Anyone in Eve's situation would have probably fainted long ago, but she remained calm, as if she hadn't noticed the sharp fangs just a few centimeters away from her neck. With a calm expression, she raised her free hand and aimed it at the third-level zombie.

He gave it a solid slap.

Everyone: pupil earthquake.jpg.

Naturally, due to the huge power difference, the third-level zombie didn't move at all, but it seemed to be confused by Eve's actions and stared at her blankly.

Eve had a calm expression on her face, and her eyes were originally peaceful, but suddenly a crack appeared after she saw something.

——Qi Zheng was standing behind the third-level zombie, his face full of murderous intent, and the scarlet in his eyes was like a blood mist.

Two black tails rose from under his feet, with the spikes pointed at the back of the third-level zombie's head, ready to attack.

When he met Eve's gaze, he nodded vigorously with an expression that said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away!"

Eve: “…”

This child is good in every way except that he acts too impulsively.

She glared at Qi with a warning look. The latter was slightly startled. After a while, Heiwei shook it aggrievedly and put it away in annoyance.

Eve retracted her gaze, ignoring the third-level zombie still holding her hand. She lowered her head and rummaged in her pocket, pulling out a bloody eyeball. She carefully lifted the red and white sphere and held it in front of the third-level zombie.

The third-level zombie's gaze first circled around the eyeball, then fell on Eve. It seemed to think for a while, then let go of Eve and grabbed the eyeball instead.

It put the eyeball into its mouth and started chewing it. With a satisfied hum, it waved to Eve.

Eve bowed to it, deliberately slowing down her movements so that she looked like one of those clumsy and stiff low-level zombies. When she took another step, the third-level zombie didn't even turn around and ignored her.

Everyone: “…”

What the hell, does the zombie world also have tolls?

But no one dared to test the edge of danger. With Eve's demonstration in front, everyone followed suit, picking up their internal organs and handing them to the third-level zombies. The latter accepted them one by one with a smile, and actually let them pass.

When Fang Yong was the last one to pass through the sight of the third-level zombie, he couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, it's really scary..."

Eve stepped hard on his foot and said in a voice as low as the sky covered with dark clouds: "Shut up."

Fang Yongcai finally came to his senses and covered his mouth in fright.

But it was too late.

——The third-level zombie turned its head, and its scarlet and sticky eyeballs slowly turned in its eye sockets and stopped on Fang Yong.

The next moment, its figure disappeared from its original place and reappeared above Fang Yong's head in an instant!

“Get out of the way!”

Since you have been seen through by the third-level zombies, there is no need to disguise yourself anymore, Eve said sternly, and pushed Fang Yong hard. The latter retreated several meters and staggered to the ground.

Seven quickly stepped forward, and Kuroo gently grabbed Eve's waist, hiding her behind him.

“Bang!”

The third-level zombie landed heavily on the spot where the two had been standing. The solid asphalt ground immediately cracked into several spider-web-like marks. It roared, and its scarlet eyes turned and fell on Qi, who was closest to it.

Qi was about to go forward, but Eve grabbed his long tail and said, "Stand still!"

She waved her hand, and the several zombie followers behind her immediately rushed towards the third-level zombie and surrounded it.

Eve gestured for Qi to pick her up, then turned to the stunned crowd and shouted angrily, "Don't you want to live? Go!"

Everyone finally reacted and hurriedly ran forward in a panic.

But after running a few steps, an earth-shaking roar came from behind him - the third-level zombie had torn Eve's zombie into pieces and was chasing after him again!

"Damn it!" Lin Bing roared, condensed an ice spike and shot it at it, but heard a "clang" sound. A part of the skin on the third-level zombie quickly turned iron-colored, and the ice spike hit it and shattered.

"It also has special abilities!" Fang Yong exclaimed, "Yes..."

"Hardened skin," Eve interrupted him, "Shut up and get out of here!"

But even if everyone wanted to, it was difficult to speed up their pace - after the third-level zombie made a noise, the surrounding zombies were attracted over one after another. Even if they were just some miscellaneous soldiers, they still slowed down their pace to a great extent.

Eve looked around and held Seven's arm: "Go there!"

She pointed to an empty residential building to her right.

Qi immediately changed direction and ran towards the residential building. The rest of the people didn't have time to think about it and followed him subconsciously.

Qi rushed to the entrance of the residential building, swung his long tail, and the two zombies blocking the door were cut in half. He touched the ground with his long legs and quickly hid in the building with Eve.

Although the people behind them were a bit slow, with Qi leading the way, they managed to keep up. They rushed in. Eve had already bitten her finger and controlled the zombies along the way, driving them, "Block the door!"

Seven or eight zombies immediately ran in the opposite direction of the crowd. At this time, a third-level zombie arrived. Several zombies rushed forward and hugged it, trying to stop it with their bodies.

"How should we go now?!" Lin Bing gasped.

In front of them was the elevator, but the power system of this residential building had long been paralyzed and the elevator could not be used. A group of people were crowded in the corridor in a daze, not knowing where to go.

The sound of zombies biting came from more than ten meters away. The sound of flesh being torn was like a swarm of ants, rapidly spreading along their skin to their brains.

Without hesitation, Eve turned her head and her green eyes turned to the emergency exit: "Go there."

The door of the emergency exit was stuck by a thick steel bar. Several people worked together to push it open enough for one person to pass through. They squeezed in sideways. Just as Song Shuye, the last one in line, entered the emergency passage, a loud roar suddenly sounded behind him.

Everyone trembled. The roar was so sharp that it was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, deafening them. Their steps trembled and they were so weak that they could not move a step.

But after a few seconds, there was no more movement at the entrance. Fang Yong whispered, "What's going on?"

No one could answer this question. Eve signaled for everyone to be silent. In the dark and winding safety passage, only their slightly heavy breathing could be heard.

Lin Bing couldn't stand the silence any longer and spoke first: "Could it be that the third-level zombie was killed?"

After all, Eve sent out nearly ten zombies one after another. If they attacked together, maybe they could subdue it, right?

Eve said firmly: "Impossible."

Whether in terms of superpowers or physical strength, this zombie is obviously stronger than the one in the mall. Ten low-level zombies are no match for it.

But it didn't catch up.

Eve couldn't help but frown. The roar just now gave her a sense of déjà vu. She always felt that she had missed something...

"Damn it," Lin Bing couldn't wait any longer, "I'll go check at the door."

They couldn't stay any longer - there was a depressing atmosphere in the safety passage. They felt like they were staying in a dark, dry well, with invisible dark water gradually spreading to their feet.

Lin Bing would rather confront the third-level zombies than drown in this suffocating silence.

Song Shuye quickly stopped him: "No, it's too dangerous!"

"What should we do?!" Lin Bing said angrily, "It will be dark soon. We can't afford to delay!"

"Shut up."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted their argument. Eve slowly raised her head and stared at them quietly. "You're being too noisy. Are you trying to attract the other zombies?"

In the pitch-black corridor, her eyes emitted a green light that was inexplicably connected to some large cat, which actually frightened the B-level mutant.

It was as if... beneath that aurora-like green, there was some kind of crisis hidden.

"Gulp!" Song Shuye heard a swallowing sound coming from his throat. His throat was terribly dry. He barely cleared his throat, feeling the burning pain of each word rubbing against his mouth. "What... do you want to do?"

"Go up," Eve whispered, "We can't stay here."

She now remembered why that roar was so familiar.

"No!" Lin Bing immediately retorted, "What if there are more zombies upstairs? We can't waste any more time."

Eve stared at him with a heavy gaze. The dark colors in the safe passage fell into her eyes, reflecting a little bit of dark light.

She suddenly chuckled.

"That roar just now," she looked at Lin Bing with a smile, "do you know what it means?"

"What?" Lin Bing asked subconsciously.

"It's calling out to its companions," Eve said, her hand gently sliding across Qi's face, resting on his eyelids. "To maximize hunting success, some high-level zombies will proactively cooperate with other zombies, even splitting the prey equally."

"Isn't it incredible?" Her voice was so soft, almost like a wisp of wind. "Even though you've been transformed into a mindless beast, you've still retained one of the most important human traits."

Ordinary people think that zombies are greedy and selfish and will never allow others to touch their food. Eve also had this misunderstanding before, but once she tried to tame a century-old zombie, but when she succeeded, the zombie suddenly called its companions and killed her by surprise.

It happened when she was thirteen, so it's no wonder she can't remember it clearly.

Eve lowered her eyes and felt her seven long eyelashes trembling slightly in her palm, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

"Are you sure?" Lin Bing looked at her suspiciously.

"You don't have to believe me," Eve came back to her senses and twitched the corner of her mouth. "But it only takes one person to die? That's enough, right? Captain Song, come with me."

She used an affirmative tone that brooked no refusal.

Eve doesn't care about the life or death of these two people, but she still needs someone to introduce her to the Queen Bee - Song Shuye and Lin Bing, and one of them must stay.

"Calm down first," Song Shuye pressed his forehead, saying patiently, "Is this a suitable situation for a split?"

?Just then, Shoufeng, who had been leaning against the wall in silence, suddenly stood up.

"She's right," she said suddenly, turning her head towards the first-floor emergency exit. "Here it comes."

"She? Him?" Fang Yong was confused. "Who are you talking about?"

Shoufeng's eyes flashed, and he was about to open his mouth, but suddenly stopped talking.

Corresponding to this, there was a sound of heavy breathing coming from the first floor.

When everyone heard the sound, their faces changed drastically.

The sound climbed up the stairs, like the footsteps of death, and under the cover of darkness, gradually turned into an invisible chain, wrapping around everyone's necks, strangling them so that they could not breathe.

There was no need for Shoufeng to explain, they all understood what the sound meant.

Lin Bing's expression was grim, and he took the initiative to say, "...Sorry, please go up."

Eve curved her lower lip and whispered to Qi: "You go in front."

She turned her head to look at the wall, where a huge [4F] was printed in cyan ink. The distance of four floors was nothing to a third-level zombie. If they didn't catch up quickly, they would all be caught.

Qi nodded, took the lead and started walking, followed by the crowd who dared not even breathe.

So a silent but thrilling chase began.

Fortunately, the third-level zombie seemed to intend to search every floor, which greatly delayed the time it took to catch up with everyone. The six-person team ran all the way and instantly shortened the distance to the sixth floor.

"This isn't a solution," Lin Bing's voice was as hoarse as the creaking of a bellows. "We're almost to the top floor."

Song Shuye made a quick decision: "Let's hide in the corridor outside first. Once the third-level zombies pass, we'll go downstairs immediately."

This method was actually very risky - firstly, they couldn't be sure whether there were other high-level zombies on the floor they entered, and secondly, if they ran into a third-level zombie while retreating, they would have no way to escape.

But if they were forced to the top floor like this, there would be nothing they could do. They looked at each other and said, "...Okay."

Song Shuye first asked Shoufeng to sniff at the entrance of the safety passage on the seventh and eighth floors respectively, and chose to enter from the seventh floor where there was relatively less smell of blood. After exiting the safety passage, there was a straight corridor, and the side door was a storage room, so everyone quickly dodged and hid inside.

Fang Yong was the first to go in. As soon as he opened the door, he was faced with half a rotten human head.

Fang Yong: “!!!”

"Shut up," a soft hand instantly covered his mouth, and Eve whispered softly from behind him, "If you make any more noise, I'll cut off your tongue."

Fang Yong's eyes were filled with tears and he nodded rapidly.

Eve gave Seven a look, and the latter's black tail silently reached into the room and explored every corner - there were no zombies.

"Come in," she said softly to everyone.

Several people hurried in one after another. When Fang Yong passed by Qi, the latter suddenly bared his teeth at him sinisterly.

Fang Yong: “?”

Eve glanced through the crack in the door, her expression suddenly tense: "It's coming."

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not even breathe and huddled in the corner like quails.

Soon, a regular and heavy sound of footsteps was heard outside the door. The third-level zombie finally entered the seventh floor and began to search the rooms there.

Eve took a piece of wood to block the door before entering the storage room. It was easy to ignore it at first glance. Sure enough, the footsteps of the third-level zombies quickly passed along the corridor and went deeper.

"It's gone far away," Shoufeng listened for a while and said, "Shoud we go down now?"

"No," Eve shook her head. "Wait a minute, there's something else to do." She stretched out her hand towards Fang Yong. "Where's the head?"

Fang Yong suddenly stuttered: "Renren ...

Eve glanced at him sideways and patted Qi's shoulder. The latter's black tail squeezed through Fang Yong's shoulder without any hesitation and rolled the head over.

Eve took the bloody head. It was already highly rotten. With a slight touch, large chunks of flesh fell off, revealing the white skull underneath. If you looked closely, you could even see maggots wriggling inside.

Even Song Shuye couldn't stand it: "What do you want to do?"

"Shh," Eve put her finger to her lips, winked at him, and looked back at Seven, "Throw it to the eighth floor."

After she said this, everyone reacted.

Throwing a human head on the eighth floor will definitely make a noise, so the third-level zombies will go up to the eighth floor to check, and then they can go downstairs, which greatly avoids the possibility of a collision.

Fang Yong couldn't help but admire: "What a great trick!"

Eve smiled and handed the head to Qi. He rolled it up carefully, and the black tail snaked out through the crack like a live snake. Everyone held their breath and waited. After a few minutes, a slight "bang" was heard above their heads.

Almost at the same moment when the head fell to the ground, the third-level zombie heard the noise and rushed out like an arrow. Even though everyone was hiding in the storage room, they could feel a strong gust of wind brought by it as it passed through the corridor, shaking the door panels with clanging sounds.

Eve said briefly, "Let's go."

No one dared to delay and quickly ran out of the storage room and ran down the stairs!

But just as he was about to reach the third floor, Shoufeng's slightly sharp voice rang out: "Stop! Don't go over there!"

Lin Bing, who was in the front, braked suddenly and barely stopped. He looked at her angrily: "Huh?"

"There are zombies," Shoufeng's pale face was covered in sweat, "They are high-level zombies!"

"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned.

"Isn't it up there?" Fang Yong thought Shoufeng was referring to the third-level zombie and asked in confusion, "We all heard it go up there."

Shoufeng shook her head repeatedly. She rarely spoke, but the gazes of the crowd seemed to make her feel pressured. Her voice became more urgent. "Yes... I don't know... I heard it..."

"I didn't hear anything," Lin Bing said, grabbing her hair impatiently. "Listen carefully, are there any zombies?"

Shoufeng was very sure: "Yes."

But apart from her, no one else heard any noise. However, Shoufeng was adamant. After a while, they remained in a stalemate. Song Shuye rubbed his brows and said, "Shoufeng, you..."

"Wait," Eve suddenly interrupted him, "...we missed one thing."

Fang Yong: "What?"

"Didn't the third-level zombie summon a companion just now?" Eve said slowly, "But now so much time has passed - where are its companions?"

Although she was talking to everyone, her eyes were fixed on the downstairs.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

"Could it be..." Fang Yong said in a trembling voice, "What Shoufeng heard was...?"

“Boom—!”

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden tremor under his feet. Eve realized something and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Shoufeng was the first to jump to the side. Although Lin Bing and Song Shuye were a beat late, they still managed to lift Fang Yong up and dodge in time. Everyone dispersed and looked at the ground in shock, but after the initial shock passed, the stairs returned to calm.

Lin Bing: "What kind of love..."

"boom--!"

The next moment, an even stronger vibration sounded, accompanied by a roar of collapse, and a blue-gray hand suddenly broke out from the middle of the stairs!

"It's a zombie!" Song Shuye shouted, "Don't go down yet!"

But it was too late for him to say this.

There is a curved platform between the upper and lower floors. People are stationed at the four corners of the platform. The zombie's outstretched hand is right in the center. They wanted to go around it, but they saw the sharp hand suddenly swung, and the cement floor was stirred like tofu in an instant. Before they could react, the cracks in the stairs gradually expanded and spread rapidly outward.

A strong wind blew past, splitting the entire platform in two and collapsing instantly.

"Damn it!" Even Song Shuye couldn't help but curse, "Jump up! Jump up quickly!"

Everyone hurriedly ran up again. Fortunately, the stairs leading to the platform were not broken, and they climbed to the fourth floor in time before falling.

"Huh..." Fang Yong almost collapsed on the ground and let out a long sigh, "I scared my dad to death..."

When he looked up, he saw Qi kneeling at the broken part, stretching his head downwards, with almost half of his body sliding out.

"Seven!" He was startled. "What are you doing!?"

Qi said nothing, but his shoulders were trembling slightly. Fang Yong looked down and found that Qi's hands below the elbows were cut off, and blood was dripping down.

Song Shuye also noticed it: "Was it cut off by the claw wind just now?"

Although the wound was serious, the few people were not panicked. After all, there was Fang Yongzai, the healing expert. He was about to step forward, but found something wrong.

——Seven’s two long tails were summoned out, half of them extended under the stairs, and seemed to be pulling something hard.

Fang Yong was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Bing say from behind him, "Hey, where's that little redhead?"

Red-haired...Eve?

Fang Yong suddenly realized something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and without caring to speak, he rushed to the broken staircase: "Eve...Eve!"

With this pounce, Eve's hand just slipped from Seven's long tail. She raised her head, and her bright red hair drew a beautiful line in the air, like a fleeting spark, shining in the air, but quickly sinking.

Fang Yong screamed: "Eve fell down! Quick..."

Before he could finish his words, another gust of wind passed by.

Fang Yong was stunned.

Qi Xuebai's face flashed before his eyes. He was like a silent black meteor. He kicked the ground and followed Eve without hesitation!

In an instant, Fang Yong was left kneeling alone beside the broken bone, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Jump..." he murmured, "He jumped..."

The author has something to say:

7: Wherever the master goes, I go.

Eve: ...the women's room?
