Von's heart felt heavier at each passing second as he gazed at the sheer amount of zombies within his view.
For every ten meters of distance at least four zombies were idly wandering around under the faint light of the sun above the glass curved roof.
Von breathed in and out consciously, trying to stay calm and composed lest he attracts the attention of the horde. His breathing became rhythmic as his sharp eyes flickered on all directions, searching for any possible pathways to a safe zone.
Von's eye lit up upon spotting a small empty clothes store up ahead. it looked like he had to some how get around the zombies on the pathway or rush though them.
"Rush in or sneak in.." Von quietly contemplated his options
Von ruled out on forcing his way in for obvious reasons.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
'It doesn't look like there are other ways to get there.. And I don't think the previous trick would be a wise choice either'
Von had already considered that not all zombies may just rely on ears, a few may actually have the ability to use other senses without a problem. If he were to attract such zombies here, it would undoubtedly alert the rest of the horde towards him. Even if there were no such zombie, a single mistake on his part may lead to the gathered horde to completely wipe him out.
"I guess it's time to use those.." Von gazed at the zombies blankly and whispered to himself.
...
Von sighed tiredly after sneaking around and setting up every item required for the plan.
He stared at the shopping center from afar after quickly confirming that everything was prepared.
"10.. 9.. 8.. 7.." Von's stare stayed as he begun to countdown from ten.
The heads of every zombie snapped towards
a certain direction as a sudden ding invaded the ears of every zombie within the shopping center after Von called out the final digit.
The scattered horde around the shopping center started gathering towards the source of the sound until pushing and close contact became univatable.
The crazed mobs eerily seized moving after the sound abruptly stopped. It looks like that the sound, from an alarm actually broke due to the hectic pushing of the horde.
Von's boorish eyes didn't change. Suddenly, another series of sound came from another alarm not too far from the previous one. This kept repeating, each time getting closer to the exit until finally. They had gathered around a loud siren of a car far from the shopping center.
Von didn't let the chance out of his grasp and reached the entrance in an instant. He looked at the empty place from left to right upon entering without looking back.
