Live Escape: Chased by a Neurotic Boss, Crying for Affection

Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...

Chapter 330 Chaos Erupts

Chapter 330 Chaos Erupts

Finally, Jiang Liyue was certain in her heart that no matter what Chu Li's identity was in this instance, he could not possibly have a bad time.

After all, this person is the game's favorite, always getting top-tier status.

So she didn't need to worry at all; she just needed to complete the mission and see when she could meet her.

With today's events setting the stage, Jiang Liyue guessed that everything was about to fall into chaos, and she didn't have much time to rest, so she quickly washed up and went to bed.

Thanks to Jiang Liyue's experience of being able to sleep peacefully in many terrifying dungeons no matter how noisy the outside world was, she slept very well this time as well.

I didn't see what happened in the neighborhood last night until I woke up in the morning.

Someone encountered zombies chasing them on their way home from get off work. Finally, some kind-hearted people in the neighborhood came to their rescue, and the outcome was predictable.

He failed to save the person and ended up getting himself killed as well. Now, there are about a dozen zombies roaming the courtyard of the residential area.

Seeing this, Jiang Liyue walked to the window and looked at the situation outside.

Sure enough, several strangely shaped "people" covered in blood were wandering aimlessly along the road, limping as if they had no destination in mind.

This is still the result of their community having a low occupancy rate, which is a slightly better situation.

It's said that the city center is now in complete chaos, with thousands upon thousands of zombies everywhere, making it a place no human can go.

These zombies will wander around following the scent of humans. There are few survivors in the city center now, and it is foreseeable that these zombies will spread to the surrounding areas in the future, causing an even greater disaster.

Jiang Liyue continued searching online for information about the safe zone, but still found nothing.

She clicked her tongue and started looking at maps of nearby cities to see where the safe zone was most likely to be built.

She is currently in a densely populated city, where the cost of a disaster would be devastating, so a safe zone is unlikely to be built there.

Jiang Liyue circled several cities that she thought might be safe zones as markers.

Five days later, regardless of whether there is any information about a safe zone, she will set off.

[Neighbors, does anyone have any food? I just moved here a couple of days ago and haven't bought anything yet. Could you help me out? I can afford to buy some myself.]

[Seeking medicine: My daughter has a fever. Does anyone have cold medicine? We can't delay treating her illness, and we can't go out right now.]

Someone in the group asked for help, and soon a kind neighbor came to the rescue.

I have medicine at home.

Come to my house, I have plenty of food.

It's still the early stages of the apocalypse, only the second day, so people can still maintain basic order.

They even have the energy to extend their good intentions.

They may see this as just a short-lived outbreak, which will be resolved quickly once the most difficult period is over.

But they didn't realize that things would only get worse.

Jiang Liyue looked at the messages in the group, shook her head, and took out a box of braised pork rice from her spatial storage.

The tender, braised pork belly is placed on top of white rice, the sauce glistening with a brownish-yellow sheen, and the enticing aroma is incredibly appetizing.

With one bite, Jiang Liyue immediately forgot all her troubles.

For the next two days, Jiang Liyue's life living alone was relatively peaceful; she had food and drink and no one bothered her.

But as she expected, the neighborhood did indeed descend into chaos.

The incident began when a group of men armed with axes and knives pried open the door of apartment 0501 in building 10.

That's right, it's the homeowner who previously showed off his inventory in the group chat.

The group stole all the food from the man's house and beat him up—so far, no one has dared to kill him.

The resident who was robbed started cursing in the group chat.

"This is utterly outrageous! Breaking into someone's house and robbing them—is there no law? I will definitely call the police once I recover. You robbers can just wait to go to jail!"

He also posted several photos of the robbery.

Neighbors also voiced their condemnation in the group chat.

How can there still be such despicable people? Shouldn't we all be more united in this situation?

But many residents seemed to have glimpsed some terrible impending disaster from this robbery, and stopped speaking in the group chat.

The once lively group has suddenly become deserted.

Jiang Liyue felt that things were not that simple.

She stopped looking at the group chat and continued to relentlessly search for the safe zone.

Surprisingly, we finally found some information about the safe zone.

It's a post where the poster says that a safe zone seems to be under construction near his home.

Floor 1: Actually, construction started a few days ago. At first, I didn't know what it was. When I went to check today, I found out it seems to be a safe zone.

2nd floor: Oh my god, there really is a safe zone! We're saved!

3rd floor: It's like a post-apocalyptic novel.

4th floor: Where does the original poster live? I really can't survive here anymore.

...

19th Floor: The original poster is in the suburbs of S City. There's a huge, newly built resort nearby that hasn't opened yet, and there are very few people around. I guess that's why it was chosen as a safe zone.

20th Floor: If you're far from S City, you could also look around for suitable safe zones; there might even be some under construction.

21st Floor: Besides, I think the safe zone can only hold a few tens of thousands of people at most. If there are more, it probably won't be enough. There might even be restrictions on getting in.

Jiang Liyue quickly scanned the entire post and also looked up the location of S City on the map.

It just so happens to be a nearby city, and it's the place she circled on the map before.

It's about 200 kilometers away, and normally it would only take a few hours to drive there, but with traffic paralyzed, it probably won't be that easy.

It's getting late, so Jiang Liyue has decided to set off tomorrow morning.

Before we could even set off, another incident occurred in the neighborhood that evening.

Perhaps inspired by their previous robbery, the men became even more brazen, robbing people from building to building in the neighborhood.

Jiang Liyue heard someone scream.

"You heartless bastards, die!" The voice abruptly stopped.

"Help! Help!"

But everyone else kept their doors tightly shut, and no one offered a helping hand.

Soon Jiang Liyue heard the sound of a heavy object falling from a height, as well as someone's mournful cry.

Even more unfortunately, Jiang Liyue is currently in building 2, and judging from the distance of the sound, those people will soon move from building 1 to building 2.

Indeed, the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse is not the zombies, but the human heart.

[Yueyue: So annoying! So annoying!]

[Haha, I think I can see the impatience in Yueyue's calm expression.]

I'd love to see those guys steal from us Yueyue; then I can show them what a powerful wife she is.
