"Speak!"

Hearing Duan Lei's words, Li Chenzhou stopped and turned to look at him.

"I observed the fifth floor just now. Most of it is restaurants, hot pot places, barbecue, Japanese food and other eating places. Although there are quite a few zombies, they are too scattered, distributed in various stores!"

Duan Lei pointed to the fifth floor and said,

"In this case, killing those zombies will waste a lot of time. I don't think it's worth it. The situation on the second, third, and fourth floors is similar, because there's this atrium, which makes the area of these floors at least half smaller.

"Also, we don't know when the Corpse King's summoning will end, so I think we should just clear the first floor. The first floor has the most zombies.

"Moreover, if we're on the first floor, I can go outside and get a car first, and put my sister and the others in the car. This way, you don't have to carry Xiaoya on your back. After all, they are zombies, and if you get scratched, it'll be troublesome."

Li Chenzhou leaned over and looked down, and found that it was indeed as Duan Lei said. Because the sixth floor was a cinema, there were many people in each screening room, so he enjoyed killing there.

However, the zombie density on the lower floors wasn't as high, and it would be a waste of time to search each store one by one, so he nodded and said,

"Then we'll go directly to the first floor. You wait in the car then, and if you notice anything, we can leave in time. But... be careful of those guys!"

Afterwards, the two came to the first floor together. Li Chenzhou followed Duan Lei outside and found a seven-seater van. Li Chenzhou directly broke open the car door, killed the driver who had already mutated into a zombie, and then opened the back door and put Xiaoya in first.

After helping Duan Lei put Duan Xue and Grey Bear on the car seats, Li Chenzhou threw the backpack in as well, taking only the Zhan Ren (battle blade). He nodded to Duan Lei, who had already entered the driver's seat, and entered the mall.

Because of the Corpse King's summoning, the outside was now quite empty, with almost no wandering zombies to be seen. However, some survivors who had been trapped quietly ran out after seeing the zombies leave.

From the moment the apocalypse descended, all remote signals were cut off. The internet, telephones, television, and everything else were useless. People who couldn't get any information had to force themselves to leave their relatively safe homes and enter this dangerous world, no matter how terrified they were.

Duan Lei also saw those survivors in the distance, but he ignored them, drove directly to the entrance of the mall, then got out of the car, took out his backpack, locked all the doors, and sat on the bench in front of the gate, waiting quietly.

He didn't stay in the car because the visibility inside was poor. It was better to stay outside, where he had a clear view of everything. He took out a bottle of water and a bag of bread from his backpack and began to eat, watching his surroundings.

At this time, Li Chenzhou had already started the slaughter. Duan Lei was right. The first floor was indeed the floor with the most zombies, and they were all gathered on the west side of the mall's first floor, which was also the direction from which Li Chenzhou and the others had come.

Looking at the three hundred or so zombies in front of him, Li Chenzhou wielded the Zhan Ren (battle blade) continuously. Zombies fell under the sharp blade, and because they were summoned, the zombies didn't turn back. They all roared and crowded forward, not noticing at all that a large number of their companions were being slaughtered behind them.

Just then, Li Chenzhou suddenly heard some noises behind him. He immediately took a few steps back and turned around.

In a store behind him, a middle-aged man in his forties was leading a boy less than ten years old out. Both of them looked terrified and were trembling as they looked at Li Chenzhou.

"There are no zombies outside now. You can leave quickly!"

Li Chenzhou pointed outside and said,

"But it's best not to go home. Find a way to get a car and leave the city. Maybe you can survive!"

"This... young man! Can... can we follow you?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Chenzhou, hesitated, and then asked softly.

He lived nearby. After having dinner last night, he brought his wife and son to the mall, but he didn't expect to encounter the apocalypse.

At the time, he was buying ice cream for his son, and his wife was looking at bags in the store next door. When the mutation started, the clerk who was making the ice cream turned into a zombie and pounced on the little boy, dropping the ice cream.

The middle-aged man was shocked and rushed forward to grab the clerk, throwing him outside with all his might. Then, he immediately closed the glass door and locked it.

Afterwards, he hugged his son and hid in the ice cream shop, which was only five or six square meters, looking at the world outside in shock.

In just a few minutes, the mall had turned into hell. Because the density was too high, people had no way to escape. Countless people were knocked down by zombies, struggling in despairing screams.

The middle-aged man even saw his wife, wearing high heels, running out of the store, screaming shrilly, searching for her husband and child. But because of her panic, her foot twisted, and she fell to the ground.

Then, two zombies pounced on her, tearing and biting her body. Hearing his wife's sharp screams, the middle-aged man hugged his son tightly, covered his mouth, and choked back the word "Mommy" that he was about to shout.

The middle-aged man didn't know how long it had been, but in the end, there wasn't a single living person in the mall. All that wandered back and forth outside were hideous and terrifying zombies.

Because the glass door was locked, and the middle-aged man and his son were hiding behind the ice cream machine, the zombies outside didn't see them, and they didn't dare to come out, or even make any noise, for fear of being discovered by the zombies.

Later, the zombies were summoned and all gathered on one side of the mall. There were no more zombies in front of the ice cream shop. The middle-aged man could even see the exit of the mall.

But he still didn't dare to come out, because he didn't know if the zombies wouldn't pay attention to the movements around them when they were being summoned. He was afraid that as soon as he opened the door, those zombies would all turn around and tear him and his son apart, just like those people who died in front of him last night.

It wasn't until Li Chenzhou appeared and started killing zombies like crazy that the middle-aged man observed from behind for a long time and found that the zombies didn't seem to turn around at all. Even though the young man killed so many, he didn't alarm the zombies in front.

Therefore, the middle-aged man carefully opened the lock and led his son out. He was already very careful, but when he opened the door, he still made a noise, attracting Li Chenzhou's attention.

Seeing Li Chenzhou turn around, the middle-aged man became very nervous, because he was afraid that Li Chenzhou would be harmful to him and his son. But he didn't expect that Li Chenzhou didn't intend to do anything to them. Instead, he told them how to leave, which immediately raised a glimmer of hope in the middle-aged man's heart...
