"Did you guys see that mine?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned to hear the man's words. He thought that after these guys entered Wu Village and found that there was no one there, they would all settle down and wouldn't dare to run to that mountain.

Although, due to Li Yingning's summoning, all the creatures were concentrated in the mine, and the mountain was now quite safe, these people didn't know about this.

What Li Chenzhou didn't know was that this burly man had been a local bully in the urban village. After escaping to Wu Village, he quickly organized all the people who used to follow him and suppressed all the survivors who entered Wu Village.

After all, all the survivors came from the urban village and had almost all been bullied by this burly man and his underlings. At that time, they only dared to be angry but dared not speak, let alone now.

In the past, they would still have some scruples, because there were still laws and police officers, and they didn't dare to go too far. But now, in the eyes of the burly man, Wu Village was his, and this apocalypse was the time for him to rise.

Therefore, after entering Wu Village and subduing all the survivors, he began to plunder Wu Village—the survivors who escaped here were completely different from Li Chenzhou and their convoy.

After all, they had no organization and only grabbed some food and water to escape, so not only were the resources they brought limited, but they also lacked supplies such as gas cylinders, tents, and emergency lights that could be useful at this time.

So, the burly man led his underlings to rummage through all the food stored in the homes of the villagers of Wu Village. In this process, they suddenly discovered that there were no creatures in the entire Wu Village except for them.

Because they were not far from Wu Village, they often came here before and knew that almost every family here raised chickens, ducks, and other poultry, and even pigs and dogs, but now, they couldn't see any of them.

This strange phenomenon attracted the attention of the burly man, so they carefully checked and finally found that many farmers hadn't even cleaned up their bowls and chopsticks, which was definitely not normal.

After carefully surveying again, they finally discovered that there were a large number of footprints at the entrance of the village, as if everyone had entered the mountain.

Seeing those footprints, the burly man immediately had an idea. In his opinion, the villagers of Wu Village should have gone to the mountain to take refuge. In other words, there might be a shelter in the mountain!

In this world, what kind of shelter would make the villagers abandon their homes and move completely? It must be a huge cave, and the villagers didn't even take the rice and flour from their homes, which meant that they might have been prepared and stored a lot of food and water in the mountain!

So, the burly man immediately changed his mind. If there was a huge cave, it would undoubtedly be much safer than this village. That would be the most ideal shelter!

After settling down in the entire village, the burly man led a group of underlings into the mountain, following the path that Li Chenzhou had taken before, and came to the mine.

When they saw the mine, everyone, including the burly man, vomited so hard that they almost passed out. None of them had thought that they would see such a tragic scene.

Countless broken limbs and shattered corpses were all soaked in the blood-filled mine. There were human limbs, poultry limbs, and animal limbs such as pigs and dogs. All the biological limbs were mixed together, emitting a strong, fishy odor.

Some of the burly man's underlings even wanted to escape back while vomiting, because none of them wanted to see such a terrifying scene a second time.

However, they were all stopped by the burly man. The reason was simple: this mine was very close to Wu Village. If they couldn't figure out the cause of death of these people, then they definitely wouldn't dare to stay in Wu Village. Who knew if this bloody slaughter would happen again? At that time, the ones who would be slaughtered would be them.

So, under the coercion of the burly man, the underlings, together with the burly man, endured their discomfort and examined the corpses. They found that the dead were both zombies and those who hadn't yet mutated, and the animals were the same. There were both corpses that looked normal and those that had mutated.

"Brother Hei, did they kill each other?"

One of the underlings guessed.

"Impossible! How could they be so concentrated if they killed each other?"

The burly man, known as Brother Hei, immediately shook his head. He still had some brains, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to dominate the urban village for so long and still stand tall.

"Look! This person has a bite mark here, which is obviously from a zombie bite, but look at his face. Although it's been smashed out of shape, it doesn't have the cyan color of a mutated person at all!"

Old Hei picked up a human corpse, pointed to the wound on the corpse, and said,

"What does this mean? It means that after he was bitten, he didn't have time to mutate before he was smashed to death! Also, look at the other corpses. Although a few were shot in the head by bullets, most of the corpses were smashed to death with blunt objects!"

"Then… who killed them… was it a person or a ghost?"

An underling couldn't help but shudder, and his words made everyone else, including Old Hei, feel a chill down their spines.

That's right, this world has even produced zombies, so it doesn't seem impossible for ghosts to appear!

Especially… so many creatures, even the mine is full, and even the blood hasn't seeped down, which means that there must be corpses in the tunnels below the mine.

Being able to kill so many people and animals, and still using blunt weapons, is probably not something that people can do!

"It shouldn't be a ghost, because there are people who were shot to death!"

Old Hei took a deep breath and continued to analyze:

"Moreover, the most important thing is not actually what killed them, but… where is that thing now?"

Hearing Old Hei's words, the others instantly woke up. That's right, where is the guy who killed these people and animals? Is he nearby or has he already left? Will he come to Wu Village again?

"Brother Hei, should we leave?"

An underling suggested timidly, and the others nodded in agreement. Now they not only didn't want to stay here, but they even planned to leave Wu Village.

"Let's go back first!"

Brother Hei frowned, and then led his men away from the mine!

At this time, Brother Hei also felt a sense of fear in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't leave here!

The only ideal place nearby is Wu Village. If he leaves here, where can he go? Back to the urban village or to other cities?

There are still many zombies in the urban village now. Isn't going back courting death? As for other cities… who knows what other cities are like? And, most importantly, the people here all know him, and he can still suppress them. If he changes places, who knows who he is?

Especially, if he wants to leave, those survivors may not follow him. At that time, if he has no one under him, even if he can escape to other cities, he will probably be someone else's lackey. Brother Hei, who had just felt a little bit of power, didn't plan to let go so easily…
