Chapter 120: How You Supposed To Be Here?!
Many people were spread out near the meat section, so Theodore saw several members of Cassian’s group running towards it like him. They also looked at each other in confusion.
"Who’s looking for items in the meat section?" Theodore asked one of the Cassian group members who came to the meat section.
"It looks like it’s David and Maria," said the pale-faced person, quite worried about his friend’s condition.
Earlier, Theodore heard a woman’s scream, considering. Considering two people were there, it seemed like they split up, so he didn’t hear the cryman’s scream.
There was no point standing there, so Theodore decided to go deeper into the trading section. But, just as Theodore was about to step inside, he felt his arm being held by someone.
"It will be hazardous if you go in there alone," Roxanne said worriedly; they didn’t need to risk their lives just for someone else.
"It’s fine. I’ll just check what’s going on there. If there’s any danger, I’ll run," Theodore replied as he patted Roxanne’s hand, which was holding it lightly.
Finally, Roxanne released her grip on Theodore’s arm and let him go inside.
Without wasting any more time, Theodore slowly walked in. He frowned when he smelled the unpleasant odor from inside. It wasn’t surprising, considering this area was filled with decaying meat.
"Why am I always unlucky and smell bad like this," Theodore muttered, cursing his luck regarding smells like this.
Theodore’s steps suddenly stopped when he heard his foot stepping on the liquid flowing on the floor. As Theodore looked down to see what he had stepped on, he was even more shocked to realize it was fresh blood. freёwebnovel.com
Theodore could tell that it wasn’t zombie blood because the color of the blood was still fresh red instead of greenish black. Either it was the blood of the flesh here, or worse, it was human blood.
"There’s no way they’re dead, right?" Theodore tried to think positively, not wanting to believe that the two members of Cassian’s group who entered here were dead.
While Theodore was calming himself down and trying to think positively about the not-so-good situation, he was surprised to hear a commotion from behind him.
It wasn’t long before Theodore saw Cassian’s figure running towards him.
"What? You’re here too, Theodore?" Cassian was quite surprised to see Theodore already here.
"Yes, I decided to enter after hearing the screams from inside this place," Theodore replied, nodding.
"I also went straight here after hearing the reports from the others. What have you found?" To find out what happened there, Cassian had to cooperate with Theodore, who was already there first.
"Look at this; I’m shocked to see it," Theodore said, pointing to the floor beneath his feet.
Cassian followed where Theodore was pointing. Cassian’s eyes rounded at the sight of the pool of fresh blood. He didn’t react too excitedly, but it was clear that he was just as surprised as Theodore had been.
"We’d better go deeper to find out what’s really happening here." Cassian didn’t want to guess. He preferred to explore this place first.
"You’re right. Be careful," Theodore replied, agreeing to Cassian’s suggestion, just in case he also took out his sword.
After that, they slowly moved forward to see the situation around this meat place. The place was shaped like a relatively large circle with several partitions inside that separated the types of meat.
When they saw the partition wall in front, Theodore moved forward cautiously, expecting something to appear from behind it.
Moreover, Theodore realized that the fresh blood flow was coming from there. Theodore slowly stepped forward and was followed closely behind by Cassian.
The moment they saw what was behind the wall, they froze in place, momentarily forgetting to move their bodies. The appearance behind the wall was astonishing.
Behind the wall was a large room filled with meat freezers. What made the place creepy was the fact that a very large dog was eating a human body in the middle of the room.
Not only was the dog’s mouth covered in blood, but it was tearing apart the human body in its grip with its sharp canine teeth.
As if realizing another human presence was nearby, the black-furred dog raised its head, and its blood-red eyes met Theodore’s, who stared at it in horror.
"Damn it! It’s aware of our presence!" Theodore reflexively raised his sword, preparing to fight the dog that he suspected had undergone a mutation.
But unlike Theodore, Cassian’s reflex was to create a barrier around the wall so the dog couldn’t escape.
From its movements heard from outside, Theodore thought that the dog had directly lunged at the protective wall Cassian had made and intended to tear it down.
"We better get out of here! That dog must have mutated," Theodore said, urging Cassian to leave.
Cassian nodded; he also had no intention of fighting the dog. In fact, Cassian felt his legs were challenging to move because he felt shocked when he saw the dog’s appearance.
Just as the two of them were about to leave the place, a man’s voice was heard desperately asking for help from inside.
"Chief! Help me, don’t leave me here alone!"
Cassian froze when he heard the voice asking for help. He knew that David, one of his members, was in this area. In a situation like this, Cassian couldn’t just walk away. fгeewebnovёl.com
Theodore also understood what Cassian was thinking at the moment; it was just that since this had nothing to do with him, he had no intention of helping him just like that. After all, Theodore had helped them a lot.
It wasn’t easy to deal with a mutated animal, especially since Theodore realized that the dog had gotten plenty of food; he could tell that they found the dog in a place full of meat like this.
"We’d better go out first to figure out what you’re going to do to save that guy," Theodore said.
Cassian nodded his head without saying anything. His mind was very frantic at the moment. How could he save David from that mad dog?
When they arrived outside the meat room, Cassian was immediately surrounded by members of his group who wanted to know what really happened there.
Theodore did not intend to interfere in their affairs; he would not do anything for now unless Cassian came to him and asked him for help.
