"What? Zombies?" Samiyi stood up excitedly from his wheelchair upon hearing Tan Rou's report, but he fell back down due to the lack of strength in his legs. "How could there be zombies in the royal city?"
"I don't know about that," Tan Rou said. "Last night we definitely saw creatures similar to zombies; they didn't know pain or fear, and even with bullet holes through their bodies, they could still stand up and move."
Samiyi's expression turned grave. "How could such terrifying things appear?"
"They were created by someone." Tan Rou showed Samiyi a lump of blood wrapped in cloth, a mixture of red and black. Last night it was too dark to notice the color of the blood. It was only this morning she realized it wasn't normal.
"What is this?" Samiyi reached out to touch it, but Tan Rou stopped him. "Like I just said, the zombies are artificially created. This is the blood that flowed from their bodies. You'd better not touch it, for fear it's poisonous."
