Zuo Xiaohan glanced at the group of people in front of him. His face was filled with grief as he replied in a low voice,""That zombie bit everyone it saw in the Zhou Mansion. Many villagers died in its mouth. Quick, quick, everyone check it one last time. Who knows, that zombie might come soon.”
After receiving the order, everyone started to move.
One or two of them seemed to be dragging their feet. They became hesitant." Xiao Han, why don't we…run while the zombie has just revived?"”
"As long as we escape from the Zhou Residence, we will be safe. There is no need to fight to the death with that beast.”
The two of them immediately voiced the thoughts of the others.。
Even the leader of the group, Brother Zhou, who was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, hesitated.
That's right!
Why did he have to stay here and fight to the death with that beast?
Although the Yuan Datou that Young Mistress had offered as a reward could be worth a month's salary on normal days, how could it be more important than his own life at this critical moment?
While everyone was waiting in the room, they heard the screams coming from other places in the Zhou residence. Their courage had long been exhausted in the process of waiting.
The morale of the army began to waver.
Everyone's gaze fell on Zuo Xiaohan again.
If he couldn't give a reasonable reason, these people would probably take advantage of the chaos to open the door and disperse.
Zuo Xiaohan also understood the current situation. He sighed, and with a furious look on his face, he scolded fiercely,"Why can't everyone tell what's going on?"
"I've seen that zombie before. It has boundless strength and comes and goes like lightning. If you were to face that beast one-on-one, you wouldn't be able to defeat it or escape.”
"As long as you open the door, you might be able to bump into that beast in the next second. If we huddle together, there's strength in numbers.”
"I'll say this in advance. If anyone wants to leave now, quickly open the door. Once you step out of the hall, whether you live or die will be up to fate. If you're unlucky and get bitten to death by zombies in the courtyard, we won't help you at all.”
Zuo Xiaohan was too lazy to think carefully like before.
These words were smelly and tough, but they did not expect the effect to be surprisingly good. They finally shocked this group of people.
"If we unite, we will live. If we separate, we will die. Everyone understands this principle. Little Han, everyone is just worried and asked. Don't be angry.”
After dealing with this group of people, Zuo Xiaohan rushed to the master bedroom. In front of Xiao Hong, she said to the Young Mistress," The butler and Zhou Donglai have both died at the hands of zombies. Now, you are the only person in charge of the Zhou residence. If you can survive this disaster, you will be the only heir of the Zhou residence. This huge family business will be yours."”
Fortunately, this Young Mistress was not a brainless fool. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately digested the information in her words. Then, her face lit up and she quickly took out the decisiveness of the Zhou Manor's decision-maker.
"As long as everyone works together to survive this calamity, you will be the benefactor of my Zhou Residence. Everyone present today will receive 10 Big Head Yuan's rewards.”
"If you are still willing to work in my Zhou Residence in the future, we will draft a new contract. Everyone's salary will be doubled on the previous basis.”
Wine makes people happy, money makes people happy.
The reward of 10 Yuan Datou was equivalent to the wages of these short-term workers for the past three years.
It was enough to make these people risk their lives.
Moreover, there was also the long-term bonus of doubling his salary.
"Listen to Young Madam, listen to Zuo Xiaohan, everyone will risk their lives today and do it.”
"Isn't it just a zombie? A few years ago, when my old family moved the graves, I burned many dried corpses.”
"Don't worry, Young Madam. With us here, that zombie won't be able to hurt you.”
Everyone's blood was boiling with excitement from the huge reward. Their morale, which had fallen to the freezing point, gradually rose again.
Just as the group of people were discussing how to eliminate the zombies, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard outside the hall.
It sounded like a thief had sneaked in from outside the courtyard wall and stepped on the bluestone tiles.
Unknowingly, the screams from before had disappeared for a while.
Zuo Xiaohan's heart tightened. He quietly stepped back and a bad thought came to his mind." Could it be that the beast has already killed everyone in the Zhou Residence and has come here?"”
Zuo Xiaohan wasn't the only one who had this thought.
Everyone shut their mouths at the same time and stood motionless on the spot as if they had been cast with a spell. Even their breathing became soft and inaudible.
Zuo Xiaohan quietly observed his surroundings.
In addition to the two oil lamps in the hall, there was also a lit torch.
After a while, the light from the oil lamps and torches became hazy, as if someone had covered them with a layer of green lampshade.
He put on the mask again without batting an eyelid. He did not dare to let out a breath of cold air for a long time.
Everyone was in a deadlock.
After about a cigarette, his originally nervous expression gradually relaxed.
"Brother Zhou? There was some noise in the courtyard just now. Should I go out and take a look?”
"Do you want to die? You still dare to go out at this time?"
"But we can't keep on being in a stalemate, right? Why don't I take a look through the crack in the door?”
The two of them leaned against the door on both sides. They were the closest to the door among the group.
Brother Zhou thought about it and agreed.
He turned around and looked at the others. Seeing that no one objected, he waved his hand and gestured for his companions to lean forward.
There was a small gap between the two doors.
The two of them leaned against the door and looked outside, but there was no light. It was as if something was blocking the door, and even the moonlight outside was blocked.
Brother Zhou was stunned and thought to himself, Something's not right!”
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, a huge force attacked him head-on.
Bang!
After a loud bang, the two doors flew up.
