Seeing Li Chenzhou staring blankly at the little girl, Duan Lei and the others felt strange and subconsciously looked over as well. The burly man rushed forward, standing in front of the little girl, staring at Li Chenzhou with a wary expression.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Li Chenzhou finally came to his senses and quickly explained,

"I was just… after seeing her, I suddenly realized why you wouldn't open the door for me before and told me to leave as soon as possible!"

"Yes, you killed the zombies blocking the door, which can be said to have saved me, and it's very dangerous outside. In theory… I really should have let you in!"

The burly man understood, looking at Li Chenzhou with a somewhat ashamed expression, saying:

"But in this world, I can't take risks, and there are so many of you. If it were just me, I wouldn't care, at least I wouldn't do such an ungrateful thing, but I…"

He looked back at the girl and continued,

"But my daughter is also here. I want to prevent her from being in any danger, so I had to drive you away, until I saw his documents! I can still trust police officers and soldiers. Although there are many bad apples among them, most police officers and soldiers can still remember their original oaths, and can… be worthy of the emblem on their heads!!!"

Hearing the burly man's words, Leopard and Gray Bear exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complexity. Then, they suddenly stood at attention together, giving the burly man a standard military salute, and together softly said,

"Thank you!"

"Let's go! See what's happening in the back!"

Li Chenzhou glanced again at the girl hiding behind the burly man, then walked towards the back.

The ramen shop was only one story, unlike Duan Lei's convenience store, which had an upstairs. But this shop was open from front to back, with a door in the back similar to the one in the front.

The iron栅栏 (zhàlán, fence) of the back door was also closed and locked, and the glass door inside was also closed. Through the glass door, you could see white plastic tables and chairs placed outside.

Most of these tables and chairs had been overturned, and broken tableware and wine bottles, along with various dishes, were scattered on the ground, soaked in red liquid, making the ground very muddy.

And in this bloody mud, a large number of zombies were wandering. But what was strange was that the back door of the ramen shop was not blocked by zombies, and the view was very open.

"Our neighborhood is very lively at night. This area is full of food stalls. Each shop will put out a lot of tables. Because it's the neighborhood's territory, no one cares, as long as we pay the property management company a little money every month!"

The burly man also followed, looking outside and saying,

"When the sky changed, there happened to be no one in my shop. The customers were all sitting outside, and I was making ramen inside. Then I heard screams and noises outside, so… I…"

Speaking of this, the burly man suddenly choked up, subconsciously looked at a small house forty or fifty meters away, and then continued,

"I immediately closed the fence and locked it, so the zombies didn't rush in. After that, I hugged my daughter and covered her ears… The chaos and screams outside lasted for a long, long time…"

Listening to the burly man's words, Duan Lei and the others turned their heads to look at the kneading table right next to the back door. There was still a large lump of dough on it, so if someone was here, it would be very convenient to close the door.

Li Chenzhou, however, looked at the small house that the burly man had looked at earlier. The small house was estimated to be only five or six square meters, and should belong to the parking attendant, because there were many vehicles parked around, cars and electric bikes.

The doors and windows of the small house had been broken, and inside the house, there was a naked woman with disheveled hair, standing motionless, staring blankly at this side.

Looking at the woman's pale and terrifying face, Li Chenzhou's pupils instantly dilated. This was a zombie, but its eyeballs were gray, unlike other zombies that were completely bloodshot, looking bloody and terrifying.

Intelligent Enhanced Zombie – Corpse King!

Li Chenzhou almost immediately identified the woman. Moreover, he suddenly realized that although there were wandering zombies everywhere in this area behind the shop, no zombies had entered the area from the back door of the ramen shop to the small house.

Therefore, it was possible to see the small house unobstructed from here. It was as if the zombies had deliberately left this passage open. Zombies could not be so disciplined. The only thing that could make them do this was the Corpse King!

Li Chenzhou began to feel a little bad. Enhanced zombies were supposed to appear in a week, but now, on the very first day, he had already seen two enhanced zombies with his own eyes, and one of them was a Corpse King?

It was not difficult for zombies to become enhanced zombies. Unlike humans who had to absorb mutated crystal nuclei to become enhancers or evolvers, zombies only needed to devour enough flesh and blood containing Hell Wisps to become enhanced.

But the problem was, enough!

It was only the first day. How much could a zombie eat? Especially people who were bitten by zombies would quickly turn into zombies during the biting process. Maybe a zombie just grabbed a person, took a few bites, and the food would turn into a companion and stand up. How could they continue eating? They could only find the next one.

So, theoretically speaking, one day was not enough for an ordinary zombie to complete the enhancement and become a level one enhanced zombie, especially the rarest Corpse King, unless a large group of living people lined up for a zombie to gnaw on one by one.

"That person is…"

Pointing at the woman, Li Chenzhou turned his head and asked the burly man.

"She…"

The burly man's eyes suddenly turned red. He came to the glass door, looked at the woman, and said with a trembling voice,

"She's my wife! I'm in charge of making ramen, and she's in charge of selling side dishes, alcohol, and collecting money! When the mutation happened, she was outside!"

As he spoke, the burly man's body slowly sank, kneeling down towards the woman's direction,

"At that time, she was also running this way, like running back to the shop. I also wanted to wait for her, but there were two people who had turned into monsters next to her, rushing over with that terrifying sound. I… I was scared, so I closed the door!"

The burly man's voice turned into sobs, and tears poured out as if they cost nothing,

"She saw me closing the door, so she stopped and stared blankly at me, that look… I…

Then, she turned around and ran away, running into that small house. As soon as she went in, four other people followed her in.

Those people were local hooligans who committed petty theft and robbery, and did everything. They ate and drank here almost every night, and no one nearby dared to provoke them.

After they went in, they closed the doors and windows, not letting anyone else in, but they didn't kick my wife out either.

At this time, Xiao Ya also started crying loudly. I quickly went over and picked up Xiao Ya, and suddenly saw that the front door was still open, and I could still hear that terrifying roar outside, constantly approaching…"
