Chapter 651: That’s How it Always Starts in the Movies

If apologies mean anything, then what do we need zombies for?

-Mo Ke

No matter what, Icy Inferno was staying by my side -this was my means of protecting the girls and myself.

Even so, Officer Liao had no intention of yielding either. Voice slightly high from tension, he fired off another assurance, Its very safe here. I will swear I will protect you ahem I meant to say that I will protect everyone. Thats my mission!

I could tell he was being sincere there. He really did mean to protect everyone, but I did not reply at all. Instead, I trained my eyes on the hoodlums who were sniggering at me arguing with the officer.

Being an experienced officer, he realised where my eyesight was at.

A moment later, he whipped his head around and singled out the hoodlums. You lot. Apologise to Miss Ke, right this instant! Or else I will teach you a lesson!

Miss Ke?

I dont remember introducing myself to him, so how would he know Wait, Im not even Miss Ke, Im Mo Ke!Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

I got it. Its those busybodies. They must have spread my picture around the net who knows how many strangers know my face at this point

But Officer Liao, thats where you are wrong. The leader of the hoodlums smiled in his typical weaselly fashion. Were not the ones carrying a weapon here, why would we go out of our way to antagonise the scary sword lady over there?

The hoodlum leader was a cunning one. With just one simple question, he easily turned the issue back onto me. His logic was irrefutable as well, who would even try and antagonise a fierce looking newcomer, armed with a sword and a deathly glare

Yet no matter how amplified his voice was, no one was going to calm down just because he said so. In fact, they seemed even more frightened now.

In mere moments, cries for help and children wailing began to fill the cramped exits as more people fell to the ground, trampled to death by the crowd they were part of not too long ago

As the trampling got worse, the blind nature of human fear only spurred on their frantic desire to rush for the exits. Everyone was controlled by the monster known as fear, and that monster was cruelly whipping them ever onwards, right through their fellow humans.

Sometimes, it was another person who had failed to keep up with the rapid pace of the crowd, only to get trampled to death as punishment. Other times, it was a mother desperately trying to find her child in the midst of a forest of humans.

Big brother, whats going on over there? Jiaojiao mumbled as she shrunk closer into my arms, horrified by the merciless crowd and their poor victims. Not too long ago, she had witnessed another boy around her age stumble, only to to never stand up again. She dared not raise her head, burying it deep into my chest as she clutched down on my shirt. At the side, that trampled boy continued to look lifelessly in her direction.

Dont worry, your big brother is here. The instant this whole mess started, I made the quick decision to evacuate everyone to the side, basically somewhere where we werent in a straight line to any exit. Thanks to that, we managed to avoid the horde entirely.

As for why didnt we just rush to the elevator Honestly, my instincts just told me that the elevator most likely wasnt going to be safe for long.

Officer Liao tried his hardest to maintain order, but the startled masses would have none of that. Faced with an unstoppable, unthinking wave of people, the best he could manage was keep himself safe for the time being.

Amidst the chaos, I could hear other police officers shouting over the crowd to try and calm them down. As I had expected, Officer Liao wasnt the only officer on duty here.

Unfortunately, without an exosuit, these policemen couldnt even guarantee their own survival.

Suddenly, Bitong whispered in my ears. Someone is changing.

Even amidst the din of the crowd, I was still able to catch some key phrases, like bitten, dead, etc.

It was only to be expected that some would start turning into zombies
