After entering the second floor, the temperature in the entire space seed to drop by several degrees all at once.
Fang Zhou’s description of this hall was clearly not detailed enough… this place was practically a slaughterhouse.
“Ugh!” Xu Shuhan had just glanced inside when she couldn’t help but cover her nose with a grim expression.
Ling Mo’s reaction wasn’t as intense, but his expression also changed instantly.
“This place is…”
There were severed limbs everywhere on the floor and on the tables, and even half a corpse was hanging from the ceiling fan in the middle, its hollow eyes staring at them.
Yuwen Xuan took a few steps forward and said, “Could this be the kitchen or dining hall for those Zombies?”
Xia Na frowned and said, “Judging by how fresh these remains are, the most recent ones are from a few days ago, and the oldest might date back to the outbreak.”
If this place had been in use for such a long ti, then the corpses dumped here could probably be counted in the thousands.
Just thinking about how so many corpses were piled up in this hundred-square-ter space made Ling Mo and the others instantly feel a chill creeping up their necks.
Only Fang Zhou glanced at Xia Na upon hearing this… Freshness? What normal person would use that word to describe corpses? And after seeing such a bloody scene, how could she not react at all? Moreover, it wasn’t just Xia Na-when he glanced around, he was shocked to find that, except for Xu Shuhan, none of the won or even the children showed any discomfort.
“This is too strange…” Fang Zhou thought to himself.
But just then, Ling Mo’s voice suddenly ca from behind him: “Don’t you think sothing’s odd? There are only corpses here, but no figures. If the other side wanted to hunt us, they wouldn’t let us see this scene so quickly, would they?”
Black Silk bit her finger and said, “Maybe if we want to leave now, it’s already too late.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange expression flashed across her face. Imdiately after, Li Yalin also jerked her head to look downward.
“What happened?” Ling Mo was about to ask when he heard a familiar sound. Within seconds, the sound rapidly grew louder, surrounding the entire building like a tide. Just by listening, one might think so kind of insect was crawling all over the walls.
But whether it was insects or Zombies, neither was a good thing.
“Why did they suddenly appear!” Fang Zhou shouted, retreating a few steps. At that mont, Ling Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
“Listen carefully!” Ling Mo shouted.
Fang Zhou still hadn’t completely cald down, but Yuwen Xuan imdiately uncovered one ear.
After listening for a while, he suddenly said, “Sothing’s not right.”
“What’s not right?” Fang Zhou continued to shout.
“These Zombies keep scratching… but they’re not coming in,” Yuwen Xuan said.
“That’s right, what they’re doing actually confirms what I just said,” Ling Mo nodded.
But even knowing that these Zombies wouldn’t co in for now, no one felt relieved. This situation was just too bizarre…
How did they know Ling Mo’s group was discussing whether to leave? Combined with what Ling Mo had just said, everyone suddenly felt that even the corpses didn’t seem so peaceful anymore. In those dark, hollow eyes, it really felt like countless gazes were watching them…
“I feel…” Xia Na pondered for a mont, then said in a strange tone, “they have another purpose… to urge us.”
“Urge? Urge what?” Fang Zhou had just asked when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He slowly turned to glance at the “slaughterhouse” behind him, then turned back to et Ling Mo’s gaze.
Ling Mo said in a low voice, “…I think what they want to urge us to do is to keep going up.”
Yuwen Xuan shivered on the spot. The behavior of these Zombies was just too bizarre…
Although Ling Mo and Xia Na’s theory couldn’t be confird yet, no one wanted to wait for that mont of proof. But if they wanted to keep going up…
“We have to go through this hall…” Fang Zhou looked at the scattered limbs on the floor and couldn’t help but shudder. When this sanatorium was designed, they surely never imagined such a layout would seem so inhumane now. As for the elevator… just looking at the corpses everywhere, it wasn’t hard to imagine what the elevator would look like inside.
“Let’s go, we shouldn’t test the patience of these Zombies,” Ling Mo said.
As he spoke, the scratching sounds from below did indeed grow louder.
Fang Zhou exchanged a pale look with Ling Mo, then gritted his teeth and took the lead.
At first, they could still find places to step, but the deeper they went, the more corpses there were on the floor.
And strangely, as soon as they started moving forward, the scratching sounds below stopped.
This, in turn, proved Ling Mo’s guess was correct, but no one was happy about it. The more this happened, the more it showed how difficult these things would be to deal with.
The most frustrated was Fang Zhou, who was leading the way. He didn’t say anything, but his expression made his feelings clear. If Ling Mo hadn’t insisted on getting involved, he wouldn’t be wading through piles of corpses now.
But when he happened to look back, he found that although Ling Mo’s face was a bit serious, he didn’t seem panicked. In other words, although the situation was bad, it was still under his control.
This left Fang Zhou a bit puzzled… With danger ahead and behind, how could he stay so calm?
But soon his attention returned to the surrounding corpses, because after reaching the center of the hall, the appearance of these corpses suddenly began to change.
Previously, it was mostly severed limbs and so bones mixed in, but overall there were no complete corpses. But here, the completeness of the corpses suddenly increased.
Fang Zhou glanced over these heads and suddenly noticed a pillar ahead.
Behind that pillar leaned a corpse, but the mont he looked over, the corpse suddenly shrank back!
“Ah!”
Fang Zhou couldn’t help but let out a low growl. The scene was just too unexpected, and he instinctively wanted to retreat, but didn’t notice the corpse behind him, instantly losing his balance.
After he fell, not only did his body land on corpses, but both hands pressed down on a corpse each. But before he could cry out further, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the ceiling fan above.
He glanced at it, then cried out, pointing at the fan: “Corp… corpse…”
“The corpse moved!” After Fang Zhou shouted, his forehead was already covered in sweat.
Ling Mo and the others imdiately looked up.
“Whoosh!”
A psychic tentacle shot out almost simultaneously, lashing toward the corpse’s head.
“It really is a corpse,” Ling Mo said imdiately.
Since it’s a dead thing, it definitely can’t move!
Ling Mo instantly thought of that assassin in Fang Zhou’s team… but the sa Superpower couldn’t possibly appear here. Besides, these corpses were mostly in halves-even if they could be controlled, they wouldn’t be of much use.
Yuwen Xuan and the others thought of this almost imdiately, but quickly dismissed the idea.
Ling Mo stared at the corpse for a couple of seconds, then his gaze shifted to the ceiling fan it was hanging from: “No! It’s not the corpse that’s moving, it’s the ceiling fan! There’s sothing here!”
At his shout, Yuwen Xuan and the others imdiately beca more alert and quickly retreated to his side. If there really was a Monster here, one thing was certain… its speed must be off the charts!
Fang Zhou was stunned for a mont, but soon thought of the corpse that had suddenly disappeared behind the pillar. Thinking about it now… maybe that wasn’t a corpse at all!
“No…” Fang Zhou’s panic grew even worse, and he hurriedly tried to get up. But just as he was getting up, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Feeling that faint weight, Fang Zhou instantly froze.
His eyeballs slowly turned, inching toward his shoulder.
It was a hand with abnormally long nails, covered in fresh blood… As it landed on his shoulder, thin streams of blood trickled down its palm, slowly soaking through Fang Zhou’s clothes…
