“No, we have never heard any crying before. We patrolled everywhere during the day, and hadn’t seen anyone else in the fishing village. Unless someone had wandered over here and hid during the day and avoided detection from us. With the current thunderstorm, they’re probably scared being by themselves and ended up crying,” the chubby Liu Hao also suggested.
“What does the Kingler sound like? Can we assume that this weeping sound was used to deceive us into coming out?” Liu Gan asked everyone after a moment of silence.
“It couldn’t be, right? This thing produces such an unpleasant sound, a kind of hiss somewhat similar to the sound of loud bellowing… To imitate this kind of crying, it would have to be a female crab,” Treadmill replied after thinking about it.
“Female crab! Cut your bullsh!t!” Both Liu Hao and Yuan HongJun, who were sitting on the bed, kicked Treadmill.
“All of you stay here for now and don’t go anywhere, I will go and have a look at what’s going on,” Liu Gan told them, then called for Yin He to go outside. They traced the source of the faint crying sound and moved stealthily towards its direction in the fishing village.
“Liu Gan’s courage is truly great! He’s not afraid of anything,” Treadmill looked at Liu Gan’s fading back and admired it.
“Liu Gan has never truly been afraid of anything. When you have followed him for longer then you will slowly learn. He isn’t human. He is omnipotent, a demigod. Also, all the decisions he had ever made have never been bad. So following him is your fortune.” Zhang Hua aptly helped to brainwash the several team members. As for if it had any effect, only time could tell. Besides, Zhang Hua had also been brainwashed completely by Zhang ShengLi beforehand.
It was raining heavily outside, with the occasional thunder and lightning. The rainwater poured down the jagged rocks at the top of the cliff and flowed downward towards the sea. The fishing village was much more lower than the one on top of the cliff. Moreover, there were no large trees or the like in the village, so the chances of being hit by thunder and lightning were low.
The crying sound seemed to come from the direction of the village center. From Treadmill and the others’ description of the village, there should be an ancestral hall there. It was a place where the people of the fishing village would offer sacrifices to their ancestors. During the day Liu Gan had passed by the ancestral hall’s door, but didn’t enter it.
After getting closer to the sound, Liu Gan could finally hear it clearly. The crying sounds really did come from within the ancestral hall. The crying sounds were off and on, and they seemed to be similar to that of a teenage girl.
But a girl who appeared in the middle of the night, in the ancestral hall during a thunderstorm, would not be good news. It was still undetermined if a variation zombie could transform their shape to bait perverted predators. Seeing the girl crying would cause your heart to go soft and lower your guard, and then you would be bitten to death.
Fortunately, Liu Gan had always been cold-blooded and ruthless at all times. He was never the type to be a knight in shining armor, therefore this trick had basically no effect against him.
The ancestral hall had two doors, one in the front and the other at the back. Liu Gan signalled to Yin He that he would go through the front door, and for her to go around to the back door. If something happened inside, whoever was in front of the zombie would distract it, while the one behind the zombie would take care of it.
Liu Gan took out a flashlight and after kicking open the ancestral hall’s main entrance, he shone the flashlight inside. The light shone on a young girl squatting in a corner of the ancestral hall. She had school bag on her back and appeared to look like a middle school student. When she saw Liu Gan charging in, she started to shriek at once, and only stopped when Yin He had dashed in and struck the back of her head.
