Chapter 127 - 127 It's Empty?

127 It’s Empty?

Just as those blood-stained claws were about to touch Wu Jiaxin’s neck, Wang Ran’s axe flashed with light!

The two arms fell to the ground instantly.

A hunchbacked Mutant Zombie howled and fled into the corridor.

Losing limbs all of a sudden always threw you off-balance. The zombie stumbled and fell over every few steps. It was quite miserable.

“Kill him!”

Wang Ran ordered.

Wu Jiaxin thought for a moment, then raised the axe in her hand and threw it at the hunchbacked zombie.

“Pfft!”

The hunchbacked zombie’s back was hit by the axe!

Wu Jiaxin chased after him, stepped on the hunchbacked zombie’s back, and pulled out the axe.

The zombie didn’t struggle much, and it looked like it was dying.

Wu Jiaxin remembered Wang Ran’s reminder that they had to kill all the zombies!

She raised her axe and hacked at the hunchbacked zombie’s head.

The hunchbacked zombie was depressed. His back was full of rotten meat, and he wasn’t afraid of being cut.

He had wanted to play dead and take the opportunity to escape, but who knew that this woman would cut off his head as soon as she arrived…

Sigh, it was too hard to be a zombie…

“Pfft!”

Wu Jiaxin killed the hunchbacked zombie decisively.

“Master, I’m awesome, right?”

Wu Jiaxin turned around and tilted her head proudly.

“Awesome, my ass!”

Wang Ran cursed.

“You don’t have a good memory, do you?

“After killing that tongue guy, you relaxed!

“if it weren’t for me, this zombie would have taken your head!

“After killing this guy, you dropped your guard and even turned around to greet me…”

Wang Ran started scolding Wu Jiaxin.

Wu Jiaxin lowered her head, feeling very depressed.

Wang Ran was right.

If a zombie attacked her from behind while she was greeting him, she would definitely fall.

Wu Jiaxin obediently walked to Wang Ran’s side.

Now that certain walls between the two of them had been broken, Wu Jiaxin naturally became more obedient to Wang Ran.

“Let’s go. Let’s go to the fourth floor.”

When Wang Ran walked back to the stairs, he turned around and looked at the deep end of the third-floor corridor.

He felt a pair of eyes watching him.

It should be a strong zombie.

However, the other party seemed to be afraid of his strength and did not make any moves.

‘Forget it, I’ll find the target first. I can kill zombies anytime.’

Wang Ran brought Wu Jiaxin up to the fourth floor.

There was a skylight on the fourth floor, so the visibility in the corridor was better.

However, the gloomy atmosphere did not let up in the slightest.

Wang Ran and Wu Jiaxin walked around the corridor a few times.

There were quite a few zombies on this floor, but they were weak, and they didn’t see many Mutated Zombies.

After some searching, Wang Ran finally found room 4302.

Wang Ran gently stretched out, and the door opened.

“The door isn’t locked. The situation doesn’t look good…”

Wang Ran frowned.

If there was someone inside, or if the person was still alive, it was impossible for the door to be unlocked.

Wang Ran pushed the door open and slowly walked in.

This was a room by the window, and it was decently illuminated.

The room was relatively clean. It seemed that no zombies had come in.

There was no one in the toilet, in the cabinet, or under the bed.

“Master, did we come here for nothing?”

Wu Jiaxin asked.

“Let’s see.”

Wang Ran started to check the room carefully.

A notebook on the table caught Wang Ran’s attention.

Most hotel rooms provided this, but very few people actually used it.

Wang Ran picked up the notebook and flipped through it. There were indeed words inside.

“If you’re here to rescue me after receiving my distress signal, please flip the mattress.”

It had been written in a combination of traditional Chinese strokes and Romanized alphabets.

The person who asked for help probably didn’t know any encryption methods, so they could only use this method to write the hint that was easy for Chinese people to read.

Wang Ran immediately lifted the mattress.

There was a USB flash drive and a palm-sized box inside.

There was a password on the box.

Although Wang Ran could crack it with brute force, he might destroy the things inside.

Since the distress signal mentioned important research results, he couldn’t act rashly.

Wang Ran put the box into his backpack and zipped it up.

There was a piece of paper under the mattress.

Wang Ran picked it up and took a look.

This time, it was written properly.

“I’m out of food!

“There are more and more zombies in the front cabin.

“This morning, I heard zombies breaking into the rooms on the first floor.

“It should be a zombie of some intellect!

“They’re searching for humans, one by one!

“I think they’ll scour the fourth floor soon.

“I’ve decided to take a gamble. I’ll try my luck in the second half of the cabin.

“Zombies are only interested in flesh and blood, so I’ve put the most important bit of the research materials here.

“If you can read my note, you should be Chinese.

“Please help me bring these things back and hand them over to the country!

“Liu Shiyao.”

Wang Ran smiled.

A foreigner who happened to know the language could have easily decoded this.

This Liu Shiyao probably thought of this method because she had no other choice.

“Master, they said they’re going to the back of the cabin…

“Are we going to save them?”

Wu Jiaxin asked.

Wang Ran was no saint. Therefore, she did not know what Wang Ran was planning.

“Let’s go take a look.

“We’re already here anyway.

“After all, this person is a Chinese researcher. There’s no harm.”

Wang Ran picked up the axe and led Wu Jiaxin out.

The cabin of the cruise ship was divided into two parts: front and back.

There was a huge swimming pool in the middle of the deck, surrounded by entertainment facilities.

Wang Ran was currently in the front cabin.

Wang Ran and Wu Jiaxin arrived at the end of the fourth-floor cabin.

There was a slide that led to the swimming pool below.

From the looks of it, the researcher named Liu Shiyao had escaped from here.

What a luxurious cruise ship.

Wang Ran sighed.

Out of safety considerations, Wang Ran took the lead and sat on the slide.

Wu Jiaxin followed closely behind.

Perhaps it was too dry, but the friction in the middle section of the ladder increased greatly, and Wang Ran’s speed shot down.

However, Wu Jiaxin, who was behind him, didn’t slow down…

Wang Ran’s head was directly covered by the dress…

Wu Jiaxin shuddered!

It was already very difficult to slide down the stairs in a skirt, as she had to hold it with her hand the entire time.

Now, it had actually covered Wang Ran’s head…

It was too embarrassing!

For the next part of the journey, the two of them sped up and rubbed against each other. It was not easy for them to reach the swimming pool…

Wu Jiaxin’s face was already so red that she couldn’t speak.

Wang Ran touched the top of his head. It felt like he had just washed his head…

However, they didn’t have too much time to be embarrassed.

The water in the pool was up to their knees, and there were swollen bodies everywhere.

Many red-eyed zombies were charging at them…
