If Li Nan was not mistaken, the zombies outside the door were definitely the same ones from downstairs. Suddenly, Li Nan felt it was unbelievable, "How did they find their way up here?"
Li Nan's apartment was rented, with a total area of just over thirty square meters, making it relatively cheap. The landlord must have cut costs in various ways, and there was no security door outside—just an old, low-quality plywood door that could easily be kicked in by an elementary school student. So there was no hope that this door would provide any real protection!
What worried Li Nan the most was this very point. There were at least a dozen zombies behind the door, and he had no weapon in hand. If they charged in, even though he had been feeling stronger lately, he couldn't possibly fend off a dozen zombies. In less than a minute, both he and Mo Xiaohui would be torn apart. What could he do?
Li Nan was already sweating profusely, and behind him, Mo Xiaohui was also terrified. She thought that as long as she followed Li Nan, she would be safe, but she never expected to face an active attack from zombies!
Clearly, the parrot named Hui Xiaomo was even more panicked than its owner. It flapped its wings wildly like a moth banging against a light, continuously squawking, "Someone... someone..."
Mo Xiaohui instinctively covered her ears and frantically searched for something useful. However, the entire room contained nothing but the food they had just scavenged; there was nothing else!
Feeling helpless, Mo Xiaohui became even more flustered when she saw Li Nan bracing himself against the door with a look of desperation.
Li Nan pushed hard against the door and shouted to Mo Xiaohui, "The computer desk and water dispenser—bring anything you can move over here, quickly!"
Upon hearing the command, Mo Xiaohui immediately sprang into action. Normally weak and helpless, she suddenly seemed like Popeye after eating spinach—she could lift and push things around.
Ignoring the sweat dripping from her forehead, after a few turns, she managed to bring over the computer desk, water heater, and a nightstand to brace against the door.
Li Nan shifted slightly to leverage his strength against the door; however, these items were still too light and small to be effective. Instantly, the force pushing against him increased significantly; it seemed all the zombies had lunged forward.
The low-quality plywood door crunched like a snack food as one zombie pressed its hands against it, instantly creating two holes. Two black hands that looked as if they had been soaked in oil reached through directly under Li Nan's armpit.
Mo Xiaohui let out a scream, "There’s something under your arm! Something's there!"
Li Nan had already heard the sound of the door breaking and did not hesitate. As soon as he saw two arms like black whirlwinds, he quickly freed one hand and jabbed at them with a screwdriver.
The Zombie's arms were not vital spots, so no matter how hard Li Nan tried, it did not stop its owner from lunging forward. In this situation, Li Nan could only lament, "Damn it, I just wanted to take a nap. Did it really need to turn into such a big scene?"
No one echoed Li Nan's sentiments, and at that moment he felt a bitter sense of helplessness, as if the heavens were unresponsive and the earth was indifferent. "Could it be that this Falling Phoenix Slope is my burial ground?"
Li Nan compared his small home to Falling Phoenix Slope, clearly likening himself to Pang Tong. However, it was not yet a desperate situation; it did not necessarily mean a dead end.
Li Nan had already severed the two Zombie arms that reached in at the roots, but this method was utterly useless against Zombies. Li Nan frowned, his mind racing. Although he had not yet figured out the reasons behind this chaos, the current situation was clear: he could not rely on brute force but had to outsmart them!
Behind him, Mo Xiaohui almost pulled Li Nan's bed over to barricade the door. However, Li Nan thought that blocking was less effective than evading; simply blocking the door would not stop the Zombies, and that dilapidated door was hardly sturdy.
Suddenly, Li Nan remembered that he still had more than ten packs of Li Nan in his backpack. This was the time to put them to use.
"Mo Xiaohui, find the clothes I was wearing at the beginning; there are some Li Nan inside. Hand me a few packs!"
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui acted like a little soldier, completely unconditionally following Li Nan's orders. After rummaging under the bed for Li Nan's bundle, Mo Xiaohui pulled out several packs of Li Nan and threw them directly at him.
"Good!" Li Nan silently cheered and immediately reached out with both hands to catch them. However, this movement caused him to step away from the door, losing his resistance as several Zombies behind it lunged forward, causing the flimsy plywood door to tremble dangerously.
At this point, Li Nan did not care about the safety of the door anymore. After catching the packs of Li Nan with both hands, he bit them open with his teeth, blood splattering all over his mouth.
Li Nan could hardly think about anything else; seeing that the door panel had shattered and three Zombies were already lunging toward him.
Li Nan staggered slightly and rushed directly in front of the three Zombies. Just as they were about to pounce, Li Nan had already plunged the Screwdriver into one Zombie's skull.
With a "thud," a burst of blood sprayed out from Li Nan, the Intern Doctor!
The Screwdriver that Li Nan held in one hand was firmly lodged in the Zombie's skull, stuck and unable to be pulled out.
Immediately, the other two Zombies opened their grotesque mouths and lunged at Li Nan's shoulder.
"Damn!" Li Nan cursed under his breath, using his arm, elbow, and wrist with all his strength to yank the Zombie's head off its neck, sending the decayed head flying.
After successfully taking one down, Li Nan struck again, toppling two more Zombies. However, the remaining Zombies charged in groups, and no matter how brave Li Nan was, he couldn't withstand them all!
Seeing over a dozen Zombies rushing toward him, Li Nan immediately threw his bag of Li Nan out. Blood splattered in the air, and a strong stench filled the room!
The smell of Li Nan wasn't much for him, but Mo Xiaohui clearly couldn't handle it. Coupled with the fact that the three Zombies had been turned into mush by Li Nan, various odors filled the small room, causing Mo Xiaohui to double over and vomit!
The effect of one bag of Li Nan seemed minimal, so Li Nan quickly threw out a second and third bag until his hands were empty.
The bags were scattered outside the door, and those dozen or so Zombies seemed more interested in the scent of Li Nan than in the two of them. After hesitating for a moment, they turned around and charged toward the back door.
Seeing an opportunity, Li Nan gripped the Screwdriver with both hands and followed closely behind them, cleanly stabbing into the back of their heads.
The Zombies ignored Li Nan behind them, allowing him to kill with ease. With each thrust and kick, one Zombie fell to the ground, and neither he nor the human flesh could attract their interest anymore!
Li Nan's rise to power had already taken down ten Zombies. The last Zombie knelt in the hallway, licking the bloodstains on the ground, intent on biting. Just as its teeth grazed the floor, several crisp sounds erupted. Li Nan halted, seemingly taking a moment to appreciate the scene.
The Zombie knelt with its legs, its body half-crouched, resembling a devout Muslim in prayer. However, Li Nan knew it was a monster, not a believer.
The Zombie's mouth was mostly devoid of teeth, yet it could not suppress its hunger for Li Nan. It pressed its face entirely against the ground, wriggling like a worm. At that moment, Li Nan could no longer bear to watch.
With the Screwdriver thrusting in and out, another blood hole appeared as it fell to the ground.
Looking at his hands stained with countless bits of flesh and blood, Li Nan stood straight, and the Screwdriver suddenly dropped from his grip.
With a loud clang, the sound startled Mo Xiaohui inside the house. She rushed out in a panic and asked, "What happened?"
Li Nan slowly turned his body. After ten seconds of silence facing Mo Xiaohui, she suddenly leaped into his arms.
Li Nan raised both arms, unsure whether to place them on Mo Xiaohui's back. Just then, a fallen Zombie began to stir again.
"The situation isn't over!"
Upon hearing Li Nan's words, Mo Xiaohui abruptly released her embrace. Li Nan bent down to pick up the Screwdriver from the ground and handed it to her. "I can't protect you forever; there are things you need to try doing yourself!"
Mo Xiaohui trembled as she accepted the Screwdriver from Li Nan's hand. Turning around, she saw a Zombie with half of its head punctured still crawling stubbornly toward her.
Mo Xiaohui glanced at Li Nan and then fixed her gaze on the Zombie. It seemed like her first steps in life; her mother was watching from behind, but ultimately, she had to walk her own path!
Mo Xiaohui gritted her teeth, swallowed hard, and then mustered her courage to walk directly toward the approaching Zombie.
Mo Xiaohui's legs trembled. She had never killed anyone, not even a chicken. Although she knew that the creature before her was just an aberration, she still lacked the courage. The fear and weakness of a woman erupted in an instant. "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
The Zombie had already crawled to Mo Xiaohui's feet, while behind her, Li Nan showed no intention of stepping in.
The unpredictability of the night deeply pained Li Nan. Even hiding in the safest place could not avoid disaster. In this apocalyptic world, survival was already a difficult task, compounded by constant threats. If a man struggled to cope, one could only imagine the difficulties faced by a woman. Therefore, being a weak woman was not an option; Mo Xiaohui had to learn to change!
"Kill that Zombie! If you hesitate any longer, it won't be the Zombie that dies but you!" Li Nan could not always be there to protect Mo Xiaohui, so there were some things she had to learn to face alone.
Mo Xiaohui's teeth chattered as she watched filthy hands crawl up to her ankle. At that moment, her terror reached an unbearable level. However, after enduring immense fear, Mo Xiaohui suddenly widened her eyes in anger and brought down the Screwdriver in her hand like a heavy weight, driving it straight into the Zombie's brain.
In an instant, the Zombie stopped moving and stood rigidly at Mo Xiaohui's feet.
Mo Xiaohui pulled out the Screwdriver from the Zombie's head, and a white liquid arced through the air, splattering directly onto her face.
Mo Xiaohui wiped her face without any expression. At that moment, Li Nan walked over and took the Screwdriver from her hand.
