Chapter 41: A little ‘Scare’! (Part 2) (1/2)

Nile was descending the stairs from the 3rd floor when he heard a faint rustle under him.

Nile guessed that the commotion may have come from the underground floor. Well, it was quite obvious. He had already 'cleaned' up the entire Kanor Department Store, including the surrounding area. No zombies would appear on this place in a short amount of time.

So the only thing left that might have cause the rustle under him are people that are foraging some foods. And the foods are displayed on the underground floor.

He could also count on the possibility of some animals that are also scavenging for foods. All in all, that would still come on the underground floor.

Nile felt it strange though, he did not see any animals since the day he transmigrated here. Well, can maggots be considered as animals?

When Nile heard the commotion under him, an imaginary light bulb lits up inside his head.

”Let's scare them a 'little' bit.” He said while smirking.

Nile peeked on the underground floor and found that there are seven people in total. Three of them are holding a flashlight whilst the remaining four followed behind. He could not determine their actual gender or appearance as they are far from him and the flashlight's light ray only targeted the surrounding area. But base on the silhouettes, all of them must be a 'He'.

He returned to the appliances area and carried some fragile appliances before returning.

Nile then decided to wait on the stairs leading underground.

After a while, Nile noticed that the seven men are heading towards his direction. Their arrangement is like a pyramid. 1-2-4. The three men holding the flashlight occupied the 1-2 position while the 4 at the back is pushing some kind of trolleys or shopping carts.

When they are nearing the stairs, Nile throws a led light bulb three meters beside him. The noise of the light bulb shattering certainly reached his target's ears as the man in front suddenly halted. This caused a chain reaction and the people behind him stumbled on his back.

Nile felt amused by this scene.

He then threw a mini microwave oven, and the sound definitely reached their ears. Two men hugged each other and the four at the back inched closer towards the front. He then heard the flustered voice of the man in front.

”Wh..who is that?”

”Pfft. Hahahaha” Nile could not hold his laughter anymore and laugh out loud.

...

Ombit and the others upon hearing the laughter realized that they just got prank. Although two of them had already reached Level One°, the unknown is still the most terrifying.

As they calmed down a bit, Ombit pointed the flashlight towards the sound of the laughter, but because the flashlight's battery is already weak, the light it produced did not reach Ombit's desired target.

Ombit beckoned towards his group, and they walked towards the still laughing man. The four men pushed the shopping carts along with them.

As they got closer, the man had already stopped laughing. The three of them pointed their flashlight towards the man's location. There, they saw someone who is wearing a shirt, hoodie and a short. Half of the man's face is covered with a mask.

Although he is already wearing a mask, Ombit still recognized him as the young man from yesterday who literally trash them unconscious.

”Hey, isn't it a bit rude pointing your flashlight to someone?” The young man said while sitting on the floor.
