Chapter 45: These People Deserve to Die! [Seeking Recommendation Votes and Follow-ups]
The person who escaped from the duty room shouted as he went upstairs,
but on the eleventh floor, several people were playing mahjong.
At first, they vaguely heard the sound of a loudspeaker downstairs but didn’t take it seriously, thinking about going downstairs to check later,
when the man with a horse-face, smoking a cigarette, was about to win.
But at this moment, as the duty room staff continued to ascend the stairs shouting,
the noise grew louder, and the man with a horse-face finally realized something was wrong and couldn’t sit still anymore.
He ran to the entrance of the eleventh-floor staircase and saw: the duty room staff, panting and not daring to stop, climbing the stairs.
The man with a horse-face was about to curse at the duty room staff, wondering what all the fuss was about.
But then he heard a person behind him exclaim: "Brother Ma, the downstairs is filled with zombies, damn, so many of them!"
The man with a horse-face immediately turned his head and looked towards the staircase.
He saw the duty room staff, a bit exhausted from climbing the stairs and slowing down,
but with a slight tilt of his head, he saw numerous zombies tightly following behind the duty room staff!
Bang!
The man with a horse-face made a decisive decision and immediately closed the door to the eleventh floor.
As the saying goes, better save oneself than try to save others.
Seeing this, the duty room staff pushed on the door to the eleventh floor, finding it immovable, feeling somewhat desperate, and finally giving up on pushing the door.
He looked up the stairs and continued climbing, but this time, he dared not shout loudly.
What if the people upstairs, because of the zombies following, also closed their doors?
On the twelfth floor, there were also a dozen people idly doing their own things.
Thud thud thud, the duty room staff climbed over ten floors in one go, gasping for breath as he looked at the door of the twelfth floor, just four steps away.
At this moment!
A man who got up to go to the bathroom, standing up just in time to see the duty room staff on the stairs and also saw the full horde of zombies behind him.
"Zombies are coming!!!" the man preparing to go to the bathroom shouted loudly.
Everyone was instantly shocked and gathered at the doorway.
And in this moment, the man ready to use the bathroom, also closed the door of the twelfth floor!
He saw the pleading in the duty room staff’s eyes, but the zombies were just too close!
Bang!
The door to the twelfth floor was also closed.
Anger surged in the heart of the duty room staff, thinking to himself: Since you’re not willing to open the door to save me, then I won’t let you have it easy either!
He always had a lower status within this group, so all the dirty and exhausting work was left to him.
He knew that the rooftop terrace was where they committed their evil deeds, and anger surged in his heart.
He continued to run upstairs, heading straight for the rooftop.
But what he didn’t expect was that these people, not afraid of committing evil acts in broad daylight, now also closed the door.
At this moment, he felt like crying without tears.
If he had known, he would have just entered on some floor downstairs, if he had known, he wouldn’t have alerted them about the zombies, if he had known, he wouldn’t have stayed with these people...
But zombies don’t care about your hindsight.
The horde of zombies surged in, and the duty room staff despairingly closed his eyes.
Crunch crunch...
The duty room staff was tackled by zombies and torn apart and eaten.
The loudspeaker downstairs, no one knew if it was because of the zombie’s destruction, or if it broke after Yang Tianlong threw something at it, went silent.
Suddenly,
Drip...
The siren that Li Yu and the others heard earlier suddenly sounded again, loud enough that it seemed the whole city could hear.
At the Lotus Trading Center, the zombies howled at the entrance, but they couldn’t push open the door.
Accompanied by the siren, the zombies were attracted by an even louder sound, confusedly descending the stairs towards the direction of the siren.
Watching these zombies surge towards the Lotus Trading Center like a tide, and then retreat like a tide,
Li Yu and the others behind the Trading Center felt extremely depressed.
In this hidden alley, Li Yu and his group clearly saw the zombies had gone upstairs, and now watched the zombies gradually emerge.
They felt like they were screwed...
It’s so coincidental, isn’t it?
Li Yu glanced in the direction of the honking, his eyes flashing with cold intent.
"Brother Yu, what should we do now?" Li Tie asked.
Li Yu looked at the zombies still heading towards the honking sounds, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait, once the zombies have left, we’ll deal with those people!"
Twenty minutes later, the zombies had gradually all left.
Li Yu and his group drove their car under the Lotus Shopping Mall and saw the horn that had been trampled by the zombies.
"Let’s go, take care of the trouble!" Li Yu took the lead, armed with a gun and a knife, charging forward.
The four men followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Li Yu seemed to think of something, turned around and said, "No survivors from their side!"
The four nodded.
Upstairs!
Searching floor by floor.
Yet, they saw not a single person, although they did encounter several zombies which were all taken care of.
Finally, they reached the eleventh floor and saw the doors were closed.
Looking back, all the doors on the other floors were open, only the eleventh floor was closed.
The group exchanged looks, approximately guessing the situation.
The door was wooden but firmly locked, without a second thought, Li Yu started firing his gun, and two screams came from behind the door.
Watching the wooden door riddled with bullets, the sturdy door now seemed as frail as paper.
He kicked it down.
Door broken!
Li Yu and the others entered, seeing Ma Lian and others panicked.
He then asked, "Is there anyone else? Where’s your boss?"
Ma Lian, looking at the guns in their hands, fearfully said, "Zhou Sheng is on the rooftop, on the rooftop..."
With the answer he wanted, Li Yu fired a burst, and several fell into a pool of blood.
Upstairs.
People on the twelfth floor originally thought that the zombies had left, but suddenly heard gunshots and were confused.
Trying to understand what was going on, one peeked out a slight crack in the door,
Looking down the corridor, seeing no zombies, he felt a slight relief of surviving a disaster.
But just then, the door was forcefully pushed open.
The man looked up, saw Li Yu’s face with a sardonic smile.
Startled, he stumbled backward.
Li Yu swung the door open.
Peering inside, the people there, and the four who followed behind also rushed in.
At this moment, the group from the rooftop seemed to realize what was happening, several bare-chested men came down.
Among them, a man with a snake tattoo on his chest and wearing glasses boisterously shouted, "What are you screaming about? You’re disturbing my pleasure!"
Just as he was about to step inside, suddenly he spotted Li Yu and his group.
Especially seeing all four holding guns.
The glasses-wearing man suddenly halted, trying to step back.
Seeing this, Li Yu said, "You are Zhou Sheng, right?"
The man with glasses immediately sweated, smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, brother, just call me Little Zhou, I’m Zhou Sheng, calling me Zhou is also fine, haha. What are you guys doing with guns? I’m quite scared, haha," his voice filled with an ingratiating tone.
Li Yu saw that there were a few more people standing behind Zhou Sheng, gestured with his chin towards the corridor, and gave Li Tie and Li Gang a meaningful glance.
The two understood, heading directly to the corridor. One positioned at the entrance and the other at the doorway, barring any exit.
At this moment, Li Yu looked towards the direction the glasses man came from, thinking there might be more people upstairs.
He pointed his gun at the few who had just come down from the rooftop, making them and the people from the twelfth floor stand together.
Then he and Zhang Tianlong went upstairs to check.
On the rooftop...
Li Yu looked at the ground full of pale flesh, and several men obliviously exerting themselves upon their endeavors,
Among them, a man with a scar on his face, under him, a woman who seemed lifeless, yet the scarred man didn’t care at all.
Seeing this scene, Yang Tianlong was furious to the extreme.
Li Yu’s face showed little emotion; having seen too much similar wanton cruelty in his previous life.
Yang Tianlong’s face darkened, his eyes showing ferocity as he muttered, "Yu, you were right, these people deserve to die."
Each word filled with killing intent.
