My Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

It's quite advanced, but my attention isn't on that small shoulder bag right now. Instead, it's on a glint of light reflecting off the sun's rays from within the scattered contents of the bag!

"Car keys!!"

I quickly walked over and snatched the car keys. I didn't have time to deal with any of the other messy contents!

The moment I grabbed the keys, I pressed the unlock button. Suddenly, at the very end of this row of vehicles, a white SUV flashed its lights a few times and let out a sound that echoed throughout the entire street!

"Beep beep~"

Great!! It actually works!

However, that distance...

No... I don't have time to think any further!!!

Gritting my teeth, I dashed forward, sprinting towards the white SUV. The zombies on the other side of the street saw my movement and seemed to charge over with even more frantic roars!

That car was about tens of meters away from me, and the zombies in the distance were a little further. At this moment, the car was parked exactly between me and the zombies.

While running, I tightened my grip on the dagger, watching the zombies getting closer and closer!

"Die!!!"

With a roar, I leaped up, raising the dagger high. I thought the zombie would fall right under my dagger, but what I never expected was...

It actually jumped up...

"What!!!"

I only had time to exclaim before a powerful force hit me. A dull pain shot through my chest, and I watched in disbelief as the zombie's two hands actually grabbed my chest!!

"Damn it!! I haven't even dared to touch myself like this!!!"

Being grabbed like that, a very complex feeling surged within me—shyness? Surprise? Anger...

I had intended to bring the dagger down fiercely, but this action completely ruined my balance, and I was thrown directly to the ground!

"Ugh!!!"

A sharp, dull pain erupted from my back. After a dizzying spin, I realized I was lying on the asphalt road. The zombie, its claws still gripping my chest, wasn't holding back at all. The force even made me feel like my chest was about to be crushed!

"Go to hell!!!"

"Pfft!!"

Before the zombie could bite me, I plunged the dagger directly into its skull. Pushing up with my knee, I shoved the zombie, which was already twitching in its death throes, to the side!

However... as I pushed the zombie away, right behind it, I saw another figure lunging towards me!

Another one!!

Seeing the second zombie pounce, I couldn't afford to care about the bursting pain in my chest anymore and quickly rolled away.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the lunging zombie missed and its head hit the ground. While rolling, the corner of my eye even caught the moment its skull bounced off the ground before falling back down.

'Hiss... That must hurt!'

I immediately rolled to my feet. The zombie, however, struggled to get up, its movements incredibly awkward. Its body... especially its waist, seemed particularly stiff. Was it due to the mutation?

Thinking this, I charged at the zombie that was still trying to get up and thrust my saber down!

"Puchi!!"

"Gaa~~~"

The moment the saber pierced it, the zombie let out a strange cry. I didn't have time to wonder why this zombie was screaming in agony before its death, but instead stood up and looked at

the approaching zombies in the distance, then at the car about six or seven meters away...

"No time! I can only..."

Gritting my teeth, I looked at the charging zombie and slowly closed my eyes, recalling that feeling of mental focus!

"Bzzzzz~~~"

A strange sound entered my ears. At the same time, that feeling surged into my heart. When I opened my eyes again, everything before me had slowed down.

So slow... so slow that I could even clearly see the rotten, spoiled insides exposed in the zombie's already ruptured abdomen!

So close. When I closed my eyes just now, the charging zombie was still six or seven meters away, about level with the car I was heading for. But in the blink of an eye, it was already here?

And... one thing bothered me greatly. This zombie seemed different from the others. I couldn't pinpoint the difference, but its movements looked more like a human's, and in this near-stagnant vision, this zombie was clearly running faster than the others!

"Is it... a new mutant? It doesn't look like it..."

At this moment, I was surprisingly calm. My state of mind, as if I had entered 'Sage Mode' completely, left me unfazed, without any emotional fluctuations.

I quickly walked forward. My speed, though not particularly fast in my perception, was at least much faster than the zombie in front of me.

Habitually, I thrust my dagger into its brain, then pulled it out and continued towards the car. In this state, for some reason, I couldn't run; at most, I could take larger strides.

But I still walked at my normal pace because, in my mind, I had astonishingly calculated the time it would take for me and the zombie to reach the car!

In this state, I even had time to glance back. The zombies behind me were only about twenty meters away. They had already passed the hospital's back entrance and were running towards me.

The calculation was flawless...

When my hand landed on the car door, the closest zombie was still at least two meters away from reaching me...

...What in the world is this?

Still thinking, I opened the car door, slipped inside, and pulled the door shut. The moment the door closed, with a "bang," I was instantly pulled out of that state, and a strong sense of fatigue washed over me.

Chapter 23: Speeding

"Hoo..."

However... just as I let out a sigh of relief, something completely unexpected happened: a heavy, rough gasp sounded in my ear!

Instantly!

I whipped my head around!

"Gaa!!!!"

A zombie!! It was a zombie that looked like a child of seven or eight!!

And this child-like zombie let out a sharp shriek instead of the usual zombie growl!

"Die!!"

I swung my saber fiercely. It was almost an instinctive reaction, but what I didn't expect was that this short...

The short guy was abnormally fast!!

He... was actually able to jump back and forth inside this spacious car!!

With a "bang!", my saber missed, and in an instant, this little zombie jumped in front of the windshield.

The moment I turned my head, I instinctively

pulled out the handgun from my waist!

And just as I drew my gun, a horribly distorted face appeared in my vision!

"Gaa!!!!"

"Bang!!!"

I pulled the trigger of the gun pressed against the chin of the little zombie facing me. In an instant, the little zombie in front of me violently convulsed, and in almost lightning-fast time, the top of the little zombie's head suddenly exploded with a "bang!", and thick, viscous red and yellow liquid splattered all over the entire car ceiling!

The viscous liquid, after hitting the fluffy car roof, fell like rain, making a "splish-splash" sound. The foul stench

made me vomit directly.

"Blech..."
