Don't follow the rules

Chapter 500: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Part )
"Wh…what's going on?"

The color on Gao Yang's face faded away in an instant. He held his neck stiff and his body was rigid. He did not dare to turn his head to look behind him. He could only stare at Ning Yao tremblingly, hoping that his elder brother could give him some comfort.

Ning Yao lived up to expectations and ran away.

"Hey!"

It was the almost inaudible sound of a door opening hidden beneath the loud shouts.

The cold storage door, which was originally locked by an iron bolt, had quietly opened at some point, and a wisp of damp and cold air leaked out from the crack of the door. As a human being, Gao Yang's hair stood up all over his body before he saw the danger with his own eyes.

But the unknown fear behind him was not enough to make him weak. The escape of his elder brother in front of him was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Just as Gao Yang was about to raise his legs to keep up with Ning Yao's steps, he was lifted up by Ning Yao's tentacles that extended from his lower back in time.

"For the sake of the crack line, big brother will save your life again. Let the tentacles entangle you and don't struggle, so as not to get hurt." Ning Yao ran forward without looking back.

Gao Yang, who was lifted half a meter off the ground, shook his helpless legs in confusion. It took him half a second to realize that he was held in the claws of something. Just as he was about to scream, he saw a vast expanse of humanoid bodies behind him.

From the door that was only opened a little over ten centimeters, activated humanoid bodies gushed out like a tide.

The humanoid bodies that were supposed to sleep forever seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and they started to crawl slowly, and then gradually became agile and nimble. They struggled to get up from the shelves in a posture that violated the natural structure of organisms and ergonomics, with twisted limbs and facial features as calm as standard masks.

Then, all the bodies in the cold storage were inexplicably awakened. They broke out of their nests like newborn spiders, and swarmed towards the door in layers along the ground, walls, and ceiling.

Gao Yang wanted to scream out all at once, but he found that his throat was so stuck that he couldn't make any sound. The fear pierced his spine like a sharp ice, making his whole body cold. His muscles were tense, and his vocal cords could only make a funny rubber duck quack.

However, those bodies with dead white fluorescence all over their bodies are not really dead people without five senses, so they can easily capture the movements of prey in the dark and approach the prey at an astonishing speed.

Their limbs moved in a very uncoordinated manner, seemingly stumbling, but in fact incredibly fast.

Each step was accompanied by the clacking sound of climbing the wall and the creepy sound of flesh rubbing against the body itself.

The two are intertwined, full of rhythm and melody, like a toneless symphony of death.

Perhaps only when it reaches this level can it be called a "tide of corpses" in the apocalyptic plot.

Yi Dan licked his lips excitedly and wiped the sweat from his palms on the corner of his clothes: "Why didn't you take out this good thing earlier?"

The planner just smiled and didn't stop looking up the information. "It's mainly a bit wasteful. After these bodies are activated, they can no longer be sold as 'new and unopened'. Apart from the necessary losses in the next battle, the remaining parts, even if they are very complete, can only be recycled as ghost story parts, or sold as 'second-hand goods'."

Yi Dan understood: "Wow, this is a big deal."

The planner shook his head modestly: "I dare not take credit for it. I am just being generous to others."

Yi Dan chuckled twice in a gloating manner, and approached to ask: "Others? After all this time, these bodies are not yours? Whose goods are they? You look cautious, but you are doing things that will land you in jail. You dared to embezzle public funds just to please me, your boss~" The planner did not seem worried: "Emmm... In a sense, it can't be considered 'public funds'. At most, it's a bad debt. Ahem, this is Lu Jia Chong's order."

The "tide of corpses" surged over, firmly locking onto the fleeing Ning Yao and Gao Yang. No matter how they moved and turned at sharp corners, they could not get even a little bit away from the army of corpses behind them.

Even this distance is shortening visibly.

Ning Yao had given up using human legs long ago. His lower body spread out like ink, and there was only black mist where he passed over the ground, in an effort to minimize frictional resistance.

Gao Yang was completely numb. He couldn't scream, couldn't run away, and couldn't faint. He was half-dead and held high by a tentacle, with only his hands still stubbornly maintaining the posture of playing with a rope.

"I'm stupid, really."

He muttered to himself with dull eyes.

"I only knew that underground garages were prone to haunting, and that ghosts would catch people and trap them in the wall. I didn't know that underground cold storage could also be haunted."

"I came to the mall early in the morning and encountered all kinds of monsters. To protect myself, I recognized a murderer as my big brother, hoping that he could protect me a little. I never thought that the big brother was actually a killer with a tentacle bigger than my face..."

"Shut your dog mouth!" Ning Yao could no longer bear it, and took the time out of his busy schedule to swing his fish tail and give Gao Yang a big nose. "You think of me as a mount, right? I'm running so hard, and you're riding on me leisurely and talking to me?"

After being slapped in the face, Gao Yang finally came back to his senses and looked up blankly.

“Ahhhhhh!!! Bro! Bro! They’re catching up!!!”

"I fucking saw it!"

At this moment, Ning Yao, who was carrying Gao Yang and fleeing for his life, could no longer be said to be running. It should be said that he was flying close to the ground. But even so, they only kept a distance from the frontmost body, and the tide of corpses behind them still followed closely, without being thrown off at all.

Not only is the zombie tide fast, its destructive power also gradually becomes apparent during the chase.

Although the open space in front of the cold storage is spacious and flat, it is still equipped with necessary lighting and fire-fighting equipment in accordance with normal human decoration standards.

Wherever the tide of zombies passed, no matter whether it was equipment, installations, columns, or buttresses, everything except the load-bearing walls was razed to the ground, and their speed did not slow down at all. It can be said that destroying everything they encountered was "easy" for them.

The bodies activated by Yi Dan using the game controller are different from those activated by normal means. Apart from having a personal appearance, they do not possess any human characteristics, no consciousness, no reason, no sense of pain, and no fear.

This is a zombie-like swarm of bees controlled by Queen's pheromones.

The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.

"Here it comes." Ning Yao said.

When the zombie tide has approached close enough, they launch an all-out attack without any thought.
