Wang Yao leaped up and rushed into the shopping center. Sure enough, the freezers for pig and chicken containers had been emptied, and the human containers had been almost all taken by the ghosts. Two ghosts were still hugging a human leg by the door of the cold storage, while another ghost was lying on the ground, gnawing on it obliviously.
