Lin Mengru trembled as she watched Liu Haibo being bitten by zombies.

At that moment, a hideous zombie was biting at his neck like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. His pig-like body was trembling incessantly, and his intestines were spilling out like a burst dam, making the scene seem absurd and ridiculous.

This nightmarish scene unfolded before Lin Mengru's eyes.

Lin Mengru never expected that the new protective umbrella she had painstakingly found would fail so quickly.

What a useless piece of trash! She originally thought Liu Haibo was someone she could rely on!

I never expected that someone as useless as him could be on par with Chen Tianchi.

What to do now? It's bad enough that all her efforts have been wasted, but the real problem is how she can get out of this mess.

While the zombies were still gnawing on Liu Haibo's corpse, knowing that they would eventually finish, she had to quickly think of a solution.

Lin Mengru covered her body tightly with the blanket, then reached out from under the blanket with lightning speed and scooped the blanket up to the ground.

In an instant, the clothes that had fallen to the ground seemed to be under a spell, obediently ending up in her hands.

A minute later, Lin Mengru, who had been hiding behind the blanket, was fully dressed.

She quickly got dressed, a skill she honed from her time as a mistress. Otherwise, if she were beaten up in the street, her reputation would be ruined.

Of course, this was just what she thought; in reality, her reputation was already utterly ruined.

Lin Mengru's main traits are shamelessness and a high opinion of herself.

After getting dressed, she took advantage of the fact that the zombies hadn't noticed her yet, and hid behind the blanket to start planning an escape route.

The main gate is out of the question; that good-for-nothing Liu Haibo is lying right there at the gate.

She really thought he was a weirdo. He clearly heard something was wrong outside the door, so why didn't he ask first? Why did he have to open the door? Now look what happened, she's being dragged into this mess too.

Not only is he a good-for-nothing, but he's also a handsome man. What a waste of her three-minute performance! Ugh! What bad luck!

Since the main gate is no longer an option, the only remaining route is through the window. However, there are no railings or steps outside the window to stand on.

This is the fourth floor. If someone were to jump down recklessly, who knows what the outcome would be!

But if they stayed here, they could only hope that the zombies would finish eating Liu Haibo and leave, but that was obviously impossible. Besides, the zombies in the corridor were already packed like dumplings.

Lin Mengru was torn between her own mind and her inner demons. The fear of being in close proximity to zombies made her tremble all over, but the height of the fourth floor also made her hesitate.

She looked down the building with trepidation, only to see a scene that resembled a living hell. The cries of agony rose and fell everywhere, and the survivors were terrified, screaming incessantly. Meanwhile, the hideous zombies pounced on them like hungry tigers.

It seems the area downstairs isn't exactly peaceful either.

All that was needed was to find a perfect hiding place. At that moment, Lin Mengru suddenly remembered a place.

That was the place where Li Jin had kept his mistress. She had also stockpiled a lot of supplies there. Originally, she planned to stay there and never come out. If she hadn't trusted that good-for-nothing Liu Haibo, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

And that room happens to be directly below this room.

But she had already nailed the window of that room shut with broken planks, truly shooting herself in the foot with a hammer.

There's no other way now. The only option is to climb down through the window and then use something to break the wooden planks.

The zombie was still intently gnawing at Liu Haibo. The scene of blood flowing all over the ground, mixed with feces, almost made Lin Mengru vomit.

She carefully pulled the sheet out from under the bed, rolled it up, tied it to the window, and then tiptoed up to the windowsill, preparing to climb down.

At this moment, the zombie that had been intently gnawing on Liu Haibo suddenly raised its head, staring intently at Lin Mengru with a sharp glint in its eyes.

It turns out that zombies are not completely devoid of intelligence; they still retain one percent of human intelligence.

With just one percent of their intelligence, they learned to hide and ambush their prey in the dark, and to search for prey everywhere.

This is the fundamental reason why survivors hiding in the upper floors of skyscrapers cannot truly escape the zombies.

On Lin Mengru's side, the reason why the zombie had been focusing on biting Liu Haibo instead of attacking Lin Mengru was because it knew that Lin Mengru could not escape.

After it finishes eating Liu Haibo, it can then eat Lin Mengru and have a hot meal.

And it cannot tolerate its prey trying to escape.

It kicked away Liu Haibo, who had been half-eaten, and pounced on Lin Mengru frantically.

As Lin Mengru watched the zombie rush towards her, she had no time to think about why it had suddenly attacked.

All she knew was that if she didn't take action soon, she would end up like Liu Haibo.

In a split second, the instinct for survival, like a bolt of lightning, instantly activated her usually somewhat sluggish brain, causing it to work at lightning speed and calculate the distance with precision. Then, like a nimble swallow, she fully utilized her past as a dance student, swinging the rope sharply and leaping into the air like an arrow released from a bow.

She timed the distance perfectly, kicked out, and smashed through the wooden planks nailed to the floor below. She successfully crossed the room, fell heavily to the ground, and landed awkwardly on her backside.

"It hurts so much!" Lin Mengru felt like her entire skeleton was about to fall apart.

She stood up, clutching her buttocks. The next second, through the hole in the window, she saw the zombie fall right in front of her.

Only at this moment did she feel a sense of relief, as if she had survived a catastrophe.

If it had been two seconds later, she would have either fallen to the ground and been smashed into a pulp, or become a zombie's dinner.

After escaping death, Lin Mengru quickly used the remaining wooden planks in the room to nail the windows shut tightly.

After finishing all that, she collapsed weakly to the ground. Only then did she realize that she was soaked in cold sweat, and her black suspender dress was so wet it could be wrung out.

She quickly tore open a box of instant noodles and started eating it directly with a bottle of mineral water.

It wasn't until she replenished some of her energy that her body stopped trembling.

When Lin Mengru came to her senses, she felt an extreme hatred for Ye Ning and Li Churan.

If Li Churan hadn't ruthlessly abandoned her, she would be living a carefree life in H country by now, and wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

And that Ye Ning too. She won't let any of them get away.

But Lin Mengru's crisis was not over yet; it was only just beginning.
