After putting the chickens into the Space, Jiang You ran for a while longer. She noticed that the zombies behind her were starting to disperse, with some giving up the chase.

After all, she was running incredibly fast in front, and the zombies were scrambling to catch up.

But then again, they were zombies now, and how many of them would remember to wear shoes?

It was tough for the barefoot zombies. Their soles were constantly rubbing against the concrete ground. They chased for miles, like they were running a marathon.

The skin on their feet slowly wore away on the concrete, bit by bit turning into bloody messes. Some even exposed their foot bones.

Seeing that quite a few zombies were starting to scatter in all directions and then wander around aimlessly, like a pile of loose sand.

These guys really had no cohesion at all.

How could this be allowed?

If you want to be a persistent zombie, how can you give up halfway?!

You chase if you want to, and if you don't, you just leave. Do you think this is love?

If you want it, take it. If you don't, just let it go!!

While sprinting, Jiang You took out a street vendor's loudspeaker from her Space, turned it on, and quickly stuffed it into her backpack.

The moment she pressed the switch, a powerful shout instantly ignited the crowd.

"Jiangnan Leather Factory, Jiangnan Leather Factory is bankrupt! All leather is not 588, not 48, only 58!!"

"Look, look! Two yuan, two yuan! Everything is two yuan! You can't get cheated or fooled for two yuan!"

"Last day, last day! Everything must go! Everything is ten yuan! Come pick and choose! If you don't take advantage of the cheap prices, you're a bastard! It's really the last day, if you don't leave tomorrow, you're a grandson!!"

"..."

The zombie horde, which had been starting to disperse, immediately became spirited, just like the elderly folks rushing to supermarkets to grab eggs, full of drive.

At the same time, more and more zombies emerged from the alleys in all directions, all baring their teeth, drooling, and lunging at Jiang You.

Jiang You held her Miao Saber, dodging when she could. For any zombies she couldn't avoid, she directly decapitated them.

A zombie rushed out from a side alley, the first to reach Jiang You. Its cavernous mouth opened, and a stench of decay hit her.

Jiang You held the saber with both hands, raised it high, and then slashed down fiercely.

"Pfft~"

With a soft sound, the zombie that had just reached her was split in half from the top of its head downwards, its body falling to either side.

Jiang You quickly stepped over the dividing line and continued her sprint.

As the commotion grew louder.

The zombie horde behind her grew in size.

Roaring and growling, Jiang You felt that even the most fervent fans of top stars before the apocalypse weren't as fanatical as the group behind her.

She weaved nimbly through the city's streets and alleys at a rapid pace. Every time she passed through a narrow passage, the zombies behind her trailed like a long tail.

The loudspeaker in her backpack died after playing for over two hours.

The zombie army began to disperse again.

Jiang You skillfully swapped it for a small speaker, turned it on, slung it over her shoulder, and kept running.

Initially, she could only be chased by zombies for half an hour.

Then an hour, two hours, four hours.

Her body constantly pushed its limits. Every time she returned home, her legs felt like jelly, as if they weren't her own.

Her bones and muscles ached.

But this pain was like forging steel, making her physical fitness stronger and stronger.

Leading the zombies became smoother and smoother.

No one would have imagined that this pervert's method of training her speed and agility was to lure the zombies of an entire city to chase her!

If this were to get out, everyone would say she was courting death.

However, in Jiang You's eyes, this was just an appetizer.

She firmly believed one thing: a person's potential was like oil in sesame seeds. No matter how thoroughly you squeezed it, if you kept applying pressure, you could always extract a little more.

Moreover, with the help of perfect stem cells, she didn't have to worry about her body being unable to withstand such intense training.

The speaker on her shoulder was playing loud music, making Jiang You's own ears go numb.

The rhythmic songs were like a jolt of electricity for the exhausted zombie horde.

The roaring sounds of the zombies behind her were endless.

"Nothing can stop my yearning for freedom... Blue Lotus aaaaaaaahhhh!!!!"

"Didi didi didi didi dida da, walking on the path of courage!!"

"I once crossed mountains and rivers, and passed through mountains and seas. I once had everything, but in a blink, it all vanished like smoke!!"

"..."

Jiang You felt like her music wasn't quite right. Why was it that listening to this song made her feet unable to stop moving?

She had an urge to charge forward, to run continuously, to keep running straight ahead.

If she were driving right now, she was sure she would have floored the accelerator.

For some reason, the zombie horde felt incredibly excited, sprinting wildly and howling behind her.

Perhaps this was the power of music, transcending species.

Even though they couldn't understand it, they could resonate with it.

It was impossible for all the survivors in this city to have left; there had to be some who stayed behind.

And the booming sound system Jiang You carried would cause a stir wherever she went.

Not only could the zombies hear it, but the human survivors who remained could also hear it.

Some survivors, upon hearing the music, thought they were hallucinating.

Then, they suddenly felt as if they were back in the days when old ladies danced in the public squares.

She used to find them noisy, uncivilized, and annoying.

But now, how many people missed that kind of noise?

A window on the sixth floor of an apartment building by the street was quietly opened from the inside.

A guy with dyed blonde hair, whose roots had already grown out into a patch of black, saw the scene below and couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them in disbelief.

"Holy crap, this has to be a hallucination! Absolutely a hallucination!!!"

He slapped himself hard twice.

Looking further down, his jaw nearly hit the ground.

"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this!!!"

A woman was sprinting for her life, carrying a square black sound system on her shoulder. The system was blasting upbeat music, and the zombie horde chasing her was densely packed, filling the street below, making his scalp tingle.

There were so many zombies that a stampede even occurred.

Some zombies tripped or were bumped by others, falling down. Before they could even get up, they were crushed into a bloody pulp by the surging horde behind them.

After the zombie horde had all run off, the man looked at the foul-smelling remains littering the street below and involuntarily swallowed.

"A true warrior dares to lead zombies."

Meanwhile, Jiang You, ahead of them, paid no mind to whether her actions would attract the attention of other survivors. Her daily plan of running twenty kilometers absolutely could not be missed.

Jiang You took a large detour, and as dusk settled, she circled back towards her residential complex.

Upon reaching the vicinity, she took down the portable sound system from her back.

Then, she quickly ducked into an alley, shedding a portion of the pursuing zombies.

The zombies behind her, having lost their target, dispersed on the spot.

When she had gone out in the afternoon, these zombies had been full of fighting spirit, chasing her.

But now, many zombies were just dragging their legs, crawling on the ground.

Jiang You could be considered unprecedented for being able to wear out zombies.

Jiang You was very satisfied with the training plan she had set for herself. She had now moved beyond the stage of training alone in her room with the door shut.

Morning.

Da Zhuang carried a loudspeaker and raw meat to lure the zombies into an abandoned warehouse.

Jiang You was responsible for closing the doors and taking count. Once the number of zombies exceeded three hundred, the warehouse door could be shut.

Confining a group of zombies in a spacious warehouse to practice close-quarters combat, relying entirely on cold weapons without using her abilities, was all about speed.

In all martial arts, speed is paramount.

The best defense is offense!

Three hundred zombies, all decapitated, marked the end of the training.

Initially, it took her a whole morning to kill three hundred zombies. Later, it was condensed to three hours, then two hours. Finally, one hour and five minutes was her limit.

After all, without using her abilities and relying solely on the Miao Saber, executing each move, this time could no longer be surpassed.

The morning training concluded.

Jiang You collected all the zombie corpses into her Space and ran to a nearby sports stadium, then piled the corpses on the open ground of the stadium.

The massive swimming pool in this stadium was already filled with corpses, and the tennis courts were also piled high with them.

The large area of zombie corpses attracted many small animals. Every time, the stench from the stadium could be smelled from a distance.

Insects and rats gathered here, and for them, this was simply a buffet paradise.

The moment Jiang You entered the stadium, she saw rats, flies, cockroaches, and various unknown insects feeding on the mountains of corpses everywhere.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
