Yin Yiliu finally understood why the wolf said there were people in the jewelry store, but they couldn’t hear anything.
It was because these were indeed not ‘people’.

There were three women and a young man in the store with vivid appearances.
The various bruises on their bodies and the painful looks on their faces seemed like they were mourning the suffering they had been through when they were still alive.

Undoubtedly, these were the bodies of the people who were thrown into the jewelry store after being tortured to death by the evolved people in the supermarket.

But the strange thing was that their bodies didn’t rot quickly like the usual corpses that were bitten by maggots and bacterias, and even the smell coming from them was faint.
They could hardly be smelled unless they were close.

Their skins were either white or yellow, and there was no trace of livor mortis1 as if they were just asleep.

However, if one were to look closely, one would find that these people were like the scary monsters in fictional works.
Their bodies were like they had been hollowed out, with the skins sticking to the bones, thin as paper, leaning quietly against the wall.

The most frightening thing was that these ‘human skins’ had no eyeballs.
In place of the eyeballs were two bright red flowers blooming out from the holes, and the petals stretched out coquettishly.
A strange fragrance filled the air, masking the faint smell of the corpse and blood.

If it was the previous Yin Yiliu who witnessed such a scene, she would probably be so scared that she would have had nightmares for days, thinking that she had seen ghosts.
But now not only could she overcome her fear and examine carefully, but she also tried to identify the species of the flowers that grew from the eye sockets.

The glistening petals were blood-red in color like they were full from sucking blood.
The stamens in the middle swayed slightly even without the presence of the wind as if they were alive, sending shivers down Yin Yiliu’s back.

When the Zhao siblings behind them saw this weird scene as well, Zhao Qiyang was startled and yelled, “What the f*ck! Is! This!”

This was too disgusting and cruel.

“Those beasts are way too much.
Not only did they torture the people, they even did this to them after their death,” Zhao Qiyang said while gritting his teeth angrily.

Jin Yang shook his head and motioned for him to take a closer look.

“It shouldn’t have been done by them.
There were no knife wounds on these corpses.
It is impossible to drain all their blood and remove all their internal organs, and these flowers seem to have grown from within their bodies.”

The Zhao siblings agreed with Jin Yang after they had taken a closer look.
Despite the bruises on their bodies, their skins were undamaged without a single cut.

The more they watched, the scarier the weird flowers became, and goosebumps formed all over their bodies.

Yin Yiliu was also observing carefully.
If it wasn’t done by the evolved people, then there must have been something else.
She looked at their skins carefully but couldn’t find anything.

Suddenly, she saw a thin dark-green thread under one of the women, like a strand of hair.

The floor of the jewelry shop was paved with marble flowered tiles, so they didn’t notice it just now.
Her eyes followed the thin string, and she found that one end of the line was below the woman’s body, and the other end extended out of the door.

It was just that her eyes were dazzled because the designs of the tiles were too flowery.

She jumped to the ground and carefully extended her sharp claws, ready to pick up the thread.
When Jin Yang saw her actions, he wanted to remind her to be cautious, but he noticed the eyes of the woman connected by the thin thread suddenly moved.

The red flower that was previously blooming quietly abruptly shook its petals and flung around a half-meter long stamen from its center.
Jin Yang was quick to react.
As he lowered his body, a drop of the sickly-sweet liquid brushed against the top of his head before it splattered on the wall.
It looked like a droplet of blood.

A round hole was exposed from the center of the stamen, and in the hole, there was a circular sawtooth serration that was wriggling rapidly.
Jin Yang immediately picked up Yin Yiliu and stepped back.

The green thread was still hooked to Yin Yiliu’s claws when she was pulled by Jin Yang, causing the thread to be cut off.
The crazily squirming scarlet flower in the human skin suddenly trembled, and the stamen that was still swinging in the air also became manic.

After a while, two flowers withered, and the petals that had been red like they were dripping blood shriveled and blackened in an instant, rolling into a lump.

The originally three-dimensional human skin collapsed, giving Zhao Qiyang a fright.

“What the hell is this?”

Zhao Sihui was keeping a close eye on the remaining human skin flowers.
When one of them withered, the other flowers ‘came to life’.
Their stamens swung at them, and at the same time, the round hole in the center was squirming.

“Run!”

They didn’t dare to touch this weird thing, for fear that the liquids secreted would be poisonous.
They had no choice but to flee from the jewelry store.

Fortunately, the flowers had a limited attack range.
When they reached the entrance, they looked back and saw the thin and long stamens flinging wildly in the air, flicking dark red liquids all over the walls.

The air was filled with a nauseating sickly-sweet odor.

They dashed out of the store and breathed in the fresh air outside.

Zhao Qiyang was still frightened.
When he thought of the round holes in the center of the flowers that looked like mouths, he got goosebumps all over his body.

“What in the world were those? They can’t really be flowers, right?”

Zhao Sihui didn’t respond.
Obviously, they were flowers, a type of mutated plant.

It was capable of moving, hollowing out a human body, and even traveling within a short distance and growing its own mouthparts.

Plants had completely changed.
They were no longer the gentle and silent existence they had been in their impressions, and had gradually revealed their bloodthirsty sides in the apocalypse.

After Zhao Sihui had calmed down, she looked at Jin Yang and asked, “What should we do now?”

Jin Yang lowered his head and examined the ground carefully.
As expected, he noticed a few dark green threads.
He pointed to these barely visible threads and said, “Let’s check if the source of this thing is behind the stone wall.
If it isn’t, quickly break the wall down.”

But if it was, it meant that there were unknown strange things waiting for them behind the stone wall.

Zhao Sihui solemnly nodded.
Knowing that Jin Yang had difficulty walking, she dragged her silly brother along.
These threads were way too thin, and they didn’t dare to touch.

When the siblings followed the dark green threads towards the stone wall and saw the other end sink deeply into the wall, they fell silent.

There was something behind the wall.
