Chapter 92: He had a bad feeling about this
The three of them walked out of the distribution room, and the warehouse was already brightly lit.
Numerous shelves could be seen, divided into several areas, much larger than the first floor.
The three headed straight for the fast food section. One of them grabbed a few self-heating rice packs, without much fuss, and they sat on the floor, ready to eat!
While waiting for the rice to heat up, Daisy went to the drinks section and brought back a bottle of cola.
"If only Hannah were here, we could have chilled cola!"
"Hannah would burst out laughing if she heard that. Is her power meant for chilling cola for you?"
"I think it's great!"
"Erm~" Elijah thought about it.
Hannah's ability wasn't very useful against zombies because she had to touch objects to freeze them.
It was too risky to use against zombies; she might get scratched accidentally, which wasn't worth it.
It was more effective to use the terrain, like water pools. But her ability was very useful for dealing with humans and daily life situations.
Especially in this hot summer, it's like having a mobile refrigerator.
Yeah, they could consider bringing Hannah out the day after tomorrow.
By then her body strengthening exercises should have some effect!
All three of them had big appetites. Each of them had to eat several boxes of self-heating rice to feel full.
Elijah checked the time and realized it was getting late.
It would be dark soon.
So he said, "You two, bring some food to the car. I'll go upstairs to get some clothes. Fiona and the others don't even have proper exercise clothes; they're still wearing Charlotte's!"
"Shouldn't we be the ones looking for clothes? We girls know what girls like to wear!" Daisy said strangely.
"Who do you girls dress up for? Isn't it for us guys? So we guys understand better!"
"Nonsense!"
Nonsense can also make sense! Elijah didn't care about Daisy's little protest and grinned as he ran to the third floor. He had to pick carefully!
While Elijah went, Daisy and Lily had to move the food together.
There was a lot of food in the warehouse: rice, noodles, oil; canned goods, pickles, dried vegetables; honey, jam, seasoning; instant noodles, pre-made food, snacks... All neatly arranged on the shelves.
They didn't bother to choose carefully; they just had to pack everything.
And the food in the warehouse didn't need to worry about the expiration date; it was all still good for a long time.
So they started with the nearest items.
Meanwhile, Elijah casually strolled to the third floor.
He first found a few large canvas bags and then went straight to the swimsuit section.
He hinted that they shouldn't harm Lily, but they could deal with other strangers as they pleased.
At the same time, he planned to have these zombies stay here at night, guarding the entrances of the mall.
With the mutated female zombie present, ordinary people wouldn't dare to have any ideas about the mall.
Elijah implied that they could only move around the vicinity of the mall and were not allowed to be lured away.
With the arrangements in place, Elijah and Daisy vanished from Lily's sight using their stealth abilities and headed towards the office building across the street.
Along the way, they encountered few zombies, just a few scattered ones!
It was unclear where the hundreds of zombies had been drawn to and where they had gone.
The two of them reached the office building smoothly.
The main entrance was wide open, and there weren't many zombies on the ground floor.
Most likely, they had been lured away and had run outside.
But the ground was covered in dark stains of blood, with several rotting corpses, and the air was filled with the stench of decay.
It all indicated the grim aftermath of the zombie outbreak here.
Both of them were accustomed to such sights and didn't linger.
They went straight to the bottom of the building and started climbing up.
There weren't many zombies in the corridors either.
They encountered a few on floors 1 through 4. They tried to avoid them, but if they couldn't, they dispatched them swiftly.
They tried to keep the noise down to avoid attracting more zombies.
But strangely, from the 5th floor onwards, the fewer zombies they encountered.
Even the office area became completely silent, without any signs of movement.
Unlike the lower floors where they could at least hear a few zombie groans. This was abnormal!
Elijah's expression gradually turned serious.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Soon, on the 7th-floor corridor, they saw a corpse that had been partially eaten by zombies.
The body had been picked clean, leaving only a gleaming skeleton strewn on the ground haphazardly.
"What's going on?" Daisy was taken aback.
"If I'm not mistaken, there might be a mutated zombie nearby," Elijah said, his expression grim.
Their target was on the 8th floor, and they were about to reach it.
Although they didn't hold much hope, stopping here would not be justified!
They would do their best and leave the rest to fate!
