"Ah—" Lu Wan screamed loudly.

"Shut up! You slut!" Ye Tianlong snarled, grabbing her head and smashing it hard against the wall—bang!

The scream abruptly stopped.

Thump! A stream of scarlet blood instantly flowed down the snow-white wall.

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

"Fuck! You slut! You didn't even warn me! You slut!" Ye Tianlong didn't stop after the first hit. He continued to grab Lu Wan's head and repeatedly smash it against the wall, making bang bang bang sounds. Warm blood also spilled all over the floor.

Her beautiful face was gone, mangled and bloody, more terrifying than a zombie. Only after smashing Lu Wan's head until it was unrecognizable did Ye Tianlong cease his vent of anger. He had been holding back a lot of frustration, and Lu Wan had just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, he still seemed unsatisfied. He grabbed Lu Wan's body and violently threw it towards the stairs.

Bang bang bang—

Lu Wan was thrown down heavily, rolling down the stairs, blood splattering all the way.

The apocalypse had only just begun four days ago, and the ugliness of human nature had already been displayed so vividly!

Chen Shaoye, standing nearby, watched this scene, his face pale with fright. His mind was a bit jumbled. He had only taken a nap, how had everyone here changed?

The mother and daughter were carrying guns, both looking fierce and ruthless.

And Ye Tianlong, whom he had always thought of as a good-natured person, had suddenly become brutal and inhumane.

He even… even killed someone!

And the reason for killing was so ridiculous!

That was a person, not a zombie!

What had happened to this world? He had actually trusted people like this before, he was truly blind!

Bang! Crash—

Suddenly, a heart-stopping sound came from downstairs.

It was like a signal, or perhaps a sign of despair before death, making people feel this kind of fear before facing death.

"Damn it! They broke through the glass!" Chu Han quickly arrived at the stairwell, gripping his axe tightly. At the same time, he gave orders without hesitation: "Fatty Chen, stand to my left to deal with any I miss. Shang Jiudi, provide covering fire from the rear. Everyone else, grab your weapons!"

Chu Han finished assigning roles immediately. As for Chen Shaoye, although he was timid and terrified of zombies, he was even more afraid of Chu Han. This man was too cold and rational, making him wonder if Chu Han was a machine.

Shang Jiudi also immediately took her position, chambering a round with a click. The large movement caused her clothes to tremble, and a strand of black hair fell from her forehead to her cheek, making one want to help her tuck it away, revealing her swan-like, fair, tender, and alluring neck.

At this moment, Ye Tianlong licked his lips, staring intently at Shang Jiudi. Then, he cast a sinister glance at Chu Han's back. How dare he steal his position? Assigning members should be his prerogative as the leader!

The others had already run and fled, causing extreme chaos. Some even ran into rooms and locked the doors.

Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong exchanged glances and, as if by unspoken agreement, stood behind Chu Han. They were afraid of zombies, but they were also afraid of Ye Tianlong. Currently, only Chu Han could save them.

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

"You?" Zombies were already fumbling their way up the stairs. Chu Han glanced at her, seeing the bright hope in the little girl's eyes. He casually looked up and pointed at Ye Tianlong and the others behind him.

"You watch them. Anyone who dares to sneak attack, kill!"

"Okay!" Eighteen immediately became full of energy, her young face beaming with spirit.

Although Chu Han was clearly just giving her something to do, it didn't dampen her excitement. She chambered a round with a click, her gun steady, aimed at Ye Tianlong. This time, she had learned her lesson and wasn't aiming for his head, but rather his chest. It was a larger target, easier to aim at.

Ye Tianlong and the others quickly took a few steps back. Damn it, this little girl was too creepy!

"Pick up your weapons!" Eighteen shouted. Relying on the fact that she had a gun, she acted particularly arrogant, pointing her muzzle at Ye Tianlong and his group one by one. Her voice carried the unique childishness of a little girl: "You, you, you, you, all of you stand on the sides. If I see anyone slacking off, my bullets won't be polite!"

The stairwell was wide, and Chu Han and the other two couldn't possibly defend it alone. Eighteen had no mercy for Ye Tianlong and the others, directly ordering them to stand on either side of the stairs.

No one dared to resist and could only comply. Fortunately, Chu Han was standing in the center of the stairwell, so if the zombies were going to bite, they would bite Chu Han.

Heh! Ye Tianlong sneered. These people were truly foolish. If it were him, he would use human shields, throwing those who ran away into the zombie horde to block them while he took the opportunity to escape.

Roar—

The rising zombie roars came from near and far. The first zombie fumbled its way to the stairwell, quickly followed by the second, the third…

By this time, the zombies were somewhat different from when the apocalypse first broke out. The rotten flesh on their bodies was more decayed, and a strong stench could be smelled from a distance.

No one knew the reason for the global darkness, nor why those humans had suddenly turned into zombies.

But zombies were, after all, a different kind of creature from humans. The moment they were infected, everything within their bodies changed. Their bones softened, and their muscles and internal organs began to rot. All of this indicated that they were weaker than humans in all aspects.

But this was not permanent.

It was less of a degeneration and more of a metabolism. The first batch of zombies would metabolize the human elements within their bodies. The next step would be mutation.

They would become stronger and gradually advance, but there was always something that never changed.

Blood, a fatal temptation for zombies.

They quickly discovered Lu Wan's corpse on the stairs. The zombies swarmed forward, ravenously crawling onto the fresh human flesh to gnaw. Their nails and teeth were very sharp, and the clothes on the corpse were instantly torn.

A zombie bit into Lu Wan's body. More and more zombies gathered around Lu Wan's corpse, tearing at various parts of her body.

The scene was extremely bloody and horrifying. Even Chu Han, who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, felt a chill in his heart.

It was even more so for Ye Tianlong and the others. Although they had killed people and thrown disobedient individuals into zombie hordes, they had never observed zombies feeding at such close range.

Chen Shaoye gripped the fire axe, his large body trembling uncontrollably from fear.

Shang Jiudi and Eighteen's hands holding the guns were already a little unsteady. No matter how strong they appeared on the outside, they couldn't control the panic in their hearts.

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

Thanks for the tip, Rebellious Drift Bottle!!
