"Did you find it?"

Old Bei shook his head but smirked inwardly. His companion was merely worried that he had been outpaced and didn’t truly intend to help at all.

Asking for information wouldn’t hurt.

The companion showed no sign of disappointment. Old Bei guessed correctly. His question was simply probing, or perhaps it had no hidden meaning and was just a straightforward question.

"Oh, I’m going up first then."

The companion gestured at Old Bei and headed toward the stairwell behind him. With Old Bei here, he figured that the entire second floor must have been searched. If the target wasn’t here, he might as well go up one more level.

After his companion left, Old Bei returned his gaze to the spider web. However, this time he noticed a thick layer of dust on the door, sparking a chain of thoughts.

"If I were being hunted and had to hide somewhere, the best option would be to avoid being found... A Level 4 Zombie is strong, but breaking through the wall would make a lot of noise. There hasn’t been any noise, so it clearly hasn’t left. It seems like this Zombie might be an intelligent one amongst its kind. If I were it, I would, out of a desire for safety, most likely hide on the highest level..."

Rustle...

With that thought, he withdrew his hand and headed up to the same direction as his companion. He only considered this possibility for a second. His companion couldn’t have possibly gone up the stairs so quietly so quickly. However, when Old Bei reached the top, he could no longer see his companion.

In his field of vision, from the third-floor stairwell to the mirror upfront and the office spaces on the side, there were no signs of anybody.

He felt something was off, but he couldn’t quite put a finger to it.

Rustle...

After a casual search around the third floor and finding no one, he noticed a trail of footprints near the stairwell on the other side. He touched his nose and followed the trail upwards.

The footprints continued all the way to an office door on the fourth floor. Old Bei looked up and saw a tightly closed door in front of him.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Hey, who’s inside?"

He knocked on the door three times, but there was no response. Old Bei bent down to listen, and he could faintly hear some movement inside.

His first reaction was that someone had already found the target and was sneaking a snack inside the room! At this thought, he felt a rush of adrenaline, not knowing whether it was excitement or anger. With a loud "bang", he kicked the door open, but the room was completely empty.

"What the..."

Clink.

A box by the door had collapsed from his vigorous kick, spreading dust all over the floor. Old Bei was stunned.

There was no one in the room. He shook his head. It felt as if his burning enthusiasm was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving Old Bei helplessly stepping back out of the room.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Old..."
