It was the voice of the bespectacled man.

He had just come out of one of the shops and was about to enter the next when he unexpectedly bumped into a zombie standing right outside the door.

The zombie’s eyes were open.

Fear instantly flooded his heart, and a scream escaped his throat before he could stop it.

The other zombies that had awakened and were pretending to be asleep with their eyes closed stopped pretending as well.

Since they had already been discovered, there was no point in hiding anymore.

They suddenly opened their eyes and pounced on the nearest prey.

They had just awakened and were starving!

The food they had eaten in the middle of the night had already been completely digested as their bodies evolved.

"Ahhh—!"

Nine Pockmarks’ scream rang out as well.

Scarface and the others were stunned.

They had never expected these zombies to awaken so suddenly!

But they were surrounded by a horde of zombies!

The group immediately abandoned their supplies, grabbed their weapons, and prepared to fight their way out.

However, some of the zombies on the third floor had already successfully evolved into Level Two zombies.

These Level Two zombies simply swatted away the Level One zombies blocking their path and charged fiercely toward the group.

The monkey, who was closest to the escalator, immediately ran the moment he heard the screams.

All he could think about was running.

Run!

If he didn’t run, he would die here!

The monkey was absolutely certain that there were zombies on the fourth floor, and perhaps even the fifth floor.

The commotion on the third floor indeed attracted the attention of the zombies on the fourth and fifth floors.

The zombies that smelled the scent of food also tried to rush downstairs.

But after turning into zombies, they had lost their human intelligence. They only knew that the area ahead was a way down, so they climbed over the railing and fell straight toward the first floor.

One zombie after another tumbled down.

Before the monkey could even reach the first floor, numerous zombies had already fallen from the fourth and fifth floors and crashed onto the ground.

They writhed for a while, seemingly trying to get back up.

However, some had broken their necks during the fall and could no longer support their bodies.

Only Level Two zombies and above could barely get back up. Even so, their movements had become somewhat slower after falling from such a height.

Level One zombies could only lie where they had fallen, making gurgling noises as they struggled helplessly.

But as more and more zombies piled up below, they formed a natural buffer.

The zombies that fell from above struggled for a moment before quickly getting back up.

Then they frantically rushed toward the source of the noise.

The monkey was terrified when he saw this.

Just as the zombies were about to reach the escalator, the monkey suddenly burst forward, moving even faster than before.

He dashed out in an instant.

But how could the zombies let their delicious prey escape?

Naturally, they gave chase.

...

Lin Yun had found a window on the third floor that gave her a clear view of the square and the entrance to the mall.

She had been watching the area carefully.

She had already observed the square earlier and noticed that something seemed wrong.

There appeared to be something piled up in the square, but it was too far away for her to see clearly.

However, she was certain that those things had appeared after she left the square the previous day.

She and Song Xizheng had spent quite some time in the square yesterday, so she still remembered roughly what had been there.

Just as Lin Yun was wondering what those things were, a person wearing a white protective suit suddenly rushed out of the mall.

Lin Yun immediately leaned against the window and looked over.

After carefully examining the figure, she realized that it wasn’t Song Xizheng.

Then, a large number of zombies rushed out after him.

But these zombies looked strange.

Some of them seemed to be limping.

Although some zombies were missing limbs, there seemed to be far more injured zombies than there should have been.

Before Lin Yun could figure out what was happening, even more zombies rushed out from behind them.

"Hiss... Those zombies on the third floor can move now?"

Lin Yun suddenly understood.

"My goodness. Those people are really courting death."

Yesterday, neither she nor Song Xizheng had disturbed the zombies.

Judging from the time, those people must have disturbed them sometime between six in the morning and now, shortly after eight.

But exactly how had they awakened the zombies?

Lin Yun became curious again.

Driven by that curiosity, she remained at the window and continued observing the situation.

Sang Biao had already told her that there were six people in total.

Now, only one had escaped.

Five were still inside.

Lin Yun immediately imagined what had happened.

It seemed that the person who had escaped had simply abandoned his companions.

Inside the shopping mall, Scarface was still desperately dodging the zombies when he suddenly saw the monkey running away.

He was furious.

How could that bastard run so fast?!

Damn it!

That guy must have noticed something was wrong with these zombies long ago, yet he hadn’t warned them at all!

Traitor!

If Scarface managed to escape alive, he would definitely kill that bastard monkey!

The others were desperately dodging and attacking the zombies as well, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Although they possessed highly lethal weapons, there were simply too many zombies, and they were packed too closely together.

If they used those weapons here, they could easily end up suffering the consequences themselves.

"Damn it! Jump down! There are a bunch of zombies below that can’t move. They’ll give us a buffer!"

By this point, the zombies from the fourth and fifth floors had stopped climbing over the railings.

Many of the zombies that had fallen below had already been crushed to death.

As soon as Nine Pockmarks reached the railing, he shouted to the others.

The remaining four people’s eyes lit up.

They immediately followed Nine Pockmarks’ suggestion and began moving toward the railing while avoiding the surrounding zombies.

The zombies surged toward them, but because the survivors were constantly attacking, the zombies couldn’t get too close.

This gave the group a brief chance to catch their breath.

However, before Scarface could even climb over the railing, a sharp claw suddenly pierced through his back.

Scarface didn’t even have time to react.

The claw ripped straight through his body and tore out his heart.

Scarface fell from the third-floor railing.

The zombies that remained below immediately swarmed him, pouncing on his body and biting into him frantically.

Nine Pockmarks was completely stunned.

He had clearly seen the sharp claws pierce through the boss’s body, but he hadn’t seen what had attacked him.

What was that?!

But he had no time to think about it.

He had to escape!

After quickly calculating where to land, he jumped down without hesitation.

Although the pile of zombie corpses below provided some cushioning, he still landed awkwardly and injured his leg.

Nine Pockmarks gritted his teeth, endured the pain, got back up, and ran outside.

Those zombies would eventually climb over the rubble and come after them.

If he didn’t run, he would die!

Yes!

He couldn’t run toward the same exit as the zombies.

He had to find another way out!

Meanwhile, the bespectacled man had lost his glasses long ago.

He was severely nearsighted, and without his glasses, everything around him was blurry.

He glanced around frantically.

The zombies were already too close.

He had no choice but to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, when Nine Pockmarks climbed down, he brought several zombies with him.

And when the bespectacled man climbed down afterward, there were already zombies waiting below.

There was nowhere left to escape.

Death was all that awaited him.

In the end, he escaped three times...

and died three times.

The hand that had ripped out Scarface’s heart slowly raised it to its mouth.

Then it began tearing into the heart.
