Playing Mahjong Is Good for Body and Mind

Playing Mahjong Is Good for Body and Mind

Chu Yunyi acted quickly.

He directly shut all the windows, drew the curtains, and finally dragged the refrigerator over to block the door.

Though he moved fast, he still made some noise.

The sounds upstairs gradually grew louder. Apparently, the source of the noise was going from door to door, smashing them open.

Listening to the commotion, Chu Yunyi pieced together all the information he had gathered earlier.

That was it.

These were the so-called Gluttony patients, beings even more terrifying than zombies.

There were three households on the fourth floor.

One belonged to a Reborn person, so there was no way they would open the door.

Another had opened its door. The owner was a man living alone, and he was already dead. To be precise, he should have been called warm, since he was all inside someone's stomach.

The sounds of someone upstairs digging out hearts and lungs could still faintly be heard. Squish, squish, like gutting a fish for its air bladder.

Using his phone's flashlight, Chu Yunyi sorted through the weapons in his home.

A pair of scissors, a kitchen knife, a Bone Chopping Knife, and a fruit knife.

They were all too short and lacked killing power, so Chu Yunyi only tucked the Bone Chopping Knife into his waistband.

Finally.

Chu Yunyi took out the Tang Saber displayed at home as decoration.

Everyone had their edgy teenage phase. He had insisted on buying it back then, and his mother had bought it for him.

However.

In the end, it had not even chopped much cauliflower, let alone been played with more than a few times.

This time, it was finally useful.

But it was just a decorative item. The blade had never been sharpened, so Chu Yunyi could only take out the whetstone at home and slowly sharpen it.

At this moment.

The entire building still echoed with the sounds of doors being smashed, bones being crushed, and people chewing.

And it was not just this building. When Chu Yunyi pulled back the curtain, several nearby buildings also seemed to be in trouble.

"Damn, is there not enough police manpower?"

Chu Yunyi clicked his tongue.

As far as he knew, even before the apocalypse, someone in Heitu Town died every few days. The people here were all pretty weird, after all.

The last time he came back during summer vacation.

Someone had gotten their head chopped off, and the head had been thrown into the river.

Chu Yunyi had even gone to see it.

The police had not allowed photos at the time, and Chu Yunyi had obediently listened. He had not taken pictures—he had recorded a video instead...

The footage of that headless corpse was still on his phone. It was great for watching while eating.

He had heard that the victim and the murderer liked the same woman. The murderer felt he had been cuckolded, arranged to meet the victim in the park, and beheaded him under cover of night.

He had heard the murderer had wanted to kill the woman afterward too, but she had gone to play mahjong and was not home.

All he could say was.

The experts were right: playing mahjong benefited body and mind. They truly did not deceive him.

In any case.

The people of Heitu Town were simple and honest. There were three police stations alone, and every police booth came with a Type 64 Pistol and ten bullets.

Chu Yunyi figured that as long as he held on until dawn, these Gluttony patients would probably be cleaned up.

After all.

No matter how strong they were, once a bullet entered their chest, their lives would be in the hands of the King of Hell, not themselves.

However.

Chu Yunyi had no intention of entrusting his life to others. He continued carefully sharpening the Tang Saber.

It might come in handy.

The blade had never been sharpened or polished, and Chu Yunyi had to put in a great deal of effort just to give it a little edge.

Chu Yunyi did not dare keep sharpening it. Setting aside the noise, if he continued, both his arms would be too weak to move.

After taking another look outside and listening to the sounds around him.

Chu Yunyi hugged the sheathed Tang Saber and lay on the bed, quietly remaining alert.

The sounds of smashing and screaming continued all around him.

Every so often, another life was lost.

In Chu Yunyi's eyes.

Ordinary people like them were basically canned sardines. Once the Gluttony patients outside broke through the door, they would be left to be eaten.

By the latter half of the night, the sky had faintly begun to brighten.

Drowsiness washed over Chu Yunyi, and his head hurt slightly.

He always dreamed. He needed ten hours of sleep a day to feel energetic, and being so tense only made him sleepier.

Before Chu Yunyi could fall asleep, the sound of a window breaking rang out.

Crash!

A thin pane of glass was shattered with a single punch.

Chu Yunyi abruptly opened his eyes. The sound had come from the living room.

One had to know.

His home... was on the third floor.

"Fuck, they can climb up here too?"

"I never even considered they'd come in through the window..."

Chu Yunyi quietly peered outside and saw a fat-headed, big-eared monster that looked nothing like a human slowly climbing up.

It was impossible to tell whether it had once been male or female.

The monster looked as though it were made from piled-up grease, its entire body swollen like an inflated balloon.

Its head was as large as a vat, its teeth protruding from its mouth, each one as thick as a finger.

Its palms were large enough to crush a pot with ease, and its nails were as sharp as blades.

"What the hell..." Chu Yunyi could hardly believe it.

Was this still human?

Could an ordinary person turn into something that looked like a monster after just one night?

But Chu Yunyi had no time to think about that now.

The Gluttony patient sniffed the air, like someone taking a walk downstairs and smelling the food from other people's homes.

But what it wanted to eat was Chu Yunyi.

"Fragrant. I can smell you."

"Stop hiding. I'm so hungry! So hungry!"

Seemingly catching Chu Yunyi's scent, the Gluttony patient dragged its bloated body and rushed toward Chu Yunyi's bedroom.

The Gluttony patient reached the door and shoved its body hard through the opening.

Its body had not made it in, but its head entered first.

"Huh? Where is he?" The Gluttony patient looked around but did not spot anyone.

Suddenly.

The Gluttony patient seemed to catch the scent again. The source of that fragrance was...

Above its head!

"Your grandpa's up here!" Chu Yunyi gripped the hilt with his right hand and slapped the blade with his left, dropping straight down from a corner of the ceiling!

He had trained his body too.

When he was little, he had climbed up and down like a monkey. There was no reason he would be unable to climb up a corner now that he was grown.

Now.

Chu Yunyi slashed straight down, intending to Divide into Two this monster's head!

But the Gluttony patient was not stupid. It instantly tilted its head aside, and Chu Yunyi's blade landed directly on its shoulder.

When he tried to pull the blade back out, it would not budge.

"Tch, did it get stuck in the shoulder blade?" Chu Yunyi was somewhat disappointed.

The next second.

The Gluttony patient's left hand reached through the gap in the door and grabbed Chu Yunyi around the waist.

Its vocal cords, compressed by fat, vibrated as it said, "Brother, you smell so good."

With that.

The Gluttony patient prepared to crush Chu Yunyi's internal organs, leaving him without the strength to resist.

Hearing that, Chu Yunyi's body shook.

"I smell good, my ass!"

Chu Yunyi pulled the Bone Chopping Knife from his waist and stabbed it into the Gluttony patient's eye socket.

Squish.

The eyeball burst with a strangely satisfying sound.

"Aaaahhhhhhh!!" The Gluttony patient cried out in pain and immediately released him.

Rather than fleeing after breaking free, Chu Yunyi gripped the knife with both hands and smashed it down.

Before the Gluttony patient could cover its eye, Chu Yunyi struck ruthlessly again.

The Bone Chopping Knife plunged into the eye socket and sliced straight into its brain.

In just two breaths, the monster before him stopped moving.

The Gluttony patient was dead.

Suddenly.

Chu Yunyi's vision blurred, and the scenery before his eyes turned into a single expanse of color!

Brilliant white!

"I... fell asleep at a time like this?!" Chu Yunyi exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, the Round Table in his dream changed.

More precisely.

The only black billiard ball on the Round Table had changed!
