Ch 11 : Run!!

" Ge! " Hua Yun Chen's almost slipped, but thankfully, Shang Hao has a great reaction speed and managed to stop his ge from stumbling down the stairs.

A few excited groans are heard just 2 staircases below, signaling the zombies already hot on their heels, they couldn't afford to be careless now.

With a repressed anger, Shang Hao kicked the locked staircase to the 3rd floor, then hurry up to drag his ge toward the staircase, they have to climb another floor again.

Unlike Shi Xiao, whose fever already starting to go down in 3 days, Hua Yun Chen's fever burned even more fiercely, after 5 days without good foods or drinks, his face flushed from fever already can't be disguised. Even if he can act like it was nothing, but he couldn't hide his condition being sluggish and inattentive. Last straw that broke the camel was last night, a survivor accidentally touched his arm and exclaimed that his skin is very hot. Since then, their situation started turning to downhill.

" Ge, hang in there! "

2 hours ago....

" Shang Hao, come here. " Hua Yun Chen commanded. He could feel his eyes heat up due to fever, he suspect his temperature might already gone up to 39° degrees, enough to go to hospital to receive an IV drips. But at the current situation, don't talk about going to hospital, even going to the basement to get a car is impossible.

A small team went down to scout down the situation, but after 3 days, no one come back. And there's no sign of a car going off to outside, meaning they are either trapped in the basement or already dead under a siege of zombies.

Since then, they sealed the emergency stairs to the underground.

Shang Hao unsuspectingly went over, but the other's eyes already staring at them, one brazen people even stare blatantly at his holster, making their intention obvious.

It's been 5 days when they first arrived here, although they have enough snacks to fill their stomach, but people are greedy. They joined the exploration team to flatter the owner of the gun, and lately, the owner of the gun didn't make much contribution, only telling his dog leg to move.

Then a rumor started going around, that that cold-looking boss is bitten by the zombie.

Of course, after an hour passed, the credibility dwindled down, but another rumor start to circulate, that this man is having a fever.

Remembering the first sign that feverish people turns into man eating monsters in the first day of the outbreak, they started to believe this rumour, but no one really dare to ask.

As for why, they are after all a survivors, they have witnessed the first hand that people turns into a zombie because some virus. So, in their inner consciousness, they thought, sooner or later, he will become one too.

Not only that, some people start to covet his gun, and starting to fantasize, if they have a gun, they can rule the world.

Of course, that's a joke. Why would some untrained people think they can handle a gun?

Hua Yun Chen sneered, they can think all they want, but he, Hua Yun Chen, won't fall just from this inexplicable fever.

Shang Hao managed to hide some foods and medicine, then they planned to use the staircase to go to the third floor. If they still hadn't opened the door yet, they will go to fifth floor.

Shang Hao remembered about the day before the outbreak, a young office assistant hoarding foods inside their office. The fifth floor is mainly for office assistants and finance department, so there must be at least a guarantee that there's some supplies in that floor. Plus, they actually never went through fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, and judging from how fierce the zombies are, there shouldn't be any survivors beside these two groups(oh, how wrong they are XD).

So without further ado, when the night falls, and all of the survivors are asleep, they went in hurry and silently.

But unfortunately, a survivor woke up in time and witness their secretive escape, and angrily shouts, waking up other survivors.

But Hua Yun Cheng couldn't be more care less, since they started to covet his gun and even secretly bullied both him and his brother from taking accessible supplies, their cooperation already couldn't possibly go on, and after stealing several foods, they sneaking out tonight or they definitely be miserably tortured here.

With a great fanfare, they rushed out to take back the supplies, and after 5 minutes of tugging back and forth, and unexpectedly, a scream broke out.

A survivor who near the staircase was grabbed by his clothes and dragged below, and before his dead, he witnessed as his arms, legs, torso, and face being clawed and bitten.

This greatly alarmed the survivors, they immediately couldn't be possibly pursuing the fact that Hua Yun Chen and Shang Hao stole their supplies anymore and scrambled back to their hideout, and when Shang Hao about to follow them, Hua Yun Chen pulled him back and pushed him to climb upstairs.

" What are you doing, run!! "

The second floor is out of question, they just raided the supplies, nothing left behind, so they can only try to go to the third floor, only to find the third floor being locked up.

" Those guys, why would they locked the emergency door! " He anxiously complained as he dragged his ge up.

" Its seems the pantry is open. " Hua Yun Chen concluded while pulling himself up with the staircase' rails.

" Ah? Is that so? " Shang Hao disbelievingly asked, " Why would you say that? "

" Otherwise they would definitely come down to look for people. " Hua Yun Chen slowly said while trying to control his breaths. That's true. One of the main point that led to separation is their group want to go downstairs to find the card, forcing the door to open.

But now that the pantry is open, they only need to lock the doors and wait for rescue with such abundant foods and water source.

At least, they could stay for a whole month or more depending on how they will manage the food distribution. But one thing for sure, sooner or later, they would definitely forced to come out.

The question is, which one is the better place, the 4th or 5th floor?

In case they are unlucky and choose floor that infested with zombies they had yet to clean up, then it will be their end, besieged by man eating zombie from front and behind. Miserable death and most likely turned into senseless man eating monsters.

No..., they won't die here!

Their determination to stay alive is burning vigorously.

At the same time, Shi Xiao heard something and looked down the staircase.
