All five of them were hiding underneath cars, their eyes were fixed on the unfinished building surrounded by a group of zombies. They didn't know what was inside that interested the zombies so much.

"There's a person inside. They seem to be in trouble." Gong Lixin approached He Jin and whispered in his ear.

The warm breath tickled He Jin's ear and he thought he smelled a unique fragrance from the other's breath even when there was no such thing. His expression became stiff and so had his lips. He asked with his eyes instead: How do you know?

Gong Lixin pointed to his ear, indicating that he heard it.

Soon, the truth revealed itself. They heard faint screams coming from the unfinished building, the panicked wails were filled with despair. Obviously, there was a living person inside and the sound they made attracted many zombies. The zombies' hearing was very sharp so they had noticed the sound almost immediately.

He Jin looked at Gong Lixin differently. This child's hearing was comparable to those beast-like zombies! What he didn't know was that compared to what Gong Lixin was truly capable of, these zombies were mere flies.


The screams got louder and louder, and soon a man with a dirty and ragged appearance appeared. He stumbled and ran towards the iron gate, followed by a single zombie. It was obvious the two men were originally homeless people who lived in that unfinished building. One of them had changed into a zombie and the unaffected man became his prey.

The beggar wanted to climb the grills of the iron gate and get out of the secluded area. He went up to the front but saw the group of zombies waiting outside of the iron gate. He glanced back, then in front before he yelled at the sky and fell to his knees in despair. There was no escape ahead and he would just get chased by remaining here. The homeless man shed tears, his legs going soft and he continued kneeling on the ground. He had given up on running.

He was desperate to live, but it was better to die.

The zombies roared continuously because though fresh food was close at hand, they were unable to reach it. The zombies outside of the gate could see, hear and smell but they couldn't touch their food. A few zombies in front of the iron gate began to get mad. The homeless zombie quickly ran up to pick up his food while the crying sound attracted more zombies to the unfinished building.

The homeless man was completely immersed in despair at this moment and was only waiting for his companion to swallow him. He didn't even bother resisting.

"His crying will lead more zombies here. And when his friend tears him open, the smell of fresh blood will spread and the building will be flooded with hordes of zombies." He Jin said in a low voice. It was hard to find a perfect temporary resting place, so it was normal he was in a bad mood.

Under another car, Wu Ming, who was only a few feet away from He Jin, was somewhat anxious and whispered, "What do we do? Do we just wait here or do we try to save him?"

He Jin's face was cold. "There's no way to kill the zombie chasing the homeless man and trying to save him would cause too much noise." He whispered to Wang Tao on the other side, "Lend me your axe."
