After looking at the reflection in the glass, Treadmill lost himself for a moment. His pupils were dilated as he witnessed in the reflection of the glass a scene more horrifying than a Black-Spot Variant zombie.

In the reflection of the glass, it showed that Treadmill was the only one in the room. Liu Gan didn’t have a shadow or reflection at all.

Yet, Liu Gan was slowly walking step by step toward him…

He wasn’t a Black-Spot Variant, he wasn’t even Elder Liu. What was he? How could he be translucent in the reflection of the glass? This was something Treadmill couldn’t figure out.

In that moment, Treadmill was even more scared now that he had confirmed why Huang WeiTao had pulled him back.

Earlier, Huang WeiTao must have seen it in the mirror. For it to have been more horrifying than the Black-Spot Variant…WeiTao must have seen Han GuangMing talking to air in the mirror.

Treadmill rapidly pulled the trigger at Liu Gan. He quickly emptied his magazine, and all the bullets that struck Liu Gan produced a hollow sound, ting ting, along with gunfire flashes that lit up the room.

But Treadmill wasn’t able to hurt ‘Liu Gan’ at all.

Treadmill quickly threw aside the empty assault rifles, and pulled another assault rifle off his back. This time, he shot at the glass behind him. He created an opening in the glass behind him to escape from the communications room. Treadmill ran for his life toward the stairs to the top of the ship.

The second floor of the ship didn’t have light, but Treadmill didn’t dare to keep running recklessly. Treadmill looked back at the stairs that he came up from, and didn’t see the fake Liu Gan following. After a short period of waiting in the darkness, no one chased up the stairs from the first floor.

Could it be possible that Elder Liu was a spirit?

Is that why there was no reflection of him in the glass?

Or could it be his body changed in the process somehow?

Why didn’t he chase Treadmill up the stairs?

Could he went back into the reception hall to look at the situation there?

If Elder Liu saw that Han GuangMing had been killed, he would bring forth his fury. It would be unfathomable to think that Liu Gan would let him go. Being stuck on a stranded aircraft at sea, drifting aimlessly. the moment Elder Liu caught up to him, it would be over for Treadmill.

Now it was just a waiting game for Treadmill.

Now that Treadmill had more time to collect his thoughts, he realized he shouldn’t have shot indiscriminately at Elder Liu. Instead, he should’ve tried to talk things through first.

But…was that really Elder Liu? Or was it an imposter? Why didn’t the reflection show a shadow? Was it an ally or was it an even more advanced zombie than the Black-Spot Variant? That would explain why there weren’t any shadows!

What exactly was happening aboard the airship?

As Treadmill had his eyes glued on the stairs, from the corner of his eye he saw lights turning on for the entire floor.
