Hunting Outside

A piercing wail echoed through the empty hallway.

The Female Zombie was in the room below Lin Dong's, since that was where she had lived before she died.

The door was slightly ajar, leaving a narrow crack.

The crying came from inside.

Lin Dong pushed the door open and found the Female Zombie kneeling in the living room with her back to him, her shoulders constantly shaking with sobs.

"Boohoohoo~~ Boohoohoo~~ Boohooooooooo~~~"

But the Female Zombie's hearing was sharp. The faint sound of the door opening had already startled her.

"Roar—"

Her flexible neck twisted a full one hundred and eighty degrees. Her face was savage as she let out a roar, seemingly about to attack at any moment.

But when she saw that Lin Dong was standing in the doorway, her roar came to an abrupt halt. Her originally ferocious expression turned fawning, even somewhat pitiful...

"Boohoohoo~~ Boohoohoo~~~"

The Female Zombie conveyed a message through her crying.

Lin Dong understood. Translated, it meant: I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry...

Every sob expressed those three words.

"Glutton..."

She clearly ate flesh and blood today. The other two underlings aren't hungry, yet she's here crying!

"Boohoohoo~~"

The Female Zombie seemed to understand what he meant. She lowered her head awkwardly and let out an ingratiating sob.

Lin Dong did not make a fuss over it. With a casual flick of his hand, he tossed out a corpse.

It was the thug he had killed earlier.

At the sight of fresh flesh and blood, the Female Zombie immediately became excited.

"Hehehehehehehehehehe..."

Her eyes widened, and an extremely eerie laugh came from her mouth. Then she rushed toward the corpse at lightning speed, opening her mouth to tear off a chunk of flesh.

It seemed the Female Zombie could not only cry, but laugh as well.

And her sinister laughter was even more terrifying than her crying!

Lin Dong also noticed that the Female Zombie ran incredibly fast. Her sturdy, rounded thighs left behind streaks of afterimages.

Worthy of an athlete's talent...

As the Female Zombie chomped away, a bloody stench filled the room, accompanied by the endless sounds of chewing and tearing.

The sight of feeding a zombie was utterly bizarre.

If an ordinary person saw it, they would be scared half to death!

"Eat by yourself. It stinks..."

Lin Dong turned and left.

He had just showered and did not want to get the smell of blood on himself. It was like eating hot pot or spicy soup—your clothes would end up reeking afterward...

As for the Doctor Zombie and the Fitness Coach Zombie,

they were both in the room next door.

Neither of them made any noise, and Lin Dong had not deliberately fed them.

This was probably...

the zombie that cried got the meat.

Back in his room, Lin Dong sat on the sofa and began to calculate.

He could not keep living off his reserves forever.

Although there was still a huge amount of flesh and blood in his storage space,

one day, it would all be used up.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, supplies were relatively easy to acquire. After a while, they would become completely scarce.

Lin Dong felt that he should go out and replenish his supplies.

So he picked up his phone and opened WeChat.

He immediately found Xu Shan.

Xu Shan had already sent him many messages in the chat window. Lin Dong had never replied, and there were even missed calls.

"Honey, how are you? Why aren't you answering my calls?"

"Boohoohoo, are you okay? I'm really worried about you."

"Please... please reply to me soon!"

"You mustn't let anything happen to you!"

"Boohoohoo~~ Answer my call already. I really miss you. Bring some supplies and come find me."

"..."

There were several more messages like that.

Xu Shan really had been worried sick...

Only then did Lin Dong finally send a reply.

"I'm still here."

Before long, the words "typing..." appeared above.

Xu Shan replied.

"You're alive! That's wonderful!!! Why didn't you answer my calls? I was so worried about you!"

"There are zombies all around me right now. I was afraid answering the phone would alert them, so I put it on silent."

Lin Dong was not lying, because he really was surrounded by zombies...

Xu Shan continued.

"I really miss you. Whether you're dead or alive, I want to see you at least once. Can you come find me?"

"Sure. I'll come find you tomorrow."

Lin Dong replied.

"Mhm, mhm!"

Xu Shan seemed extremely excited. "I'll be waiting for you in my dorm at school. You have to come! Try to bring as much food as possible. We have to survive!"

"Okay."

The corner of Lin Dong's lips curled upward, and a cruel gleam flashed through his eyes.

He could go collect some "supplies."

Early the next morning.

Lin Dong changed into a clean set of athletic clothes and looked in the mirror. There was no expression on his handsome face.

He had become a zombie while retaining his human consciousness, but the changes to his body had affected him somewhat. His emotions had become colder and more numb than those of an ordinary person. As a result, he appeared calm and composed.

He went downstairs.

A medium box truck was parked by the street. It was the one he had previously used to haul goods for the supermarket.

He climbed into the driver's seat.

Then he sent a signal to his three underlings that they were heading out to "hunt."

Roars immediately rang out from the building.

The Female Zombie was the fastest. Like a gust of wind, she raced down while emitting her eerie "hehehe" laughter, her face filled with excitement.

After running down more than a dozen floors, she apparently still found it too slow and smashed through a hallway window.

She leaped down from above, landed lightly without suffering any injury, then climbed into Lin Dong's cargo compartment.

The Fitness Coach Zombie was the second to appear. His body had become even more muscular, his muscles swollen to an exaggerated degree. His skin was pale gray, veins bulging all over him, and he stood nearly two meters tall.

Built like a bull, every step he took made the ground seem to tremble.

Because the apartment entrance was only half open and could no longer accommodate his size, the Fitness Coach Zombie smashed through the door and charged out, incredibly violent.

Seeing the way he barreled around, Lin Dong gave him a nickname—Tank!

After Tank got into the truck,

the Doctor Zombie came out last.

He was not fast, but neither was he rushed. He seemed rather calm, and after getting into the truck, he actually took the initiative to close the cargo door...

Lin Dong floored the accelerator.

The box truck had plenty of horsepower and sped onto the street. Whether it was zombies or abandoned vehicles on the road, they were sent flying or simply crushed beneath the wheels.

The passing zombies were disturbed and let out a series of roars, but since they were all zombies, they did not attack.

Lin Dong drove straight toward Jiangbei University.

Because they were heading out to "hunt," the Female Zombie in the cargo compartment was very excited and occasionally let out a hehehe laugh.

But Tank, the Fitness Coach Zombie, had low intelligence and was utterly confused...

Didn't they say they were going hunting? Why was he being made to stay inside this "black box"?

Lin Dong drove brutally, constantly smashing obstacles aside.

The truck jolted violently, and Tank was heavy with great inertia, so he was often thrown around in every direction.

Fortunately, it was not long before

Lin Dong arrived at Jiangbei University. Quite a few zombies wandered around near the entrance.

Lin Dong ran them straight over and drove directly to the foot of the women's dormitory building.

The three zombie underlings jumped out of the cargo compartment.

Tank was finally free. His savage eyes swept over the surroundings, and he discovered that the scenery had changed completely from before he entered the "black box."

With his current intelligence, he naturally could not understand what had happened.

Could it be... that entering the "black box" lets you change locations?

"Roar—"

After figuring it out, Tank threw back his head and let out an earth-shaking roar.

The roar shook heaven and earth, shattering the windows of the surrounding women's dormitory buildings. The nearby low-level zombies were terrified and retreated one after another.

Lin Dong was startled as well and turned to look at him.

"What are you roaring for?"

"Roar roar roar! I don't know what I'm roaring for either!!!"

Tank roared, indicating that he was equally confused.

... Lin Dong was speechless. What an idiot...
