Encirclement

"Ah—" Lu Wan screamed loudly.

"Shut up, you bitch!" Ye Tianlong snarled, grabbing her by the head and smashing it heavily against the wall—Bang!

Her scream cut off abruptly.

Bang! Scarlet blood instantly streamed down the snow-white wall.

It happened too quickly. By the time everyone reacted, Lu Wan had already breathed her last.

"Fuck! You bitch! You didn't warn me! You bitch!" Ye Tianlong still did not stop after the first blow. He continued gripping Lu Wan's head and slamming it desperately against the wall, producing repeated thuds as warm blood spread all over the floor.

Her beautiful face was gone, reduced to a bloody mess more horrifying than a zombie. Only after smashing Lu Wan's head beyond recognition did Ye Tianlong finally stop venting his rage. He had been holding in his anger for a long time, and Lu Wan had happened to walk straight into the line of fire. Yet he still seemed unsatisfied. He grabbed Lu Wan's body and violently hurled it toward the stairs.

Bang, bang, bang—

Lu Wan's body tumbled heavily down the stairs, blood splattering along the way.

The apocalypse had only erupted four days ago, yet the ugliness of human nature had already been laid bare so completely!

Chen Shaoye, standing nearby, watched the scene with a pale face and a mind that had gone blank. He had only gone to sleep—how had everyone here changed?

The mother and daughter were carrying guns, both of them looking vicious and fierce.

And Ye Tianlong, whom he had always believed was such a good man, had suddenly become brutal and inhuman.

He had even... even killed someone!

And the reason for killing her was so fucking absurd!

That was a person, not a zombie!

What was wrong with this world? He had actually trusted someone like that before. He really had been blind!

Bang! Crash—

A chilling sound suddenly came from downstairs.

It seemed like a signal, or perhaps an omen before humanity's despair, allowing them to feel this terror once before death arrived.

"Oh no! They broke through the glass!" Chu Han hurried to the stairway, gripping the axe tightly in his hand as he immediately gave orders. "Fatty Chen, stand to my left and deal with anything that slips past me. Shang Jiudi, stay in the rear and fire single shots. Everyone else, pick up a weapon!"

Chu Han finished assigning everyone at once. There was no need to mention Chen Shaoye. He was timid and terrified of zombies, but he feared Chu Han even more. This man was too cold and too rational, so much so that Chen Shaoye wondered whether Chu Han was a machine.

As for Shang Jiudi, she immediately took her position and chambered a round with a click. The large movement made her clothes tremble, and a strand of black hair fell from her forehead to her cheek, making one want to brush it aside and reveal her swan-like, fair, supple, alluring neck.

At that moment, Ye Tianlong licked his lips and stared fixedly at Shang Jiudi. Then he turned a cold gaze toward Chu Han's back. How dare Chu Han seize his position? Only he, the leader, had the right to assign people!

Everyone else had already run or fled. Chaos erupted, and some people even ran into rooms and locked the doors behind them.

Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong exchanged a glance, then silently stepped behind Chu Han together. They feared zombies, but they also feared Ye Tianlong. At present, Chu Han was the only one who could get them out alive.

"What about me? What about me?" Eighteen hurriedly asked.

"You?" Zombies had already begun feeling their way toward the stairway. Chu Han took a moment to glance at her. Seeing the bright anticipation in the little girl's eyes, he casually pointed behind himself at Ye Tianlong and the others.

"Watch them. If anyone dares to sneak attack us, kill them!"

"Okay!" Eighteen was instantly brimming with energy, her childish face shining with excitement.

Although Chu Han had clearly just found something for her to do, that did not lessen her anticipation. She chambered a round with a click and steadily aimed her gun at Ye Tianlong. This time, she had learned her lesson. Instead of aiming at his head, she aimed at his chest. It was a bigger target and easier to hit.

Ye Tianlong and the others hurriedly backed away a few steps. Fuck, this little girl was too damn creepy!

"Pick up your weapons!" Eighteen gave a sweet shout. With a gun in her hand, she was especially arrogant, sweeping the muzzle across Ye Tianlong and the others one by one. Her voice carried the childishness unique to a little girl. "You, you, you, all of you stand on both sides! If I see anyone slacking off, my bullets won't be polite!"

The stairway was wide. Chu Han and the other two alone could not possibly hold it, and Eighteen had no sympathy for Ye Tianlong's group. She directly ordered them to stand on both sides of the stairs.

No one dared resist and could only comply. Fortunately, Chu Han stood in the middle of the stairway. If the zombies wanted to bite someone, they would bite Chu Han first.

Heh! Ye Tianlong sneered. These people were truly stupid. If it were him, he would use human bait, throwing those who had run away into the zombie horde to block them while he took the chance to escape.

Roar—

Zombie howls rose and fell as they drew nearer. The first zombie felt its way to the stairway, soon followed by the second, the third...

The zombies had already changed somewhat from when the apocalypse first broke out. The rotten flesh on their bodies had decayed even further, and a heavy stench could be smelled from far away.

No one knew why the entire world had gone dark, nor did anyone know why those humans had suddenly turned into zombies.

But zombies were, after all, a different species from humans. The instant they were infected, everything inside their bodies changed. Their bones softened, their muscles and organs began to rot, and all of this showed that they were weaker than humans in every respect.

But that would not last forever.

Rather than degeneration, it was more accurate to call it metabolism. The first batch of zombies would metabolize everything in their bodies that belonged to humans. What came next was mutation.

They would become stronger and gradually evolve, but there was one thing that had never changed.

Blood was a fatal temptation to zombies.

They quickly discovered Lu Wan's corpse on the stairs. The zombies swarmed over it, desperately clinging to the fresh human flesh and devouring it. Their nails and teeth were sharp, instantly tearing apart the clothes on the corpse.

One zombie bit down on Lu Wan's body. More and more zombies gathered around her corpse, continuously tearing and biting at every part of her body.

The scene was incredibly bloody and horrifying. Even Chu Han, who had endured countless hardships both great and small, felt a chill run through his heart.

Ye Tianlong and the others were no better. They had killed people and thrown disobedient people into zombie hordes before, but they had never observed zombies feeding at such close range.

Chen Shaoye gripped a fire axe, his obese body trembling uncontrollably with fear.

The hands holding Shang Jiudi's and Eighteen's guns had become somewhat unsteady. No matter how strong they appeared on the outside, they still could not suppress the panic in their hearts.

Chu Han suddenly tightened his grip on the axe. A zombie horde was no joke.

Thanks to Rebellious Drifting Bottle for the reward!!
