Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

"call……"

Luo Tian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

While I felt uncomfortable about this, I wasn't surprised at all.

He seemed to be asking where he found it, but he actually already knew when he sneaked in to investigate.

"Hehe, not bad."

Hai Ge, who had been observing Luo Tian the whole time, saw that Luo Tian only had a furrowed brow and a slightly pale face, but was not too frightened. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm pretty good at judging people. When I took in that kid Gouzi, he was so scared when he found out about this that he screamed and trembled all over."

"Isn't this unnecessary?"

Luo Tian ignored Hai Ge's words and instead pointed to the dining table: "Although there is not much food in the city and it is a bit difficult to find, it has not come to this."

This is also the reason for his confusion.

Such things have happened before in history; during great famines, instances of people exchanging children to eat were commonplace.

This phenomenon will certainly occur in the apocalypse, but only when people are desperately starving and have no other choice.

The key question is how long has it been since the zombie virus outbreak?

It's only been a few months; every household or large supermarket should have some leftover food. It's far from being this outrageous.

"You don't understand."

Hai Ge glanced indifferently at the table full of food: "If there's food already there, who would want to go looking for more? If there's meat, who would want to eat vegetables?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Hai Ge pointed to the dining table and turned to Luo Tian: "My way of recruiting people is very simple: give them a good meal, and they'll be one of us."

"..."

Luo Tian's gaze instantly darkened.

His hand, hanging down, unconsciously gripped the dagger.

Hai Ge didn't urge or threaten him; he just waited patiently in silence. This wasn't the first time he'd taken in a subordinate, so he had to give him some mental preparation.

Time passed, second by second.

Luo Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, remained motionless.

This wasn't the internal struggle Hai Ge had imagined; he was simply waiting for the system's judgment.

Eating is absolutely out of the question; he's not crazy.

He would rather abandon the mission than eat this stuff.

Fortunately, the system didn't drag things out for long this time; the facts were already laid out on the table, and there was no need for further delays.

[Ding! Judgment complete.]

[Target: Du Hai.]

[Judgment: Clean up.]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Luo Tian immediately felt relieved.

He really didn't want to give up halfway unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the search points he had used would be wasted, and all the time he had spent on the process would be wasted as well.

Turning around, Luo Tian faced Hai Ge: "Your name is Du Hai?"

"After we've eaten, we're family now, so call me Brother Hai."

Hai Ge also turned around and looked over. His smiling face made the scars on his face look squeezed together, ugly and ferocious.

He assumed that Luo Tian had prepared a feast and that he would soon have a powerful general under his command, so he didn't even think about why Luo Tian knew that his surname was Du.

The two stood face to face, very close.

"it is good."

Luo Tian smiled too.

In the next instant, the dagger in his hand suddenly sprang up.

"Pfft!"

A sound of flesh piercing.

At such close range, with a sudden attack and the opponent completely unprepared, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.

The dagger plunged accurately and forcefully into Hai Ge's heart, penetrating to the hilt.

At the same time, Luo Tian quickly rotated the handle, which was equivalent to stirring it around the heart, ensuring a fatal blow that would kill instantly.

"Snapped!"

Luo Tian drew his dagger, took two steps back, and kicked him to the ground.

The movements were swift and the wrists sharp, executed in one smooth motion without any hesitation.

The five people who were carrying food didn't even have time to react, and they all froze halfway, staring blankly at the sudden scene.

While everyone was still stunned, Luo Tian was preparing to retreat.

But the foot that had just been lifted stopped abruptly, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

wrong!

The system will immediately notify you that the mission is complete after each target is killed.

But this time, my mind was completely silent.

This situation clearly means that the task has not been completed.

So they killed the wrong person?

But what are the chances that Hai Ge isn't actually called Du Hai?

Besides, Hai Ge is the leader and mastermind of this group, so the mission wouldn't abandon him and choose a small fry instead.

Then, only one possibility remains.

"Brother Hai has completely miscalculated this time."

"I've disliked this kid for a long time."

"Kid, you really don't know what's good for you."

"I'm offering you the best food and drink to curry favor, and you still refuse? You're practically asking for trouble!"

"How should we deal with this kid later? He's got such delicate skin, should we boil him? Or stir-fry him?"

In the distance, the five men calmly and leisurely put down their cutlery, grinning maliciously as they picked up the weapons scattered around them.

They turned a blind eye to Hai Ge's death, and didn't even bother to look at him.

The young man named Gouzi, who was originally guarding the gate outside, didn't even go inside to check. As if he knew what had happened inside, he slammed the gate shut and locked it, then walked in carrying a blood-stained machete.

upstairs,

The three men who were originally on business also appeared at the top of the stairs, one hand putting on their clothes and the other holding a knife, looking down at the living room and laughing:

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen such a bold idiot."

"Kid, you'd better be able to fly and disappear into the ground, or you'll soon become a dish."

"Haha, this time I'll make sure he's still alive when I remove his parts, so he can witness his parts being cooked."

At the dining table,

Luo Tian ignored these perverts.

His gaze remained fixed on Hai Ge's corpse.

Sure enough, Hai Ge on the ground wasn't dead. Amidst the shouts of the crowd, he stirred and slowly stood up again. Scarface's face was full of gloom as he coldly stared at Luo Tian: "You shameless bastard! Didn't you ask me before why I wasn't afraid of you suddenly killing me? The fact that you have no motive to kill me and that you would die if you did is secondary. The most important point is that I didn't say it, and I'm not going to tell you my secrets as soon as we meet. See?"

Hai Ge pointed to the knife wound near his heart and shouted fiercely, "I...can't kill you!"

"A superhuman?"

Luo Tian frowned, as if he understood something.

Hai Ge's heart was stabbed and twisted; a normal person would certainly die without a doubt, with no chance of survival.

But the other person survived, and the blood flowing from the wound was not red, but jet black.

"A superhuman? That does count as a superpower."

Hai Ge raised his hand and beckoned, catching the machete thrown to him by his subordinate. He then turned to Luo Tian and sneered mockingly:

"I was bitten by a zombie, but instead of getting infected and becoming a walking corpse, I gained immortality."

"And I can also pass this ability on to others, so that those I bite will not die."

"Also, if you encounter zombies, you won't be attacked."

"Like I said before, follow me, and this isn't the end of the world, it's paradise!"

"In a city overrun by zombies, we can move freely and do whatever we want."

"Once I have a large enough army under my command, we can rule the world!"

"It's a pity you ungrateful bastard! I gave you a chance, but you failed miserably!"

"We've arrived here."

"You could have been sitting at the dining table."

"But you just had to choose to appear on the menu!"
