Chapter 653: Elevator

Good people die young, while those who are bad live forever.

-Mo Ke

Big brother What about all those people over there? Just as we were about to leave, Jiaojiao suddenly pointed at the screaming people who were still fleeing from the zombies.

In all likelihood, these people were doomed unless someone helped them.

There were hundreds still left in the shelter, while the zombies probably numbered in the dozens.

However, these zombies were all scattered about, and would take considerable time to round up and kill. More importantly, their numbers were increasing. Just as we were looking in their direction, one of the bloody corpses on the floor suddenly stood up, hobbled towards a person, tripped then got back up and continued chasing someone.

That corpse had only died mere moments ago

He Hes alive again Seeing a corpse reanimated before her very eyes, even Bitong couldnt help but gasp in surprise.

Hmph. Dont we already know that? Lixiang stated nonchalantly, though her teeth were already chattering.

Were leaving, now!

The corpses were already starting to zombify, which meant that if we did not leave quickly, all those dead bodies on the floor might soon rise up as well By then, protecting ourselves would be difficult, let alone these strangers.

That wasnt to say I didnt want to save them, but the girls took priority.

Facing us now were two choices: the elevator or the stairs.

The closest elevator to us had at least twenty bodies lying around it. Not only that, there were three zombies munching away on them. In order to take this elevator, we had to clear up the zombies first. And as a precaution, probably behead each of the corpses as well, to prevent any of them from suddenly popping up for a snack.

As for the stairway it was my firm opinion to just skip it who knew how many had died already in its narrow pathways, or how many corpses might just suddenly reanimate as we pass them.

Slowed down, the zombies took the opportunity to catch up, blocking off the pathway to the elevator.

With no way forward, the poor escapees scattered about like headless chickens

These people are done for

At least that was what I thought. Miraculously, three escapees came charging through the zombie blockade.

Yet their escape was anything but miraculous. Ruthless was more like it. The only reason they were able to pass through the zombies was because they grabbed those that were nearby and pushed them at any zombie they encountered. With that distraction, they sprinted at full speed towards the elevator.

Their survival was built on a mountain of corpses.

Wait for us

It was only when they came up to us that I finally saw who they were. These three were the same garish hoodlums who harassed us at the start

I definitely wasnt planning to wait for these scumbags, but it was already too late.

Even if I were to close the elevator now, they had more than enough time to stick out their hands to block the door from closing

Just like that, the three hoodlums successfully boarded the elevator. Lixiang didnt waste any time at all in closing the door afterwards.

Jeez that place was a mess One of the hoodlums griped as the elevator slowly closed.

Phew oh would you look at that we meet again, girlies. The hoodlum who spoke up was the leader of the bunch. Not that I would ever forget about him, given his disgusting aura and punchability.

Cant believe hes actually still alive no wonder they say good people die young but evildoers live a thousand years.

I coldly stared at the hoodlum leader. I saw what you did back there. Youve murdered quite a few people just to get here.
