121 The Little Girl (1/2)

”Hmm? The map says it's here” Leo murmured to himself as he gaze at the three story house in front of him.

This is the only house within the surrounding mile, it was located within a forest.

”It looks a summer house for a rich family” Leo said as he jumped over the wooden fence and started looking around the surroundings of the house.

There were really not a lot of things outside except for the overgrown weeds growing around the house but there is a small vegetable garden around a hundred square feet located at the back of the house with vegetable plants already full grown on it. There's tomatoes, cabbage and carrots planted on it.

Leo stood in front of the small garden and started looking around like a thief.

”Hehe, free food. Don't mind me if I take it” Leo laughed happily like a little kid as he started picking the vegetables and throwing them inside his Inventory.

”Now then, let's go check that ”thing” inside” Leo said while looking at the blinking green dot in front of him and then he grab the door knob of the back door and twisted and surprisingly, the door was open so Leo immediately walked in inside and closed the door behind him silently.

Then Leo started searching and taking things of use around the first floor but seeing that the he still hasn't found what the thing or person in this place, he immediately headed towards the second and did the same thing.

”It seems it's in the third floor” Leo said as he stuff pillows and blankets into his Inventory and even the mattresses and bed wasn't spared before heading towards the third floor.

Upon reaching there, he immediately saw two rotten corpses lying on the wooden floor.

”So that's where the rotten stench is coming from” Leo said and he opened his navigation map and then looked at the only room within the third floor.

Leo started walking over to the room but when he passed by the corpse on the ground, it suddenly came into life and grabbed his right leg.

”Ahhh~!”

A piercing cry suddenly reverberated throughout the surroundings.

”God! That almost suck the life out of me!” Leo was gasping for breath with a pale face and with his hand leaning on the wall, looking incredibly frightened.

”Damn, if this place was a haunted house then I would have given you guys a five star rating with that kind of a jump scare” Leo said as he took a deep breath while looking at the zombie trying to crawl his way through the floor towards him.

”Good thing I came alone or it would have been very embarrassing if they saw what happened here” Leo said gloomily as he walked over to the zombie before stomping its head into a pulp.

”It might have just turned, that's probably the reason why the navigation map didn't pick up on it earlier” Leo said in conclusion on why the this corpse that just turned into a zombie wasn't scanned by the navigation map when he just got here.

Leo then looked towards the other corpse, it was a mangled corpse of a man leaning on the wall wearing only beach shorts.

Leo took out his pistol and shot it in the head before heading towards the room, Leo tried to turn the doorknob but it was locked so he just slowly pushed the door until the spot of the doorframe where the lock was placed, broke and so he pushed the door open and then he walked inside and just stood there and scanned the place.

It was surprisingly a child's room, there was a bed in the middle, stuff toys scattered everywhere, a small cabinet in the corner and what is more surprisingly for Leo is that he saw an almost shrivelled body of a child lying quietly in the middle of the bed.

”Wait..don't tell me it's this thing?” Leo said as he walked over to the side of the bed and stared at the almost shrivelled body in the room after he finished looking around the room and discovered that there is no possible hiding places inside and only then did he realized that the ”thing” he is looking for is the one lying on the bed all this time.
