The zombies gave off a strong illusion that they were regular human beings.
Li Ran took out her gun and pointed it at the zombies. She just needed to fire a few bullets and everything would be settled. It was that simple.
However, she was unable to do it.
Li Ran took a deep breath and looked carefully at them again. They really had grayish-white, lifeless eyes.
She took a few steps back and fired her shots at them.
One by one, the zombies fell to the ground.
Then, Li Ran took a look inside. She could not find anyone.
It was then she spotted a pig that was running in circles.
Li Ran rushed over to take a closer look.
The pig ignored her. It just kept running in circles.
Shortly after, it lay on the ground and closed its eyes.
The pig pens in the farmhouse were arranged in a long row. In the middle, there was an aisle. One could not see the end of it at a glance. There was even a small room not too far away.
She walked towards the room and a pungent smell rushed out as soon as she opened the door. This was due to the withered grass and pig feed that was stored inside for a very long time.
‘Bam!’
Li Ran closed the door.
She looked at the pigs nearby that were still alive. Their trough was filled with grass mixed with pig feed. Clearly, someone had put it there.
Li Ran did not find anything crucial on the first floor.
She continued to walk deeper into the farmhouse. It was really like a large factory.
Some pigs were dead while others were alive.
A couple of the dead pigs had even been butchered.
Li Ran took a detour and went to another room.
Before she could reach the door, she heard a noise. It was the sound of endless knocking.
‘What’s going on?’
She got closer to the door.
Someone must be on the other side. Either that or it was another zombie.
Li Ran was about to push the door, but it opened automatically.
Two zombies appeared. They stood still and stared at Li Ran.
Their clean appearance made Li Ran suspect that they were in the same situation as the zombies she had encountered earlier.
Li Ran took a quick glance inside. The layout of the room was exactly the same as the previous room.
It was really strange.
Li Ran raised her gun and was about to finish the zombies off. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a hoarse voice could be heard.
“You still want to kill them? You’re really a cold-hearted woman. However, you can’t kill these two. If you do, you won’t be able to find the people you’re looking for.”
Li Ran was stunned.
She looked around but there was no one.
However, the voice was quite loud, as if it was close by.
“Don’t waste your time on me. You want to save your friends, right? Then come and clear my test. If you succeed, I’ll set them free.”
Li Ran stayed silent.
The two zombies did not move as well.
Finally, Li Ran asked, “What test?”
“You’ll find out once you come in. By the way, before this, someone else from your organization came. He failed, and you killed him earlier.”
“…”
‘How does he know so much?’
“You all have a similar card on you. That’s how I know you’re working together. Come in. Your friends are waiting for you inside.”
Li Ran hesitated for a moment. She looked at the two zombies before putting away her gun. Then, she asked, “Are they still humans?”
“Of course not. They’re my pets.”
Li Ran was confused.
“Pets?”
“Yes. My pet zombies are very obedient. They’re nothing like the filthy zombies outside.”
Li Ran had yet to enter the room.
She said impatiently, “Stop wasting my time. You can’t escape anyway..”
