Salted Fish Zombie - Chapter 1.3

Silence filled the bus again.

There seemed to be a wind blowing outside, and it shook the tree branches on both sides of the road.

The wind must be very strong to bend such thick branches, but, somehow, they still couldn’t hear the sound. When the inside of the bus was silent, the world also fell into deep silence.

You couldn’t even hear the bus driving normally on the road. The bus didn’t seem to need any energy to start, and it slowly shuttled through a world where there was no sound.

They didn’t know where it would take them.

“You’re lying.” The actor said to Ning Su. “If you saw so many moving dead bodies, how can you be so calm, with no expression of surprise or fear?”

Ning Su: “I have facial paralysis.”

“…”

“The speed of the bus is so fast, passing by in a flash. You, how can you tell at a glance that there are 120 moving corpses inside?”

Without giving Ning Su a chance to speak, the actor sneered, “A moving corpse, ah, I have indeed seen it in the zombie movie I acted in. Do you really think there are zombies?”

The muscular man who was still holding her hair suddenly realized. “Do you want us to stay on this bus?”

As soon as he finished speaking, an emotionless electronic voice sounded on the bus.

[Please don’t leave the bus, or you will bear the consequences. ]

The timing of this electronic sound was too subtle, as if Ning Su and Zhu Shuangshuang really lied so they would not leave the bus.

Several people on the bus looked at them with hostility.

“What is your purpose?”

Seeing that the two were being targeted and surrounded, the little Taoist priest behind suddenly stood up, and he repeated what he had just said to Ning Su loudly to divert the conflict, “I think there is something wrong with that driver!”

The muscular man stopped, thinking that he was about to go to the driver to stop the other just now, but was interrupted by the girl’s scream.

He changed his footsteps and walked towards the driver again. He wanted to get out of the bus now more than before.

But after taking two steps, he stopped hesitantly.

From the beginning to the end, the driver drove in silence, without looking back and without speaking.

Before the hearse and the dead bodies were mentioned, he could still say that the driver was driving seriously while staring at the road ahead. But after those things were mentioned, the driver was still silent, not even looking back. This made the muscled man feel a little uncomfortable.

There were many people who thought like him.

They hadn’t seen the driver’s face, they could only speculate from the wavy hair on the back that it should be a female driver.

The little Taoist stood up and looked at the back of the driver, took a few steps to the right, continued to look, and then said to the muscular man: “Can you see the driver in the rear-view mirror?”

Just now everyone was immersed in anxious emotions, and didn’t think of this basic common sense.

In fact, they didn’t need to go near the driver. They should be able to see her from the rear-view mirror.

Besides the left and right sides of this bus, there was also a rectangular mirror in the middle.

Oddly, no one on the bus could see the driver in either mirror.

The man in the suit shook his head. “I can’t see it.”

The muscular man asked the actor again, “Can you see it ?”

The male actor pinched his hands. His expression was hideous. “I can see the driver’s seat, but I can’t see the person.”

At this moment, the muscular man’s expression changed a little. But he didn’t give up and asked the people behind him in different directions.

Except for those who dare not look in the rear-view mirror, he got the same answer every time.

People in different directions on the bus – front, back, left, and right — had the same answer. They could only see the driver’s seat, but they couldn’t see the driver in the three mirrors. The driver was just sitting there and driving.

The bus fell into an eerie silence again.
