Chapter 8

Knowing that Zoug and the others were heading towards the trap set by the living corpse, Zero did not panic or act impulsively. These two emotions could not turn the tide.

Only with calmness and caution would he be able to survive.

Zero put the pistol away and headed for the door.

He turned, his hand already on the butt of the rifle.

Mary was squatting beside the man's body, chewing something, blood and minced meat spilling out of her mouth like wild animals.

Her eyes were glowing red, and Mary was stunned when the reflection of her zero infrared scout brought her to the ghoulish self.

The next moment, she spat out all the food in her mouth with a "Wow!" sound.

If Zoug were here, he would be quite surprised. A living corpse would actually spit out the food in its mouth. This was simply the sun rising from the west.

Mary's face was pained, and she tried to scratch the ground with one hand, but her other hand held her down.

She let out a strangled cry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and came over to the body of Chief Smith.

She reached out her hand and touched the cold white skeleton of her lover. The red light in her eyes slowly faded.

Suddenly she turned.

Thinking she was about to attack him, he raised his hand and aimed the M500's large, dark muzzle at Mary.

At such a close distance, even if Zero closed his eyes, he would still be able to send the living corpse's head flying.

But Mary did not come forward. She opened her mouth to say something, but the sound coming from her throat became a meaningless syllable like "Ho Ho Ho".

Impatient, Mary threw herself into the medicine cabinet beside her, and, after a series of punches and kicks, crawled out again.

She looked up, trying to form a mouth.

Even though the sound was still syllables, he understood her words from the shape of her mouth.

"Kill me?"

Zero said what Mary wanted to say.

Sure enough, Mary smiled and nodded.

He then looked at the dead body of the sheriff, sadness flashing across his eyes.

Even though he had become a monster, he still kept his former lover.

Such love, far more weighty than any gorgeous words, and gently touch a string in the heart.

"Understood."

Zero put the pistol away, drew his dagger, and walked over to Mary.

Mary smiled and closed her eyes.

The moment her eyes closed, a cold light shot out from the dagger, piercing her forehead with a whistling sound.

When he pulled it out again, it carried a blood arrow.

The nerves in his head had been destroyed. No matter how strong his body was, he wouldn't be able to survive, no matter how living corpses were.

Mary plopped down next to the sheriff, hugging her dead lover and dying.

Zero quietly withdrew from the room and dragged out the bodies of the two men. Finally, he sealed the room with debris.

It was the tomb that belonged to Mary and her husband and should not be disturbed in their sleep.

He took a deep breath and walked deeper into the darkness.

He walked softly, like a gust of wind, like a wandering ghost, through the long passage.

Just around the bend, he came to a figure.

It was a living corpse, lying on the ground, smelling something through its nose.

Then he looked up and opened his mouth to scream.

A dagger was thrust into his mouth, followed by a strong hand that gripped his chin and swung to the right.

With a light kacha sound, the living corpse's head drooped down, and the red light in its eyes disappeared.

After gently placing the living corpse on the ground, Ling Chen's worry grew.

It was obvious that this was a sentry from the group of living corpses. He had already discovered the traces left behind by Zoug and the others.

Fortunately, when he was about to send out a signal, he was intercepted. However, he knew that before long, more corpses would arrive alive.

Time is running out.

When his eyes fell on the "Antibiotics Room" sign, Zek motioned, and Carl and Tony charged in with their guns and separated them from each other.

After a few rounds of the muzzle, Carl signaled for security, and Zoug walked in.

Zoug pointed to the door, and Carl and Zoug nodded, knowing Zoug wanted them to keep watch.

He walked to the row of medicine cabinets in front of him, where boxes of antibiotics lay quietly.

Zoug took out his backpack and swept through the potions like a whirlwind.

He also needed some common drugs like penicillin, but he didn't know if there was any stock in them.

Walking around the medicine cabinet in front of him, he realized that the cabinet behind him was lying on the floor. All kinds of medicine were mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish between the two.

His gaze drifted back and forth before finally landing on a medicine chest in the corner of the room.

There was something in it that the left man needed, though not much.

As he walked over, something flashed at the corner of his eye.

Turn around, squat down, raise the gun, aim.

A series of movements were as smooth as flowing water, this was all thanks to his long and rigorous training. At this point, Zuo Ge had always been asking himself in an almost cruel manner, and it was often proven that such training could achieve unexpected results at some times.

For example, at this moment, Zoug's reaction was fast.

However, in the direction the muzzle was pointed at, there was a human figure that dashed out of the window with an abnormally agile motion.

Zoug grunted and followed quickly with his gun in hand.

When he reached the window, he saw that the left side of the window was a pitch-black passageway, but there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost.

He thought he was wrong, so he pulled back his gun and backed away.

At that moment, someone suddenly stood up from under the window and reached out to grab Zoug's neck.

Zek's body moved faster than his head.

He leaned back first and pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot, causing him to fly backward.

At the same time, he raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.

The silencer spits out flames, revealing the ugly face of a living corpse outside the window.

In a split-second, the zombie shook continuously and a few holes appeared on its head by Zuo Ge. It fell to the ground and died.

He rolled nimbly to his feet, hoping for a fluke.

He walked carefully to the window and frowned at the living corpse.

Right now, the living corpse should be sleeping.

But the truth was exactly the opposite. This was an illogical imagination, and Zoug could only think of one possibility.

The living corpses in this hospital already knew of their arrival?

He was startled by the thought, and he suddenly remembered the warning before zero. He thought maybe zero was right, and the danger in the hospital might be more dangerous than he had expected.

When he returned, he wanted to tell Carl to retreat immediately.

A faint sound reached his ears.

Listening to something scrape the ground, Zoug looked out the window.

A figure hung upside down from the ceiling at the corner of the passage outside the window.

Through the infrared reconnaissance, Zoug and he looked at each other.

In his line of sight, the man hanging from the ceiling suddenly opened his mouth and yelled, but no sound came out.

Zoug knew it was a low-frequency sound wave that living corpses could only hear from their own kind, summoning other living corpses.

Zoug cursed, turned, and ran, ignoring the living corpse.

As he ran, he shouted, "Retreat!"

Retreat!

"Damn, this is a trap!"

The living corpses already knew of their arrival, but ever since they entered the hospital, Zuo Ge and the others did not encounter any obstruction.

This was obviously the purpose of the living corpses. The purpose was to lure them deep into the heart of the earth, and then fight them to the end.

However, he couldn't figure out when a living corpse could be smart enough to set a trap.

Naturally, this was not the time to study the wisdom of living corpses.

This topic was left for the relevant experts to study.

Zag sprinted forward at ten meters per second and arrived at the door in the blink of an eye.

After hearing his voice, the two of them pushed open the door and were about to leave when they realized that the door was blocked.

When he heard the news, Zoug's face was ashen.

There was no time for Zoug to react. There was a sudden noise from the window.

As soon as Zuo Ge turned around, he saw a figure rushing out from behind the medicine cabinet.

This man was using both hands and feet, running like an animal but abnormally fast. If this strange posture was not a living corpse, then what else could it be?

Without waiting for an order from Zek, Tony swung a barrage of bullets across the figure.

Just as the living corpse was about to pounce, it was hit in mid-air by Tony and fell heavily to the ground.

Tony gasped, looking nervous.

Following that, more and more voices came from the window.

Zoug sighed, knowing that the three of them had been trapped in the storeroom.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Find cover and save bullets."

"Even if we're going to die, we have to put on a few more backers!"

With that, a dozen or so figures rushed out from behind the cabinet.

The living corpses climbed the ceiling, or fought their way from the ground on their hands and knees.

Karl and Tony were truly experienced firepower users. They were calculating the angle of the firepower to maximize its lethality.

Two machine-gun shells tore through the storage space, leaving corpses on the ground.

But more living corpses were pouring in, shrieking and knocking over the medicine cabinet.

The humanoid monsters, their eyes glowing red, fearlessly pounced on the three Zuogg's people. Even if they were to leave behind more corpses under the firepower of Zuogg and the others, they would not be able to force these living corpses to take a small step back.

Zuo Ge was burning with anxiety.

The number of living corpses in the hospital's basement far exceeded the information displayed on the data. The living corpses that should have stayed in the school now appeared here.

Zoug could no longer tell whether this was a small migration of living corpses or an act of some sort.

If it was the former, it would be fine. However, if it was the latter, it would cause one's heart to turn cold.

And from a living corpse possessing the intelligence to lay a trap, the second possibility was probably the most likely.

That meant that half a year ago, the living corpse had encountered a small team on a mission. It had already expected that humans would come again.

That's why they gave up their nests and hid in the hospital, waiting for a chance to get fresh food like this one.

As Zoug analyzed the possibility, the muzzle of the machine gun lit up his face.

At this moment, there was only shock and fear on Zuo Ge's face!

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the main door behind them. There was also the sharp sound of metal clashing against the ground.

The living corpses that surrounded the three suddenly stopped their attacks. They revealed terrified expressions as they stared at the door behind the three of them.

Following the weird cries, the living corpses retreated, revealing an empty space. Zuo Ge and the others were at a loss.

At the same time, a sharp piece of metal stabbed through the door, directly into Karl's back, and then through his chest!
