"Uh..." Jiang Ruan, who had just come downstairs and looked at the commotion at the door, was about to say something, but all her words were choked back.

A few of the bolder zombies slowly shuffled inside with heavy steps, but immediately curled up when they came into contact with the light.

They are still afraid of light.

Jiang Ruan instructed An Xia to turn on all the lights, and the even brighter light hindered the zombies' advance.

"Hehehe..."

"Roar roar roar..."

The zombies were driven a bit crazy by the light, banging and yelling outside, disturbing everyone's peace.

"Ruan Ruan, as expected of you, it really is you! They really didn't dare to come in. You're amazing!" An Xia saw the zombies hesitant to come in because of the light, and the pent-up frustration of being suppressed and unable to resist just now suddenly burst out.

She stood under the large chandelier two meters away from them, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the zombies, saying smugly, "You think you're so powerful? You want to bite me? Come on, bite me, eat my flesh and drink my blood, you bunch of incompetent zombies."

"Tch, all you've got is howling and nothing else. You're all blocked by this little light, how embarrassing." Then, as if she wasn't satisfied, she made faces at them and made a few "hehehe" sounds.

After all that, the zombie still hadn't reacted, but she was already exhausted.

"Oh dear, I can't take it anymore. I haven't eaten much since yesterday, and I'm running out of energy. I'm not going to argue with you guys anymore."

After saying that, she patted her chest to calm herself down, then turned and left.

She was going to the kitchen to find something to eat; she could already smell the roast duck.

Unexpectedly, the zombies roared even more frantically than before. Some of them had just been bitten and turned into zombies, some had been turned into zombies from the very beginning, and some had drunk blood after turning into zombies.

These zombies had not completely lost their five senses. Although their bodies were numb and they had lost half of their skills, they still retained some hearing. Therefore, they heard Anxia's words clearly.

Besides their desire for blood and human flesh, her words added a great deal of insane desire to them, desires filled with resentment and jealousy.

Why is it that they became zombies and lost everything—their lives, their wealth, everything—while the woman shouting in front of them has everything?

Resentment began to accumulate between them until it broke through the bottleneck and erupted.

"Anxia, ​​watch out!" Jiang Ruan saw the zombie horde, which had just been afraid of the light, suddenly swarm towards Anxia as she turned to walk away, and quickly went to meet them.

He grabbed the dining table to stop her, saving Anxia's life.

"Ouch, that hurts!" An Xia rubbed her leg, which Jiang Ruan had pulled her to the ground; it was probably bruised.

Just as they were about to ask what had happened, they suddenly noticed that there were more than a dozen zombies standing in their living room, moving toward them with ferocious faces.

The glaring lights slowed them down, but didn't actually harm them.

"No, no, sigh, Ruan Ruan, this..." An Xia's last shred of composure had vanished. She pointed at the zombie, then looked at An Xia, unable to utter a coherent sentence.

Realizing that she might have offended them with her words, Anxia felt extremely guilty.

But there's no time for regrets now; the important thing is to fight them off and throw them away.

Jiang Ruan watched the zombies approach step by step, looked around, and whispered in An Xia's ear, "Where did they all go? I can't see a single one."

“Jiang Yan is dead. They all went to check on him. Wan Mei was with me, but she needed to use the restroom and had diarrhea. She hasn’t come out yet.”

Anxia pointed towards the first-floor restrooms and replied with a mix of helplessness and worry.

"I see, I understand now." Jiang Ruan looked at the zombie thoughtfully, then looked down at An Xia. "Can you get up? Can you walk a few steps?"

An Xia paused for a moment, then stretched her legs somewhat uncertainly. With Jiang Ruan's help, she stood up and took a few steps.

It's just like the old Spring Festival Gala skit "Selling Crutches," where the characters shout, "Try walking a few steps!"

“Good, go to the second floor, don’t come down, I’ll deal with these zombies.” Jiang Ruan pushed An Xia toward the stairwell and looked at the zombies that were about to reach them with a serious expression.

"Ruan Ruan, don't! There are so many, you can't fight them all. I'll stay with you, I'm not afraid of them." An Xia swallowed a few times, picked up a chair leg that had been bounced around by the zombies, stood next to Jiang Ruan, and faced the zombies with a serious look.

Seeing her posture, Jiang Ruan suddenly laughed, from a slight smile to a hearty laugh, and then to a cold laugh. "Xiaxia, believe me, I am not the same as before. In the past, you hired security guards and detectives to help me and protect me. Now it's my turn to protect you."

"Look, I've already awakened my superpowers, which is more than enough to deal with these zombies. Don't worry, just stay behind me. Otherwise, if you're here, I'll have to be distracted, which would be a disadvantage for us."

Jiang Ruan said this to get An Xia to leave, since the zombies were approaching and it would be too late if she didn't make a decision soon.

She's better off alone than with someone else, after all, Anxia is still an ordinary person.

"Okay, Ruan Ruan, I understand." An Xia handed the chair leg to Jiang Ruan and quickly turned and ran up the stairs.

Jiang Ruan looked at the "tool" in her hand, weighed it in her hand, and found it quite handy.

With no worries left, Jiang Ruan focused entirely on fighting the zombies.

She stroked the patterns on her fingers, a slight smile playing on her lips. With a thought, a sword radiating a blue light appeared in her hand. She gently placed the chair leg on the ground, then charged towards the zombie with the sword.

Countless legs, arms, and blood flew around in the living room. The fight scenes that An Xia witnessed were perhaps unforgettable for the rest of her life.

In just ten minutes, the floor was covered with the remains of zombies. Some still had nerves, and after trembling a few times, they were chopped into even more pieces by Jiang Ruan's flying sword.

"My God, this is way cooler than any martial arts movie." An Xia stood on the second-floor railing watching. Her initial worries vanished after seeing what she was doing, and her eyes were filled with admiration and praise.

She wasn't afraid of the chaos. She had seen similar scenes at home before, and she also enjoyed watching horror movies. Although she was scared at first, the contrast between virtual and reality was too great, and people always need time to breathe.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan's party was over, An Xia quickly went downstairs, her face full of excitement. "Ruan Ruan, you're so amazing! What is this? It's such a beautiful sword! It's like something out of a martial arts movie, no, a fantasy movie!"

When it comes to Jiang Ruan, An Xia never hesitates to praise her.

"Oh, let me tell you..."
