Wei Xiao Bei was simply not willing to hide in the corridor to the toilet.

  If it had been like that, Wei Xiao Bei would become trapped if the Zombies all rushed towards him.

  Naturally, he was not afraid of the Zombies. Although 700 was a big number, he could kill them all if he did it slowly.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei was afraid that a Licker might appear. Lickers had the ability to freely move through ceilings and had strong jumping ability. They even had their quick tongues which would be hard for Wei Xiao Bei to defend against while fighting the wave of Zombies.

  All in all, the result of this might be Huang Kun losing his life.

  Wei Xiao Bei would not accept this result.

  The people Wei Xiao Bei had previously met were strangers or people who were hostile to him. He did not care or even feel guilty if these people died.

  However, a familiar child like Huang Kun gave him the feeling that he needed to safely bring them out of The Dust World.

  As a result of thinking for a while, Wei Xiao Bei guarded one of the escalators, while he dispatched Huang Kun to the other one.

  Huang Kun was a bit afraid, but he had no choice but to go. They had already agreed that if Huang Kun saw a Zombie coming up the escalator, he would immediately run back.

  Other than two escalators, there were two emergency exits at both ends of the floor. However, as long as the Zombies were not lured there, they would not use them while ignoring the main escalator.

  Wei Xiao Bei stuck close to the escalator and looked down through the crack.

  For Wei Xiao Bei, a few floor’s distance could not affect his sight.

  However, because the crack was narrow, the amount of things he could see was limited to just the escalator.

  However, even if that was the case, Wei Xiao Bei could see that the Zombies were currently scattered on the first floor.

  Naturally, there were also Zombies who were also heading up to the second floor.

  However, because of their body posture, climbing up an escalator was a lot harder for them compared to a normal person.

  As they climbed up, large amount of Zombies fell down. Only a few lucky Zombies had climbed up the second floor.

  Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei schemed. He planned to go down and take this chance to massacre them.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei looked at Huang Kun on the other escalator, and could not help but shake his head. With Huang Kun there, he did not dare to go to far away.

  The correlation between the Zombies movements and numbers was like a pyramid. From the second floor, the amount of Zombies that were climbing up had decreased once again.

  As Wei Xiao Bei looked at the Zombies’ climbing speed, it would take them more than half an hour to climb up to the eighth floor. As a result, he called Huang Kun back to his side and made a makeshift alarm with the clothes rack, placing it on the two escalators.

  As long as the Zombies climbed up and hit the clothes rack, then the clothes rack would fall down the escalator and hit the level below, creating a huge sound to alarm them.

  Naturally, only Wei Xiao Bei made it, while Huang Kun observed on the side.

  After finishing their preparations, Wei Xiao Bei brought Huang Kun to continue upwards.

  When they were on the ninth floor, Wei Xiao Bei had a headache as he looked at the heavily locked warehouse doors. The warehouse doors were only made of normal steel doors, but if Wei Xiao Bei wanted to open them, the amount of sound he would create would be enough to attract the Zombies’ attention.

  If there were a few Lickers inside the warehouse, things would also get uglier.

  After circling the ninth floor a few times and observed the place, Wei Xiao Bei thought of a plan to use the ventilation ducts.

  As a large department store, the air conditioning should come from a central air conditioning system. Moreover, if the central air conditioning system generated cold air, it needed to pass through every room in every floor. This was also the reason why spies in movies would mostly use the ventilation ducts to move through rooms.

  As an electrician, Wei Xiao Bei was not a stranger to this.

  With a jump, Wei Xiao Bei had caught onto the ventilation duct that was slightly protruding from the ceiling. With a light twist, the metal bars from the duct were pulled down. Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei told Huang Kun a few things, passed him the backpack, and climbed into the ventilation duct like a monkey.

  At this time, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that having a bigger body size was not a good thing. As he moved through the ventilation duct, it was easy for him to get stuck on turns and narrow places.

  This was especially so when the great spear was still wrapped around his waist and the machete still in his right hand.

  Naturally, this was not a problem for Wei Xiao Bei. The only thing was that the worn out ventilation duct had been further destroyed by him. A few dents appeared on the places he had a hard time on. Some places had even been directly torn by him.

  Wei Xiao Bei quickly reached one of the warehouse. After he jumped down the ventilation duct, he saw that the room was filled with durable plastic bags.

  Wei Xiao Bei pulled out his dagger and cut open a bag.

  When he opened it, there were more than 10 pieces men’s clothing inside.

  Wei Xiao Bei could not help but smile when he saw this. Moreover, the contents were Adidas sportswear that came in matching sets.

  Wei Xiao Bei searched for his size and immediately changed his clothes.

  At the very least he did not look like a savage now.

  Compared to the clothes that he had previously bought from a stall, these 1700-1800 yuan sports clothes were much more durable. He wore the clothes that tightly fitted him, but gave no resistance to his movements at all.

  After changing clothes, Wei Xiao Bei walked towards the wall of the warehouse and hacked down with his machete.

  Warehouses like this were not completely constructed with cement. They were only made with a special alloy with insulating foam outside. It was useful against thieves, but it was nothing in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

  With a single chop, the wall had been torn. After a few more chops, Wei Xiao Bei lightly kicked it, creating a human sized hole.

  Wei Xiao Bei walked forward to another warehouse. He looked around and found out that it was the warehouse for women’s apparel. Moreover, a few of the clothes were decayed.

  Next, Wei Xiao Bei followed the pattern and moved through the warehouses. He had found a few good things.

  Nike shoes?

  Wei Xiao Bei made one of the clothes into a rag and wiped his feet. Then he wore a pair of socks and then the shoes. He jumped and felt that they were not bad.

  He wore a pair of branded sunglass and looked at himself in the mirror, feeling that he looked cool.

  After busying himself for a while, he suddenly stopped. He bitterly smiled at realizing how selfish he was. Perhaps because he had suddenly found a lot of things in The Dust World, his commoner mindset had urged him to bring anything useful.

  However, after thinkng a bit, there was no use for them even if he brought a lot back to his room. If he truly needed them, he could just come back since no one would probably damage them. Even if someone came, they would only be able to take a few things.

  After thinking about this, he came to the warehouse door.

  The warehouse door was a lot easier to open from the inside than the outside. After opening the door halfway, it did not budge anymore since it was locked by iron chains.

  Wei Xiao Bei stuck out the machete on the crack and chopped down. With a crisp sound, the iron chains broke apart.

  After opening the door, Huang Kun who was anxiously waiting outside was startled. Seeing Wei Xiao Bei, he was about to shout, but immediately closed his mouth as he recalled the Zombies downstairs. If he shouted, he could attract the living dead downstairs.

  “Come here,” Wei Xiao Bei signaled

  Huang Kun eagerly ran over. When he saw Wei Xiao Bei’s current appearance, he said, “Big brother Wei, you look cool! You look even cooler than Chris from Resident Evil!”


  Chris?

  Wei Xiao Bei knew that Resident was a game and also a movie, but he did not know who Chris was, so he asked further.

  The following question Huang Kun asked made Wei Xiao Bei begin to doubt himself from then on.

  “Big brother Wei, aren’t you too old school?”


  As it turned out, ever since the start of the new term, cinemas in Cui Hu City had been showing the science fiction flick, Resident Evil. Because there was a game that had already existed and many famous celebrities were involved, many young people and students all went to watch it. For the moment, those who had not seen the flick were called old school.

  This made Wei Xiao Bei feel like he had a faint grasp at something. He felt that there was some kind or relation between this and The Dust World, but the proper reasoning was still hard to make out.

  After thinking a bit, Wei Xiao Bei temporarily gave up getting to the bottom of it. He just let Huang Kun enter the warehouse and pick a few clothes.

  While escaping together, Wei Xiao Bei had previously noticed that Huang Kun’s clothes already had a huge tear.

  Since there were a lot of clothes there, there was no need to feign humility.

  Although Huang Kun’s family was well off, it was the first time he saw so many clothes. He could not help but call out, “Big brother Wei, are all these clothes for me? This is the best!”


  In the end, Huang Kun was still a child. He had been scared witless previously, but he was able to quickly recover. Wei Xiao Bei could not help but scold him with a smile, “Hurry up, how many can you wear anyway? If you don’t hurry up, the Zombies below are going to come up.”


  These threatening words were better than anything else he could have said. When he heard Wei Xiao Bei, Huang Kun’s back was immediately filled with cold sweat. He hurriedly found a set of clothes and shoes. After changing into them, he returned to Wei Xaio Bei.

  Wei Xiao Bei did not let Huang Kun go guard the other escalator anymore, and instead, both of them returned back to the first escalator.

  When he looked down, he saw that the Zombies were still moving upwards, and they were currently on the sixth floor.

  Seeing this, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit worried. After all, a high class zombie like the Licker did not let out any sound when moving. If it truly hid in the department store, things would be bad.
