Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1059 - 692: Letting Down My Guard

Yao Zuo also walked onto the balcony and dropped a chair.

The chair hit the ground, and the mud on it was dry enough to allow passage.

So he nodded to Gan Hu and said, "We can go now, let's leave."

They quickly packed their luggage. In fact, they didn't have much, just a minimal amount of food and bedding.

Five minutes later, they arrived at the door of the floor they had originally blocked.

The door was secured with various chains and piled with heavy objects.

Everyone started removing these items one by one.

Only the chains remained.

Gan Hu instructed someone to remove the chains, then asked another person to open the door.

The young man's face was grim.

He was a bit anxious.

Usually, zombies aren't visible during the day, especially in the city.

But at night, zombies run rampant.

So where do zombies go during the day?

Naturally, they hide within the city's buildings.

In the past, zombies didn't move as well and usually appeared in basements or lower floors of buildings.

After all, zombies aren't as agile as humans, so climbing tall buildings like humans would be very difficult.

Unless in stormy weather, when a zombie's agility gets enhanced.

However, during the recent flood, many zombies were washed into the building.

Some of these zombies stayed inside the building.

This building had them too.

Just yesterday evening, they heard the roars of zombies downstairs.

Right below their floor.

Even though it was daytime now, he was still a bit scared.

"Hurry up!" Gan Hu, seeing the man's hesitation, urged.

The young man, hearing Gan Hu's urging, knew he had to go.

So he braced himself, steadied his mind, slightly moved his feet back, and leaned his body forward, ready to retreat at any moment. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The young man placed his hands on the door handle, silently counting to three.

Three.

Two.

One.

He forcefully pulled the handle, throwing the two iron doors open.

At the same moment, he retreated, quickly darting behind the others.

Bam bam!

The two iron doors slammed against the walls, creating a loud noise.

The stairway at the door was pitch black.

The sound of the iron doors echoed through the long staircase.

Gan Hu looked at the young man with disdain, pointing and saying, "Go down, you take the lead."

The young man inwardly cursed Gan Hu, but with a bitter face, he said, "Brother Hu, I've opened the door. Can someone else go downstairs?"

Gan Hu pointed at him and scolded, "When I tell you to go down, you go down. No backtalk. Hurry."

Anger briefly flashed on the young man's face, but he quickly lowered his head. Knowing Gan Hu, if Gan Hu saw his reluctance and expression, there would be trouble, and he might even get killed.

But going down meant taking a huge risk.

When he felt caught between a rock and a hard place, he noticed Gan Hu's impatient expression and decided to grit his teeth, saying, "Brother Hu, give me a flashlight. I can't see down there."

This building, unlike residential areas, didn't have windows in the stairwell, and indeed, before Doomsday, they weren't necessary.

Such high-end buildings usually had elevators, so stairways were rarely used.

In buildings, especially those above 30 floors, stairways typically didn't have windows but were equipped with vents.

Gan Hu looked at the dark stairway behind the door, hesitated, and instructed Yao Zuo to give him a hand-crank flashlight.

This hand-crank flashlight required constant manual pressure to generate light.

Click click—

The young man vigorously cranked the flashlight, holding a spear in his right hand.

Trembling all over, he slowly walked into the building's stairwell.

Inside the stairwell, it was eerily quiet.

Only the sound of the hand-crank flashlight echoed.

Thud thud thud—

He slowly reached the halfway point of the stairs, the light illuminating the doorway of the next floor, which was open.

There were some faint beams of light from the windows of the lower floors.

Although the light was weak, it was still there!

This gave him some psychological comfort.

Woosh woosh—

Seeing the light relaxed him considerably.

So he continued downward.

Standing on the next floor, seeing no zombies around, he shouted up to Gan Hu and the others, "No zombies here, you can come down."

The words of the young man echoed through the dark stairwells of dozens of floors.

"Come down."

"Come down."

....

The emptiness of it all sounded eerie.

If they didn't know it was daytime, they might have thought there were ghosts.

Gan Hu, being bold, upon hearing it was clear, said to everyone behind him, "Let's go!"

He then led the way, followed quickly by the others carrying their luggage.

They didn't want to be last, knowing in such an environment, the first and last are the most dangerous.

The young man watched them come down, their flashlights swinging around lighting up the stairwell on that floor, making him increasingly at ease.
