Chapter 11

Last night was Christmas Eve and nothing happened.

In the morning, the system set an alarm to wake Xu Zhou from his sleep.

Xu Zhou stayed in bed for a while longer.

She hadn't slept in a bed in over ten days. Every day, the ground was bumpy and lumpy. She always woke up feeling uncomfortable, and every time she moved, she could hear a creaking sound. Every time this happened, she was afraid she was going to fall apart, but the system said it was normal. Seeing the system's sincerity, she reluctantly believed it and spent some time stretching every morning.

Last night, she touched the bed again and slept comfortably for the first time in a long time.

"System, can you upgrade it and create a portable storage space? I'm not picky. Just put a bed in it for me." Xu Zhou started dreaming early in the morning.

"If you have the energy, you might as well carry the bed." The system's tone became sincere again. "That's easier to achieve."

Xu Zhou said nothing, simply getting up. She opened the curtains. The moon was still hanging in the sky. It was light outside, but the distance was still dark. After standing there for a few minutes, she was about to turn around and pack up when she lowered her eyes and saw a figure flash by.

It was the woman who lived next door who was jogging in the morning. Her steps were light and powerful, and her arms swayed naturally with the rhythm, with both strength and beauty coexisting.

Xu Zhou stopped and watched her disappear around the corner before blinking and saying, "Am I too lazy?"

"No, she tried too hard." The system opened its eyes and protected Xu Zhou's little self-esteem.

"Thank you, I feel comforted."

Xu Zhou took advantage of the moment to finish his reward mission, packed up his things, and went downstairs with Xun Chun. They stood at the hotel entrance, waiting for the woman to finish her morning run.

The woman hadn't returned yet. Xu Zhou, with his hands in his pockets, paced back and forth, looking up at the sky, looking as if he had nothing to do. Xun Chun watched her and followed her example, copying and pasting her movements.

Xu Zhou turned and saw him, her movements pausing as she involuntarily began to scrutinize him. The more she looked, the more she felt something was different. The corpse was still the same corpse, the movements were still the same, but the clothes were no longer the same. Yet, the corpse seemed to be more alert.

"As the saying goes, clothes make the man," she asked, "Does this also apply to zombies?"

The system was busy responding to requests for help from the same system, and casually replied, "Not only that, it actually applies to all living things."

Xu Zhou also thought it was right, and accepted the change with pleasure, and decided to change his clothes more frequently in the future.

Seeing that the woman hadn't come over yet, she reminded Xunchun again: "Remember, don't talk."

Xunchun put his right index finger in front of his lips and nodded seriously.

Xu Zhou gave him a thumbs up.

It wasn't long before the woman returned from her morning run in the cool morning breeze. She was a little surprised to see the figure at the hotel entrance. She had thought she was the one waiting, but she had become the one being waited for.

"Have you been waiting long?" the woman asked, coming closer. She was still panting as she spoke.

"No," Xu Zhou shook his head, "We just came down too."

Xu Zhou raised his hand and pointed to the window of the room where they were resting. He continued, "We saw you running from the window and thought you were almost done, so we came down to wait for you to start."

The woman followed the direction Xu Zhou pointed and saw that among the tightly closed curtains on the second floor, one of the curtains was open. That was the room where Xu Zhou and his friends rested last night.

She said, "Wait a moment, I'm going up to get something. It'll be quick."

"good."

The woman took the stairs to the second floor. Xu Zhou pulled Xun Chun to sit on a chair in the hotel lobby.

The hotel is luxuriously decorated. If the lights are on, the entire lobby will be magnificent. The polished glass will reflect her sitting figure. When she turns her head to look, she will hear the sound of the elevator door running next to her.

Xu Zhou stopped thinking about the past and leaned back in his chair, looking out the glass door.

In her blurry vision, a small black dot unexpectedly appeared in the blue-gray distance.

The naughty little black dot walked left and right, twisting and turning, moving towards the hotel, getting closer and closer.

Continue to rub your eyes during the day.

This time I saw it clearly, it turned out not to be a small black dot, but a person wearing dark clothes and walking upside down.

Oh, it turned out to be a person. She thought she was seeing stars...

wrong!

etc? !

What is it?

Xu Zhou came to his senses, and sat up in shock from his dying state. He suddenly turned his head to look out the glass door. Xun Chun, who was sitting next to him, was influenced by her and looked over as well. Not far away, he saw six people in dark clothes walking towards him.

The six people have different shapes and sizes, and their heights together look like a wavy line.

Xu Zhou frowned.

Rushing to the hotel early in the morning, are you going to take a nap?

I don’t know if it was the woman’s accomplice. She said yesterday that she was alone and didn’t say where her accomplice went.

Should she run away? What if she was caught in a trap? Where would she go?

"I'm ready, let's go." Just as I was thinking this, the woman came down from the second floor. She had changed into a dark red outfit, looking neat and tidy. She said this while adjusting her cuffs.

"Someone's coming." Xu Zhou stood up and motioned the woman to look outside. Xun Chun stood up on her own accord.

The woman took a quick glance and said to Xu Zhou, "I don't know them. Don't worry about them, let's go."

The woman's expression didn't seem fake.

Xu Zhou thought for a while and decided to follow her without hesitation.

Leaving the hotel entrance, the woman turned left, avoiding the path of the six people walking in the opposite direction. She led the way without looking around, while Xu Zhou followed closely behind, not even paying attention to the six people, pretending he hadn't seen them.

The six people, who had just escaped the zombie crisis and rushed to the hotel to rest, also saw the three people in the hotel lobby. The two groups exchanged glances. Seeing that they left without any intention of greeting, the group gave up the idea of ​​exchanging pleasantries and did not step forward to stop them.

Just took one more look.

The youngest newcomer on the team speculated, "That one in the front is their captain, right? She looks very impressive. Captain, is she training the newcomers like you?"

The captain, striding forward with unwavering determination, showed his strength and decisiveness, capable of carrying three men at once, unlike the two men with sluggish steps behind him. It was also now that he felt what his captain had said: the difference between people could be seen at a glance. This was a stark difference.

"Probably," the captain replied, patting the newcomer on the shoulder. "Try hard and surpass her two teammates."

That woman has a fierceness about her, and I guess her teammates are also quite capable.

"Captain, you should surpass their captain first." The newcomer said jokingly, "I think her muscles are even bigger than yours."

"Really?" The captain smiled. "You'll be the vanguard later."

“No…”

The voices of the newcomers playing the victim are gradually fading away.
