C43 (2/2)

”What's wrong, Lv? Hurry up and go, maybe you'll have to open the door upstairs! ” I didn't think much of it, because we didn't look any better.

”Ah?” ”Oh, oh …” Lv hurriedly replied and followed along.

There were no locks to unlock upstairs. Every room was open and the layout was dull. There was a corridor in the middle and an office with glass partitions on the left and right. But as soon as we went up the stairs, through the south window, we saw something that surprised us.

The guy who had climbed up the flagpole was still hanging on it like a lonely monkey!

We went into an office and opened the window facing the square and looked out. The man, who seemed to be a master, was climbing at the very top of the flagpole, much higher than the one we were on on the second floor. He had wrapped a belt around his hip and tied it to the flagpole, forming a triangular support point with his hands gripping the flagpole so that he didn't have to use so much effort to hold on to the flagpole, but now he was visibly weak and his arms clutching the flagpole were visibly trembling. Beneath him were layers and layers of Zombie in a circle. From our point of view, those squirming, dark heads looked like a bunch of flies on a mouthful of phlegm.

His head was covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair. However, he didn't shout for help, he probably knew that it was impossible for us to charge past the heavy Zombie s and save him, even if we shouted for help.

I shook my head, unable to bear to look any longer, and found a seat for myself. I couldn't help but to groan. I could feel almost every part of my limbs aching, especially the biceps, the triceps, and the gastrocnemius of my calves. It was as if they had turned to stone and were convulsing.

I took in a breath of cold air and ground my teeth as I kneaded these muscles. Then, I saw the three people from Ren's family crying on one side, two males and one female. The older one looked to be in his thirties, and looked extremely similar to Ren. The woman was about the same age as him, and her face was intentionally painted black. It was hard to tell her face. The other man was very tall, but his face was very young. He was at most seventeen to eighteen years old.

”Heh …” Just as I was thinking about it, San Mao who was by my side suddenly nudged me with his shoulder and winked at me. Then, he got up and walked out.

”Do you feel that there's something wrong with Lv?” Just as he walked out of the office, San Mao hurriedly said.

”I don't have any …” ”Huh?” I looked in the direction that he pointed, only to see Lv slumped on a large chair, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

”It really is strange …” I muttered to myself, Lv was probably a ”thief does not go astray” profession, every time he enters a new place, the first thing he would do would inevitably be to rummage through the boxes, I had never seen him sitting there absent-mindedly like today.

”Do you think he was bitten?” San Mao muttered.
