Meanwhile, on the twelfth floor.
Zurich was hiding behind an open door.
This was the first room with an open door that she encountered after climbing three floors.
Logically speaking, since the door was open, it must have been because the people inside were in danger that they opened the door to escape.
The source of danger inside the house should also be chased out!
However, things did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.
There was a faint scraping sound of plastic scraping inside the room. Although the noise was very small, it could still be heard because it was close to the door.
Through the crack in the door, Su Li could see that the source of the noise wasn't in the entrance hall, but the sound wasn't far away; it must be around the corner behind the entrance hall.
To go or not to go?
Su Li hesitated.
The reason for her hesitation was not that she didn't want to risk going upstairs, but because there was a tennis racket hanging on the wall of the entrance hall!
Upon seeing the tennis racket, Su Li's heart, which she had been trying to keep calm while climbing the stairs, immediately began to pound wildly!
Although it is just a sporting tool, tennis rackets are quite heavy and can be used as self-defense weapons!
Especially for someone like her who has nothing to offer and can only be someone else's food!
Su Li felt like she had been standing outside the door for a while, but it was only a few minutes. No one knew if there was a second danger waiting for her upstairs, so she decided to get the racket first!
What if there are zombies in the house...
Let's fight then! We were bound to have to take this step sooner or later!
She's already climbed up, so it wouldn't be right for her to be so cautious and afraid to do anything; that would be a waste of the energy she'd spent climbing the stairs!
So she tiptoed off.
The sound of plastic rubbing inside the room had decreased significantly, but there was now a bit more of the sound of chewing hard objects.
Upon hearing this voice, Su Li frowned, finding it somewhat strange.
That sound... it sounds so much like someone eating fried food.
Do zombies eat fried food?
At this moment, she had already stepped into the entryway with one foot, and the things inside still hadn't noticed her presence, while her hand had already touched the hanging tennis racket.
She took a deep breath and carefully took the racket down from the wall. When she finally gripped the racket handle with both hands, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at that moment, she suddenly froze!
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the corner of her eye!
Small and round, it sat quietly on the floor in the corner of the entryway, watching her!
Having spent years immersed in various post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, four words immediately flashed through Su Li's mind:
Mutant, alien, animal, thing!
Mutant animals in post-apocalyptic worlds are often depicted as being much more powerful than zombies!
She had completely forgotten about this thing!
She froze for two seconds before carefully shifting her gaze.
Little by little... Then, after seeing the true form of that black thing, she was stunned!
The thing crouching there watching her was actually... a black cat?
The black cat did not intend to attack Zuli.
Although it was only for a few seconds, Su Li still noticed that the cat did not seem to have mutated.
Although it looks a bit dusty, you can still see that its fur is smooth and that it has a pair of bright blue eyes with the lively expression of a thinking creature.
Despite this, Zurich remained vigilant.
She slowly moved the racket in front of her, placing it between herself and the black cat, then looked at the cat and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Mimi?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the cat, which had been calm just moments before, suddenly stand up with all its fur standing on end, its cat eyes staring intently at her, and its mouth opening to hiss at her!
"ha……"
Su Li was startled and wanted to back away!
But at the same time, I suddenly felt a foul-smelling wind rushing towards me from behind!
Alarm bells rang in her mind immediately, and her body reacted almost simultaneously, crouching down and rolling to the other side while her eyes looked back at the spot behind her!
Zombies!
Damn it, when did they appear? Shouldn't zombies be slow and sluggish these days?
The appearance of this one didn't cause a single sound!
Su Li quickly got up, realizing that the black cat's attack was not directed at her!
At this moment, she was in the same corridor as the zombie, and could reach it with just a reach of her hand. With no other choice, Su Li could no longer care about the situation in the room. Before the zombie on the ground could get up, she turned around and stepped into the larger and more spacious living room!
At the same time, she slammed the tennis racket in her hand down hard on the zombie's head!
This time, she used almost all her strength!
It's unclear whether the zombies of today are truly like those in novels, not yet having begun to evolve, or whether they are simply killing monsters without any sense of feeling or pain!
Faced with Su Li's powerful slam, the zombie took the hit head-on!
Su Li felt a numbness in her hand, and a small part of the zombie's head dented in!
She was overjoyed and quickly struck again, instantly making the shallow crater on the zombie's head even deeper!
But the next moment, Su Li felt a lightness in her hand!
The racket actually broke!
The heavy front part flew out and hit the wall with a loud "thud!"
Su Li was dumbfounded. What a piece of juggling equipment! It broke so completely in just a couple of uses. Was the quality really that bad?
The zombie in front of them had taken those two hits, yet it was still able to move as if nothing had happened!
