Chapter 149 Prison
He Zhuo: "Tsk tsk tsk, how much salt must they eat every day to be this bored, keeping zombies as pets??"
Gu Wan: "This time I'm on He Zhuo's side. He really wouldn't do something like this without a serious illness."
Chi Yanzhou: "Perhaps it's to obtain high-level crystal cores?"
Lu Nange closed his eyes and concentrated, his mental energy continuing to spread: "Very likely."
She suddenly opened her eyes, a sly glint in them: "There's no sign of life inside..."
"So, what does Nan Nan want?" Lu Xici asked.
"A bargain delivered right to my door..." Lu Nange.
He Zhuo: "Of course we have to take advantage of it! As the saying goes, 'A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal!'"
Gu Wan: "Then shall we steal that bastard's house?"
Lu Nange: "Any later, the 'keepers' of these zombies will probably come to feed them."
Chi Yanzhou glanced at the sky: "Time is tight and the task is heavy."
"Zhizhi," Lu Nange said, "tie up all the zombies wandering around here."
"Chirp chirp chirp!" the little tree man responded cheerfully, leaping down from her shoulder.
[Don't worry, Master~ I'll tie them all up like dumplings!]
The moment it landed, the main root plunged into the concrete with a "plop," and countless vines radiated outwards.
"Go!" Lu Nange took the lead and rushed out.
She led the group nimbly through the intricate buildings, with muffled thuds coming from behind them—the sounds of level-two zombies being slammed to the ground by branches.
Chi Yanzhou quickly caught up: "With so many level-two zombies, no matter how skilled the people who raise them are, they can't possibly get through safely."
"Brother Yan, you mean there's a secret passage?" A glint of light flashed in Gu Qi's eyes.
He Zhuo: "No, could you say that again? How come there's a secret passage?"
Everyone...
Just as Lu Nange was about to bend down, Lu Xici scooped up his younger brother in his arms: "I'll do it."
The group followed Lu Nange as they ran through the alleyways. As they rounded the last bend, a building suddenly appeared before them.
"Prison?" Lu Xici raised an eyebrow. "They certainly know how to pick a place."
The tendrils surged toward the gate like a tide, engulfing the surrounding zombies.
A particularly thick vine even swayed gracefully, making a "please come in" gesture.
Just as Lu Beiye and Luo Xingyou were about to unleash their supernatural abilities to forcefully break down the door, Lu Nange waved her hand: "Wait. Come on, come on..."
Following his sister's instructions, Lu Beiye placed his small hand on the keyhole, conjured a key, and with a click, the door opened.
He Zhuo: "Strangely refined!"
Passing through the gate, the passageway was clean and tidy. Unlike outside the prison, there wasn't a single zombie in sight inside, indicating that it had been meticulously maintained.
Only the bloody handprints and scratches on the wall silently tell the story of what happened here...
As they went further in, just as Lu Nange had said, every cell was filled with zombies.
The zombies mechanically gnawed at the bloody raw flesh, showing no reaction to the arrival of Lu Nange and her group.
The scene was slightly unsettling, with chewing sounds echoing throughout the space...
The strong smell of blood lingered in people's nasal cavities, making them feel nauseous. Lu Nange took out a stack of face masks.
After everyone put them on, Lu Beiye and Luo Xingyou were in charge of opening the doors, while the others went from room to room to collect the crystals, one by one, the red and orange crystal cores falling into the bags.
Disturbingly, these zombies didn't even lift their heads from their feeding state until they were attacked.
They slowly raised their blood-stained, flesh-covered faces, their cloudy eyes mechanically rotating, their chewing muscles still twitching.
Saliva mixed with bits of blood and flesh stretched into thick, stringy strands from the corners of his mouth...
Despite the churning in their stomachs, Lu Nange and her group gradually developed an efficient routine: the moment the cell door opened, their supernatural abilities pierced through the zombies' heads, and He Zhuo, Chi Yi, and Ji Xian carried buckets inside to collect the crystal cores.
Until the very last cell.
"Splash—"
The heavy clanging of iron chains rang out.
The zombie with half-orange, half-yellow eyes suddenly looked up.
Its pupils actually moved with the movement of the crowd, as if... it was thinking.
