Chapter 54: Raising Zombies
Once the door was closed, the little sunlight that came through the crack was completely blocked. The room was even darker than it looked from the outside. Thick curtains covered the windows, so the outsiders could not see what was going on inside. It was also pitch black inside. Zoe could not adapt to the gloomy room immediately. Once the door was closed, the fear of facing the darkness made Zoe subconsciously grope to the side and hold Suwan's hand. She felt relieved when she got close to Suwan. Suwan's hand was still pretending to be in his trouser pocket. Without a weapon on him, Suwan felt a little unsure and his palms were sweating, but it made Zoe feel warm. Because the room was too dark, it also gave Zoe a cold feeling, but Suwan made her feel much better by her side. It was like she was afraid of heights when she took a plane for the first time, but she was not so scared as long as she grabbed the corner of Suwan's clothes. Suwan seemed to have the magic power to make Zoe feel at ease.
Suwan gently stroked Zoe's palm a few times and wrote a few words with her fingertips. Her fingers scratched Zoe's palm, making it itchy and a little relieved. Suwan asked Zoe to stay where she was. Zoe knew she couldn't help much, so she squeezed Suwan's fingers hard, using this small action to warn Suwan to be careful.
Suwan closed his eyes for a few seconds and then opened them again, gradually adapting to the dark environment. Suwan could vaguely see the outlines of some furniture in the room, but Eddie was not in the room. Where was he? Suwan groped her way into the room. Her movements were very light, like a cat on tiptoe. Zoe only saw her figure passing by, and could not hear her footsteps at all. Zoe could not do what Suwan did. She was worried that she would bump into something and make a noise when she walked, so she simply stayed where she was and did not move, so as not to cause trouble for Suwan.
Suwan checked every room, but every room was quiet. Eddie was not in the house, as if he had disappeared after entering the house. Of course, a person would not disappear for no reason. Suwan had some guesses in her mind, and returned to Eddie's bedroom. She leaned down and listened to the ground with her ears. Sure enough, there were some small noises coming from below. Suwan listened very carefully. She heard that the sound seemed to be someone's roar, but because the sound was too soft, she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Is Eddie down there? Why did he roar? Did he become a zombie who lost his mind? The time it took for him to transform into a zombie was too fast. Suwan guessed and guessed in her mind. No matter how she guessed, she could only know the answer by going down. Suwan knelt on the ground and tried to feel the floor to find the entrance down there. Just as she knelt on the floor and was about to find the entrance, she heard footsteps coming from below.
There should be a building similar to a basement under the bedroom. The sound of footsteps came from the empty basement, and the sound became louder and louder. It was the footsteps of a man. It could be heard that the other party was standing under the wooden board where Suwan was kneeling. Suwan hurriedly crawled a few steps to the bed and lowered his body to hide in the shadow of the bed.
A wooden board was pushed aside where Suwan had just knelt and groped, and a figure came up from the basement stairs. Suwan hid under the bed again. Seeing his figure, Suwan recognized him as Eddie. Eddie's movements and postures were very rational and he didn't look like a zombie. Because the wooden board was pushed aside, the roar in the basement came up clearly. Suwan was too familiar with this sound, and immediately widened his eyes in surprise. It was the roar of the zombie's vocal cords vibrating, Suwan would not have heard it wrong.
After Eddie came up, he immediately pushed the board back. He didn't turn on the light. Even in the dark, he was very familiar with his home and didn't need a light. After Eddie came up, he walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen and fiddled with the dishes in the dark. Suwan immediately worried about Zoe in the living room. She regretted her recklessness at this time. She shouldn't have involved Zoe. She was a Belster. She had solutions when she encountered danger, but Zoe didn't. Zoe was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to resist. But Suwan was so close to the truth that she didn't want to give up. She decided to go down and confirm it first. She couldn't believe that someone would hide zombies in their home. Was he tired of living? As soon as Eddie left the bedroom, Suwan crawled out from under the bed and touched the wooden board that Eddie had just pushed up and pushed it away. As soon as the board was pushed away, the zombies in the basement roared louder. As soon as the board was pushed away, Suwan also smelled the disgusting stench. There was no mistake. Eddie had hidden the zombies secretly. Suwan couldn't figure out why Eddie did this. Suddenly, he heard running sounds coming from the kitchen. It was Eddie running over. He stood outside the bedroom, looking at the figure in the bedroom, and roared angrily: "Who are you!"
Suwan was eager to check, and forgot that once the wooden board was opened, the zombies in the basement would roar even louder. Eddie stared angrily at the figure kneeling next to the basement entrance in the bedroom, and reached out to take out his gun. This is the disadvantage of not having gun control. If everyone has a gun, once a small riot occurs, the situation will be escalated, and order will become a decoration. Suwan heard the sound of Eddie drawing his gun clearly. She was not as familiar with this house as Eddie, which was a disadvantage. Suwan had no weapons, and she was afraid that Eddie would shoot randomly and two bullets would hit Suwan and hurt Suwan. Suwan regretted it even more. She really shouldn't have brought no weapons. She really thought this was a safe city and completely relaxed her vigilance. If Instructor Will knew that she was so careless, he would definitely reprimand her severely! Alas, I don't know if I was really blinded by love!
