The Model Couple

Creak. When the shrine gates were pushed open, they made a very faint sound.

They had already reached the shrine grounds. Logically, the zombies should not have come this far, yet when they opened the gates, they found dozens of zombies gathered on the steps.

Had the wind rustling the leaves in the shrine trees drawn them here?

However, as Saeko looked at the zombies, her violet eyes reflected excitement—completely undisguised excitement.

If one looked more closely, one could see a faint blush on her cheeks.

The old Busujima Saeko would definitely have suppressed her emotions, rejected this feeling in her heart, and felt ashamed of her violent nature.

But after one night, with Lin Feng's guidance, she had already come to accept her unusual desires.

After becoming Lin Feng's woman, the opinions of those outsiders no longer affected her in the slightest.

The zombies immediately went wild upon hearing the sound and charged toward Busujima Saeko.

They let out terrifying, guttural howls as they rushed over. Among them were several elementary school zombie children. They were the little zombies that had shattered Saeko's resolve yesterday.

But at this moment.

Slash! Saeko did not hesitate or waver. Her sharp katana swept directly across a little zombie's neck. Black blood drew an arc through the air. The grotesque head spun through the air before finally landing on the cobblestone path.

Watching the zombie's head rise with her blade, Saeko smiled. "I'm truly so happy!"

"This is the feeling."

Her face was flushed. Every swing of her sword came from instinct, and every strike was precise and fatal.

Very soon, dozens of zombies fell at Saeko's feet, their filthy blood staining the entire shrine.

Saeko herself was exhilarated beyond measure.

That was right, this was the feeling—using violence to her heart's content in front of the person she liked.

She could feel her entire body burning, her blood racing through her veins.

That irresistible feeling had already made her wet!!!

Half an hour later,

Lin Feng held Saeko's hand as they crossed the wire fence. In the distance, the Takagi family mansion was faintly visible.

The two guards keeping watch beside the large iron gate raised their rifles when they saw them approach. But upon noticing Lin Feng's baseball bat and Saeko's katana, they did not become overly wary.

"Who are you?"

"We're Takagi Saya's good friends, Lin Feng and Busujima Saeko."

The guards did not show excessive suspicion toward the two high school students. After checking them for bite wounds,

they reported to the main residence through the radio. Once their identities were confirmed, they opened the gates and let them in.

Takashiro Soichiro truly deserved to be the leader of the largest right-wing force in Bed Master City. Not only was his residence enormous, but its defenses were also extremely comprehensive.

If not for the EMP attack destroying all the electrical equipment throughout the estate, and Wisteria Koichi sabotaging the roadblocks, this place could have held out for a long time. It might even have become the largest survivor gathering place in the Bed Master district.

The moment Lin Feng and Busujima Saeko arrived at the villa entrance, a group of familiar faces came up to greet them.

"That makes three already."

Miyamoto Rei watched Lin Feng approach while holding Busujima Saeko's hand and muttered to herself. Such a powerful upperclassman.

In just one night, that nearly perfect upperclassman... had already thrown herself into Feng's arms? Saeko... what was she supposed to do now?

Miyamoto Rei helplessly went forward to greet Lin Feng. Even though her man was openly cheating on her and holding another woman's hand, she still kept smiling.

Seeing Miyamoto Rei approach with a bright smile on her face, Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. Walking in while holding Saeko's hand was no different from coming clean to the girl. He had already prepared himself for her tears and tantrum.

Yet even though Miyamoto Rei clearly knew Lin Feng had cheated, she still smiled and nervously stepped forward to check on his condition.

Sure enough, Miyamoto Rei frowned and could not help stepping closer. She saw the red hickeys beneath his collar. Those marks could only have been left by Saeko.

However, Miyamoto Rei did not show much dissatisfaction. Or rather, she did nothing at all. She merely shot Lin Feng a resentful glare, then pulled up his collar and fastened the buttons.

After doing that, she actually bowed to Busujima Saeko.

"Thank you so much, Busujima-senpai. Feng must have returned safely because of you."

Miyamoto Rei's smile was adorable and innocent, filled with all the beauty of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"No, no. Rather, Feng helped me a great deal."

Saeko took a step back and said this with a blush. It was only then that she realized she was still holding Lin Feng's hand. Flustered, she quickly pulled her hand away from his.

The moment Saeko saw Miyamoto Rei, she realized something very important.

That was—

Lin Feng was her junior Miyamoto Rei's boyfriend. Yet she had just been holding another girl's boyfriend's hand!

They entered the Takagi residence, where the countless rooms formed a giant maze.

After Lin Feng and the others arrived at the villa's reception room, they saw an exquisite arrangement that was both artistic and elegant. Calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls. Lin Feng could not appreciate them, but judging from the forceful brushwork, they were clearly not cheap.

A dressed-up Takagi Saya came walking over in round leather boots, the heels clicking against the floor.

Looking at the girl before him, whose black dress made her appear cold, glamorous, and noble, Lin Feng could not help focusing all his attention on the tsundere.

"Heh—" She gave a soft laugh, then smiled as well. If Lin Feng had not been there, she probably would have ended up exactly as her parents had feared—eaten by zombies before she could even escape the school.

Seeing Lin Feng return safely, Saya had originally wanted to step forward and ask after him.

But when she saw him sitting on the sofa with women in both arms, the corner of her eye twitched. He had actually won over Busujima-senpai in a single night.

"Damn it!" This guy was thriving in the apocalypse. Aside from herself and Alice, every woman around him had fallen into his hands.

Yes, Takagi Saya was a genius. All it took was one glance for her to understand most of Lin Feng's little affairs.

Suppressing her inexplicable anger, Saya walked to the window. Looking at the survivors coming and going outside, she said seriously,

"Listen carefully, Lin Feng. We need to have a proper talk about what comes next!"

"Talk about what?" Sensing the seriousness in the girl's tone, Lin Feng rose from the sofa.

Takagi Saya adjusted her glasses and said with an unfathomable expression, "Whether we'll still be partners from now on."

"Saya, no matter what happens, we'll obviously still be partners." Naturally dumb Kikukawa Shizuka did not think too deeply about it and spoke directly.

"We've now joined a stronger and more united group." Takagi Saya looked at the orderly workers outside and the guards patrolling by the fence, her expression dark. "We only have two paths now: either separate from them, or be swallowed up."

"Is there really a need to separate? The situation outside keeps getting worse!" Miyamoto Rei voiced her doubts. In her view, it would be difficult to find any place safer than this.

"And your father is very capable. He can organize so many people; he truly deserves to be the head of a great family.

Your mother is amazing too. Even though she's a woman, she can still lead teams out to rescue survivors."

"That's right! My parents are the best." Rather than showing the pride she should have felt after hearing Miyamoto Rei praise her parents, Takagi Saya's expression became even uglier.

After returning home, Takagi Saya had learned from the servants that the moment her parents heard about the man-eating incidents, they had immediately acted to protect their subordinates and their families.

Of course, they had not forgotten their daughter.

Rather, they had thought of her first—and then given up on Takagi Saya.

"Amazing! Truly amazing!

Just as expected of my father and mother!

Because they thought rescuing me from the high school was practically impossible, they simply gave up on me! What incredible parents!"

"Takagi!" Seeing the girl on the verge of breaking down, Lin Feng did not try to correct her or say something like, "At least your parents are alive. They're doing better than everyone else."

Instead, he grabbed Takagi Saya's little hand as it kept waving about, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her head like he was soothing an injured kitten.

"I understand. I understand what it feels like to be abandoned by your parents!" The moment Takagi was pulled into Lin Feng's arms, a blush appeared on her face. Yet Lin Feng continued, "In that case, we'll annex the base your parents worked so hard to build, take everything from them, and make them understand what a terrible mistake it was to abandon their daughter!"

"Idiot. Only an arrogant fool would say something like that."

Takagi Saya smiled slightly at Lin Feng's words.

Seizing power was practically impossible. Her father was the Old Bed Master Clan Lord, the head of the Heavenly Dao Solemn Style, and the current head of the Takagi family—a man who held everything firmly in his own hands.

But... but she truly wanted to prove herself...

The roar of cars sounded outside the window...

Her father, as stubborn and old-fashioned as a boulder, had returned. But aside from his subordinates, Takashiro Soichiro had brought back someone special.

Model Couple

"Gather all the survivors!"

Takashiro Soichiro's voice was deep and powerful.

His face carried a murderous sternness that allowed no resistance.

Then Lin Feng noticed that the tall, even burly man cast a glance in their direction with his scarred face. When his gaze swept over Saya's face, it paused for a second before withdrawing. He clearly had no intention of coming over to speak.

Lin Feng did not need to guess that this man was Takagi Saya's father.

Thinking this, he could not help glancing at Saya. She remained expressionless. "Open your eyes and watch carefully. Then you'll understand what kind of existence you'll be facing."

"Hmph!" Lin Feng chuckled softly.

He studied Takagi Saya's father outside—Takashiro Soichiro. The man was tall and powerfully built. His dark skin, cold eyes, and the obvious scar on his face all proclaimed that he was an extremely dangerous man.

Takashiro Soichiro wore a black military uniform, with a long Japanese sword hanging at his waist. He walked steadily onto the platform, apparently intending to do something.

His subordinates also received orders and kept the curious survivors outside the viewing area.

Those survivors did not know what this dictator intended to do.

After the outbreak of the zombie virus, they had received Takashiro Soichiro's protection. Yet after arriving at the Takagi residence, they had been confined to the camp, forbidden from leaving, and denied freedom of speech.

What they saw now was an iron cage in front of the platform, with a man in a black uniform locked inside.

The skin all over his body had turned black. There was no light in his cloudy pupils, and he unconsciously made guttural "urgh, urgh, urgh" sounds while slamming both hands against the iron cage.

There was no doubt that the man had become a zombie. But locked inside the cage, the zombie posed no threat at all.

Clang!

Takashiro Soichiro drew the Japanese sword from his waist, casually tossed the scabbard to the ground, and pointed the blade at the zombie inside the cage.

"Everyone! This man's name is Doi Tetsutaro.

He was an old retainer who served the Takagi family, and he was also my good friend!"

Takashiro Soichiro's voice was so powerful that it drowned out all the noise at the scene.

There was little expression on his face as he calmly recounted what had happened. "Today, during the rescue operation, he was bitten by a zombie while saving someone.

This ultimate act of self-sacrifice is one of the noblest qualities a person can possess.

However!

He is no longer human.

He has become something that endangers humanity!"

After two subordinates with pistols at their waists saw their leader's gaze,

they immediately opened the cage. Once the zombie inside was released, it charged straight toward Takashiro Soichiro, who was speaking before it.

Some women among the survivors screamed in terror. Yet Takashiro Soichiro showed no panic as he faced the charging zombie. He raised his sword high, then carved a cold flash through the air and slashed at the zombie's neck.

Aahhh!

Even more screams erupted from the crowd because the zombie's head had been severed, even flying into the crowd. This gruesome, adults-only scene made many survivors begin to fear the violent head of the household.

"This is the environment we live in now!

Even if they were once close friends, beloved family,

or lovers, once they become zombies,

we must defeat them without hesitation!

If we want to survive, we must fight!"

"How could you just kill him like that... There might still have been a chance to save him."

An older woman in a purple floral shirt with short hair was deeply dissatisfied with Takashiro Soichiro's actions.
