Chapter 331 "Chase After Them"
Jiang Liyue did find it troublesome, but she wasn't prepared to wait for these people to come knocking on her door before dealing with it.
Since things have already escalated to this point, she's not going to wait until tomorrow; she'll just leave today.
Jiang Liyue didn't need to pack anything; she put everything into her spatial storage. After thinking for a moment, she only took out a handy crowbar from her storage.
The zombies in this instance are infectious; if she accidentally touches one, she will also become infected. Therefore, it's better not to attack directly and to grab a weapon instead.
Holding her weapon, Jiang Liyue put on a mask and went downstairs and out the door.
She didn't take the elevator, but went straight to the fire escape. Most of the apartment doors were tightly closed, but Jiang Liyue saw that some people still mustered up the courage to come out of their homes—
Staying at home is tantamount to waiting to die. If we can escape before those people arrive, we might still have a chance to survive.
Even though there are still zombies on the road, death is inevitable no matter which way you go, so you have to fight it out.
However, many people are actually hoping for the best. They think those people might not come after them, and why would they steal from them when they've already stolen enough?
It is extremely unwise to try to understand the thoughts of bad people using the mindset of a normal person.
Jiang Liyue quickly went downstairs, where the slow-moving zombies were wandering around the apartment building.
Smelling her presence, he rushed over like a madman.
It wasn't just one; it seemed like all the surrounding zombies rushed over as if they had smelled it.
Jiang Liyue had spied on other people coming downstairs when she was upstairs and observed their reactions to the zombies, but none of them reacted as frantically as she had.
The zombies, which were moving slowly, suddenly went berserk.
It's as if she's a giant, fragrant chicken leg.
It was at this time that Jiang Liyue first experienced the drawbacks of the "strange encounters and strange loves" halo.
For these zombies who lack normal human thinking, all they can feel is attraction to her, and what they feel first is not affection, but—appetite!
Having figured this out, Jiang Liyue expressionlessly struck the head of the oncoming zombie with the crowbar.
A zombie's skull should be hard, but she seemed to have barely used any strength, and it crumbled in two like tofu, her brains exploding.
These lowest-level zombies pose no threat to her, no matter how many come.
Jiang Liyue quickly finished off the nearest few animals and was about to leave the neighborhood to find a car when she heard voices nearby.
"That was so much fun! It was hilarious how scared those losers were."
"Exactly, I never thought my third brother would end up like this. And that woman, they were quite the ladies' man, but they were so ungrateful that they jumped off a building."
"It's okay, let's go check out the other buildings, maybe we can find some pretty girls."
The people speaking were clearly the gang that committed the robbery today.
Under the dim streetlights, they turned a corner and came face to face with Jiang Liyue, who was holding a crowbar and still bleeding.
She was so beautiful, and the way she held the crowbar with a blank expression made her seem like a goddess who shouldn't exist in this world.
There were two zombie corpses lying at her feet.
The group was startled at first, then their eyes lit up.
"Speaking of beauties, there are indeed beauties. Look where this stunning beauty came from," a tall but lewd-looking man taunted.
In their view, Jiang Liyue certainly had some courage to come out of her house and face the zombies directly.
However, these zombies weren't strong to begin with, and a little girl like her could only obediently endure it when facing so many grown men.
"Little beauty, you've got some guts, daring to kill zombies. How about you join us? We promise you won't need to fight zombies anymore, just serve us well."
"That's right, young girls shouldn't be fighting and killing each other."
There were about ten of them, their eyes shining. Before the apocalypse, they had never even seen such a beautiful woman.
Even if they did see them, they wouldn't dare to look at them.
But this is the apocalypse, and even the most beautiful woman can be played with by them.
Jiang Liyue tilted her head under the streetlight, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind their words. She remained silent for a moment before a smile appeared on her lips.
"Will you protect me? Sure."
The men seemed about to say something again, but Jiang Liyue smiled and said:
"Then come over here."
Her calm demeanor was strangely unsettling, and the group fell silent for a moment.
Then he stepped towards her.
Before the fastest man could even get close, Jiang Liyue, with a smile on her face, hit him on the head with a crowbar.
It's the exact same method used to deal with zombies.
To her, killing people and killing zombies were no different, but the man had no idea what she was doing. He didn't even have time to dodge before his smile froze on his face.
The men behind them seemed equally surprised by this scene and were all stunned.
Jiang Liyue was still laughing. Her crowbar, which originally only had the green blood of zombies, now had been mixed with red blood, making it look even more creepy.
"So weak, she might not be able to protect me," Jiang Liyue shook her head with some regret.
After their initial shock, the men reacted with fury. They were all armed and looked ready to kill Jiang Liyue.
Jiang Liyue jumped onto the electric scooter beside her and waved to them, "Oh dear, I have to go now. You guys should protect me first."
The men wanted to pursue her, but suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Because not far behind Jiang Liyue, a large group of zombies had somehow caught up with her.
The zombies had originally been searching for Jiang Liyue by instinct, but now that there was a living corpse in front of them, exuding a bloody aura, they immediately forgot about Jiang Liyue and chased after the men.
Those men had only ever faced one zombie at a time, so they didn't take it seriously.
But now, in front of him was a large group of zombies.
Wait, are there really that many zombies in their neighborhood?
And where did that woman get so many zombies? Did she accidentally disturb a zombie horde?
Jiang Liyue, of course, wouldn't answer those men's questions at this point.
She had already ridden her electric scooter out of the side gate of the residential area.
When the group of men appeared, she spotted a small electric scooter by the roadside. It was a new residential area with few vehicles, and the electric scooter was the closest mode of transportation she could find.
The owner of the electric scooter must have encountered the zombies and met with misfortune when he returned to the neighborhood after get off work. He even left the keys on the scooter, so Jiang Liyue rode it away at top speed.
Let's find a more suitable means of transportation on the way.
On a suburban highway late at night, an electric scooter speeds along.
The electric scooter was quiet and unlikely to attract zombies, but for some reason, a dense horde of zombies followed behind it.
Like those crazy fans who chase after celebrities.
The girl riding the electric scooter, her hair flying in the night wind, turned her head to look at the zombies behind her, and even had a slightly helpless smile on her face.
"What the heck? What's going on?" The driver, who had just parked his car at a nearby farmhouse, stared wide-eyed at the scene on the highway in the distance.
They were a small convoy with five vehicles and a dozen or so people, all of them tall and sturdy, wearing uniforms, and out on a mission.
Upon seeing this, they all looked like they had never seen anything like it before.
Inside the middle of the five cars were two researchers with expressionless faces.
The leader of the convoy approached the middle car and noticed that the handsome man inside, who looked more like a celebrity than a chemistry PhD, was also looking towards the road.
The leader pointed to the road ahead: "It seems there's something going on, Dr. Chu. Should we wait a little longer?"
Chu Li, however, simply stared intently at the small figure on the road and slowly shook his head.
"No need to wait." His voice was cold and indifferent, yet beneath the calm lay a burning madness that was imperceptible to ordinary people.
He said, "Chase after them."
