Rebirth of MC Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Survivors

When Huo Zaiyuan finished laying the barriers, Long Zhanye has already brought the villagers into the mall, leaving the three vehicles outside . For additional protection, Huo Zaiyuan sticks on another Aura Concealment Charm on the entrance doors of the shopping mall after closing it tight .

"We'll rest here for the night . I have already laid arrays all throughout this entire first level . As long as you don't run amock, no matter what other dangers lurk in this building, nothing will be able to harm you . We will be able to reach the safe zone tomorrow, so bear with this for a while longer . " Huo Zaiyuan states blandly .

"Little Yuan, you are saying…there are still some man-eating monsters in here?" The village chief's complexion turns slightly green after listening to the youth's words .

For the entire journey since they left Y Town and reach X City's outer district, they didn't come across any zombies . However, he is still very much terrified of those man-eating monsters, and even more afraid of becoming one of those freakish things .

"I don't know . We've just finished killing all the zombies in this mall and discovered a locked door in the underground basement . It wouldn't open no matter how hard we hit it but we suspect there may be survivors or zombies within . " Huo Zaiyuan answers .

"Then…then what should we do? If there are survivors inside, we cannot simply leave them there . But if it is monsters…" The village chief hesitantly gives his opinion .

"Little Yuan and I will handle this matter . Village chief Uncle, you and the villagers just focus on protecting yourselves . It's already late and we've been on the road for the whole day . Go and have something to eat . Don't starve yourselves . " Long Zhanye walks up beside Huo Zaiyuan to reassure the middle-aged man .

"Okay . " Hong Wangcai nods his head . "The old madam of the Chen family made some delicious cornmeal biscuits . I'll ask her to bring you some later . "

"Thank you . "

After the group of people finish their meal, Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye and Li Qing prepare to head down to the underground basement and take a look at the locked room, leaving Qin Jun behind to rest and recuperate from driving for the entire day .

The trio comes to a halt before the tightly shut steel door . Standing on either side of it, Huo Zaiyuan and Li Qing ready their weapons while Long Zhanye lifts a hand to knock the door lightly .

Shortly after the noise rings out, a faint sound can be heard from the other side . Even as it dies down near instantly, it is pretty evident that something inside was alarmed by the knock . But that split-second isn't enough to determine if zombies or humans lay within .

Exchanging a mutual glance and a nod with Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye knocks on the door again, then inquires . "Excuse me, is someone in there? Answer if there is . "

If the beings inside are human, they will definitely reply once they hear another survivor's voice . If it is a zombie, there will be no answer since the undead cannot understand speech, which will negate the need to get this door open .

"There is . There's someone in here . You…are you here to rescue us?" A tiny voice drifts out of the gaps between the door, but it is impossible to tell if the speaker is a male or female due to their hoarse tone . "Outside…those monsters…"

"Those monsters have already been slain . " Long Zhanye replies .

"Slain…slain…that's good…very good…quickly move those things . We're going out . "

The voice fades, replaced by the sound of things being moved . Very quickly, the steel door is pulled open, revealing the sickly pale face of a frightened man .

"You…you are…"

"We are just passing through here and are resting in this shopping mall for the night . We discovered this room's door locked shut and so decided to take a look, that's all . " Long Zhanye explains in a flippant tone . "Are you all the staff of this mall?"

"Eh…a few of us are staffs, the rest are customers . When…those monsters appeared, we ran into this mall, but they appeared in here as well so we…finally hid in here…" That man explains in a small voice . "Those…just what kind of creatures are those things? Why would a human turn into that?"

"We also do not have a clear answer to this question . There are a few villagers outside with us who will be heading to X City's safe zone tomorrow . Do you want to come along?" Long Zhanye asks .

"Vi - villagers…of course, of course . We will come along . "
