Chapter 223 Zombie King
A group of people were running wildly on the second floor. From the transparent guardrail on one side, they could see the densely packed zombies on the ground floor, which were moving their positions along with their movements.
Soon, another escalator appeared in front of them, but just as the group arrived, a swarm of zombies suddenly rushed towards the elevator entrance and were quickly chasing them to the second floor.
"What should we do? They are rushing towards us." Lin Shuyuan, Wu Tianqi and Wu Shuang all looked pale, but Li Qing, Lu Yiming, Lin Yuan and Hua Jianming all looked indifferent and showed no emotion.
The pregnant woman held her belly and looked at Hua Yang carefully and said, "Why should we leave towards the safe passage? It's closer to the exit, and there aren't that many zombies there."
Hua Yang frowned and looked at the pregnant woman. If she didn't know that there was a mid-level zombie wandering on the third floor of the safe passage, she would have chosen to go there.
She looked at the pregnant woman with a gloomy face for a while, and suddenly she thought of a possibility. Yansuan detected that the intermediate zombie at the entrance of the safety passage on the third floor had been lingering, as if it was afraid of something?
Intermediate zombies have a certain level of intelligence, and the things they fear must be extremely powerful. Now in the entire mall, there are the fewest zombies on the second floor. The ground floor is almost overwhelmed by zombies.
She looked up at the third and fourth floors. Although there were not as many zombies as on the ground floor, there were still quite a few of them, wandering around in groups.
In comparison, the second floor is now the safest place.
From this, it can be seen that the thing that the intermediate zombie is afraid of is most likely on the second floor. So far, apart from some scattered zombies, there are only them on the second floor.
Could it be that the intermediate zombies were afraid of her? Thinking of the strange behavior of her father, Li Qing and the other two, Hua Yang suddenly had a bold guess in her mind.
She looked at the pregnant woman and said, "I think what you said is right. We should leave through the safe passage. It will lead directly to the exit on the ground floor, which will reduce the possibility of everyone facing so many zombies. Let's go without further ado!"
Yan Suan looked at Hua Yang in surprise, "Sister-in-law? The third-floor staircase of the safe passage is only two rows of stairs away from the second floor. What about the mid-level zombies?"
Hua Yang raised an eyebrow and hinted: "Instead of facing so many zombies, maybe a mid-level zombie would be easier to deal with."
Yan Suan pursed his lips and nodded. The prince and the raccoon cat had already disappeared into the corridor. Every time they appeared and disappeared, they were silent, and Hua Yang's powerful mental power could not sense their location.
Hua Yang let her father Hua Jianming walk ahead of her, then Wu Shuang, Yan Suan, Lin Shuyuan and Wu Tianqi, and then herself, so that she could leave Li Qing, Lu Yiming, Lin Yuan and the pregnant woman to the end.
They had just opened the door to the safe passage when Hua Yang clearly felt an extremely strong and abundant energy stirring upstairs, but for some reason it didn't come down.
It really wanted to come down, but it was afraid of something!
There were only three rows of stairs leading from the second floor to the first floor, with more than ten steps in each row. After the group quickly walked up one row of stairs to the first floor, the intermediate-level zombies on the third floor finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed down.
At the same time, Hua Yang quickly came to the back and took the pregnant woman's arm from Lu Yiming, "You go first, I'll support her."
Lu Yiming's originally indifferent expression showed a trace of struggle. After meeting the pregnant woman's eyes, he nodded slightly and continued to walk with the people in front of him. Li Qing, Lin Yuan and Hua Jianming also paused for a moment before continuing to walk downstairs.
Hua Yang grabbed the pregnant woman's arm and didn't continue to follow the people in front. "I'll let Xiao Bai cover you. You go down and leave the mall first. Let Big Mac take you to area 008 and wait for me!"
The staircase to the safety passage is right next to the mall's main entrance. As long as you're fast enough, you can escape from the zombies on the ground floor and quickly leave the mall.
As long as they left the mall, the area outside was vast, making it easier to fight. In addition, the Big Mac was right outside the mall entrance, so as long as they got out, everyone would be safe.
Seeing everyone leave, Hua Yang loosened her grip on the pregnant woman's hand.
The middle-level zombie also rushed down at this time, revealing its true face. It was wearing a set of sports shorts and some sports shoes. Its skin was pale, and the dark purple veins under its skin were bulging, which looked very weird.
At this moment, it opened its mouth, baring its fangs covered with sharp spikes on the upper and lower parts, and roared at Hua Yang and the pregnant woman, as if threatening them.
A mid-level first-level zombie, with only the paleness and faint black and purple veins on his face, and a pair of vertical pupils like cat's eyes, he is almost no different from a human.
When it reaches level two, even the black and purple veins on its face will fade away, and its animal teeth will gradually fall off, and new human teeth will grow in. From the appearance, it is impossible to tell the difference between it and a human.
Hua Yang held the axe tightly in her hand, ready to fight at any time.
This mid-level zombie crawled on the ground on all fours in front of Hua Yang and the pregnant woman, occasionally standing up and walking around anxiously like a human.
Just as it circled back and forth in front of Hua Yang for several times and finally couldn't help but jump up and pounce on Hua Yang, it suddenly turned over as if frightened by something and fell on the next step of the stairs.
The intermediate zombie that fell to the ground ran towards the third floor without stopping, roaring.
Hua Yang saw the yellow pupils flash across the eyes of the pregnant woman next to her. It was so fast that she thought she was dazzled.
However, with her powerful mental power, she sensed that another extremely powerful mental power had just come from this pregnant woman, which was as short-lived and fleeting as the yellow light in her pupils just now.
Hua Yang frowned and looked at her, "What on earth are you?"
"Me? I'm a human! Just like you!" The pregnant woman no longer had that frightened look on her face. She stroked her belly with a loving look on her face, no different from a human. This made Hua Yang doubt her bold guess.
"Human? Why would a mid-level zombie be so afraid of you?"
The pregnant woman suddenly laughed and looked at Hua Yang with a sarcastic expression, "Can't I be a mutant?"
Hua Yang's axe slashed towards the pregnant woman's arm, and the dark green blood appeared on the pregnant woman's arm like the venom of some poisonous plant.
But before the blood could drip, the wound healed completely on its own.
"Human? It seems that you can't leave here today."
The pregnant woman laughed, "You want to kill me? Hahahaha!"
Hua Yang frowned and looked at her, "What are you laughing at?"
"Without me, you would never be able to leave this area. Do you believe it?"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's meaningless. Once I die, both you and your friends will die in this area. No one will be spared."
Hua Yang thought about what the pregnant woman meant. Combined with the strange behavior of her father, Li Qing and the other two, and the mid-level zombies who were extremely afraid of her, she was horrified and her heart sank again and again, "You controlled them? And the mid-level zombies didn't dare to approach, because they were afraid of you? Even the zombies on the ground floor were under your control?"
"You are right about the first two points, but the zombie group below is not controlled by me, but by that mid-level zombie. It doesn't want you to leave here."
"Then what are you?" Hua Yang's vague guess was further confirmed, but she was unwilling to say the answer that was about to come out of her heart. It seemed that as long as she didn't say it, it wouldn't be true.
"I, in fact, am already a real human being. But in your opinion, you may prefer to call me the Zombie King."
"Impossible! You can't be the Corpse King!"
