My Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey After Becoming a Beautiful Girl

Wait! Something's wrong! Why... why are there suddenly more noises downstairs again...

The same footsteps! The same low breathing sounds!!

Holding my breath, I listened to the sounds entering my ears...

One, two, three... no! At least five... seven, eight?

What's going on! Why is this happening?

Why are these zombies all starting to come upstairs for no reason?

I didn't make a sound! There's nothing else that could attract zombies!

Wait! Wait! Calm down, think carefully!

Why is this happening!

Did I make a sound? -- No! I didn't make a sound, even if I was in a hurry to get upstairs to stop the helicopter, I didn't

make loud footsteps, because

From the moment I left the house, I've been on guard.

Was it the helicopter's sound? -- That's not right either! The helicopter has already flown far away. If logic holds, these zombies should turn

around and go downstairs!!

Then what is it!!!

As I was thinking this, I suddenly felt... that sticky feeling that had been bothering me for two whole days, slowly flowing out from below...

Blood!!

Chapter 50: This is a Debuff

"It's blood!!"

It was my period, which had been worrying me sick these past few days, that decided to launch a surprise attack at this critical moment!!

Completely unexpected... No! I should have subconsciously ignored it!

Was it a subconscious rejection of my transformation?! Or...

No! Now is not the time to think about these things!!

The footsteps below approached step by step. Even though it was a bright sunny morning, I still got goosebumps all over! The air after the rain

carried a damp chill that surged in through the windows in the stairwell, instantly giving me a sense of coldness.

What should I do?

Should I act? But if I act, and that zombie lets out a shout, I'm dead for sure!! The number of zombies gathered downstairs these past few days is not small. Although

I haven't looked closely, there are at least thirty or forty of them!

If I get surrounded by such a group of zombies in the narrow stairwell, with no way to create distance, I absolutely won't be able to escape!

The footsteps drew closer, and the breathing sounds became clearer. It was a... sound similar to snoring, but not from the nasal cavity, but from a completely weak trachea.

A hoarse, eerie sound!

Torn, I watched as the head, completely devoid of scalp, that was gradually coming into view... emerged from the corner!

Should I act?!

Should I not act!?

What! What should I do?!

I don't want to act... because once I start, I'll have to activate supernatural mode... in a state of near collapse, I still have to find shoes and receive airdropped items. It's too dangerous!!

But! Now... I have no choice!!

Calm down... concentrate my attention... Yes... yes!

It's this...

The 'buzz~' sound in my ears only lasted for a second. The next instant, that feeling completely disappeared, leaving only the approaching footsteps in my ears

and the heavy breathing that seemed to echo beside me!!

'It didn't go in!!! Supernatural mode didn't activate!! Why! This is...'

Suddenly, a sharp, unusual pain shot through my lower abdomen! Instinctively, I placed my hand there, my legs buckling, nearly collapsing to the ground!

"Ugh..."

This pain came out of nowhere! And... the stabbing sensation was so intense, I had no defense against it. It hurt so much I let out a groan.

The zombie that had caught my eye suddenly turned its head. Its eyes were blood red, its face devoid of skin, staring directly at me. The way it looked at me, like I was prey, sent a chill down my spine!

"Crap!!"

I blurted out instinctively. Immediately, a dozen responding sounds echoed through the stairwell. The entire hallway was filled with the roars of zombies!

Run!

There was no other choice!

Without the ability to activate supernatural mode, I stood no chance fighting so many zombies in this narrow stairwell!

I turned to run. But! The pain in my abdomen made me pause instinctively. In that split second, the zombie was already behind me, grabbing onto my knife belt!

"!! Here!!"

Feeling the strain on the knife belt, I grabbed the buckle. Almost on instinct, I unfastened the clasp!

"Roar!!"

The zombie, clutching the knife belt, started gnawing at it. Seizing the opportunity, I scrambled madly up the stairs. Luckily, I had already grabbed my saber, otherwise... I'd be dead right now...

Now wasn't the time to think about that!

In the blink of an eye, I reached the corner of the fourth floor and, without looking back, charged up to the fifth! I was so glad I hadn't thrown the ladder aside when I went up to chase the helicopter earlier!

I grabbed the ladder, ignoring the pain in my abdomen. My legs could barely support me. I shoved the saber into my mouth, biting down on the hilt, and climbed frantically upwards!

The strength in my arms felt like it had vanished. My body felt unusually heavy... My strength had decreased!

Could this be a "benefit" of my period?!

As I strained to pull myself up with my arms, I glanced back down. The zombie was fast. Although it paused at the corner, its speed, nearly that of a running human, allowed it to charge up and roar, lunging at the ladder I was on!

No time!

Above me on the ladder were metal rods fixed into the concrete, like iron bars bent and inserted into the wall!

And below... the zombie had already grabbed the ladder...

No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die like this, in the jaws of a zombie!

"Arghhh!!!"

With all my might, ignoring the pain in my abdomen, I jumped on the ladder!

"Snap!"

My left hand missed... hitting the concrete wall!

"Ahhhh!!"

Shouting, I stretched my right hand out with all my strength. Finally... just as I was falling, my fingers latched onto the lowest iron bar!

"Arghhh!!!"

...Pain!

My fingers felt like they were tearing apart!

And beneath my feet... I'd kicked the ladder away... The saber in my mouth fell into the stairwell, making a "clang clang~" metallic sound as it slid down the stairs, all the way to the landing between the fifth and fourth floors...

And the zombies below... were constantly jumping upwards, trying to grab my feet!!

Can't... can't let go! If I let go... I won't just fall into the mouth of one zombie!!

At the landing on the fourth floor, five or six zombies appeared, roaring as they charged up, immediately knocking the jumping zombie away!

The next second... one of the zombies leaped up fiercely, directly grabbing my pant leg!!!

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

The tearing pain in my fingers made me groan aloud. How I wanted to let go with my fingers... Only my index and middle fingers were hooked onto the iron bar!!

Two fingers had to support the weight of two people, not to mention! This zombie was trying to drag me into hell!!

"Ahhhhhh!! I bought a watch last year!!!!"

I poured all my strength! Into those two fingers. At this point, I couldn't care if my fingers actually broke!!

I could only use all my might to pull myself upwards!!
