Chapter 87 - 87: That’s My Son
A gloomy male voice came from behind her, ‘Who are you, and what do you want?”
Fu Shinan immediately raised her hands, as she could feel something pressing against her neck. It felt like a crossbow bolt.
Professor Feng and the others were startled and turned around, only to see a man standing behind Fu Shinan.
The man was very thin, in his thirties, with dark and rough skin. He held a homemade crossbow in his hand, and his bloodshot eyes showed no excitement at the sight of others.
Professor Feng quickly said, “Please calm down. We heard a child crying from inside and came here, thinking there might be survivors. We mean no harm.”
The man slightly lowered the crossbow and spoke in a cold voice, “Indeed, there are survivors. My son is inside.”
Fu Shinan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. “We heard the child crying. Is he sick?” As she finished speaking, the cries from inside became louder. She broke into a cold sweat because the cries sounded off. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the man in horror…
Professor Feng, on the other hand, had a kind expression. “No need to worry. This young lady is a skilled doctor! If your child is unwell, you can bring him out, and she can take a look. Maybe it’s nothing serious.”
The man’s gaze flickered, and then he turned to Fu Shinan. In his lifeless eyes, a hint of fluctuation appeared. However, he quickly grew impatient and said, “No need. You all need to leave immediately!”
Upon hearing this, Fu Shinan immediately signaled to Professor Feng with her eyes, “Let’s go.” But as she turned around, she was startled by the scene before her. Several zombies had appeared on the path they had taken!
“These damn things, when did they show up!” Xia Dong said and immediately hid behind Sun Han.
Then, the cries from inside the room grew louder again, and the zombies outside seemed to be summoned by something. They suddenly increased their speed and rushed towards them.
“Sun Han, use your ability!” Fu Shinan said and pulled Professor Feng, running towards the stairs.
The man also panicked and shot an arrow at the zombies. Then he shouted at Fu Shinan, “Don’t go upstairs! It can’t bear the weight of two people! It will collapse!”
Fu Shinan immediately stopped in her tracks. Meanwhile, Sun Han had already unleashed his fire ability, but due to nervousness, the flames were not very strong.
The man’s gaze flickered, and then he shot two more arrows at the zombies.
However, the effect was minimal. The zombies hesitated for a moment and then lunged forward again.
Seeing that there was no escape, Sun Han couldn’t help but curse, “Fuck it, I’ll fight them!” With that, he stretched out his hand, and a fierce burst of fire erupted from his palm, burning several zombies in front of him. However, he was not reassured and continued to increase the firepower.
Unexpectedly, the man quickly stopped him, saying, “Burning them like this won’t solve the problem. It will only attract more zombies. Let’s go inside first!” He then opened the door to the room.
Fu Shinan and the others had no other choice but to follow him inside.
However, as soon as they entered, a strong stench hit them. Fu Shinan stumbled, overwhelmed by the smell.
When she looked up, she was dumbfounded. In front of her was a boy around five or six years old, his eyes bloodshot, his face pale, and his whole body filthy. He was chained to the bed, his mouth wide open, constantly emitting howling screams.
Fu Shinan had suspected that there were zombies inside, and it seemed that this boy was the man’s son.
Professor Feng was also shocked. “This is a zombie!”
The man’s face immediately turned grim. “You old man, if you dare to say that again, I’ll knock out your teeth! This is my son!” he said fiercely and approached the small zombie, speaking softly, “Little Guang, Daddy brought you some meat. Take your time and eat.” He then took out a piece of bloody, mangled flesh from his pocket and handed it to the child in front of him. The boy immediately began to gnaw on the meat, blood staining his entire body.
Fu Shinan was fine, being a surgeon who had seen all sorts of bloody scenes. But Xia Dong and Sun Han couldn’t handle it. They covered their mouths, feeling nauseous.
The man’s gaze suddenly turned sinister. “What do you mean? Do you find my son dirty?” Then, he raised the bow and arrow again.
Sun Han quickly raised his hand. “What are you trying to do? I’ll set everything on fire!”
The man sneered, “Do you think only you guys have abilities?” As he finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot, and Fu Shinan suddenly felt like she was being strangled..
