Chapter 7: Get the First Strike
At this time, Lianyi had quickly thrown away the iron pipe in his hand, took off his coat, and frowned as he watched the corrosive power of the water ball weaken.
The God's perspective did not show Yun Rou's special abilities other than space. Her corrosive water is a deadly weapon. No wonder she was able to stir up trouble later. This should be her hidden skill.
Originally, she wanted to kill Yun Rou directly, so as to complete at least half of the task, but she let her escape. It turned out that the third-level task was not so easy to complete. Lianyi greeted the man in black suit who sent her here again in her heart.
Then she quickly pulled out a black short windbreaker from the space and put it on, picked up the kitchen knife she had looted from the kitchen of 601, and chased after her. She only wasted three minutes, but she didn't see Yun Rou all the way.
When she was walking through the stairwell, she saw Ma Tao's body. She was not his original body. She just glanced at him indifferently, stepped over him, and quickly went downstairs.
It was two o'clock in the morning. She had spent a day and a night evolving her superpowers. It was no longer wise for her to stay here any longer. She was originally an office worker, and she had to eat out for three meals a day. She only had some emergency snacks at home.
Although she had looted everything next door, the little stuff she had was only enough to sustain her for a month. As a tasker, she knew very well that the apocalypse would not end in a month.
Wu Lianyi chased all the way to the door of the unit, but did not see Yun Rou. She pushed the door open a crack, and the number of zombies in the yard increased significantly.
They were still wandering aimlessly, and some of the zombies that had eaten flesh and blood and had dried blood on their lips and chests were moving much more smoothly. Although still slow, it was obvious that they were evolving.
Lianyi just took a glance and gently closed the unit door, because the more sensitive zombies had begun to sniff, as if they smelled her scent.
After going over the nearby terrain in her mind, she knew that there was a large shopping mall one stop away from here. The underground floor was a supermarket, and the upper floors had all kinds of food, clothing and daily necessities. Now it was the third day of the apocalypse, and it was a good time to stock up on goods while some people hadn't reacted yet.
Wu Lianyi knew that she was now a tasker and had to live on behalf of the original owner and fulfill her wish. She was no longer the great monk she once was and needed food, clothing and necessities.
With a light sigh, Lianyi tightened her backpack, gripped the kitchen knife in her hand, put on a black mask of the same style, quietly pushed open the door of the unit, and rushed out in one step.
Her appearance immediately attracted the zombies in the yard, and they rushed towards the ripples like sharks smelling blood.
Wu Lianyi dodged left and right, kicked away the two zombies closest to her, and then took advantage of their slow movements. After chopping off the head of an evolved zombie, she reached the gate and jumped over the 1.5-meter electric door with a light leap. This was the benefit brought by evolution.
After landing, another group of zombies ran towards her. She quickly rushed into the alley where she had previously hidden, and then began to turn around, constantly increasing her speed, trying her best to get rid of the zombies behind her.
Lianyi's series of actions fell into a pair of beautiful eyes behind the window. The other party's eyes were full of hatred. If she hadn't been exhausted from using her superpowers, she would have definitely taught the other party a lesson. This person was Yun Rou.
At her feet were two half-corroded corpses, a father and son, the original owners of the house.
After Yun Rou ran down the stairwell in panic, because of the loud noise and her pretty face, she was noticed by her middle-aged father who was squatting behind the peephole to check the situation. He immediately opened the door and asked Yun Rou to hide in his house.
Yun Rou could tell at a glance that the other party had bad intentions, but she had no choice but to go in, otherwise she would die. Now she was thirsty and hungry. She had just used her supernatural powers in a hurry and ran all the way down from the sixth floor, so she was already a little exhausted.
"Girl, you weren't bitten!"
The man asked a specific question.
"No, the person who pursued me was my colleague. She blamed me for her fiancé's betrayal and wanted to kill me to vent her anger."
Yun Rou knew how to dispel the other party's concerns. While explaining in a low voice, she also turned around in front of the man, showing off her beautiful figure and proving that she had no wounds on her body.
"Hey! How has the world become like this? Come in, girl!"
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with Yun Rou's youth and beauty. He immediately dragged her into the room and quickly closed the door.
This is also the reason why Wu Lianyi failed to catch up with Yun Rou, because she never left the building at all.
After Yun Rou entered, she found that there were only the father and son in the room. The room was a little messy, but she took a quick look and found that there was food and drink, so she felt relieved. Then she pretended to be exhausted and fell on the sofa, and asked the other party for a glass of water.
The young man had already looked Yun Rou up and down, his eyes becoming more and more presumptuous. He even took the initiative to give Yun Rou a piece of bread to fill her stomach.
When Yun Rou had eaten her fill and had some strength left, the young man sat next to her and started to make advances on her. Yun Rou pretended to be frightened and asked the middle-aged man for help, but the man also came over.
Yun Rou's eyes darkened, and she raised her hand to condense a ball of water, which then split into two and hit the two men's faces respectively.
The two men were stunned at first by the water ball that appeared out of nowhere, and then they were hit by the water ball. They did not have the reaction speed of Lianyi and were hit directly. Their eyes were corroded instantly. They fell to the ground and rolled over screaming in pain. They wanted to wipe the water stains on their faces with their hands, but the moment their hands touched the water, they were also corroded.
Yun Rou watched the two people's wailing becoming quieter and quieter, with no expression on her cold face. Coincidentally, the movement in the yard startled her. She looked through the gap in the curtains of the living room on the second floor and saw Wu Lianyi breaking out.
Yun Rou closed the curtains again, then lowered her head to think for a while, and decided to hide here first to see if Wu Lianyi would come back. She prayed that she would die outside! Then she began to study her new skills.
On the other side, Wu Lianyi was approaching the shopping mall as quickly as possible.
The mall was built next to a freeway, so there wasn't a lot of traffic. Besides, the mall was closed when the apocalypse broke out, so she shouldn't have to deal with many zombies. Of course, it's not ruled out that someone else had the same idea as her.
It was just a short distance of one thousand meters, which usually took her twenty minutes at most to walk, but now it took her an hour. She had to swing a kitchen knife to kill zombies from time to time. The black blood in the zombies' bodies inevitably splashed on her, making her look like a brutal murderer.
The fishy and unpleasant smell of rotting corpses under her nostrils became stronger and stronger, making Wu Lianyi frown. After chopping down a zombie that was rushing towards her, she found that the nearby zombies began to rush towards her.
