Everyone halted their steps, a particularly faint crying sound passed through the security door on the 37th floor and reached everyone’s ears.
It sounded like the cry of a human child.
Su Mo looked at Lu Chen in surprise, lowered her voice, and said, "I’m not mistaken, right? There are children here?"
The man looked toward the security door, his eyes filled with confusion as he spoke in a cold voice, "It shouldn’t be possible at this height unless they have been trapped here from the beginning."
"How long has it been since the apocalypse? If they were trapped here, they must have starved to death by now," Zhao Changsheng also said in a low voice.
"Save ..."
"Woo woo, is anyone there? Save ."
Just a few sentences into their discussion, the sound grew louder, hitting Su Mo’s soul with such a force that a wave of pity inexplicably rose in her heart.
Not just her, the conflicted look was also apparent on Zhao Changsheng’s face.
"What if... it really is a child?" she asked tentatively.
The atmosphere turned sowhat eerie, and even Li Qian couldn’t be sure as he simply said, "The feedback from the spiritual power confirms it’s a human."
Lu Chen furrowed his brows, walked over to the security door, and placed his hand on the handle, "If we’re not sure, let’s go in and check."
The door creaked open, and the inside was darker than expected. Only a small beam of light was visible when the flashlight shined inside.
A moldy sll rushed into their nostrils.
Unexpectedly, this floor was quite clean, but whether it was man-made or not, there were traces of blood dragged across the carpet, and the drag marks headed in different directions, each leading into different offices.
Honestly, it looked quite bizarre.
Su Mo was highly alert, pricking up her ears, and followed Li Qian’s directions to a tightly closed manager’s office door.
The voice stopped, and the room beca completely silent.
Li Qian signaled with his eyes again that it was behind this door; he moved aside, trying to open the door next to it, but unfortunately, it seed to be locked from the inside.
"Is there soone out there?" ca a girl’s sobbing voice, tinged with tremors and fear.
Su Mo and Lu Chen exchanged a glance and nodded.
She spoke out, "Yes, are you alone? Inside?"
"Woo woo, save , I’m so hungry, save my sister," the girl’s voice sounded a bit slurred, speaking in fits and starts as if there was cotton stuck in her throat.
Sensing deceit inside, Lu Chen did not imdiately turn the doorknob, while next to Su Mo, a flash of white light appeared, and a boy’s figure erged.
"Sister?"
Still in a state of confusion, Su Mo patted his head, "Help out, see if it’s your kind inside or a human."
"Hungry..." He looked up, having been inside for a while, he held his stomach giving off a sowhat pitiable air.
Su Mo quickly pulled out a piece of processed wild boar at, "Eat this for now, I hunted a black bear a couple of days ago, I’ll cook it for you when I have ti."
Yang Yichu was always easy to coax; after eating the at and feeling the warmth from Su Mo’s palm, his eyes behind black colored contact lenses turned toward the manager’s office door.
His original dopey appearance abruptly changed, his breath shifted, and he bared his sharp fangs, glaring fiercely at the door.
Perhaps it was the terrifying aura emanating from him, the original cries for help from inside quieted down.
This ti, everyone knew that the voice that had lured them here could not possibly be emitted by a human.
It could even deceive Li Qian’s spiritual power, proving that it was at least a Level 5 zombie.
Sounds of a chair falling and sothing jumping onto the table ca from inside.
Lu Chen grabbed Su Mo’s hand and started backing away, whispering coldly, "Back off!"
The four of them quickly retreated, only Yang Yichu stood not far in front of the door.
The firmly shut door had its handle fall off and drop, and the door panel emitted a loud crash as it fell, dimming the line of sight. Only this room had its windows wide open, letting in so moonlight.
Against the backlight, there stood a girl, holding a human head, her hair tied in a ponytail.
Su Mo made out the face, the left eyeball was hanging by so nerves on one side of the face, and half of the face’s mouth was bitten off showing a large expanse of gums.
"So hungry, save ... so hungry".
The voice ca from its mouth.
Level 6 spiritual zombie.
Li Qian realized why his spiritual power had deviated, it had been disturbed by it early on.
"Sister, should I kill it?" Yang Yichu turned his head to ask Su Mo as casually as if asking about the weather.
No sooner had he spoken than a disturbingly shrill cry erupted from the other side.
"We, are, the, sa, kind".
The shriek turned into a few stamred words spit out from its mouth.
Su Mo was shocked; the higher these zombies evolved, the closer their abilities beca to those like Yang Yichu who possessed intelligence and knew how to hunt.
This was indeed bad news.
Yang Yichu didn’t respond to its words, but just curled his stiff lips and stared intensely at Su Mo.
If he was to kill his own kind, there would be no flicker of emotion in his eyes; all his feelings stemd exclusively from this human female before him.
Su Mo was no saint; looking at the ugly face inside the office, she quickly said, "Kill it, the Crystal Stone is yours".
"Okay".
No one knew how Yang Yichu moved, except Li Qian, who also possessed spiritual power. The gray spiritual power that swirled around was like a dense integrated net sweeping toward the girl in the office.
The head in its hand fell to the ground, and its body twisted ominously as it sprawled on the ground and charged outside.
"Eat, eat!"
Its form moved surprisingly fast, and the Long Tongue burst from its mouth, trying to bypass Yang Yichu aiming for Su Mo behind.
The small figure stood still, rely reaching out a small hand and directly grabbing the tongue.
A horrifying surge of spiritual power blasted towards the zombie girl’s brain.
Piercing screams echoed in the office.
Without any spare movents, a Level 6 zombie fell straight before him, its limp Long Tongue casually pulled out and tossed aside.
anwhile, Li Qian kicked open the firmly shut office door, revealing a pile of corpses inside.
The emanating stench almost made one vomit.
All were humans.
Su Mo glanced once and then turned her head away.
Utterly disgusting.
Li Qian stepped back two steps, overwheld by the odor as he covered his nose and muttered, "A huge ’grain mountain’".
"It’s not just one office here," Su Mo said as she walked over to the bodies, dug out a Crystal Stone, and was about to hand it to Yang Yichu, "Yours".
"This, doesn’t an much to ," Yang Yichu shook his head, and pointed at her stomach with his finger, "I want, to go back".
