Chapter 594 – The Frightened Breasts Quiver

In the dimly lit Mobile Phone Mall, a group of people was cautiously moving forward.

Ling Mo and his companions each held a weapon, staying vigilant as they moved slowly.

Ling Mo, who was in the middle, seemed tense, but there was a hint of distraction in his eyes.

Moving in such a dense formation wasn’t in his plan!

However, this level of cautiousness could be utilized…

As they passed the entrance of the elevator, everyone couldn’t help but glance down.

The pitch-black staircase looked like a square-shaped mouth, and the dark basement below seemed to hide numerous Monsters.

Just standing there and looking down gave them chills, let alone going down.

Luckily, they didn’t need to go down there. The exit couldn’t possibly be there…

“Let’s hurry,” Xu Shuhan said, feeling a chill run down her spine as she urged them on.

However, just as they were about to completely bypass the elevator, a faint noise suddenly emerged from somewhere in the mall.

“Clang!”

Though the sound was small, like someone accidentally knocking over a shelf, it echoed in their ears like a thunderclap.

Their attention instantly snapped away from the basement as they all anxiously looked around the mall.

Xu Shuhan, in particular, was visibly startled. Her body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.

Seeing Ling Mo look over, Xu Shuhan quickly cleared her throat, trying to gather herself, “Th-there was a noise.”

“There was indeed a noise…” Ling Mo’s gaze involuntarily drifted downward, pausing for a moment on Xu Shuhan’s chest.

Those mature breasts had just shaken along with their owner’s movements…

“Ahem.” Ling Mo snapped back to reality, awkwardly diverting his eyes, focusing on the surroundings.

At this moment, Mu Chen had already stopped, tensely turning his head to observe the shadowy areas around them.

In such a complex structure with insufficient lighting, every corner seemed suspicious.

However, since the sound came from a specific direction, Mu Chen focused his attention in that direction.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and gripped his machete tightly, slowly approaching a piece of plastic cloth hanging in the distance.

“What is it?” Xu Shuhan asked nervously.

She hadn’t been this scared even when fighting Zombies. Judging by her expression, she wasn’t faking it either.

Afraid of the dark? Or ghosts?

Ling Mo glanced at her with interest but was suddenly pinched on the waist.

“Tsk…” Ling Mo sucked in a breath and turned to look at Xia Na beside him.

“Hmph, you like this kind of delicate girl, don’t you?” Xia Na asked, raising her head.

She wasn’t very adept at disguising her feelings. Even though she used a nonchalant tone, as a Zombie, the displeasure on her face was too obvious.

The conflict between her Zombie nature and human emotions was clearly visible in her at the moment…

“Not really…” Ling Mo rubbed his waist and suddenly said with some melancholy, “I just remembered that Ye Lian is also afraid of something.”

“Really? What’s Ye Lian afraid of?” Xia Na’s interest was piqued. She turned to look at Ye Lian, who was following them, curiously playing with a Mobile Phone, turning it over in her hands.

“Snap!”

Perhaps she applied too much force, or maybe the Mobile Phone was already decayed. Just as Xia Na opened her mouth to ask, the phone in Ye Lian’s hand crumbled into pieces.

The sudden noise startled Ye Lian. She looked at her hands in confusion, then pouted slightly and threw the pieces to the ground with a hint of sadness.

“Uh… Ye Lian, uh… it can’t be turned on anymore…” Xia Na couldn’t help but whisper.

“Huh?” Ye Lian widened her eyes, nodded in vague understanding.

Meanwhile, Ling Mo recalled, “Spiders. Every time she saw one, she’d jump up. So, for a while, I kept spiders…”

“Why?” Xia Na exclaimed.

“Uh… the world of a teenager, you wouldn’t understand…” Ling Mo replied, embarrassed.

“Actually, I was afraid of soft-bodied worms,” Xia Na suddenly said.

“That’s normal…” Ling Mo felt a sense of relief. It turned out Xia Na had once had such a girlish side.

“Now, when I see them, I just want to crush them,” Xia Na sighed wistfully. “Feels no different from humans.”

Ling Mo shivered with discomfort, “Can you not bring up humans at a time like this? We’re not even the same species!”

“Hmph, someone with a giant soft-bodied worm on them dares to speak?” Xia Na glared at Ling Mo and sneered.

“It can transform, okay?” Ling Mo retorted with a frown.

While the two were bickering, Mu Chen had already stealthily approached the plastic cloth.

Holding his breath and under Xu Shuhan’s tense gaze, he silently raised his machete.

“Slash!”

The decayed plastic cloth was split in half instantly by the blade.

But there was nothing behind it…

Mu Chen looked astonished and reached out to push aside the hanging strips of cloth.

Seeing no discovery, Xu Shuhan’s heart, which had been in her throat, finally calmed down.

She glared at Mu Chen and shook her head, “Tsk, making a fuss over nothing…”

The others also looked away in annoyance, leaving Mu Chen standing there, empty-handed and embarrassed.

“I could’ve sworn…” Mu Chen feebly tried to explain but realized no one was listening.

“Hey, I… must’ve seen a ghost.”

In frustration, Mu Chen spun around in place and furiously tore down the remaining strips of cloth.

But just as he was about to rejoin the group, his expression suddenly froze, and he came to a halt.

In that brief moment, he had caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye…

After a two-second pause, Mu Chen abruptly turned around.

This time he saw it clearly—an elusive shadow on a nearby pillar had been caught in his sight.

“Ha! Trying to mess with me?”

Mu Chen smirked excitedly, “Just a Zombie? And it dares to play tricks!”

Before chasing after it, Mu Chen turned back to glance at the group.

But after opening his mouth, he didn’t shout out.

“Forget it, if I alert the Zombie, we might end up catching nothing again.”

Thinking of those disdainful looks from earlier, Mu Chen couldn’t help but grumble.

Ever since he teamed up with Ling Mo, what little authority he had left had completely vanished.

Feeling frustrated, Mu Chen turned around and, both nervous and excited, approached the pillar…

Meanwhile, in the back of the group, Xia Zhi, who had been trailing them from a distance, suddenly noticed something too.

As he passed by a Poster, he heard a faint sound.

He stopped and turned to look at the Poster.

The faded Poster featured a beautiful woman, whose deep cleavage made the Mobile Phone she held seem utterly unnoticed…

At least, Xia Zhi hadn’t noticed the Mobile Phone at all; his eyes were fixated on the cleavage.

Just now… it seemed like the cleavage moved.

Xia Zhi blinked hard, and this time he saw clearly-it wasn’t the cleavage moving, but the Poster was slightly trembling.

It was as if someone was hiding behind the woman, beckoning to him.

Xia Zhi silently lifted his soot-covered face and stared expressionlessly at the woman on the Poster.

“Rustle rustle rustle!”

The Poster trembled again, causing the woman to shake slightly as she smiled back at him.

During this brief pause, the distance between Ling Mo’s group and him had widened.

Xia Zhi glanced at the group moving away and then back at the Poster.

Should he call out? He rarely spoke…

Go over and alert them? By the time he did that, whatever was hiding behind the Poster would probably have fled.

The key issue was, Xia Zhi indeed found this scene a bit intriguing…

After a few seconds of hesitation, Xia Zhi couldn’t resist licking his lips. He took a step forward, trying to peek behind the Poster while slowly drawing out a Pocket Knife, then cautiously moved closer…
