Although the skin on its face was so badly damaged that its features were not clearly visible, the shapely figure of the zombie, wrapped in leather, still revealed that it had been in good physical condition in life.

"So you're the one who bullied Zhenhua?"

The zombie stared at Lu Sheng in the darkness for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

The voice was very pleasant, with a gentle southern accent. If it weren't for this eerie and dangerous environment, hearing such a voice would be a pleasure.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end with tension.

Although Lu Sheng had told them before that zombies would gradually gain human consciousness and a controllable appearance once they reached level seven, this was all based on Lu Sheng's experience from his previous life. Apart from Xiao Ning and Shi Nian, they had never seen a zombie that spoke Mandarin so fluently.

In the past, most of the zombies I encountered could only make indistinct monosyllables or strange hoarse noises. This was the first time I had seen one with clear and distinct pronunciation.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

This zombie is about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender and delicate figure wrapped in a tight black leather outfit. Its posture is upright and graceful, and you can tell from just a silhouette that it must have been a beautiful and elegant woman before the apocalypse.

Seeing that Lu Sheng didn't speak, the woman stared at her stubbornly with her eyes, her gray and dry eyeballs rolled around, and her left eye emitted a golden light.

"Say something! Did you bully Zhenhua?"

Zhang Xiaojuan swallowed hard. "Auntie, it's fine as long as your child doesn't bully other kids. Who could possibly bully him? Parents, don't be so obvious about protecting your child."

“Everyone in this building was bullied to death by your Zhenhua family, why don’t you do anything about it?”

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaojuan call her "Auntie," the female zombie froze and slowly turned her head toward his location.

The next second, a blinding laser beam shot out from the female zombie's golden left eye and flew straight toward Zhang Xiaojuan's location.

Seemingly without any intention to kill, the ray only swept across Zhang Xiaojuan's shoe, burning a large hole in it and revealing a furry little frog on her sock.

"Holy crap!" Zhang Xiaojuan jumped back two steps in fright.

Han Rui immediately rushed over and covered his mouth, "Are you stupid? A woman's age is a secret, even zombies are women!"

Having warned Zhang Xiaojuan, the female zombie once again targeted Lu Sheng.

She suddenly lunged forward, her mechanical arm firing several bullets at Lu Sheng's slender body simultaneously. Her only target was Lu Sheng; everyone else was like air to her.

Lu Sheng dodged nimbly amidst the hail of bullets, each bullet grazing her hair.

"As expected of Sister Lu, what a masterful human outline technique!" Cheng Mofan hugged Zhuangzhuang's big head tightly, wrapping it up completely with his body, and didn't forget to rub Zhuangzhuang's fluffy ears a couple of times. "Don't be afraid, kitty, brother will protect you."

Zhuangzhuang got angry and let out a dissatisfied meow.

Who can you protect?! Let go! We don't even know each other!

As Lu Sheng chased the female zombie, he had already put a few meters between himself and the main group. Seeing this, the remaining few people immediately gave chase.

Faced with a hail of bullets and the suppressive fire of modern weapons, Lu Sheng calmly erected a thick air shield.

The bullets that hit the air shield were immediately forced to deflect and bounce off, leaving a dense array of bullet holes on the walls on both sides.

"Xiao Ci, kill this woman. She's trying to destroy the home I've worked so hard to build for you." Yang Zhenhua's hoarse, manic voice boomed from the loudspeaker in the corridor.

"Once we get rid of this wretched woman, we can live a carefree life."

Under Yang Zhenhua's instigation, the female zombie named Xiao Ci's murderous intent surged, and the laser beam from her golden left eye, as thick as a forearm, swept wildly in the direction of Lu Sheng.

The laser beams instantly burned a 10-centimeter-diameter crater into the walls and floors, filling the air with the pungent smell of burning building materials.

At the same time, her speed continued to increase, her slender body moving towards Lu Sheng like a cheetah.

Lu Sheng remained calm, raised his hand, aimed at Xiao Ci, and fired two air blasts in quick succession.

The immense force of the compressed gas explosion instantly blasted Xiao Ci's black leather jacket into dust.

But Xiao Ci's attack speed did not slow down; instead, she met the challenge head-on.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the horrifying scene before them: Xiao Ci's body beneath the leather jacket was completely encased in heavy metal. Although Lu Sheng's energy blast had blasted off the clothes, it hadn't caused any damage to the body beneath.

"Anyone who bullies Zhenhua should die!"

Xiao Ci's soft voice revealed a fierce edge, and at the same time, a dark mass of shadows, accompanied by a buzzing sound, swept in from all directions.

Tong Ziqi squinted at the large patch of dark shadows. "It looks like... bugs???"

“I’m terrified of bugs…” Cheng Mofan’s face turned pale, and he instinctively hugged Zhuangzhuang tightly.

The swarm of insects grew denser and denser. The zombie remains left behind after Lu Sheng and her companions dug out the crystal cores were immediately swarmed and attacked by the insects.

In just a few seconds, the 1.7-meter-tall male zombie's body was gnawed down to just bones.

Besides the dense marks from the mouthparts, the skeleton also gleamed with a dark green glow.

After feeding and drinking their fill, these flying insects doubled in size, their sharp mouthparts constantly rubbing together, making a crisp, crackling sound.

"I feel a little dizzy..." the fragile doctoral student Li Kun said weakly, then leaned limply against the wall.

"The sound of these insects flapping their wings has a hypnotic effect, everyone be alert," Xu Yi reminded them in a cold voice.

However, everyone still felt their superpowers draining away uncontrollably.
