P.S. I didn't want to wait one a day. No one likes to wait when it's full of suspense.
Some of the falling zombies fell through the opening of the broken windows of the room. Even as the bottom half of the zombie was cut off, it relentlessly revealed the desire to eat as it bared its teeth at the players. Looking at the sickening view, a player took his axe and ended the creature's life.
This rain of zombies that covered the floor of this small district soon spread throughout the larger region. The border where the zombies haven't fell was nowhere in sight. On the ground at least ten layers of zombies were piled up.
"You said after you earned enough money, you wouldn't do express delivery anymore and spend time with me to watch meteor shower. Well not that we are finally spend time together, we can watch this rain of zombies. So romantic." Said Zhou JingJing to HuJun.
"Us being able to stay alive is the most romantic. As long as we stay alive, anything is possible. We might even get the chance to watch a real meteor shower." Replied HuJun.
After hearing these two flirt and the way they look at each other, even the most desperate person can't hold back their smile. Temporarily, they forgot their worries. Zhang ShengLi and Lee Miao also looked at each other. Lee Miao gently slid her hand into Zhang ShengLi's palm. Once Zhang ShengLi felt her presence, he closed his fingers interlocking with her fingers.
Yin He seemed to have comprehended that from observation. Then she looked at Liu Gan by her side. She also attempted it by lifting her cold small hands over at him. However, Liu Gan didn't notice. He was deep in thought as he frowned by looking outside at the zombie rain. So Yin He could only retract her hands back.
After the rain of zombies finally stopped, the zombies on the floor all stood back up. After surviving through the torment of the tornado, they were like wounded beasts and started producing terrifying roaring sounds.
If it were a normal human or him that fell from such high heights onto the meaty layer, they will die. If they don't die, they will be heavily injured. Without hospital care, death was inevitable. So these zombies that were able to stand up are truly resilient. Even after falling they were able to move smoothly as if nothing had happened.
"Maintain silence, don't talk anymore. Try not to make any sound." Liu Gan said and made a hand sign to move back closer to the room and away from the windows.
While the players were staring at the lovey dovey couple, they all stopped and moved back toward the wall when they heard Liu Gan.
As more zombies got up off the ground, they started stacking in layers at the more dense locations. So if any one of them in the apartment above made any loud noise, they will attract the attention of the zombies. Once that happens, they might swarm up the building. Either by zombie ladder or forced entry into the building openings.
Trapped within this destroyed building isn't similar to the time when he was trapped on the billboard. Since that billboard was a very slippery pillar so even with a zombie ladder it is quite difficult to reach the top. However with this building, every flight of stairs leads to the top.
Once a zombie starts climbing close to them, it might trigger a special type of roar that will alert the others. By that time, the players and survivors are doomed.
After the rain of zombie died down, the sky finally cleared up. The wind also got weaker. If a person was looking from afar at the scene, it is possible to tell that the tornado was dying down. While the tornado was in the process of dissipating, the fallen zombies in this district stayed in the district as the wind power wasn't enough to sweep them up again.
Within the district and the district outside, more and more zombies stood up from the pile. The ones that stood upright were the ones that weren't as injured and the ones that were stepped on were the ones heavily injured. This posed a huge problem for Liu Gan and his group. As they were trapped in within a room of a heavily damaged building. They had no means of escape.
Now that the entire district had zombies roaming around, the zombies that were stepped on didn't give up. As long as it could still move, it would fight and claw its way to the top.
Within the meaty layer on the ground, there were large amount of intestines and stomach laying around. This caused the air to become increasingly stinky. The pungent fragrant was enough to cause some people to pass out. This world was stinky enough without the street maintenance, but with this rotten smell of flesh adding to that mix, it gave Liu Gan and his group a whole new traumatizing experience.
With this scene, the whole district seems to be a living hell. Not mentioning the scene of countless zombies walking around, there were the bodies of flesh that they were walking on. If the player had less courage then they won't even dare of walking on it. It was more than enough to scare them to death, if not then to the point of vomiting.
"Elder Liu, what should we do now? Should we just remain here?" Zhang ShengLi whisper gently to Liu Gan as all others stared on. There was no doubt that they were trapped here without any means of escape.
This stench is not any ordinary stench. As long as it continues fermenting it will produce more poisonous gas and spread to the areas that supply clean air for normal people to breathe in. Even if the group doesn't move a muscle, they will slowly die from the fermenting poisonous gas emitting from the rotting flesh.
Liu Gan didn't make a sound, he was quietly thinking. This is his third time in game being trapped. This time it was clearly worse than the first two times.
The first time was when he was trapped on the billboard. Even on the billboard, if he continuously screamed the zombies couldn't climb up the pillar to attack him. The second time, was when he was on the hundred of meters high bridge. As long as he sat still, there wasn't much danger.
This time is different. Liu Gan and his group were completely trapped. The moment they make a noise upstairs, then the zombies below will start crawling toward the source and there was the problem of being slowly poisoned by the air.
He must think of a quick way to escape from this living hell. Otherwise, with this many people they were bound to create a noise and attract the attention of the zombies and by that time trying to escape would be difficult.
