Chapter 104: Chapter 97: The Existence of a Behind-the-Scenes Boss"Unless what?" Wang Hao’s heart stirred, and he asked curiously.
On a theoretical level, he did indeed fall short of the official personnel, and he was very interested in hearing more.
"There are several different possibilities."
Smith replied, "The first is that these monsters’ ’rules’ are simply imitating human gluttonous behavior, so they possess some semblance of human common sense."
"It’s not rare for creatures to mimic humans; there are quite a few. They won’t eat anything humans don’t eat; feces isn’t on the human menu, so naturally, they avoid it."
I see.
"The second possibility is that they were once human and have retained a tiny amount of human thought. That’s why they seem to have a bit of wisdom..."
Wang Hao nodded slightly, "I think the second hypothesis is more likely because the fat lady we first encountered was wearing the clothes of a sanitation worker with the words ’Environment Protection’ on them."
"The huge creature that just passed by may have been wearing a security guard’s uniform, only it was stretched taut."
"They were quite possibly human when they were alive. They might even have been the original staff of this mall, only we don’t know why they turned into monsters."
"Is that so?" Smith’s eyes widened as he suddenly thought of something.
The terrifying notion made his whole body stiffen.
Wang Hao said, "If that’s the case, it means these Gluttons were indeed infected from humans, but they’re only low-level minions."
"In this area, there must be a true source of infection, transforming normal people into Gluttons."
"Uh... no wonder these Gluttons don’t
"Then let’s focus on searching rooms that haven’t been opened."
Wang Hao picked up a plastic basin that had been crushed underfoot, "I want to check the restrooms for water. There should still be some clean water in the pipes. Getting some water would be a considerable gain."
Smith nodded earnestly, indeed, water was extremely important.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly!
Wang Hao’s body trembled as he heard the sounds of heavy, rapid footsteps. At the same time, Smith, following behind him, showed a panicked look.
"Something’s coming!!!"
The dust rose in a flurry.
A fat uncle with a face covered in grease streaks charged around the corner, like a heavy-duty truck bursting from the darkness, overturning the debris on the floor once more.
The Glutton ran up to Wang Hao with blood-red eyes fixated on him and began to beg for food, "I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry! Give me something to eat, please!"
From the sound of the footsteps to the appearance of this uncle, it all occurred in less than two seconds.
In that time, he had sprinted a distance of at least 30 meters!
Wang Hao took a deep breath, staring intently at the newcomer. Was this an infection source?
It seemed... not to be.
Whether the other had intelligence was yet to be determined.
He tried to negotiate, "Uncle, where are you from? Do you have kids at home?"
This Glutton was two meters tall, probably weighed 300 kilograms, and it was a mystery how such a huge body could run so fast... peculiar things truly defy logic.
Judging by speed, humans were no match, and even Bolt would likely be easily caught if he were on the scene.
"Uncle, how’s business today?"
Wang Hao clearly didn’t expect the Glutton to answer; he was just engaging in casual conversation, maybe it could awaken some human nature in his adversary?
After asking twice, the uncle had no reaction.
He shifted the topic, "There’s a famous dish from my hometown called ’pork intestine sashimi.’ I wonder if you’re interested, uncle?"
It seemed like the uncle understood the word "dish" and got somewhat agitated, shaking slightly, and the black hole of his mouth appeared to widen.
But "pork intestine sashimi" wasn’t really on the human menu, so it wasn’t too provocative.
"Is it really relying on common human knowledge?" Wang Hao pondered with a notion in his mind.
