Early morning.

Autumn Blade Slashes Fish, also known as He Mingxuan, woke up in a daze. He breathed onto his palm and sniffed it; it didn't smell too bad.

He didn't brush his teeth or wash his face. He simply stood before the toilet, looked down at his potbelly, and habitually held himself while he relieved his bladder.

His frame was large, the sound of the stream was faint, and the duration was short; he finished quickly.

He walked to the balcony and looked toward the second floor of the building opposite. The beautiful woman was still looking at him, holding up some vegetables to show him, which made He Mingxuan's mouth water.

It wasn't that he felt an impulse toward the beauty.

It was just that he hadn't eaten in several days, and he was only thinking about eating some delicious vegetables—though having meat would be even better.

The beauty held her proud chest up with both hands.

She was thinking of creating a stimulating visual effect for He Mingxuan.

But He Mingxuan was only interested in food.

"I cannot sit here and wait for death. I must leave this place and get to her side. There is food there, things to eat; it will definitely be enough to sustain me for a long time."

He Mingxuan kept brainwashing himself.

He tried to muster up his courage.

To rush out from here and reach the other side.

The apocalypse had descended, zombies were running rampant, and there was no hope and no future. If the zombies could have been wiped out, they would have been long ago; it wouldn't have waited until this moment.

He observed the movement downstairs.

He wanted to see where the zombies were. Perhaps he was lucky, for he didn't see any.

He hesitated in his heart.

"Should I really take the risk?"

He Mingxuan knew the current situation: only by rushing out and running to the second floor opposite could he have any hope of continuing to live. Furthermore, his physical strength was still in decent shape; he could run, move, swing, and slash.

If he continued to hold out for a few more days without any food replenishment, he would become increasingly weak. By then, even if he wanted to run, he wouldn't have the ability to do so.

Should he take the risk or not?

He kept asking himself.

"If I can successfully reach the second floor over there, I will have food, and I will also have a beautiful woman."

Perhaps it was the thought of a bright future.

He Mingxuan went to the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and prepared to take the risk.

As he left, he carefully checked the surroundings again. After confirming there were still no zombies in sight, he gathered his courage, peered through the peephole to check the situation outside, and once he was certain it was safe, he opened the security door with light steps and took a deep breath before slowly heading down the stairs.

He didn't dare to close the door.

If he encountered a zombie, he would still have a chance to run back, enter the room at the first opportunity, and lock the door immediately.

The staircase, which usually took less than a minute, felt like it took a century to traverse.

He snuck glances at his surroundings; there was so much blood and so many corpses on the ground. He vaguely remembered how terrifying the scene had been when the apocalypse first descended.

Everyone had been running.

Many people were tackled to the ground by zombies and torn apart frantically.

The sight had left him trembling with fear.

It felt as if the end of the world had truly arrived.

After hiding at the stairwell for half a minute, He Mingxuan crept out. Breathing in the fresh air and reaching the ground floor made him feel energized.

He didn't dare make a sound.

He also kept his eyes fixed on the dark corners, terrified that a zombie might charge out. His hand gripping the kitchen knife was tense; even though he hadn't swung or exerted any force, his palm was already drenched in sweat.

Around the corner was the path leading to the building opposite.

"No zombies, no zombies."

He Mingxuan prayed in his heart.

He pressed himself against the wall and slowly poked half his head out to look at the situation outside. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; the residential complex road was empty, and there wasn't a single zombie.

For He Mingxuan, the short journey had been a true torture because of the potential existence of zombies.

"There are no zombies in the complex. It's very likely that the commotion outside drew them away. After all, so many days have passed, and zombies need to replenish their 'sustenance' too."

He Mingxuan figured out this possibility.

He couldn't help but relax.

Of course, this was a mental relaxation, not a lapse in his focus.

"Damn it, if I had known there weren't that many zombies, I would have come out long ago instead of waiting until now."

He Mingxuan quickened his pace. The second floor—as long as he reached the second floor, he would be safe.

There was food there.

And there were beauties who always tempted him.

Thinking about having food and the company of beauties in the apocalypse made his heart race wildly. He was so damn excited that even his little worm stirred a few times, signaling its enthusiasm.

Just then.

"Roar!"

A low, guttural growl.

The sound came from behind.

He Mingxuan turned his head nervously to look. A zombie was wobbling out from around the corner, looking dull-eyed and stiff in its movements.

The moment it saw him.

The zombie's eyes lit up, and it roared with excitement, charging toward him rapidly.

"Damn it..."

He Mingxuan was so scared he took off running. His obese frame didn't allow for much speed, but fortunately, he was far enough away that he was confident he could reach the second floor before the zombie caught up.

This was the kind of zombie he feared most.

Great strength, high speed, and keen hearing.

If he truly encountered one, it was a dead end.

As the zombie's roar erupted.

The surrounding zombies seemed to understand, emerging from all directions and chasing toward He Mingxuan.

Head down and running for his life, He Mingxuan didn't dare to pause.

He only hoped that the woman wasn't playing games with him.

If she didn't open the door.

He would truly have no way out but death.

He lunged into the stairwell.

He Mingxuan, who had never felt himself run so fast, took the stairs two at a time and reached the second floor in the blink of an eye.

He saw hope.

That door was open.

The woman was standing at the threshold, waiting for him.

Hope surged into his heart, and his fat trembled with excitement.

Bang!

He successfully rushed into the room.

The woman hurriedly shut the door.

A moment later.

They could hear the footsteps of zombies outside, but since the zombies hadn't seen which room He Mingxuan entered, they could only continue to wander.

He Mingxuan was just about to speak.

"Shh..." The woman signaled for him to be quiet. She stood silently by the door, listening to the movements outside. After a long while, the sounds of the zombies faded, as if they had left down the stairwell.

Only then did she look at He Mingxuan. "My name is Ren Jiali. What is your name?"

"He Mingxuan."

Autumn Blade Slashes Fish He Mingxuan sized up the woman before him. Earlier, from a distance, he could only see a vague silhouette, but now he could see that she was truly beautiful with a fantastic figure. With this setup, as long as there were enough supplies, he could stay in bed with this girl forever.

He was currently thinking about one thing.

Should he go for it directly, or should he cultivate some feelings first? For instance, spend a few hours having a nice chat with the girl, and then move to the bed for some in-depth communication.

Suddenly.

The sound of a door opening reached them.

It startled He Mingxuan, who thought it was a zombie and nearly grabbed a kitchen knife to defend himself.

But when he saw a shirtless, tall, muscular man walk out of the room, he was completely stunned.

Damn!

There was actually another man.

A man with thick chest hair.

Doesn't that mean... this woman already belonged to someone else, and she had absolutely nothing to do with him?

Damn!

A sense of regret welled up in his heart.

But wait...

Why was this man staring at him the moment he appeared, and with such an aggressive gaze, as if he were sizing up some kind of prey?

For some reason.

Autumn Blade Slashes Fish thought of a news story from abroad.

Two thieves broke into a homeowner's house, only to find that the owner was a burly, hardcore gay man who held them captive for five days for his own amusement; by the time the police rescued them, the two thieves were sent straight to the proctology department.

"He is my brother, Ren Yan."

The beautiful woman's single sentence pulled He Mingxuan out of despair.

So it's her brother.

Then I still have a chance.

He was already fantasizing about the scene of his own fat body pinning the beauty underneath him.

Ren Yan looked at He Mingxuan, licking his lips as he approached him. His strong, towering frame formed a sharp contrast with He Mingxuan, making the somewhat chubby He Mingxuan look like a pudgy child in front of him.

"Come, follow me into the room. I have something to say to you."

Ren Yan draped an arm over He Mingxuan's shoulder.

He Mingxuan appeared dazed, finding himself following along involuntarily.

A powerful hand gently rubbed his waist, constantly moving downward, a sensation that made him shudder with fear.

"What are you doing?"

Ren Yan gave a wicked smile. "Fucking you."

Bam!

The door slammed shut.

Sounds of a struggle drifted from inside, as if someone were beating a child.

The woman shook her head.

"Sigh, this wretched apocalypse has left my brother so starved for affection. This guy is the only one left in the whole complex, and even though he's so ugly, my brother is still interested..."

She shook her head, feeling quite helpless.

In the past, the people her brother brought home were always tender young things.

Thinking of her brother's sadistic desire to torment others.

She felt a sense of pity in her heart for this fatty named He Mingxuan.

He was truly going to become her brother's plaything.

PS: I want to mold Autumn Blade Slashes Fish into an overlord of the apocalypse, a butcher, a man who stands tall and symbolizes the unyielding spirit of humanity. But every successful person must endure hardships, hmm... nothing wrong with that. Fish, what do you think of this character?
