Even though the corpses in the mourning hall had heard that they could leave, they were still cautious and cautious. None of them took a step forward. It was not until Zeus slowly moved to the side and stepped out of the hall that the corpses finally began to move. However, they exchanged glances with each other, and none of them made the first move.
Since these posthumans were able to survive the apocalypse, they were not incompetent.
After all, Zeus was still standing in the mourning hall. His head was pressed down by the ceiling, and his neck felt as if it was about to snap. His large eyes were staring at them without blinking.
He moved his head horizontally, and there was a smile on his face. It was as if he was waiting for the corpses to walk past him. Under his gaze, one of the corpses, who vaguely looked like a female, finally couldn't take it anymore. She bit the bullet and whispered, "Let's go together!"
The corpses looked at each other and nodded. Then, they rushed toward the door as fast as they could.
Their caution was in vain because Zeus didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping them. With a shocked look on their faces, the corpses rushed out of the mourning hall smoothly. They plunged into the white sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Sanjiu slowly raised her head and looked at the central hall.
The plump corpse was trembling all over. Even his stiff face couldn't hide the fear. However, he didn't follow the other group of corpses.
"Why are you still here?" Zeus asked with a smile. He straightened his silk robe with his thumb and middle finger.
"I … I'm too excited to see you, so I can't walk," the plump corpse said, bowing. The fat corpse nodded and bowed, "You guys go first, go first … I'll go last, it's not too late."
Hearing that, Lin Sanjiu and the grand prize looked at each other. Although Zeus's form was strange and unpredictable to the Olympians, it was not to the extent that he could not even walk properly. Besides, he had escaped once in the beginning. Soulsqn straightened her body and shouted, "How can you still think of taking the mourning hall at a time like this?! Why do you want this stupid thing that only knows how to sleep? "
The fat corpse was taken aback. He quickly waved his hand and took a few steps back. "No, no, no, I don't have such thoughts …"
"That's good." Zeus suddenly let out a long sigh and patted his chest. "Because this thing is mine."
The fat corpse immediately shut his mouth and glanced left and right. In the next second, his body turned into a shadow and dashed out of the mourning hall.
Zeus turned his long neck, his brown hair rustling against the ceiling. He craned his neck forward at a ninety-degree angle as he watched the fat corpse disappear through the door.
By the time he turned his head around, Lin Sanjiu had already retreated to the shop owner's corpse. Just when she was about to crouch down, she froze when her eyes met the owner's huge eyes.
"What do you want?" Zeus's tone was very loving.
"I will collect his corpse," Lin Sanjiu said coldly.
"You can collect his corpse, but don't touch my things." Zeus's eyes were as big as teacups as he looked around. The grand prize had been carrying the birdcage on his back. When he saw Zeus's reaction, he and Soulsqn moved closer to Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu frowned slightly and crouched down.
When her gaze and palm fell on the body of the shopkeeper, the doubt and surprise that rose in her heart dissipated. The shopkeeper did not seem to know what hit him, even in death. His face was still covered in bruises, and his eyelids were still half-open, as if he had just woken up from a nap.
Lin Sanjiu reached out her hand and closed his eyes. The moment the shop owner closed his eyes, he disappeared from her palm.
"How I spoiled you! I have fulfilled all your requests!" Zeus clasped his hands together and sighed. "Let's go!"
The few of them followed him out of the mourning hall without saying a word. Lin Sanjiu and the others were shrouded by the white mist of the morning sun.
As soon as the sun rose, all the warmth from last night completely dissipated, leaving only a cold and desolate place.
It seemed that it was getting late. Not only had the umbrellas returned to the ground, but most of the posthumans in the resting area had also left. Only a few figures were left in the distance. They were probably not participating in the competition today, nor were they going to watch the competition. No wonder Zeus's appearance did not cause any commotion in the resting area.
"Wait for me. I will go and see how I can collect this house," Zeus said as he straightened his long neck.
Zeus straightened his neck, which was dozens of centimeters long, and walked back to the wall of the mourning hall. Lin Sanjiu stared at his back for a moment. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She activated her [Mosaic Censorship] without realizing it.
She felt a chill on her arm. When she turned around, she saw the grand prize's hand resting on her arm. When their eyes met, the grand prize shook his head, and Lin Sanjiu suppressed her impulse.
"Yo, where's your friend? What's his name?" Zeus had put away the mourning hall. As he walked toward Lin Sanjiu, he asked in a sweet voice, "Look, there aren't many people left here. Don't try to fool the highest god."
"His name is Puppeteer," Lin Sanjiu replied in a low voice. Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice and replied softly, "Don't worry. We have agreed to look up the rules of the tournament together today."
She just needed to hold it in until she met Puppeteer!
Zeus looked at Lin Sanjiu and suddenly burst into laughter. It was as if he was hiding something funny in his stomach, but Lin Sanjiu was oblivious to it. His shoulders shook as he laughed for a long time. After a while, he craned his neck forward and stared at them. "I'm afraid that you guys can't find him."
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She exchanged a look with her grand prize, and both of their faces darkened. They didn't even have time to respond to Zeus. They grabbed the flesh worm on the ground and dashed toward the direction they came from last night.
Zeus's bare feet slapped against the ground as he quickly caught up with them.
The umbrella that they used to rest last night was nowhere to be found. Puppeteer and his puppets had also disappeared from the resting area along with it.
Two humans and an insect ran madly around the place where they were last night. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty resting area. Looking around, they could only see a few people sitting or lying against the stone wall, but they did not recognize any of them.
"Did he go out? Did he go to the arena? "
Lin Sanjiu's forehead was already beaded with sweat, and the morning breeze had chilled her. As soon as the thought popped up in her mind, she rejected it. She stopped.
In the next second, she suddenly turned around and lunged at Zeus like an arrow that had left the bow.
"Sis!" Ji Shanqing called out from behind her in panic.
"What did you do to Puppeteer?" With bloodshot eyes, Lin Sanjiu roared and charged toward the tall figure behind her. Her body glowed as Mrs. Manas' [Defense Forcefield] enveloped her. However, before her [A Twinkle in the Sky] could reach Zeus, Lin Sanjiu abruptly came to a screeching halt and stopped in her tracks.
Just when her alarm bells went off, Zeus suddenly craned his neck and smiled at her and the grand prize meat worm behind her.
His layers of flesh skin rose so high that it covered his ears. Zeus raised his hand and beckoned at them, "Cut the crap. If you can't find him, follow me."
His words seemed to carry some kind of force field. Before his voice trailed off, they lost control of their bodies. Their legs gave way and they rolled toward Zeus. The stone floor was still flat, but they felt as if they were sitting on a landslide. No matter how hard they struggled, they still fell all the way to Zeus's feet.
"If you don't leave now, I will think that you are not sincere."
Zeus lowered his head. His eyes were as big as teacups as he smiled. "You guys, follow me to the new arena."
