to have had a good supply of food.
Food supply?
What do zombies eat?
Humans.
Damn.
Everyone suddenly realized this and felt a chill run down their spines.
"This... this zombie, isn't it that little girl from the other room?" one man exclaid, suddenly realizing.
The others looked closely, indeed.
But the difference was that this little girl was now wearing a red dress, not the white clothes from before.
Also, the marks on her neck were still very visible.
What exactly is happening here?
Everyone felt very uneasy.
Xie Liuhai looked at the small zombie in front of him, feeling determined.
I'm not new to killing zombies; what's to fear about this small one?
Just kill it and be done with it.
With that thought, he slowly walked forward, drawing his Long Knife from its sheath.
He was just about to strike.
Bang!
A scream ca from behind.
It was Da Mouth's voice.
