Chapter 11 Collecting Bait
Chiyou's purpose is simple, he needs to find a few survivors.
Although he could break down the door without knocking and go in to check for survivors, he couldn't do that before finding the treasure chest.
He needed living survivors. If he couldn't bring them upstairs before finding enough people, Chiyou would have to spend extra effort to protect them.
If you cut off the survivors' limbs, their shrill screams will attract more zombies.
There is no problem with knocking someone unconscious, but if the strength is not controlled well, it is easy to kill the person directly.
There's no harm in being nice for now.
Chiyou went up to the fifth floor. Compared with the fourth floor, there were fewer zombies on the fifth floor, with only two in the corridor.
After solving the problem, Chi You continued to repeat the actions on the fourth floor. When he knocked on the third door, Chi You was sensitive enough to notice a slight strange sound inside the house.
If it was a zombie, there wouldn't be just this little sound.
It was more like someone was hesitating behind the door, wondering whether to open it.
After all, in the eyes of normal people, opening the door to strangers at will is a very dangerous thing.
"I am a national rescue worker. If there are survivors in the room, please open the door immediately. The next search will be carried out in a month."
After Chiyou finished speaking, he went straight to another door without waiting. Just when he was about to knock on the other door, the door opened with a click.
Chiyou smiled and then turned around.
The person who opened the door was a young girl, about twenty years old, with messy hair, a faint dark circle under her eyes, and a very tired expression.
It looked like she had stayed up all night.
But this is also normal. People who can sleep soundly all night are either talented and brave like Chiyou, or they are complete fools. It is normal for ordinary people to suffer from insomnia.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the girl knows that if she cannot be rescued, she will not be able to hold on, so she might as well take a risk, right?
Chi You was right. This girl had been losing weight for years and her body was weak. Except for her spirit which was 11 points, the remaining three dimensions, the highest physique, was only 5 points, and her strength and agility were both 4 points.
Not to mention zombies with enhanced attributes, even zombies from the first day are absolutely unbeatable monsters for her.
If I continue to stay here, I will definitely die. If I venture out, there may be a glimmer of hope.
Of course, the fact that the girl decided to come out has a lot to do with Chiyou’s appearance.
Chiyou can’t be described as stunningly handsome, but he can definitely be described as handsome.
Even as a villain, he is not the type that exudes murderous intent. It's just that the villain type is not written on his face.
As long as he pretends deliberately, he can put aside all his coldness and give people the illusion of being gentle and elegant, which is extremely deceptive.
Otherwise, if Chiyou had a fat face and didn't look like a good person, the girl would not open the door no matter what she said.
"Hello...Hello..." The girl was so timid that she didn't know what to say, so she could only stutter and say hello.
Chiyou asked in a kind tone: "Excuse me, are there any other survivors in your room?"
"No...no more, I'm all alone." the girl said in a low voice.
"Oh, don't be afraid. Our people are rescuing all the survivors."
"Great! Am I really saved?"
"Of course, but I still have to search the other floors, so please go back to your room and wait. I will come downstairs to call you before I leave. It won't take long."
Chiyou's attitude completely put the girl at ease. She followed Chiyou's instructions, went back to the room and closed the door.
This scene was seen by the man at the opposite door through the peephole, and he was originally hesitating whether to open the door.
His physique is naturally much stronger than that of girls. He ventured out to hunt zombies yesterday. Although it was difficult, he managed to kill two.
This seemed like a good start, but soon after, the zombie tide in the hall taught him a hard lesson.
Both of his companions died, leaving him alone. He ran back to the room and hid in the corner, shivering.
Seeing that the girl was fine, Chiyou did not seem like a bad person.
The man gritted his teeth and slowly opened the door when Chiyou knocked on it.
Just like before, Chiyou simply asked if there was anyone else in the room, and then let him go back to the room to wait.
There were two survivors on the fifth floor. Chiyou continued to move up and later found a survivor on the sixth and seventh floors respectively.
Of course, it is possible that someone may have heard Chiyou's words but still hid in the room and did not come out.
They are lucky.
Four survivors are enough to keep us going. The next step is to find out which floor the treasure chest is on.
So much time has passed that Chiyou no longer remembers on which floor he found the treasure chest in his previous life. He only remembers that it was in a very unique restaurant, and he has a vague impression that it was around the tenth floor.
He then cleared upwards, all the way to the ninth floor.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Chiyou's eyes lit up.
This floor is no longer accommodation rooms, but a lounge and restaurant.
Finally found it
Chiyou chopped up the zombies inside, looked around, and walked towards the seafood restaurant on the left.
Chiyou walked a few steps inside and immediately saw a glowing golden treasure chest at the end of the corridor leading to the private room.
About fifteen meters in front of the treasure chest, there is a crystal lamp that is too large. It has a very unique shape and is full of artistic atmosphere.
But if you really think that it is a crystal chandelier and walk over to open the treasure chest, reality will physically make you a new person. Of course, it is also possible that you will not be a human being, after all, it depends on your luck in reincarnation.
Others may not know, but Chiyou knew it clearly. That was not a crystal lamp at all, but a camouflaged mutant octopus.
Its attributes are not outstanding, but it has many skills and a very strong self-healing ability. In addition, it has four giant mutated tentacles. In its previous life, it caused a lot of trouble to Chi You and made him want to give up the treasure chest many times.
After confirming the location of the treasure chest, Chiyou returned downstairs and knocked on the doors of the four survivors he found.
"My companions have already cleaned up the area above. There are still many zombies in the lobby. Please follow me to the rooftop. A plane will pick you up."
"Hey brother, wasn't the means of transportation out of order? How come the plane is still usable?" the man asked, rubbing his hands.
"This involves some secrets. I will explain them to you if I have the chance in the future. But now the more important thing should be to escape from here and go to a safe area, right?" Chi You replied with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, let's go, let's go." The man nodded repeatedly.
"You guys walk ahead of me. The zombies down there haven't been cleared yet. I'll cover your back."
Hearing this, several people stood still, and no one was willing to walk in front. After all, Chiyou said that the upstairs had been cleaned up, but what if there was something left?
Just as everyone was hesitating, a zombie suddenly jumped up from below. Several people immediately ran upstairs, fearing that they would be caught by the zombie if they were a little slow.
Chi You followed the others silently until they reached the ninth floor, where a zombie rolled down from the top floor. Without waiting for them to react, Chi You drew his sword and swung it across. Ice crystals flashed, and the legs of the four people were cut off at the root.
