Lin Zhenzhen fell into a deep sleep amidst her confusion and speculation.
I had only been asleep for a short while when a system alarm sounded in my head.
[Host, host, wake up! They're here!]
Lin Zhenzhen woke up with a start. She opened her eyes and saw a figure reflected on the white wall above her.
The shadow swayed and moved slowly, as if its body swayed up and down as it walked because its two legs were of different lengths.
At the same time, there were also heavy, indistinct breathing sounds.
The zombies are coming!
Lin Zhenzhen tried her best to breathe steadily, but she could still feel her heart beating faster and louder in her chest.
Fortunately, the zombie only passed by their door and did not linger.
Once she was sure he was far away, Lin Zhenzhen crouched down and rolled out of bed.
She gently shook Fan Dandan, but the other woman seemed to have fallen into a coma and did not respond at all.
Then a few more zombies came through the corridor outside the door, seemingly on patrol.
Lin Zhenzhen realized that they were ensuring everyone here was unconscious so that no one would interfere with the next step of the operation.
Organized and strategic, this suggests a team controlled by high-ranking zombies.
This is different from the wandering zombies described in the original book.
Lin Zhenzhen vaguely sensed that the plot had deviated significantly from a certain point.
In short, there's no time to waste any longer.
She closed her eyes and focused her mind.
When I opened my eyes again, my originally light brown pupils had turned into heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green.
Along with the fox eyes, there are also ears, a tail, and a pair of sharp claws.
After fully unleashing her alien form, Lin Zhenzhen possesses keen hearing and night vision.
Most importantly, the fox's strong body odor can temporarily mask the original human scent.
Lin Zhenzhen took off her shoes, revealing a layer of fleshy pads on the soles of her feet, which made no sound when she stepped on the ground.
She quietly moved to the edge of the balcony and looked down through the window.
A continuous stream of zombies dispersed from the center and poured into every corner of the Gu residence.
Lin Zhenzhen spotted two zombies that looked different from the others at a glance.
They drifted apart from the group, occasionally gathering together and letting out low growls, seemingly communicating.
These must be the high-ranking zombies in charge.
After distributing his zombie underlings, an even taller zombie headed southwest.
This zombie is agile and moves very fast.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly climbed off the balcony and followed closely behind.
Lin Zhenzhen watched him walk into a building from afar. It was Gu Bosheng's office, and also the place where Lin Zhenzhen first met him.
If you follow them into the building, which is spacious and offers no cover, you'll easily be spotted.
Lin Zhenzhen hid under a big tree, and she suddenly remembered the defense map that Yu Ziming had given her.
The sign not only marked the sentry posts, but also listed which locations in the Gu residence had communication points.
She remembered that on the third floor here, Gu Bosheng had a living room with a telephone connected to the city's defense department.
Lin Zhenzhen immediately had an idea.
She spread her five fingers wide, revealing the sharp claws that were originally hidden in her paw pads.
She leaped up and easily landed on the tree trunk.
Lin Zhenzhen moved rapidly upwards along the tree trunk.
Halfway up the climb, you can see the view inside through the second-floor windows.
In the solemn and dignified corridor, a small black dot approaches from afar.
The guards in black uniforms were still standing outside the door, motionless.
Lin Zhenzhen was just about to remind them to be on guard when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She saw a trickle of blood slowly sliding down the face of the person standing on the far side.
Bright red blood dripped down from his forehead, which was hidden by the wide brim of his hat, and finally down his chin onto the white floor.
Lin Zhenzhen narrowed her fox-like eyes and then noticed that there was also a ring of bloodstains around the feet of the people next to her.
She was horrified.
Without exception, all the guards of the Gu family were top-notch experts with mutated abilities.
However, before they could sense the danger, they were silently eliminated by the zombie horde.
What exactly is the origin of these things?
The zombie quickly arrived at the tightly closed wooden door.
This is where Gu Bosheng handles his work; it contains military secrets from the Eastern Theater Command.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stretched out his fist and frantically pounded on the door panel.
At this rate, this door probably won't last long.
Lin Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and continued climbing.
Feeling that she had reached the right spot, she stopped, bent down, and prepared to climb from the tree branches to the third-floor window.
Unexpectedly, one section of the branch was too thin.
As soon as she stepped on it, it made a "crack" sound.
At the same time, the banging on the door stopped.
The zombie on the second floor raised its head warily and walked toward the direction from which the strange noise was coming from.
He smashed the glass window in front of him and leaned half his body out to look outside.
The retinas of zombies' eyes have changed, allowing them to see in the dark as if it were daytime.
From his perspective, he saw a large, lush tree with a brownish-yellow hairy stick hanging from its trunk, swaying gently in the air.
The zombie tilted its head, as if it couldn't quite comprehend what it was.
After a few seconds, he finally slowly retreated.
Hearing the pounding on the door again, Lin Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems my fox form successfully fooled the zombies.
She dared not be careless any longer and leaped onto the third-floor windowsill.
Fortunately, the window was open, and she was able to enter the room without any problems.
Lin Zhenzhen went straight to the bedside, picked up the phone, and dialed three numbers.
The noise downstairs has stopped; it seems the zombie has successfully entered the room.
Lin Zhenzhen was getting anxious, but no matter how many buttons she pressed, the phone wouldn't respond.
Could it be that the connector is loose?
Lin Zhenzhen bent down to examine it carefully.
Just then, a soft laugh came from behind.
Lin Zhenzhen's hands froze.
The laughter was very soft, but in the absolute silence of the night, the sound seemed so abrupt.
The low, eerie atmosphere sent chills down Lin Zhenzhen's spine.
Lin Zhenzhen could feel that cold, savage gaze, clinging to her back without moving for a moment.
It was like scrutinizing someone, or perhaps teasing them.
He didn't attack, and Lin Zhenzhen didn't dare to make any rash moves either.
The two were caught in a strange stalemate.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in Lin Zhenzhen's mind.
[Ding! Stealing Hearts Progress Bar +10, Current Progress 16.5/100, Reason for Affection Increase: Unknown]
What the heck?
Lin Zhenzhen's entire pupils trembled.
