There were no windows along the hallway, and it was really dark, so visibility was low. The evacuation lights installed on the walls were glowing an eerie green, as if it weren’t already spooky enough in the stairwell.

Shen Chen walked ahead cautiously. Suddenly, a large door appeared in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and leaned against the heavy fire door, then slowly pushed it open with his hand.

A foul stench assaulted his nose, and countless arms stretched toward him like the tentacles of an octopus. Within a split second, the Black Blade was unsheathed and used to behead two zombies, and those zombies died in the blink of an eye.

Now that it had come to this, Shen Chen no longer suppressed his powers. A roar erupted from the depths of his throat, and the Black Blade emitted a murderous aura. If the zombies had any human instincts remaining, they would have scrambled away at the sight of this dangerous man.

With every slash of his blade, the badly decayed head of a zombie would fly through the air, leaving a trail of foul-smelling blood.

Shen Chen rose from the pile of bodies. Thanks to his formidable abilities, he had managed to kill more than a dozen zombies within minutes. These zombies had already died once when their mortal lives ended, but they had been given new lives as zombies. Alas, their new lives were also short-lived, as they were prematurely cut short by Shen Chen and his blade.

At this moment, the hallway was filled with the pungent odor of blood and decay. Shen Chen moved forward carefully. The second fire door closed behind him slowly, just like the jaws of a giant beast swallowing him whole.

At the blood-spattered wedding venue, on the collapsed stage, there was a bloodied wedding dress. But what remained of the bride was just scraps of flesh left behind by the zombies who had devoured her.

The previously pristine marble floor was also covered with blood, bits of flesh, and food. There was a mix of various dishes, rice, and a wedding cake.

What was even more terrifying was the baby zombies stuck in the baby chairs and the empty bloodstained baby chairs.

Shen Chen’s heart lurched. Thinking of how those infants had been eaten, he let out a deep sigh before starting to look around the wedding venue.

The four hundred plus zombies were attracted to the strains of the wedding march. Many of them had gathered underneath the speaker system, and over a hundred of them had their twig-like arms raised as they gyrated and howled in tandem with the music.

There were no traces of humans! And no sight of a zombified Pan Di or Li Qi! Shen Chen relaxed slightly. He was wrong about Zhao Ze, it seemed.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Shen Chen’s heart constricted again. All the zombies suddenly turned around at the same time, as if they had just sensed his presence.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixated on the same spot. The very next moment, the swamp of zombies started making their way toward Shen Chen.

‘Sh*t!’ Shen Chen’s scalp tingled. His stress levels had reached their maximum! Adjusting his speed, he got out of there and ran toward the fire door. He was no match for three to four hundred zombies!

Shen Chen could hear the loud footsteps of the zombies approaching him. They came in waves and followed closely behind him.
