nThe man’s scream of pain pierced through Li Ran’s eardrums, all the way to the depths of her brain.
n
n
nThey were already quite a distance from the house, but Li Ran could still vaguely hear the zombies’ biting sound. She could even picture what was happening.
n
n“Don’t think about it. We’ll face situations like these sooner or later. There’s nothing we can do. Besides, that person was not a good person. He would be in jail if we still had a normal society,” Cui Chong said calmly.
n
n
nHe was already immune to it.
n“You sure adapt quickly.”
n
n
nHearing that, Cui Chong let out a bitter laugh.
nHe took a deep breath and said through his clenched teeth, “Thank you for the compliment, even if it’s ironic.”
nLi Ran was about to walk further when Cui Chong pulled her back.
n
n
nThere were at least ten zombies wandering around the area.
nThey were trapped in a terrible position.
n“Let’s retreat and find a place to hide,” Li Ran said while holding her composure.
nIf something bad happened, she could still escape to the mysterious space.
n
n
nHowever, that was not an option for Cui Chong.
nHe had saved her. She felt that he might be a little bit cold-blooded, but she could not just stand by if he got into trouble.
n“Okay.”
nCui Chong pursed his lips and turned around with a sullen face.
nThey found a large room with an enormous amount of shelves. The shelves were quite empty, not many goods were left. Therefore, the surroundings could be seen clearly.
nWhen Li Ran looked back, she saw a bloody scene.
n
n
nA person had been torn into pieces by the zombies. Bloody pieces of meat could be seen everywhere. It made Li Ran nauseous.
nShe could barely control herself from vomiting.
nCui Chong dragged Li Ran to the corner of the room. He was trying to figure out how he could escape this situation with a woman.
nHe had been in difficult situations before.
nHowever, before this, he was always alone. It was relatively easier for him to escape by himself.
nWith the addition of another person, things got complicated.
nCui Chong looked at Li Ran with a serious expression but he did not say a word.
nIt made Li Ran feel uncomfortable. His gaze was no longer as friendly as before. Her heart was pounding.
n“Don’t panic. We just have to hold on. We will be saved soon.”
nLi Ran tried to comfort him.
nCui Chong pretended to be relaxed and nodded.
nHe smiled bitterly and said, “Unfortunately, we seemed to have been discovered.”
nThen, Cui Chong stood up.
nLi Ran was startled. She quickly stood up as well and looked around.
nThere were zombies who were slowly walking towards them.
nThey came through the back door while more were coming from the front door.
nLi Ran dug her nails into her flesh. She was trying to come up with a plan. Maybe if she acted as bait, she could lure the zombies away. It would give Cui Chong an opportunity to run away. After that, she could just hide in the mysterious space.
n‘It will work.’
nJust as Li Ran was about to say something…
nShe was suddenly pushed. Her body hit one of the shelves. The loud noise attracted the zombies. They were now all rushing towards her.
nLi Ran fell to the ground. She did not have time to run away.
nOn the other hand, Cui Cong ran out without any hesitation.
n…
nLi Ran laughed at herself.
nThe zombies bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they charged at her. Some of the zombies had intestines stuck to their bodies while their hands were covered in blood.
nThey could not resist the temptation that was living humans.
nCui Chong glanced back and saw that Li Ran was completely surrounded by zombies.
nIt would be impossible for her to escape.
nHe took this opportunity to save himself and dashed off.
nLin Nan and Fang Lin happened to see this scene.
nFang Lin tightened his grip on his gun. Just as he was about to shoot, Lin Nan rushed like a bolt of lightning towards the crowd of zombies.
n…
n“F*ck! What is he doing?”
nFang Lin followed Lin Nan, feeling very irritated. He took out his military knife which was located in his back pocket and killed every zombie he came across.
nThe zombies’ weak spot was their heads.
nThere was still a glimmer of hope to save Li Ran.
nLin Nan’s eyes were burning with anger.
nHe did not even bother to utter a single word.
nHis only goal was to kill all these zombies!
