Chapter 8: King of the Zombies
The three of them left the research institute and walked towards the hospital according to the route described on the map.
"Don't turn on the light!" Ye Chen saw Bai Long was about to turn on the flashlight and hurriedly stopped him. "Zombies are very sensitive to light. Once you turn on the flashlight, they will be attracted to you."
Bai Long was startled for a moment, then quickly put away the flashlight and walked away along the street in the dark night.
The sky was pitch black, covered with dark clouds. There was not a trace of moonlight. Only the whistling wind could be heard, blowing through the green trees on the roadside, making a rustling sound, like the grinning of a ghost.
"There's someone over there." Suddenly, Bai Long saw a woman squatting by a wall not far away, her shoulders slightly shaking, as if she was crying.
Ye Chen frowned and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it, let's go!"
"How can that be possible!" Bai Longlian said, "She is a weak woman. If she encounters zombies, she will be eaten."
Ye Chen stared at him and said coldly: "Which idiot would squat on the side of the road in the middle of the night?"
Bai Long was startled, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced at the figure in the distance, and saw that she was not crying, but chewing something...
"Hurry up!" Ye Chen shouted in a low voice, and ran forward quickly. His speed was so fast that Bai Long could barely keep up with him with all his strength. What surprised the two was that Mo Feng, who was always silent, could also easily keep up with Ye Chen's pace.
Ye Chen took a deep look at the man without saying anything. As the group turned a corner, Ye Chen stopped immediately due to an instinctive sense of danger.
"What's wrong?" Bai Long was surprised.
Ye Chen shook his head and looked forward through the wall. His pupils suddenly shrank and he saw hundreds of zombies gathered in an open space in the distance, standing there loosely. In the middle of this group of zombies stood a very tall zombie with very long nails, eyes that glowed green in the darkness of the night, and protruding fangs, which was extremely terrifying.
Ye Chen saw that the zombies around him seemed to be led by this zombie, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"The King of Zombies!"
Some zombies, after devouring the flesh and blood of powerful monsters, will also evolve their physique just like humans devour genetically modified flesh. These zombies, which are far ahead of ordinary zombies, are called the king of zombies.
"roar!"
The zombie king stood in the center of the zombies, raised his claws, roared, and the zombies around him also roared along.
Ye Chen quickly lowered his body and held his breath.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The Zombie King seemed to be telling something, and the zombies around him roared loudly. Then, the Zombie King walked to the side of the street, raised his hand and pointed forward, and many zombies rushed forward with roars, and went into the buildings on the street and began to search.
"ah--"
In the silent night, a shrill scream was heard from a building, followed by the sound of bones being chewed, which made people's scalps numb and their hair stand on end.
"Do these zombies have thoughts?" Bai Long said in shock.
Ye Chen did not speak. In fact, this kind of zombies were completely different from those in the movies. In the later period, the dark creatures were the most powerful among the three camps, especially the Dark City. Even the top ten supermen in the world did not dare to enter. It was said that the city lord was an extremely terrifying dark creature that no one could match.
"Let's go!"
Not long after, this group of zombies, led by the zombie king, rushed to the distant streets, searching for surviving humans in every building. During this period, they also encountered an iron-haired dog, a monster with the strength of 30 people, but it was eventually killed by hundreds of zombies.
After killing it, several zombies pounced on it to tear its flesh, but they were picked up by the zombie king and thrown out. Then it roared at all the zombies, and those zombies who saw the fresh blood and were eager to try became quiet one by one and stopped competing with it for food.
The group sneaked towards another street. Perhaps because all the zombies nearby had been summoned by the zombie king, they did not encounter any zombies along the way.
Not long after, a towering building came into view.
In the night, the building is like a crawling beast, emitting bursts of eerie atmosphere.
Ye Chen took the lead and rushed in, walking up the stairs and into the hospital.
Bai Long and the other man followed behind. After they came in, they saw that it was pitch black inside. They couldn't see their hands in front of them. There were gusts of cold wind. It was as if they were in the middle of nowhere, being stared at by a pair of sneering eyes.
Bai Long turned on the flashlight and shone it around. He saw white papers everywhere on the ground. Most of them were patients' medical records. The only strange thing was that it was very clean and there was not even a trace of blood.
Ye Chen frowned slowly, was silent for a while, and said to Bai Long and Mo Feng: "You two go together and search from the left, and I will go to the right. If you encounter any monsters, shout loudly."
Mo Feng nodded.
Bang!
Suddenly, the hospital door slammed shut, the wind whistled outside, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
Bai Long was startled and almost dropped the flashlight in his hand. He swallowed and asked, "Is there anyone outside?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with coldness. He walked to the door and kicked it with great force, forcibly breaking it open. He walked out and looked around in the dim night. There was no one around.
"Maybe it's the wind." Ye Chen turned and walked in.
Bai Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was so scared that I thought I had run into a ghost."
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and gave a few instructions. Then the three of them split up into two groups to look for the serum warehouse.
After the three of them left the door, a white shadow floated past outside. Then, the door that had been kicked in by Ye Chen was closed again. In the silent room, there seemed to be a strange grin.
Ye Chen had never been to such a big hospital before. If he had some minor illnesses, he would endure them if he could. If he couldn't, he would go to some private clinics for treatment. After all, the prices in big hospitals were too high.
The quiet corridor was filled with a faint smell of medicine. There were rooms on both sides. Although most of them were wards, Ye Chen opened every room to check in order not to miss any.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The strange thing is that after checking seven or eight rooms in a row, all of them were wards, there was not a single patient in them, not even a zombie was seen.
Ye Chen saw a switch on the wall and reached out to turn it on.
Boom!
It was lit all around, with light tubes on the ceiling.
Ye Chen exclaimed in his heart, with the light shining, the efficiency of work can be greatly improved. He immediately looked around, and there was silence all around, only the sound of his shoes.
After walking around, Ye Chen didn't encounter any zombies. It seemed that all the people in the hospital had disappeared, and there was not even a trace of blood on the ground.
Ye Chen found an office with many documents on the table. Ye Chen picked up some and flipped through them, trying to find the location of the serum warehouse from these documents. However, these documents only recorded some patients' cases.
"Zhang Fangting, illness: advanced stage lung cancer, rescue efforts were ineffective, and she has died." On one case, there was a headshot of a woman, with a description of her condition next to it.
After taking a few glances, Ye Chen lost interest, turned around and left the room, walking back along the path.
After walking a few steps, Ye Chen suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if someone was blowing on his neck. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing behind him and the white light was a bit cold.
"Huh?" Ye Chen casually glanced at a ward passing by, and suddenly saw that the light in the room was turned off. He was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that he had turned on the light in the room before.
Could it be that Bailong and the others have been here?
Ye Chen frowned, but didn't take it to heart. He continued walking and came to a staircase. There was a chair here. A woman in red was sitting on it. She had long hair and lowered her head.
Ye Chen glanced at her nails and saw that they had not grown longer. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know where the serum warehouse is here?"
The woman in red raised her head. Her hair covered half of her face, but the other half was very pretty. It was obvious that she must be a beauty. Hearing this, she smiled slightly. There was a little strangeness in her eyes, and her voice seemed to have a kind of magic. "I know!"
"Where?" Ye Chen was delighted and asked quickly.
"Follow me." The woman in red had a very sweet voice and turned to walk downstairs.
Ye Chen followed closely behind.
Not long after, they arrived at the basement level. There was a long corridor with many rooms. In the room in the center, there were three words written on it: Morgue!
Ye Chen felt that the temperature around him was a little chilly.
At this time, a woman in white came from a distance, with disheveled hair and head lowered, and walked slowly towards here.
Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he quickly pulled the woman in red and ran downstairs.
"Why are you running?" the woman in red asked in surprise.
Ye Chen brought her to the second floor of the basement. It was pitch black here, with many wards. He didn't know what they were used for. He stopped and said to the woman in red, "The woman just now was wearing the clothes of the corpse in the morgue. She must not be human!"
"Oh." The woman in red smiled strangely.
Seeing her smile, Ye Chen suddenly felt cold. A piece of information flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You, you are that Zhang Fangting!!"
