The young man tucked his phone close to his body, then quietly climbed out through one of the basement exits.
The reason he wanted to save the woman was naturally not because of her meager looks.
These days, people could barely fill their stomachs and could not even use water freely. How many attractive women could there be?

Several zombies trailed behind her.
