Several minutes later, every room on the first floor had been searched thoroughly, yet there was no sign of Yang Jia.
Ling Mo's sense of foreboding grew more pronounced. Why hadn't that person come down yet?
"What's going on? If there were zombies upstairs, they would have been attracted down here by now. Since there's no danger upstairs, why hasn't he come down yet? Could he have found something?"
Meng Jiayu also frowned and grasped the knife in her hand, ready to head upstairs to check.
Ling Mo hesitated for a moment but then said, "I'll go with you."
Originally, Ye Lian and the other two ladies wanted to follow, but after some thought, Ling Mo asked Xia Na and Li Yalin to stay downstairs. That way, even if something happened, neither side would be completely vulnerable.
It wouldn't do for everyone to go to the second floor; some had to remain at the entrance to guard against the sudden appearance of zombies or mutant wolf-dogs.
