C33 (1/2)

After the night passed, a ray of sunlight appeared in the horizon. Wang Yi slowly opened his eyes. The person beside his pillow had disappeared. Listening to the intermittent sound of cooking from the kitchen, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.

It turned out that Lee Mei was stronger than Wang Yi had imagined.

On the seventeenth floor.

After breakfast, Wang Yi took the slightly recovered Lee Mei and began his mission for the day.

Time waits for no one when it comes to killing zombies. On one hand, Wang Yi had to use Glycosylated Meat to improve his physique, and on the other hand, he had to help Lee Mei grow faster. Not to mention helping Wang Yi, he couldn't drag Wang Yi down either.

Wang Yi put his ear to the door and listened quietly for a while before he turned to Lee Mei, who was nervously looking at him, and said.

”Lee Mei, there should be two zombies inside. First, help me restrain one zombie. After I take care of the other one, I'll come over to help you.”

”Me?

”Can I?”

Lee Mei pointed at herself as she puffed her cheeks and said unconfidently.

”I'm just trying to restrain you, not letting you kill a zombie.”

Wang Yi's expression was calm and his tone was relaxed, making Lee Mei feel that there was no danger. She nodded her head in hesitation.

Wang Yi looked at Lee Mei and nodded. He understood that she agreed. Of course, even if Lee Mei didn't agree, there was nothing he could do.

Wang Yi picked up the iron rod and said to the absent-minded Lee Mei.

”Give me the machete, and you can use the iron rod. If the zombies come out, you won't be able to beat them, so you just run upstairs and find a place to stall for zombies. Wait for me to come over and help you.”

Lee Mei did not hesitate. She always felt that the iron rod was more reliable than the machete.

Wang Yi took the machete from Lee Mei and handed the iron rod to Lee Mei.

Under Wang Yi's control, they could quickly kill zombies with long iron rods. Lee Mei could use iron rods to stop zombies from getting too close to Lee Mei, so she could protect herself with them. Although the iron rods were heavy, Lee Mei had already absorbed a piece of Glycosylated Meat last night, so swinging them wasn't too strenuous.

After giving a simple explanation on how to use the iron rod, Wang Yi took out the unlocking hook and inserted it into the keyhole.

”Crack!”

The door opened.

Lee Mei stood in front of the door with an apprehensive expression. Her hands couldn't help but grip the iron rod tightly. This was the first time she faced a zombie by herself, and Wang Yi wouldn't be by her side.

”Aooo!”

Lee Mei was so frightened by the deafening roar that she almost lost consciousness. She took a few steps back. Her palms that held the iron rod were already sweating and sticky. Lee Mei felt extremely uncomfortable.

A zombie that reached only Wang Yi's shoulder came out. It was short and wore a white and blue school uniform. From the looks of it, it was a high school student. He didn't even get to go to school before he was infected by a zombie at home.

When the short zombie came out, it saw Lee Mei standing dumbly in front of the door. She didn't run, but stared at the zombie as if she was trying to provoke it. She was scared by the zombie and didn't know what to do.

The zombie looked at the undodging Lee Mei. It seemed to think that she had challenged its appetite. It roared angrily and charged towards the stunned Lee Mei with its two sharp black claws.

”Run, fool!”

Wang Yi looked at Lee Mei who was still standing there and shouted at her anxiously.

Lee Mei finally woke up from Wang Yi's angry roar. She looked at the zombie that was about to pounce on her, and it seemed like she saw half of its bloody finger in its open mouth. Lee Mei immediately cried out, dragged her iron rod, and ran towards the stairs.

Wang Yi looked at the zombie that was chasing after Lee Mei. He thought it was lucky that he wasn't attracted by his voice, so he hid behind the door and didn't make a sound.

Wang Yi stood behind the door and let the short zombie pounce at Lee Mei.

As the short zombie chased Lee Mei upstairs, an adult male zombie came out of the door. It was tall and was half a head taller than Wang Yi!

”Hiss!”

The male zombie had just walked out of the door.
