Chapter 51: The Zombie King
Chapter 51
"Is it really here?" An Cairou was somewhat surprised.
She hadn't expected that the legendary Interdimensional Space, said to contain vast resources, would look like such an ordinary place.
But then again, it made sense.
If it looked obviously magical, others would have surely discovered it long ago.
"This crappy warehouse still needs a key to open?" Gu Mingyu sneered. "Couldn't any random Supernatural Ability just blast it open?"
Gu Wanyin's lips curled into a cold smile as she said, "You're welcome to try."
Suddenly, Gu Mingyu felt a bit intimidated. He glanced at An Cairou, who then said, "I guess the warehouse's appearance is just camouflage. Since it needs a key, Supernatural Abilities probably can't open it."
"Also, once we're inside the warehouse, there's an entrance on the second floor - an iron door that also needs this key. That's how we'll enter the Interdimensional Space," Gu Wanyin explained matter-of-factly.
An Cairou gave Gu Mingyu a meaningful look. He immediately took the key and went to unlock the warehouse door.
But he still hesitated and said to Gu Wanyin, "You go in first."
"Such a big man, yet so cowardly?" Gu Wanyin mocked him mercilessly.
Gu Mingyu felt embarrassed, but he still didn't dare to enter first. He could only bark at Gu Wanyin menacingly, "Hurry up and get in!"
Gu Wanyin walked in nonchalantly.
Seeing this, Gu Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
An Cairou and Gu Chengyu became excited.
Soon, they would have access to vast resources!
They all followed into the warehouse. An Cairou watched Gu Wanyin's back, thinking to herself that once they entered the Interdimensional Space and saw the resources, she would definitely kill Gu Wanyin. Then, the hotel would be hers!
Inside the warehouse were many boxes and discarded items like old tires.
Gu Wanyin was already heading up to the second floor.
"Hurry up," Gu Wanyin called from the stairs. "You still have the key, and I can't open that iron door without it."
Hearing this, An Cairou and the others quickly made their way upstairs.
Just as they reached the second floor, they suddenly heard the warehouse door slam shut with a loud "bang!"
An Cairou frowned, a sudden wave of unease washing over her.
At that moment, she heard Gu Chengyu say in a low voice, "This is bad!"
Then, they heard a sound that chilled them to the bone!
It was unmistakably... the low growl of zombies!
An Cairou covered her mouth in fear and quickly hid behind Gu Chengyu.
At that instant, numerous zombies sprang out from behind boxes, pillars, and other hiding places, snarling and clawing!
Moreover, these zombies appeared to be high-level ones!
"Ah!" An Cairou screamed, "What's going on? Why are there zombies here?"
She suddenly realized something and turned to Gu Wanyin in fury: "It was you! You deliberately led us to this place, didn't you?"
Gu Wanyin's lips curled into a mocking smile as she said scornfully, "An Cairou, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for letting greed blind you."
An Cairou was so angry her eyes turned red!
She had indeed been too eager for abundant resources, and that desire had clouded her judgment!
Moreover, Gu Wanyin's acting had been impeccable!
The calm Gu Wanyin now was a completely different person from the panicked one who had discovered the missing key earlier!
And that key had been given to her by Ning Jie...
Wait a minute, that meant...
"Ning Jie betrayed me?" An Cairou roared. "Has she gone mad? Has she forgotten that I still have her sister? When I get back, the first thing I'll do is kill her sister!"
"That's assuming you make it back," Gu Wanyin said coolly.
"Boss Gu, have you lost your mind?" Gu Chengyu gritted his teeth as he killed a lunging zombie. "Do you intend to die here with us?"
"Die together? You're overthinking it," Gu Wanyin laughed. "The only ones dying will be you."
An Cairou had been hiding behind Gu Chengyu the whole time, and then she made a shocking discovery. Although Gu Wanyin had been standing there the entire time, the zombies seemed to completely ignore her as if they couldn't see her at all!
Not a single zombie attacked her!
And there were more and more zombies appearing. It seemed this place was some kind of zombie gathering point, and Gu Wanyin had deliberately led them here!
Gu Chengyu, Gu Mingyu, and the other high-level ability users began fighting the zombies, while An Cairou could only keep hiding behind Gu Chengyu.
After all, she only had a level two Supernatural Ability. She didn't dare to face so many high-level zombies.
Moreover, for so long, she had grown accustomed to being protected by the Gu brothers...
Looking at Gu Wanyin, who was calmly watching from the sidelines, An Cairou was infuriated!
Although she didn't dare to fight the zombies, she could still kill Gu Wanyin!
She suddenly lunged towards Gu Wanyin, intending to use her Supernatural Ability to kill her directly!
However, when she was just a few steps away from Gu Wanyin, she suddenly found she couldn't move!
Her feet seemed glued to the floor, and she couldn't use her Supernatural Ability either!
Gu Wanyin remained standing there, unmoved, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain as she looked at An Cairou.
An Cairou was on the verge of going insane!
Why couldn't she do anything?
Now, in Gu Wanyin's eyes, she must look like a complete fool!
"Watch out behind you," Gu Wanyin suddenly said with a smile.
An Cairou froze for a moment, not understanding. Before she could react, something grabbed her hair violently, yanking her to the ground and dragging her across the floor!
"Ah!" An Cairou screamed, "Brother Chengyu, Mingyu, save me!"
Gu Mingyu and Gu Chengyu, who had been fighting zombies, quickly turned their heads at An Cairou's scream. Their faces paled at what they saw!
The zombie dragging An Cairou was enormous, about twice the size of a normal person!
"That's... the Zombie King!" Gu Mingyu exclaimed in terror.
Even Gu Chengyu's face showed a rare expression of fear.
Although their Supernatural Ability levels were high, they stood little chance against the Zombie King!
"Save me, please save me!" An Cairou wailed miserably.
But the Gu brothers began to hesitate!
By now, several of the high-level ability users they had brought along were dead, though many zombies had been killed as well.
The warehouse was filled with the thick smell of blood.
An Cairou was now in the clutches of the Zombie King. She struggled desperately, screaming, but to no avail!
Gu Wanyin felt a bit nauseated and didn't want to watch anymore. There was a window nearby, and she opened it and jumped out.
It was only the second floor, and with the system's protection mechanism, she landed safely.
As soon as she touched the ground, she heard An Cairou's agonized screams echoing from inside the warehouse.
