The Male and Female Leads Appear

When she saw Qi Xing cut his hand with a knife, Jiang Zhaosu's eyes nearly popped out.

Her gaze darted uncertainly over Qi Xing's beautiful face, which was full of smiles.

Did the sun rise in the west today? Why was this man suddenly being so nice?

Something abnormal was definitely a trap.

Qi Xing must be testing her!

Maybe the moment she licked it, Qi Xing would immediately shave her head with a dagger.

The instant Jiang Zhaosu imagined that scene, a chill ran down her spine, and she quickly shook her little head.

As an exceptionally intelligent little zombie, not only was she not tempted by Qi Xing's blood, she even cautiously took two steps back.

Seemingly noticing her hesitation, Qi Xing said, "Oh, what are you afraid of?"

"Big brother's in a good mood today. What's wrong with giving you a little blood?"

Qi Xing clenched his hand into a fist, and blood carrying a sweet scent immediately flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the ground. "Look. If you don't drink it, it'll go to waste."

Jiang Zhaosu still shook her head, showing that she absolutely would not be tempted by sugar-coated bullets.

"Tch. Boring."

Seeing that she would not take the bait, Qi Xing opened his hand again.

A faint green glow emanated from the man's fair, clean palm, and the shallow wound quickly healed.

Qi Xing wiped his hand with a cloth, rose from his chair, and walked over to her. He picked her up in his arms again. "Come on. Big brother will take you outside to find something to eat."

This place was near the mountains, and Mutated Animals often spawned in the fields. The human and the zombie sneaked outside the village and killed two Mutated Rabbits.

Jiang Zhaosu wolfed down the Mutated Rabbits. Her skin and flesh gradually regained the soft elasticity of a human's, though her complexion remained somewhat pale.

The following evening, the rumored man and woman finally passed through this place.

The protagonists' entrance really was different.

The moment Cen Jiao and Pei Chixuan appeared, they arrived in an incredibly stylish Military SUV. The entire vehicle was made of military-grade materials, with bulletproof glass and military tires. It was sturdy and tough, and according to Cen Jiao's preferences, the whole body had been painted a creamy white.

In the apocalypse, water resources were extremely precious. Being able to wash up occasionally was already an extravagant luxury.

Yet Cen Jiao and Pei Chixuan's vehicle could be washed once a day. There was barely any mud even on the tires.

All of that was thanks to Cen Jiao's space.

As the son of an influential family, Pei Chixuan had learned some inside information before the Zombie Tide erupted in the apocalypse and began stockpiling supplies in large quantities.

People like them never lacked money or resources.

By chance, Cen Jiao awakened her Space Ability, and the two of them stockpiled enough supplies to sustain the people of an entire city for fifty years.

When the Zombie Virus broke out on a massive scale, society fell into turmoil, prices skyrocketed, and huge numbers of residents were infected with the Zombie Virus and rushed into clinics and pharmacies for help, unable to buy even a single fever reducer after emptying their pockets, the two of them possessed supplies worth tens of billions. Amid corpses strewn everywhere outside and wails of misery, they leisurely sat in their luxurious villa eating hot pot.

When Jiang Zhaosu had read this part of the novel, she had already felt uncomfortable.

Maybe she was born with the fate of a lowly commoner. Rather than experiencing the protagonists' satisfying triumph, these scenes had made her shake with rage.

If the apocalypse truly came, a little rat like her, living in a basement, would definitely never get to enjoy that kind of happy life. She would more likely be Cannon Fodder among the first batch to turn into zombies.

Sure enough, when she woke up, she had transmigrated.

When Jiang Zhaosu opened her eyes again, she saw the ash-gray sky of the apocalypse.

In her previous life, she had been a lowly citizen at the bottom of society, bullied by everyone. In this life, she would rise again and become the most powerful Zombie King!

"Hey, Fortune, why are your legs shaking?"

Her fantasy ended. Qi Xing had an arm around Jiang Zhaosu's shoulders, and even through the thick fabric of her dress, he could see her two thin little legs trembling like sieves.

The human and zombie lay on the roof, watching the military vehicle heading their way.

Damn.

She was scared!

In that novel, those two were privileged elites who could command the wind and rain. Especially Pei Chixuan—one fireball thrown by him could burn an entire zombie to a crisp.

Little Cannon Fodder like them existed only to be humiliated by the protagonists. Qi Xing, you tiny villain from eight hundred plotlines away who did not even have a name, did you understand that?!

Jiang Zhaosu trembled all over in fear, while Qi Xing continued examining Cen Jiao and Pei Chixuan's military vehicle with great interest. "This vehicle's nice. Better than a convertible. I want it."

"Once we get our hands on it, we can go for drives and run over whoever we want. When zombie and human blood splashes all over the body, it'll look like plum blossoms blooming in the snow. It'll definitely be beautiful."

Qi Xing casually delivered professional villain lines, making the already terrified Jiang Zhaosu want to run away even more. Just as she wanted to jump off the roof, Qi Xing caught her like a little chick and tucked her into his arms.

Evening was approaching, and Cen Jiao and Pei Chixuan also needed somewhere to rest. Seeing the houses here, they drove into the village.

After getting out of the vehicle, Cen Jiao's pearl-encrusted stiletto heels had barely touched the ground when the dust billowing up from the road made her cough.

Cen Jiao raised a hand. First, her fair, slender fingers elegantly adjusted the snow-white rabbit-fur shawl over her shoulders. Then she covered her mouth and complained in a delicate voice, "Pei Chixuan, what kind of awful place is this? It's gotten my dress all dirty."

She lived up to her name. Her face was delicate and alluring, her skin fair and flawless, and her peach-blossom eyes were utterly bewitching. Her beautiful features carried the pride and coquettishness of someone raised in pampered luxury. She wore a moon-white Cheongsam made of soft material, making her seem both seductive and innocent.

The novel had described her beauty as peerless, with every smile and frown overflowing with charm.

Now that Jiang Zhaosu saw her, the description truly lived up to its reputation.

Pei Chixuan came around from the other side of the vehicle. He was tall and muscular, his looks every bit as handsome as a celebrity's. He had thick eyebrows and slightly dark skin, and his entire person radiated an unruly, wild air. At a glance, he was clearly the type of bad-boy heartthrob many people loved.

"There's no helping it. My dad said there are too many Mutated Species in the mountain forests here, so he sent me to clear them out."

The frown on Pei Chixuan's face showed that he clearly disliked the environment here as well.

Cen Jiao snorted and shot him a sidelong glance. "Then you could have come by yourself. Why did you insist on making me come suffer with you?"

"Baby, you're so beautiful. How could I feel at ease leaving you alone at the base?"

Pei Chixuan's brows relaxed. He naturally wrapped an arm around Cen Jiao's slender waist, bent down, and pressed his forehead against hers. "Marry a chicken, follow a chicken; marry a dog, follow a dog. If you don't follow your husband, where else do you want to go? Hmm?"

"Who's your wife?" Cen Jiao said coyly. "Shameless."

Although Pei Chixuan was handsome and had a magnetic voice, Jiang Zhaosu, lying on the roof, still could not help dry-heaving when she heard that last line.

Damn him.

Their conversation reminded her of the couple who had treated her as part of their play in that haunted house.

If it had not been for that damned couple, she would not have died young and become this starving, monstrous thing that would not even spare rotting corpses.

"So he's Commander Pei's youngest son." Qi Xing lowered his voice as he spoke to Jiang Zhaosu. "That really is troublesome. He's not someone we can afford to provoke right now."

"Let's get down first."

As Qi Xing spoke, he held Jiang Zhaosu and leaped down from the eaves.

They were still some distance from the pair, but Pei Chixuan was exceptionally sharp.

Just as Pei Chixuan was about to kiss the beauty in his arms, he immediately raised his head and looked sharply toward the place where Qi Xing and Jiang Zhaosu had just been. "What was that sound?"

Cen Jiao, who had no idea what was happening, looked up as well and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

When Pei Chixuan spoke to her, his tone immediately softened. Taking Cen Jiao's hand, he pulled her behind him and said, "Baby, there might be zombies in this village. Stay close to me."

Although Cen Jiao possessed a powerful Space Ability, her own combat strength was not high. After hearing Pei Chixuan's words, her expression turned fearful, and she nervously hid behind him.

According to the original plan, Duan Yuanyuan, dressed in tattered clothes, rushed out from an intersection at that moment and ran crying toward them. "Help! Zombies are chasing me!"
