My Cell Prison

However, the target was located on the [second floor]…. If he were to go down now, while Han Dong himself would be fine, Sally and the sales clerk would definitely be attacked by zombies.

Causing excessive commotion might also attract other killers seeking to ambush.

As a result, Han Dong devised a plan.

“Sally, let’s first deal with the killer squad also located on the [third floor]. Let’s secure this floor as our own territory.”

“How do you plan to do that? They’re on the other side of the third floor, several hundred meters away from us. Just going over there directly would result in a zombie swarm attack, wouldn’t it?”

“I’ve got a way to draw them over. Sally, you just focus on warming up.”

Han Dong then turned to the confused sales clerk, handing him a backup baton obtained from the surveillance room.

“Mr. Henry, use this thing for temporary self-defense… just follow my instructions, and I promise you’ll make it out alive.

Also, I’ll need you to hand over the uniform you’re wearing and the surveillance room key.”

“Sure.”

Henry had already made up his mind. He understood that his survival was solely thanks to the help of these two mysterious customers, who had even paid him a large sum of money.

He had decided to trust them unconditionally, even if it meant doing things that went against his moral boundaries.

…

Opening the gate!

Feigning as a zombie, Han Dong left the surveillance room. As expected, the zombies wandering outside showed no interest in him at all.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the game began. According to the electronic timer’s notification, another fifteen minutes would bring about the next stage, where the ladybug count would increase.

The goal was to occupy the third floor as quickly as possible before then, minimizing uncontrollable danger.

Thus, Han Dong mimicked a zombie’s predatory stance and sprinted forward quickly.

Even Han Dong frowned slightly at the horrific condition of the mall.

Approximately [30%] of the zombies were in intact condition, while the rest were either missing arms and legs, entirely hollow in the abdominal region, or even dragging their heads forward using a hand.

As he approached the employee lounge where the killer squad was hiding.

Already dressed in the sales clerk’s uniform, Han Dong unleashed his peak acting skills, shifting from a zombie-like expression to one consumed by terror, stumbling and running to the lounge entrance, hammering on the door forcefully.

“Help me… help me!”

…

Second floor of the mall.

Another experienced killer squad was moving unharmed amidst the zombies, entirely unaffected by their presence.

Of course, they did not possess Han Dong’s unique traits but had prepared a special potion beforehand.

“Salle, didn’t I tell you this thing would come in handy sooner or later…? These zombies only rely on ‘scent’ as their source of information. This potion, which masks scent, will be the key to us winning this game.”

“Survive here, shop in the store afterward, and even level up our assassin rank!”

“Haha, you’ve really got it figured out, Mr. Sabo!”

Both killers wore White Masks depicting ‘Anger’ and ‘Sorrow,’ equipped with flying sickles and long-handled axes.

Their plan was clear—to seek out and force other killers hiding in various rooms into the open.

Utilizing their immunity to zombie detection, they’d let the zombie swarms Lock onto those killers and utterly Devour them.

However, one thing they were unaware of… their chosen route happened to lead past the mysterious target Han Dong connected with through the “zombie network.”

As they passed a row of household goods shelves belonging to the other party.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A bizarre sound drew their attention.

A hairless zombie was relentlessly banging its head against the wall. Instead of fracturing its skull, it had deformed the wall into a concave shape.

Driven by their killer instincts, they sensed something was amiss—Danger—and turned to leave immediately.

The peculiar zombie abruptly looked back… displaying a strange symbol in its pupils as though possessing a sight ability ordinary zombies lacked.

Soon, the sound of screams echoed from the second floor of the mall.

Remaining killers: [8]
