CHAPTER 4 - Turning Against Guests
Wu Lianyi quickly locked unit 602 and hid in unit 601. She quickly closed the security door, moved a cabinet over and sealed the door completely.
She sat on the sofa in the small living room feeling somewhat exhausted. She touched her forehead and was sure that she had a fever.
This is a precursor to the second evolution of mankind. On the day of the end of the world, some of the people who woke up from their coma turned into zombies that eat human flesh. Some of them failed to evolve and remained ordinary people, while some, like Lianyi, started having a high fever within two hours of waking up and fell into another coma, undergoing a second round of evolution.
The original body has good physical fitness because she had been travelling for business all year round. Although she was slim, she was stronger than the average girl. Coupled with the integration of Wu Lianyi, a task master, she entered the second round of evolution in the shortest time.
Wu Lianyi knew that this was a critical moment and that this deep sleep would take twenty-four hours. As long as her physical fitness was up to par and she was not interrupted, she could more or less stimulate her supernatural abilities. This was the basic condition for survival in the apocalypse and she must not miss it.
So when Wang Qiang, who had evil intentions next door, asked her for help, she had a plan in mind. Although she took a shortcut and returned to the rental house before Ma Tao and Yun Rou, who knew whether the two would still come to her house to take shelter? After finding the house empty, would they come to Unit 601? If her evolution was interrupted by the two, she would suffer.
Once Wu Lianyi had a plan, she threw the couple next door out. It wouldn't be long before Wang Qiang would also turn into a zombie. With the two of them blocking the stairwell, if Ma Tao and Yunrou could still come up, that was a testament to their abilities. Even if they did come up, how long can they last in an empty house?
In order to prevent the two of them from setting their sights on this opposite unit, Wu Lianyi gritted her teeth and prevented herself from falling into a deep sleep for the time being. She skillfully blocked the door with the sofa, coffee table, dining table and other furniture in the living room. Unless there was someone stronger than her and violently broke the door open, she would be safe, at least until she came to her senses.
Although Wu Lianyi had the blessing of her own divine power, she was not careless. She went to the small study room with an intact door and blocked the door as usual, which was a double insurance for herself.
Then she spread a quilt on the ground and lay down directly. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.
Just when Wu Lianyi fell into a deep sleep, Ma Tao and Yun Rou had already broken out of the sex toy store, shook off the stiff-footed zombies and headed towards Lianyi's rental house.
The reason why Ma Tao and Yun Rou were able to get out of the predicament so quickly was because Ma Tao pulled the door handle hard in desperation. His original intention was to prevent the surrounding zombies from crushing the glass door, but he ended up pulling the door handle off directly.
Yun Rou's eyes flashed after seeing it, and she immediately whispered in surprise:
"Brother Tao, when did you become so strong?"
Ma Tao, who still looked simple and honest, was holding the black stainless steel door handle in his hand, looking a little confused. After hearing Yun Rou's words, he immediately laughed foolishly and said:
"I don't know why I suddenly became so strong! This is a good thing. Only with strength can I protect you, Yun Rou."
"Brother Tao, what should we do now? We don't know what's going on outside, everything is in chaos and it's not good for the two of us to hide here. We have nothing to eat or drink and it's easy to attract zombies."
Yun Rou immediately spoke in a soft voice, obviously regarding Ma Tao as her backbone.
Under Yun Rou's admiring eyes, Ma Tao's self-confidence immediately exploded. He no longer hid his previously obscure thoughts and immediately whispered:
"Yun Rou, don't worry, Brother Tao will definitely protect you!
The situation is unclear now, it's best for us to find a place to hide, collect some food, drinks and clothing and daily necessities, and then wait for news. This place is very close to Wu Lianyi's rented place, so let's go there."
After hearing this, Yun Rou lowered her eyes and nodded, saying with a slightly sad tone:
"Brother Tao comes here often, so he must be very familiar with this place. I'll listen to you."
Ma Tao seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and immediately explained in a low voice:
"It was Wu Lianyi who insisted on asking me to get to know the place. I only went there twice in total, but I know where she put the spare door key. Right now, if we knock on doors and ask for shelter, people will probably not open the door for us."
After hearing Ma Tao's words, Yun Rou had a smile on her face, then she whispered:
"Brother Tao, don't worry, I will follow you closely."
Ma Tao nodded. When the time came for him to take action, he was still a little scared. After all, saying it was one thing, and doing it is another.
But he didn't want to lose face in front of the beautiful Yun Rou, so he gritted his teeth and bravely said:
"I will push open these double doors in a moment and push aside these zombies that are surrounding us. There will be an opening. Follow me and we'll rush out first."
"Good!"
Yun Rou actually didn't want to leave here for the time being, but because of that phone call, the number of zombies gathering here was increasing. She was afraid that the glass door would eventually be squeezed through, so she decided to leave here first.
In the previous life, there was no phone call, and the two of them stayed in that store until the sun rose the next day. The zombies that had just transformed were afraid of the sun and they automatically dispersed and hid in the shadows. The two of them then ran all the way to the original body's residence, and because they had the key, they had a place to stay.
In this life, because of the appearance of taskmaster Wu Lianyi, they lost the opportunity and now had to find a way to break out.
Ma Tao took a deep breath, nodded to Yun Rou, and pushed the door with all his strength. In the end, the double door was unable to withstand his strength and fell directly outward, crushing three or four zombies underneath, giving the two people enough room to escape.
When Ma Tao saw that he had succeeded, he immediately turned around and pulled Yun Rou up. They stepped on the glass door, quickly left the small store, and then started running.
It took the two of them 20 minutes to reach the distance of 500 meters. This was because they had to avoid the zombies that pounced on them along the way.
Ma Tao held the door handle that he had removed, swung it left and right, and knocked away the zombies that wanted to attack them. Yun Rou hid behind the tall Ma Tao, and the two quickly arrived in front of the electric gate of the family compound.
The zombies in the yard were walking aimlessly, then their noses moved slightly, as if they smelled something good. They let out a "huffing" sound then turned their heads stiffly and looked in the direction of Ma Tao and Yun Rou with the whites of their eyeballs making the two people's scalps feel numb instantly.
"Brother Tao, what should we do? I'm scared!"
Yun Rou asked with a trembling voice.
At this time, it was not just the zombies in the yard that were "watching" them. The zombies that the two of them had shaken off along the way were chasing after them, slowly approaching while "wheezing" at them, treating them as if they were nothing but food.
