Chapter 6 The Magical Space Ring

A night of fierce wind and torrential rain.

Zhang Lin, who possesses physical abilities three times greater than those of ordinary people, could have prevented An Qingge from dying in bed if he hadn't forcibly controlled his desires.

Early in the morning, while An Qingge was still fast asleep, Zhang Lin had already woken up. He sat up and looked down, only to see that the beauty beside him had a tired face. However, compared to her haggard appearance yesterday, she looked radiant today, despite her fatigue.

"Life is unpredictable." Zhang Lin gently got out of bed, dressed and washed up, feeling a little emotional: He used to not dare to have any thoughts about An Qingge, but now, this beautiful and capable woman already belonged to him.

Zhang Lin took out his pistol, put it into his spatial ring, and left the bedroom.

There wasn't much food left at home, so he had to go outside to find some.

After all, this is no longer a time when he can eat his fill while his whole family is at ease.

With his physical abilities tripled and the pistol having unlimited ammo, Zhang Lin was no longer so afraid of the zombies outside.

The door was still blocked by the refrigerator and wardrobe. Zhang Lin first moved all the things away. The refrigerator was easy to move, but the wardrobe was very heavy. It was a solid wood wardrobe made by the landlord. The two sisters had helped her move it before, but now he could move it by himself.

"Brother Lin, are you going out?"

A voice sounded from behind Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin turned around and saw An Qingwu. She must have been woken up by the sound of Zhang Lin moving things. She was still a little groggy and came out wearing only a thin nightgown.

"Well, we're running low on food at home, I need to go find something to eat," Zhang Lin said as he moved things. "Also, you should call me brother-in-law from now on."

An Qingwu was fully awake and recalled what had happened last night. At first, she thought Zhang Lin had forced her sister with food, but her sister spoke well of Zhang Lin, and she didn't know whether to believe him or not...

But seeing Zhang Lin going out so early this morning, risking his life to find food, she felt that Zhang Lin was at least quite responsible. After hesitating for a moment, she called out, "Sister, brother-in-law..."

"Okay." Zhang Lin nodded with a smile. "Your sister was too tired last night. Go and keep her company. Wait at home for me to bring you some food."

"Okay..."

An Qingwu suddenly felt that Zhang Lin seemed different today than before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

In essence, it's about having a gun in your hand and not being afraid.

Zhang Lin used to be quite tall and not very thin, but because he hadn't exercised for a long time, he was still a bit weak. Let alone fighting zombies, he probably wouldn't be able to fight people either.

And now?

His physical abilities have tripled, and he has a gun, so he's not afraid of anyone, whether it's a human or a zombie.

By this time, all the clutter at the entrance had been moved away.

Before leaving, Zhang Lin gave his final instructions: "After I leave, lock the door and block it with something. Don't open the door unless I come back, understand?"

In the apocalypse, the thing we should be most wary of is not zombies, but our own kind. Countless works of art with zombie themes have taught Zhang Lin this lesson.

Having two beautiful women in the house, along with food, are both sources of danger.

"I understand." An Qingwu also realized the problem and nodded to indicate that she had remembered it. Watching Zhang Lin's back as he walked away, she didn't know why, but she said again, "Um... be careful... brother-in-law."

Zhang Lin waved his hand and left without looking back.

This sister-in-law...is quite well-behaved!

There were no zombies in the corridor at this time, it seemed that no one on this floor dared to go out, so the zombies went to other places to forage for food.

The elevator is out of power; you have to take the stairs.

As soon as I turned the corner and entered the stairwell, a terrifying roar, like that of a beast, rang out, followed by a stench that hit me.

There was a zombie in the hallway!

In the movie, this kind of monster doesn't go upstairs.

But the zombies that actually appeared were moving swiftly up the stairs, faster than wild beasts, and pounced straight at Zhang Lin.

Fortunately, Zhang Lin reacted quickly and immediately took out a pistol from his spatial ring, making a series of "bang bang bang bang..." sounds.

Zhang Lin was also a little flustered, after all, it was the first time he had come into such close contact with zombies. It was only because his magazine was unlimited, otherwise he would have emptied it.

At such close range, even if it was Zhang Lin's first time using a gun, there was no way he would miss. A dozen bullets turned the zombie into a sieve.

Several bullets unexpectedly hit the zombie's head, and unsurprisingly, the zombie died again.

"Holy crap, that scared the hell out of me!"

Zhang Lin squatted on the steps, catching his breath.

"Thankfully, the American-style iaido is working well!"

Without a gun, it would be quite difficult to deal with zombies by yourself.

Gunshots might attract other zombies, so Zhang Lin didn't dare to rest any longer. He quickly got up, went to another fire escape, and went down the stairs.

The passageway had doors at both the entrance and exit, which blocked the zombies from entering, allowing him to reach the first floor without any zombies.

The place where Zhang Lin lives is an apartment complex with six buildings, all of which are apartments. The population density is very high, so there are also many zombies.

He pushed open the stairwell door and saw many zombies wandering around the lobby on the first floor.

Zhang Lin knew that there was a back door on the first floor of the apartment building, which connected to the convenience store downstairs, so he could go to the supermarket to find food without leaving the main entrance.

But the problem now is that he can't even get out of the stairwell.

Although I have a gun, there are too many zombies outside. If I accidentally get caught, I'm done for.
