The person still wouldn’t admit it.
So stubborn?
Wang Tao had thought he was just being tough-mouthed and prepared to poke further, but after seeing the frightened expression on his face, which seemed to carry a hint of grievance, Wang Tao temporarily stopped and let him go. “What’s your name?”
“I, *cough cough*—my name is Seventh Brother Yang… I really wasn’t sneak attacking…”
Seventh Brother Yang knelt on the ground again, covering his chest and coughing. He felt so wronged!
Previously, he had clearly seen from upstairs how Wang Tao had decapitated a zombie with an axe-Wang Tao dealt with the zombies in the square like playing Whack-A-Mole!
Only those who had truly fought with zombies could comprehend how strong Wang Tao was! Wang Tao alone could probably easily take on their whole group!
In the face of such a powerful figure, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him even if he had ten times the courage!
The reason he had sneaked down was that he had clearly seen Wang Tao enter the mall from upstairs but hadn’t gone up.
Their boss had no idea what Wang Tao was doing down there, or even if he had left from somewhere else, so he was sent to check things out.
But before he could even see anyone, he was taken down, and he wasn’t even given a chance to plead his case.
During that brief minute, Seventh Brother Yang felt like he had died several times over.
The devil, this man was simply the devil!
“Really not sneak attacking me?” Wang Tao said, somewhat speechless, but without the slightest hint of an apology. After all, this man was lying-that was a fact. Even if he wasn’t sneak attacking, he definitely was up to no good.
“I’ll give you a chance to explain. If I’m not satisfied with the reason, well, sorry…”
Wang Tao swung the steel spiked baseball bat in his hand, his tone indifferent.
“*Cough cough*—”
Seventh Brother Yang felt a sense of urgency. Although Wang Tao hadn’t specified what he meant by “sorry,” he didn’t dare to gamble. Moreover, after a minute of interaction, he knew this person was definitely not someone to trifle with. But coming up with a reason was not so straightforward-he couldn’t possibly say that his boss was purposely wary of the other party!
The boss… That’s right!
Seventh Brother Yang suddenly had an idea.
*Cough cough*, it’s like this. Our boss saw you coming and wanted me to invite you to come up! Yes, it’s an invitation; I’m here to invite you!” Seventh Brother Yang was quite satisfied with his own excuse. He wasn’t here to sneak attack, but to extend an invitation! This big guy had misunderstood! Under these circumstances, he also didn’t expect the other party to apologize; he just hoped he wouldn’t be tormented.
“Oh? The boss? To invite? How many people do you have?”
Wang Tao asked directly.
“Our boss is Cao Xin. He used to run a clothing business here; I’m his employee. There are four of us in total, on the top floor! Our boss would like to invite you upstairs for a chat…”
Seventh Brother Yang dared not hide anything and quickly disclosed this information. The invitation was fake, though, and he felt that Wang Tao wouldn’t dare go…
Wang Tao knew this man wasn’t telling the truth.
But now, with over one thousand HP, an Ability, steel plate armor, a Rush Right Arm, and a gun loaded with bullets at his waist… With his strength, if he couldn’t beat certain zombie monsters, well that’s one thing, but he couldn’t beat a few people? Wang Tao also wanted to know what was really going on at the first floor of the mall, whether any special zombies had been there…
Of course, if it was all a misunderstanding and the survivors really were decent folks, then he could recruit them to the base. Getting a survivor would indeed increase a lot of Contribution Points.
“Lead the way!”
Wang Tao stated simply.
“Ah? Oh, okay…”
Seventh Brother Yang felt somewhat miserable, as he hadn’t expected the big man would actually want to go up! If he went back, he feared he might be skinned by his boss, but when it came to resisting Wang Tao, he lacked the courage, so he could only lead the way upstairs, feeling aggrieved.
Wang Tao followed Seventh Brother Yang in a relaxed manner, yet his Spirit was highly tensed. Although he felt he could handle these survivors, he wouldn’t be careless.
The stairs of the old mall were wide, with good visibility. It didn’t take many steps before Wang Tao saw the people upstairs.
There were three people in total, matching the number Seventh Brother Yang mentioned. They were all holding sticks, steel pipes, and such Weapons.
Seeing Wang Tao come up, these people appeared somewhat surprised. They all looked at the bald man in the middle.
The bald man glared at Seventh Brother Yang sternly and then an extremely polite smile spread across his meaty face.
“Hello! My name is Cao Xin. I used to do some clothing business here…”
It wasn’t until Wang Tao got closer that he saw the tattoos on some of the exposed areas of Cao Xin’s skin.
Wang Tao didn’t discriminate against tattoos, but for someone in business to have such flamboyant tattoos-it raised the question if he was really into legitimate business.
“Hello, my name is Chen Zhuang,” Wang Tao bluffed.
“Welcome, welcome!”
The bald man extended his hands from a distance, and Wang Tao gave him the courtesy of shaking them.
Once the bald man was close to Wang Tao, he immediately felt an oppressive aura come over him, especially from the blood-stained axe at his waist-he felt he might not withstand a single blow from it…
The others felt it even more acutely. In their eyes, their boss was already a muscular, imposing man, who usually looked quite intimidating. But compared to Wang Tao, he was utterly outclassed. The boss’s stature was at least two sizes smaller than Wang Tao’s. Especially with Wang Tao’s skull mask and the bloody axes at his waist… he looked just like a fearsome villain straight out of the TV!
“Come, right this way!”
The bald man led Wang Tao energetically to the open doors of a room in the hall.
Wang Tao carefully surveyed his surroundings, especially the few men present. Not a single one was an Ability User, nor did they have Hidden Attributes. However, they had all killed zombies to some extent, with their HP mostly just over a hundred.
The boss had the most HP, boasting [205/205]. He must have killed around twenty zombies or so.
The layout of the third floor of the mall was similar to the first floor, divided into sections. However, other areas were blocked by debris. Only the areas to the left and right were passable.
The right side was where the bald man and his group were in the hall.
The left side had a small iron gate locked with rusty chains, which appeared to be a storage room. Wang Tao glanced at the iron gate and then followed the bald man towards the hall..
