Chapter 177 182. The Disappearing Zombies
Several people walked into the base. Although they had expected the result, they were still shocked when they saw the mess on the ground and the broken walls.
There was no one alive in the whole city, and the deaths were horrible. It was obvious that the city had experienced a large zombie wave.
Several people walked all over the base, their legs were exhausted, and they didn't see any sign of human presence.
"It shouldn't have happened that he died so completely!" Qiao Ziyi said.
Jian An and Lin Jun lay on the ground and studied it for a while. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"What's wrong?" Huo Huai asked.
"Look!" Jian Jianan said, pointing to the footprints on the ground.
Qiao Ziyi looked down and found a large number of blurry footprints heading outside.
Everyone followed the footprints and walked to the outside of the city gate. They continued walking forward until they arrived outside a large shopping mall.
"Could it be that the base was breached and everyone found a new place?" Huo Yao guessed.
"No, isn't the base safer than the mall?"
Huo Huai just felt something was wrong.
Finally, everyone discussed it and decided to find a place to rest first, then explore the mall, and then they settled down in the residential building opposite the mall.
Jian Chengan stood in front of the window, looking at the mall with a telescope. Night was the time when zombies were most active, but Jian Chengan did not see a single zombie, and the mall opposite was also pitch black.
"This is so strange!" Jian Cheng'an put down the telescope, looking puzzled. The footprints they saw in the afternoon were clearly those of the survivors, but after observing for so long, they saw neither lights nor human figures.
Lin Shishi stretched her ears and listened carefully for a long time, then suddenly said, "There are sounds, human cries for help, chewing sounds, and screams."
"Can you tell where the sound comes from?" Huo Huai asked immediately.
"It's the sound coming from the mall!" Lin Shishi said affirmatively.
Now everyone was even more confused because they didn't hear any fighting sound at all.
"Let's wait until dawn before taking action." Lin Jun said cautiously.
When the sky was just getting light, everyone was ready. When they opened the door, a chill blew in and the weather became even colder. Facing the cold wind, several people walked carefully towards the mall.
When I entered the door, it was empty. The counters and things in the store were all tilted and dirty.
Everyone looked at each store one by one and found that all the food stores on the first floor were empty, but the gold jewelry, skin care products, clothes and home furnishings were not moved much.
Everyone put away the things they needed into the space as they walked, looking at and collecting things layer by layer until they had finished visiting the entire mall. They didn't find anything unusual. If there was anything unusual, it was that there were no zombies.
"Didn't Shishi say she heard some noise? What's going on? Forget zombies, there's not even a ghost." Yu Zhiming was tired from walking and sat down on a chair.
The others walked around, while Huo Huai and Jian Cheng'an stood in front of the mall's distribution map, looking at it carefully. Suddenly, their eyes stopped at the underground parking lot.
"There's one place we haven't been to yet." Jian Cheng'an said, pointing to the underground parking lot on the map.
"Yes, the underground parking lot!" Huo Huai said affirmatively.
"I heard some noise, it came from underground." Lin Shishi suddenly spoke in surprise.
"Let's go!" Qiao Ziyi and Chen Yang immediately ran downstairs.
A group of people rushed to the parking lot panting, but what they saw was a closed door of the emergency passage.
Lin Shishi walked over carefully, put her ear to the door and listened attentively. She could actually hear the sound of nails scratching on the door.
