Chapter 59 Hell
Zhang Ye guessed correctly.
Ai Bing didn't even ask how those people were dealt with.
Instead, she devoted herself entirely to the villa complex's wall project.
Starting that day.
She almost spent every day in her room working on the plans.
Or on the construction site, checking the progress with Zhang Ye.
In just half a month.
The foundation hundreds of meters long was almost done.
And the cost was merely over a hundred workers on the verge of being scrapped.
Da Mengzi truly deserved to be called a special talent.
He executed any civil engineering related commands perfectly.
He would even silently bring a cup of freshly brewed tea when Ai Bing came for inspections.
The tea was freshly made.
The water was clean.
It took Zhang Ye and Ai Bing by surprise the first time it happened.
Later, they discovered that this little guy's hands weren't that clean.
He would even pinch things.
Every so often, he'd scurry over to the zombies moving things into the villa complex and reach into their bosoms for a handful.
Demanding bribes and all kinds of perks.
He lived up to the name.
Under Da Mengzi's 24-hour supervision, the construction site's progress soared.
The zombies' superior qualities were fully demonstrated in this moment.
Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness.
At just one command, they'd work from dawn until dusk.
Twenty-four hours of non-stop work until their bodies could no longer bear it.
Then Da Mengzi would take it upon himself to recruit more workers.
First, he brought back dozens of zombies from the construction site and locked them in the villa.
Latter, he took to the streets.
Anyone strong and healthy, with all limbs intact, had to be brought in to work.
Meanwhile, Luo Xin's department responsible for energy also began to exert its strength.
The entire circuitry of the villa complex had been restored.
What was missing was the generator.
With a generator, the equipment inside any villa could be operated.
The basement was of primary importance.
The lives of the rich were extremely luxurious, with the basement often featuring specialized cold storage to preserve certain specific types of food.
Such as vegetables, fruits, and some meat products that had not yet spoiled.
The generator inside the car was too weak.
Luo Xin then set her sights on the large shopping malls they hadn't visited yet.
Such places consumed a tremendous amount of electricity.
To deal with special situations, they usually had an independent backup power supply.
As they reached the entrance, a crisp system alert had already sounded in Zhang Ye's ears.
[A new talent marketplace discovered. Employee limit increased by 50.]
[Current employee limit: 170 people.]
Fifty more, just like that?
He silently noted the oddity, then turned his attention to Ai Bing beside him.
"We're about to enter the marketplace."
"Be careful."
"Did you bring the thing?"
The woman nodded, hastily pulling out the high-voltage electric baton that Luo Xin had modified from her waist.
This gadget was no longer of any use to Zhang Ye.
But it was perfectly suitable for her self-defense.
Not everyone can easily come to terms with killing.
After ensuring that every member of the team was ready, the two leading bodyguard zombies immediately pushed open the large doors of the marketplace.
A wave of massive noise hit them in the face.
"Ugh aaah..."
"Gurgle... wu..."
"Sshh..."
It sounded like countless people were moaning in a deep tone.
Or like something was stuck in their throats and they were desperately coughing.
The staggering silhouettes instantly filled the entire field of vision, leaving no empty space to be seen.
From the stores on both sides all the way to the elevators going up, every corner visible was filled with the figures of zombies.
Even the floor beneath their feet was incredibly smooth and moist.
Ai Bing looked down.
Her complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
A dark red viscous liquid was flowing beneath their feet.
One could even see next to them an arm that had been gnawed to the bone; the mix of red and white bones was covered with fine bite marks.
Wang Hu and Du Chao, who had originally been following behind, had somehow made their way to the front.
Their complexions were equally as ashen.
How were they to proceed?
The scattered bones could be seen everywhere.
Blood flowing like a stream.
And in front of them, the heads of zombies rolling and entangling like a mass of worms.
This was no longer a marketplace.
It was hell.
It seemed there were only two possible outcomes waiting for them.
They could turn around and flee.
Or, they could become nourishment for the thousands of zombies inside the marketplace.
But the choice was not in their hands, it lay with Zhang Ye, who had been silently observing the environment around them.
His gaze had been fixed on the elevator some hundred meters away.
The zombies there seemed extraordinarily dense.
Was it jammed?
