I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1337 - 1332: Scary

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1332: Scary

The two soldiers stopped on the second floor after delivering the woman and said, "Start looking for whatever it is. You can’t possibly expect me to lead you to search every nook and cranny, can you?"

After observing her surroundings and ensuring that the second floor was many times cleaner than the first, the woman spoke with relief.

The soldiers didn’t immediately respond to her, but first saluted the man who had come up with them. The woman noticed this man’s distinguished identity and bowed respectfully.

"Let him tell you," one of the soldiers said.

"Uh-huh." The woman suppressed the strong disgust in her heart and replied with difficulty.

More soldiers gathered on the second floor, some of whom were Level 7 New Human Powerhouses. The man didn’t waste time and began, "Lin Jie left a message downstairs. He must have been looking for something. Those who died there were killed by his own hand. This must have happened around seven or eight o’ clock last night. Based on my order, people compared the blood on the walls and other places to the paint, and there was a two-hour difference, which means the message was left by Lin Jie before he left."

"He didn’t seem to have much time and didn’t indulge his psychological need by slowly torturing his victims. This indicates that the object Lin Jie was looking for is extremely important to him. However, he didn’t find it in the hospital, so he’s willing to trade something called a ’purification agent’ for similar clues. Let’s not worry about what this purification agent is for now or its purpose. What’s crucial is finding Lin Jie!"

The man’s gaze fell on the woman, although what he said was intended for everyone present, "Therefore, we can narrow our search. Think about any strange occurrences in the hospital recently, and then check the places where important things might be hidden to confirm nothing is missing. If we’re sure everything is accounted for, then we can rule out Lin Jie looking for an object. Next step is simple, Lin Jie is searching for a person!"

"You take a team to check all patient archives. If there’s anything unusual, we can act in two directions; if not, we have to wait here."

Lin Jie’s words were overheard by Abeng, who was standing on the rooftop. He looked towards an inconspicuous area in the distance, already aware that Tang Ye and Su Sigui had arrived, lying in wait.

"Abeng, what do you want me to do?"

A man jumped in from a window behind and asked, looking towards Abeng’s back.

"I’m quite fortunate, in less than two months, oh, just under two months, I found the clue to the person you were looking for."

When Abeng said "under two months," he emphasized it heavily, laced with deep resentment.

Yi Huangcheng smiled dismissively and said, "That’s tough, thanks."

"Damn you!"

Abeng almost lost control and punched him out of anger but held back. He continued, "Your little girlfriend was once injured here due to a Level 7 New Human’s battle and stayed in the hospital. Your task is to find her hospital records, and then you’ll know where she is. You’d better pray she’s not dead."

"You’re really careless."

"Fuck off, you know what? I’m not afraid anymore since Gong Xiao knows I’m out. You might as well go snitch, see if she cares about you."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

"Hmph. Just keep an eye on those people below. Once they find the records room, you can go look. I’m out, I’m not wasting any more of my precious time with you."

"I know, but... you’d better keep it down. Boss has something very important to do. If you screw it up because you’re fooling around, he might just throw you to Mad Xu."

"Eek~ I’m so scared~"

Abeng pulled a face, shrugging his shoulders teasingly, as if asking for a beating. Despite his act, he took Yi Huangcheng’s words seriously, irritated only because he’d been coerced into working and was now increasingly annoyed with him.

Yi Huangcheng shook his head silently; he could feel the resentment in Abeng’s words. Yet, he harbored no regrets about using him as a tool. Abeng was the best at finding people. Even if Yi had the time and freedom to search for the person himself, without any clues, he doubted he could have found them by now.

He also feared that according to a report he read, Long Yingjia was not a New Human, just an ordinary person. He understood all too well how dangerous it was for an ordinary girl to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. His greatest fear was that after finding all the clues, he would discover the girl he was looking for was already dead.

He didn’t know how many dreams had become shadows pressing down on his heart.

"I’m leaving. Just monitor that crowd. I don’t have the patience to continue searching for you. The hospital’s too big, and I have no idea where the records are stored. When they find it, you can go and see. But be careful, it’s not just you and me. Boss and Su Sigui are here too, along with many Near-Heaven Level Humans hidden around. They just took an inhibitor, so you won’t sense them."

"OK!"

Yi Huangcheng gestured to show understanding and moved to where Abeng had been standing, observing the soldiers who had started to move. He regretted not preparing better before coming directly here. He hadn’t taken an inhibitor, so his Level 8 New Human aura would be blatantly obvious to those other hidden entities. He could be the only one exposed.

Elsewhere, Tang Ye shifted his gaze from Yi Huangcheng’s direction to other places, becoming somewhat puzzled. What was Yi Huangcheng doing here? But these details didn’t concern him much; probably Yi was also quite curious about this person Lin Jie.

The main point was that apart from Yi Huangcheng and Abeng, along with himself and Su Sigui, there were at least six individuals hidden in equally inconspicuous spots, all of them Level 8 New Humans.

This made Tang Ye reflect; Lin Jie sure had made a lot of enemies.

More and more people entered the Second Ward of the Mining Hospital. Numerous human remains were collected, shocking not only the onlookers but also the battle-hardened soldiers. The cruelty was beyond their wildest imaginations. They had withstood waves of the undead, and corpses had lined their paths, but here, every single body had once been a living person!
