Chapter 31 (1/2)

In the moonlight they were ragged, like refugees.

Of course, there wouldn't be any refugees travelling in the middle of the night.

These people were surprisingly pale, but their eyes were glowing red.

More or less, there were signs of muscle decay, and even more severe, bones that were already white.

They were living corpses, humanoid monsters.

Likes to move in the night, capturing humans and all living creatures for food.

Now the corpses were staggering along the road.

Behind them, even more living corpses walked out from the direction of the Silver Tree City.

”Thirty, maybe more.”

he said worriedly, setting down the infrared telescope.

Teddy said nervously, ”What then? Shall we leave now?”

”No, we'll talk about it later.”

Zero direct negation.

Naturally, the living corpses did not come out for a stroll. However, there was no food outside Silver Tree City. It was impossible for such a large group of living corpses to come out solely for hunting.

There hadn't been many living corpses in Silver Tree City two years ago.

After killing the living corpse leader and the butcher as a thug, the original social system had been destroyed.

Without a leader, living corpses without control would either die fighting amongst themselves or travel further away from Silver Tree City.

These thirty or so living corpses should be all that was left of the Silver Tree City.

Now that the living corpses had left their nests, rather than hunting for food, it was more appropriate for them to migrate together.

There was no longer any food left in Silver Tree City that could provide the living corpses with the necessities, unless they ate their own flesh and blood like an old living corpse from Lingcun.

Otherwise, due to hunger, the remaining living corpses would definitely have internal strife, and the surviving corpses wouldn't have been able to live much longer.

These living dead would use the night time to travel.

In the daytime, they would hide in the shadows, or simply bury themselves in the ground until it was dark and they would continue their journey.

It was an unknown journey, ending maybe a few kilometers away, maybe a few thousand, maybe.

There was no end.

Who knows?

The campfire had gone out and everyone was hiding in the cars.

As long as there were no accidents, there was a high chance that the migrating corpses would ignore them.

But the army of living corpses was approaching the road in the direction of the farm, and they all tensed.

Zero frowned. A living corpse was a monster with a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing. If these people were nervous, their body temperature would immediately rise.

If they made any more noise, they would have no choice but to fight the living corpses.

Even though with their strength, it shouldn't be a problem for them to wipe out these thirty or so living corpses.

However, this way, Zero could not guarantee that there wouldn't be any casualties.

At the very least, the weaker women and children would find it difficult to escape from the living corpses.

The living corpses were busy on their journey, so they didn't notice that a green car was parked beside the abandoned farm not far away.

As a result, the people in the car let out a sigh of relief as they saw the living corpses pass by.

However, the God of Luck seemed to suddenly leave.

He sniffed at something, because a live corpse in the middle of the line had suddenly stopped, and then turned around and headed in the direction of the car.

Then, the living corpse left the group and waddled towards the farm.
