Chapter 337: Mercenaries who indirectly caused the destruction of the Earth (14)
At this time, Louisa changed the bullets and turned to aim at the approaching zombies.
The noise eventually attracted the zombies' attention.
They roared and looked towards the reception room because they didn't see that the target of the attack was not moving quickly.
The people hiding inside the door couldn't see the zombies, but they could hear the growls getting closer.
Louisa's expression was calm and her shooting movements were smooth and easy, ensuring that every bullet would hit the zombie's forehead.
Kevin and Nora thought there were very few zombies based on Louisa's expression, but when they heard the bullets being fired, they felt there must be a lot of zombies.
They both had serious expressions, afraid that they would be distracted and miss the first opportunity to shoot.
As the zombies in front continued to fall, some zombies seemed to react and began to rush into the living room.
Cole soon saw the zombies rushing to the conference table. He quickly grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger, shooting through the zombie's knee. Louisa on the opposite side was shot in the head.
However, Cole's gun was not equipped with a silencer, and the gunshot quickly attracted the attention of all the zombies in the dance hall.
They swarmed into the reception room. Seeing this, Louisa simply picked up her submachine gun, jumped onto the conference table, and started shooting at the zombies' heads.
Hearing the sound of zombies swarming in, everyone realized that there were a lot of zombies in the dance hall.
Without time to think about why there were so many zombies in a dance hall, they ran towards Louisa.
However, the submachine gun's magazine of bullets was soon used up. Louisa grabbed the still hot muzzle of the gun and swung the zombie that was rushing towards her to the ground. She took the opportunity to pick up the assault rifle on the table and shot while moving.
Nora behind her helped her share the pressure.
Louisa saw from the corner of her eye that all the zombies in the ballroom had run into the conference room, so she yelled to everyone, “Go to the ballroom!”
Because of the loud gunshot, Cole didn't dare to shoot again to attract attention. He was the first to rush out, picked up a high stool and smashed it into the group of zombies, then ran towards the dance hall.
Cynthia and Ashton followed closely behind him, fearing that they would be pounced on by the zombies.
Ashton ran out without forgetting to close the half door behind him.
The action happened to be noticed by Cynthia, who pushed Ashton away and scolded him: "Are you crazy!?"
At this time, Nora also covered Kevin and Elise and ran out.
Nora turned around and fired the gun while yelling at Louisa, "Come here!"
Louisa just knocked down a zombie that was pulling at her legs with its hands, kicked another one away, then quickly ran from the conference table to the ballroom and quickly closed the other half of the door.
Before the zombies behind him pounced on him, he quickly closed and locked the two doors in one go.
Seeing that she was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ashton looked at Cynthia and sneered, "If we were a second slower, we would have been torn to pieces by the monster."
Cynthia knew she had misunderstood him, so she shrugged: "Sorry, it was a misunderstanding."
"Why are there so many monsters in the dance hall?"
There were corpses scattered all over the ground, it looked like a murder scene.
This scene made everyone feel cold.
Iris's face became paler and paler. She had never expected that such a cruel and horrific thing would happen at her daughter's first birthday party.
These people died because of their daughter's first birthday party.
Noticing Elise's emotions, Nora whispered to comfort her: "Ma'am, this is not your fault."
"No one would have thought something like this would happen," Kevin agreed.
Elise forced a smile, and after adjusting herself, she asked in confusion, "Why are there so many... monsters here?"
"Yeah, even though the dance hall is a popular place, there shouldn't be so many zombies, right?" Cole said.
Kevin raised his eyebrows. "Zombies? What a good name. They do look like zombies."
Although it is clearly dead, it can still act on instinct and is very aggressive.
Cole smiled and said, "I'm a fan of zombie movies!"
Nora was speechless. At this time, only Kevin was still joking around as if nothing had happened.
Faced with the question, Louisa guessed: "It seems like someone brought it in deliberately."
Perhaps the zombies originally in the courtyard garden were lured here.
Nora frowned. "Given how sensitive zombies are to sound, it stands to reason that some sound would be needed to lure them in."
"For example, the sudden sound of a piano?"
Everyone looked at an expensive grand piano in the corner. The white piano was splattered with solidified dark red blood.
The crystal chandelier flickered with faint light, casting mottled shadows.
The air was filled with the nauseating smell of decay and death, mixed with the lingering scent of perfume.
There was wind and rain outside the window, and thunder was continuous.
"The piano music will only attract a small gathering of zombies," Nora speculated. "Since someone brought the zombies here, they must have a purpose!"
Kevin and Ashton first set their sights on a closed door opposite.
"It was originally a concert hall," Eliza said, "but then it was converted into a restaurant."
"Again, the restaurant?" Louisa frowned.
Eliza said, "Well...it's like a cafe where we have afternoon tea."
"It could also be a restaurant," Nora added.
"It's just not that big. We seldom go there," said Elise.
If all the zombies nearby were lured here, then there must be no one in the small restaurant.
Louisa stepped forward decisively, only to discover that the handles on the double doors couldn't be turned at all!
It's locked inside.
"How about trying it from outside in the corridor?" Cynthia suggested.
"Stay inside and wait for me."
Looking through the window, there were no zombies in the corridor and the atrium garden, so Louisa pushed open the door leading to the atrium garden and walked towards the door of the concert hall next to it.
The result still didn't open.
Louisa frowned, looked around vigilantly, and then knocked on the door.
There was no reaction inside.
The structure of the rooms on the first floor is basically that each room has three doors.
If all the internal doors are opened, there is access between rooms, except for the doors facing the atrium.
If both doors can't be opened, it means there's someone inside.
There was no response from inside when she knocked just now, so Louisa knocked again regularly.
Still no response.
Just as Louisa turned around and decided to go back, a low and weak voice suddenly came from inside:
"......who?"
"Is there anyone inside?" Louisa quickly closed the door and listened attentively to the sounds inside.
"I'm Louisa, a former captain of the Marine Special Forces. Is anyone inside?"
Louisa didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of alerting the zombies hiding nearby.
At this moment, the sound of a lock turning was heard.
Then the locked double doors opened, one on the left. Louisa subconsciously leaned forward, then quickly took half a step back.
A tall shadow emerged from the darkness.
Louisa unexpectedly met a pair of green eyes.
The familiar green color made Louisa's heart skip a beat.
