Thump-thump~
A faint sound of footsteps came.
"Who's there?" Da Yong quickly turned around, but a long blade was already at his throat.
"Don't move," Wan Nian threatened, holding the long blade against the man's neck.
Xiao Ma and Wang Ge, who were behind, also approached Yuan Zhong and Xiao Kui.
Yuan Zhong, holding a spear, said nervously, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Clang~
Yuan Zhong was suddenly attacked by a man from behind, and the spear in his hand was knocked to the ground.
The man then pinned Yuan Zhong to the ground.
Xiao Ma also kicked the standing man and said, "Go over there and kneel."
After Da Yong and Yuan Zhong were subdued, with blades at their throats, they dared not resist, and Xiao Kui, who was nearby, obediently squatted down.
Only then did Wang Ge slowly say, "Why were you so panicked just now? Is there something behind this door?"
Da Yong pointed to the long blade at his neck and said, "Can you please remove this first?"
Wan Nian, who was nearby, heard this and pressed the blade closer to his neck. Under the sharp long blade, Da Yong's neck was cut, and a trace of blood seeped out.
Da Yong quickly said, "No, no, no, I'll tell you."
"Inside are all zombies. We escaped from here at that time, and after we came out, we sealed this place. I didn't expect this big iron lock to be opened. Was it, was it you who opened it?"
Da Yong looked at the five people surrounding them with some fear; these five people exuded a fierce aura.
Wang Ge's face turned very bad when he heard this. They had gone to so much trouble to open the iron lock, and now they were being told there were zombies inside? Was he playing a joke?
He didn't want to believe a word this man was saying now. Was he joking with them?
Wang Ge said unhappily, "You go and push the door open. I'll see. If you lied to me, then you all will die."
Da Yong quickly said, "Don't open it! There are zombies inside; if you open it, they'll all run out!"
Wang Ge said impatiently, "It's so cold now; the zombies have all turned into ice pops. Open it quickly. Stop talking nonsense."
Da Yong trembled all over, turned to look at Xiao Kui, but Xiao Kui did not look at him.
Wan Nian pushed him and said, "Hurry up, what are you doing?"
Da Yong stood up from the ground, his hands trembling, about to push the iron door open.
Behind him, Wang Ge and Xiao Ma, among others, were pulling Yuan Zhong and Xiao Kui, moving them away from the doorway.
Wan Nian felt a little scared seeing this scene.
Although he didn't believe it either. But couldn't they stand not so far away?
Whoosh~
The iron door was suddenly pulled open, and sunlight shone inside.
Inside, there was a dense crowd of zombies, but their surfaces were covered with a layer of white frost, standing there motionless.
Under the sunlight, the zombies closer to the door showed slight signs of movement. Da Yong and the others did not notice any of this.
Da Yong was so scared by the sight of so many zombies that he immediately sat down on the ground.
Wan Nian, who was behind, was very brave.
Although he was also shocked by the scene before him, seeing these zombies motionless, he felt relieved.
During this heavy snow, it was not the first time they had seen such frozen zombies.
He pointed his long blade at Da Yong on the ground and said mockingly, "What are you afraid of? These zombies aren't moving."
Da Yong looked closely. Oh, indeed. They weren't moving.
Wang Ge and the others further away also saw the zombies behind the door, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see. It made their hair stand on end.
However, seeing that these zombies were motionless, they finally relaxed.
But just looking at them was still very creepy, as there were simply too many zombies.
If they could all move, then they would probably all be finished.
Wang Ge thought about it. According to what they said, this door had been closed for over a year, meaning many supplies inside had not been searched.
Although they had seen frozen zombies several times before, the zombies in front of them did not have ice frozen on their surfaces.
Moreover, the current temperature was not like a month ago, reaching minus forty degrees Celsius. In the past two days, around noon, the outdoor temperature could reach around minus ten degrees Celsius.
He was unsure if these zombies would wake up at this temperature.
Because of these concerns, but also wanting to get the supplies inside, and not wanting to take the risk himself, it seemed he could only let these people try.
So, Wang Ge said to Yuan Zhong, "You and that man, go in and search for some supplies. We'll wait for you at the door."
Yuan Zhong and Xiao Kui both shook their heads and said, "We're not going. What if these zombies wake up?"
Wang Ge glanced at Xiao Ma, who swung his long blade at Xiao Kui, directly cutting off half of Xiao Kui's hair.
Yuan Zhong quickly said, "No, don't hurt her! I'll go, I'll go!"
Xiao Kui, who had just been scared half to death nearby, looked at him touched and said, "Yuan Zhong... you..."
Seeing Xiao Kui in tears, Yuan Zhong's resolve grew even stronger: "Xiao Kui, I can do anything for you. You wait for me outside."
Xiao Ma said impatiently, "Damn it, stop dawdling! Hurry up! Talk about this after you come out."
With the blade at his neck, Yuan Zhong dared not resist and gave Xiao Kui a loving look.
Xiao Kui said with encouragement in her eyes, "Go. I'll worry about you."
Yuan Zhong nodded, and with a determined, sacrificial demeanor, he walked towards the door.
Wang Ge stood behind, shouting from a distance to Wan Nian by the big iron door, "Let those two go in and find things. We'll wait for them outside."
After hearing this, Wan Nian tapped Da Yong with the back of his blade and said, "Did you hear that? Don't force me to kill you. Later, you two go in and find things. If you don't find anything, don't even think about coming out."
Da Yong said fearfully, "The temperature has risen now. What if these zombies wake up?"
Wan Nian's heart stirred slightly. He had actually thought of this just now. To search for supplies, they had to go inside, which was a bit dangerous.
But before he could think clearly, Wang Ge offered a solution: just let those two go in and find them.
Wan Nian held the long blade against his neck and said, "Don't worry, these zombies are all frozen and won't move. Just go in, find the things, and come out, and I'll let you go. Otherwise... hmph hmph."
Wan Nian pressed the long blade in his hand closer to Da Yong's neck again, and blood seeped out once more.
Da Yong quickly said, "No, no, I'll go, I'll go."
Seeing Yuan Zhong walking over, Da Yong shouted towards Xiao Kui, "We're going in! You must be good and wait for us to come back!"
These words were spoken loudly.
After the iron door was pulled open, the zombies illuminated by the sunlight showed even more noticeable movements.
The zombies' chests began to rise and fall slightly. The frost on their bodies melted into water under the sunlight.
However, they did not see any of this.
In the distance, hearing Da Yong's words, Xiao Kui nodded vigorously, tears in her eyes.
