Chapter 1229: Zombie Dance
Chapter 1229: Zombie Dance
“Click…”
Accompanied by the sound of glass shards being stepped on, everyone finally held their breath and carefully entered the Hotel. Compared to the carnage outside the door… the lobby here was noticeably much cleaner.
But the eerie feeling was not diminished in the slightest…
“Please tell me those won’t explode…” Xu Shuhan said with a conflicted expression.
At the same time, the others were all scanning what she was pointing at…
Corpses.
Quite a few corpses had been placed in different positions… some were hung up, some were tied up, and some were even cut in half…
Besides being dead, these corpses shared another trait… their eyes were all fixedly staring at the entrance…
“Twisted taste.” Ling Mo summed it up simply.
Gu Shuangshuang suddenly let out a scream, hiding behind the crowd in panic: “These… these corpses…”
“What is it?!” Everyone immediately felt their scalps tingle and retreated.
Skinny Monkey, who had pressed his ear to the ground after entering, quickly raised his head and shook it at Zhang Xincheng, who was watching him closely: “I haven’t heard anything wrong…”
“No… that’s not what I meant…” Gu Shuangshuang said, her face pale, “These corpses… there are exactly as many as us. If you count… count the one that just exploded… it’s exactly the same!”
“Really?” Xia Na immediately scanned the area, then turned her head, “Yeah, she’s right. There are exactly thirteen corpses here, corresponding to thirteen different ways to die. If the enemy is hinting at our fate… then that corpse just now probably stands for Ling-Ge.”
Rustle!
Everyone’s gaze instantly swept toward him…
“Hey, hey, don’t look at me like I’m about to blow up any minute…” Ling Mo felt his scalp go numb under their stares and quickly said.
“I just want to say… even if that day comes, I will never let you die in vain…” Black Silk licked her lips at Ling Mo with a serious expression.
“Me too…” Li Yalin added with the same look.
“So now you two are in perfect sync…” Ling Mo was stunned… Senior Sister’s comprehension had suddenly taken a huge leap!
“Alright. Even if that’s what the enemy means… is he trying to make a death announcement?” Ling Mo waved his hand and said.
“So these are the thirteen methods the enemy will use against us? As for Ling-Ge, this guy plans to give him some extra corpse abuse or something…” Xia Na nodded.
Everyone nodded in agreement… made sense!
“I feel like the point you all agree on is kind of weird…” Ling Mo muttered to himself, then fell into thought, “But maybe that’s exactly what the enemy wants, they want us to think this way…” ṛἈNȮ𐌱Ε𝙨
Just like the tricks they used at the start… making Ling Mo and the others jump into the trap even though they knew it was one…
“Anyway. Let’s take a good look at these corpses first.” Ling Mo said.
“Are there any bombs in these corpses?” Mu Chen asked, a little scared.
Skinny Monkey shook his head: “I didn’t hear anything… but even if there were, I’d sense it before we got close enough.”
He was quite confident in his Superpower now.
“That’s good…” Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just passing through that door was disgusting enough, let alone wandering in a sealed space full of meat chunks… no thanks.
“A death announcement, huh…” Ling Mo walked forward along the wall, carefully observing the corpses.
Just as Xia Na said, the ways these corpses died were all different. Not only the number, but even the gender matched Miracle Squad exactly.
“They’re afraid we won’t get the message…” Ling Mo sneered inwardly.
Of the twelve corpses inside, seven were incomplete. The remaining five were all male…
“Looks like this Grim Reaper has a deep grudge against women…” Yuwen Xuan crossed his arms and mused.
“Really…” Black Silk squinted at the smallest corpse, “This one is even strung up…”
“Doesn’t have to mean you.” Yu Shiran leaned over and said, “She has a chest…”
“…True.” Black Silk was silent for a second, then shrugged.
After a round of observation, everyone’s faces looked grim.
Ye Kai clenched his fists, making a clicking sound as he said, “That flat-top’s butt… was split right down the middle!”
“Flat-top doesn’t have to mean you!” The group was speechless.
So that’s what you’re angry about!
“Right, don’t project blindly.” Ling Mo narrowed his eyes, “As for the enemy’s perverted behavior… I won’t comment. But this disgusting act aimed at us won’t affect us. Want us to die like this? Let’s see who ends up like that…”
“Actually, you’re the one who cares most!”
“After all, in the enemy’s plan you die the worst…” After nodding, Ye Kai and the others suddenly realized…
“There are three exits here… not counting the Elevator, there’s a staircase to the second and third floors. Those two places are the banquet hall and Meeting Room. There’s also a fire passage that goes straight from the bottom to the top floor.” Although everyone tried to keep things light… when it came time to act, they all felt a sense of life-and-death crisis.
Not to mention the gruesome corpses… the enemy’s confidence was enough to make anyone feel a bit wary. But everyone also knew, the enemy understood them so well. Just as Ling Mo said… their eyes were hidden somewhere, watching them.
The more so, the less they could show panic…
“Where’s the music coming from?” Ling Mo asked.
“Third floor…” Skinny Monkey said confidently.
Li Yalin and the others nodded.
“Any other sounds?” For these subtle details, Skinny Monkey’s Superpower was key. Li Yalin and the others had strong hearing, but Skinny Monkey’s was a different kind of strength. In fact, for most sounds, Skinny Monkey’s Superpower let him gain the evolved Zombie ability on top of being human.
Meanwhile, Gu Shuangshuang was constantly Sensing, and after just a short while, she was already pale from not missing a single detail.
Hearing Ling Mo’s question, she quickly shook her head: “I didn’t Sense anything…”
“Actually… me neither… or rather, there’s nothing anywhere… at least I can’t hear anything. If the enemy was going to ambush us, it shouldn’t be this quiet.” Skinny Monkey replied.
“So… is this just to lure us in?” Zhang Xincheng looked up and asked.
“Let’s wait and see.” Ling Mo answered calmly.
Outside the door… on a power pole opposite the Hotel, a black shadow invisible to the naked eye stood there, a pair of eyes like flames sharply watching the surroundings.
“Who… are you really?”
In this trap meticulously prepared by the enemy, maybe only this way could the hidden mastermind be truly drawn out…
“Creak…”
“Be careful…”
The group instinctively spread out a bit, slowly walking up the stairs.
But just after they went upstairs, a strange sound suddenly came from the Hotel lobby.
Then, in the midst of a cheerful melody, one of the corpses lying on the front desk, its neck twisted ninety degrees, suddenly twitched.
“Click click click…”
It slowly crawled up, keeping its head bent backward, swaying unsteadily in place.
Next, another corpse with only its upper half moved, she stretched out both hands and slowly crawled forward.
Then the third… the fourth…
Soon, all the corpses began to move…
As if dancing a bizarre dance to the music, they followed the path Ling Mo’s group had taken, inching closer to the same staircase…
