Chapter 177 Departure

Zhu Haitao's body shook as he raised his binoculars and saw his home. Then, he looked at his home carefully, and his whole being instantly froze. The binoculars slipped from his hand and fell onto the roof, but he was unaware, just staring blankly in the direction of his home.

Seeing Zhu Haitao's reaction, Director Gao quickly picked up his binoculars and looked at Zhu Haitao's home...

The beautifully decorated viewing platform was covered in bloodstains. A small, headless corpse lay there quietly. Next to the corpse was a chair with a blackboard on it. Seven large characters were written in blood:

"Sorry! Live well!!!"

Director Gao moved the binoculars, carefully searching Zhu Haitao's home. Since there was only a child's body, it was definitely Zhu Haitao's son, Xiao Yuan. But where was his wife?

The seven bloody characters were obviously written by an adult, definitely his wife. And the words "I'm sorry" should also be because she failed to protect Xiao Yuan, so she wrote them. But the question was, after writing the words, where did she go?

"No need to look! She... has already left!"

Director Gao searched for a long time but could not find any trace of Zhu Haitao's wife. It seemed there was no one else in the house. Just as he was wondering, Zhu Haitao's voice sounded.

Director Gao turned to look at Zhu Haitao, only to see that Zhu Haitao had picked up the binoculars and was saying to his home:

"See that? The thing hanging on the railing of the roof?"

Following Zhu Haitao's guidance, Director Gao saw a white... a white gauze thing hanging on the railing of the roof.

"That's the headdress from her wedding dress!"

Zhu Haitao stared blankly at that side, saying:

"When we got married, the wedding dress was custom-made. She said life only happens once, and she didn't want to wear someone else's!

After the wedding, she put the wedding dress away. She said that when she was old and about to leave this world, she would wear it to leave!

Now, she put the headdress there, just to tell me that she... has already left this world. She was afraid that I would think she was just missing and go looking for her, so she left the headdress of the wedding dress there!"

Hearing Zhu Haitao's words, Director Gao looked at the roof of Zhu Haitao's home again carefully, and finally roughly guessed what had happened there.

Zhong Xueqing and Xiao Yuan, Zhu Haitao's wife and son, probably didn't know that enhanced zombies had been born in the zombie horde. Therefore, they thought their home was safe and that the zombies couldn't get up.

Because Zhu Haitao had left them a message, telling them to persevere before leaving, and because Zhong Xueqing understood Zhu Haitao and knew that he would come back to save her and her son, she would definitely be watching this side from the roof every day.

Before, of course, everything was fine, ordinary zombies really couldn't climb up. But after the appearance of enhanced zombies, enhanced zombies must have rushed to the roof.

Director Gao felt that there should only be one zombie that rushed to the roof, otherwise, Zhong Xueqing would not have had the chance to leave a blood message!

He didn't know how Zhong Xueqing killed the zombie, but in any case, after the zombie died, Zhong Xueqing was still alive, but Xiao Yuan, the little guy, had been bitten by the zombie. Now Director Gao could see the scars on the shoulders and legs of the headless corpse.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan must have mutated into a zombie, and then was killed by Zhong Xueqing. As for Xiao Yuan's head being cut off, there were only two possibilities, one was that Zhong Xueqing didn't want Zhu Haitao to see his son's ferocious appearance after becoming a zombie.

The other possibility was that Zhong Xueqing accidentally chopped off his head when killing Xiao Yuan who had turned into a zombie.

Because of the characteristics of zombies, Xiao Yuan's head would still be alive after being chopped off. Seeing a head on the ground opening and closing its mouth, probably anyone would throw it far away, and on the roof, naturally, it would be thrown downstairs.

As for Zhong Xueqing's suicide, she must have been bitten during the fight with the zombie, or bitten by Xiao Yuan when killing Xiao Yuan. After seeing Xiao Yuan's mutation, Zhong Xueqing certainly knew that she would also become a zombie.

She didn't want her husband to see her become a zombie, so she put on the wedding dress she had kept for a long time and jumped off the roof in her most beautiful moment...

Director Gao, who had guessed the general process, took a deep breath, and then looked at Zhu Haitao. At this time, Zhu Haitao was still looking at his home, and was searching downstairs with binoculars, but unfortunately, there was a row of buildings in front of his residential area, which blocked the view and made it impossible to see the situation downstairs!

"Mayor! We..."

Director Gao tried to persuade Zhu Haitao, but he was interrupted by Zhu Haitao as soon as he opened his mouth. He was still looking at his home with binoculars, and said:

"Xiao Gao! You guys go down first, I want to be alone here for a while!"

"Mayor, you..."

Director Gao looked at Zhu Haitao, somewhat worried, but his words were interrupted by Zhu Haitao again:

"Don't worry, I won't jump down!"

Saying that, he pointed to his home:

"Xueqing told me to live well, then I have to live on, and I have to live on with her and Xiao Yuan's share! I just want to accompany them one last time, they shouldn't have gone far yet, maybe they can see me!"

"Okay!"

Director Gao finally stopped persuading him, waved his hand, and led the others down from the roof...

"Director! What do we do? Just wait here?"

Arriving downstairs, one of Director Gao's subordinates looked up at the roof and asked.

"You guys go around and see if there are any survivors, I'll just wait here myself!"

Director Gao lit a cigarette and waved his hand.

"Ah? Then..."

His subordinate looked at the zombie horde in the distance, and then looked at Director Gao:

"Director, isn't this unsafe? What if those things rush over..."

"Alright! If they really rush over, it's useless for you to be here, everyone will die!"

Director Gao said:

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, get out of here quickly, remember to go back early, you don't have to worry about me here, I will take the mayor back with me when the time comes!"

"Okay! Then we're leaving, Director!"

After those subordinates saluted, they got into the truck and drove away.

Director Gao looked around. Although he could see the zombie horde from here, Director Gao was already used to it and didn't look nervous at all.

When he saw a small bar across the street, Director Gao's mouth twitched into a smile, and he said:

"I hope the wine inside hasn't been emptied!"

As he spoke, Director Gao walked towards the bar, looked inside through the window, and after confirming that there were no moving targets inside, he pushed the door open and walked in...
