Following the stated broadcast instructions, the four of them soon arrived in front of the fire door.
[Please stand outside the door and don't move]
Before they could knock on the door, the broadcast once again echoed.
Then they saw several automatic fire sprinkler heads extend from the ceiling of the entire corridor and begin spraying water.
"It seems the survivors here have also discovered the patterns of the Zombie Beasts."
"Doing this, may be to cover up the scent we've left behind."
Mr. Liu spread his arms, letting the mist shower over his body.
"Click."
After being drenched for about 30 seconds, the fire door suddenly opened.
"Come in quickly and then close the door."
The voice that came from the crack of the door was the same as the one from the broadcast.
The four of them filed in and then found themselves faced with a sturdy, grotesque looking man.
"Scared the shit out of me, damn it!"
Straw Man almost didn't manage to hold back from punching the guy.
This guy had a 100% bandit-like appearance, and he was ugly and mean-looking.
"I've finally met survivors!"
However, the man excitedly grabbed Mossy Mushroom, who was closest to him.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing, let go! Let go!"
Mossy Mushroom struggled forcefully.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I got too excited. I thought I was the only living person left."
The big man nervously scratched his head.
"One person?"
Mr. Liu raised an eyebrow.
"Come sit inside. Are you guys hungry? I'll cook something for you."
The man led the four people inside.
Once they entered, they found out that it was the surveillance room of the hotel.
A series of monitors displayed every corner of the hotel clearly, except the inside of the guest rooms.
From then on, it was time for the survivors to exchange information.
It turned out that this burly man wasn't security but the hotel's cook.
He was one of the lucky ones who was caught napping in the warehouse when the Zombie Beasts outbreak happened.
When he woke up, he found the entire world had turned upside down.
In the beginning, he relied on his physical strength and bravely took a kitchen knife to ambush and kill a few Zombie Beasts. However, when he fled the hotel, he found even more Zombie Beasts outside.
Through the TV news, which still had a signal at that time, he learned about the events happening in the entire city.
Figuring there was no place to escape to, he thought about his familiarity with the hotel facilities. So, he hid there, hoping for rescue.
Apart from the basic situation, Ree Shil and the others also learned some useful information.
Unlike the relatively low Zombie Beast density at the dock, the cook here often observed the movement of Zombie Beasts through the window.
So, based on Mr. Liu's four basic patterns, he added two more patterns of Zombie Beasts.
5,The duration and period of the Zombie Beast's rampage period is unpredictable
6,But after the rampage period ends, there will be a stability period of at least two hours
That is, if Ree Shil and the others want to go to the Military District Hospital, the most suitable time is after the rampage period.
"Mr. Liu, can you guys take me with you? I also want to go to the seaside."
After hearing about the Survivor's Camp, the cook expressed his wish to join.
"Well… I'm afraid that might be impossible for now."
"For now? What do you mean?"
Mr. Liu then explained the purpose of their trip to him.
"This…"
"Your trip there could be very dangerous."
The cook's brow furrowed.
In the first few days of the Zombie Beast outbreak, he had seen some fleeing people on the street.
But without exception, they all ended up as Zombie Beasts.
So, he believes that, unless someone lucked out like him, it's unlikely there'll be more survivors in the city area.
Places with large crowds like the Military District Hospital are even less likely to have anyone surviving.
"Don't worry, they are ability users."
Mr. Liu slapped Ree Shil's shoulder and patted Mossy Mushroom's head.
"Ability users?"
The cook blinked repeatedly.
[Roar! Roar!]xN
Just then, there was a sudden hubbub outside the window.
"The rampage period has come."
His face grew serious as he walked to the window.
"This is a one-way glass, so we won't be discovered by them."
With that, he motioned for everyone to come and observe together.
So Ree Shil also walked to another window and looked down.
He saw that these Zombie Beasts indeed abandoned their usual dazed appearance, and started wandering aimlessly, but rapidly, around the street.
Among them, he found one particularly noticeable.
First off, its appearance was different from the other Zombie Beasts.
The skin of ordinary Zombie Beasts was dry and grayish-brown, but this beast was a tender red.
As it didn't have skin, its muscle fibers were exposed to the air.
Plus, it stood several heads taller than the other Zombie Beasts around it. With a height of over 2 meters, it was very noticeable.
"Hmm?"
Just then, he saw the beast suddenly raise its head and look blankly over in his direction.
"It's looking at me, damn it!"
Straw Man at the side let out a startled cry. He felt like he had just made eye contact with the big Zombie Beast.
"What are you looking at, move away quickly! Cute Mushroom!"
The window was a bit high, and Ree Shil could only barely stick out half of his head to see, even standing on his tiptoes.
So, Straw Man, who was a head shorter than him, had to stand on Mossy Mushroom's shoulders to reach.
"Your turn, Grass."
Straw Man grumbled a few words and jumped down to let Cute Mushroom climb onto his head.
"Get down a bit! Hey! Get down a bit! Are you letting me watch with my belly button!"
"Such a noisy guy, damn."
The argument between the two distracted Ree Shil's attention.
"Hmm? It's gone."
When he looked back, he found that the strange, big Zombie Beast had disappeared.
