Chapter 16: An Unexpected Gain
The palatial hall is filled with all kinds of 'guests' at this time.
There were men and women, old and young, and even a few guests who looked like Europeans, wandering aimlessly in the silent halls.
The rotting skin, and the godless eyes, some of which were almost falling off, were all signs of the identity of these 'guests' - zombies.
Looking at their aimless appearance, you know that there are no living people in the vicinity.
For any creature with the breath of a living person is inconspicuous under their sense of smell, which does not degenerate as much as the other organs.
"It's like this...... ' the merchant looked at the various zombies that suddenly turned his head to stare at him, grinning silently.
"Let's try your current actual combat effectiveness, if you can't know yourself and your opponent, at least you have to be a 'confidant'."
The merchant pursed his lips and bent down slightly, his hands that had been transformed into sharp claws naturally hung down at his sides.
Bend your knees and build up.
A muffled sound of "bang ......" came from the floor where he was standing just now, but the merchant was no longer there.
"Whew!" "Whew!" ……
The sound of meat being cut echoed through the empty hall.
At the same time, there was the ugly roar of the zombies, and the excited laughter of the merchant who seemed to be trying his best to suppress it.
The exuberant battle made him not even notice the +10 words that kept flashing in his diary......
Sharp claws, agile movements, coupled with keen senses, and strong strength, make the merchant feel like a fish in water among this group of zombies, and his beautiful posture is dazzling in the "dance of battle".
This almost one-sided battle didn't last long, which made the merchant who had just entered the state a little unhappy.
"I was so scared by this kind of weak chicken that I didn't dare to go out, and sure enough, after the actual battle, it was different from the recruits." The merchant said with emotion.
However, as soon as he finished sighing, the merchant found that the situation here was not the same as he thought.
It's not that there are no living people here, at least the little girl curled up in the corner, covered in dirt, is definitely not a zombie!
At least the smart eyes, and the unusually fresh and smooth skin compared to the zombies, showed that she was not an ordinary brainless creature like zombies.
"Little sister, it's time to go home!" The merchant walked straight to the staircase to the top floor, only to say to the little girl on the way.
Neither helping her, nor lending her a helping hand, or even looking at her, walked up the stairs with unusual indifference.
"Thank you...... Small...... Brother ...... "Little Luoli, who looks like she is only ten years old at most, seems to have been frightened too much, and she doesn't say it very smoothly and intermittently."
It's like a three-year-old who has just learned to speak!
'I don't have the qualifications to let you thank you......,' the merchant said with a wry smile in his heart, 'I can't lend a helping hand to those in need, and sure enough, there is something wrong with us in this world!' ’
Although his heart was dripping with bitter blood, his footsteps did not pause, and he still moved forward firmly.
"We ...... Will it ...... See you again...... Is it? The little girl seemed to say with some urgency, but it made the whole sentence even more broken.
"If you can keep alive, we'll meet again one day!" The merchant said.
Then it disappears around the corner that leads to the safety staircase......
"Live...... Under...... Go ......," the skinny girl said intermittently, but this time her tone was full of determination.
Then he straightened up with difficulty and walked out, and no one noticed that the girl's back was close to her shoulder, and there was a huge and horrible scar, and the skin tissue that seemed to be an ulcer made people look sick.
He then began to search for the target through the safety staircase, one by one, until the merchant finally found the target, or the suspected target's body, in an office on the top floor.
The entire lower half of the body was almost gnawed away, leaving only some dull blood stains on the bare bones, and only a few scattered musculature of indigestible internal organs remained in the upper body.
The only reason that made the merchant think that this corpse was his target was that only the face that was still intact, even if a few pieces of flesh had been bitten off, he could barely restore his original appearance between his eyebrows.
"Does that mean I've completed my mission?" The merchant took out his phone with curiosity and took a few photos, but suddenly it occurred to him that there seemed to be no way to pass the photos over, so he turned around and left the luxurious office full of blood and body wreckage.
However, just as he stepped one foot out of the doorway, his keen eyesight allowed him to see the scene outside a window out of the corner of his eye.
'Unexpected bonus, hopefully something interesting. ’
Although it was only a cursory glance and did not make it clear what was actually going on, the human beings who appeared here in groups at such a time could not be seen simply because they were looking for food or anything.
At least a dozen humans gathered together to act, whatever they were doing right now was not an ordinary thing.
Especially in this world full of lies and desires, human beings who have just undergone all kinds of upheavals will not trust their own kind so quickly. Even before the cataclysm, they had a very good relationship.
For such a strange team, the merchant master's curiosity rose, and after standing still and thinking about it, he quickly turned into a large reptile that looked like a lizard.
Come to the window, open it, and just crawl out of the window unprepared.
The palm with the membrane was gently pressed against the wall, and although it was light, there were still dozens of kilograms of body as if it had broken away from gravity, suspended in mid-air against the wall, and its head was flying down extremely quickly.
'The chameleon form has no attack power, but it is still very advantageous in climbing. ’
This is the second deformation form that the merchant has finally decided to use after so many days.
The stealth ability of near-optical camouflage, as well as the ability to climb steadily, is a very important auxiliary deformation ability for merchants.
At the same time, the merchant's eyes, which had become round and wide because of the deformation, were always staring at the corner where the group of people had disappeared just now.
Following the ground and the wall, the merchant quickly came to the corner where he took out.
It's not a good idea to say it's a corner, but to be precise, it's actually a relatively private library, which belongs to the kind of library that is very typical for readers who like to read quietly.
