Chapter 274 The Dead Open Their Eyes

“What!? You must be kidding me, Fatty!”

I clearly remembered that old man’s eyes were closed just now. Fatty’s words made my hair stand on end instantly.

“Who’s kidding you? It’s true! Come and take a look if you don’t believe me.” Fatty was a little anxious, his reaction to my skepticism was somewhat excessive.

Even Rouyi and Jennifer corroborated, “It…it’s true…he really has his eyes open.”

My scalp went numb instantly. At this moment, I just wanted to get out of the pile of seated people and go to Fatty and the others.

Just as I was about to move, Fatty pointed at a person sitting cross-legged next to me with a trembling finger, and stammered, "Young Master…the person next to you had his eyes closed just now, but now…now his eyes are open."

The position Fatty pointed to was right next to my feet. I looked down and was so frightened that I almost jumped up.

"Holy crap!!!"

The people sitting cross-legged by my feet all had their eyes closed, but in the time it took for Fatty and me to talk, their eyes had all opened.

Fatty and the others really weren’t joking with me.

Moreover, the vitreous bodies of these seated people's eyes were turbid, and their pupils were lead-gray—these were dead men's eyes.

Although these people's eyes were open, there was no expression in them at all, and without exception, they revealed an aura of death, eerie and terrifying, which further confirmed the fact that they were dead.

Could they possibly be "living dead"? I suddenly remembered the "living dead" legions sealed in transparent walls by the monster "Zanbi Jia" that I had seen in the Himalayas.

At that time, I had the Pinsu Stone protecting me, and I was infinitely powerful, immortal and indestructible, dealing with "living dead" as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

But now, Fatty, Rouyi, Daoqi, and I are all ordinary people. If these seated people are "living dead"—I glanced around, the seated people extended in a whole row behind the old man in the plain robe, arranged in an inverted triangle, and the people a little further away were hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.

I roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred or so people sitting behind the old man in the plain robe, both visible and invisible.

If they suddenly resurrected and attacked us, we wouldn't be able to deal with them at all.

Moreover, if they were manipulated by monsters like "Zanbi Jia" behind them, then our situation would be even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, I quickly gave Fatty and the others a hush gesture, telling them to keep quiet so as not to alarm anything else.

After confirming that it was safe, I tiptoed from the pile of seated people towards Fatty.

I was extremely nervous, and my legs were shaking non-stop as I walked. I was afraid that these dead people would suddenly reanimate, so I was very careful and cautious, walking and looking around, and occasionally glancing at these seated people.

If I hadn't looked, it wouldn't have mattered, but as soon as I looked, I got goosebumps all over my body, and all my hairs stood on end.

Damn it. As far as I could see, at this moment, all the seated people were looking at me in unison.

At first, they all had their eyes closed, but now they not only opened their eyes, but also turned their heads towards me.

"Mommy!"

I screamed, completely disregarding what was happening around me, and rushed to Fatty's side in one stride. My heart was pounding wildly, and I was momentarily flustered.

With only one step left to go, Fatty stretched out his big hand and pulled me out of the pile of people.

The old man in the plain robe and the people sitting behind him were all staring at us intently at this moment.

"This scene…is a bit familiar." Fatty stammered, "Back in the Himalayas, that's how those 'living dead' woke up."

Fatty's words made me a little alert, and sweat was dripping from my palms: "Fatty, this place is too weird, let's get out of here quickly."

Fatty also slapped his thigh: "I also think we shouldn't stay here for long, let's go!"

So, Fatty and I immediately turned around and strode away in the opposite direction from these seated people.

Rouyi, Jennifer, and Daoqi followed closely behind us.

Countless eyes were staring at me from behind, giving me a feeling of needles on my back. I was both worried and afraid.

Fatty walked faster and faster, and I felt that Fatty was single-mindedly trying to escape this place.

But the environment here was too dim, and the faint green light at the top couldn't provide a good lighting effect at all.

We are now like headless flies, not knowing where to go, and can only avoid dangerous factors as much as possible.

Suddenly, we heard rustling sounds behind us, as if something was moving.

I tugged on Fatty's clothes and asked, "Fatty, did you hear that?"
