I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1333 - 1328: The Smell of Blood

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1328: The Smell of Blood

Others might not know who the strong man, the frail man, and the woman behind the house were, but Abeng was very clear. The strong man was Gert, disguised in his rotten skeleton, and the frail man was Song Muyuan!

As for the woman behind the door, her identity was very obvious! She was the person Abeng feared the most!

Having been glanced at by those eyes, Abeng felt as if a bucket of cold water had poured over him from head to toe!

"Damn it, why did she come here, why didn’t anyone tell me!"

He didn’t know what Gert and Song Muyuan were up to, but he didn’t want to stay in this place any longer. He had the feeling that if he stayed here even a second more, he would willingly walk into that little house, a sensation he had already experienced countless times!

Abeng gave an awkward smile, then next second he let out a low roar, "Let’s go, quick!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Abeng vanished from the spot. Zheng Minghui and his companion were somewhat taken aback, not knowing what Abeng was afraid of, but if a Level 8 zombie was scared of it, they certainly didn’t have the confidence to face it head-on.

At that moment, both of them felt that Cloud Gorge Base, which appeared to be a sanctuary city where humans lived, might be teeming with unspeakable supernatural threats!

Similarly, having directly arrived in China B21 district, Abeng had already thought about not helping Yi Huangcheng find Long Yingjia. After all, Gong Xiao now knew he had come to Cloud Gorge Base, so it didn’t matter anymore. This was like a dead pig not fearing the scalding water.

But on second thought, this seemed a bit unfair to Yi Huangcheng; it wasn’t his fault, just his own bad luck.

"Forget it, once I know that woman’s address, I’ll directly tell old Yi and let him worry about it himself. I’ve done all I can," Abeng thought, shaking his head. After a while, he saw Zheng Minghui and the other man catch up.

"Lead the way, let’s go."

"Okay, boss!"

The two nodded, took out their phones, opened the navigation app to search for the address of the Mining Hospital, and headed in that direction.

It took only a few minutes before they had already arrived near the Mining Hospital. However, as they approached the retractable gate, they saw no sign of life inside.

"Huh, is there no one here?" Shen Mingke asked, somewhat puzzled.

In the time they had been at Cloud Gorge Base with Zheng Minghui, although not long, they had encountered several hospitals. Like before the Apocalypse, every day there would be critically injured people brought into the hospitals, others desperately seeking treatment for severe illnesses; so normally, the few hospitals at Cloud Gorge Base, while not overwhelmed, were never idle.

"What’s going on? It’s not Sunday today, is it? And even on Sundays, it’s impossible for there to be no one in the hospital, right?"

The two of them talked among themselves, only Abeng, narrowing his eyes, stared into the hospital. He smelled something that made him unusually excited.

The scent of blood was strong, so intense that it made his Level 8 zombie body tremble all over!

The two didn’t notice anything unusual about Abeng. Zheng Minghui randomly grabbed a person from the street and asked rather rudely, "Hey, what’s going on inside? Why is there no one around?"

"I don’t know, the hospital closed its doors from yesterday, seems like something happened."

"Nobody knows?"

"We know, but what can we do about it?" The person said, scratching his head in confusion.

"Forget it, just scram."

Zheng Minghui waved his hand impatiently to dismiss the person, and then immediately put on a sycophantic smile on his face and sleazily said to Abeng, "Boss, shall we go in?"

Abeng glanced at him from the side and said teasingly, "The way you’re addressing me as ’boss’ is getting smoother and smoother, huh?"

"Right, right, right." Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke nodded their heads and bowed hurriedly.

At that moment, a woman dressed in blue walked over, gave the hospital a puzzled look, and upon noticing Abeng and the others, quickly approached. After sizing them up and realizing that Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke were Level 6 New Humans, her expression became cautious.

"Are you here for treatment, or to visit a patient?" she asked.

Abeng touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Uh, both, I guess."

"Oh, please wait here for a moment." The woman nodded, gave the hospital another curious glance, took out her phone, seemingly to send a message to someone. Abeng caught a glimpse of the text she sent: "Aren’t you working today?"

But thereafter, no reply came through. The woman seemed unable to wait much longer, checked the time, and then smiled at Abeng and the others, "Let’s go inside and have a look."

"Okay."

The woman must have taken leave to return. She led Abeng and the group to a small door not far from a retractable gate, swiped a blue badge she was carrying, and Abeng took note—it signified a director-level position!

They followed the woman into the hospital without issue, entering the First Ward together. It was eerily quiet, not a soul in sight, and the air was suffused with the scent of desolation. To Abeng’s nose, the increasingly strong smell of blood was unmistakable.

As she moved further in, her brow furrowed more deeply. Seeing the emptiness of the First Ward, so starkly different from usual, she felt like she had either come to the wrong place or entered a mysterious space. Fortunately, having at least two Level 6 New Human Stronghouses by her side gave her a sense of security.

The hospital at this moment held little sign of life, as if no one had visited this place for a long time. Thus, Abeng, Zheng Minghui, and Shen Mingke followed this director-doctor through the entire First Ward. She called out names one by one as she walked but received not even a single reply. She checked her phone messages periodically, but the person she messaged failed to respond.

After a while, she seemed to perceive something wrong and quickly descended the stairs, rushing out of the First Ward with Abeng and the others following closely. Cutting across the plaza, she thought for a moment and then headed straight for the Second Ward. But just as she stepped on the staircase, the woman let out a piercing scream that startled not only Zheng Minghui and the other man, but even Abeng, the zombie, shuddered involuntarily.

"You damn woman, what the hell are you screaming for!" Shen Mingke cursed on the spot. The sensation was like being deep at night, listening to serene and beautiful instrumental music with headphones, and just when you’re about to doze off, a sudden, terrifying, high-decibel scream jolts you three meters off the bed!

"Damn it, that scared the crap out of me!" Zheng Minghui complained as well.

Abeng recovered his senses and moved to the front, confronted by a sight in the Second Ward’s lobby—a ground covered in what was almost mushed into mud, the flesh! Blood had stained the surrounding walls into a dark crimson!
