The old man did not instantly reply. Instead, he continued to look at the zombie quietly with a gentle expression on his face.
Suddenly, the zombie struggled and the old man came back to his senses. He sighed deeply.
Yang Shao knew that he had to deal with this murderer if they wanted to escape and survive!
"Who was this zombie?"
"My wife. She was betrayed and turned into a zombie. Otherwise, we would have been just fine living in this basement."
The old man spoke slowly.
"I believe you've seen everything. You can decide who will become her food first."
As he was speaking, the old man saw the knife in Li Ran's hand. He smiled and added, "There's no point in fighting back. I've snatched a gun from a policeman. There were three bullets in it and I've already killed two people. Now, there's only one bullet left. I can only let one of you die painlessly. So, make your decision."
After that, he sat down on a chair some distance away.
Li Ran paused for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Zombies won't die without food, while we're still humans who are fighting to survive."
She looked at the old man but he was totally unfazed.
Since he was old, there should be no problems if they were to fight him. Besides, the people he had killed were just normal civilians.
Thinking of this, Li Ran clenched the knife in her hand tightly. She also wondered if there was a better solution.
"You are already fish meat on the chopping board. What else can you do?"
The old man chuckled softly. His patience was running thin. He stood up and took a mask from a box that was behind the table. Then, he put the mask on.
After that, he mumbled, "How pitiful. You're still thinking of resisting. Aren't you a little naive? If that's the case, then let me make the decision for you."
"Originally, I wanted to hear you guys argue. However, it seems like you are different from the two brothers that I have encountered before."
While speaking, the old man also brought out a watering can. There was some unknown liquid in it. He sprayed the liquid at Li Ran and Yang Shao.
Li Ran instantly held her breath.
However, the old man kept spraying until Li Ran could no longer hold her breath.
Yang Shao was the first to faint.
Li Ran had no other choice.
This was an emergency.
She took out the iron ball and disappeared into the mysterious space.
What she did gave the old man a fright. It was very unexpected.
His hands were trembling.
For a moment, he was stunned.
However, he quickly remembered that in this abnormal world, there were people with special abilities.
"Invisibility."
"Even if you turn invisible, it's useless. You still need to breathe, don't you?"
The old man walked towards Yang Shao. He casually nudged him a few times. After seeing that Yang Shao had no reaction, he felt relieved.
Then, the old man tried to locate Li Ran.
However, no matter where he touched, he could not find her.
If he had not seen her with his own eyes, the old man would not believe that she was even there in the first place.
"How could she have just disappeared?"
"The world truly has changed. There's definitely a way for my wife to return to normal as well."
He looked at his wife who was on the bed.
She was still struggling.
"Don't worry. I'll feed you with fresh meat soon, okay?"
As he spoke, he dismantled the trap.
The net was sucked into the ceiling and Yang Shao's body laid on the ground.
The old man took a rope and slowly tied him up.
Then, he placed Yang Shao on the chair.
Once that was done, the old man sat on the ground and panted heavily.
All of that was hard labor. He barely had any strength left.
