The city that once belonged to humanity has now become a paradise for Zombies. In the bustling commercial street, a group of Zombies is crouched around a Manhole Cover, sniffing around restlessly, as if something inside is attracting them.
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground echoes in the quiet street, making it stand out sharply.
The group of Zombies immediately raises their heads with fierce expressions upon hearing the sound, and one even lunges forward without looking.
With a "rip," this Zombie is torn in half, and thick, dark blood sprays out, splattering all over the other Zombies. However, they do not continue to attack; instead, they respectfully step back. The highest-ranking Zombie even walks over to the slain Zombie, digs out its Crystal Core, wipes it clean, and presents it to the assailant.
The man casually places the Core in his mouth, producing a crunching sound. His pale complexion and dark lips, along with heavy dark circles under his eyes, make him look like a vampire. His delicate aura sends chills down one's spine.
"She is my prey, understand?"
The Advanced Zombie seems to take a moment to comprehend before nodding in fear. It quickly turns and disappears down the street. The other Zombies follow suit, hurriedly fleeing without daring to look back.
Watching them leave with a smirk on his face, the man gazes meaningfully at the Manhole Cover, a cold laugh escaping his lips.
"Heh heh—Liu Xinlian—what gives you the confidence to think you can escape from me, hmm?"
In the dark and damp sewer, Liu Xinlian covers her mouth tightly with her colorless hands, tears streaming down her face as she tries not to make a sound.
At this moment, she is filthy and pale, hiding in a corner like a beggar, not daring to glance in the direction of the Manhole Cover.
"They won't find me, they won't find me, they won't find me!!!"
"Bang!"
The manhole cover was crushed into scrap metal under a man's foot, clattering as it fell to the ground, making Liu Xinlian's face turn even paler.
"Tap"
"Tap"
"Tap"
"I've come to find you, heh~"
In the dark environment, all senses were heightened. This voice, seemingly from hell, nearly drove Liu Xinlian to the brink of collapse. Tears flowed uncontrollably down her face, her body curled up tightly yet still trembling. Her hands pressed painfully against her mouth.
She didn't know how long it had been, but finally, the sounds of movement outside stopped. She stiffly raised her head and peeked out with half of her face.
Nothing! There was nothing except the decaying pipes of foul-smelling sewage; he was gone!
"Ha~"
She let out a sigh of relief and squatted back down beneath the pipe. After her wildly beating heart returned to a normal rhythm, she suddenly felt that something was off.
What was it...
It was so quiet here, deathly quiet; even the rats that usually scurried around in the pipes were gone...
Gone? Why were they gone?
As this thought crossed her mind, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She slowly raised her head and found herself staring directly into a pale face.
"Found it!"
On the other side
"Xiao Hong, I know you're excited to wake up, but can you please calm down for a moment?"
"Chirp~"
Another Zombie was burned to ashes, scattered all over the ground, making Liu You'er think of Plants vs. Zombies, because these burned Zombies looked just like those that had been blasted by peppers.
"Let it move around a bit; it's been sleeping for two years. It's rare to stretch its legs~"
Liu You'er wanted to punch Xuan Mo for his cheeky demeanor. They had agreed that he would take a shortcut through J City directly to B City Base, on the condition that he would deal with the Zombies he attracted himself. Now, a free laborer had shown up, and he was acting like a hands-off manager.
"Liu You'er~ go find a vehicle for me; I'm so tired from walking~"
Hearing Xuan Mo's whining voice made Liu You'er unable to hold back. Suddenly, she noticed a nearby sewer without a Manhole Cover and an evil glint flashed in her eyes. With a quick Teleportation, she kicked him down into it.
Xuan Mo fell unexpectedly but managed to react quickly enough to avoid a free fall. However, his shoes got soaked in dirty water. Furious and ready to jump back up to fight Liu You'er, he suddenly heard a woman's piercing scream.
Just as Liu You'er was about to lean over to look down, she heard the scream and froze for a moment before calling Xiao Hong over with a serious expression.
Ever since they exchanged energy yesterday, she and Xiao Hong seemed to have a telepathic connection, knowing each other's thoughts. At this moment, feeling Liu You'er's seriousness, Xiao Hong obediently returned.
In the next second, they appeared beside Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo exchanged a silent glance with her, and after thinking for a moment, Liu You'er nodded seriously.
"It seems to be Liu Xinlian's voice."
Liu You'er thought coldly in her heart, she didn't care at all how Liu Xinlian had survived alone in the city full of Zombies these past few days, nor did she care whether she was still alive. What mattered to her was that intense sense of crisis.
It had been a long time since she felt this way...
"Splash~ Splash~"
The sound of splashing water echoed as a slender figure stumbled towards them. Due to the dim light and the dirt covering her, even her hair was matted against her face, making it impossible to see what she looked like. However, Liu You'er still recognized her.
Of course, from the radiant look in her eyes, it was clear that she had also seen Liu You'er.
"Cousin! Cousin, help me! Save..."
"Thud~"
Having not eaten properly for several days and constantly on the run, she was under immense psychological and physical pressure. Seeing Liu You'er made her overly excited, but unfortunately, she overlooked her own strength and fell headfirst into the filthy water.
Xuan Mo took two steps back with a look of disdain on Liu You'er’s face, fearing that Liu Xinlian would get too close to her, clicking her tongue.
"You actually ignored your sister in her time of need; that's pretty cold-hearted~"
Liu You'er raised an eyebrow and glanced at the spot where Liu Xinlian had fallen, the meaning clear.
You should go help her!
"Uh..."
Xuan Mo looked at Liu Xinlian, who was covered in dirt and reeked of filth, feeling a wave of nausea. He silently turned his head to the side, appearing to admire something, making it seem to onlookers as if he were out shopping.
Liu You'er rolled her eyes at his reaction and turned her attention back to Liu Xinlian, who had managed to get back on her feet. Black, dirty water continued to drip from her body, leaving her in a pitiful state.
"I was wrong before. I shouldn't have treated you that way or spoken ill of you. I was wrong; please save me!"
Liu You'er coldly stared at her, unmoved. Her gaze shifted behind Liu Xinlian, where a dark figure was slowly approaching. She silently pulled Xuan Mo to turn away, appearing unwilling to get involved. In the next moment, they vanished from the spot.
Liu Xinlian's face turned pale as an icy hand gently grasped her neck, almost caressing her like a lover would, causing her to completely break down. Ignoring her father's warnings, she shouted out.
"Liu You'er! I know what happened in that car accident!"
Just as Liu Xinlian closed her eyes, preparing to face death, the person behind her was suddenly kicked away by an emerging figure. A distant "splash" echoed as if a heavy object had fallen into the water.
At the same time, she felt a grip on her shoulder that twisted her around and slammed her hard against the wall, causing pain to shoot through her back. However, she felt no displeasure; instead, she grinned maniacally and looked excitedly at Liu You'er.
"I know! I know! As long as you save me, I'll tell you right away!"
