Chapter 547 - 9.17 He Will Not
He sauntered out of the elevator with a relaxed posture, Lu Yizhou and Pan Wei following behind him. After a while, Professor Lou spoke again, "Now that you two have decided to follow me, you have to listen to my orders, understand? I will be making decisions from now on—ah!" Professor Lou rounded a corner and cried out in shock, his whole body petrified. "Z–Zo—"
In front of him, the corridor that was supposed to be empty was littered with countless zombies!
They hid in the dark shadows, utterly silent with their bloodshot eyes staring greedily at the food in front of them. Professor Lou had analyzed the zombies for these past few days; they would constantly be moving despite the presence of humans in front of them and with their jerky movements, their feet would shuffle against the floor and produce sound of friction, no matter how small it was.
That was why Professor Lou never noticed anything this time. The zombies in front of him were too quiet! It was like... It was like they were laying in ambush and deliberately waiting for them!
Professor Lou was so frightened that his legs turned into jelly. His fat body toppled to the ground, the bread scattered all over the floor. With thick dread and panic in his face, he scrambled back. "H–Help me..."
Beside him, Pan Wei was so afraid that he was paralyzed, a distinct smell of urine wafting from his crotch.
Professor Lou tried to crawl back into the elevator when a pair of long, slender legs appeared in his field of vision. His eyes lit up when he realized who it was. That’s right, Student Lu was strong. If it was him, then he would definitely be able to fight the zombies! Professor Lou grasped onto Lu Yizhou’s trousers like grasping onto a last straw, pleading with tears running down his face. "H–Help me! I... I will give you all of the bread, I will give you anything! Please... I don’t want to die!"
With a movement so at ease it was jarring against the peril they were in, Student Lu slowly crouched down. He reached out and patted Professor Lou’s shoulder. Hope reignited in Professor Lou’s eyes as he raised his head to look at Lu Yizhou’s face... but then, all he saw was a cruel and hostile smile.
Professor Lou was dumbstruck, an inexplicable dread rising in his heart. "S–Student Lu...?"
Subsequently, something more unimaginable happened. He saw Lu Yizhou lifted his hand and crooked a finger toward the crowd of zombies nearby and then... and then one of the zombies on the forefront actually came forward as though it was obeying his order! Colors drained from Professor Lou’s face as he stared at Lu Yizhou in unadulterated fear and horror. "W–What... What are you..."
Lu Yizhou leisurely moved his fingers to sign something. However, Professor Lou did not understand it. No, even if he did, there was no way he could comprehend anything in his current situation. His mind exploded in white lights and was utterly blank. He let out a terrified shriek when the zombie approached and tried to run away on all fours. Alas, Lu Yizhou suddenly clamped his shoulder in a terrifying grip, preventing him from going anywhere.
