My Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

These mutated monsters should each have their own territory, but...

There's no concrete evidence to prove it. What if it's a pair?

But... when I safely reached the base of the villa district's high wall, I let out a sigh of relief. This also proved that my deduction was likely correct.

Looking up at the three-meter-high white wall, I put the saber in my hand back to my chest, took half a step back, and then, with a sudden burst of strength!!

Chapter 32: The Corpse Bride

Today is September 11th, 2027. The weather... it's still quite clear. While looking at the azure sky, I was calculating the days in my mind.

At this moment, I was standing at the foot of the high wall, knees slightly bent, looking at the wall in front of me. I suddenly pushed off the ground with my feet. For a moment, I felt like I was flying. Then, I grabbed the top of the wall with both hands and exerted force, lifting myself up.

What met my eyes... was a spacious villa district with over a dozen two-story detached houses, each with its own small yard. The yards were enclosed by welded iron railings. I pushed off with my arms and stood directly on top of the high wall. Looking down, I saw a few zombies, scattered here and there, wandering in a small park with a statue in the middle. However, they were still some distance away, so I shouldn't be discovered.

Looking down, there was a patch of grass, probably for landscaping. It looked very clean. It seems this place wasn't very chaotic when the outbreak occurred...

But that's normal. The people living in the villa district were all wealthy. How many rich people would stay at home all day like me?

Supporting myself with one hand on the wall, I leaped down. A height of three meters was not difficult for me now, especially since there was soft grass below. The moment I landed, I gripped the samurai sword at my waist, making not a sound.

I glanced left and right. There was grassland on both sides. The thick weeds were about calf-high, likely the result of natural growth over the past month without any trimming.

Keeping low, I paid attention to the sounds around me. It was relatively peaceful. Occasionally, a few grasshoppers would chirp in the grass.

Insects... are they unaffected by the virus?

My mind was filled with questions as I considered what I should do first...

I've never been to the villa district before... I don't know its layout. Right now, my biggest hope is to find a usable vehicle. There are zombies wandering around, which might mean there are no mutated creatures in this community. That's somewhat good news for me.

Thinking this, I started walking towards the direction of the community entrance. After all... what I need now is to understand the specific layout of the community, and at least find something about vehicles. For example... where are the keys? What cars are there?

At the community entrance, there's a guardhouse. Next to the guardhouse is a duty room. Perhaps I can find something I need there.

I didn't take the main road because it would be too conspicuous. Although I still don't know how good the eyesight of these zombies is, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I looked left and right and followed the base of the wall, walking through the grass. The community entrance was to the south. After all... Chinese people tend to believe in feng shui, and the wealthier people are, the more they believe in these things. Of course... there are also some who don't believe in it, but they are a minority. Therefore, communities like this, especially wealthy ones, are usually built according to feng shui principles.

Although I've never been inside the villa district, it's still near my home. I've occasionally passed by the entrance of the villa district and glanced inside, but I could only see a garden. Anything further inside was hidden from view.

But the entrance, I remembered very clearly. Usually, when on duty, there were always two guards, one standing watch and one resting, with shifts throughout the day. Only during special weather would the guards return to the guardhouse to rest.

Moving forward along the grass, I lowered my head, lost in thought.

And the moment I pushed aside the branches of the third ornamental tree, whose name I couldn't recall, a rotten, foul-smelling face instantly appeared before me!

"Ugh!!"

"Buzzzzzzzz~~~~"

Instinctively covering my mouth, I took half a step back, avoiding the countless flies that almost obscured my vision! I quickly drew my saber, ready to fight, but…

"A corpse?"

It didn't suddenly leap up and pounce as I expected. When I got a clear look at the face, I directly spat out a mouthful of yellow bile…

"Gag!!"

Its pale face had become mushy, maggots crawling all over its body. The pink dress was already stained with blood, and most striking was that the lower half of the woman's body was exposed, her skirt lifted.

"Was this… done by a person?"

I frowned subconsciously, covering my mouth and suppressing the discomfort in my throat, I stepped forward to examine it.

Although its face was barely recognizable as human, based on its figure, especially the lines of the clothing, it was quite attractive. It must have been a very beautiful woman in life. And in this wealthy district, people had plenty of money, so they paid even more attention to their appearance. Relatively speaking, it was normal for an average woman to get skin whitening treatments, and those with some spare cash could even get plastic surgery.

Beside the woman was a small bag, its contents scattered in the grass. Most conspicuous was an ID card half-buried in the ground.

Stepping around the corpse, I walked over to the ID card and looked at it.

"Wang Lin."

The person on the ID was very beautiful. At least, without makeup, if she was still watchable, then she wouldn't be bad-looking with makeup on.

Putting down the ID, I looked at the ground again and found a set of keys. I picked them up. After thinking for a moment, I put the keys in my pocket. I then turned my attention back to the corpse.

Its lower body was already infested with maggots, and even its thighs, which would have been alluring, were covered in flies. What caught my eye the most, visible only from my angle, was a deep wound on her neck.

"Killed by a knife?"

But… is this kind of death really man-made? After all… if this were the normal world before, a corpse lying here like this, as soon as a guard walked by, they would definitely see it at a glance, so…

She was definitely murdered, and… it was rape then murder, because the woman's underwear was tossed aside, and given her current posture, this could generally be concluded.

It could be determined that this woman likely died during the chaos of the virus outbreak. Someone must have taken advantage of the confusion to rape and kill her, and then her corpse was left here, unattended.

Looking at her dirty pink dress, there were patches of dampness on it, likely water stains left from the rain a few days ago.

"If… my deduction is correct, then the murderer should still be in this residential area…"

With that thought, a shiver ran down my spine, because...

I was far more beautiful than this woman had been in life. It wasn't a desecration of the dead, but simply the truth.

Since that person could cruelly rape and murder amidst the chaos, if I encountered them, I might also become their target.

Chapter 33: Diary

After some thought, I still chanted "Amitabha" towards the deceased before turning to leave. After all... she was neither a zombie

nor a living person. Therefore, to me, she was merely someone who had existed in the past. Her corpse, at least, had provided some help, telling me that there were likely still

living people within this residential area.

In fact, that's what I had thought before entering. In this villa district, every villa was a detached house with its own yard.

The population was small, and there were high

walls outside. As long as the gates were locked during the virus outbreak, each villa would be a place to survive.

Coupled with the obstruction of the high walls, there was no
