《I Can Transform Into a Zombie》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Wang Hao, get out here now!¡± The muscular, strong Li Dong stood at the entrance to the dormitory and punched Wang Hao as soon as he came out, shouting angrily at him. ¡°What¡¯d you do that for?¡± Wang Hao asked indignantly as he wiped the blood away from his lips. ¡°Stop pretending you don¡¯t know.¡± Li Dong glared at Wang Hao and said threateningly, ¡°Xu Xin is my woman, and you actually went and peeped at her when she went to the bathroom. I¡¯ve got a good mind to kill you.¡± ¡°Peeped at her when she went to the bathroom? I didn¡¯t do that.¡± Wang Hao looked at Li Dong in shock. This was clearly a false accusation. ¡°Stop trying to defend yourself. Xu Xin was the one who told me this herself, so how could it be a lie? Forget it¡­since you¡¯ve helped me quite a lot these last few days, I¡¯ll let you leave this place alive.¡± Li Dong¡¯s expression darkened, and he pointed a finger toward the outside of the dormitory¡¯s large metal gates. Grrrh¡­Graaaghh¡­Grrrrh¡­ Right now, there were zombies roaming around under the strong sun outside the dormitory¡¯s large metal gates. Their bodies were completely rotten, and they gave off a terrible rotting smell. If any human went outside of those gates right now, they would surely run into some zombies. ¡°Li Dong, you¡¯re going too far. I took a huge risk going to the female dormitory with you the other day where we only managed to rescue three girls. ¡°And you picked the prettiest one for yourself, then gave the other two girls to Xu Chao and Ma Bing. Did I quarrel with you over this? Didn¡¯t I just shut up and suck it up? ¡°And now you¡¯re actually using something like this to falsely accuse me? Aren¡¯t you obviously just trying to bully me?¡± Wang Hao glared angrily at Li Dong as he shouted indignantly at him. ¡°Enough of this nonsense. I¡¯ll give you one more chance right now. You can go back and get your things. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to push you out right now,¡± said Li Dong. ¡°You¡­¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t do anything about Li Dong at all. Even though he was around the same height as Li Dong, he was exceptionally skinny and weak from years of watching too much porn. So there was no way he could fight Li Dong physically. In the end, Wang Hao had no choice but to give in. There was no way for him to compete with Li Dong in terms of strength. Wang Hao returned to his room, finished eating the half slice of bread on the table and drinking the leftover mineral water, and then packed his bags to prepare to leave. Just then, someone opened his room door. A pretty, young lady walked in wearing a black mini-skirt. She had a well- endowed chest and long, fair legs. This girl was Xu Xin. ¡°Xu Xin? Why did you lie and say that I peeped at you when you went to the bathroom? Why did you have to do something like that?¡± questioned Wang Hao. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I¡¯m the one who did that. We¡¯re in the Apocalypse now, and we don¡¯t have a lot of food left. A useless fellow like you is just a waste of our food rations. Li Dong felt bad chasing you away, so I had to help him by finding an excuse,¡± replied Xu Xin smugly. ¡°You¡­you¡¯re a girl, and you¡¯re actually so wicked.!¡± Wang Hao was feeling unusually furious inside. ¡°All right now, as your classmate, I¡¯m bidding you one last farewell.¡± Xu Xin chuckled coldly and left his room. ¡°Wow! This is the sort of mentality people have in the Apocalypse¡­¡± Wang Hao watched Xu Xin leave and felt so much regret rising in his heart. That day, the Apocalypse had happened to hit them in the morning as a bright blue flash suddenly appeared in the sky. After that, he lost consciousness. By the time he¡¯d woken up, he could see that the school was in complete chaos, filled with shrieking and crying. So many people who used to be his classmates had turned into rotting zombies. He could see that there wasn¡¯t anybody in the corridors of the dormitory, so he¡¯d quickly run out of his own room in order to shut the main metal gates of the dormitory. But just as he was shutting the gate, Li Dong had run over, slamming his hand against the metal gates. Wang Hao hadn¡¯t wanted to open the gates again, but since Li Dong had pleaded with him, sounding so miserable, he¡¯d decided to open the gates after all. Who would have thought that just three days later, the situation would have completely changed? Li Dong, who had pleaded with him so desperately then, was now chasing him out of the dormitory. This felt terribly ironic to Wang Hao. ¡°But it¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s no restart button in life. Otherwise, I would never have opened those gates for you. I would rather have watched you die out there than saved you.¡± But he also realized that once he left the dormitory, he would have to face countless zombies. Whether he could even survive was a huge problem, never mind get his revenge. He arrived back at the entrance of the dormitory and saw Xu Chao and Ma Bing there as well. Initially, he¡¯d thought that the two of them would say something to him, but his heart turned cold when he realized that there was nothing but coldness and disdain in the way they looked at him. ¡°These *ssholes¡­are really pieces of sh*t. I shouldn¡¯t have let them in that day.¡± Wang Hao cursed himself inwardly before walking toward the metal gate. ¡°You¡¯d better move fast. It¡¯s noontime, and there aren¡¯t many zombies around at this time, so you might still get out of here alive.¡± Li Dong smiled strangely as he said these words before taking out a key to unlock the dormitory¡¯s large metal gates, which he opened just a little. ¡°You¡¯d better hope I don¡¯t come back alive.¡± That was what Wang Hao turned to shout at Li Dong as he walked out of the metal gates. After Li Dong had heard those words, he froze for a few seconds before he snapped out of his daze and shut the metal gates again. ¡°Bro, do you think that Wang Hao will come back for revenge?¡± asked Ma Bing a little fearfully as he recalled the expression on Wang Hao¡¯s face as he left. ¡°Revenge? Revenge, my *ss! There are so many zombies out there, and it¡¯ll be a miracle if he makes it out of the school alive. If he comes back, he might as well be courting death,¡± said Xu Chao with great confidence. ¡°All right now, let¡¯s not talk about this matter anymore.¡± Perhaps Li Dong was feeling slightly guilty about the way he¡¯d treated Wang Hao after all. After he locked the metal gates again, he went back to his own dormitory room without saying a word. But once he thought about Xu Xin¡¯s fair, supple body, the tiny bit of guilt he¡¯d felt about Wang Hao had instantly disappeared. ¡­ After Wang Hao walked out of the dormitory, he started to quietly make his way toward the entrance of the school. Zombies were wandering all over the school now, so if any of these zombies spotted him, he would be in great danger. Grrrh¡­Grrrh¡­Graaaaah¡­ But things often didn¡¯t go the way one hoped. Wang Hao had only taken a few steps when he could already hear the groans and growls of zombies approaching him. Wang Hao turned and saw a movement in the bushes beside him, and a zombie popped out soon after that. The zombie¡¯s face had entirely rotted away and one eyeball was hanging from its socket, so it looked especially terrifying. ¡°I¡¯m really too unlucky, right? Looks like I won¡¯t be the star of the Apocalyptic world!¡± Wang Hao laughed to himself self-deprecatingly and then sprinted toward the main gates of the school. Even though he himself wasn¡¯t optimistic about surviving, his basic survival instincts still pushed him to run for his life anyway. Grrrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrrh¡­ But before Wang Hao could make it to the main gates of the school, he saw that several zombies had appeared in front of him and blocked his way. ¡°Sh*t¡­I¡¯m really doomed this time¡­¡± Wang Hao felt despair in his heart and also some regret. He had watched so much porn but had never been able to have the real experience, and now he was on his way to see the grim reaper. He was really indignant about that. This indignation finally turned into hatred toward Li Dong and Xu Xin. If Xu Xin hadn¡¯t falsely accused him and if Li Dong had given him one of the girls, he wouldn¡¯t be in this predicament right now. He was feeling really indignant and upset¡­people like that would continue living on, while he was going to become zombie food soon. DING! ¡°Congratulations on activating the Zombie King Evolution System. You have successfully opened the gates to the path of evolution. You may now check your own attributes mentally.¡± Suddenly, a mechanical voice had started speaking inside Wang Hao¡¯s head, and it shocked him so badly that he remained rooted to the ground. ¡°Zombie King Evolution System? I have a system now?¡± Wang Hao was a little stunned.v Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I¡¯ve hit the jackpot!¡± Wang Hao had thought that he was going to become food for the zombies one minute, and the next second, at this critical moment, he had actually activated the Zombie King Evolution System. The even more surprising thing was that all the zombies that had been making their way toward him earlier had suddenly all stopped coming after this system had popped up. It was as if these zombies no longer felt that Wang Hao was their prey. They had tilted their heads and looked at him for a bit before completely ignoring him. ¡°This system of mine is incredible. The zombies aren¡¯t trying to bite me anymore?¡± Wang Hao watched as all the zombies walked away from him, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. At this moment, a scene that looked like a screengrab from a game appeared in Wang Hao¡¯s mind, and there was a profile picture of a character as well. The profile picture of this character looked exactly like Wang Hao, and, to his surprise, there was even a full description of this character¡¯s attributes: Name: Wang Hao Form: Human Form (Can transform to Zombie Form) Level: Level 1 (0/1,000) Defense: 43 Attack: 48 Speed: 55 (The average human has 100 points per attribute.) Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. ¡°Zombie King Evolution System? But I¡¯m a human, and it actually allows me to transform into a zombie. Can I also revert to being a human again?¡± Wang Hao asked aloud in a puzzled voice as he looked at his attributes as shown in the system. The system replied, ¡°This system is built according to your requirements, so you can revert to your Human Form at any time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing! Turn me into a zombie.¡± After Wang Hao said these words out loud, he was terrified to find that his vision was slowly becoming blurry and, at the same time, his sense of hearing and smell had become incredibly sensitive. His ears could hear the rustling of grass in the wind, and he could even make out the sounds of people speaking inside the dormitories. What surprised Wang Hao even more was that he could feel an energy that was as powerful as a bomb within his body. He felt as if he had become superhuman and would be able to smash through walls with one punch. ¡°Have I really become a zombie?¡± Wang Hao opened his mouth and tried to speak, only to find that he could only make those terrifying groans and growls that only zombies made. He raised his arms and brought them up to his eyes. He saw that both his arms had become even thicker than Arnold Schwarzenegger¡¯s, his skin was blood-red in color, and his fingers now had slightly curved razor-sharp nails. ¡°I¡¯ve seriously turned into a zombie!¡± Wang Hao was so stunned by all of this. He looked at the information in his mind again and noticed that there had been some changes in the details: Name: Wang Hao Form: Zombie Form (Can transform to Human Form) Level: Level 1 (0/1,000) Defense: 430 Attack: 480 Speed: 180 Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. ¡°A zombie¡¯s defense and attack levels are so high?¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t help but exclaim when he looked at these new stats. After that, he looked at a zombie that happened to walk past him. A new piece of information appeared in his mind: Normal Zombie: Level 1 (Killing it will award you 10 XP) Defense: 58 Attack: 230 Speed: 69 Wang Hao didn¡¯t expect to be able to view the attributes of other zombies. This ability was amazing, and it would help him avoid a lot of danger. After that, Wang Hao didn¡¯t hesitate. He reached out and grabbed the head of this zombie that had happened to wander past him. BAM! The zombie¡¯s head instantly exploded when Wang Hao¡¯s hand grabbed it, and it slowly collapsed onto the ground. ¡°This level of attack is really not bad. It felt as if I was just grabbing a piece of tofu.¡± Wang Hao looked at his hands and was particularly pleased with them. He felt sure he would definitely be able to defeat Li Dong in a fight right now. But it was still going to be very dangerous if he used his current strength to try and defeat Li Dong. So Wang Hao decided that he would increase his abilities first before doing anything else. Then he¡¯d return to kill Li Dong and catch hold of that Xu Xin to teach her a lesson¡­ Wang Hao didn¡¯t intend to kill Xu Xin easily. That would be letting her off the hook without making her pay for what she had done. ¡°Revert to Human Form.¡± Wang Hao muttered this to himself. In an instant, his body had gone back to its original human form. Wang Hao looked down and checked himself all over, and an excited look could be seen in his eyes. ¡°Does this Zombie King Evolution System mean that I can kill zombies and humans continuously as a zombie in order to evolve? What will my final evolved state look like?¡± Wang Hao was becoming even more excited as he thought about all this. He felt as if he was going to become the king of the Apocalyptic world. ¡°Turn into a zombie!¡± Wang Hao gave another command and waited to turn into a zombie before going nearer to the zombies who were wandering around near him. He discovered that his body strength had increased a little after killing that zombie earlier. Since killing zombies and humans was able to increase his strength, he wasn¡¯t going to hesitate any longer. BAM! BAM! Wang Hao grabbed two random zombies¡¯ heads and made them explode on the spot, but he felt that his hands were too short, so he picked up a wooden bat from the ground and charged toward other zombies. These zombies had no intelligence and didn¡¯t know how to dodge an attack, so it was very easy for Wang Hao to kill them. In less than 20 minutes, Wang Hao had already finished off more than 50 zombies, and his attributes had gone up significantly. His vision had also improved tremendously, and his surroundings looked much clearer than before. But it wasn¡¯t so easy to go up in levels in this system. He had killed so many zombies already, but the system had remained silent. ¡°Revert to Human Form.¡± Wang Hao finally stopped after killing more than 80 zombies. He¡¯d stopped because he realized that he was hungry. Even though he was in Zombie Form, he would still feel hungry. So Wang Hao decided to find something to eat and then continue his zombie massacre after he¡¯d had his fill. Wang Hao walked through the armies of wandering zombies and reached the supermarket near the school. Sunshine Supermarket. The moment he walked in, Wang Hao saw a zombie sprawled on the floor, whose legs had been broken. Wang Hao looked at the white dress that the zombie was wearing and knew that this zombie on the floor had once been the female owner of this supermarket. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly. The lady boss of this supermarket had been still quite young, with a voluptuous figure, fair skin, and long black hair that reached her shoulders. When she smiled, it made one feel especially warm inside. But now, she had become an ice-cold corpse, though she continued to watch over the supermarket. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­ Wang Hao looked at the growling zombie version of the lady boss as she continued to groan and growl aimlessly, then he walked forward and ended her life. That was the only thing he could do for this lady boss who had once been so elegant and charming. After he¡¯d made sure the lady boss had stopped moving, Wang Hao looked toward the shelves filled with ready-to-eat food. He hadn¡¯t really eaten in a few days, and he couldn¡¯t endure it anymore. He marched up to the shelves, ripped open the package of some sausages, and stuffed them into his mouth. After one sausage made it to his stomach, the feeling of hunger decreased by quite a bit. Just then, a zombie walked past outside the door of the supermarket, but it completely ignored Wang Hao. Wang Hao was now sure that, regardless of whether he was in zombie or human form, none of these zombies were going to attack him anymore. ¡°This is the sort of Apocalypse I want. It¡¯ll be great if I could find a woman too.¡± Wang Hao picked up a meal-replacement drink and gulped down the bottle¡¯s contents. He was in an excellent mood as he thought about how he could use his current abilities to walk around freely and dominate the Apocalyptic world and obtain countless women for himself. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Hao continued to drink the meal-replacement drink, and he also took several biscuits, Snickers bars, beef sausages, and other random food from the shelves at his whim. Once he had finished eating, he pulled out a pack of expensive cigarettes from behind the cash register, lit one up, and enjoyed a smoke. This was the most expensive brand of cigarettes that the store sold, and one pack cost about 20 bucks. That had been enough money to last him an entire week before the Apocalypse. In the past, he had had to scrimp and save just to have enough money to buy cigarettes that only cost five bucks. But in the Apocalypse, everything was different. As long as you saw it and wanted it, you could have it for free. Wang Hao ate and drank his fill, then opened his backpack and filled it up with biscuits, sausages, drinks, and cigarettes. After he left the supermarket, he looked at all the wandering zombies that continued to mill around outside and started thinking, ¡°When I went to the female dormitory with Li Dong that day, we only went through the first floor and didn¡¯t dare to head upstairs. I wonder if there are any more girls upstairs.¡± Wang Hao figured that since these zombies weren¡¯t interested in biting him, and he had the ability to transform into a zombie at any time, he could try going into the female dormitory to take a look. If he was lucky, he might run into one of the school belles or something. But Wang Hao was in no hurry to get there. Instead, he transformed into a zombie again and picked up his wooden bat to continue his killing spree. Even though the zombies didn¡¯t bite him, his constitution as a human was simply too poor. Killing zombies was a laborious job, and his body couldn¡¯t hold up for very long, so he had no choice but to transform himself into a zombie. It was noontime and the hottest time of day, so there were fewer zombies wandering about. After more than ten minutes, Wang Hao had only killed some 20-odd zombies. DING! Just then, the mechanical voice in his head started speaking again: ¡°Congratulations on reaching Level 2. Your Defense, Attack, and Speed levels have increased. Also, you now have the chance to draw an additional Talent. Would you like to draw one now?¡± ¡°Draw an additional talent? Of course! Draw it! Draw one now!¡± said Wang Hao with great anticipation. DING! ¡°Congratulations on drawing the Talent, Zombie Bomb.¡± ¡°Zombie Bomb? What does that do? Can you elaborate?¡± asked Wang Hao questioningly. ¡°Zombie Bomb: A controllable Zombie will appear after use. Effect lasts for ten minutes. Every time you kill a zombie or human, you will get a 10 percent chance of obtaining one Zombie Bomb.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­this sounds pretty good. If I can control a zombie, then I can get a number of things done while ensuring my own safety.¡± Wang Hao was rather satisfied with the Talent that he had drawn, but felt that the duration of this effect was a bit short. But that was enough for him to do a number of things. After that, Wang Hao took a look at the attributes in his head and saw that there was now a huge change: Name: Wang Hao Form: Zombie Form (Can transform to Human Form) Level: Level 2 (0/10,000) Defense: 530 Attack: 580 Speed: 280 Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. Zombie Bomb: A controllable Zombie will appear after use. Effect lasts for ten minutes. Increase in level can increase the duration of the effect. Wang Hao looked at the increase in his attributes and got very excited. After all, ordinary humans only had 100 points in these attributes, but he had already managed to become five times more formidable than an ordinary human. This was crazy. ¡°Let me see how much stronger I¡¯ve actually become.¡± Wang Hao looked around him and wanted to find a heavy object to test his strength, but there wasn¡¯t anything suitable around him at all. So he just randomly grabbed a zombie and flung it. BAM! The zombie flew beautifully through the air more than ten yards away. ¡°Oh my god¡­becoming a zombie has made me too incredible, hasn¡¯t it!¡± Wang Hao was stunned for several moments. Thanks to years of watching too much porn, his body had remained weak and skinny, and he had a lot of difficulty trying to carry a person, never mind throwing a human ten yards away. But things had changed now. With the ability to become a zombie, he was now even scarier than a weightlifter. Right now, Wang Hao was confident that unless he was surrounded by a group of humans with knives, nobody would be a match for him in a fistfight. That¡¯s right. He was very sure that nobody in his school would be a match for him anymore. ¡°Now I can hop over to take a look at the female dormitory.¡± Wang Hao reverted to human form and headed to the female dormitory with the wooden bat in his hand. The main gates of the female dormitory were wide open, so Wang Hao walked right in. He had gone through the first floor before, and the surviving three girls had been rescued by himself and Li Dong. But Wang Hao still wanted to give it a shot, so he decided to search the place again. After he¡¯d confirmed that there were no more girls on the first floor, he headed up to the second floor. The state of the female dormitory was different than the male dormitory because when the Apocalypse had happened, Wang Hao had skipped class and was studying by himself in his own room, so he¡¯d managed to shut the main gates of the male dormitory at the critical moment, but that didn¡¯t happen at the female dormitory. When the Apocalypse happened, there was nobody in the dormitory to shut the main gates, so all the zombies were able to get in. As a result, many girls had ended up becoming victims of zombie attacks and turned into zombies themselves. Grrrh¡­Graahhh¡­Grrrrh¡­ Wang Hao looked at the female zombie wandering about in the corridor and his eyes suddenly widened. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Liu Qianqian? She actually became a zombie?¡± This zombie was wearing a short denim skirt and was someone who used to be in the same class as Wang Hao. Because she was pretty, Wang Hao often imagined being with her in his dreams and even wasted an entire box of tissues because of her. So the prettiest girl in his class had become a zombie so quickly after the Apocalypse hit. What a pity. Liu Qianqian¡¯s hair was a mess, but her skin and figure were the same as they used to be. Her face was void of any color, but it wasn¡¯t rotting yet. But she was a zombie after all, and Wang Hao definitely had no intention of doing anything with a zombie. BAM! Wang Hao swung his bat and knocked the female zombie in front of him to the floor. After that, Wang Hao continued to search the second floor. ¡°Hmm? Why is there tape at the back of the glass on this door?¡± Wang Hao stopped in front of one of the doors. Every room door in the female dormitory had a small square piece of glass, and the lady in charge of the dormitory would come round to check the rooms via this piece of glass every night. In the past, nobody would dare to cover up this piece of glass, because if they were discovered, the lady in charge of the dormitory would punish all the girls in the dormitory. So Wang Hao guessed that someone had plastered this piece of glass after the Apocalypse hit. ¡°Is there anyone inside? If there¡¯s someone inside, open the door,¡± Wang Hao stood in front of the door and called out quietly. RIIIP¡­ Someone tore away the tape behind the glass of the door after he called out, and an exquisite, gorgeous face appeared. When the girl inside saw that Wang Hao was standing outside alone with no zombies around him, she immediately opened the door. ¡°Hurry up and come in, it¡¯s very dangerous outside!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°She¡¯s so pretty¡­¡± Wang Hao stared at the girl in front of him. She had a curvaceous figure and long, fair legs visible under her short white skirt. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He couldn¡¯t believe his luck. He¡¯d actually managed to find a girl who was even prettier than Xu Xin. In that instant, Wang Hao felt as if the dormant energy that had been lying within his body all these years was about to explode. ¡°Why are you still standing there? Aren¡¯t you afraid of the zombies?¡± The girl looked agitated and anxious as she stretched out her hand to drag Wang Hao into her room since he¡¯d been standing still, just staring at her. Bang! After dragging Wang Hao in, the girl hurriedly slammed the door shut. She hadn¡¯t been given a gift like Wang Hao. She wasn¡¯t able to walk around without getting bitten. She had already witnessed how a lot of the girls that lived in her dormitory couldn¡¯t endure their hunger anymore and had tried to escape, but instead had all fallen victim to the zombies. That was why she had been so nervous when she opened the door earlier. She was afraid that opening the door would attract zombies to her room and she would end up getting attacked. But Wang Hao was extremely calm. He stared at the girl in front of him and looked at her chest, her legs, and then from her legs back up to her face. Her long black hair went past her shoulders, her eyes were large, clear, and bright, her eyebrows were perfectly arched, her skin was fair and flawless, her lips were nice and thin¡­ This girl was really very pretty. ¡°What do you want? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± She had started getting nervous when she saw how Wang Hao was staring at her as if he was a wolf or tiger staring at its prey. ¡°You¡¯re so pretty. I want you to become my woman.¡± Wang Hao looked at the girl in front of him and got straight to the point. If this had happened before the Apocalypse, there was no way he would have had the guts to say such a thing to the girl in front of him. That was because the girl standing in front of him now was the school belle, who had been treated as a goddess by almost every guy in their school. All the guys, including the rich and good-looking guys, had been after her. But he was just an ordinary-looking guy with a skinny, weak body, so there was no way Li Mengyao would even have given him a second glance. But things were different now. He had a powerful system, so when it came to a woman who caught his eye, he didn¡¯t need to hide his true thoughts anymore. ¡°You have got to be kidding, right? I¡¯m on the verge of dying of starvation, and you want to talk to me about something ridiculous like that?¡± said Li Mengyao. There was shock in her voice. She had clearly been stunned by his words. ¡°I¡¯m not kidding. I really want you to become my woman, and I want to take care of you. For your sake, I will go out and get food, and I will do my best to protect you,¡± said Wang Hao with a passionate look in his eyes. ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Li Mengyao immediately rejected him. If she wanted to find a man to rely on, she had to at least get one who was handsome and extraordinarily strong. Wang Hao was way off her idea of a desirable guy. ¡°Why? Just because I¡¯m not handsome? Or do you think I can¡¯t take care of you?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°What¡¯s the use of talking about all this? There are zombies everywhere, and I haven¡¯t eaten anything in two days. I¡¯m on the verge of starving to death!¡± snapped Li Mengyao before walking back to her bed and sitting down on it. She didn¡¯t think Wang Hao would be able to get any food out there. Most people were bitten by zombies almost immediately after they walked out of the dormitory. Wang Hao didn¡¯t know what Li Mengyao was thinking about. He smiled and said, ¡°So you¡¯ve been starving for two days? Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Wang Hao put his backpack down and pulled out a pack of sausages and a bottle of mineral water as he said, ¡°Look at all this.¡± ¡°Oh, my god! You¡­you have food! Give some to me!¡± When Li Mengyao spotted the sausages and the mineral water, she cast aside the pride she used to have as the prettiest girl in school. She stretched her hands out like a beggar asking him for some food because she was simply too hungry. ¡°You want to eat this? I¡¯ll give it to you then¡­¡± Wang Hao didn¡¯t tease Li Mengyao. He just handed the sausages and mineral water to her. Li Mengyao had been hungry for too long and didn¡¯t care what she looked like now. She ripped the packaging apart and started chomping the food down in large mouthfuls. The way she gobbled everything down resembled how Wang Hao used to gobble instant noodles after surfing the internet the whole night long. In no time, she¡¯d finished all the sausages and drunk half the bottle of mineral water. She had been so hungry and thirsty over the last two days and had been afraid that she was about to succumb to starvation soon. She now looked a little nervously at Wang Hao and asked, ¡°Do you have any more food?¡± Of course, Wang Hao had known that one pack of sausages wasn¡¯t going to be enough food for her. He patted his backpack and said, ¡°As long as you become my woman, all the food in here will be yours.¡± ¡°You¡­why are you being like this? I¡¯ve felt as if I was on the verge of starving to death. Why won¡¯t you save me from hunger?¡± asked Li Mengyao rather angrily. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but all this food here was obtained at the risk of losing my life. If you aren¡¯t going to become my woman, then why should I give you any food?¡± Wang Hao returned her question with another question and a calm look on his face. ¡°You¡­¡± Li Mengyao didn¡¯t know what to say as she looked at Wang Hao. It was true that food was the most valuable thing in the world right now, so there was no reason why he should give her food for nothing. Why would anybody give up their chance to survive in this Apocalypse by giving it to her instead? ¡°All right now, I don¡¯t want to force you. If you¡¯re not willing to be my woman, then just pretend I never said anything,¡± said Wang Hao as he reached out to grab the handle of the door. If Li Mengyao wasn¡¯t willing to be his woman, then there was no need to continue wasting any time on her. After all, he had such a powerful system now, he didn¡¯t have to worry about being unable to find a pretty woman. In fact, he might even be able to get a celebrity to become his woman. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Li Mengyao didn¡¯t want to let Wang Hao leave. After the Apocalypse had happened, she had been suffering from loneliness, and fear as well. So since she¡¯d finally found a fellow human being, she wasn¡¯t going to let him go so easily. Besides, since she didn¡¯t have any food, she didn¡¯t know how many more days she could remain in this room. So Li Mengyao grabbed onto Wang Hao¡¯s wrist. ¡°You¡¯ll agree to be my woman?¡± asked Wang Hao excitedly as he felt the smooth skin of Li Mengyao¡¯s hand on his wrist. ¡°Let me¡­let me think about it for a while. Right now my stomach hurts from being so hungry, don¡¯t force me to make a decision right now,¡± said Li Mengyao. ¡°I won¡¯t force you, but I don¡¯t have enough patience to wait for you. If you¡¯re still undecided, I¡¯m going to go.¡± Wang Hao reached for the door handle again. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­I¡¯ll¡­I¡¯ll agree to it.¡± Li Mengyao looked as if she was struggling with a dilemma, but her stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier. In the end, as tears rolled down her cheeks, she stretched out a hand toward Wang Hao and said, ¡°Give me some food. I¡¯m willing to be your woman.¡± As Wang Hao watched this scene unfold, he became so excited. He opened his backpack and pulled out all the sausages, biscuits, and drinks that he¡¯d kept in it and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you all of these.¡± Li Mengyao was so hungry. She grabbed the sausages and ripped open the packaging and started eating. She only felt better after eating several sausages. ¡°Can we start now?¡± asked Wang Hao because he really couldn¡¯t wait anymore. Li Mengyao froze for a moment when she heard this question. Then, she finally nodded and quietly said, ¡°Okay.¡± Wang Hao had been without a girlfriend for so many years and had watched so much porn that he knew a lot of things in theory but had never had any experience with women. The moment he saw Li Mengyao nod, he couldn¡¯t hold himself back anymore and pounced on her. Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Half an hour later¡­ ¡°Boohoo¡­sob sob¡­¡± Wang Hao looked with wide eyes at Li Mengyao, who was crying away. He felt very surprised and he asked, ¡°How¡­how was that your first time? Didn¡¯t everyone talk about how your boyfriend was some tall, handsome, rich guy who drove a BMW?¡± ¡°Tsk! I let you have your way with me, and you still don¡¯t believe what I say? The boy driving the BMW is my older brother. Please just leave me alone.¡± Li Mengyao was so upset when she heard his question that she wished she could grab a knife and stab a few holes in Wang Hao. Wang Hao became even more excited when he heard her response. He simply couldn¡¯t believe his luck. He had actually managed to get the school belle¡¯s virginity. If this had happened before the Apocalypse, this news would definitely have been enough to rock the school. ¡°Oh, I see, I get it now¡­but then again, you¡¯re not on the losing end either. I may not be handsome, but that was my first time too, so we¡¯re even,¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. ¡°You¡­I¡¯m going to ignore you¡­boohoo¡­¡± Li Mengyao turned her back to Wang Hao and continued to cry. Wang Hao didn¡¯t say anything and reached out to hug her. As he thought about what had happened moments ago, his heart started palpitating again. Perhaps the process hadn¡¯t been too comfortable since both of them were doing it for the first time. But the feeling of conquering the school belle had made him feel so accomplished. The more Wang Hao thought about this, the more excited he got. After a while, he started getting aroused again. So he flipped onto her again. ¡°You¡­¡± Li Mengyao got a terrible shock, because she hadn¡¯t expected Wang Hao to go at it again. But, after some hesitation, she didn¡¯t resist him in the end. ¡­ Three times later, Li Mengyao was really exhausted. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao dug out a cigarette from his pants pocket and started puffing away as he leaned against the wall. Having a cigarette after being satisfied really made him feel mightier than a deity. These wise old sayings were the best. He looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed and felt especially satisfied inside. He had confessed his love to three girls before, but not a single one had agreed to be his girlfriend. But now, he had ended up having sex with the school belle just like that. My goodness. And all of this was thanks to the system he had gotten. ¡°The feeling of having a truly powerful system is great, but¡­¡± Wang Hao suddenly thought of another strange occurrence. He had watched so much porn and wasted so many boxes of tissue, that his body was generally weak and skinny. But now he was surprised that he had been able to last long enough to have sex three times. Li Mengyao was seriously tired out. She would never have imagined that Wang Hao would have wanted it again and again, or that he would have been able to last so long. Gururu¡­ Just then, Wang Hao¡¯s stomach started growling. ¡°It¡¯s time I ate something. I¡¯ve got to go outside and see if there are any supplements for me to take. For the sake of my future happiness, I must not slack off.¡± Wang Hao felt that he still had some potential. Since he could last for so long while his body was this weak and skinny, he would become even more formidable if he worked out. So he decided as well as taking supplements, he was going to work out also. Wang Hao opened his backpack and pulled out some sausages and biscuits, ripped them open, and started eating. ¡°What are you doing?¡± While he was eating, Li Mengyao woke up. ¡°I¡¯m eating. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re hungrier than I am, right?¡± Wang Hao passed Li Mengyao some biscuits, chocolates, and Rice Krispies. Li Mengyao was starving again after their three rounds of sex, and she really didn¡¯t care about her image anymore. She just gobbled down the food in huge mouthfuls after ripping the packaging apart. She didn¡¯t look very elegant when she ate, but Wang Hao enjoyed watching her eat anyway. ¡°I finally understand what the phrase about how watching beautiful things is as good as a meal. It¡¯s feels amazing to just watch a pretty girl eat.¡± After finishing a bottle of a meal-replacement drink, Wang Hao said, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± asked Li Mengyao anxiously. She was afraid that Wang Hao would abandon her after he had had his way with her. ¡°I don¡¯t have much food left, so I need to go out and get some more,¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. ¡°What? You want to go out? But there are so many zombies out there. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± Li Mengyao started to get worried. ¡°I don¡¯t have a choice. We¡¯ll eventually finish all the food I have here. If I don¡¯t take the risk and get more food, both of us will die here,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°All right now, enough. Since you¡¯ve become my woman, I¡¯ll continue to take care of you,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°When do you intend to go out?¡± asked Li Mengyao. ¡°In a while, I guess. For now, let¡¯s go again¡­¡± said Wang Hao as he grabbed the blanket. ¡°Are you nuts? Again?¡± Li Mengyao had already gone through three rounds with him and had just woken up still exhausted, but he wanted to go again? She was getting a little scared now. ¡°Heh, heh¡­don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯ll be very gentle this time.¡± With that, Wang Hao pulled the blanket aside and pounced on her. ¡­ Half an hour later, Wang Hao took his backpack and walked out of the dormitory. There were a lot of zombies milling about the corridors of the dormitory, but Wang Hao didn¡¯t kill them off. Wang Hao felt that since these zombies didn¡¯t bite him and could serve as a layer of security for the dormitory, it would be a waste to kill them. When he reached the first floor, he saw that it was getting dark, and there were more and more zombies appearing. Wang Hao made a run toward the school gates. Wang Hao found a taser inside the security room next to the gates and took it with him. This thing wasn¡¯t enough to electrocute a zombie, but it was made from metal after all, so it could be used for bashing zombie brains. Once Wang Hao stepped out of the school, he transformed into a zombie and started to kill zombies with the taser as he walked around. When he reached one of the utility poles by the road, Wang Hao stopped. He noticed that an electric scooter was lying next to the utility pole with a headless corpse right next to it. ¡°Even though I¡¯ve become much stronger after taking on the form of a zombie, it¡¯s troublesome to carry so many things. With an electric scooter, I can ferry things around.¡± With that in mind, Wang Hao reverted to his human form and picked up the electric scooter. He saw that the keys were still in the scooter¡¯s ignition, so he sat on the seat and turned the engine on. ¡°It still has some charge¡­this should last for a while.¡± Wang Hao rode the scooter through the growing crowd of zombies and soon arrived at a drugstore. He stopped the scooter and went into the drugstore. Wang Hao spotted the Chinese herbs that were good for his virility, like velvet antlers, dried bull penises, and ginseng, and stuffed them into his bag. After that, he found some flu meds, antibiotics, vitamins, and other pills like that. Just when he was about to leave the drugstore, he stopped again. ¡°This stuff should be useful, right? We¡¯re in the Apocalypse now, so if a woman got pregnant, it could become very troublesome.¡± Wang Hao hesitated for a while, then reached out to grab a few boxes of condoms that were displayed at the counter¡­ He walked out of the drugstore and threw his backpack onto the scooter before setting off again. He also wanted to see if he could find a place that sold knives, because both his wooden bat and taser were just too slow for killing zombies. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Hao drove around the area on his scooter for a while before stopping at a shop where he hoped to buy knives. The blinds of the shopfront had been pulled down, and there were bloodstains on them. Wang Hao reached out and drew up the blinds and entered the shop to see that the items had been strewn all over the place. It looked as if a big fight had taken place here when the Apocalypse hit. But Wang Hao was very lucky. It didn¡¯t take him long to find a machete that was suitable for chopping firewood. ¡°This machete isn¡¯t too bad, and it¡¯s sharp enough. It¡¯ll be great for hacking zombies.¡± Wang Hao looked at the machete and was fairly satisfied with it. The wooden handle felt good in his hands, and it had a long blade with a slight hook at the end, resembling an eagle¡¯s beak. That seemed like a good way to slash a zombie¡¯s head open like a watermelon. Grrrh¡­Graahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Since the blinds of the entrance had been pulled up, some zombies had begun to approach the shop. ¡°How strange. I thought these zombies weren¡¯t interested in me anymore. Why do they look like they¡¯ve discovered food?¡± Wang Hao was puzzled by this, and he decided to be careful. He immediately transformed himself into a zombie and walked out toward them. He had a new machete, so he could test it out on these zombies. HOO! Wang Hao lifted the machete and swung it down on the zombie right at the front of the crowd. BAM! The zombie¡¯s head burst from the impact of the machete, and there were zombie blood and brain juice all over the place. But what surprised Wang Hao was that a blood-red-colored ball appeared above the zombie¡¯s body, and it slowly rotated as it hovered in the air. DING! ¡°Congratulations on obtaining one Zombie Bomb.¡± A mechanical voice suddenly rang out inside his head. Wang Hao looked at the bright-red Zombie Bomb and was rather surprised. So this was the Zombie Bomb. ¡°I wonder how to use this thing.¡± Wang Hao was curious, but he didn¡¯t pick up the Zombie Bomb. Instead, he lifted his machete again and started to hack the zombies behind the one he¡¯d just killed. BAM! BAM! In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten zombies on the floor. After he had finished going through these zombies, he was awarded another Zombie Bomb. ¡°I¡¯ve just gotten two Zombie Bombs. Looks like the chances of one appearing are pretty high.¡± Wang Hao picked up the Zombie Bombs and started to try them out. After he had inspected them for quite a while, he felt that he figured it out, and he finally flung one of the Zombie Bombs out. BAM! The moment the Zombie Bomb hit the floor, it exploded. Shortly after that, a zombie that looked just like any other zombie on the street appeared. Grrrh¡­.Grrrhh¡­Grraaahh¡­ The zombie growled several times without moving, and then it started to wander about aimlessly. ¡°Is this what the Zombie Bomb does? It seems like all it did was create a zombie¡­ Wait¡­ What¡¯s this?¡± Wang Hao suddenly discovered that there was a new icon in his mind labeled Zombie 1, and there was the option to control. ¡°Control Zombie 1,¡± said Wang Hao to himself. HOO! Suddenly, Wang Hao felt everything go dark, and the image he was seeing changed. He found himself on the street standing among other zombies. ¡°What¡¯s going on? How did I appear here? No, wait¡­ This is the perspective of the zombie that I created.¡± Wang Hao looked down at his two feet and his completely different two arms and was suddenly enlightened. So that was the effect of controlling a zombie made from a Zombie Bomb. ¡°Not bad. This Zombie Bomb is amazing! This is insane!¡± Wang Hao became especially excited. With this ability, he could use a Zombie Bomb to protect himself from anything that might put his life in danger. It was like gaining a few additional lives. ¡°Stop the control,¡± said Wang Hao to himself again. The scene before him changed again, and he found himself back at the shop. ¡°This is incredible. It¡¯s amazing! Wait, I¡¯ve got to test this thing properly.¡± Wang Hao pulled the shop blinds down again, hid himself, and shouted, ¡°Control Zombie 1!¡± Grrh¡­Grraaahh¡­ The scene in front of him changed, and he was back on the streets outside. ¡°Let me see how far this thing can walk.¡± Wang Hao controlled Zombie 1 and started walking in the opposite direction from the shop, going farther and farther. About 30-odd steps later, he realized that Zombie 1 wasn¡¯t listening to him anymore and had started to wander about aimlessly again. ¡°Looks like that¡¯s the farthest this zombie can go under my control.¡± After Wang Hao had achieved an understanding of how far the zombie could go from his own body, he controlled the zombie to walk back the same way it had come. As the zombie was walking back again, control of the zombie became easier and easier, and it eventually felt like his own body again. ¡°AHH!¡± Just then, he suddenly heard the bloodcurdling scream of a woman coming from above him. BAM! Wang Hao then saw a woman with black hair sprawled on the ground. She¡¯d hit her head and had started bleeding profusely, so she probably wasn¡¯t going to survive. This woman had no clothes on, and there were several obvious wounds on her back. She must have gone through some sort of torture. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did someone push her down?¡± Wang Hao looked up to see that there was a gym near her body, and its third-story window was still open. A fierce-looking man was leaning out the window. He spat a mouthful of saliva out and closed the window. ¡°This woman had probably been violated by that fellow and then pushed out from that window. It¡¯s only been a few days since the Apocalypse hit, and people have already started killing other people.¡± Wang Hao was filled with horror. He didn¡¯t want anybody that dangerous to be living in his vicinity. Since he was now controlling Zombie 1, he quickly got the zombie to start heading toward the gym. The main glass door of the gym had already been broken, so he could get in without pushing it open. But the staircase leading to the second story had been blocked by a wall made up of several boxes of protein powder. This wall of boxes would have been enough to block an ordinary zombie, but Wang Hao easily hopped over the wall. This gym was quite large, and it had pretty much every piece of equipment a gym should have. Wang Hao started wondering if he should come here to work out once he was done with this matter at hand. After all, if he wasn¡¯t in zombie form, his original body was still rather weak and skinny. There were so many pretty ladies left in the Apocalypse. If he didn¡¯t have a strong and fit body, he might not be able to fully enjoy himself. In no time, Wang Hao arrived at the third story. He could hear voices coming from inside as he came up the stairs. Since zombies had an exceptionally good sense of hearing, he could hear everything that was said very clearly. A man was now shouting as if he was reprimanding someone, ¡°Did you see that? I could rescue you, and I can kill you too. If you dare go against me, I can push you out of the window any time I want to.¡± ¡°Cheng¡­I promise to listen to you. Please, please don¡¯t kill me. I will listen to you,¡± pleaded a woman. ¡°You¡¯re really good at talking, huh? Then let¡¯s have a go and see how you perform,¡± said the man with a laugh. His tone of voice was clearly lecherous. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio BAM! Wang Hao didn¡¯t bother continuing to listen to this conversation and just rammed straight into the door that was shut tightly. KACHAAA! The sound of a metal chain-breaking resounded, and the door in front of Wang Hao crashed open. Errrr¡­ Wang Hao saw a strange scene in front of him and froze for a minute. He saw a muscular man lying on the sit-ups bench, while a woman with long black hair was kneeling in front of him. The man¡¯s eyes had been closed, but when he heard the commotion at the door, he immediately opened his eyes and looked toward the door. In that instant, the man¡¯s eyes met Wang Hao¡¯s, and the man¡¯s face was immediately drained of color, and his lips even started to tremble. ¡°A zom¡­zombie is here.¡± ¡°Ahh¡­zombie¡­¡± The woman¡¯s head was bowed, but when she heard what the man had said, she shuddered violently and looked up with a start to see the zombie standing at the door. ¡°AHHH!¡± And so the shrill shriek of the woman broke the silence. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ Wang Hao snapped out of his daze and immediately started growling as he pounced toward the man who was lying on the gym equipment. ¡°AHH!¡± The woman screamed in fright and turned to run away. But the man reacted very quickly. He used one hand to pull his pants up and the other to grab the woman¡¯s hair and fling her toward Wang Hao. ¡°AHH!¡± The woman screamed as she found herself staggering toward Wang Hao. The man had originally meant to use this woman as bait to buy some time so that he could escape, but Wang Hao did not behave as this man had predicted. Wang Hao dodged the oncoming woman and continued to move toward the man instead. ¡°What the f*ck?¡± The man immediately broke into a cold sweat when he saw this, and he became panicky. He wanted to run, but he¡¯d accidentally let go of his pants, which caused him to trip over himself and fall onto the floor. ¡°No¡­don¡¯t eat me¡­ No!¡± When faced with a zombie, very few could remain calm and rational, and most would end up peeing in their pants. The man was so frightened that he was on all fours and kept moving back. After the woman crashed onto the floor, her body kept trembling nonstop, and she couldn¡¯t stand up anymore. ¡°Come¡­look over here. This way¡­¡± Just then, another man started shouting from the sidelines, and it seemed to be an attempt at distracting Wang Hao away from the first man. Wang Hao looked over and saw an equally muscular man holding an iron bat and running very swiftly toward Wang Hao. If Wang Hao had decided to bite the man on the floor, he would definitely have gotten his head smashed in by the iron bat in the second man¡¯s hands. So Wang Hao decided to give up on attacking the man on the floor for the moment and turned to pounce toward the second man with the iron bat in his hand. ¡°You can go to h*ll!¡± The second man held onto his iron bat and swung it straight for Wang Hao¡¯s head. HOO! But to his complete surprise, Wang Hao suddenly dodged and continued to leap toward him. This man had never expected a zombie to know how to dodge an attack, so Wang Hao ended up grabbing his waist and bringing him down to the floor. ¡°AHHH!¡± There was a terrible howl as Wang Hao bit right through that man¡¯s throat and got back up. The strength of a zombie was seriously too great, and his mouth was able to bite through bone just like a ferocious wild animal. If humans didn¡¯t have any weapons and tried to fight a zombie with their bare fists, it would be almost impossible to defeat a zombie. ¡°What¡¯s going on? When were zombies this formidable?¡± The man on the floor had hoped that his friend would be able to kill Wang Hao, but now he was completely stunned and confused. He had killed many zombies himself before this, but he had never come across such an unusual zombie as Wang Hao. To his even greater surprise, after this zombie had bitten his friend to death, the zombie had actually stood up again and started coming over toward him once more. Grrrh¡­Grrhhh¡­Graaaah¡­ There was still blood dripping from the zombie¡¯s mouth, and as the man watched this terrifying monster come closer and closer to him, he relied on his strong survival instinct to force himself to calm down and pick up a wrench from the floor. He knew that he had only one chance at possibly surviving this attack. Once the zombie came leaping toward him, he was going to use the wrench in his hand to smash the zombie¡¯s head to smithereens. But when Wang Hao noticed what the man was trying to do, he started to laugh coldly to himself. Even if an ordinary person had a wrench or a metal bat in their hand, they would still be in great danger when faced with an ordinary zombie. But now, Wang Hao was a zombie with intelligence. ¡°Come over. Come here¡­be good and lean your head forward.¡± The man¡¯s voice was trembling slightly while he clutched the wrench in his hands really tightly. He was waiting for the moment when the zombie came pouncing for him to burst this zombie¡¯s head open. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ Wang Hao continued to slowly come closer to the man and finally stood in front of him. The man was all prepared now. The moment this zombie lowered its head to come for him, he was going to swing his weapon toward its head. He was very certain that he was definitely going to be able to burst this zombie¡¯s head with the wrench he had. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ But to the man¡¯s surprise, the zombie in front of him had decided against pouncing at him and lifted a leg to kick him instead. ¡°What the hell¡­ I¡¯m just gonna go for it.¡± The man had no time to think about how to handle this situation at all. He clutched the wrench in his hand tightly and swung it toward the zombie¡¯s leg. CRAAACK! There was a crisp sound as the zombie¡¯s leg was instantly broken. However¡­ Even though the zombie¡¯s leg had been broken, the zombie¡¯s attack did not stop. ¡°AHH!¡± The man gave a bloodcurdling scream as his throat was also bitten through by the zombie. ¡°He died just like that?¡± Wang Hao looked at the dead bodies of the two large men on the floor, and he was thoroughly shocked. He didn¡¯t expect to find that controlling a zombie to kill humans would be something that was so simple and violent and didn¡¯t strike fear in himself at all. If he was doing this in human form and he had to kill two men like that, he would definitely have found it difficult to murder them like this. But as a zombie, things were different. He just had to change his attacking tactics, and biting these two men was something that a zombie did very naturally. ¡°No¡­don¡¯t¡­¡± Wang Hao now looked up and glanced toward the woman on the floor. There was a large puddle below her legs, so it was obvious that she had been so frightened that she had peed on herself. The woman looked very pitiful, but Wang Hao had no way of helping her. He was now a zombie, so if he went close to her, he would only terrify her further. So in order not to make her feel too afraid, Wang Hao used his mouth to bite the man¡¯s arm and dragged him toward the inside of the gym. But, after just taking two steps, everything went dark in front of him. When he came to himself again, he was back inside the shop where he¡¯d found the machete. Wang Hao had no idea what would happen to the woman after that episode, but he couldn¡¯t think too much about it either. In this Apocalyptic world, there were just way too many people who needed help. He was no saint, and there was no way he could help everyone. Even though the woman earlier had actually been fairly pretty, he didn¡¯t want too much trouble on his hands. After all, if he decided to save her, then he would have to think of a way to house her safely, protect her, and provide food for her. None of this was easy. He had just gotten a school belle like Li Mengyao anyway, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to look for another woman. But Wang Hao had plans to visit the gym when he had time. After all, the protein shakes and gym equipment were very attractive to him. DONG DONG¡­ Just when he was thinking about all these things, Wang Hao suddenly heard a slight noise from the floor above him. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°There¡¯s someone upstairs? Is it a human or a zombie?¡± Wang Hao looked at the wooden ceiling above his head. He knew that most shops didn¡¯t have a space to sleep in, so clever shop owners would often use wooden boards to partition the shop and create a room at the top. But after hearing that Dong Dong above his head, there was no other noise. However, now that Wang Hao had become a zombie, his sense of hearing was very different from before. He listened very carefully, and he could hear the very quiet sound of breathing. ¡°So there¡¯s a human hiding upstairs?¡± Wang Hao was curious, so he found a flashlight in the shop and started to go up the wooden ladder. There was a heavy curtain at the end of the wooden ladder, and Wang Hao reverted to his human form at this point. HOO¡­ Wang Hao pushed back the heavy curtain and shone his flashlight into the room behind the curtain, where he saw a young girl wearing an oversized shirt hiding in a corner of the room. Right now, this young girl was staring at him with jet-black eyes, and she was holding a hammer in her hand. Wang Hao was sure that if he went any closer to her, the young girl was going to whack his head with that hammer. The young girl probably hadn¡¯t seen sunlight in a long time, so her face was very pale. It had been a long time since she¡¯d combed her hair as well, so it was also quite messy. But despite all that, Wang Hao could tell that this young girl was very pretty. She had jet-black hair, a sharp nose, and a face that looked like a porcelain doll. Her features could be described as exquisite, and she was definitely going to grow up to become a great beauty. ¡°What a beautiful Lolita!¡± Wang Hao said that to himself, then he asked the young girl, ¡°Are you the daughter of the boss of this shop?¡± ¡°Uh, huh.¡± The young girl stared intently at Wang Hao and nodded slightly. ¡°Then where are your mum and dad?¡± asked Wang Hao. The young girl didn¡¯t say anything and just looked warily at Wang Hao. After a moment of hesitation, she stretched her arm out and pointed outside of the door. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten in a long time, have you?¡± asked Wang Hao. The young girl shook her head, then reached out to poke at a plastic bag that was next to her, as she said, ¡°I still have some dried rations here.¡± Wang Hao knew that dried rations usually referred to dehydrated wheat products, which, as long as it was stored in a dry place, could last for at least two weeks or more. But Wang Hao felt bad knowing that a 12- or 13-year-old girl had been only eating this sort of food every single day. ¡°You¡¯re now at an age where your body needs to grow and develop, so how can you just eat just this?¡± Wang Hao took a couple of sausages from his bag and held them out to the young girl. ¡°I can¡¯t take these from you. Daddy and Mummy said that I shouldn¡¯t take things from strangers,¡± said the young girl as she shook her head. ¡°But your Daddy and Mummy have been gone for so many days already. If they come back and find that you¡¯ve starved to death, they¡¯ll be very heartbroken,¡± said Wang Hao. The young girl thought about this for a while before finally reaching out to take the sausages from Wang Hao. After that, she tore the packaging apart and started gobbling the food down. In no time, the young girl had finished both sausages and was still smacking her lips because she wanted more. The Apocalypse had hit for so many days already. After eating these completely tasteless wheat crackers for so many days in a row, she was probably so sick of the taste by now. Now that she had the chance to eat some sausages, it was like getting the chance to eat some sort of delicacy. ¡°All right now, you wait here for me, and I¡¯ll go get you some more food.¡± With that, Wang Hao drew the heavy curtain again and left the shop. He found another shop that sold food and stuffed all the biscuits, sausages, chocolates, pickled vegetables, bread, and drinks into his backpack. When he returned, Wang Hao took out some of the sausages, chocolates, bread, and drinks and passed them to the young girl. ¡°I¡¯ll leave all these with you, and I¡¯ll come by to visit you whenever I have time.¡± After saying that, Wang Hao drew the heavy curtain again and left the shop. The young girl watched Wang Hao leave and scratched her head a little puzzledly as she mumbled to herself, ¡°This big brother is pretty nice. He actually gave me so much food. He seems like a good person.¡± ¡­ After Wang Hao left the shop, he hopped onto his electric scooter and headed back to the school. He parked below the female dormitory, slung his backpack and his bag with all his food on his back, and went back upstairs. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ When he reached the third floor, Wang Hao saw that there were two female zombies banging against Li Mengyao¡¯s dormitory room door. ¡°I¡¯d better kill them. Otherwise, they could easily dash into the room when she opens the door.¡± Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before picking up his machete and finishing off the two zombies. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao exhaled deeply. His body was still too skinny and weak. He had carried so many things up three flights of stairs and then had to kill two zombies, so that took quite a lot of energy out of him. After that, Wang Hao knocked on the room door and called out, ¡°Wifey, I¡¯m back!¡± Li Mengyao was curled up on the bed with a blanket over her head because the sound of the zombies outside banging against her door had been simply terrifying. Once she heard Wang Hao¡¯s voice, she didn¡¯t even bother putting on her shoes and jumped right out of bed. ¡°Hurry up and come in!¡± Li Mengyao opened the door and dragged Wang Hao in before slamming the door shut again. Her eyes were wide as she asked, ¡°There are so many zombies outside, didn¡¯t you run into any danger?¡± Wang Hao saw how anxious Li Mengyao was and laughed as he said, ¡°If I ran into any danger, I wouldn¡¯t be back here now. Were you frightened by the zombies outside just now?¡± ¡°Uh, huh. Not too long after you left, they somehow managed to find my room and started banging on the door. I nearly died from fright,¡± whimpered Li Mengyao unhappily. ¡°Those zombies have a really good sense of smell. The next time I go out, I¡¯d better shut the main gates of the dormitory. That way, you won¡¯t have any zombies coming in anymore.¡± After saying that, Wang Hao placed the backpack on the floor and started walking toward the bathroom. When he¡¯d reached the door of the bathroom, he turned back to look at Li Mengyao. He said, ¡°I went out for so long, and now I¡¯m covered in sweat, so I need to take a bath. Why don¡¯t you come in and help scrub my back?¡± ¡°What? Is that really okay?¡± Li Mengyao¡¯s cheeks turned red when she¡¯d heard what he said. ¡°You¡¯re my woman now, which also makes you my wife. What¡¯s wrong with helping me to scrub my back?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Okay then.¡± Li Mengyao reluctantly nodded. ¡°Good. Change into something else. It would be best if you could wear a pair of black lacy stockings. I like those.¡± After Wang Hao said that, he took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom. ¡°Why is this fellow so dirty-minded?¡± Li Mengyao made a face. She felt a little embarrassed having to wear something like that, but to make Wang Hao happy, she still managed to dig out a pair of black stockings and wore them. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me¡­don¡¯t tell me you want to do it again?¡± Li Mengyao was rather speechless. ¡°Wifey, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s the last time today,¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. She didn¡¯t understand Wang Hao at all and had no idea why he liked having sex so much. They had already done it three times today, and he wanted to have sex again. She really didn¡¯t understand what was so good about doing this. But when she saw how Wang Hao¡¯s eyes kept looking at her body greedily and couldn¡¯t stop touching her legs, she felt inexplicable happiness in her heart. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next day, Wang Hao was awoken by the sound of chaos downstairs. He got up and walked to the balcony to see that a boy had been surrounded by zombies on the first floor. This boy was no stranger to Wang Hao. This was Ma Bing, the boy who was with Li Dong and Xu Chao in the male dormitory. But Wang Hao had no idea why he had come out so early that morning. And now, he was completely surrounded by zombies, and there was no way he could escape from this. But Ma Bing held a wooden bat in his hands and was trying his best to kill his way out of it. He shouted as he used the bat to smash each zombie¡¯s head, one after another. Wang Hao was surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected Ma Bing to be this strong. This guy had actually managed to knock down more than ten zombies all by himself. But he was all by himself after all. As more and more zombies came for him, he started to lose steam. ¡°AHH!¡± Finally, there was a bloodcurdling scream as a zombie pounced on him from behind. The zombie bit him on the neck and blood spurted everywhere. As a result, even more zombies pounced on him, and he was soon completely covered by all the zombies. But Wang Hao started frowning, because he¡¯d realized that Ma Bing¡¯s last expression had been filled with great hatred, and he¡¯d been staring straight toward the third story of the male dormitory. Wang Hao followed his gaze and noticed a figure moving behind one of the third-story windows. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± Wang Hao realized that the person standing behind the window was actually Li Dong. Li Dong looked down at Ma Bing, who had died so tragically, and made a face. He spat as he said in a low voice, ¡°What a useless piece of trash. You¡¯re just a piece of trash meant to be zombie food. I told you to go out and find food, not take yourself out there to die. So bloody useless.¡± They had nearly finished every scrap of food that they could find within the male dormitory, so Li Dong had sent Ma Bing out to get more food. Ma Bing, however, was very timid and hadn¡¯t wanted to go out. Li Dong had had no choice but to threaten to take Ma Bing¡¯s woman away from him. He told Ma Bing that if he couldn¡¯t come back with more food, Li Dong was going to take his woman for himself. Ma Bing had been left with no choice, so he¡¯d plucked up his courage and stepped out to get more food, but, unfortunately, had been surrounded by zombies instead. ¡°Forget it, you were too useless, so you can¡¯t blame me for being a lousy friend. Your woman is mine from today onward.¡± When Li Dong thought about how Ma Bing¡¯s woman was now his since Ma Bing was dead, he wasn¡¯t so angry anymore. After all, Li Dong had only been a student and had only seen this sort of thing in movies. But now, he had the chance to have sex with two girls at one time, and that was fulfilling one of the dreams he had always had. Just when Li Dong was about to turn away from the window, he felt someone staring at him. He followed his instincts and looked toward the female dormitory across from his window. He immediately spotted Wang Hao standing on one of the third-floor balconies of the female dormitory. ¡°Wang Hao! He¡­he¡¯s still alive. I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s actually still alive. And he¡¯s managed to hide himself in the female dormitory. How did this fellow do it?¡± Li Dong was really deeply shocked by this revelation. He had just watched Ma Bing take only one step out of the dormitory and be turned into mush by the zombies, but Wang Hao wasn¡¯t injured at all and was still hiding inside the female dormitory in one piece. And judging from his complexion, he didn¡¯t look the least bit hungry. ¡°Wang Hao, do you have any food over there?¡± asked Li Dong in a loud voice. ¡°Humph¡­¡± Wang Hao scoffed quietly, then turned to grab a packet of biscuits and two sausages from his table before coming back to the balcony and waving them in Li Dong¡¯s face. Gururu¡­ Li Dong was almost drooling when he saw those sausages in Wang Hao¡¯s hands. He quickly put on a big smile and said, ¡°Wang Hao, could you give me some food? If you give me some food, I can give you Ma Bing¡¯s woman.¡± Li Dong figured that offering a woman to a bum like Wang Hao would be enough to tempt him. But to Li Dong¡¯s dismay, Wang Hao just shook his head. Then he tore open the biscuits and started eating the biscuits in large bites. Li Dong watched as the biscuit crumbs just fell carelessly onto the floor. His eyes turned red just watching this. This was such a waste of food. Food was already in such a short supply, but Wang Hao was wasting it just like that. Li Dong couldn¡¯t help but suspect that the dormitory room Wang Hao was in had a lot of food. ¡°Then again¡­girls love to eat tidbits, so the female dormitory definitely probably has a lot of food. If I could get some of that food, it would probably last me a long time.¡± Once Li Dong started thinking about this, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. He stared at Wang Hao and said loudly, ¡°Wait there for me! I¡¯m coming over to kill you.¡± ¡°Come on over then,¡± replied Wang Hao nonchalantly. After that, he turned and went back into the room. ¡­ ¡°Wang Hao, who were you talking to just now?¡± Li Mengyao had woken up and asked Wang Hao this question as she stretched lazily. ¡°Li Dong,¡± replied Wang Hao. ¡°What? Li Dong? You mean the one from the school¡¯s basketball team?¡± asked Li Mengyao with some surprise. Li Dong was tall and rugged looking, very handsome, and there were many girls with a crush on him. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Wang Hao didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°Oh, so what did he say to you?¡± asked Li Mengyao. ¡°He said he wants our food,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? His side has run out of food already? Then are you going to give him some food?¡± asked Li Mengyao a little worriedly. ¡°If you want to give him some food, you can go ahead. But don¡¯t forget, when you¡¯re surrounded by all those zombies, I won¡¯t go out and save you,¡± snapped Wang Hao coldly. It was better to state some things clearly very early on, otherwise, this woman was going to give him trouble sooner or later. ¡°I¡­¡± Li Mengyao thought about how she had seen so many of the other girls get bitten by zombies when they went out and been eaten alive, and her heart was immediately overwhelmed by terror. ¡°So you don¡¯t intend to help him?¡± asked Li Mengyao after falling silent for a while. ¡°Help him? Why do you think I would help him? Why should I? You clearly have no idea, but I was chased out of the male dormitory by him. I¡¯m not only going to be of no help to him, but I¡¯m also going to think of a way to kill him.¡± With that, Wang Hao ignored Li Mengyao and just opened a bottle of mineral water on the table and started gulping it down. Li Mengyao was very pretty and had a good figure, but if she couldn¡¯t accept the things that he did, then he had to find another woman suitable for himself and abandon this girl. He wasn¡¯t going to find himself a woman who wasn¡¯t only completely useless but could even bring trouble on himself. It didn¡¯t matter that she was the school belle. They were now in Apocalyptic times, so even though many things were in shortage, pretty women weren¡¯t in shortage. Li Mengyao was the school belle, but the world out there was huge. It was probably even possible to find a female celebrity to be his wife. ¡°You can help yourself to the food. I¡¯m going to go out for a while.¡± Wang Hao saw that Li Mengyao remained silent, so he slung his backpack across his back, picked up the machete from the floor, and left the room. After Wang Hao left, Li Mengyao opened a bottle of a meal-replacement drink. She slowly drank it as she walked to the balcony. Li Dong was still standing at his third-story window of the male dormitory right across from the female dormitory. When he saw Li Mengyao appear on the balcony, his gaze suddenly blazed fiercely. ¡°Li Mengyao¡­that¡¯s the school belle, Li Mengyao! That f*cking Wang Hao is actually in the same room as Li Mengyao, so does that mean¡­my goddess! She¡¯s been¡­she¡¯s been¡­f*cking Wang Hao!¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Li Mengyao had been simply too famous in their school. Almost every boy in the school felt that she was one of the top three prettiest girls in the school, and even some of the male teachers looked at her flirtatiously. So, of course, someone who watched porn every single day like Li Dong had had plenty of fantasies about her. Li Dong had considered Li Mengyao, the goddess of his dreams for a long time, and he¡¯d always imagined doing with her what boys loved doing most. But no matter how many dreams he had had about her, they couldn¡¯t possibly compare to the feeling of actually getting her. So when Li Dong saw that Li Mengyao and Wang Hao were staying in the same room, he couldn¡¯t remain calm anymore. He decided that even if he might die in the attempt, he had to get himself to the female dormitory. By hook or by crook, he was going to have Li Mengyao. He wanted to see what she looked like lying below him. And, just then, Li Dong realized that Li Mengyao was looking at him with a sort of anticipation also. What¡¯s going on? Did Wang Hao force himself on her, and she doesn¡¯t like Wang Hao at all? Is she looking forward to me going over there to rescue her? In reality, Li Mengyao was thinking exactly that. Wang Hao was just too ordinary, nowhere near Li Dong in terms of looks. If she could be with Li Dong, then she would feel better even though they were in Apocalyptic times. And even though the two of them looked straight at one another, neither said anything. ¡­ Of course, Wang Hao had no idea what was going on in the room right now. But then again, even if he had known about it, it wouldn¡¯t have mattered. Li Mengyao didn¡¯t fancy him, and he knew that very well, since he realized that he was not good-looking. Even though he had had sex with Li Mengyao, it had happened only because Li Mengyao had run out of food. It didn¡¯t mean that she had fallen for him. But Wang Hao was certain that as long as Li Mengyao realized that she would survive this Apocalypse only by sticking with him, she would definitely follow him wholeheartedly. She probably didn¡¯t think this way yet only because she didn¡¯t know what Wang Hao was actually capable of in this Apocalypse. ¡°Zombie Form!¡± Wang Hao shouted and became a zombie immediately. He quickly ran toward the classroom blocks of the school. Many students had been trapped inside the classrooms as they were having lessons, so it made killing zombies convenient for him. BAM! Wang Hao kicked the classroom door open and dashed in with his machete in hand. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ Orrrhh¡­Uhhhh¡­Orrrrhhh¡­ The zombies didn¡¯t have any reactions whatsoever when they saw Wang Hao and continued to wander about the classroom aimlessly. PFFT! PFFT! Wang Hao held the machete tightly and dashed in swinging it wildly. In just a few minutes, more than 30 zombies had already collapsed on the floor. He looked at the XP bar in his mind and then proceeded to the next classroom with his trusty machete. More than an hour later, Wang Hao finally stopped his massacre. After slashing and destroying more than 400 zombies, the machete finally died too. PAK. Wang Hao flung the broken machete away and opened his bag to have a look. ¡°Not bad. I¡¯ve actually accumulated 21 Zombie Bombs already.¡± Wang Hao had already experienced the power of a Zombie Bomb, so he was in an excellent mood right now. With so many Zombie Bombs on hand, he didn¡¯t have to fear anybody anymore. Besides, with all these Zombie Bombs, he didn¡¯t feel any stress when thinking about dealing with Li Dong. But Wang Hao didn¡¯t intend to kill Li Dong too quickly. That would be letting him off too easily. ¡°I¡¯m going to make sure you die slowly while despairing. That¡¯s going to be my revenge.¡± Wang Hao packed his bag and returned to the female dormitory. ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± The doors of the female dormitory rooms were aligned with the balconies, so when Wang Hao opened the room door, he saw that Li Mengyao was leaning against the banister of the balcony. And on the balcony right across from her stood Li Dong. ¡°Wang Hao¡­you¡­you¡¯re back!¡± Li Mengyao noticed Wang Hao and spun around a little frantically. ¡°What are you doing?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°It¡¯s a little too stuffy inside the room, so I was just enjoying the breeze on the balcony,¡± said Li Mengyao a little uneasily, as she clutched the corner of her nightgown with one hand. ¡°Is that so? Then let¡¯s enjoy the breeze together.¡± A faint smile appeared on Wang Hao¡¯s lips. Was this woman trying to make a cuckold out of him? She had underestimated him. ¡°What are you doing? It¡¯s not very nice if others see something like that,¡± whined Li Mengyao awkwardly. Wang Hao grabbed a box of condoms and dragged her by the arm back to the balcony. Li Dong stood on the balcony across the way, his eyes turning red once again. He could see that Li Mengyao was now leaning against the banister of the balcony, while Wang Hao was moving up and down behind her. Li Dong was on the verge of a mental breakdown. ¡°I really should have killed you back then. If I had, then Li Mengyao would now be mine,¡± roared Li Dong to himself. His entire face was flushed red. BAM! He couldn¡¯t stand another man having his way with his goddess right in front of him anymore, so he forcefully slammed the window shut. ¡°Tsk, he can¡¯t take it anymore?¡± Wang Hao watched how furious Li Dong was, but he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Wang Hao felt an enormous sense of satisfaction. ¡­ Half an hour later, Li Mengyao clutched the banister and collapsed on her knees from exhaustion. ¡°Phew¡­.phew¡­¡± She panted heavily and turned to look at Wang Hao as she asked in an upset voice, ¡°Why did you have to do that? What do you take me for? Am I just your tool to show off?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong now? Are you upset that your idol saw me have my way with you?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°You¡­¡± Li Mengyao didn¡¯t know what to say since he had obviously seen through her thoughts. After falling silent for a while, she spoke up again, ¡°You¡¯ve agitated him, so what good does that do you? He¡¯s way stronger than you are.¡± ¡°And so what? You think he will come and kill me?¡± asked Wang Hao with a laugh. Li Mengyao continued to pant and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°All right now, it¡¯s too bad that you were the school belle and I¡¯m just a bum. I can understand why you don¡¯t fancy me. But I will tell you now that it¡¯s pointless to fancy Li Dong either. We¡¯re in the Apocalypse now, so just being handsome isn¡¯t going to help you survive this era. I hope you¡¯ll realize this reality soon¡­¡± After he¡¯d finished saying that, he threw a roll of toilet paper at Li Mengyao. ¡°He¡¯s not just handsome. If you could find food out there, I¡¯m sure he could too,¡± said Li Mengyao as she tore off some toilet paper and wiped herself. ¡°Oh, really? Since you put it that way, then I¡¯ll go kill him. If he can¡¯t even handle me, then he can forget about protecting you.¡± Wang Hao put his pants back on, picked up his backpack, and left the room again. He¡¯d originally planned to make Li Dong suffer slowly in despair and drive him to death eventually, but now Wang Hao didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. The world out there was huge, so he decided to settle things with Li Dong and his gang soon and increase his zombie system to Level 3, and then go outside to find a more suitable place to live. The dormitory rooms within the school were too small and weren¡¯t suitable for living in. Wang Hao went downstairs, but he was afraid that someone might discover his secret ability, so he immediately transformed into a zombie. He walked to the male dormitory and used his fist to smash one of the glass panes, and then flung a Zombie Bomb through the hole. Grrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrh¡­ The Zombie Bomb instantly exploded to become a new zombie, and it began to wander aimlessly about inside the dormitory. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Control Zombie 1!¡± Wang Hao quietly called out an order as he looked at the zombie that was now roaming around inside the male dormitory. Huuu¡­ In an instant, everything before him went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was already within the male dormitory. ¡°Not bad, this ability is really simply amazing.¡± Wang Hao had already tested what the Zombie Bomb could do once, but he was still floored by this amazing ability. As long as he could use this ability well, most people would end up being at a loss when he attacked them. KA KA KA¡­ Wang Hao controlled the zombie and quietly opened the dormitory door in front of him. There wasn¡¯t anybody in the corridor, and he didn¡¯t hear any movements at all. Wang Hao walked around the first story and didn¡¯t find anybody. He was about to go up to the second floor when he heard a woman moaning from inside the dormitory¡¯s general office next to the main gates of the dormitory. ¡°He¡¯s really making full use of his time. Could it be that idiot, Xu Chao?¡± Wang Hao thought of the disgusting face that Xu Chao had made to him on the day when he¡¯d gotten chased out of the male dormitory and felt very deeply unhappy. In no time, Wang Hao had reached the door of the dormitory¡¯s general office. Just as he¡¯d expected, Wang Hao looked through the glass door and saw that Xu Chao was embracing a girl on a table and heaving away. ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve been living pretty comfortably these last few days, huh? But your good days are going to end here and now!¡± Wang Hao reached out to push the glass door open and strolled right in. Xu Chao had heard some noise behind him, but didn¡¯t intend to stop what he was doing. Over the past few days, he had already gotten used to the feeling of being watched when he was having sex. ¡°Who is it¡­?¡± But the girl with him was a little embarrassed and turned to look behind her. And the first thing she saw turned out to be a terrifying zombie that was covered with a reddish skin. ¡°AHH!¡± The girl was terribly frightened and couldn¡¯t help but shriek. Xu Chao was shocked by the girl¡¯s sudden shriek, and he quickly realized that something terrifying must have appeared behind him, otherwise the girl wouldn¡¯t look like she was scared out of her wits. Xu Chao just rolled to the side. ¡°Ow¡­¡± He fell to the floor but didn¡¯t have time to think about the pain. He quickly turned around. In that instant, he started shuddering as he saw a zombie exactly where he had been standing just moments before. The girl was very unfortunate though. The zombie had landed on her, so the supple skin on her back had been scratched by the zombie¡¯s sharp nails. ¡°AHH!¡± The girl was both shocked and frightened, so she started screaming even more frantically. But this zombie didn¡¯t continue biting the girl. Instead, it turned to attack Xu Chao. ¡°What¡¯s going on with this zombie?¡± Xu Chao was confused by this turn of events, but his first reaction was to grab the leg of the table nearest to him and fling the table toward the head of the oncoming zombie. PAK! But there was only a crisp sound as the zombie grabbed hold of the table. ¡°How¡­how is this possible? Since when have zombies learned how to dodge attacks?¡± Xu Chao was hoping to use the table to smash the zombie¡¯s head in, but he was now suddenly both frightened and stunned. ¡°ORRRHHH!¡± The zombie roared and stuck out its other hand instantly and grabbed hold of Xu Chao¡¯s neck. CRAAACK¡­ There was a cracking sound that resembled the sound of a chicken¡¯s neck being broken. Xu Chao immediately collapsed lifelessly onto the floor. The girl slumped against the desk collapsed on the floor also, and the floor was soon covered with the terrible smell of pee. Wang Hao ignored her and just pulled a set of keys out of Xu Chao¡¯s pants, stood up, and walked right out of the general office. ¡°This zombie isn¡¯t going to eat me?¡± The girl was sprawled on the floor and was too frightened to stand up, but her mind was still very alert. When she saw Wang Hao walk out of the general office, she felt rather relieved inside. But as she watched how the zombie actually used the keys to open the main gates of the dormitory, her eyes grew wide again. She simply couldn¡¯t imagine how a zombie actually knew how to open the main gates of the dormitory. This was completely beyond her understanding of zombies. Grrrhh¡­Grrrrh¡­Graaaah¡­ Orrrhhhh¡­Uggggh¡­.Orrrrrh¡­ It didn¡¯t take long for the other zombies milling around outside the main gates of the dormitory to smell the people inside, and they started swarming into the dormitory. And, of course, the first ones they went for were the two humans inside the dormitory¡¯s general office. ¡°AHHH!¡± By the time another bloodcurdling scream rang out, Wang Hao was already at the staircase landing of the second floor. BAM! Just as he reached the second floor, he heard the sound of a door closing. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s someone on the second floor.¡± Wang Hao followed the sound and soon stopped in front of a door. There was a small piece of glass on the door, so one could see what was happening inside the room. Wang Hao saw that there was someone on the bed who was all wrapped up in a blanket, and it was impossible to see who it was. But Wang Hao could tell that this person was probably a woman. ¡°Could it be that slut, Xu Xin?¡± Wang Hao made a guess before trying to bang the door down. And, even though he was strong, the dormitory room doors were made of metal, so it was difficult to bang them down easily. At this time, Wang Hao remembered that the teacher in charge of the dormitory had spare keys. The teacher in charge of the dormitory had keys to every single room in this building. As long as he got those keys, he could open this door. But Wang Hao was in no hurry to find those keys. Instead, he started to look around the other rooms. He wanted to confirm exactly where everyone else was hiding first before making further plans. After checking the second floor, he found that there was nobody else on this floor. Wang Hao then headed for the third floor. Once he¡¯d reached the third floor, Wang Hao soon discovered the room that Li Dong was in. Inside that room was Li Dong, as well as another girl. That was the girl who used to belong to Ma Bing. ¡°Since he¡¯s already slept with two girls, then he hasn¡¯t lived for nothing. But your good days are going to come to an end today.¡± Wang Hao was thinking these things to himself, as he purposely banged a few times on the door like a normal zombie would. ¡°Hooo¡­hooo¡­¡± Li Dong noticed the terrifying zombie outside his door, and his breathing immediately quickened. He simply couldn¡¯t imagine how a zombie could have gotten into the male dormitory. After all, the main gates had been properly locked, so unless someone had opened the main gates, there was no way a zombie could possibly barge into the dormitory. But he would never have thought that such things were child¡¯s play to Wang Hao in zombie form. ¡°What are we going to do? Zombies have made it inside here? What are we going to do?¡± Lv Chunying looked at the zombie outside the door and immediately felt fearful and uneasy, so she could only place her hopes in Li Dong. But Li Dong didn¡¯t know what to do either. If he¡¯d known how to handle all these zombies, he wouldn¡¯t have hidden himself in the male dormitory all this time without daring to go out. ¡°We¡¯re doomed¡­we¡¯re doomed!¡± Li Dong¡¯s heart immediately despaired, because he knew that once the zombies made it into the dormitory, he could only continue hiding within this room and hope to survive. Even though most of the food he had scoured was all hidden within this particular room, the food probably wouldn¡¯t last more than two days. Without food, he was going to starve to death sooner or later. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Grrrhh¡­Grrrrh¡­Graaaah¡­ Orrrhhhh¡­Uggggh¡­.Orrrrrh¡­ The zombies soon took over the entire male dormitory, but Wang Hao wasn¡¯t in a hurry anymore. If he just rushed in and killed Li Dong like this, then Li Dong would die too easily. So Wang Hao changed his mind again. He decided not to kill Li Dong for the time being. He was going to let him hide inside the room and slowly descend into despair. There were zombies both inside and outside the dormitory anyway. At least 100 of them must have come in after he opened the gates. The number of zombies would only increase over time, so he wasn¡¯t worried about Li Dong finding a way to escape. And so, Wang Hao decided to go back downstairs to look for the dormitory teacher¡¯s office. It didn¡¯t take him too much time to find all the keys to the first, second, and third floors. The keys were separated by floor, and the keys of the same floor were on the same keychain. The first-floor keys were pretty much useless to Wang Hao, so he only took the keys to the second and third floors. He went up to the second floor and found the room that Xu Xin was in. Wang Hao picked out the correct key and was about to unlock the door. But then he started to hesitate again. ¡°If I go in just like that, would Xu Xin be so scared that she¡¯d commit suicide? If she does that, then there¡¯s no way I can torture her. This stupid b*tch looked down on me in the past, so I¡¯m not going to let her die too easily.¡± Once Wang Hao thought about in it this way, he changed his plans and threw the key onto the floor and stopped controlling this zombie. The Zombie Bomb only allowed him to control a zombie for ten minutes at a time anyway, so there wasn¡¯t much else he could do today if he had continued to control it. He was very satisfied with the way things had turned out, and, at least, the entire situation was now within his control. Now, Wang Hao wasn¡¯t in any hurry to go back into the male dormitory. If he went in now, he¡¯d either have to confront Xu Xin in his zombie form or his human form. But if he used his human form, he might be in danger. So to play it safe, Wang Hao decided to let Xu Xin go hungry for two days first. Then, when she was almost unable to endure the hunger any longer, he would take some food to her and force her to sacrifice her pride for the sake of food. When that time came, he could torture her in any way he wanted, and, once he was tired of her, he could get rid of her. ¡­ ¡°Now that I have some time, I should go out there and find a weapon and also see if there¡¯s a suitable place to live in.¡± Wang Hao reverted to human form, hopped onto his electric scooter, and left the school. He found a supermarket and stuffed sausages, biscuits, soy milk, instant porridge, and other meal-replacement options into his backpack. After that, he went back to the shop he had visited the last time. After Wang Hao walked into the shop, he pulled the blinds down and turned on his flashlight. In no time, Wang Hao had found another two machetes like the one he¡¯d had before, and he also took three vegetable knives. These things were great for hacking zombies and were a lot faster than using his fists. Dong dong¡­dong dong¡­ There was a sound above his head. Wang Hao shone his flashlight toward the top of the stairs and saw the same young girl with a hammer in her hand. She was staring straight at him with her round black eyes. ¡°I suppose you¡¯ve already finished all the food I gave you yesterday, right?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Uh, huh,¡± the young girl nodded. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ve brought you some more food today.¡± Wang Hao went up the stairs, opened his backpack, and poured out its contents in front of the young girl. The young girl bowed her head and suddenly became very quiet. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Wang Hao was curious and asked her a little puzzledly. ¡°I just don¡¯t quite get it. Why are you being so nice to me?¡± The young girl suddenly lifted her head. ¡°Do you really want to know why?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Yes, I do.¡± The young girl looked directly into Wang Hao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth then.¡± Wang Hao got straight to the point and said, ¡°I suspect your daddy and mummy have already been bitten to death by those monsters out there, otherwise there¡¯s no way they would have abandoned you here all by yourself. I don¡¯t want to just see you starve to death, so I decided to bring you some food.¡± The young girl fell silent again after listening to what he said. After some time, she spoke up again, ¡°So you think that way too. Looks like Daddy and Mummy are really gone after all. That¡¯s¡­that makes me feel so sad¡­¡± The young girl started to sob. ¡°Er¡­¡± Wang Hao saw that the young girl was very upset, but she didn¡¯t shed a tear, and he felt that it was rather strange. ¡°Are you crying?¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t help but ask. The young girl used a hand to rub her eyes even though she hadn¡¯t shed a single tear and nodded. She told him, ¡°I¡¯ve never known how to cry ever since I was a child, but I¡¯m feeling really awful inside right now¡­¡± She continued to make sobbing noises. ¡°So you don¡¯t know how to cry¡­¡± Wang Hao became even more curious. How could someone not know how to cry? Could there be a problem with her eyes? What a pitiful little girl. ¡°I¡¯m so upset, but I simply can¡¯t cry it out at all.¡± The young girl kept her head bowed and continued to use her small fair hands to rub her eyes. ¡°All right now, don¡¯t be sad anymore. Regardless of whether your daddy and mummy are around or not, your big brother here will take care of you from now on, okay?¡± Wang Hao reached out to gently pat the young girl¡¯s smooth hair and quietly comforted her. Even though he was really no saint, he couldn¡¯t bear to just abandon a young girl like this. ¡°You¡¯re such a good person. I¡¯m sure good people will reap good rewards,¡± said the young girl. ¡°I guess¡­¡± Wang Hao didn¡¯t think he was a good person, but he didn¡¯t refute what the young girl said either. ¡°All right now, I still have to attend to other things, I¡¯ll come back and visit you another day soon.¡± Wang Hao got up, ready to leave the shop. But just as he was about to walk out of the shop, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He spun around suddenly and looked at the young girl. He asked her, ¡°It¡¯s the second time I¡¯ve seen you, but I still don¡¯t know what your name is.¡± ¡°My name is Xia Lingling. What about yours?¡± asked Xia Lingling. ¡°My name is Wang Hao.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Lingling nodded. Then she asked, ¡°When you come here, you¡¯re always looking for a knife. I happen to have a knife here, but I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯re interested in it?¡± ¡°What sort of knife?¡± Wang Hao didn¡¯t think this shop would have anything fancy, but his interest was piqued, and he wanted to know what sort of knife Xia Lingling would appear with. ¡°Wait here for me.¡± Xia Lingling ran back into her room and searched for a while before finally returning with a long item in her hand. ¡°My daddy hid this away before he left. Why don¡¯t you see if you like it?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Wang Hao looked at this long item in Xia Lingling¡¯s hands, and his expression showed that he was interested in it. That was because he realized that this was a katana replica made from composite steel. Even though it wasn¡¯t really like those swords from ancient times, it was made with modern steel and expert techniques. The blade was strong, so it could slice and hack through even tough surfaces. At the same time, the blade itself didn¡¯t bend under pressure and was quite sturdy. This would have been considered one of the best among ancient weapons. ¡°You¡­don¡¯t like it?¡± asked Xia Lingling. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t like it, but I feel that this knife of yours is too valuable for me to take,¡± replied Wang Hao. ¡°If you like it, you can have it. You¡¯ve been so nice to me, so I¡¯ll just give you this knife. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel really bad inside.¡± Xia Lingling could tell that Wang Hao liked this katana, so she insisted on giving it to him. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°All right then, I¡¯ll accept this knife. Thank you.¡± Wang Hao looked at Xia Lingling¡¯s serious expression and hesitated for a moment more before taking this hefty katana from her. If this had happened before the Apocalypse, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have accepted such a valuable katana. But now that he was living in Apocalyptic times, he decided not to bother with all the formalities and politeness anymore. Wang Hao pulled the katana out from its sheath and was especially pleased when he saw the cold gleam that the blade exuded. After that, he looked at Xia Lingling and asked, ¡°Do you want to leave this place with me?¡± ¡°I do,¡± replied Xia Lingling. ¡°Okay, you wait here a little bit longer. I need to find a proper house. Once I find one, I¡¯ll come back here for you.¡± With that, Wang Hao took the katana and left the shop. As soon as he¡¯d stepped out of the shop, Wang Hao excitedly took the katana out. He couldn¡¯t wait to use it. ¡°This katana looks like it¡¯s really great. I wonder whether it¡¯s good for slashing zombies.¡± There were some zombies wandering around aimlessly near him, so Wang Hao immediately raised the katana and ran toward them. PFFT! The cut was as smooth as if he was cutting through watermelon. Wang Hao sliced off the head of the first zombie easily. BAM. The zombie¡¯s head fell to the ground, where it continued to growl and roar. Grrrhh¡­Grrrrh¡­Graaaah¡­ Wang Hao saw that his XP had increased, so he didn¡¯t continue slashing at that zombie. He turned and started to attack his next target. Since slicing their heads off was sufficient for gaining XP, there was no need for him to smash their brains in. PFFT! PFFT! Wang Hao charged into the middle of a group of zombies and started slashing left and right. Each slash he made caused a zombie¡¯s head to come off its body and roll onto the ground. He looked back at the ground covered with zombies sprawled all over in disarray, and Wang Hao felt that he was simply too incredible now. Grrrhh¡­Grrrrh¡­Graaaah¡­Grrrhhh¡­ These few hundred zombie heads continued to make the zombie-growling noises, so it was actually a very creepy-looking scene to behold. ¡°I wonder how much more XP I need to level up¡­¡± Wang Hao looked away from the carnage on the ground and looked at the information in his mind. He realized that there had been a huge change in the numbers. Name: Wang Hao Form: Zombie Form (Can transform to Human Form) Level: Level 2 (8,640/10,000) Defense: 610 Attack: 660 Speed: 320 (The average human has 100 points per attribute.) Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. Zombie Bomb. A controllable Zombie will appear after use. Effect lasts for ten minutes. Increase in level can increase the duration of the effect. ¡°Not bad, my attributes have hit six times the score that a normal human would have, and I¡¯m only about 1,000-odd XP away from Level 3.¡± Wang Hao was very pleased with the change in his attributes. He clutched the katana in his hands tightly and continued massacring zombies. He was going to get to Level 3 in one fell swoop. Leveling up meant that he would get a new talent, and he really wanted to know what sort of talent he would get once he made it to Level 3. PFFT! After Wang Hao had lopped off the head of one more zombie, he kicked it aside and continued attacking another zombie. And so, the massacre started all over again. And just when Wang Hao had finished hacking through a little more than 30 zombies, he heard some very loud, obnoxious music coming from afar. ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Hao stopped his killing spree and frowned as he looked toward the other end of the street. After the Apocalypse occurred, zombies were wandering all over the place. Any human in their right mind knew that they should not make any loud noises, otherwise, they would end up attracting the attention of the zombies. But now, someone was actually purposely making a lot of noise, so Wang Hao couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised by this. As the sound of what resembled partying music at a club drew closer, Wang Hao took out his katana and hid in a nearby clothing shop. After a short while, a modified Hummer SUV drove onto the street he was on. The Hummer¡¯s body was covered with steel plates, and metal spikes had been welded onto these steel plates. The entire vehicle looked like a giant steel beast. Once the zombies got close to it, they would be stabbed by the many metal spikes and cut badly by them. The spikes were only about four inches long, so even though they were long enough to pierce through zombie heads and bodies, they weren¡¯t so long that a zombie would end up hanging off them. These people were very smart. There were a lot of zombies on the streets, but they were mere ants to this modified Hummer SUV and were crushed and destroyed easily as it drove past. That Hummer soon disappeared into the distance as a huge group of zombies continued to chase after it. Just about ten-odd seconds after that Hummer drove off, two more Hummers that had been modified also came driving up from the same direction as the first one. And while these two Hummers had been fortified with steel plates, these steel plates didn¡¯t have any of those sharp spikes. Pffft. The cars stopped in front of a convenience store and the doors opened. Five people hopped out of the cars. There were three men and two women. One of the men with blond hair said quietly, ¡°Make it fast. The zombies will be here in no time.¡± The rest didn¡¯t say anything and dashed into the convenience store immediately. They didn¡¯t bother picking out what they wanted and just stuffed things into their bags at random. They grabbed biscuits, sausages, pickled vegetables, instant noodles, all sorts of tidbits, as well as a bunch of cigarettes and alcohol, and stuffed everything into their backpacks. In barely three minutes, the entire convenience store had been wiped out. ¡°Hurry up and get in,¡± called the blond-haired man. The rest remained silent and quickly opened the doors to get in. ¡°Ouch!¡± But, at this juncture, one of the women gave a loud cry. ¡°What happened?¡± asked the blond. ¡°My foot¡­¡± The woman collapsed onto the ground in pain, and she discovered that a zombie head had bitten her ankle. It turned out that those zombie heads that Wang Hao had sliced off earlier weren¡¯t dead yet, so one of them had bitten this unlucky woman¡¯s ankle. Blood immediately gushed out from her foot. ¡°Cheng, I¡¯ve been bitten by a zombie¡­help me¡­¡± the woman pleaded as she looked toward the blond man. ¡°How did that happen? D*mn it!¡± The blond man turned and saw all the zombie heads that had been hacked off by someone rolling all over the ground and cursed. After that, he walked over to the woman and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been bitten by a zombie, so you know we can¡¯t save you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Cheng, don¡¯t do this¡­I don¡¯t want to die¡­you must save me¡­¡± The woman reached out in an attempt to grab the blond man¡¯s leg, but he dodged her. ¡°Enough of this nonsense. Since you gave me such a good time last night, I¡¯ll let you die a quick death.¡± Once the blond finished saying that, he looked around to make sure no zombies were around, pulled out a dagger from his belt, and stabbed it right into the woman¡¯s neck. ¡°UHH!¡± The woman looked in disbelief at the blond man as her body turned to the side and fell lifelessly to the ground. It had never occurred to her that the man who¡¯d said sweet nothings to her and promised to protect her just the night before would heartlessly kill her like this. The blond pulled his dagger from her throat, wiped the blade on the woman¡¯s clothes, then put it back into his belt. After that, he hopped back into the car, started the engine, and quickly left the place. ¡°These people are no ordinary people.¡± Wang Hao frowned. If he ran into these people, he might be in trouble. If he ran head-on into them and was knocked into by these modified Hummers, he might not survive even if he was in zombie form. ¡°To avoid running into them, I have to attack them first.¡± Wang Hao started thinking to himself about this. He didn¡¯t want to become a target of these cold-blooded and violent people. If they discovered the pretty Li Mengyao, that would be such a pity. Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just when Wang Hao was about to walk out of the clothing shop, one of those modified steel monsters of a Hummer came driving back toward the direction it had come from originally. This car reached the entrance of the convenience store and stopped when they saw the woman¡¯s body on the ground. Wang Hao thought that the people inside the car would at least get out and take a look at her, but, to his horror, the Hummer only stopped for five seconds before speeding off again. On top of that, the car actually literally drove right over the dead body of the woman. It made all his hair stand on end. ¡°These fellows are really cold-blooded and violent.¡± Wang Hao thought he was already very violent because he had killed other human beings, but, compared to these people, the things he¡¯d done were practically good deeds. ¡°This won¡¯t do¡­these people are too dangerous. I must find a way to get rid of them as soon as possible. If they continue to lurk around here, they¡¯ll definitely be trouble.¡± Wang Hao hopped onto his electric scooter and started riding it in the same direction that the Hummer had driven toward. He felt that those people probably didn¡¯t live too far off and were maybe within the nearby residential estate. If they lived much further away, they could have found food in the supermarkets and convenience stores in their neighborhoods. There would be no need to come all the way here. But even after driving along the same road for a while, Wang Hao couldn¡¯t see any trace of the car at all. The electric scooter was too slow, and it was impossible for it to catch up with a Hummer. But Wang Hao had lived in this city for a long time, so now when he looked at the road in front of him, he came up with two possibilities. One possibility was that these people lived in the small residential estate nearby, but the possibility of that now seemed rather small. The noise of the cars would attract a lot of zombies to the estate, so it would become even more difficult for them to have any peace there. So Wang Hao thought of a second possibility. He felt that these people were possibly headed for the bungalow area that was nearer the mountains in the suburbs. When he thought about that bungalow area, Wang Hao started to get a little excited. There were about ten-odd bungalows in that area, and each one was worth more than $10 million. It was even difficult for a rich person with money but no connections to buy a house there. The people who managed to own a bungalow within that area weren¡¯t just rich. ¡°I¡¯ve got a pretty woman now, so I just need a bungalow. If I could move into a bungalow, that would be amazing.¡± Wang Hao peered at the amount of battery his scooter had left and finally decided to turn back in the end. He wanted to wait until nighttime before coming back to have a look. It was very easy for someone to discover him in the daytime. Once night fell, it would be more difficult for anyone to notice him, and he could also use the lights in the area to find out where those people lived. With that in mind, Wang Hao rode the scooter to a convenience store to grab some food, then quickly headed back to the dormitory. ¡­ Meanwhile, within one of the dormitory rooms on the third floor of the male dormitory¡­ ¡°How did things turn out like that? How did these zombies manage to get in here?¡± Li Dong looked through the piece of glass on his room door and could see the zombies wandering about the corridors. He was really on the verge of a breakdown. He¡¯d originally intended for Ma Bing to find some food, and then they would continue to see if they could find more pretty girls to have fun with. But now, Ma Bing hadn¡¯t found any food and had lost his life instead. And he was stuck inside his own dormitory room because all these zombies had appeared from absolutely nowhere. There was nowhere he could go now. He had to either wait for someone to come and rescue him, or he had to just wait to die. Li Dong had almost lost all hope. If someone was going to rescue him, he would have come long ago and wouldn¡¯t have waited till now. He felt that besides jumping out of the window, his only other option was to eventually starve to death. ¡°No¡­I can¡¯t die now. I have to live on. I¡¯m going to kill that *sshole living across the way and make Li Mengyao mine.¡± Li Dong¡¯s eyes glared at the female dormitory block that was across from his room. He simply couldn¡¯t forget the scene of what Wang Hao had done with Li Mengyao on that balcony. ¡°Li Dong, what do we do now?¡± Ma Bing¡¯s woman looked at Li Dong inside the room and started asking him anxiously. ¡°What else can we do? Besides jumping out of the window, do we still have any other choice?¡± snapped Li Dong. ¡°Jump out of the window? No¡­I don¡¯t want to jump out of the window. Even if I don¡¯t die from the fall, it¡¯ll attract all the zombies in the area to come over to eat me,¡± replied the girl, as she shook her head in horror. ¡°Attract the zombies?¡± When Li Dong heard her say this, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. He started to look very strangely toward the girl in front of him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?¡± asked the girl confusedly. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a way to escape from this place,¡± said Li Dong. ¡°How?¡± asked the girl curiously. ¡°Look at the bedsheets here. We can tear the bedsheets into strips and tie them together into a rope we can use to climb down from the balcony,¡± said Li Dong. ¡°Oh! That¡¯s not a bad idea.¡± The girl was initially excited, but soon started frowning as she said, ¡°But there are some zombies downstairs too.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? Is there any other way out of here besides getting ourselves downstairs like that?¡± asked Li Dong. ¡°You¡¯re right, we don¡¯t have a choice.¡± The girl sighed. ¡°So, why are you still hesitating?¡± After Li Dong said this, he pulled the sheets off the bed and got a knife to start ripping the sheets into strips. The girl didn¡¯t just stand around either and started to help him. Half an hour later, they had made a rope out of the bedsheets that was slightly over 20 yards long. Li Dong tied the bedsheet rope to the banister of the balcony and slowly lowered the other end. ¡°Not bad, it looks strong enough, so I don¡¯t think there¡¯ll be a problem.¡± Li Dong was pleased to see that the rope was long enough to reach the first floor. ¡°Li Dong, you¡¯re amazing! You¡¯re so much better than that Ma Bing,¡± said the girl. ¡°Which area are you referring to?¡± asked Li Dong with a naughty smile. ¡°You¡¯re so irritating. What sort of situation are we in? Why are you still joking about this sort of thing?¡± said the girl as she blushed. ¡°Ha, ha!¡± Li Dong was immediately aroused when he saw how shyly the girl was acting. He grabbed her waist and pushed her onto the bed. Five minutes later, Li Dong put his pants back on properly. He looked at the girl and said, ¡°We don¡¯t have a lot of time, so we¡¯d better move fast. To play it safe, I¡¯ll go down first, and you come down after me.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± The girl quickly put her clothes back on and followed Li Dong to the balcony. Li Dong stuck a dagger into his belt, grabbed hold of the bedsheet, and started sliding down. When he¡¯d reached the second story, he called out to the girl and told her to start sliding down the bedsheet too. The girl felt that it was a little dangerous for two people to be holding onto this bedsheet at the same time, but she trusted Li Dong wholeheartedly so she grabbed the bedsheet and started sliding down. In no time, the two of them were clinging onto the bedsheet about five yards above the ground. Grrrhh¡­Grrrrh¡­Graaaah¡­ Orrrhhhh¡­Uggggh¡­.Orrrrrh¡­ More than ten zombies had smelled them coming and had gathered around on the first floor. They were just waiting for the two humans to come down on the bedsheet. ¡°Li Dong, what do we do now? There are so many zombies downstairs, so there¡¯s no way we can get down,¡± said the girl with some panic in her voice. ¡°What do you mean there¡¯s no way? We just need to jump directly down.¡± Li Dong didn¡¯t seem fearful when he saw the ten-odd growling zombies right below him. He seemed very confident instead. ¡°Li Dong, what do you mean?¡± asked the girl puzzledly. ¡°You¡¯ll get it in a minute.¡± Li Dong¡¯s lips curled into a cruel smile as his right hand pulled the dagger out from his belt and stabbed it into the girl¡¯s ankle above him. ¡°AHH!¡± The girl let out a painful howl, her arms let go of the bedsheet, and she immediately went crashing onto the ground. Orrrhhhh¡­Uggggh¡­.Orrrrrh¡­ All the extremely hungry zombies on the ground started growling excitedly as something caught their attention. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio BAM! The girl fell to the ground and let out a bloodcurdling scream. All the zombies that had already been waiting for a long time immediately pounced on her. Even though the girl¡¯s ankle had been stabbed by Li Dong and was bleeding profusely, she attempted to make a run for it. But the injury on her foot was simply too severe, and she couldn¡¯t even stand up correctly. As a result, the girl had barely managed to crawl two yards forward when the entire horde of zombies started to tear at her. ¡°AHH!! No! Nooooo¡­¡± The girl continued to scream tragically as her voice became weaker and weaker. Li Dong watched the scene, but didn¡¯t feel a single thing. A smug smile appeared on his lips. Since all the zombies had gone after the girl, the coast was clear around him. ¡°It¡¯s my chance!¡± Li Dong jumped down and landed on the ground, then started running toward the female dormitory. ¡°Ohhhh¡­¡± But to his surprise, just as he made it through the main gates of the female dormitory, a zombie immediately appeared from behind the gate. ¡°No¡­¡± Li Dong¡¯s instinct was to use his arm to block the zombie, but he ended up getting bitten on the arm by the zombie instead. SLAAASH¡­ Blood spurted everywhere, and he even lost a chunk of flesh. ¡°F*ck!¡± Li Dong¡¯s heart immediately despaired. He knew that once he had been bitten by a zombie, he was definitely going to die. ¡°Go to h*ll!¡± Li Dong pulled his dagger out and stabbed it straight into the head of the zombie, thereby killing it on the spot. ¡°Sh*t! Why am I so unlucky? I actually ran into this one.¡± Li Dong stared at the lifeless zombie on the ground and didn¡¯t feel happy at all. His footsteps faltered, and he suddenly felt like there was no point in living anymore. ¡°I¡¯m going to become a zombie in no time. I¡¯m doomed!¡± Li Dong¡¯s heart was filled with despair, and he stood in place in a daze. He¡¯d originally planned to kill off Wang Hao and take Li Mengyao for himself. But now he realized that even if he did manage to kill Wang Hao and have Li Mengyao, it would only be for a short while. When he thought about it this way, his heart started to become filled with hatred. ¡°No¡­they get to live happily¡­why do I have to become a zombie? Why? I don¡¯t accept this,¡± Li Dong roared angrily and started clambering up the stairs. He¡¯d decided that even if he was going to become a zombie, he was going to make sure at least one of them died with him. Li Dong knew the layout of the female dormitory, and he managed to reach the third floor in no time. BAM BAM BAM! BAM BAM BAM! Li Dong came to one of the rooms and started banging on the door. The door opened, and the person who¡¯d opened it was Li Mengyao. ¡°You¡­why are you here? Are you taking me away from this place?¡± asked Li Mengyao in surprise. ¡°You can stop dreaming. I¡¯ve been bitten by a zombie already, so where am I going to be able to take you to?¡± As Li Dong said these words, he pulled his dagger out and pointed it at Li Mengyao. ¡°What? You¡¯ve been bitten by a zombie?¡± Li Mengyao was so frightened that she started moving backward. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve been bitten by a zombie, and I¡¯m going to die soon. So before I become a zombie, I¡¯m going to make sure I get your body,¡± said Li Dong. ¡°No¡­no, you can¡¯t¡­you¡¯ve already been bitten by a zombie, so you can¡¯t have sex with me,¡± said Li Mengyao as she continued to retreat farther into her room. ¡°You say I can¡¯t have sex with you. Do you really think I won¡¯t?¡± Of course Li Dong wasn¡¯t going to listen to anything Li Mengyao said. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he was going to become a zombie anytime now, he might consider talking it slow with her. But he had already been bitten by a zombie, and he didn¡¯t have much time left. If they continued talking like this, he wouldn¡¯t be able to have sex with Li Mengyao anymore. Li Dong looked at Li Mengyao¡¯s incomparably beautiful face, and his eyes sparkled like a hungry wolf¡¯s. He was extremely excited now. This was the goddess of his dreams. How many dreams had he had about her, and how much tissue had he wasted on her? And now, he was going to ravish her. Of course he was excited. If he could get her just before dying, perhaps he would die happy. ¡°Li Dong, calm down! Don¡¯t be rash, perhaps there¡¯s still hope for you.¡± Li Mengyao saw how Li Dong¡¯s arm was bleeding profusely, and she was terrified. ¡°I don¡¯t care about being calm. I want some excitement.¡± Li Dong bounded over to her, grabbed her shoulder, and pushed her against the wall. ¡°Li Dong, you weren¡¯t like this before. Calm down! The most important thing now is to quickly stop the bleeding on your arm,¡± said Li Mengyao. ¡°Enough of this nonsense! Be good and stop moving, otherwise I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Li Dong flung the dagger aside and used both hands to press down on Li Mengyao¡¯s arms. ¡°Let go of me¡­let go of me¡­¡± pleaded Li Mengyao. ¡°Humph!¡± Li Dong scoffed coldly and said, ¡°You let that *sshole f*ck you, but you won¡¯t let me f*ck you? Are you looking down on me?¡± When he thought about how this woman of his dreams had actually become Wang Hao¡¯s woman, his heart started to ache. But it was too bad that Wang Hao himself wasn¡¯t here, otherwise he could kill him before dying, and that would make him feel better inside. But even though Wang Hao wasn¡¯t around, being able to f*ck Li Mengyao before dying wasn¡¯t too bad either. After thinking about all this, he bent down and tried to kiss Li Mengyao. ¡°No¡­no¡­¡± Li Mengyao continued to struggle desperately as she turned her head from one side to the other and didn¡¯t let him kiss her. Before this, she did have a small crush on Li Dong, but she had no idea he was such a horrible person. Before dying he was going to force himself on her, and he might even kill her once he was done. Besides, she felt that Li Dong was actually even more despicable than Wang Hao. At least Wang Hao had never forced himself on her. PAK! When Li Dong failed to kiss her, he got so angry that he slapped Li Mengyao across the face and shouted at her, ¡°If you dare to resist me again, I¡¯ll slap your face so badly you¡¯ll become unrecognizable.¡± But Li Mengyao didn¡¯t seem to care and refused to give in. ¡°Oh, my, my, you¡¯ve got quite the temper, huh? But I like that! The more stubborn you are, the more I¡¯m going to make sure you feel it later!¡± Li Dong said this as he grabbed hold of Li Mengyao¡¯s arms and pushed her onto the bed, then pounced on her and start tearing away at her clothes. ¡°You nutcase! Go away! Don¡¯t use your filthy hands to touch me.¡± Li Mengyao continued to struggle with all her might, but soon her sleeves tore, and her fair arms were exposed. Since Li Dong was having so much trouble with Li Mengyao, he gave up trying to remove her clothes first. He turned and started removing his belt. ¡°You little b*tch, just you wait! I¡¯m going to show you how incredible I really am.¡± Li Dong looked at how Li Mengyao¡¯s chest was moving up and down as she panted heavily from the struggle earlier, and he started getting really excited. But Li Mengyao was so hurt and scared she just hugged herself tightly and curled up on the bed. She was helpless against Li Dong¡¯s aggression and started to cry in despair. Even though Li Dong hadn¡¯t managed to do anything to her yet, she knew that she couldn¡¯t do anything to fight him all by herself. Was she going to end up being raped by this man? Li Mengyao¡¯s heart was filled with nothing but despair. ¡­ ¡°Hmm? What happened here?¡± Wang Hao got back to the school and saw a long bedsheet extending from the third story of the male dormitory that reached down to the first floor. There was also a female corpse lying on the ground who had obviously been torn apart by zombies. He immediately started frowning. ¡°That fellow used this woman as bait and escaped by himself.¡± After Wang Hao saw this scene before him, he started to feel uneasy inside and quickly ran toward the female dormitory. Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The instant Wang Hao ran into the female dormitory, he spotted the zombie lying at the entrance. ¡°Cr*p, Li Dong made it into the female dormitory!¡± Wang Hao¡¯s heart sank, and he quickly ran up to the third floor. He arrived at Li Mengyao¡¯s room and found the door open. He saw that Li Mengyao was pinned to the bed sobbing, while Li Dong already had his pants around his ankles and was about to remove his boxers. ¡°F*ck you! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Wang Hao pulled his katana out and slashed Li Dong¡¯s back. ¡°AHH!¡± Li Dong collapsed to the floor in pain, squealing loudly like a pig being slaughtered. ¡°Wang Hao, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Li Mengyao immediately got up and hid behind Wang Hao. ¡°Honey, did he do anything to you?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I¡¯m so glad you came back early, otherwise he would have¡­¡± Li Mengyao couldn¡¯t finish her sentence and started crying again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m back now, and I won¡¯t let anybody hurt you!¡± Wang Hao glared at Li Dong who lay sprawled on the floor, howling. He asked him in a fierce voice, ¡°Li Dong, you had the chance to escape. Why did you come here?¡± ¡°Wang Hao¡­¡± Li Dong clenched his teeth and raised his head to look at Wang Hao despite his terrible pain. He said hatefully, ¡°You¡¯re just a bum, but you actually got your hands on the school belle, Li Mengyao. I would never have believed it. If I had known this would happen, I would have killed you a long time ago! That way, Li Mengyao¡¯s first time might have been mine.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of saying all this rubbish now? Li Mengyao is my woman. If you dare to touch her, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Wang Hao took a step forward, lifted his katana, and swung it down again. ¡°AHH!¡± Li Dong let out a roar and rolled to one side, dodging the attack. Then he actually gritted his teeth and managed to struggle to his feet. ¡°You¡­what the h*ll?¡± Wang Hao¡¯s eyes opened wide. ¡°Heh, heh¡­you didn¡¯t expect this, right? You¡¯re just a weak little chicken, and you didn¡¯t slash me hard enough!¡± With that, Li Dong clenched his fists and walked toward Wang Hao. ¡°Humph¡­you¡¯re a pretty tough one, huh? But that¡¯s all right. I don¡¯t mind slashing you two more times,¡± said Wang Hao in a cold voice. ¡°Oh, please. Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re made of? I¡¯ve practiced martial arts before, so a weak chicken like you don¡¯t stand a chance against me!¡± Li Dong started walking toward Wang Hao again. HUUU! Wang Hao swung the katana at Li Dong again, but Li Dong reacted too quickly. He rolled on the floor and dodged Wang Hao¡¯s attack. HUUU! After that, Li Dong swept a leg horizontally toward Wang Hao and caused Wang Hao to fall to the floor. BAM! When Wang Hao landed on the floor, the katana flew out of his hand. His head hit the floor and started ringing. ¡°Wang Hao, you little weak chicken, you¡¯re such a pleasant surprise. I thought that I might have some regrets. But now I can kill you, then sleep with Li Mengyao, and I¡¯ll die with no regrets! HA, HA!¡± Li Dong looked at Wang Hao on the floor and became especially excited. He felt as if he could already envision Wang Hao¡¯s dead body, as well as what Li Mengyao would look like under him. After imagining these scenes, Li Dong reached out to pick up the fallen katana and slowly raised it. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­don¡¯t kill him¡­¡± Li Mengyao was filled with horror as she begged Li Dong. ¡°Ha, ha¡­I¡¯m about to die, and you¡¯re begging me not to kill him. Are you kidding me?¡± Li Dong laughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m not only going to kill him, but I¡¯m going to put his corpse next to the bed so that he can watch me f*ck you!¡± ¡°You nutcase! What a pervert!¡± screamed Li Mengyao furiously. ¡°Curse me all you want. Once I¡¯ve killed him, I¡¯ll deal with you!¡± Li Dong licked his lips, and a cruel smile emerged on his face. Then he turned to look toward Wang Hao. Just then, Wang Hao suddenly climbed to his feet and rushed toward the door. ¡°O, my¡­ Are you trying to escape? You¡¯re just a weak chicken. Do you think you can outrun me, the champion of the 100-meter dash?¡± Li Dong snorted disdainfully as he held onto the katana and started running after Wang Hao. ¡°AHH!¡± But the moment Li Dong stepped out of the door, he saw a terrifying monster that was at least 6¡¯5 feet tall standing right outside the door. He couldn¡¯t help but cry out in shock. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to kill me? What about now?¡± Wang Hao didn¡¯t wait for Li Dong to speak. He stretched out his right hand and used his sharp claws to grip Li Dong¡¯s neck. CRAAACK¡­ Li Dong¡¯s neck was crushed like a squashed cucumber by the zombie that Wang Hao turned into. THUD. Wang Hao let go, and Li Dong¡¯s body crashed heavily onto the ground. There was a gurgling sound from his mouth as his blood started gushing out from his crushed throat. But Li Dong¡¯s eyes were still wide open. He didn¡¯t understand how Wang Hao had suddenly just disappeared for no reason and such a terrifying monster had appeared instead. But once Wang Hao had reverted to human form, Li Dong¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and horror. GURGLE¡­GURGLE¡­ Li Dong raised a hand and pointed at Wang Hao, but couldn¡¯t get a single word out because his mouth was full of blood. ¡°You never imagined things would turn out like this, right? You think you can kill me? Do you get it now? To me, you¡¯re the real weak chicken. Also, I was the one who let all those zombies into the male dormitory. You have only yourself to blame for chasing me out of the male dormitory back at the beginning of the Apocalypse. This is my revenge!¡± Wang Hao squatted down and looked at Li Dong as he whispered to him. GURGLE¡­GURGLE¡­ A look of regret and despair appeared in Li Dong¡¯s eyes before the light in his eyes slowly faded away. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao picked up the katana and stood up, then he walked back into the room and shut the door behind him. Inside the room, Li Mengyao was staring wide-eyed at Wang Hao. It took her a long time before she finally asked, ¡°Is Li Dong dead?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I killed him!¡± Wang Hao nodded. ¡°What? You killed him?¡± Li Mengyao was feeling deeply shocked, because she couldn¡¯t imagine how Wang Hao could possibly have killed Li Dong. But since Wang Hao had come back in one piece, it meant that he had really killed Li Dong. Regardless of what had just happened outside the room, everything turned out well in the end. ¡°Thank you. You knew it was dangerous, but you came to my rescue anyway.¡± Li Mengyao¡¯s tears started falling again as she said these words, and she reached out to hug Wang Hao. ¡°Honey, don¡¯t be silly. Since you¡¯re my woman, I wouldn¡¯t let anybody bully you,¡± said Wang Hao as he started taking his clothes off. ¡°You¡­ What are you going to do? I was just feeling touched by your actions a few moments ago. Don¡¯t tell me you want to do that again?¡± asked Li Mengyao in a startled voice. ¡°What are you talking about? How could I be in a mood for that after I just hurt the back of my head?¡± Wang Hao found some ointment on the table and said, ¡°I¡¯ve got to at least take a bath and apply some ointment first. And then we can do that, right?¡± ¡°Argh, listen to yourself!¡± said Li Mengyao as she blushed, but she was a little happy deep down. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Hao was walking into the bathroom when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Mengyao. ¡°You can come in and help scrub my back. Remember to change into a black short skirt like that character wears in the game I play, as well as a pair of white knee socks. I like it when you¡¯re dressed like that.¡± ¡°Wha¡­?¡± Li Mengyao was a little embarrassed by this request, but, after realizing how many times she had already had sex with Wang Hao, it didn¡¯t seem to matter anymore. In no time, Li Mengyao had changed into a black short skirt and white knee socks as Wang Hao had requested, and she walked toward the bathroom. When she walked into the bathroom, Wang Hao was taking a bath. Li Mengyao noticed that there was an open box of condoms placed on the shelf on the side of the tub¡­ ¡°This fellow really wants to do it in the bathroom¡­¡± Li Mengyao started to feel a little afraid. Wang Hao wanted to have sex too often, and she was already feeling rather uncomfortable in her lower regions and didn¡¯t know if she could take it anymore. ¡­ One hour later, Wang Hao carried the limp Li Mengyao back to the bed. After that, he pulled out a cigarette out and started smoking away. When he looked at the completely exhausted Li Mengyao sleeping soundly, Wang Hao started to think about what had happened when he¡¯d first come back to the room. He felt that he had really been incapable. If he hadn¡¯t had the ability to turn into a zombie, Li Dong would have killed him easily. And so, Wang Hao decided that it was high time for him to make himself stronger. He couldn¡¯t just focus on leveling up the zombie system, he also had to make his own human body physically stronger. But for now, it was best to take a good rest. Wang Hao put out his cigarette. He fell back into bed and hugged Li Mengyao¡¯s soft body as he went to sleep. ¡­ Later, after night had fallen, Li Mengyao woke up feeling hungry. She opened her eyes and was about to go find something to eat when she heard some heavy panting sounds somewhere in the room. ¡°Huh?¡± Li Mengyao turned around and saw Wang Hao doing push-ups on the floor next to the bed. ¡°36¡­37¡­38¡­¡± Wang Hao was clenching his teeth as he tried his best to keep going. His entire body was covered in sweat. ¡°What are you doing? Why are you suddenly working out?¡± asked Li Mengyao with great surprise. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao panted for a minute, then continued to persist with his push-ups. ¡°48¡­49¡­50¡­done!¡± Wang Hao finished 50 push-ups and got up. But he didn¡¯t stop there. Instead, he squatted down and started doing squats. ¡°1¡­2¡­3¡­¡± ¡°Wang Hao, aren¡¯t you doing your workout a little too randomly? Surely¡­surely you should be following some sort of proper routine, right? If you work out like this, you¡¯ll end up injuring yourself,¡± said Li Mengyao in a worried voice. But Wang Hao completely ignored Li Mengyao¡¯s words and continued with his workout. He finally stopped only after he¡¯d powered through 30 squats. ¡°I really can¡¯t do it after all¡­this body of mine is seriously useless!¡± Wang Hao sighed disappointedly. He¡¯d intended to do 50 push-ups and 50 squats, but his body was really too weak. There was no way he could finish his planned workout. ¡°Forget it, when I have time, I¡¯ll go to the gym and get some protein shakes. Then I¡¯ll come back and start my workout again.¡± Wang Hao walked to the table and picked up a bottle of mineral water. He took two large gulps of water, then tore open a pack of sausages, and started eating. ¡°Wang Hao¡­can you tell me¡­why are you trying so hard to work out?¡± asked Li Mengyao curiously. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see what happened earlier today? If I hadn¡¯t used some sneaky tactics, Li Dong might have killed me. If I have to face future attacks with this weak, fragile body of mine, do you think I can protect you?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°So you¡¯re trying so hard to become stronger in order to protect me?¡± Li Mengyao felt rather touched. It was so romantic to find a man who was willing to change himself for her sake. ¡°That¡¯s right. In order to protect you, I have to become strong,¡± said Wang Hao. Since Li Mengyao thought of him like that, he was going to let her continue thinking that way. But, of course, Wang Hao knew that the real reason why he was working out so hard was for his own sake. That was because he was going to meet even more powerful opponents and even prettier women. So becoming physically stronger was something that he would eventually have to end up doing. There was no way he could avoid it at all. No matter how powerful he was when he was in zombie form, he would always have to be in human form in front of certain groups of people. One example was women. If he didn¡¯t have a strong body, then when he was faced with pretty women, he could only want more, but have no energy to carry on. It would be such a waste if he could only look upon the vast ocean, but merely sigh to himself in frustration. There were also many men he would have to face. In the long days of the Apocalypse ahead, he couldn¡¯t possibly always transform into a zombie in order to defeat men. If some men tried to attack him and he didn¡¯t want to reveal his secret in front of women, then he would have to rely on his human body¡¯s physical prowess to defeat those men. The probability of this happening was quite small, but there was still a chance of it that he needed to be prepared to face. So increasing his body¡¯s physical ability to face all sorts of unknown dangers that awaited him had become something that he had no choice but to do. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while tonight. You take care of yourself here. Do not open the door to anyone else but me, and don¡¯t make any noise if possible.¡± Wang Hao stood up, grabbed a piece of paper, and pasted it over the small glass panel of the room door. That way, no matter who stood outside, they wouldn¡¯t be able to see if there was someone inside the room or not. ¡°What? You¡¯re going out again?¡± Li Mengyao became a little fearful. She was scared when Wang Hao came back, but she was also scared when Wang Hao left. When Wang Hao came back, she was afraid that Wang Hao wanted to have sex again, but when Wang Hao left, she was afraid of having to face the terrifying night all by herself. ¡°Uh, huh.¡± Wang Hao looked at Li Mengyao and nodded as he said, ¡°I need to look for something. If everything goes well, I¡¯ll be back pretty soon.¡± ¡°Then please stay safe out there. Come back soon, okay? Without you, I can¡¯t fall asleep,¡± said Li Mengyao with a pitiful look on her face. ¡°Got it.¡± Wang Hao put on his clothes, slung his backpack across his back, picked up his katana and a flashlight, and walked out of the room. It was already past 8:00 at night, and the sky was very dark. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Orrrhhh¡­Urrrgggh¡­Orrrhhhh¡­ There were zombies everywhere downstairs, but none of them were the slightest bit interested when they saw Wang Hao, and they completely ignored him. He rode out of the school on his electric scooter and hit the streets outside. But when the scooter got to that gym he¡¯d been to yesterday, he stopped. He stopped because he realized that there was a light on upstairs. ¡°That¡¯s strange. Could that woman still be alive?¡± Wang Hao remembered that he had used a Zombie Bomb to kill off the two bad guys inside the gym and had left behind the woman who had been attacked and violated by the two guys. He¡¯d thought that the woman would probably be unable to endure the terror she¡¯d gone through and would eventually die. However, from the looks of it, she might still be alive. ¡°This woman is very strong.¡± Wang Hao complimented her to himself, then continued on his way. He was going to check out the bungalow area up in the mountains first. Once he had confirmed where those rich youngsters were living, he was going to come back and get some protein from the gym. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Orrrhhh¡­Urrrgggh¡­Orrrhhhh¡­ The highway at night was covered with wandering zombies. Wang Hao rode his electric scooter, weaving in and out of the crowd of zombies. Half an hour later, he¡¯d arrived at the foot of a mountain. The concentration of zombies here was fairly low. Two or three of them would come by every once in a while. The threat to humans was low around here. Wang Hao saw that his electric scooter only had half a charge left, so he found a place to park it. He decided to take this chance to work out as well. He strapped the katana to his back, took some food and mineral water, and started running up the mountain. ¡°HOO¡­HOO¡­¡± Wang Hao was really in very bad shape. After running for a while, he was already panting heavily. He¡¯d only run for a few hundred yards and his legs already felt as if they¡¯d been filled with lead weights. The more he ran, the heavier they felt. ¡°I can¡¯t stop¡­must not stop¡­if I want to train my body, I have to push myself to the limit.¡± Wang Hao knew that pushing himself too hard could injure his muscles, but he also knew that he had to injure his muscles in order for new muscles to grow. ¡°HOO¡­HOO¡­¡± Wang Hao found it more and more difficult to breathe, and he finally stopped when he was getting close to the top of the mountain. GLUG GLUG GLUG Wang Hao opened a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down. Then he pulled out a sausage and gobbled it down quickly. After a rest, he¡¯d finally regained some energy. But he didn¡¯t continue running anymore. He could already see a light not too far away. Wang Hao followed the road and soon reached the top of the mountain. The luxurious bungalow area appeared before his eyes. Wang Hao looked at this scene and went into a daze for a long time. All the bungalows in this estate had been painted white, with a fence around each house. It looked like a European bungalow estate from the 1500s or something. ¡°So this is where all the rich people live? This is ridiculously luxurious.¡± Besides exclaiming in shock at the opulence of these houses, Wang Hao also told himself that he had to claim one of these houses as his own. In the past, he wouldn¡¯t even have dared to dream of living in such a bungalow because it was completely out of the realm of possibility. Now, however, he thought that he would be able to experience it. Just then, the sound of music started coming out of the bungalows. ¡°Who on earth is playing music at night? That¡¯s really a very careless thing to do. Luckily, there aren¡¯t many zombies in this area, otherwise those idiots playing music would have died without even knowing what hit them. Wang Hao followed the music as he went closer to the bungalows. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Orrrhhh¡­Urrrgggh¡­Orrrhhhh¡­ Very soon, Wang Hao spotted a group of zombies crowding in front of the main gates of one of the bungalows. The zombies clung onto the gates and were trying to push them open. But the metal gates were very sturdy, and this small group of zombies wasn¡¯t strong enough to push through them. There were two or three of those modified Land Rovers parked inside the courtyard of the bungalow, and the music that Wang Hao could hear was coming from one of the Land Rovers. Wang Hao even noticed that the Land Rover that was playing music was moving slightly. ¡°These fellows really know how to enjoy life, huh.¡± Wang Hao looked away from the car at the fence surrounding the bungalow. He noticed that someone had stuck sharp metal spikes on the top of the entire fence. If anyone tried to climb into this house, they would be stabbed by these sharp spikes. Wang Hao walked all around the bungalow before hiding behind the fence to observe what was happening inside. After a short while, the front door of the bungalow opened, and a young man with dyed blond hair walked out as a group of men guarded him. He walked up to the Land Rover that was playing the music and slammed the car door open violently. He shouted, ¡°I told you to guard this place, so what the h*ll are you doing? Do you want to die?¡± KA¡­ The car door opened, and a man with short hair slowly came out of the car holding up his pants. He smiled and replied, ¡°Brother Hu, this place is so safe. Who would dare to make trouble for us? Besides, we¡¯ve got so many people with us, who would dare to provoke us?¡± PAK! Li Hu didn¡¯t say anything and just slapped this short-haired man across the face, leaving five fingermarks there. Then he said with a cold expression, ¡°We¡¯re now living in a time where everyone is fighting each other just to survive. Who knows whether anyone has their eye on us. If someone wanted to attack us and you¡¯re so relaxed about keeping watch out here, we¡¯re all going to die without knowing what hit us.¡± ¡°Got it, Brother Hu.¡± The short-haired young man nodded and didn¡¯t say anything more. ¡°All right now, just take note of this, and don¡¯t let me discover you doing something like that again. If I catch you being unguarded like this because of a woman again, don¡¯t blame me for chasing you out of this place,¡± said Li Hu. ¡°Got it, Brother Hu. Even if I want to have fun with women, I won¡¯t hide inside the car anymore. I¡¯ll be outside the car keeping watch on the surroundings outside the gates,¡± said the short-haired young man. ¡°Humph.¡± Li Hu scoffed coldly, then pointed at the zombies crowding around the main gates. ¡°All of you, settle those zombies.¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Hu.¡± ¡°Brother Hu, why don¡¯t you go back in and rest? We¡¯ll deal with the situation here.¡± The men around Li Hu smiled ingratiatingly, and Li Hu nodded and went back into the house. The other men immediately carried their metal clubs and machetes and walked toward the metal gates. These men were pretty bold. They opened the metal gates and immediately started hacking and smashing away at the zombies, and they soon cleared the gates of all zombies. The men looked as if they were very familiar with dealing with zombies, so they probably did this sort of thing frequently. Wang Hao had noticed the men¡¯s attitude toward Li Hu and guessed that Li Hu was probably the boss here. ¡°These guys are pretty capable, so I have to figure out a way to deal with them.¡± Wang Hao frowned to himself. KA¡­ After the zombies had been cleared out, the short-haired man waited until everyone had left the courtyard before opening the door of the Land Rover again. He reached his hand in and pulled out a metal chain. In no time, a woman had been dragged out of the car like a dog. There was a metal collar around her neck that was connected to the chain in the man¡¯s hands. ¡°Come over here and lie down,¡± barked the short-haired man fiercely. The woman shuddered and quickly lay down on the bonnet of the car. ¡°Heh, heh¡­you¡¯d better make sure you scream louder later, okay?¡± said the short-haired man with a smile as he stood behind the woman and licked his lips. ¡°Okay.¡± The woman replied simply and just quietly lay on the bonnet of the car. ¡­ Wang Hao was watching everything that was happening in the courtyard and quietly clicked his tongue. These people were really inhumane and didn¡¯t treat others as human. ¡°If they discovered Li Mengyao, I think she would end up even worse off than this woman.¡± Wang Hao had decided that he was never going to let Li Mengyao face this sort of danger. Wang Hao didn¡¯t know exactly how many people were living inside this bungalow right now or what weapons they possessed. So he decided not to do anything for the moment. He continued to hide and observe them from where he was. He soon noticed that these people would send someone out to patrol the grounds from time to time. ¡°It looks like I¡¯ve got to wait for a suitable time to strike. If I just go in like this, they¡¯ll be prepared to attack and things could get very tricky.¡± Wang Hao then left the bungalow area. He was going to fetch more food and water before coming back to keep watch here. He was going to wait until these people had to go out to get food before taking the chance to take this place down. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Hao descended the mountain and rode the electric scooter back to the neighborhood near the school. He found a convenience store and stuffed his backpack with more food and drinks. ¡°Their food supply probably won¡¯t last too long, and they¡¯ll have to come down the mountain either tomorrow or the day after. When that happens, I¡¯ll probably have a chance,¡± thought Wang Hao to himself as he looked at the food in front of him. He decided that he would head for the bungalow area on top of the mountain first thing the next morning. Once he had decided, Wang Hao rode the electric scooter toward the gym. ¡°It¡¯s so late, and the lights are still on?¡± When Wang Hao arrived at the entrance of the gym, he noticed that the second floor of the gym still had the lights on. He was feeling really puzzled now and didn¡¯t know what on earth that woman could be doing. But even though he was really puzzled, Wang Hao didn¡¯t intend to go up and take a look. Regardless of what the woman was doing right now, it had nothing to do with him anymore. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Orrrhhh¡­Urrrgggh¡­Orrrhhhh¡­ Countless zombies were still wandering aimlessly about on the streets. The entrance to the gym was wide open, so some zombies had also wandered in. Wang Hao pushed these zombies aside and entered. He went to the storeroom and got himself a large package of protein powder. ¡°This package will probably last me for quite some time.¡± Wang Hao placed the package of protein powder on his scooter and was preparing to return to the dormitory. But just then, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman panting heavily coming from upstairs. Wang Hao instantly started frowning. Since he had already killed the two men inside the gym and a woman was still making that sort of noise, it meant that there was some new man up there. Wang Hao was very wary of having any unknown men in this neighborhood. After all, the Apocalypse had triggered the primitive natures of men. For the sake of women and food, they were willing to kill and plunder and wouldn¡¯t think much of it. Wang Hao didn¡¯t want to wait for trouble to come knocking on his door and decided to make an attack first. ¡°Zombie Bomb!¡± Wang Hao retrieved one Zombie Bomb and flung it out. BAM! There was a small explosion as a zombie appeared in front of Wang Hao and started wandering about aimlessly. Wang Hao found a safe place to hide himself and started controlling this zombie. The scene in front of him immediately changed as Wang Hao¡¯s consciousness entered the zombie¡¯s body. He immediately walked toward the second floor of the gym. He couldn¡¯t control this zombie for too long, so he had no time to waste. He listened to the sound of the woman and followed the stairs to reach the second floor after hopping over some obstacles. The door to the second floor was shut, and he couldn¡¯t see what was happening inside. Wang Hao reached out and tried to push the door open, but it was closed fast and couldn¡¯t be pushed open easily. Since there was a limit to how long he could control this zombie, Wang Hao didn¡¯t want to waste any time. BAM! He took a step back and used his shoulder to slam against the door. The door started shaking violently from the impact and looked like it was about to collapse. The sounds of the woman inside the room suddenly came to a stop when this happened. Wang Hao ignored these changes in the situation inside the room. He took another step back and crashed into the door again. BAM! The door shook violently again, and it looked like it was shaking even harder now. Wang Hao¡¯s confidence increased, and he continued crashing into the door again and again. BAAAAAM! There was a terrible blast as Wang Hao finally managed to slam his way through the door. He had used too much force at one time, so Wang Hao lost his balance and fell to the floor when the door gave way. But the moment he fell to the floor, Wang Hao saw that besides two women, there wasn¡¯t anybody else in the entire room. ¡°It¡¯s a zombie!¡± The two women in the room screamed in terror and quickly moved away from Wang Hao. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Wang Hao got to his feet and looked at the two women in front of him as he felt dazed. He had seen one of the women before. She was the woman who had been treated as a toy by the two men he¡¯d killed the last time. Wang Hao had never seen the other woman. He wasn¡¯t sure if this second woman had just arrived at the gym, or if she had already been hiding here the last time. She was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed spectacles, and her gaze seemed rather authoritative. ¡°This woman is probably a teacher. How strange! Why haven¡¯t I ever seen her before?¡± Wang Hao looked at the woman in front of him and felt very puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s a zombie! How did this zombie get in?¡± ¡°It must be because the sounds you were making earlier were too loud, and you¡¯ve attracted the attention of the zombies,¡± said the woman in the black suit. ¡°Oh, no¡­it¡¯s all my fault¡­but I couldn¡¯t control myself. Those men used to torture me every day, and, without their torturing, I find it hard to get used to it¡­¡± said the other woman. ¡°What¡¯s the use of saying all this now? A zombie has come barging in, so hurry up and think of a way to kill it,¡± said the woman in black with a trembling voice. ¡°Are you kidding? How can I possibly kill a zombie?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯d killed a zombie before?¡± asked the woman in black. ¡°I¡­I lied to you. After that zombie came in and killed those two men, it strangely died all by itself. I didn¡¯t kill it,¡± said the woman. ¡°What? Then what are we going to do? Do we just wait here to die?¡± asked the woman in black. She was still young and had a bright future ahead of her. She didn¡¯t want to die. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Wang Hao looked at the terrified expressions on the faces of the two women in front of him and felt deeply frustrated. He didn¡¯t know if he should just kill them both or turn and leave. If he turned and left, then these two women would definitely become suspicious. They might start to wonder if a human was controlling these zombies. Wang Hao didn¡¯t know what to do. He hadn¡¯t intended to run into such a sticky situation either. But, at the same time, he didn¡¯t want to kill these two women either. ¡°How strange¡­why doesn¡¯t this zombie try to bite us?¡± The two women started getting suspicious. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll leave everything to fate.¡± Wang Hao canceled his control of the zombie. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the first floor If those two women could kill that zombie, then it meant that they weren¡¯t destined to die yet. ¡°AHH!¡± A few seconds later, a terrible scream came from upstairs. Wang Hao shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and started walking out of the gym. But just as he was about to step out of the gym, he stopped himself. ¡°Am I being too inhumane by doing this?¡± Wang Hao suddenly started to question his actions. He felt like he had become just like those bastards who didn¡¯t care about human lives. Even though Wang Hao didn¡¯t think he was a good person, he didn¡¯t think he was a bad guy either. But now, was there any difference in the way he was behaving and the way those bad guys had behaved? ¡°I can¡¯t go on like this. If I do that, I¡¯ll lose my humanity. That¡¯s not what I want¡­¡± Wang Hao suddenly spun around and went back upstairs. When he reached the doorway of the second floor, he saw that the zombie had struck one woman down, and the floor was covered with blood and entrails. The woman in black had collapsed limply on the floor. She looked at the zombie with eyes filled with terror, and her expression was pale, as if she was just waiting for death to befall her. ¡°My actions have made me more like a demon, haven¡¯t they?¡± Wang Hao looked at the pitiful woman sitting waiting for death and sighed. He pulled out the katana, held it tightly, and ran across the room quickly. Chapter 20 CRAAACK! Wang Hao ran across the room and used his katana to cut off the zombie¡¯s head. Anyone who didn¡¯t know any better would have thought that Wang Hao had attacked so swiftly that the zombie couldn¡¯t react in time. But Wang Hao knew that the zombie didn¡¯t react to his imminent attack because it didn¡¯t regard him as food in the first place. The woman in the black suit was completely stunned. She had never imagined that at her darkest moment, a hero would fall from the sky and rescue her from this terrible danger. Her eyes widened as she looked at Wang Hao. Her heart was still beating very quickly, and she still hadn¡¯t recovered from the fright she¡¯d felt earlier. ¡°Are you all right?¡± Wang Hao was the one who spoke first. ¡°I¡¯m¡­I¡¯m fine. Thank you¡­thank you for saving me!¡± The woman looked at Wang Hao gratefully as large tears fell from her eyes. ¡°If not for you, I would have been bitten to death by that zombie.¡± ¡°Ah, I see¡­¡± Wang Hao looked a little awkward. But the woman didn¡¯t notice his awkwardness and continued, ¡°My name is Xu Simin. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My name is Wang Hao.¡± ¡°Wang Hao, thank you so much. You¡¯re really my savior,¡± said Xu Simin with teary eyes. Wang Hao started to feel a little guilty. He was the one who had let this zombie in, and now he had killed it. How could he possibly accept her gratitude? ¡°It¡¯s all right. There¡¯s no need to be so polite. Since you¡¯re fine, I¡¯ll be off now,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? Where are you going? I still have a lot of food here, and it¡¯s enough for both of us to live on for a long time,¡± said Xu Simin. ¡°You want me to stay?¡± Wang Hao looked at Xu Simin. She had fair skin, long black hair, large eyes, and bright red lips. She was a very pleasant-looking beauty. ¡°Uh-huh. I¡¯m afraid of being here all by myself, so I¡¯d like you to stay,¡± said Xu Simin softly. ¡°I don¡¯t mind staying, but what would be my status here?¡± asked Wang Hao as his gaze looked toward Xu Simin¡¯s fair, supple long legs. ¡°You¡­then what do you want?¡± Xu Simin started feeling fearful when she saw the way Wang Hao was looking at her. ¡°I want you to become my woman. That way, I can stay and be your protector,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Impossible!¡± Xu Simin shook her head. ¡°I already have a boyfriend, so there¡¯s no way I can become your woman. I want to keep my body for my boyfriend.¡± ¡°In that case, that¡¯s the end of the discussion. I saved you, but it doesn¡¯t mean that I have to stay here and protect you.¡± Wang Hao then turned and walked back toward the door again. Xu Simin just watched as Wang Hao disappeared into the distance. She thought of calling him back, but she couldn¡¯t get the words out. After the Apocalypse happened, men had tried to force her to sleep with them, but she¡¯d put a dagger to her own throat and said she would rather kill herself than to give in. No man had managed to bed her yet. But now, after she¡¯d come so close to this terrifying zombie, her heart had started to sway. But Wang Hao really looked way too ordinary and was nowhere near her ideals of a tall, rich, handsome man. ¡°Too bad¡­if he didn¡¯t look like such a bum, I might have agreed,¡± sighed Xu Simin. She just watched as Wang Hao slowly walked away and eventually chose to remain silent. Even though she was living in apocalyptic times, she still didn¡¯t want to force herself to do something she wasn¡¯t willing to. ¡­ Wang Hao left the gym on his electric scooter and returned to the school. Xu Simin was quite pretty, but she was way off from Xu Xin and definitely nowhere near a school belle like Li Mengyao. This apocalyptic world had no lack of women, and Wang Hao didn¡¯t want to waste too much time trying to get one woman. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ When he got back to the female dormitory, Wang Hao saw that a few more zombies had appeared along the corridor. Wang Hao ignored these zombies and went straight up to the third floor. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Several zombies were wandering around on the third floor as well. Wang Hao took a step forward, pulled out his katana, and slashed all these zombies dead. Creeaak¡­ Wang Hao pushed the dormitory door open and saw that Li Mengyao was already sitting upright. ¡°Wang Hao, you¡¯re back?¡± asked Li Mengyao in a slightly agitated voice. The room was very dark, and she couldn¡¯t see clearly. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Wang Hao shut the door and lit the candle on the desk. ¡°Wang Hao, it¡¯s really you. You left for such a long time, and I was so worried about you.¡± Li Mengyao didn¡¯t care about putting on her shoes and just hopped up from the bed to hug Wang Hao. ¡°Wifey, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be fine! If I died so easily out there, then I wouldn¡¯t be worthy to be your man.¡± Li Mengyao hugged Wang Hao from behind, and he could smell the sweet fragrance from her body. He felt rather touched inside. Wang Hao had always felt very lonely inside, but now someone was finally worried about him, and this made him feel very warm inside. ¡°Don¡¯t say such things. Nothing will happen to you.¡± Li Mengyao helped Wang Hao put his backpack aside and then pulled him over to the bed. ¡°Without you by my side at night, I can¡¯t sleep at all.¡± ¡°Wifey¡­then I¡¯ll be sure to accompany you to bed tonight.¡± Wang Hao looked at the obedient expression on Li Mengyao¡¯s face and started getting aroused again. He stretched out and grabbed the box of condoms next to the bed. ¡°Oh goodness¡­are you going to do that again? Why are you men all like that?¡± That was what Li Mengyao said, but she didn¡¯t resist him at all. She had had sex with Wang Hao so many times already that one more time wouldn¡¯t matter. ¡­ When Wang Hao woke up the next morning, he looked at the pile of used condoms and toilet paper on the floor and was surprised by himself. His body was very weak, but he was really strong when it came to sex. Although he came five times the night before, he was still feeling energetic now. But Li Mengyao was really terribly exhausted and hadn¡¯t slept well the whole night. Wang Hao ate some biscuits, drank a bottle of mineral water, and started working out again. It was past 9:00 by the time Li Mengyao woke up. Her legs were numb and aching, and she felt pain in some areas of her body. But she was simply too hungry and had no choice but to get out of bed. ¡°Huh?¡± Li Mengyao widened her sleepy eyes to see that Wang Hao was working out again. His entire body was covered with perspiration, and she started feeling really puzzled. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you tired at all? And you¡¯ve even woken up so early.¡± ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao stopped what he was doing and said with a laugh, ¡°I find it very strange too. How did the old saying go? It¡¯s always the ox that gets tired, but the field never feels tired? It doesn¡¯t seem to apply to us at all.¡± ¡°Tsk¡­you still have the cheek to talk like that about this. You never feel bad for me at all,¡± snapped Li Mengyao angrily. ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll take note next time. I have to attend to something, so I¡¯ll be out for a while and might be gone for a few days,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? Where are you going?¡± asked Li Mengyao in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m embarking on a big mission this time. If everything goes well, I¡¯ll take you to live in a bungalow,¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. ¡°A bungalow? Are you serious?¡± Li Mengyao¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Of course. Why would I lie to you?¡± Wang Hao then headed off to the bathroom. Half an hour later, Wang Hao had finished his bath and left the room. Chapter 21 Wang Hao arrived at the area just outside the bungalow estate at the top of the mountain and found a place to hide. He was going to wait for a suitable chance before taking action. However, after waiting all day long, no one had driven out to get food. The sky slowly darkened, and Wang Hao didn¡¯t have much food left. GURURU¡­ His stomach was beginning to growl. Wang Hao studied all the bungalows around him. There were so many bungalows, and he had no idea what the situations were in each one. It was already nighttime, and he realized that no one was going to go out now at night to search for food. So Wang Hao decided to give up his reconnoitering for the day. Instead, he started walking toward the other bungalows that were further away from his target. Rustle¡­rustle¡­ He walked across a green patch of grass, making a slight rustling sound. In no time, Wang Hao found himself in front of another bungalow on the other side of the complex. This bungalow had a fence around it, and there was a red sports car parked inside the fence. It looked like a Ferrari. Wang Hao became interested. He had seen articles on these kind of cars before, and they cost a few million bucks. In the past, he could only imagine what sitting in a sports car would feel like. But now, he could actually own one. ¡°Zombie Form!¡± Wang Hao called out softly. After he¡¯d switched to Zombie Form, his jumping abilities increased five times at least, so it was easy for him to just hop over the fence. After that, Wang Hao reverted to Human Form. ¡°Is this a super-car?¡± Wang Hao looked at the luxury car sitting in front of him and felt his heart begin to race. Even though there was a thick layer of dust on the surface of the car, it didn¡¯t affect the excitement in his heart at all. Wang Hao didn¡¯t know how to drive, but he couldn¡¯t help it, he wanted to sit behind the wheel to have a feel what driving it would be like. He sat down in the comfortable seat, putting his legs under the steering wheel. This felt pretty good. But Wang Hao didn¡¯t know how to drive. Otherwise, he would definitely have given this car a go. ¡°I think Li Mengyao knows how to drive. I¡¯ll get her to teach me.¡± Wang Hao made this decision, then hopped out of the car. He then walked toward the door of the bungalow. The door wasn¡¯t locked, so Wang Hao just pushed it open. ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Hao stepped onto the red-carpeted floor and entered the living room. He started looking around. He felt that this bungalow was completely different from what he had imagined. The space was very big, but it seemed a little too empty. There was no furniture in the living room, and the walls were covered with oil paintings, but he couldn¡¯t make out what the paintings were depicting. Wang Hao walked around the first floor and found nothing, so he headed for the second floor. ¡°Why does it feel like there¡¯s nobody living in this bungalow?¡± Wang Hao frowned. There were several rooms on the second floor, but they were all completely empty too. When he reached the third floor, Wang Hao finally found something covered with a white cloth. He reached out to pull the white cloth away to find that the item beneath it was a piano. ¡°I suppose an artist used to live here.¡± Wang Hao felt that there was nothing left in this house for him to discover, so he decided to leave. Just then, he noticed a faint light coming out from under the door of one of the rooms. At first, Wang Hao thought he was seeing things, but, after looking more carefully, he saw that there really was light coming out from under one of the doors. ¡°So somebody still lives here.¡± Wang Hao was surprised. He slowly went closer to that door. ¡­ Inside the room, a woman wearing a long black dress with an aristocratic air about her was lying on a real leather sofa. In front of her was a white European-style table with several open bottles of red wine on the table. The woman was looking out at the dark skies through the window. Then, suddenly, she reached out for a glass of red wine with fair fingers and gently tipped the wine into her mouth. Six months ago, her father had passed away from cancer. So she¡¯d dismissed all the servants, sold off everything in the bungalow, and prepared to migrate to another country. But fate had played a huge joke on her. Just after she¡¯d returned to the bungalow to take a few things with her when she migrated, the Apocalypse had hit. Her heart was filled with despair now. She was trapped in this bungalow. There were many, many zombies outside, and she would definitely die if she left the bungalow. For the past two weeks, she hadn¡¯t eaten anything. All she¡¯d done was drink red wine every day. She didn¡¯t have much strength left, and it was difficult for her to even stand. She was just waiting for death. But she wasn¡¯t afraid of dying. In fact, she hoped death would come soon. She had followed her father around ever since she¡¯d been a child, and her heart had been heavily influenced by art. Her outlook was completely different from most other people as a result. She didn¡¯t want to die being torn to pieces by a zombie. That would be really disgusting. She wanted to die in a more artistic fashion, for example, as Hemmingway had killed himself with a pistol, or from drinking a glass of poison. She was ready to just enjoy the process of death slowly overtaking her. The woman noticed that there was no more red wine left on the table, so she slowly stood up. Her father loved to drink wine too, and he had a lot of famous foreign wines stored in the basement. She had relied on these red wines to live on for the past two weeks. Creaaak¡­ The woman slowly opened the door and walked out of the room. Just as she stepped out of the room, she noticed an unfamiliar man standing in front of her. It was very obvious that someone had broken into her house. But there was no change in the woman¡¯s expression at all, as if the man in front of her was nothing but air. She walked straight past Wang Hao. ¡°Huh?¡± Wang Hao had a strange look on his face now, and he started to become interested in this woman. He peeked into the room and saw that there was no one else there and then he started chasing after the woman. He had already checked the rest of the bungalow earlier and confirmed that there was nobody else in the entire house. HUU! On the staircase landing, Wang Hao reached out and grabbed the woman¡¯s waist from behind. The woman stopped walking. She didn¡¯t struggle or fight back. She didn¡¯t have any more strength to fight back. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± asked the woman. ¡°You¡¯re so pretty, what do you think?¡± asked Wang Hao with a smile. This woman¡¯s skin was so fair and she exuded the air of an aristocrat, so he really wanted her badly. In the past, he wouldn¡¯t have even dared to dream of having a fair, gorgeous, high-class woman like this. Now that he had the chance, he wasn¡¯t going to let it go. ¡°Tsk, tsk.¡± The woman scoffed quietly and said, ¡°Men. Men like you who don¡¯t have any artistic sense are always obsessed with women¡¯s physical bodies. How superficial.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about art. I just want to know if you are you willing to sleep with me?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I am someone with an artistic sensibility, so my body is merely the medium by which I display art. You can do whatever you want with it. I just hope that you can promise me that once you¡¯ve satisfied your needs, you can kill me,¡± said the woman expressionlessly. Chapter 22 ¡°You want me to kill you? Why?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I don¡¯t have any hope left in life. If you kill me, you¡¯ll be helping me,¡± said the woman. ¡°Is that so? But what if I don¡¯t agree?¡± asked Wang Hao curiously. ¡°Then once you¡¯ve finished what you want to do, leave my room.¡± ¡°And what if I don¡¯t leave?¡± asked Wang Hao. He was quite interested now. ¡°Please don¡¯t become someone I find disgusting.¡± There was a faint look of displeasure on the woman¡¯s face. ¡°Ha, ha¡­all right then, I¡¯ll agree to your request. I¡¯ll kill you.¡± After Wang Hao said that, he carried the woman upstairs into a room. He placed her on the bed and started taking her clothes off. The woman didn¡¯t resist at all and just lay there without moving. ¡­ Half an hour later¡­ Wang Hao sat by the bed and started smoking. He suddenly realized that when a woman just lay there without moving, it wasn¡¯t fun at all. If this woman hadn¡¯t been filled with a unique sort of charm, he might have lost interest in her completely. ¡°Can you kill me now?¡± asked the woman quietly as she lay on the bed. Her expression was especially calm, as if everything that had happened earlier hadn¡¯t affected her at all. ¡°I¡¯m not going to kill you now,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Why? Are you going back on your word?¡± The woman was rather shocked. ¡°I¡¯m a man of my word, but I didn¡¯t say I¡¯d kill you right now. You¡¯re so pretty, so I¡¯m going to wait till I¡¯m done having fun with you, then I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Wang Hao then put his cigarette out and climbed into the bed again. ¡°You¡¯re really ridiculous. If the souls of the two parties involved are not intertwined, doing this sort of thing is very meaningless,¡± said the woman before continuing to ignore Wang Hao. ¡°Ha, ha¡­I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about, but it seems to make sense.¡± Wang Hao laughed, then flipped the woman¡¯s body over so that her back was facing him. ¡­ He took his bag out and started drinking a meal-replacement drink. After consuming so much energy, he had to replenish some. ¡°Why don¡¯t you hurry up and kill me? That would be doing a good deed,¡± said the woman. ¡°I¡¯m not a good person, so why should I bother doing good deeds?¡± With that, Wang Hao put his clothes back on and took out another meal-replacement drink from his bag and placed it on the table. ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. I hope you¡¯ll still be alive the next time I come by.¡± The woman lay on the bed and didn¡¯t react to anything Wang Hao said. ¡°You are a really cold and aloof woman.¡± Wang Hao held the woman by her neck and bent down to kiss her on the lips. Then he picked up his backpack, opened the door, and left. The woman waited until Wang Hao had gone before sitting up on the bed. ¡­ Wang Hao left the bungalow and headed for another one. He was thinking over what had happened between himself and that gorgeous heiress and felt that it was a beautiful memory. He felt that if he could conquer this gorgeous heiress and make her his woman, he would feel a great sense of achievement. The more aloof and elegant she was, the more he wanted to conquer her. If she could have his children, that would be amazing. That would be so interesting. Wang Hao continued to dream about all this as he barged into another bungalow. This bungalow was the complete opposite of the gorgeous heiress¡¯s bungalow. From the moment he stepped into the living room, he was shocked by the exquisite interior of the house. There was an enormous aquarium with a few hundred fish inside. He didn¡¯t know what all these fish were called, but they looked really expensive. They were all happily swimming away inside. Wang Hao knew that all these fish definitely cost at least ,000 each. And the huge TV on the wall had to be worth at least a million. But what Wang Hao didn¡¯t know was that all the wooden furniture in this house was worth a few million and the vases were worth tens of millions. It was very obvious that this house had belonged to someone who was super-rich. Wang Hao was very curious to know whether a tycoon like this would be able to survive after the Apocalypse hit. After quickly checking out the first floor, he headed for the second floor ¡°My goodness¡­this person must have been really accomplished. The second floor was full of antiques. And even though Wang Ho didn¡¯t know anything about antiques, he could still tell that these things were probably worth a terrifying amount of money. All the rooms on the second floor were filled with all sorts of paintings, as well as ancient bronzeware and ancient vases. After his initial shock at seeing so many expensive things in one place, he became indifferent. Wang Hao calmed down. He was here mainly to look for food, not to look at all these pieces of art that no longer had any value. He continued on to the third floor. DONG DONG¡­DONG DONG¡­ As he reached the third floor, Wang Hao heard the sound of something hitting on wood. Wang Hao immediately became cautious and snuck up to where the sound was coming from. He fixed his gaze on a room with its door ajar. Creaaaak¡­ Wang Hao reached out to slowly push the door in front of him open, where he saw a very strange scene. There was actually someone hanging in the air. Wang Hao used his flashlight to shine on the person¡¯s face and discovered that it was a zombie. ¡°Did this person become a zombie after committing suicide?¡± Wang Hao was very puzzled. The person was wearing a black suit, so it seemed as if he had dressed himself nicely on purpose. Perhaps he had made many preparations before killing himself because he wanted to look more dignified when he died. Wang Hao used his flashlight again to check out the room and found a black pistol on a table. There was a clip of bullets beside it too. A piece of paper was under the black pistol. Wang Hao glanced at the paper and read the suicide note. Its gist was that after the Apocalypse, his daughter had become a monster that went around biting others. She bit his wife to death, then injured his arm, and he finally locked her up in the basement. He could sense that his consciousness was becoming more and more hazy and he began to despair. He was afraid that he would also become a human-eating monster, so he chose to kill himself. He had killed many people in his lifetime but he didn¡¯t have the guts to use a gun to kill himself now, so he chose to hang himself instead. ¡°This guy was probably one of those legendary gangster bosses. He lived a pretty good life, but he was unlucky that someone in his family became a zombie. Otherwise, this pistol alone would probably have helped him to survive for a long time.¡± Wang Hao picked up the gun. It was weighty in his hands and felt pretty comfortable. He had never touched a real gun before, but he had played with toy guns that were modeled after the real thing. Both types were built the same way, except that the safety catch on a toy gun was just for show, while a real gun couldn¡¯t fire if the safety catch was still on. Wang Hao made sure that the safety catch was on before throwing it into his backpack. He wanted to try the gun out, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary alarm and putting those guys in the other bungalows on high alert, so he gave up on that idea for now. Chapter 23 Since he hadn¡¯t found any food in the house, Wang Hao didn¡¯t linger anymore and went back downstairs. But just as he reached the first floor, Wang Hao suddenly had a bright thought. He had seen what these bungalows looked like inside, but he had no idea what the basements looked like at all. With that in mind, Wang Hao started walking toward the entrance to the basement. Since this was the third bungalow he¡¯d been in, Wang Hao already knew where the entrance to the basement was. He came to a door and turned the handle. A flight of stairs appeared before him. They looked cold and sinister. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Immediately after he started walking downstairs, Wang Hao could hear the growls of a zombie. The basement was an enormous mess. All the things that had been in there had been strewn all over the floor. There were broken wine bottles and jars of vinegar that gave off a putrid smell. There were also bags of rice that had been broken open and scattered all around. Many other essential food items seemed to have also been stored down here. So this is where they store their food. The dim, cool environment is suitable for storing things like wine and food. The ventilation is good and so is the temperature. After Wang Hao finished looking at all the things lying around, he finally focused his gaze on the female zombie who had been standing around growling away. He was puzzled. There was something odd about this young lady zombie in the basement. This young lady had definitely become a zombie and was growling away nonstop. But besides some wounds on her body, her skin was just like a real person¡¯s, and it seemed even smoother than a real person¡¯s skin. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ She was wandering around the basement aimlessly, continuing to make growling noises. Wang Hao watched her for a while, then walked over to her and pulled up her clothes. A few minutes later, Wang Hao left the basement. He had discovered that even though this young lady behaved just like any other zombie, there had been no change in her body at all. It looked and felt just like an ordinary human being¡¯s: it was still smooth and supple. But Wang Hao wasn¡¯t completely insane, so even though he saw that this young lady¡¯s zombie body was no different from an ordinary human¡¯s, he didn¡¯t have any other ideas about having sex with her. If he ended up doing anything with this female zombie, he would definitely be pretty sick in the mind himself. ¡°Oh, wait a minute. Why didn¡¯t I check out her information?¡± Wang Hao had just left the basement when he suddenly remembered that he was able to view the attributes of these zombies. With that in mind, Wang Hao walked right back into the basement again. He wanted to know why this young lady zombie seemed so special. He went back down into the basement, and information about this young lady zombie popped up in his mind: Mutant Zombie: Level 1 (Killing it will award you 100 XP) Defense: 88 Attack: 60 Speed: 103 Talent: Bloodthirsty Violence. Once it tastes fresh blood, it will temporarily go into a violent mode, and all its attributes will increase ten times. Wang Hao looked at the young lady¡¯s zombie attributes and was terribly shocked. He didn¡¯t know that such zombies existed or that their attributes increased by so much after tasting fresh blood. This increase was even higher than his in Zombie Form. ¡°I¡¯ll just keep her here for now. Perhaps there might be some time when she¡¯ll come in handy.¡± Wang Hao figured that if he ran into some extremely powerful opponents, he¡¯d send this young lady zombie over to lead the attack. A zombie that could increase its attributes by ten times after entering a violent mode was definitely terrifying. It was easy to kill an ordinary zombie, but if a zombie had ten times the level of defense, it probably wouldn¡¯t be killed so easily. If nobody had guns, then such a Mutant Zombie was practically unstoppable. By the time he left the basement, it was already past midnight. Wang Hao headed for another bungalow. This bungalow didn¡¯t have anything strange about it besides three zombies wandering about inside. He was also very lucky to find enough food for him to have something to eat. Once he was finished eating and drinking, Wang Hao found a bedroom and fell asleep on the bed. Having three zombies within this huge bungalow was more than enough to ensure his safety here. ¡­ The next day, he woke up early as the sky had barely started to lighten up. Even though he had zombies guarding this house, it wasn¡¯t a familiar place for him, so he couldn¡¯t really be at ease. Thus, Wang Hao hadn¡¯t slept very well and woke up very early the next morning. He washed up in the bathroom, ate a little food, then left this bungalow. Wang Hao found a house that was closer to his target bungalow and secretly observed his target bungalow from the third-floor window. He smoked while occasionally taking a sip of a meal-replacement drink as he waited patiently for some kind of action from his targets. Time passed slowly, but Wang Hao had plenty of time. Finally, when the afternoon sun was at its hottest, Wang Hao saw that some people were finally making a move. He saw two men push a barrel of oil out from the garage along with some tools as they started to inspect and add fuel to the cars. A short while later, more people walked out of the bungalow. Three men and two women emerged from the bungalow. One man and one woman sat down in the modified Hummer in front, while two men and the other woman sat in the Hummer that was behind it. The two men in the courtyard used weapons to stab the zombies outside the metal gates, then opened the gates for the vehicles. After that, the Hummer that had been modified to look like a metal monster drove out first .A short time after, the second Hummer drove out too. The men waited for these two cars to leave, then hurriedly shut the metal gates behind them again. Then they packed up all the tools in the courtyard and pushed the barrel of petrol back into the garage. ¡°My chance is here now!¡± From the moment Wang Hao saw the three men and two women leave, he had already carried his backpack and gone downstairs with his katana in hand. When he reached the outside of the bungalow, the two men inside the garage had not come out yet. Wang Hao immediately switched to Zombie Form and hopped over the fence. Once he got inside, Wang Hao tread softly and headed toward the garage. ¡°Ho, ho¡­Li Hu has finally left the house. Both of us can go in and relax with that Zhang Qianqian.¡± Just then, the two men inside the garage came walking out while laughing and talking. In the next moment, they spotted Wang Hao. ¡°Ah! What¡­what is this?¡± The two men saw Wang Hao in Zombie Form, and their faces instantly paled in fright. However, since they were faced with a zombie, their first instinct was to turn and run back into the garage. There were many metal tools and weapons inside the garage, and they thought they could kill off a zombie with one hit. But Wang Hao didn¡¯t give them the chance to do that. He caught up with them in just two steps and used the katana to hack at one of their heads. He kicked the other man to the ground and held onto his neck with one hand. ¡°Ahhh!!¡± This man was scared to death, and he couldn¡¯t stop trembling all over. Wang Hao ignored him and used his sharp nails that had been dipped in blood to write a few words on the floor. Then he turned this man¡¯s head toward the words. ¡°What on earth?¡± The man¡¯s eyes grew big and round when he saw the words written on the floor. The sentence on the floor read: How many people do you guys have here? Chapter 24 ¡°A zombie actually knows how to write? What the h*ll is going on?¡± The man¡¯s eyes got very wide as he looked in disbelief at Wang Hao. He appeared terribly shaken. Everything that had just happened completely contradicted all the information he had learned about zombies since the Apocalypse. Graaaah¡­ Wang Hao loosened his grip on the man¡¯s neck and placed the katana against the man¡¯s throat. His message was very clear. If the man didn¡¯t answer him honestly, Wang Hao was going to kill him. After the man had gotten over his initial shock, he slowly regained his senses. He asked, ¡°If I tell you what you want to know, will you spare me?¡± Graaaahh¡­ Wang Hao growled and pushed his katana a little harder against the man¡¯s throat. The man¡¯s neck immediately started bleeding. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­please¡­I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk¡­¡± The man didn¡¯t dare to say anything else unnecessary and quickly spilled the beans. ¡°There are ten of us in total here. Besides the five who¡¯ve just left, there are three more inside the bungalow.¡± Graahh¡­ Wang Hao thought about this for a while. Since there were only three people left in the bungalow, that would be easy for him to deal with. PFFTT! After Wang Hao killed the man, he stood up and walked toward the main door of the bungalow. When he pushed the door open, he was a bit stunned by what he saw inside. He had already seen several bungalows, but the one he was seeing now shocked him. Inside there were a gigantic crystal chandelier, a plush carpet worth millions, and a TV that he knew for sure cost more than a million bucks. Everything in this place screamed that it had been owned by someone who was extremely wealthy. ¡°This place is not bad.¡± Wang Hao started to search the place. He checked the first floor and didn¡¯t find anybody there, so he went up to the second floor. There were several rooms on the second floor, including a room for LAN gaming, a fully equipped gym, and a karaoke room. In short, there were plenty of entertainment options in this house. ¡°I¡¯m going to walk from the south to the north, and I¡¯m going to walk from day until night. I want everyone to be able to see me, but nobody knows who I am.¡± Someone was inside the karaoke room singing a popular pop song. The room door was ajar, so Wang Hao could see two men inside drinking alcohol and singing at the top of their lungs. Creaaak¡­ Wang Hao gently pushed the door open. ¡°Huh?¡± The two men turned to look at the door in confusion and saw Wang Hao in Zombie Form. The air seemed to stand still at that moment. The music continued playing in the background, but the two men didn¡¯t hear it anymore. They couldn¡¯t take their eyes off Wang Hao. They had never seen a zombie so close to them before, and, worse still, they weren¡¯t even prepared for this one. They didn¡¯t have anything nearby that they could use to fight with, and the only door they could escape from had now been blocked by Wang Hao. ¡°It¡¯s a zombie¡­what do we do now?¡± The two men had gone completely pale, and they even began to stutter. ¡°What else can we do? Run!¡± One of them shouted loudly and pushed the other man toward Wang Hao. He was hoping to sacrifice his companion in hopes of making it out alive. Unfortunately for him, Wang Hao wasn¡¯t a real zombie. HUU! Wang Hao reached out to grab the neck of the man who¡¯d been pushed toward him, lifted him up, and smashed him against the floor. BAM! The man¡¯s head broke open from the impact, and he died on the spot. ¡°Ugh, how did that happen?¡± The man who had been hoping to use his companion to distract the zombie was stunned when he¡¯d seen what had happened. This zombie in front of him was not just smart, but also very strong. There was no chance of his escaping if he was faced with such a zombie. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me¡­please don¡¯t kill me¡­¡± The man kept moving backward, pleading for mercy as his voice trembled. Wang Hao ignored his pleas, dashed into the room, and kicked him in the chin. The man¡¯s jaw was instantly dislocated from the kick, and he flew backward. BAM! The man crashed heavily onto the floor, his eyes rolled up in his head, and he stopped breathing. After he had quickly taken care of these two men, Wang Hao walked out and shut the door of the karaoke room behind him. In the entire bungalow there was only one person left. If the man earlier had been telling the truth, then it must be the Zhang Qianqian who the two men in the garage had been talking about before Wang Hao barged in. Wang Hao reverted to Human Form and walked up to the third floor with his katana. Since he was going to face a woman, he didn¡¯t need to remain in Zombie Form. Once he reached the third floor, Wang Hao immediately started looking around. There were many rooms on this floor, and they all looked like bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms had a lot of bras and panties strewn all over the floor, and so Wang Hao decided they didn¡¯t belong to only one woman. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me these fellows are into threesomes and things like that?¡± Wang Hao guessed that things were probably like that. He saw dozens of used condoms in the garbage cans. The depravity of these people¡¯s daily lives was apparent. Wang Hao checked one room at a time. After he had finished checking all the other rooms, he stopped at the door of the final room, which had a piece of paper pasted on the door. There was one sentence written on this piece of paper: Besides meals, don¡¯t disturb me. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s a woman with quite a temper.¡± Wang Hao grabbed hold of the door handle, turned it, and opened the door. Inside the room, Wang Hao saw a woman sitting in front of a computer with earphones on as she shook her head to a beat. This woman was listening to music, and she hadn¡¯t noticed Wang Hao coming in. She only turned around to look up after Wang Hao had tapped her on the shoulder. ¡°Who are you? I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± The woman¡¯s face took on a suspicious look when she saw Wang Hao standing behind her. ¡°Ho, ho, ho¡­¡± Wang Hao laughed and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I just felt that this bungalow looked more luxurious than the others, so I wanted to come and live here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible¡­ Li Hu, Chao, and the others would never agree to that,¡± said the woman as she shook her head. ¡°There¡¯s an easy solution. I just have to kill all of them,¡± replied Wang Hao with an expressionless face. When the woman heard these words, a look of fear appeared on her face. She said, ¡°Wait a minute. Chao and some others are downstairs. Why didn¡¯t they stop you from coming up?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know who this Chao is, but I¡¯ve already killed four people,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? You¡¯ve killed all of them?¡± The woman was really shocked now. She knew how skilled Chao was at fighting. As long as he had a knife in his hand, even if five or six zombies surrounded him, he could settle all of them easily. Besides, the other three guys weren¡¯t weaklings either. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have survived the Apocalypse for so long. She felt sure that if Wang Hao was telling the truth, then this situation was truly terrifying. She looked deeply at Wang Hao, then withdrew her gaze. She had already decided that Wang Hao had to be a really frighteningly strong fighter. ¡°When will the five people who left earlier come back to the house?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I don¡¯t know. They¡¯ve gone out to look for food, and they¡¯ve never taken me along,¡± said the woman. ¡°What sort of weapons do they have?¡± ¡°Usually they¡¯ll take along weapons like machetes and axes¡­,¡± said the woman softly. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not lying to me?¡± Wang Hao reached out and grabbed hold of the woman¡¯s chin and forced her to look at him. Chapter 25 ¡°I¡­¡± The woman met Wang Hao¡¯s eyes, and her gaze shifted a bit. After hesitating for some time, she finally admitted, ¡°Li Hu and Biao both have guns.¡± When Wang Hao heard this, he started to think more carefully about what to do next. If only one person had had a gun, he would be able to figure out a way to deal with him. But if two people had guns, then things could get a little tricky. ¡°Besides the two of them with guns, what about the rest?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I can guarantee you that besides Li Hu and Biao, the rest don¡¯t have guns,¡± replied the woman firmly. ¡°I hope that what you say is true. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be the first one to die.¡± With that, he took the woman downstairs. They entered the karaoke room on the second floor. ¡°Ahh!¡± The woman saw the two men lying dead inside the room, and her face turned as white as a sheet. Even though the Apocalypse had been going on for so long, she had been hiding in the bungalow all this time and had never left the house before. She had never seen the terrifying zombies of the Apocalypse and had never seen dead bodies before either. She was horrified when she saw the dead bodies of two of the guys she had interacted with every day lying on the floor. ¡°Help me with hiding these two men¡¯s bodies,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°I¡­I don¡¯t dare to¡­,¡± stammered the woman in a trembling voice. ¡°Would you rather die?¡± Wang Hao took his pistol out and pulled the safety catch off. ¡°A gun? You actually have a gun too?¡± A look of shock appeared in the woman¡¯s eyes. ¡°Stop wasting time. Hurry up and do as I say,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Okay, okay¡­I got it¡­I¡¯ll do it right now!¡± The woman was very frightened, but she was even more afraid to die. In no time, with the help of the woman, the two bodies had been dragged into a more secluded room. Then they cleaned up the bloodstains. And, afterwards, Wang Hao took the woman down to the first floor and out to the garage. When she saw the two corpses in the garage, the woman wasn¡¯t as frightened as she had been before. But she was still astonished by Wang Hao¡¯s terrifying prowess. Even though he had not used his gun, he had singlehandedly killed off four men who all had been excellent fighters themselves. This was simply too terrifying. ¡°Do you have the keys to the garage?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°No, I don¡¯t,¡± answered the woman. ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll have to hide these two bodies as well,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Okay.¡± The woman nodded and helped to drag the bodies to a hidden corner of the garage. By the time they had hidden away all the dead bodies, half an hour had already passed. Wang Hao took note of the time, and then took the woman back into the bungalow. They went up to the third floor, back into the room in which he had found her. ¡°When this goes down, you must listen to everything I say. As long as everything goes well, I won¡¯t kill you,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely listen to you,¡± said the woman fearfully. Wang Hao found a rope and tied her to a chair, then used a black cloth to blindfold her. The woman had a lot of questions, but she didn¡¯t dare to ask him anything. After a while, Wang Hao heard some noise coming from outside. He ran to the window and looked out. He saw a modified Hummer parked outside the main gates of the bungalow. The Hummer was honking constantly, but nobody was coming to open the gates. ¡°Bloody h*ll! Where have they all disappeared to?¡± The people in the car didn¡¯t want to wait anymore, so they had no choice but to get out of the car and deal with the zombies outside the gates themselves and then open the gates. In no time, the two Hummers were parked side by side inside the courtyard of the bungalow. ¡°Brother Hu, where do you think Yu and the rest have run off to? They¡¯re not even watching the gates,¡± remarked the woman next to Li Hu. ¡°Tsk, tsk.¡± Li Hu didn¡¯t say anything, but he had a nasty expression on his face. Nobody else dared to say anything, and they just followed Li Hu into the bungalow. They didn¡¯t run into anybody on the first or the second floors. But when they reached the third floor, they could hear some moaning sounds coming out of Zhang Qianqian¡¯s room that were enough to make one¡¯s face turn red and one¡¯s heart start racing. ¡°D*mn it, the four of them actually went looking for Zhang Qianqian, and they¡¯re having a five-person party inside.¡± Li Hu instantly flew into a rage. ¡°What the h*ll? We¡¯re risking our lives searching for food, while they¡¯re up here enjoying themselves.¡± Biao caught up with Li Hu. They all had equally nasty expressions on their faces, and they all felt that these men had gone overboard in neglecting their duties and having fun. ¡°None of you are to stop me. If I don¡¯t teach Yu and the rest a good lesson today, then they will stop respecting me as their boss in the future.¡± With that, Li Hu started marching toward Zhang Qianqian¡¯s room. Just as the rest were about to follow him, they heard the sound of something breaking downstairs. ¡°Come along now, let¡¯s go downstairs to see what that noise was. Boss knows how to handle those guys in the room. We don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Biao quickly made his way downstairs with the rest. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Orrrhhh¡­Urrrgggh¡­Orrrhhhh¡­ The sounds of a zombie could be heard from one of the rooms on the second floor. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there a zombie here?¡± Biao¡¯s expression turned grim as he slowly walked toward the room where he¡¯d heard a zombie. Back on the third floor, Li Hu kicked open Zhang Qianqian¡¯s door. But all he saw was Zhang Qianqian tied to a chair with a black cloth covering her eyes. ¡°What the h*ll is going on?¡± Li Hu was rather confused, because he¡¯d thought he was going to see five people tumbling about on the bed. He definitely hadn¡¯t expected to find Zhang Qianqian tied to a chair instead. Orrrhhhhh! Just then, a zombie that had been hiding in the room pounced over and bit Li Hu on the shoulder. ¡°AHH!¡± Li Hu howled in pain and immediately reached for his gun. But this zombie attacked too quickly, and its second bite landed on his neck. Li Hu had just pulled his gun out. He took a shot at the zombie¡¯s head. BANG! A gunshot rang out, and the zombie collapsed onto the floor. Li Hu clutched his neck and struggled for a while, but he couldn¡¯t stop himself from eventually collapsing onto the floor also. Zhang Qianqian¡¯s eyes were blindfolded, so she couldn¡¯t see anything. But she was sure that someone had definitely died. She really hoped that the one who had died was the intruder. But reality was very cruel. The door of Zhang Qianqian¡¯s room opened again. Wang Hao walked in with a smile and stood next to Li Hu. ¡°You guys weren¡¯t simple. You actually had a pistol. If I hadn¡¯t known about this earlier, I really might not have been able to kill you.¡± Wang Hao picked up the pistol from the floor and put it away with a pleased look on his face. After that, he removed Zhang Qianqian¡¯s blindfold. The first thing that Zhang Qianqian saw when she opened her eyes was Li Hu lying dead on the floor. Her heart immediately despaired. The only hope she had had was extinguished. ¡°You¡¯d better not start screaming and shouting, otherwise you¡¯re going to end up just like him,¡± warned Wang Hao in a cold voice. ¡°I won¡¯t scream and shout.¡± Zhang Qianqian nodded with tears in her eyes. ¡°Excellent.¡± Wang Hao reached out to pinch Zhang Qianqian¡¯s smooth, supple face, then turned and started to walk out of the room. But just as he reached the door, Wang Hao heard the sound of people coming up the stairs. Without any hesitation, Wang Hao pulled out a Zombie Bomb and flung it down the stairs. ¡°AHH!¡± The minute the Zombie Bomb turned into an actual zombie, he heard the screams of a woman. Wang Hao didn¡¯t intend to hide. He carried his gun and walked out to the landing of the staircase. Chapter 26 Wang Hao stood on the landing and secretly peeked down the stairs. A zombie had already pounced on a woman, knocking her to the floor and biting through her neck. ¡°What the h*ll is going on? Why are there zombies in our bungalow?¡± The other three people moved back in fright. One of the men had a gun in his hand, and he aimed it at the zombie that was sprawled on the floor tearing the woman to pieces. BANG! With a loud bang, the head of the zombie exploded on the spot. Wang Hao shrank back after seeing this. This man had a gun, so if he went down there he would be in great danger. ¡°Forget it. I have plenty of Zombie Bombs, so I don¡¯t have to be afraid.¡± Wang Hao grabbed five Zombie Bombs and threw all of them downstairs. Meanwhile, he hid inside one of the rooms and started to control one of the zombies. The image before him changed, and he was now on the stairs. There were four other zombies with him. Two men and a woman were now at the bottom of the staircase, staring up at the zombies in utter shock and disbelief. They couldn¡¯t understand why these zombies had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ When the zombies smelled humans, they immediately went into a frenzy and rushed down the stairs. ¡°Hurry up and hide! There are too many zombies,¡± Biao shouted while holding onto his gun. The other two immediately ran toward the gym behind them. BANG! After taking one shot, Biao started to quickly move backward as he fired. But because he was in a panic, it took him several shots before he¡¯d finally killed one zombie. When he saw that the zombies were coming closer and closer to him, Biao had no choice but to start running toward the gym. ¡°Trying to run? It¡¯s too late.¡± Wang Hao dashed over, grabbed hold of Biao, and bit him on the neck. ¡°AHH!¡± Biao let out a bloodcurdling scream before collapsing onto the floor. Wang Hao ignored him and headed for the other two survivors. The man and the woman had nearly reached the entrance to the gym. The man ran more quickly, and the woman lagged behind him. ¡°Hurry up and come in,¡± the man said. However, when he saw that Wang Hao was right behind the woman, he slammed the door in her face. ¡°No¡­don¡¯t close the door¡­¡± The woman was in despair and started banging on the door. But the door remained shut fast and didn¡¯t look like it was going to open up again. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The woman heard the zombie growls behind her and immediately fell to her knees, paralyzed with fear. Wang Hao looked at the helpless woman and didn¡¯t do anything. After all, the other two surviving zombies had already come pouncing over. They grabbed hold of the woman and started tearing her to pieces. Wang Hao could hear the terrible screams of the woman as he looked at the door to the gym in front of him. The door was shut fast, so there was no way to get in. But Wang Hao looked at the door handle and decided to try it. Creaaak¡­ To his surprise, the door actually opened. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s going on?¡± The man sitting on the floor of the gym with his back facing the door was in shock. He¡¯d heard the terrible screams of the woman outside the door and figured the woman wasn¡¯t going to push the door open anymore. Once he¡¯d let his guard down, he didn¡¯t try to block the door anymore. To him, only humans knew how to use door handles. Zombies would never think of turning a door handle. But what was happening right now made his heart nearly explode. The man swiftly got to his feet and tried to shut the door again. But it was too late. Wang Hao wasn¡¯t going to give him the chance to do that. BAM! Wang Hao crashed open the door and reached a hand out to grab the man whose eyes were wide open with terror. He knew that he couldn¡¯t win against a zombie. PFFT! Wang Hao¡¯s fingers tore through the man¡¯s neck. ¡°Why¡­how¡­¡± The man clutched his profusely bleeding neck with his eyes wide open as he lifelessly fell to the floor. Until the moment he died, he¡¯d had no idea how all these zombies had managed to get into the bungalow. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Just then, Wang Hao could hear the growling of zombies coming from the room behind him. ¡°That¡¯s odd¡­why are there zombies in there?¡± Wang Hao opened the door and saw the two zombies inside. These two zombies were the men who had been singing karaoke earlier. They had actually turned into zombies now. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Wang Hao looked at the two zombies in front of him, found a rope, and tied these two zombies and the other two zombies from his Zombie Bombs together, and dragged all four zombies to the first floor. He dragged them all the way out of the bungalow before untying them. There were very few zombies around the bungalow, so it would be a pity to kill them off. He¡¯d even planned to learn how to drive and then drive a whole bunch of zombies up to the bungalow to guard and patrol the surroundings. Very soon, the Zombie Bomb¡¯s time expired. Wang Hao¡¯s consciousness returned to his actual body. He went to look for Zhang Qianqian and untied her from the chair. ¡°Did you kill them all?¡± asked Zhang Qianqian in a trembling voice. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯ve killed them all,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Then are you going to kill me?¡± asked Zhang Qianqian. ¡°That depends on how you behave. If you behave well, then I won¡¯t kill you,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°I got it.¡± Zhang Qianqian nodded and suppressed her fear as she started dragging Li Hu¡¯s dead body downstairs. ¡°This woman is quite clever.¡± Wang Hao nodded with a pleased look on his face, but he didn¡¯t intend to let her live at all. After all, he had killed all of her companions, so this woman would definitely bear a grudge against him. If he let his guard down one day, Zhang Qianqian might secretly stab him in the back. He wasn¡¯t going to take such a gamble. He didn¡¯t lack women in the Apocalypse. Zhang Qianqian was really very pretty though. She had fair, long legs, and her round, large bosom kept calling out to him, triggering an excitement and impulse within his heart. But he wasn¡¯t a man whose thoughts were controlled by the lower half of his body. If he wanted to enjoy the many beauties of the Apocalypse, the first thing he needed to do was to make sure he stayed alive. If he died, then everything would be meaningless. Wang Hao went to the second floor and took Biao¡¯s gun as well. One hour later, Zhang Qianqian had managed to drag all the dead bodies to the grass outside. ¡°Find a shovel and dig a hole here, then bury all of them.¡± Wang Hao looked around the courtyard and pointed to an empty area. ¡°But¡­I¡¯m very tired now.¡± Zhang Qianqian looked at him with her large eyes as she put on a pitiful expression. When Li Hu was around, he¡¯d never made her do anything so tiring. But now, she¡¯d had to do all sorts of menial labor for Wang Hao and couldn¡¯t even get a smile from him. The difference in treatment was astounding. But Zhang Qianqian believed that she would be able to use her beauty to slowly conquer Wang Hao. ¡°All right then, it¡¯s getting a little late. Let¡¯s go back inside and eat something first.¡± Wang Hao had started to feel hungry too, so he returned to the bungalow with Zhang Qianqian. Zhang Qianqian led the way and found them food. One could think about other desires once he was full and warm. So after Wang Hao had eaten his fill, he started to look Zhang Qianqian up and down as she ate. Chapter 27 Zhang Qianqian ate her food very delicately. She tore her bread into small pieces and put them into her little red mouth slowly. If Wang Hao hadn¡¯t known that Zhang Qianqian had already slept with a lot of the men who¡¯d lived in this bungalow, he might have treated her as an adorable girl next door. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± asked Zhang Qianqian, seeming puzzled. ¡°No reason. Go take a bath. I¡¯ll be waiting for you in your room,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Qianqian was a little stunned and didn¡¯t know what he was talking about. But when she saw Wang Hao pull out a box of condoms from his backpack, a tinge of smugness spread across her face. ¡°This smelly bum has probably never seen a pretty girl like me before, and he¡¯s unable to control himself now. Tee-hee!¡± These thoughts went through Zhang Qianqian¡¯s mind as she looked at Wang Hao. Then she said, ¡°Okay, wait for me. I¡¯ll be sure to clean myself really well.¡± Zhang Qianqian finished her bread in a few more bites, then ran to her room to change into her pajamas, and headed off to the bathroom. She had already guessed that an ordinary-looking guy like Wang Hao had probably never seen a girl as pretty as herself, so as long as she used a few tactics on him, she was sure that Wang Hao would become so infatuated with her that he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave her side. After a short while, Zhang Qianqian had finished bathing and went back to her room to see Wang Hao. ¡°Are you clean?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°I¡¯m really clean now. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can smell me for yourself,¡± said Zhang Qianqian coquettishly. ¡°I believe you. That¡¯s good enough. Come over here and lie on your stomach.¡± Wang Hao pointed at the large bed. ¡°Huh¡­you¡¯re just going to do it like this?¡± Zhang Qianqian was a little dismayed because she had come up with a lot of ideas for foreplay. Now she was afraid she wouldn¡¯t be able to find a way to gain Wang Hao¡¯s favor. ¡°What else did you think I was supposed to do?¡± asked Wang Hao with an expressionless face. ¡°Fine, fine, I¡¯ll do whatever you want, all right?¡± Zhang Qianqian made a face and reluctantly lay down on her stomach. She was upset inside. Doing it like this made her feel like she was just an outlet for him, and it was an insult to her. Wang Hao didn¡¯t care what Zhang Qianqian thought. He reached out to take the box of condoms next to the bed that was already open. ¡­ One hour later¡­ ¡°Go next door to rest,¡± said Wang Hao as he looked at Zhang Qianqian¡¯s red body. ¡°Huh? You don¡¯t want me to sleep here with you?¡± Zhang Qianqian was a little confused and felt that she no longer knew how to predict what Wang Hao was going to do at all. ¡°I¡¯ll call you when I need to,¡± said Wang Hao with an icy expression on his face. ¡°Fine then.¡± Zhang Qianqian agreed and left, holding her pajamas. ¡°Humph.¡± Wang Hao scoffed quietly after Zhang Qianqian had left the room. He wasn¡¯t going to sleep with Zhang Qianqian through the night. Anything could happen. There was no way of knowing if this woman might suddenly murder him after he fell asleep. That night, Wang Hao called Zhang Qianqian over three times. But once he was finished with her, he would tell her to return to the other room. Zhang Qianqian was really upset by this, but there was nothing she could do. Furthermore, what she really couldn¡¯t understand was why Wang Hao always made sure she lay on her stomach and never faced him. He didn¡¯t even kiss her mouth. And when she offered to perform fellatio on him, Wang Hao glared at her. ¡°This man is really strange, and he doesn¡¯t understand women at all. He¡¯s being way too domineering like this.¡± These thoughts ran through Zhang Qianqian¡¯s mind, and she started to worry about her days ahead with Wang Hao. ¡­ The next morning¡­ Wang Hao woke Zhang Qianqian up. After the two of them had eaten their fill, they went outside. ¡°Dig a hole here and bury them all,¡± said Wang Hao as he pointed to the patch of grass. ¡°Oh, goodness me¡­we went at it four times last night, and I¡¯m aching all over. Can¡¯t you show me a little compassion?¡± whined Zhang Qianqian. ¡°Enough. This will be the last thing I ask you to do. Once you get this thing done properly, I¡¯ll let you have a good rest,¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you said. Don¡¯t you dare lie to me.¡± Zhang Qianqian pouted as she said these words and looked rather adorable. But it was too bad that after Wang Hao knew that she had slept with the other men in the bungalow and had even done a threesome in the rooms before, he didn¡¯t have any good feelings toward her. Wang Hao saw that Zhang Qianqian had started to dig the hole, so he went upstairs. There were zombies outside the bungalow, so he wasn¡¯t afraid that Zhang Qianqian would run away. He found all the room keys of the bungalow, as well as three sets of car keys. After that, he started to clean up the bloodstains on the floor. Once he was done with all this, the bungalow looked nice and clean again. It was nearly noon by the time all of this was completed. Wang Hao went back downstairs to find that Zhang Qianqian had actually managed to dig a hole that was pretty deep. Wang Hao looked at it and felt that this hole was already large enough to bury all the dead bodies. He wasn¡¯t digging a grave for them. He just wanted to make sure the hole was deep enough to cover all these corpses. ¡°All right, that¡¯s enough, no need to dig anymore. Throw all these dead bodies in there and come have some food.¡± Wang Hao took out some food and mineral water. ¡°Phew! I can finally rest.¡± Zhang Qianqian put the shovel down and took a deep breath. She had done more work today than all the work she¡¯d ever done in her entire life. Zhang Qianqian pushed all the bodies on the grass into the hole, then walked toward Wang Hao. She took the mineral water from Wang Hao¡¯s hand, drank several mouthfuls, and started eating. After working so hard, her stomach was growling like crazy, and she didn¡¯t care about maintaining her demure image anymore. She just started gobbling everything down. ¡°Are you finished eating?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Zhang Qianqian nodded obediently. ¡°Since you¡¯re finished eating, you can go and have a good rest,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhang Qianqian nodded again. But she hadn¡¯t noticed that Wang Hao had already pulled out a black pistol. BANG! A shot was fired, and Zhang Qianqian slipped and fell into the hole she had dug earlier with a confused look in her eyes. Until the moment she died, she had had no idea that she had been working so hard to dig her own grave all morning, and Wang Hao had been using her all this time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m really unable to trust you.¡± Even though Wang Hao had killed Zhang Qianqian, he still felt rather uncomfortable inside. Killing another human was not something that made him happy. He wasn¡¯t a really cruel sort of person, and that¡¯s why he decided to use the gun to kill Zhang Qianqian. If he hadn¡¯t wanted her to die so quickly, he could have used a knife to kill her instead. ¡°Zombie Form!¡± Wang Hao gave a shout, and he instantly transformed into a zombie. His strength and speed increased tremendously in this state, so he picked up the shovel and soon buried all the corpses inside the hole properly. He pushed the excess soil out of the gate and found some grass to cover the surface of the courtyard. ¡°Great. Everything looks exactly like it used to. Li Mengyao won¡¯t be able to tell that there is anything wrong.¡± Wang Hao nodded satisfactorily at everything before him. After that, he picked up his bag along with his katana and guns, left the bungalow, and walked back down the mountain. After he returned to the school, Wang Hao wasn¡¯t in a hurry to return to the female dormitory. Instead, he stopped outside the male dormitory gates. ¡°Xu Xin should be really hungry by now. She will definitely do anything I say,¡± thought Wang Hao, while the image of how Xu Xin had previously looked at him with disdain appeared in his mind. Chapter 28 Wang Hao walked into the male dormitory with his katana. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Zombies were wandering everywhere throughout all the corridors. Wang Hao pushed the zombies aside and went upstairs. With so many zombies around, even if Xu Xin wanted to escape, she wouldn¡¯t have a chance. If she had the guts to jump down from a balcony like Li Dong had, then perhaps she could escape. But Wang Hao was very sure that Xu Xin didn¡¯t have that sort of guts. He arrived on the second floor and started slashing away at the zombies with his katana. He needed to create some sort of commotion so that Xu Xin could hear it. There were a lot less zombies on the second floor than on the first floor, only a few dozen of them. It took Wang Hao quite a while, but he finally cleared the place of zombies. After that, he opened the doors of a few rooms, dragged tables out of the rooms, and blocked off the entrance of the staircase. That way, the zombies would be stuck outside without being able to enter the second floor corridor. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombies just continued growling away, but didn¡¯t push aside the tables. They seldom became violent or crazy when they didn¡¯t detect the smell of humans. ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wang Hao exhaled deeply. He had used a lot of energy to kill the zombies, and he was very tired now. His human body was still too weak, and he was only really strong when he transformed into a zombie. But Wang Hao also felt that he seemed just a little bit stronger than he had been some days ago. As he thought about this, Wang Hao decided to have a look at his own attributes. Name: Wang Hao Form: Human Form (Can transform to Zombie Form) Level: Level 2 (8,650/10,000) Defense: 50 Attack: 50 Speed: 60 (The average human has 100 points per attribute.) Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. Zombie Bomb. A controllable Zombie will appear after use. Effect lasts for ten minutes. Increase in level can increase the duration of the effect. ¡°Not bad. My human attributes have gone up.¡± Wang Hao was rather satisfied. The increase wasn¡¯t much, but at least it meant that his workouts had started to be effective. If he continued working out, he would eventually reach the same standard as an average human. But Wang Hao was a little disappointed that the human attributes didn¡¯t increase or change as his zombie levels went up. He had to rely on his own efforts in working out. But this didn¡¯t affect him very much. No matter what dangers he ran into, he just needed to transform himself into a zombie to settle them. With that in mind, Wang Hao headed toward the room where Xu Xin was staying. ¡­ Inside the room¡­ Xu Xin stood behind the door with a haggard face as she looked out into the corridor through the small glass panel. She had initially been lying on the bed, but when she heard the sound of someone hacking at the zombies, she¡¯d forced herself to get out of bed. Ever since the zombies had taken over the male dormitory, she hadn¡¯t dared to walk out of this room at all. Zombies were everywhere out there, so leaving the room was as good as sending herself to her death. There wasn¡¯t a lot of food in the room to begin with. She¡¯d only had enough for half a day, and then she¡¯d run out. She had gone hungry for two whole days already. Xu Xin finally saw someone walk down the corridor toward her room. ¡°Wang Hao? Why is it him?¡± Xu Xin was in shock. She¡¯d thought that the one who was hacking the zombies to death would be Li Dong or some other strong, handsome guy. But she was wrong. The person who¡¯d done this had actually turned out to be Wang Hao. ¡°Wasn¡¯t he chased out of the male dormitory that day, and shouldn¡¯t he have been eaten by zombies by now? How did he make it back alive?¡± Xu Xin had many questions. She¡¯d had a big part to play in the reason why Wang Hao had been kicked out of the male dormitory. If she begged him to save her now, would he agree to it? ¡°Forget it¡­I¡¯m going to die from hunger soon, so I¡¯m sure he won¡¯t just leave me in the lurch. We were classmates after all.¡± With this thought in mind, Xu Xin opened her door. ¡­¡­ Creaaak¡­ Wang Hao was about to start shouting for her when he saw a girl wearing black pajamas standing in front of him after she¡¯d opened her door. There was a tinge of awkwardness in the girl¡¯s eyes. She looked shocked. She called out to him, ¡°Wang Hao, why are you back? There are zombies everywhere outside, so hurry up and come in!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all right, I¡¯ve already killed off all the zombies.¡± Wang Hao was shocked at how haggard Xu Xin looked and realized that the last two days must have been tough for her. There was a strange feeling of satisfaction in his heart. ¡°Oh?¡± Xu Xin looked out and realized that all the zombies on the second floor were indeed gone. There were plenty of dead zombies all over the floor. ¡°You¡­you¡¯ve killed so many zombies?¡± A look of utter disbelief appeared on Xu Xin¡¯s face. She¡¯d never imagined that Wang Hao was capable of doing this, She immediately started regretting her attitude toward Wang Hao before this. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal.¡± Wang Hao wasn¡¯t bothered at all. After that, he pretended to be very puzzled and asked her, ¡°What¡¯s happened here over the past few days? Why are there zombies all over the corridor now? I even spotted Li Dong¡¯s corpse just now.¡± ¡°What? Li Dong is dead?¡± Xu Xin got a shock when she heard this and couldn¡¯t help but feel some disappointment. She shook her head and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know either. A lot of zombies suddenly rushed in the other day, but luckily I had kept my room door closed, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t still be alive now.¡± Without anyone strong enough to rely on, Xu Xin¡¯s voice didn¡¯t sound as arrogant as it used to. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ll be honest with you. I actually came back to take revenge. But it¡¯s a pity that Li Dong and the other guys are already dead, so I can¡¯t take revenge anymore,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? You¡¯re here to take revenge?¡± Xu Xin¡¯s face instantly turned as white as a sheet, and her eyes were filled with a look of horror. She asked with some uneasiness, ¡°Then are you here to kill me too?¡± ¡°Relax, you¡¯re a girl, and I don¡¯t kill women. Besides, we were classmates once, and you¡¯re the only one left now. Why would I kill you?¡± said Wang Hao with a smile. Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard these words and squeezed out a smile. ¡°You¡¯re right. After the Apocalypse happened, I suppose almost everyone out there is already dead. Since you¡¯ve dared to take the risk of coming back here by yourself, I¡¯m sure you haven¡¯t found a partner yet, right? Let¡¯s stay together from now on.¡± With that, she reached out for Wang Hao¡¯s arm and pulled him into her room. Perhaps she was still afraid of the zombies outside. She quickly shut her door again. Xu Xin still felt awkward around Wang Hao, and, after she¡¯d shut the door, she didn¡¯t know what else to say. In the end, Wang Hao broke the silence. ¡°You don¡¯t look too good. Have you been hungry for a long time?¡± ¡°Uh-huh. I¡¯ve already gone hungry for two days, and I haven¡¯t had a single drop of water. I¡¯m going to faint soon,¡± said Xu Xin, as she started to cry a little sadly. ¡°Oh, dear¡­¡± Wang Hao felt like all this was rather weird. Xu Xin was a completely different person from the one she had been just a few days ago. She now spoke very gently and was no longer that bratty girl she used to be. Instead, she looked rather lovable now. But Wang Hao wasn¡¯t going to be fooled by what she looked like now. He wasn¡¯t going to forget how she had falsely accused him of peeping at her in the toilet and made Li Dong chase him out of the dormitory. If his Zombie King Evolution System had not been activated after that, he would have become zombie food long ago and wouldn¡¯t have been able to appear here now. ¡°Xu Xin, no matter how cute and lovable you look now, I¡¯m not going to let you off the hook. I¡¯m going to play with you until I¡¯m tired of you, and, once I¡¯m done teasing and mocking you, I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± Those were Wang Hao¡¯s thoughts, but he put a sympathetic look on his face as he put his backpack down. He said to her, ¡°You must be so hungry. I happen to have some food here, so help yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you, Wang Hao.¡± Xu Xin was so moved by this. She reached out to take the food that Wang Hao passed to her, ripped the packaging without caring about what she looked like, and gobbled it all down. Chapter 29 Wang Hao watched how Xu Xin was ravenously gobbling down everything he¡¯d given her, and a smile surfaced in his eyes. He was certain that this little bit of food was definitely not enough for Xu Xin. And just as he¡¯d expected, once Xu Xin had finished the biscuits and the one sausage he¡¯d given her, she looked at Wang Hao again pleadingly. This little bit of food hadn¡¯t been enough to fill her stomach, and because it had been so delicious, she felt even hungrier now. ¡°I¡¯m still hungry¡­ Do you have any more food?¡± asked Xu Xin tentatively. ¡°Of course I¡¯ve got more food. I have more sausages, some canned pork, mineral water¡­lots of things,¡± said Wang Hao smugly. ¡°Oh, please, can you give some to me. I¡¯m so hungry. I haven¡¯t eaten for the past two days.¡± Xu Xin stretched her hands out, supplicating him. ¡°I can give you more food, but you¡¯ve got to give me a suitable reason. Why should I give this food to you instead of keeping it for myself?¡± Wang Hao had no intention of giving all his food to her for nothing. Food was so valuable now. He couldn¡¯t possibly waste it like this. ¡°You¡­what are you trying to say? I don¡¯t understand?¡± Xu Xin was puzzled. ¡°You were the prettiest girl in our class. What do you mean you don¡¯t understand?¡± Wang Hao turned toward Xu Xin¡¯s long, fair, and slender legs and looked her up and down. ¡°You¡­don¡¯t tell me you¡­want to do that?¡± A look of surprise appeared on Xu Xin¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re a pretty smart girl. So? Are you willing?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Well, that¡­¡± Xu Xin looked at Wang Hao and seemed to hesitate. Wang Hao had always been a bum who she¡¯d despised. Now he was actually going to use food to force her to do something she didn¡¯t want to do. She found it really hard to accept. But she was really terribly hungry. If she didn¡¯t accede to his demands, then what was she going to do? Was she going to continue going hungry? She couldn¡¯t continue without food anymore. She would die from starvation that way. ¡°I¡¯ll just agree to be your girlfriend? Okay?¡± Xu Xin tried a different approach after hesitating for a while. ¡°D*mn you¡­¡± Wang Hao immediately became extremely displeased. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking? You¡¯re still acting like I¡¯m a bum. When Li Dong asked you to be his girlfriend, you jumped at the chance to sleep with him. And now, I¡¯m actually offering you food, and you¡¯re still hesitating. What do you take me for?¡± The more Wang Hao thought about it, the nastier his expression became. He scoffed coldly and snarled, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to be my girlfriend. If you¡¯re not willing to have sex with me, then just say so, and I¡¯ll leave right now.¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t be bothered wasting any more of his time with Xu Xin. He turned around and was about to leave the room. He felt that Xu Xin was still trying to negotiate with him because she wasn¡¯t hungry enough yet. He was going to let her starve for another two days. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­¡± Xu Xin realized that Wang Hao was about to leave and started getting anxious. She was nearly crying as she quickly grabbed hold of Wang Hao¡¯s hand. ¡°What is it? You¡¯re willing to accept me now?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m willing to.¡± Xu Xin nodded her head miserably. ¡°All right then. You can have these.¡± Wang Hao opened his backpack and took out sausages, canned pork, and a meal-replacement drink. He placed everything on the table. Xu Xin immediately grabbed the food and started eating. Wang Hao had also pulled out a box of condoms and placed it on the table. Then he waited patiently. Since Xu Xin had agreed, she couldn¡¯t go back on her word. ¡­ ¡°Can we start now?¡± asked Wang Hao when he saw that Xu Xin was finished eating. ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Xin blushed a little as she nodded. Wang Hao grabbed hold of Xu Xin¡¯s clothes and pulled them off her. Xu Xin just closed her eyes. ¡­ Half an hour later¡­ ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you crying?¡± Wang Hao could see that Xu Xin had not stopped crying, and he was cursing to himself. He thought that Xu Xin was sobbing so miserably because she really didn¡¯t want to accept his offer. But, to his surprise, Xu Xin just wiped her tears away and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why it hurts so much. It didn¡¯t hurt with Li Dong. I¡¯m even bleeding¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Wang Hao looked down at himself, and a strange expression spread across his face. Then a really pleased and proud feeling filled his heart. ¡°F*cking Li Dong. He looked like he was strong and impressive, but he turned out to be small and weak. Ha ha ha!¡± Wang Hao was filled with such glee that all the unhappiness he¡¯d experienced when he had been bullied by Li Dong in the past disappeared completely. His self-esteem used to be quite low around Li Dong, but now he was filled with nothing but self-confidence. After this, the way Wang Hao looked at Xu Xin changed completely. He was thinking to himself, ¡°Li Dong, didn¡¯t you say I was a worthless piece of trash? Now I finally realize that you were the real piece of trash.¡± When Wang Hao thought about how Li Dong hadn¡¯t actually gotten Xu Xin, but he had, he felt really good inside. ¡°Li Dong, Li Dong, in what way were you better than me? In terms of capabilities, I¡¯m more powerful than you are. In terms of women, I found one who¡¯s prettier than the one you found, and the one you found turned out to be really useless. But it all turned out great for me. Ha ha ha.¡± The more Wang Hao thought about all this, the happier he felt. He looked at Xu Xin again. Xu Xin noticed Wang Hao looking at her, and she started to get a little nervous. She asked him softly, ¡°What do you want? Don¡¯t tell me¡­I¡¯m still really hurting.¡± ¡°Oh, no, no¡­don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not a sadist. I just feel so bad for Li Dong,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Xu Xin was puzzled. ¡°All right now, you can go ahead and have a good rest. This food should be enough to last you two days,¡± said Wang Hao as he started getting dressed. ¡°What do you mean? Are you leaving already?¡± Xu Xin¡¯s eyes got wide. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going to look for more food,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Then¡­then how long will you be away?¡± asked Xu Xin. ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. I might leave for half a day or an even longer period of time. Depends on my luck,¡± replied Wang Hao flippantly. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Xu Xin had no idea what Wang Hao experienced out there, so she just believed whatever he said. ¡°Then¡­be careful out there.¡± Xu Xin was worried because if something happened to Wang Hao, she was going to starve again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Wang Hao then slung his backpack over his back and opened the door to leave. He¡¯d wanted to go for another round, but he knew he¡¯d have to wait for quite a while until she was feeling better, and he didn¡¯t want to wait. If he¡¯d forced himself on her, he wouldn¡¯t have had to wait. But he wanted to slowly play with Xu Xin, so he didn¡¯t do that. Besides, Li Mengyao was the school belle, and her long, slender legs and curvaceous figure made her much prettier than Xu Xin. And since the school belle was waiting for him in another room, there was no reason why he should continue to stay here anymore. Xu Xin waited for Wang Hao to leave before removing her pajamas. ¡°Ouch¡­¡± She slowly walked toward the bathroom. And suddenly a question popped up in Xu Xin¡¯s mind. ¡°Why is this Wang Hao so different from Li Dong? I didn¡¯t feel anything with Li Dong, but it hurts so much with Wang Hao. How strange.¡± Chapter 30 When Wang Hao returned to the female dormitory, Li Mengyao was leaning out on the balcony looking downstairs in a kind of daze. ¡°Wifey, what are you looking at?¡± Wang Hao asked a little curiously as he closed the door behind him. ¡°I was waiting for you.¡± Li Mengyao was so happy to see that it was Wang Hao. She immediately ran over to him. After Wang Hao had left the other night, she had had a tough few days. At night, the zombies outside had been growling, and she had become very fearful and simply couldn¡¯t sleep. Then when she had finally managed to make it to daybreak, she would start worrying about Wang Hao¡¯s safety and become unable to sleep again. And now, Wang Hao had finally returned. Li Mengyao came bounding over and noticed that there was blood on him. She couldn¡¯t help but ask worriedly, ¡°Are you hurt anywhere? Why is there blood on you?¡± ¡°I got bitten by a zombie,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°What? How did that happen?¡± Li Mengyao felt as if her entire world had just collapsed. She was completely stunned. Wang Hao was the only person she could rely on now. If he had been bitten by a zombie, then she could forget about surviving too. ¡°Ha, ha, ha! Just kidding! This is all zombie blood, not mine. I won¡¯t get hurt. You can count on me.¡± Wang Hao looked at Li Mengyao¡¯s expression and couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing. ¡°What? You were just kidding? Argh! How could you¡­¡± Li Mengyao clenched her tiny fists and wanted to bash Wang Hao. ¡°Ho, ho,ho, I¡¯m your husband, you know¡­ If you beat me to death, then you¡¯ll become a widow.¡± Wang Hao grabbed hold of Li Mengyao¡¯s slender wrists and pushed her against the wall. ¡°What¡­what are you going to do?¡± Li Mengyao couldn¡¯t struggle free of his grip, and she started to become uneasy. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I last saw you, so I want to do that sort of thing with you again.¡± Wang Hao looked straight into Li Mengyao¡¯s eyes as he took in the fragrance of her body. He slowly approached her lips. ¡°Oh, no, no no, not today. Please¡­let me go¡­¡± Li Mengyao turned her face away and didn¡¯t let Wang Hao kiss her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± asked Wang Hao confusedly. ¡°I¡­my thing¡­came today,¡± said Li Mengyao, a little embarrassed as her face reddened. ¡°What thing? Just say it.¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t understand what she was talking about. ¡°Oh, goodness! You know nothing about girls. It¡¯s that¡­that thing¡­¡± said Li Mengyao awkwardly as she used a hand to clutch at her lower abdomen. ¡°Oh, I know what you¡¯re talking about. Your period, right?¡± Wang Hao was suddenly enlightened. ¡°Since you know what it is, aren¡¯t you going to let go of me?¡± Li Mengyao scoffed weakly and turned her head away. ¡°Heh, heh, heh¡­¡± Wang Hao let go of Li Mengyao and helped her to sit down on the bed. He knew that girls couldn¡¯t engage in that sort of activity when they were on their period. On top of that, they were usually in a poor mood, and they would feel a lot of physical discomfort. ¡°You sit here and rest for a while. I¡¯ll go out and find some brown sugar, and I¡¯ll also see if I can get some warm water. I¡¯ve heard that when girls get their periods, they¡¯ll feel better if they drink warm water with brown sugar in it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m surprised that you¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± Li Mengyao was shocked to hear Wang Hao actually say something like that. Her impression of men was that they were all callous and wouldn¡¯t care about this aspect of women at all. ¡°Ha, ha, ha, you¡¯re my wife, so if I don¡¯t take care of you, who will?¡± After that, Wang Hao got ready to leave. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be in such a hurry to leave. You just came back. Why don¡¯t you sit here with me for a while first?¡± said Li Mengyao. ¡°All right then.¡± Wang Hao sat down next to Li Mengyao and put an arm around her slim waist. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go looking for a bungalow? What¡¯s happened with that?¡± asked Li Mengyao. ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­this lousy memory of mine. I came back to tell you about that, but I actually forgot.¡± Wang Hao stood up and pointed. He said, ¡°I found a bungalow, and it¡¯s in that direction on a little mountain just outside the city area. It¡¯s a three-story bungalow with a fence around it. The inside is super-luxurious. It has a study, a gaming room, a karaoke room, a gym, and more. It¡¯s got everything.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Li Mengyao was very happy to hear this. She had been hiding inside this tiny room all this time, and she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. If Wang Hao hadn¡¯t appeared, she didn¡¯t know if she would have been able to remain in this room for such a long time. So now that Wang Hao had actually found a bungalow that was suitable for them to live in, she was naturally overjoyed. So when are we going to move?¡± asked Li Mengyao. ¡°You¡¯re not feeling well today, and we¡¯ve also missed the best time of day to travel. We¡¯ll have to wait until noontime tomorrow,¡± said Wang Hao. It was already past 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. As the hours of the day passed, the number of zombies outside gradually increased. If he decided to bring Li Mengyao to the bungalow at this hour, it would be as good as delivering food to the zombies. There were the least amount of zombies at noontime when the sun was high and bright in the sky. That was the only time it was all right to go outside. ¡°Okay then.¡± Li Mengyao knew that it wouldn¡¯t be easy to get to the bungalow, so she didn¡¯t question his judgment. ¡°Oh, by the way, when you go out later, can you also buy me a pack of sanitary pads?¡± asked Li Mengyao, blushing. Wang Hao didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he put on a stern expression and said, ¡°Call me hubby.¡± Li Mengyao hesitated a moment before calling out, ¡°Hubby.¡± ¡°That¡¯s perfect. I¡¯m your hubby and you¡¯re my wifey, so you don¡¯t have to be so formal around me. Just tell me what you want, and I¡¯ll definitely bring it back for you.¡± Wang Hao took Li Mengyao¡¯s fair, soft hands in his as he spoke. ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Li Mengyao felt rather moved by this. She had despised Wang Hao initially, but now she realized that she was more and more unable to leave Wang Hao¡¯s side. ¡°All right now, you¡¯re going to be all alone, so be careful. I¡¯m going out now.¡± With that, Wang Hao got up, opened the room door, and walked out. Li Mengyao watched as Wang Hao walked out and pouted. She said with some amusement in her voice, ¡°You¡¯re the one who needs to be careful. I¡¯m going to stay in the room. What danger could I possibly be in?¡± ¡­ Wang Hao reached the main street and headed for a convenience store. Once he got in, he quickly found a few packs of the most expensive sanitary pads on the market. After that, he found a box of high-quality brown sugar, as well as some food items that were good for replenishing energy. He stuffed everything into his bag. But just as Wang Hao was stuffing all the food in his bag, he suddenly heard the sound of strange footsteps approaching the convenience store. Wang Hao was used to hearing the footsteps of zombies. He knew that zombies tended to stumble along as they walked, so their footsteps were uneven and were unable to keep up a consistent speed. But the footsteps he could hear right now were clearly different from those of a zombie. ¡°Those are humans. What¡¯s going on? Are there humans who dare to just walk about like this in the daytime?¡± Wang Hao was shocked, but he bent down and quickly hid himself among the shelves of sundries. In no time, two men walked into the convenience store. They were wearing helmets, so Wang Hao couldn¡¯t see what they looked like. But both men were wearing jackets covered in blood, and he could smell the stench of blood. The zombies wandering about outside hadn¡¯t seemed interested in the smell on these two men at all, and actually hadn¡¯t tried to attack them. Chapter 31 ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why didn¡¯t the zombies attack them? Is it because there¡¯s blood on their clothes?¡± Wang Hao hid behind the shelves. He was really shocked as he watched these two men walk into the convenience store completely unscathed. The biggest difference Wang Hao had from ordinary people was the ability to remain unbitten by zombies. But now it seemed as if other people had this ability as well. Even though this probably had something to do with the clothes they were wearing, it still meant that his advantage in this Apocalypse was not as great as he¡¯d thought it was. Wang Hao left them alone. He¡¯d really wanted to interrogate them on why they weren¡¯t being bitten by zombies, but he had no idea about whether these two men had any other team members with them. After the two men put some food into their bags, they left in a hurry. Wang Hao waited for several seconds before following them. Once he left the convenience store, Wang Hao transformed himself into a zombie. He walked among the rest of the zombies and kept a distance of about ten yards from the two men. In no time, Wang Hao watched the two men turn a corner and walk into a deserted alley. There weren¡¯t many zombies in this little alley, so Wang Hao didn¡¯t dare to get too close to them. Wang Hao waited some time until the two of them had moved farther away before finally entering the alley. But after he¡¯d entered the alley, Wang Hao realized that the two men had disappeared. ¡°Huh? Where did they go?¡± Wang Hao was completely puzzled, and he started looking at the area around him. He soon discovered that there was a police station not too far from him. The police station was surrounded by a metal fence, and there were a few police cars parked inside the fence as well. ¡°Did they go into the police station?¡± Wang Hao guessed that that was probably the case because there was nothing else in the vicinity suitable for hiding from zombies besides this police station. ¡°This is definitely the place. Those people came out from inside the police station.¡± Wang Hao observed that there were a lot of zombie corpses in front of the police station entrance, which meant that the zombies at the gates to the police station had clearly caused problems for the people inside. He went close to the main gates and found that there was a chain around the gates as well as a brand-new lock. Wang Hao left the main gates and followed the metal fence so he could look closer at the buildings inside the compound. Then he heard some voices coming out of the building. When Wang Hao was in Zombie Form, his hearing was significantly sharper, but he was still unable to hear exactly what the people were saying. But he had already amassed enough information. If there were people inside the police station, then these people definitely had guns. People with guns were too dangerous for Wang Hao. He had to find a way to protect himself from these people, and the best way was to kill all of them. Since Wang Hao already knew where this place was, he left for the moment. He was going to come back again at night to see if there was any chance to deal with these people. At the same time, since he had some free time, he decided to kill another 100 zombies so that his zombie level would hit Level 3. ¡­ Leaving the police station, Wang Hao noticed a pink scooter that had fallen on the side of the road. There was a dead body next to the scooter that had been bitten so badly that it didn¡¯t really look like a human anymore, and there were a lot of things scattered all over the ground. It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine what the owner of this scooter must have gone through before dying. Wang Hao found the keys to the scooter on the ground. He tested the scooter and found that it was in good working condition. He rode the scooter to a restaurant, went in and saw that the gas stove was still working, and he boiled some water. He wanted to make some warm brown sugar water to help Li Mengyao, who was suffering from her period. Wang Hao made a full bottle of the drink before returning to the female dormitory. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back.¡± Li Mengyao looked at the bottle of brown sugar water in Wang Hao¡¯s hand and was both worried and filled with admiration for Wang Hao. She simply couldn¡¯t imagine how Wang Hao had managed to do all these things that most ordinary people couldn¡¯t do because there were so many zombies out there. So Li Mengyao felt very touched by his actions. She felt that Wang Hao had been willing to risk his life outside just because he wanted to get brown sugar water for her. ¡°I¡¯ve boiled some brown sugar water for you, so drink up.¡± Wang Hao walked over to Li Mengyao and passed her the bottle of brown sugar water. ¡°Hubby, thank you,¡± said Li Mengyao. ¡°Don¡¯t be so formal with me. When you¡¯re in good shape, I¡¯ll be in a good mood too.¡± Wang Hao reached a hand out to pinch Li Mengyao¡¯s face gently as he spoke softly to her. ¡°I know.¡± Li Mengyao nodded, opened the bottle, and slowly drank the contents. Her heart felt warm inside when she held the warm cup in her hand. She felt that meeting Wang Hao had been the luckiest thing that had happened to her in the Apocalypse. ¡­ Wang Hao didn¡¯t spend too much time with her and soon found an excuse to leave. It was already nearly 6:00 p.m., and it would be nighttime soon. Wang Hao went downstairs and headed for the classrooms. There were a few dozen zombies in each classroom. Wang Hao kicked open the door of one of the classroom and rushed in with his katana. In an instant, the heads of everyone in the classroom went rolling, and there was blood everywhere. DING! After half an hour, a mechanical sound rang out in his mind. ¡°Congratulations on reaching Level 3. Your Defense, Attack, and Speed levels have increased. Also, you now have the chance to draw an additional Talent. Would you like to draw one now?¡± ¡°Draw one now,¡± said Wang Hao as he was filled with anticipation. DING! ¡°Congratulations on drawing the Talent of Zombie Commander.¡± ¡°Zombie Commander? How do I use that?¡± asked Wang Hao puzzledly. ¡°Zombie Commander: once Talent is activated, you can command all zombies within a radius of 50 yards and control their movements.¡± ¡°My goodness, that¡¯s incredible! I can control all the zombies within a 50-yard radius? That¡¯s completely crazy!¡± Wang Hao was so pleased with this Talent that he had drawn. Once he activated this Talent, it was the same as having a little army of his own. And this army would be made up of zombies that were unafraid of dying and were way more powerful than ordinary humans. If he ran into a group of ordinary humans, he would be able to just thrash them easily. He was practically invincible now. When Wang Hao thought about these things, he got really excited. After that, he looked at the information in his mind again to find that the information had changed greatly. Name: Wang Hao Form: Zombie Form (Can transform to Human Form) Level: Level 3 (0/100,000) Defense: 630 Attack: 680 Speed: 380 Talent: Bloody Massacre, Kill Humans, or Zombie Evolution. Each increase in level will unlock a new talent. Zombie Bomb. A controllable Zombie will appear after use. Effect lasts for ten minutes. Increase in level can increase the duration of the effect. Zombie Commander. Once Talent is activated, you can command all zombies within a radius of 50 yards and control their movements. After Wang Hao looked at the increase in his attributes, he became very excited. The average human only had 100 points per attribute, but his attributes were now six times the average human. This made him really frightening now. It wasn¡¯t just a matter of the difference between one person and six people, but the difference between heaven and earth. Given his current abilities, it would be extremely simple for him to kill an ordinary person in a single second. Chapter 32 ¡°Let me test out this new Talent I have.¡± Wang Hao made this decision. Just as he was wondering how this Talent became activated, an incredible scene appeared before his eyes. He suddenly felt as if his scope of vision was rising into the sky, and he was looking at the world below. It felt like when he played games and had a bird¡¯s-eye view of the area around him. Wang Hao¡¯s vision floated all the way to the top of the classroom block before stopping. ¡°This Talent is really amazing.¡± Wang Hao realized that he hadn¡¯t just gotten the overview straight up, but he could also move around. In other words, he could see anything within a 50-yard radius of wherever he was, with himself as the center. But this view had one problem. Anything beyond the 50-yard radius was nothing but a patch of white. He couldn¡¯t see anything at all beyond the 50 yards. It felt as if he was inside a round tent with a 50-yard radius. This made Wang Hao think of the confined-map concept within the game, PlayerUnknown¡¯s Battleground. This was pretty interesting. Once he had confirmed how far his field of vision would go, he started to attempt to shift his view. HUU HUU HUU! Wang Hao¡¯s line of vision went through the roof of the block and entered one of the classrooms. He continued to shift his line of vision downward until he had gone through the roofs of three classrooms to arrive at the first floor. After that, he started moving horizontally, and the classrooms appeared within his line of vision, one after the other. In no time, Wang Hao had fully grasped how to control his line of vision. The next thing he wanted to try was controlling the zombies inside these classrooms. Commanding the zombies was even easier than controlling his line of vision. The moment he had a thought in his mind, these zombies would follow Wang Hao¡¯s will accordingly. ¡°All of you, ram yourselves against the wall.¡± Wang Hao gave the command, and one zombie immediately smashed itself into the wall without hesitation. BAM! The zombie slammed itself into the wall, and its brains were smashed on the spot. Wang Hao was so excited. The zombies were really listening to his commands unconditionally. Also, he discovered that the zombies he killed while he remained in this mode would also add to his XP. Wang Hao became even more excited after finding that out. Initially, he¡¯d thought that since he had to kill more and more zombies as the levels went up, it would be more difficult to go up in level. But now, he was going to be able to increase in level even more easily than before. Once Wang Hao figured this out, he got all the zombies inside one of the classrooms to ram themselves against the wall. BAM! BAM! As the zombies rammed themselves against the wall one after another, Wang Hao could clearly see his XP bar filling up rapidly. Getting to Level 4 required 100,000 XP, so he needed to kill off around 10,000 zombies in order to level up. But now, he had used less than ten minutes to kill off more than 2,000 zombies and had been awarded with 20,000 XP just like that. ¡°Ho, ho, ho¡­my XP is growing way too quickly. At this rate, I¡¯ll reach Level 4 in a matter of days.¡± Wang Hao deactivated his commander mode and walked out of the classroom block. There had been more than 2,000 zombies on this block, and he had already killed all of them. Staying here was a waste of his time. Wang Hao decided to head for a different place and continue his zombie massacre. Besides the school itself, the small residential estates near the school had a number of zombies as well. But just as Wang Hao was preparing to leave the school, he suddenly thought of Xu Xin. He went to the ground floor of the male dormitory and prepared himself to activate his commander mode again to peek at what Xu Xin was doing right now. But this time, this Talent refused to activate, and Wang Hao couldn¡¯t figure out why. ¡°Zombie Commander can only be activated again after one hour of rest. You may use it again after waiting for one hour.¡± The system¡¯s voice spoke mechanically in his head. ¡°Cr*p, so that¡¯s the catch?¡± Wang Hao had thought that he could use this ability whenever he liked. It didn¡¯t occur to him that there might be a cooldown time. But it made sense if you really thought about it. If he could use this for as long as he liked, then he would really be invincible. ¡°Looks like I can¡¯t just use this ability as and when I like. If I had to wait for the cooldown period to pass some time when I really needed to use this ability urgently, it would be terrible.¡± Wang Hao had to accept the fact that this Talent required a cooldown time. He realized that he couldn¡¯t simply activate this ability if it wasn¡¯t necessary. And since this ability needed another hour before it could be activated again, then he wasn¡¯t in such a hurry to leave the school anymore. Wang Hao walked into the male dormitory and knocked on Xu Xin¡¯s door. Xu Xin was lying on the bed resting. But when she heard the knocking on the door, she immediately sat up. ¡°Wang Hao¡­¡± Xu Xin could see that the person standing outside was Wang Hao through the glass panel of the door. A surprised look spread across her face, and she quickly ran over to open the door for him despite her pain. Creeeeaak¡­ She opened the door and pulled Wang Hao right in. Then she said rather excitedly, ¡°You¡¯re so amazing! There are so many zombies out there, but you¡¯ve returned completely unscathed. I really don¡¯t know how you manage to do it.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve done it based on my own effort,¡± said Wang Hao very casually. He then looked at Xu Xin¡¯s legs and seemed rather puzzled. ¡°Why are you having so much trouble walking? Are you so hungry that you can¡¯t walk anymore?¡± ¡°Tsk, tsk, it¡¯s all your fault I¡¯m still in pain,¡± grumbled Xu Xin unhappily. ¡°Oh¡­so that¡¯s why. But aren¡¯t you overreacting a little?¡± Wang Hao remembered that Li Mengyao¡¯s reaction hadn¡¯t been as severe as Xu Xin¡¯s. She also had had a little trouble walking after the first time, but it wasn¡¯t as bad as Xu Xin. ¡°What are you talking about? I just turned 19, I¡¯m not some old woman,¡± said Xu Xin as she made a face. ¡°That¡¯s also true.¡± Wang Hao realized that even though that was also Li Mengyao¡¯s first time, she was older and her body was more physically developed compared to Xu Xin¡¯s, and that was why she could take it better than Xu Xin. But when Wang Hao thought about how young Xu Xin was, he suddenly felt a strange fire light up within him. So Wang Hao reached out and grabbed hold of Xu Xin¡¯s arm. He said in a very apologetic manner, ¡°I was too rough earlier today and made you suffer, so let me do it gently this time¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Xin looked in shock at Wang Hao. ¡°Won¡¯t you at least let me rest for a few days first?¡± ¡°Why do you need to rest? Trust me!¡± Wang Hao dragged Xu Xin back onto the bed. He could be nice and gentle to Li Mengyao, but he was going to be the opposite to Xu Xin. The harm that this woman had caused him before had been too great, so he wasn¡¯t going to be kind or gentle to her at all. ¡°Wang Hao, I¡¯m begging you¡­don¡¯t do it¡­let me rest for a few days first. Please. I¡¯m begging you¡­¡± Xu Xin started to plead desperately as she began to panic. But Wang Hao refused to listen to her pleas at all and pushed her violently back onto the bed. Chapter 33 Half an hour later¡­ ¡°Boo-hoo¡­you lied to me¡­boo-hoo¡­¡± Xu Xin wrapped herself in the blanket and curled up at one end of the bed, crying and crying. Her eyes were red and swollen from all her tears. ¡°What did I lie to you about? Didn¡¯t you feel anything else besides pain?¡± Wang Hao spoke very flippantly as he sat on the side of the bed and smoked a cigarette. He was feeling super-pleased inside. The joy he felt when he saw Xu Xin crying her eyes out from the pain was too difficult to describe in words. It was Xu Xin¡¯s own fault for treating him so poorly before and basically pushing him out to his death. Whatever he was doing now was nothing compared to that, and this was only the beginning of his revenge on Xu Xin. But when Xu Xin heard Wang Hao¡¯s question, she replied a little puzzledly, ¡°This time was indeed different.¡± ¡°So what else did you feel?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°It¡¯s a bit hard to say.¡± Xu Xin frowned and said, ¡°In any case¡­I think¡­forget it¡­¡± ¡°Ha, ha, ha! Looks like before this, Li Dong didn¡¯t manage to¡­¡± said Wang Hao as he laughed. ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Xu Xin had no idea what he was talking about. ¡°You¡¯re such a na?ve little girl. You don¡¯t seem to know anything.¡± Wang Hao used to think that a wicked, vicious girl like Xu Xin would know about all these things, but he was surprised to find out that she didn¡¯t know anything about sex. Xu Xin didn¡¯t have any idea what Wang Hao was talking about, and though she was curious, she wasn¡¯t looking forward to the answer. She was more concerned about whether she was going to be able to keep living. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you say you were going to look for food? Did you run into some danger? Why did you come back empty-handed?¡± asked Xu Xin. ¡°I didn¡¯t really run into anything dangerous, but there¡¯s no more food in this vicinity. I¡¯m going to have to go out a little farther to look for food.¡± After saying this, Wang Hao looked at the time and saw that nearly one hour had passed already, so he started putting his clothes on again. ¡°Are you leaving now?¡± Xu Xin¡¯s eyes got wide. She felt that since Wang Hao had just returned to the room, he ought to rest for a while more. ¡°If we don¡¯t have food, then both of us are going to die. There¡¯s no point in hesitating over this matter.¡± Wang Hao got dressed, slung his backpack over his back, picked up his katana, and walked out of the room. After the room door was shut, Xu Xin¡¯s expression immediately fell, and she started grumbling. ¡°This Wang Hao is definitely venting his anger on me. What a liar.¡± And, after saying that, her tears rolled down her cheek again as she sighed. ¡°But I don¡¯t have a choice either. I¡¯m just a girl, so what can I do about it? If I don¡¯t listen to him, then I won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± The more Xu Xin thought about it, the angrier she became. Eventually she decided that she was going to just put up with this in order to survive, then when she got a chance, she would leave Wang Hao. ¡­ After Wang Hao left the school, he headed for the main streets. He came to a convenience store, looked for food on the shelf, and started eating and drinking heartily. He purposely picked food with high energy content like sausages, chocolates, and canned beef. Xu Xin was a girl who didn¡¯t know anything at all, so it took a lot of effort and energy to have sex with her. After a short while, Wang Hao was finished eating and drinking. He packed some food items into his bag and left the convenience store. By this time, the sky had begun to darken. Wang Hao felt that it was about time, so he started heading toward the police station. He went down one street, turned into a small alley, and the police station appeared in front of him again. There were some shadows moving about in the courtyard of the police station. In order to avoid detection, Wang Hao transformed himself into a zombie, then continued to move closer to the police station. He came to the fence around the police station, found a hidden spot, and stood there. He activated his Talent with his mind and his scope of vision slowly started rising into the air. His line of sight stopped at the top of the third floor of the police station. This enabled him to look over both the front compound of the police station as well as the back. Wang Hao could see that a muscular man was in the courtyard right now, holding some tools and standing in front of a police car with its hood open. He was probably inspecting and repairing the police car. After glancing at that man for a moment, he then moved his view toward the ground. This time, Wang Hao switched his view to match what a normal human would see, and he started by going through the front door of the police station. There was a table at the entrance of the police station, and a middle-aged man with a fierce-looking face was sprawled at the table. Several empty bottles of beer and a plate of unfinished vegetables were on the table. Wang Hao guessed that this man was supposed to be on guard here. If anything unusual was happening outside the main door, he was supposed to inform the rest of the people inside. His view continued to move farther in and went into one of the rooms. The room was a mess inside and didn¡¯t look like the office it used to be anymore. There was a bed inside, and several shirtless middle-aged men were sleeping on it. ZZZZ¡­ZZZZ¡­ They were happily snoring away. These men weren¡¯t living too well. There was nothing on the tables inside the room, and the floor was littered with several empty packets of food. Wang Hao didn¡¯t see any guns anywhere. Besides a few metal bats and machetes on the floor, there were no other weapons around. Wang Hao continued to look through the next few rooms, and they seemed to be in a similar state. He started to find this very strange. These people didn¡¯t look like policemen at all. They resembled thugs instead. But since they had been able to take over the police station, why didn¡¯t any of them have guns? While he pondered this, Wang Hao¡¯s view went up the stairs and reached the second floor. ¡°Hmm?¡± Just as Wang Hao¡¯s line of sight reached the second floor, he heard a different sort of noise. Those sounds were all too familiar to him. ¡°There¡¯s actually a woman here, and they¡¯re engaging in this sort of activity. They¡¯re not living too badly after all.¡± Wang Hao applauded them as his view wandered into one of the rooms. The scene in front of him was exactly as he¡¯d expected. It was especially shameful. It was a scene containing a fat middle-aged man and a young, beautiful woman. Wang Hao looked at them for a while before he moved on again. He hadn¡¯t come here to witness this sort of thing. He was here to kill these people. Wang Hao¡¯s view moved toward the table inside that room, and he found that there was a black police pistol on it. A clip with a few loose bullets was placed next to it. ¡°These people do have guns after all.¡± Even though Wang Hao had guns too, his heart still felt a little shock upon seeing this police pistol. Chapter 34 Wang Hao was shocked that these people, who clearly didn¡¯t look like policemen, had pistols and had even taken over the police station. Logically, since the police had guns, then even if the Apocalypse hit, they should have been able to live on for some time since they had weapons and the police station to hide in. But it was clear from the current situation that the police were no longer around, and the police station had been left with these thugs who only cared about enjoying themselves. What Wang Hao didn¡¯t know was that these thugs were former prisoners who had been arrested and detained in the police station. After the Apocalypse hit, several zombies rushed into the police station and bit many cops either to death or injured them. Since they couldn¡¯t handle the situation by themselves, the remaining police released these detainees so that they could lend a helping hand. Eventually the zombies in the police station had all been killed, but there were zombies roaming the streets everywhere outside. The police had no choice. They shut the main gates of the police station and waited for someone to rescue them with all these thugs. But after several days of waiting, nobody came to help them. Everyone started to despair when they saw that they weren¡¯t going to get any help. The thugs secretly made a decision among themselves. They attacked several policemen during the night and took their guns away from them. They then locked up all the policemen and only allowed the one policewoman to move freely. At first, the thugs didn¡¯t have any wicked ideas. But after some days passed and they realized how the world outside had changed, their dark sides were finally unleashed in their entireties. They started to use the policewoman as their tool to relieve their stress. They also threatened her by saying that if she tried to kill herself, they would kill all the other policemen that they had locked up. So the policewoman had no choice but to endure being treated like this. But, of course, Wang Hao didn¡¯t know anything about this. He had just happened to discover that the middle-aged men who were staying on the second floor all had guns. They seemed to be of a different status than the men staying on the first floor. But what shocked him even more was finding the rotting bodies of several policemen inside the jail cells. Wang Hao noticed that all these policemen had been handcuffed and their bodies were extremely skinny and frail, so it looked as if they had been starved to death. Wang Hao didn¡¯t know exactly what had happened here, but he could more or less make an educated guess. These thugs must have managed to take away the policemen¡¯s guns, locked all of them up in the cells, and taken over the police station. The process might have been different from his guess, but the result was the same. Wang Hao was sure that none of these men were good people. He recalled the extremely reluctant and unwilling expression on the woman¡¯s face earlier, and he was sure that these men had forced themselves on her. ¡°Tonight will be your last one on earth!¡± Wang Hao had decided that he was going to use these people to test how far he could go with his Zombie Commander Talent. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Countless zombies were wandering about aimlessly outside the police station, and they would growl from time to time. There were a few hundred of them, and they surrounded the police station on all sides. Now, all of a sudden, it seemed as if they had received a command, and all of them instantly fell silent, and then started moving toward the main gates of the police station. The zombies stopped growling and became unusually quiet. There was no other noise besides the sound of their footsteps. They swarmed to the fence next to the main gates of the police station like the flow of a river and came to a stop. After that, the zombies in front stopped moving, but the zombies at the back continued to advance forward. Since the zombies at the back were blocked by the zombies in front, they started to climb over the zombies in front. Wang Hao continued to command these zombies and turned them into a wall of zombies like the ones depicted in zombie movies. Even though the scene in front of him was nowhere near the scale of those zombie movies, it was enough to shock anybody. In no time, the zombies in front had transformed into a ladder of sorts, so the hundreds of zombies behind slowly made it over the fence as they climbed the zombies in front of them. THUD¡­THUD¡­ These zombies jumped down from the fence fearlessly as if they were dumplings being thrown into a pot. The fence was too high, so the first batch of zombies that jumped down ended up breaking their legs and sprawling on the ground. But even though their legs had been broken, they continued to crawl toward the building. As more and more zombies accumulated at the bottom of the fence, the zombies were able to get over the fence with no problem. They just landed on top of the other zombies, rolled once, and stood back up on their feet. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s going on?¡± The muscular man who was repairing the police car heard some noise, so he turned around to look. In the next moment, his mouth opened wide, his eyes got huge, and he couldn¡¯t seem to speak anymore. He was looking at the most terrifying scene of his life as countless zombies continued to jump down from the fence. The zombies on the ground that had broken their legs from the fall had already crawled rather close to him. ¡°We¡¯re finished¡­the world is really ending¡­¡± The man started murmuring to himself. Since so many zombies were attacking the police station, he knew that none of them were going to survive. But his survival instinct made him drop all his tools, and he immediately hopped into the car and hid inside. DUU DUU! DUU DUU! The honking of the horn resounded loudly after that. The man wasn¡¯t able to shout, so he could only keep pressing the car horn in hope of informing the rest of the men inside. But nobody in the police station knew what all this honking meant. Those who were sleeping continued to sleep, and the one trying to have sex continued trying. Everyone was engrossed in whatever they were doing. The police station was like a fortress, so they were very confident that no zombies would be able to get in. They would never have thought that such a mysterious force existed in the Apocalypse. This mysterious force could command zombies and make the zombies do things they never imagined were possible. BAM! The glass of the police car in the courtyard was broken, and the zombies had forced open the door of the police station building as well. The middle-aged man sleeping at the desk near the door opened his eyes when he heard the commotion, and the first thing he saw was several zombies pouncing toward him. ¡°AHH!¡± He only had time to shout loudly before the zombies pushed him onto the floor and tore him to pieces. In an instant, his blood flowed all over the floor, and a putrid stench soon filled the air. ¡°What¡¯s that sound? What¡¯s going on outside?¡± Some of the thugs had finally been awoken by all the noise and shouting from outside. ¡°Something¡¯s happened! Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± They picked up their weapons and opened the door. GRAAAHHH¡­ But the minute they opened the door, a group of foul-smelling rotten zombies pounced on them. ¡°AHH! Zombies! The zombies are here!¡± The thugs finally realized what was going on and started screaming in despair. In no time, all the thugs inside the police station had been alarmed. But none of them knew exactly how many zombies had entered from outside. Those who didn¡¯t know what was happening just picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, but they were soon faced with a zombie army that was way too big for them to handle. Wang Hao had already done a rough count earlier and knew that there were 50- odd thugs inside the police station. He had commanded at least 700 zombies to attack. This was definitely an unfair battle. The thugs had no chance of winning at all. Chapter 35 Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Countless zombies squeezed their way into the first floor of the police station. The thugs who had opened the doors to fight the zombies were instantly overwhelmed and gobbled up by the flood of zombies. They were all torn to pieces and eaten by the zombies. Other thugs, who had initially thought of opening their doors also, shut them tightly when they heard the commotion outside. But there were way too many zombies, so even though they closed their doors, it only served to prolong their lives for a while more. BAM! BAM! The zombies were way too strong and were much stronger than ordinary humans. The wooden doors soon splintered and started to give way after the zombies rammed into them repeatedly. ¡°No¡­I don¡¯t want to die¡­I still want to live¡­¡± ¡°Why¡­why did something like this happen? Am I going to die today?¡± The thugs looked at their doors, which were about to break open, and felt their hearts sink into despair. In no time, the zombies rammed open the doors, and all the thugs inside were overwhelmed by the zombies. In just a few minutes, everyone on the first floor had been attacked and eaten by the zombies. Not a single person was left. The second floor didn¡¯t have a much better fate either. Even though the doors on the second floor were mostly made from metal, they still couldn¡¯t take the repeated ramming of the zombies. The locks of the doors slowly started to twist under the impact and give way. BANG! BANG! The sound of gunfire could be heard. The zombies right in front collapsed after being shot. But before all the zombies in front had been wiped out, more zombies had already come pouncing over from behind. ¡°D*mn it¡­why are there so many zombies? I don¡¯t have enough bullets for this!¡± A fat man was cursing away inside one of the rooms. He saw that his door had been completely broken down, so he had no choice but to run to the balcony. The good part about the second floor was that the rooms here had balconies, so anybody in these rooms had the option to jump, whereas the windows of the first floor were all blocked by locked grilles. ¡°Bloody h*ll¡­it¡¯s so high! I¡¯m going to end up breaking my leg if I jump down.¡± The fat man saw that he was more than five yards above the ground and began to feel afraid to jump. But the zombies had already rushed into his room, and he didn¡¯t have too much time to think about this. He gritted his teeth and made a jump. He thought that the grass below could help to break his fall. CRAAACK! But reality was very cruel. His leg broke upon landing on the ground. ¡°AHH!! My leg! My leg!¡± The fat man started yelping in pain and tried shouting to his companions for help. But all the thugs who were standing on the balconies of the nearby rooms didn¡¯t respond at all. At such a time, nobody cared about anyone else. All of them were only concerned about how they could stay alive. ¡°Du Datao¡­crawl over to my side, I¡¯ll think of a way to help rescue you.¡± Suddenly, a man with spectacles standing on one of the balconies started yelling at the fat man on the ground floor with a broken leg. ¡°Zhao Xiaoyong, I didn¡¯t expect you to be the one who would end up helping me in this time of crisis.¡± Du Datao quickly started crawling toward the balcony where Zhao Xiaoyong was. But when he got very close to the bottom of Zhao Xiaoyong¡¯s balcony, he realized that Zhao Xiaoyong had suddenly made a jump for it. ¡°What the fu¡­¡± Du Datao¡¯s eyes got wide. He¡¯d never imagined that Zhao Xiaoyong was going to treat him as a human cushion. ¡°AHH!¡± He could only let out a bloodcurdling scream before Zhao Xiaoyong landed hard enough on him to kill him. ¡°This stupid pig turned out to be useful after all.¡± Thanks to this human cushion, Zhao Xiaoyong was only slightly injured. He climbed to his feet and started running to the back of the police station. By this time, several thugs who were standing on their balconies had also jumped down to the first floor. Most of them had broken their legs, and only a few managed to get up with light injuries. Every single one of them started running toward the back of the police station, hoping to escape through the back door. BAM! But just then, the back door of the police station suddenly swung open. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Countless zombies flooded the police station from all directions, growling endlessly. ¡°We¡¯re doomed¡­we¡¯re doomed this time¡­¡± The last hope that the thugs had was completely extinguished now. BANG! BANG! ¡­ Gunshots were fired repeatedly. Eventually all gunfire ceased. All the men had been gobbled up by the zombies. However, something that Wang Hao simply couldn¡¯t understand was happening inside one of the rooms on the second floor. When he used his Zombie Commander Talent, he had a bird¡¯s-eye view of the building, so he¡¯d happened to spot this. He saw that an overweight thug was still inside the room with that policewoman. Wang Hao couldn¡¯t understand why this overweight thug wasn¡¯t thinking about how to escape and was still continuing with his activities. And because he was very curious, Wang Hao didn¡¯t let the zombies ram his door down. He just sent a few zombies to keep ramming against the door for show. He wanted to know what this thug was thinking and whether he was behaving so fearlessly because he still had more weapons or tricks up his sleeve. Several minutes later¡­ The policewoman finally broke her silence. She stared straight at the thug and asked him, ¡°You¡¯re going to die soon, so why aren¡¯t you trying to escape? Why do you still want to do something like this?¡± ¡°What do you know? I weigh nearly 220 pounds, so where can I run to? Do you expect me to jump? I might die from doing that.¡± The fat man wiped away the sweat on his forehead. Then he continued, ¡°I might really die this time, so if I¡¯m going to die, I want to die after I¡¯ve had sex. That¡¯s my last wish! If I die this way, then I¡¯ll feel like I haven¡¯t lived for nothing.¡± ¡°Humph! You disgusting piece of filth! Once the zombies get in here, you¡¯ll die a terrible death,¡± cursed the policewoman. ¡°Heh, heh, heh¡­I don¡¯t care about that. At least you¡¯ll die with me!¡± The fat man started laughing maniacally. ¡°What on earth¡­so that¡¯s what this guy is thinking about. I¡¯m not going to let you have your way!¡± Wang Hao was puzzled by this, but he soon thought of something and sent out a new order. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombies got a new command from their commander and started moving again. They rammed hard against the room door. BAM! After one loud blast, the door was rammed open. ¡°What?¡± The fat man on the bed felt his insides churn when he saw the zombies before him, but he willed himself to stay focused and started going faster. He wanted to come one last time, then shoot himself in the head, and leave the world that way. But when the zombies pounced, they didn¡¯t tear him apart immediately. They just dragged him off the bed. ¡°No¡­don¡¯t¡­I¡¯m not done yet¡­don¡¯t stop me¡­¡± The fat man was in great despair as he pulled his pistol out and wanted to kill all the zombies that had just attacked him. But Wang Hao was already prepared for that. The zombies had pulled him off the bed and were sprawled all over him to keep him on the ground. Another zombie bit his arms so that he was unable to hold a gun anymore. ¡°No¡­¡± The fat man yelled desperately, and a deep look of despair appeared on his face. He never thought that he still wouldn¡¯t be able to do what he wanted to do even when he was about to die. ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­I just love this expression: I want more, but I can¡¯t have any!¡± Wang Hao felt great inside as he watched the fat man slip into despair and scream hysterically. The feeling of being able to control another person¡¯s fate was simply amazing. Chapter 36 ¡°Ah¡­my arm¡­my arm hurts so badly¡­¡± The fat man lay on the floor and kept wailing in pain as he struggled and tried to stand up again. But with more than ten zombies lying on top of him, it started to get too difficult to even breathe, so how could he possibly stand up? ¡°What¡­what¡¯s going on?¡± When the policewoman on the bed first saw the zombies rush in, she was filled with nothing but terror. But just a few seconds later, her thoughts went through a complete reversal. She suddenly realized that these zombies seemed as if they were here to rescue her. That was because after these zombies had pushed the fat man to the floor, none of them came to attack her. This sort of thing defied logic, but it had really happened right in front of her eyes. The policewoman¡¯s eyes got wide as she watched what had just happened in front of her. She really didn¡¯t know what she ought to do now. All of this was too creepy and completely mind-blowing. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Just then, the zombies at the door suddenly growled and made way for something. The policewoman turned to look at the door when she heard the commotion outside. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ Amid the growls of the zombies, one zombie finally came stumbling into the room. This particular zombie didn¡¯t look any different from the other zombies, but according to everything that happened earlier, she knew that this particular zombie was definitely different from the rest. ¡°Could it be that this zombie has intelligence and it can actually command the other zombies?¡± A shocking thought suddenly crossed the policewoman¡¯s mind. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie slowly walked over to her and started to just stare straight at her. The policewoman was feeling very frightened inside. The zombie was very ugly to look at, and there were even maggots wriggling about inside the rotting flesh on its face. The rotten smell emanating from it made her feel like puking. But she didn¡¯t dare to look disgusted or repulsed. When she was faced with this unknown yet powerful and frightening creature, she realized how terribly weak and frail she was. To her, this zombie definitely had intelligence, and it was certainly the most powerful one, and the commander of all these other zombies. ¡°Are you¡­are you here to kill me?¡± asked the policewoman in a trembling voice as she tried her best to suppress the terror in her heart. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie was silent for a long time before shaking its head slightly. ¡°Phew¡­¡± The policewoman breathed a sigh of relief when she got this response from the zombie in front of her. So she asked the next question, ¡°Then why did you come and look for me?¡± Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie pointed a finger at the fat man who was lying under a whole pile of zombies, then pointed its finger at the pistol on the table. ¡°You want me to kill him? Is that it?¡± asked the policewoman. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie let out a series of growls as it nodded its head gently. The policewoman became very emotional when she saw this and said, ¡°Thank you so much! I¡¯m not sure why you¡¯re doing this, but I¡¯m really grateful that you¡¯ve given me a chance to kill this animal myself.¡± Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie waved its hands about as if it was saying you¡¯re welcome. After finding out that this zombie had sentient feelings, the policewoman wasn¡¯t surprised by its responses anymore. She turned to look at the pistol on the table again, took a deep breath, and walked over to get it. ¡°Ahh¡­no¡­please¡­you can¡¯t kill me¡­¡± The fat man was filled with horror when he saw what was happening. He turned to that one special zombie and started begging for mercy, ¡°Zombie Daddy, please, I beg you, don¡¯t kill me. I will work for you. You want to eat humans, right? I can work for you and help you to find humans. I¡¯ll do anything you say. I¡¯m begging you, please give me a chance. I will do a good job. I will show you real loyalty.¡± But this zombie completely ignored what the fat man was saying, as if it couldn¡¯t hear what the man was saying at all. CLICK! CLACK! The policewoman had already picked up the pistol, loaded it with bullets, and pulled off the safety catch. She walked over to the fat man lying under the pile of zombies and bent over. She slowly brought one end of the gun near his forehead. ¡°No¡­don¡¯t do it¡­you can¡¯t kill me¡­I was so nice to you¡­I gave you all the best food¡­you can¡¯t¡­you can¡¯t kill me,¡± pleaded the fat man as he trembled all over and peed on himself. ¡°Humph!¡± The policewoman scoffed coldly and said, ¡°You gave me the best food only because you wanted to sleep with me. You b*stard, the gods have finally allowed a wicked man like you to receive the punishment you deserve. You can shut up and go to h*ll now.¡± ¡°No¡­I¡¯m also a human like you¡­we¡¯re the same kind. You mean you¡¯re going to kill someone of your own kind?¡± asked the fat man as his eyes looked at her in despair. ¡°Shut your trap! To me, you¡¯re even worse than an animal.¡± The policewoman didn¡¯t say any more and just pulled the trigger. BANG! After the gun was fired, the bullet went straight through the fat man¡¯s head. Fresh blood immediately spurted out and a huge patch of red covered the floor. After the policewoman had fired that shot, she straightened herself up, staggered back several steps, and leaned against the wall. It was true that she had killed the man she¡¯d hated to the core, but once she had done that, her mind went blank. She was now surrounded by nothing but zombies, and there wasn¡¯t a single living person left. She clutched her head and slowly slid down the wall to squat on the floor. Graaah¡­ The zombie made a light growl when it saw her behave like this. ¡°Mr. Zombie, can I ask you for a favor?¡± The policewoman suddenly looked up at it. Graah¡­ The zombie grunted in reply. ¡°I want to go and check on those colleagues of mine. They were locked up by all these bad guys before this, so I want to see if they¡¯re still alive,¡± said the policewoman. The zombie pointed to the door after hearing her request. ¡°Thank you!¡± The policewoman stood up, grabbed her pajamas from the bed, and put them on before walking out of the door. That mysterious zombie followed behind her and maintained a distance from her. None of the zombies outside the door tried to attack the policewoman and actually made way for her to walk. The policewoman was really shocked by all this, but she was more worried about the policemen locked up in the jail cells, so she walked very quickly. She finally reached the jail cells. The door of the cells was open, so she walked right in. ¡°This¡­¡± The policewoman saw all the policemen lying on the floor terribly skinny from being starved for days. All of them were lying motionless, and they looked like they had been dead for several days already. ¡°Liars¡­those liars¡­¡± The policewoman thought about how she had acceded to those thugs¡¯ every request in exchange for the lives of these policemen. But all she had gotten was a broken promise. Those thugs had never intended to let these policemen live at all. She had sacrificed herself for nothing. ¡°I¡¯m so stupid¡­I was really so stupid¡­I actually believed those b*stards¡­I¡­¡± The policewoman felt a deep regret over this matter. She grabbed at her own hair and started to break down again. This time, she had really fallen into despair. The thugs were all dead, but her colleagues were also dead. She suddenly didn¡¯t feel like living anymore. She slowly turned around to face the zombie who was standing in back of her. She said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what on earth you are¡­and I don¡¯t know if you have the same thought processes as humans do¡­in fact, I really don¡¯t know what I¡¯m looking at¡­but now, I really don¡¯t have any hatred toward you. I just¡­please, kill me now¡­I don¡¯t want to live anymore.¡± After that, the policewoman stuck out her fair, slender neck as she waited for death to befall her. Chapter 37 Ba-thump¡­ba-thump¡­ The policewoman had raised her fair, slender neck as she waited for death to befall her, and her heartbeat was increasing uncontrollably. She didn¡¯t want to die. But at the same time she didn¡¯t want to continue living in such a cold, cruel world. So she had decided to just die and put an end to all this. But, after waiting for some time, she realized that the zombie in front of her wasn¡¯t moving. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to kill me?¡± The policewoman opened her eyes and looked at him, rather confused. Graaahhhh¡­Grrrrrhhh¡­ The zombie opened its mouth. It looked as if it wanted to say something, but it could only utter a bunch of low growls. However, after trying several times, the zombie actually managed to produce a few deep sounds that actually started to make sense as if he was talking properly. ¡°I¡­won¡¯t¡­kill¡­you,¡± said the zombie. ¡°What the¡­?¡± The policewoman was terribly shocked to hear these words coming from a zombie. She definitely hadn¡¯t expected this zombie to have not only intelligence but also the ability to speak. Even though its pronunciation was a little garbled, she could still make out what it was trying to say. ¡°I¡­won¡¯t¡­kill¡­you¡­¡± The zombie repeated this phrase, and then it turned around to point toward the door. Then it continued, ¡°Death¡­is easy. Living¡­is hard. If¡­you¡¯re¡­filled with¡­despair about this world¡­then¡­just¡­wait! Without¡­doing anything¡­in five minutes¡­all the zombies¡­will¡­come and attack you. Live¡­or¡­die¡­you can¡­make your own choice.¡± ¡°What¡­what are you talking about? I¡¯ve already made my choice! I want to die!¡± said the policewoman in a loud voice but with a look of panic appearing on her face. The zombie didn¡¯t say anything else after that and walked right out of the door. THUD¡­THUD¡­ The policewoman heard the zombie slowly walking toward the door, and her heart was thrown into confusion. She had wanted to die as quickly as possible. She hadn¡¯t wanted to die slowly by getting bitten and eaten by zombies. Just then, she suddenly thought of what the zombie had said earlier. It had said, ¡°If you¡¯re filled with despair about this world, then just wait.¡± ¡°Despair¡­have I really despaired of this world? I still don¡¯t know if my parents and my other friends or relatives are still alive. Do I really want to die?¡± The policewoman started thinking about everything that the zombie had said earlier, and soon she began to question herself. Eventually, after that zombie had left the police station, all the zombies outside, which had originally stayed completely silent, suddenly started to go into a frenzy again, and they began to make their horrifying growls all over again. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The waves of zombie growls outside the police station were accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps. The policewoman knew immediately that the zombies were making their way toward her. ¡°So fast?¡± The policewoman had wanted to die just moments before, but now, when she was faced with these terrifying zombies, she suddenly realized that she still had the desire to live on after all. She didn¡¯t want to die! She wanted to continue living! But if the world out there was filled with nothing but zombies, then she would have to live in fear every single day and live knowing that she might die any day. It was too tiring to live like that. And that¡¯s why she had so many conflicting ideas inside of her. Should she just die now? Or should she live on but face the threat of imminent death and allow this fear to torture her heart every single day? This was the real question. But she didn¡¯t have time to think about her answer now. Life and death depended on her decisions at this very moment. Several zombies were about to reach the door of the detention room where she was right now. ¡°No¡­¡± When the policewoman saw that the zombies were drawing close to the door of the detention room, an energy suddenly burst from inside her. She dashed over and violently swung the door shut. BAM BAM! BAM BAM! Shortly after that, a series of aggressive banging sounds could be heard from the other side of the door. ¡°Phew¡­phew¡­¡± The policewoman continued to breathe heavily as she used all her strength to push against the door so that the zombies were unable to push the door open. Even though she hadn¡¯t really made a choice yet, her survival instinct had kicked in, making sure she wouldn¡¯t let herself die just like that. She suddenly realized that when she was faced with the real possibility of dying, somewhere deep inside her still wanted to live on. ¡°I want to live¡­I really want to keep living¡­I don¡¯t want to die¡­I can¡¯t just die for nothing like this¡­¡± The policewoman pushed her back against the door and became rather worked up. She even started to cry. But she gritted her teeth and persisted as she continued to use all her strength to keep the door shut. ¡­ ¡°Humans¡­are all afraid to die after all¡­ho, ho, ho¡­¡± After some time, Wang Hao walked back into the police station. He was now standing outside the detention room. He watched as the three zombies continued to ram at the door of the detention room. The door was shaking very violently, but it still didn¡¯t give way. He could tell this woman¡¯s desire to live was still very strong. Wang Hao had been able to feel that this policewoman didn¡¯t really want to die. On the contrary, she was even more willing to keep living than a lot of other people who were still alive now. And so he¡¯d decided to test this policewoman. He wanted to see if she was really prepared to face death and whether she really didn¡¯t care about how she died. If someone really wanted to die, that person wouldn¡¯t be picky over the method of dying. They wouldn¡¯t frown even if they had to jump into a fire. But it was obvious that this policewoman wasn¡¯t someone who really wanted to die. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll help you this once. After this, whether you manage to survive or not will depend on yourself.¡± Wang Hao took out his katana and walked over. PFFT! He swung the blade across the neck of one of the zombies. Orrrhhh¡­ The zombie let out a howl, and its blood instantly spurted out from its neck. After that, this zombie slowly slumped to the floor. In no time, all three zombies had been slashed by Wang Hao effortlessly and had all collapsed onto the floor. ¡°Is there someone in there?¡± Wang Hao pretended to ask whether someone was in the detention room as if he didn¡¯t know anything about the situation. ¡°Huh?¡± A look of surprise spread across the policewoman¡¯s face when she heard someone asking her a question from outside the door. When the zombies had repeatedly rammed against the door earlier, she didn¡¯t think that she stood a chance of living. But to her surprise, someone had actually appeared at this time, and he seemed to have killed off those zombies. This sounded like a dream to her. ¡°Is there anyone inside? If there¡¯s nobody inside, then I¡¯m going to leave.¡± Wang Hao turned around and pretended to seem as if he was about to walk away. Creeaak¡­ Just then, the door of the room suddenly opened. A beautiful woman in grayish-white pajamas stuck her head out the door. It was that policewoman. ¡°How did you know that I was in here?¡± asked the policewoman in a soft voice as she kept her eye on Wang Hao. When she saw that Wang Hao was just a boy who looked like an ordinary student, she wasn¡¯t as wary as she had been before, but she was still a little suspicious. ¡°I happened to be walking past and heard some commotion inside the police station, so I thought I¡¯d take a look. I didn¡¯t expect anybody to really be inside here,¡± said Wang Hao, as if he really didn¡¯t know what had just happened. ¡°Ah¡­so that¡¯s what happened¡­Thank you so much!¡± The policewoman didn¡¯t have any doubts after she¡¯d heard what he¡¯d said. ¡°What¡¯s there to thank me for? After the apocalypse hit, very few humans have managed to survive, so all of us survivors ought to help one another. I might have saved you today, but you might end up saving me the next time. Ha ha ha¡­¡± Wang Hao spoke in a gentle voice, and the smile on his face made him look harmless. Even though he knew that a lot of men had already slept with this woman, she was really very pretty. Besides, there weren¡¯t that many policewomen around in the first place, so since he had actually run into one, he wasn¡¯t going to miss this chance. After all, he had so many boxes of condoms, so he wasn¡¯t afraid of any consequences. Chapter 38 ¡°You¡¯re a really good person.¡± The policewoman sighed a little. Wang Hao had made her feel the little bit of warmth that this post-Apocalyptic world had left. He had given her some hope that many other good people might still exist out there. She believed that those thugs had found it in themselves to do such inhuman things because they hadn¡¯t been good people at heart to begin with, and that¡¯s why they just did whatever they wanted after the Apocalypse occurred. She was sure that most ordinary humans would never do anything like that, no matter what. Wang Hao¡¯s appearance made her even more sure of this opinion. ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­¡± Wang Hao couldn¡¯t help laughing when he heard her call him a good person. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you laughing?¡± asked the policewoman, confused. ¡°You¡¯re the first person who has ever complimented me like this, so I¡¯m very happy,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Oh, I see¡­¡± The policewoman nodded, then pointed to the area outside the door. She asked, ¡°There were so many zombies outside just now. How did you get in here?¡± ¡°Zombies?¡± Wang Hao frowned and replied, ¡°There weren¡¯t a lot of zombies outside.¡± ¡°There weren¡¯t a lot of zombies? How can that be?¡± The policewoman¡¯s eyes widened and her mouth fell open. She looked as if she was very surprised. ¡°Why would I lie to you? It¡¯s true that there are usually a lot of zombies around, but I noticed that this area didn¡¯t have that many zombies walking around, and that¡¯s why I was willing to hit the streets. Otherwise, even if I were super-brave, I wouldn¡¯t dare to take such a risk,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Really? But that¡¯s really very strange¡­I saw so many zombies earlier.¡± The policewoman was really puzzled by this situation, and she started to suspect that the mysterious sentient zombie she¡¯d run into earlier had led all the other zombies away from this area. But why would that zombie want to do something like that? Did it want to give her a chance to live on? That sounded absolutely ridiculous. But that seemed to be exactly what had just happened. She couldn¡¯t help feeling very confused about everything now. ¡°A lot of zombies? But if you saw a lot of zombies, then why didn¡¯t I see any of them?¡± asked Wang Hao as he pretended not to believe her. ¡°I¡¯m serious. The zombies attacked the police station and killed off all the thugs who had originally taken over this police station,¡± replied the policewoman with a very serious look on her face. ¡°Are you serious? Then why didn¡¯t those zombies kill you?¡± asked Wang Hao a little doubtfully. ¡°I don¡¯t know why either. There was a commander among those zombies, and it didn¡¯t want to kill me, and because of him I managed to survive the attack.¡± The policewoman thought about what had happened earlier, and she herself started to find it all very unreal. ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­everything you¡¯re saying doesn¡¯t make any sense at all. I¡¯ve seen so many zombies, and I¡¯ve never seen one with any intelligence. I think you¡¯ve been too tense over the past few weeks, and you¡¯re beginning to imagine things,¡± said Wang Hao as he laughed. ¡°Sigh¡­I just knew you wouldn¡¯t believe me. If someone else told me this story, I wouldn¡¯t believe it either. It just sounds way too ridiculous.¡± The policewoman sighed. She knew that Wang Hao would never believe her story, so she didn¡¯t talk about it anymore. ¡°All right now, it doesn¡¯t matter whether it was true or not, since I don¡¯t think it matters to you anymore. Right now, you need to think about how you¡¯re going to survive,¡± said Wang Hao. In reality, that particular intelligent zombie had been created from one of his own Zombie Bombs. Of course he believed everything that the policewoman had just said. As for those zombies that he¡¯d controlled earlier, he had naturally found a way to dispose of them in a secluded area. And because he¡¯d gotten rid of so many zombies in one fell swoop, he had gained a lot of XP. But in order to cover his tracks, he had to keep pretending that he didn¡¯t believe the policewoman at all. Otherwise, if she thought about it a little more deeply, then she might start to suspect him. It was better to have one less worry than one more worry, so Wang Hao went on pretending not to believe her. ¡°You¡¯re right. All those things have nothing to do with me anymore.¡± The policewoman nodded, then she looked at Wang Hao and asked, ¡°Then what do you intend to do now?¡± ¡°I came out to look for some food, and I¡¯ve already found some. So I¡¯m just going to find a place to sleep,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Oh, where were you staying before this?¡± asked the policewoman. She didn¡¯t have anywhere to go now, so she wanted to know where Wang Hao was staying. She wanted to know if he was living with anyone else. She wanted to see if she could move in with them. But Wang Hao¡¯s response made her feel a little disappointed. ¡°I don¡¯t have a fixed place to live. After the Apocalypse hit, I¡¯ve been moving from place to place,¡± replied Wang Hao. ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you¡¯ve been living all by yourself?¡± The policewoman was a little disappointed. ¡°That¡¯s right. After the Apocalypse happened, all the students in my school died, and I¡¯m the only one who survived. I¡¯ve been relying on my own strength to survive all this time.¡± The policewoman¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard these words. She stared at Wang Hao, then looked at the three zombies lying on the floor. She said in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re really incredible, making it this far all by yourself. I wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive for so long. How did you do it?¡± ¡°It was nothing really. These zombies might look very terrifying, but once you¡¯ve discovered their habits and weaknesses, there are many ways of dealing with them. But most people don¡¯t really understand them, that¡¯s all,¡± replied Wang Hao nonchalantly. The policewoman heard how Wang Hao explained it so simply, but she didn¡¯t think that things were as simple as Wang Hao made them out to be. She started to feel even more admiration for Wang Hao. As a result, she started wondering if she could live with him while she slowly looked for her family, since Wang Hao was so strong and capable. ¡°By the way, since this is a police station, then you guys must have guns, right?¡± asked Wang Hao. He quickly explained himself after asking this question. ¡°We¡¯re now living in post-Apocalyptic times, so I was wondering if it would be possible for you to find me a few guns. After all, it¡¯s very dangerous to go outside and look for food. If I run into a large group of zombies, it would be very easy for me to get bitten.¡± ¡°You want a pistol? It¡¯s illegal for ordinary citizens to carry weapons,¡± said the policewoman. ¡°Er¡­¡± Wang Hao was speechless. But the policewoman continued, ¡°But since we¡¯re in this lawless time, then all normal boundaries don¡¯t count anymore. I just want you to agree to one request of mine.¡± ¡°What request do you have? Go ahead and ask it,¡± said Wang Hao quizzically. ¡°I want you to take me along when you leave this place. Would that be okay?¡± asked the policewoman. ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­of course, that¡¯s not a problem,¡± said Wang Hao with a laugh. He was more than happy to do that for her. He had been wondering what excuse he could use to get her to live with him, but now the policewoman had taken the initiative to ask to stay with him herself, so that fit right into his plans. ¡°That¡¯s a deal then. You are not to abandon me,¡± said the policewoman with a very stern look on her face. ¡°I said it¡¯s no problem, so it¡¯s definitely not a problem,¡± replied Wang Hao very confidently. ¡°Come upstairs with me then.¡± The policewoman then turned and started walking out of the room. Wang Hao quickly ran after her. He could have found all these weapons by himself, but with the help of this policewoman, it would make finding all these things much easier. On top of that, the police station didn¡¯t only have guns. They also had things like bulletproof vests, handcuffs, tasers, high-powered flashlights, and radio communication devices. If he¡¯d had to search for all these things by himself, it would have taken up a lot of his time and energy. So the policewoman¡¯s usefulness was very evident to him at this time. Chapter 39 Wang Hao followed the policewoman up to the third story where they entered a room filled with nothing but files. ¡°Those thugs thought that this was just a file archive room, so they didn¡¯t search the inside carefully.¡± As the policewoman said this, she walked up to one of the shelves filled with files. She reached out and pushed the shelf, revealing a door in the wall hidden behind the shelf. ¡°Oh, my¡­¡± Wang Hao¡¯s eyes got round and wide. He had had no idea that there would be a hidden door here. He watched the policewoman pull out a wooden box and open it. Inside there were several police-issued bulletproof vests, standard police belts that could be used to hold any number of items, high-powered flashlights, radio communication devices, handcuffs, and more. ¡°Are all the items needed by the police station placed here? Isn¡¯t it very inconvenient to retrieve these items on a daily basis?¡± asked Wang Hao. ¡°Of course not.¡± The policewoman shook her head and continued, ¡°All the things up here are for emergency use. The pistols and bulletproof vests that we had in our usual storeroom were mostly all taken away by those thugs. They¡¯ve used all the ammunition in those pistols, so there¡¯s no point in taking those.¡± ¡°There are only three pistols here, but there are also 100 additional bullets, so that¡¯s enough for you to use. The batteries in these radio communication devices are brand-new, so we might be able to get into contact with others as well.¡± The policewoman picked up one of the black radio communication devices and shook it. This thing looked like the standard walkie-talkie that security guards used, but it had much higher functionality and its signal could reach much greater distances. Wang Hao wasn¡¯t all that interested when he saw these devices, because he didn¡¯t intend to contact anybody else. But if he could use it to communicate with Li Mengyao, then that wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea either. Because all these things were just for backup, there were only three of each item. Wang Hao looked at the items in front of him and started making plans in his head. ¡°I¡¯ll take one set of these, leave one set with Li Mengyao, and I¡¯ll have an extra set also. That will be enough for us.¡± However, the policewoman wasn¡¯t really a part of his future plans at all. The usefulness of the policewoman had only been to help him find all these police items and then satisfy the fantasies he used to have about policewomen. Actually, if he could find a policewoman who was a virgin, then he wouldn¡¯t care about this particular policewoman any more. But it wasn¡¯t possible for everything to turn out exactly the way he wanted all the time. If he let this policewoman go, then he might never find one again. Opportunities were hard to come by, and he didn¡¯t want to miss trying this fantasy out. He wasn¡¯t going to have babies with her anyway, so he didn¡¯t have to be so picky. Wang Hao picked up a 9mm revolver and felt that it seemed rather heavy. It was quite different from the pistol that he¡¯d picked up from those rich young men whose bungalow he¡¯d attacked. ¡°These are real pistols. Imitation pistols are really nothing compared to these.¡± Wang Hao started comparing the two types of guns in his mind, then he passed the 9mm pistol back to the policewoman. ¡°Why don¡¯t you demonstrate how to use this gun? I¡¯ve never used a gun like this before,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Sure. Watch carefully.¡± The policewoman took the pistol and quickly loaded the bullets. After Wang Hao had watched and remembered how to load this sort of revolver, he took the second revolver and loaded it with bullets as well. Immediately after he¡¯d loaded the gun, Wang Hao aimed the revolver at the window and pulled the trigger. BANG! The window glass was immediately shattered by the bullet. The policewoman looked shocked and asked with some panic in her voice, ¡°Why did you just fire like that? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you might attract the zombies?¡± ¡°Ha, ha, ha¡­I couldn¡¯t help it. I¡¯ve never used a gun before,¡± said Wang Hao with a laugh. He was so excited. This police revolver felt great in his hand, and it was very accurate. Even though he had only used a gun a few times, he was sure with this he would be able to hit his target easily. ¡°All right then, you can take a look around and see if there¡¯s anything else you want. Just help yourself. I¡¯m going to get changed. Then we should quickly leave this place. If the zombies get here, it¡¯ll be hard for us to leave.¡± After she said that, she took a revolver, loaded it with bullets, and walked out of the room. Without a gun during these post-Apocalyptic times, it would be tough to deal with dangerous situations. As Wang Hao watched the policewoman walk out of the room, he was thinking, ¡°Even if the zombies get here, I won¡¯t be afraid.¡± Even though that was how he thought, he still acted swiftly anyway. Wang Hao quickly stuffed the three radio communication devices into his backpack. Leaving such items behind was a bad idea because if someone else got hold of them and used them to radio for their teammates, it could be bad news for him. After that, Wang Hao put on a bulletproof vest as well as one of the multipurpose belts. He could hook a radio communication device, hang a pair of handcuffs, and keep his revolver on this belt. It was really useful for many things. Besides the bulletproof vest he¡¯d put on, he didn¡¯t take the other two vests. It was too difficult to take so many things with him at one time. He decided to just put one on himself now, then leave the other two here for the time being, and come back for them in another two days if he had time. In no time, Wang Hao was done packing everything he wanted into his bag. He closed the wooden box and pushed it back onto its hidden shelf. When he walked out to the corridor, Wang Hao saw that the policewoman was dressed in her police uniform. He realized that her aura was completely different now that she was in her uniform. After putting on the authoritative-looking police uniform and black boots, the contrast of her fair skin made the policewoman look even more cool, charismatic, and even prettier than before. ¡°She¡¯s really not bad at all. I didn¡¯t save her for nothing.¡± Wang Hao felt a fire start burning within him, but he tried his best to keep it down. Now was not the time for this. Besides, if he tried to force himself on her, he might not be able to take her since she had a gun too. ¡°Are you ready to go?¡± asked the policewoman as she saw Wang Hao walk toward her. ¡°Yup. Let¡¯s go.¡± Wang Hao nodded and started walking downstairs first. The policewoman took out her revolver and followed behind Wang Hao. Ever since the Apocalyse had hit, she hadn¡¯t gone out by herself . Wang Hao reached the first floor and stopped. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t make any noise, let me listen carefully to the situation outside.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The policewoman nodded slightly, and even her breathing slowed down. Even though Wang Hao was young, she saw him as a veteran who was able to survive well in this post-Apocalyptic world. So she felt that listening to what Wang Hao said was definitely the right thing to do. ¡°All right, we can go now.¡± Wang Hao waved his hand after some time. He had made use of his Zombie Commander talent to gain a bird¡¯s-eye view of the situation around them and found that there were only a few zombies wandering around on the streets outside. It was pretty much impossible for these zombies to hurt the policewoman while he was there. Wang Hao opened the main door of the police station and took the first step out. But the policewoman suddenly stopped walking, and her face turned pale. She pointed at a zombie on the street that was slowly coming toward them with wide eyes. Her voice was filled with terror as she said, ¡°A zombie¡­there¡¯s a zombie coming toward us¡­¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Wang Hao sighed quietly and pulled out his katana . He said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, and don¡¯t fire your gun. I can use my katana to settle such a small number of zombies.¡± ¡°But¡­there are some more over there too.¡± The policewoman pointed at an area nearby. A zombie was also approaching them from there. Chapter 40 ¡°Can you please just stop talking? We¡¯re living in Apocalyptic times, so of course there are zombies everywhere outside. Besides, that zombie is so far from us, what are you afraid of?¡± As Wang Hao said this, he reached out and grabbed the policewoman¡¯s wrist and pulled her forward. The policewoman instinctively wanted to move backward, but she eventually allowed Wang Hao to hold her hand, and they walked out of the police station. Right now, she didn¡¯t have any other choice besides trusting in Wang Hao. Any other choice would only lead to her death. So it was better to follow Wang Hao, since at least she would have a chance of surviving that way. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ A zombie started growling as it opened its foul-smelling mouth and stood a few yards away from them. The policewoman felt her heart pounding wildly. She was ready to fire her gun at any time. But Wang Hao didn¡¯t react at all. He didn¡¯t even raise the katana in his hand. ¡°Does this fellow really have such confidence? Don¡¯t tell me we¡¯re going to get bitten just after we¡¯ve stepped out of the police station?¡± The policewoman started getting really worried. She knew that Wang Hao had killed off many zombies before this, but she had never witnessed him kill any before, so it was hard for her not to doubt him now. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie continued to growl as it came right in front of Wang Hao. The policewoman¡¯s heart was already about to leap out of her mouth, and she couldn¡¯t help but raise her revolver. But just then, Wang Hao raised the katana in his hand and suddenly swung it across. PFFT! There was no warning at all. Wang Hao swung his blade at the zombie, and it sliced the zombie right across the neck. Even though the katana did not completely slice through the zombie¡¯s neck, it sliced enough for the head to become disconnected from the body, and it hung loosely from its neck. BAM! The zombie soon lost control of its movements and collapsed onto the ground. Its arms started flailing about as it struggled. Even though a zombie¡¯s movements didn¡¯t seem to be controlled by its head, it didn¡¯t mean that it could still attack humans after it had lost its head. Grrrh¡­Graaahhh¡­Grrrhhh¡­ The zombie lay on the ground and kept growling nonstop. After its neck had been cut halfway through, its body had lost its balance, and it was no longer able to stand up. The policewoman stared at the zombie on the ground as if her eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. She was so stunned and impressed by Wang Hao. She was completely convinced of Wang Hao¡¯s bravery, and she didn¡¯t doubt Wang Hao¡¯s capabilities anymore. He was actually able to remain so calm and collected and was also able to kill the zombie so effectively at the exact right moment. He was seriously amazing. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± said Wang Hao quietly as he looked at the policewoman who was still standing there in a daze. ¡°Okay.¡± The policewoman snapped out of her daze and immediately continued walking with Wang Hao. Everything that happened after that made her even more in awe of Wang Hao. To her, Wang Hao seemed to fight without caring about his own life, and he didn¡¯t seem the least bit nervous when he was faced with zombies that came pouncing his way. Every time he killed a zombie, it was always when the zombie was super-close to him, and it always took only one slash of his katana. He was even calmer than those heroes in martial arts movies. Wang Hao continued to pull the policewoman along with him, and they finally came to the entrance of a hotel called 007. ¡°Let¡¯s just rest here tonight,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll just stay here. There are lots more zombies coming,¡± said the policewoman nervously. Wang Hao glanced at the few zombies that were slowly wandering over to them from afar, then turned around and walked toward the main entrance of the hotel. When he got inside, he hacked the two female zombies who had probably been receptionists of the hotel to death, then headed for the staircase and walked upstairs. Before the Apocalypse happened, there had probably been several guests staying in the hotel. He could hear a lot of zombie growls coming from the rooms on the second floor. But the higher they climbed, the fewer the number of occupants. So the rooms with zombies growling inside decreased along the way as well. By the time they reached the sixth floor, they couldn¡¯t hear any zombie growls at all. They chose a room that was at the deepest end of the corridor, opened the door, and walked in. This room turned out to be a luxurious presidential suite. The room was huge, with a TV, computer, gym equipment, and a large table that could seat several people. But the most important thing was that there was a large round bed that looked as if it was suitable for several people to lie down on. Wang Hao figured that this sort of bed had probably been for those rich men to have threesomes on. The bed was enormous, so it would be such a waste to just use it for sleeping. He was sure that rich men booked this presidential suite, then called a few women to come over to use this bed to its maximum. Wang Hao looked all around, and he was very pleased with this room. But just then, the policewoman looked at Wang Hao a little weirdly and asked him, ¡°So¡­can you let go of my hand now?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Wang Hao was slightly stunned to hear what she had said. He suddenly realized that he was still holding onto the policewoman¡¯s soft, slender hand. But Wang Hao didn¡¯t let go of her hand immediately and continued to hold onto it. ¡°Why¡­why aren¡¯t you letting go of my hand?¡± The policewoman was a little confused, and she started feeling even more awkward now. Wang Hao was younger than she was, so she felt weird about him holding her hand like this. ¡°I¡­¡± Wang Hao pretended that he was feeling a little nervous and said, ¡°I just think that your hand is so soft. I¡¯ve never touched a woman¡¯s hand before.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± asked the policewoman. ¡°If you don¡¯t mind, let me hold onto your hand for a while more,¡± said Wang Hao. ¡°Huh¡­what do you mean by that? I¡¯m not an easy woman, you know?¡± The policewoman frowned and started to feel a little angry inside. After those thugs had forced themselves on her, she¡¯d started to have negative feelings toward men. But Wang Hao had no idea what she was thinking about. He was thinking to himself, ¡°You¡¯ve been screwed so many times by those thugs, and you¡¯re not willing to just let me touch your hand? Aren¡¯t you going a bit too far? Is it because you think I¡¯m not handsome enough?¡± Even though that was what he thought inside, he said, ¡°I know that you¡¯re definitely not an easy woman. But now that the Apocalypse has happened, I don¡¯t even know if I will live to see tomorrow, so¡­so I¡¯m afraid that I might never have contact with women again in this life.¡± After he said this, Wang Hao held onto the policewoman¡¯s hand even more tightly. ¡°You¡­don¡¯t grip me so hard¡­stop¡­it hurts¡­we can talk it out¡­I¡¯m not an unreasonable woman¡­¡± When the woman felt Wang Hao¡¯s strong, firm grip, her heart suddenly started pounding wildly. The heart that had been killed by the violations of those thugs actually started beating again. She had joined the police force only two years ago and had never had a boyfriend, and she used to have a lot of dreams about the future. But after the Apocalypse hit, and she¡¯d ended up being a treated as a toy by those horrible thugs and violated and humiliated by them. During that time, she had suffered a devastating blow to her spirit and didn¡¯t have any good feelings toward men anymore. But now, Wang Hao¡¯s words had actually made her heart skip a beat. She realized that she probably still had some dreams about the opposite sex, even though those thugs had shattered her dreams by violating her. And now, it seemed like those dreams had been summoned back to life once more by Wang Hao. But was it really okay to let a boy so much younger than herself just hold onto her hand so blatantly? She knew that boys of his age definitely had fantasies in that aspect already. What should she do if Wang Hao suddenly wanted to do that sort of thing with her? She was already a woman who had been violated countless times by those thugs, while this might be Wang Hao¡¯s first time. Was that fair to him? The policewoman suddenly felt very frustrated about this whole subject, so she pulled her hand out of his grip violently.
