Chapter 4: Turning the Tables

ton charging towards her. She was strong, jumping up and using the downward momentum to cleave the skeleton's head clean in two. Then she continued to fight the next one.The cowboy's broadsword was no...She quickly locked the door to room 602, then hid in room 601, shutting the anti-theft door and pushing a cabinet against it, completely sealing off the entrance.

Wu Lianyi sat listlessly on the sofa in the small living room, touching her forehead. She was sure she had a fever.

This is a sign of human secondary evolution. On the day of the apocalypse, some of those who woke from their slumber became flesh-eating zombies, while others failed to evolve and remained ordinary people. Some, like ripples, began to run a high fever within two hours of waking and subsequently fell into a coma, undergoing a second round of evolution.

The original body, due to years of running business outside, had good physical fitness. Although thin, she was stronger than the average girl. Coupled with Wu Lianyi, this missioner's integration, allowed her to enter the second stage of evolution in the shortest time possible.

Wu Lianyi knew this was a crucial moment, and this sleep needed twenty-four hours. As long as her physical condition passed the test and she wasn't interrupted, she could more or less awaken her abilities. This was a basic requirement for survival in the apocalypse, and she absolutely couldn't miss it.

So when Wang Qiang, who was not well-intentioned next door, asked her for help, she had already made up her mind. Although she took a shortcut and returned to the rental house before Ma Tao and Yun Rou, who knew if the two would come to her rental house for shelter After discovering the empty house, would they go to room 601 If they interrupted her evolution, she would be in trouble.

After Wu Lianyi made the calculation, she threw the couple next door out. Soon, Wang Qiang would also become a zombie. With these two blocking the stairs, Ma Tao and Yun Rou could still come up, but that was their ability. Even if they did come up, how long could they last in an empty house

To prevent the two of them from getting any ideas about this room, Wu Lianyi gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay awake. She cleverly blocked the entrance with furniture like the living room sofa, coffee table, and dining table. Unless someone had more strength than her and could break down the door violently, she would be safe at least until she woke up.

Although Wu Lianyi had her own supernatural powers, she didn't take any chances. She went to her small study, which had a perfectly intact door, and as usual, she blocked the door shut, effectively adding an extra layer of security for herself.

Then he casually spread a blanket on the ground and lay down, closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Just as Wu Lianyi fell asleep, Ma Tao and Yunrou had already broken out of the adult novelty store, leaving behind the stiff-walking zombies, and were heading towards Lianyi's apartment.

Ma Tao and Yun Rou were able to escape the predicament so quickly because, in a moment of desperation, Yun Tao pulled on the doorknob. He didn't want the surrounding zombies to smash the glass door, but as a result, he actually pulled the inner handle right off.

Yun Rou's eyes flashed after seeing it, and she immediately whispered in surprise:

"Tao Ge, when did your strength become so great"

With a guileless expression, Ma Tao held the black stainless steel doorknob in his hand, still somewhat dazed. After hearing Yun Rou's words, he immediately let out a silly laugh.

"I don't know how I suddenly became so strong! This is a good thing, with strength I can protect Yunrou."

"Tao Ge, what do we do now We don't know what's going on outside. Is everything in chaos And staying here isn't a good option either. We haven't eaten or drunk anything, and it's also easy to attract zombies."

Yun Rou immediately spoke in a soft and gentle voice, clearly treating Ma Tao as her confidante.

Under Yunrou's worshipful gaze, Ma Tao's confidence soared. Any previously subtle intentions he had were now laid bare as he whispered,

"Yunrou, don't worry, Taoge will definitely protect you!"

The current situation is unclear. It's best if we find somewhere to hide, gather some food, water, clothing and shelter, and wait for news. This place is very close to where Wu Lianyi lives, so let's go there.

Yunrou listened and lowered her eyes, nodding slightly. She said with a touch of bitterness:

"Tao Ge often comes here, he must be very familiar with this place. I believe you."

Ma Tao seemed to realize he had spoken the wrong words and immediately explained in a low voice:

“It’s Wu Lianyi who insists on me going to recognize the door, I haven’t been there twice in total, but I know where she kept the spare room key. Now we go knock and ask for shelter, those people probably won’t open the door to us.”

Upon hearing Ma Tao's words, a faint smile appeared on Yun Rou's face. She then whispered:

"Tao Ge, don't worry, I will follow you closely."

Ma Tao nodded, but when it really came to him having to take action, he was still a little afraid. After all, saying it was one thing, doing it was another.

But he didn't want to lose face in front of Yunrou's delicate beauty, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll push this double door open with all my might, creating a gap between me and these zombies. You stay close behind me, and we'll run for it!"

"Great!"

Yunrou actually doesn't want to leave here for now, but because of that phone call, the zombies gathering here are increasing. She's afraid that the glass door will eventually be crushed, so she'd better leave first and talk about it later.

In the previous life, without that phone call, the two of them huddled in that sex shop until the sun rose on the second day. Having just transformed into zombies, they feared sunlight and automatically dispersed to hide in the shadows. They then ran all the way to their original home and, because they had a key, finally found a place to stay.

In this lifetime, because of the arrival of the tasker Wu Lianyi, they lost their chance. Now, they have to find a way to break through.

Ma Tao took a deep breath, nodded to Yun Rou, and pushed the door open with all his might. The two doors seemed unable to withstand his strength and flew outward, crushing three or four zombies underneath them and creating an escape route for the two of them.

Upon seeing his success, Ma Tao immediately turned to pull Yunrou up. He stepped over the glass door and quickly fled the small noodle shop, then started running desperately for escape.

It took them twenty minutes to cover five hundred meters, and that was only because they had to dodge the zombies rushing at them along the way.

Ma Tao held the doorknob he had just removed, waving it left and right to fend off the zombies that were trying to attack them. Yun Rou hid behind the tall Ma Tao, and the two quickly arrived at the electric gate of the family courtyard.

The zombies in the courtyard wandered aimlessly, then their nostrils twitched as if they smelled something good. A "huffing" sound arose, and they abruptly turned their heads, staring blankly at where Ma Tao and Yun Rou were standing with their eyeless whites. The two instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

"Tao Ge, what should I do I'm scared!"

Yun Rou's voice trembled as she spoke.

Because at this time, not only were the zombies in the hospital "watching" them, but all the zombies they had shaken off along the way were chasing after them, slowly closing in, panting heavily and treating them as their food.covered the Hall of Inheritance and informed everyone.
