On July 25th, for three consecutive days, Chen Jin'an and Zhang He secretly observed the movements of the villa across the street through binoculars from their own balcony.
"Damn it, are they planning to die in the villa? If they won't come out, then we'll find a way to lure them out!" The three-day wait had exhausted Zhang He's patience. He decided to go out himself to attract zombies to take revenge on those who disrespected them. He had awakened the superpowers that were talked about online, and he was not afraid!
The villa area where they lived was in the suburbs of City A, far from the city center, with a smaller population, so the number of zombies was relatively less than in the city center.
The zombie virus spread rapidly around the world in just five days. Schools closed, factories shut down, and every household followed government orders to stay home.
Although the government issued orders when the first zombie appeared, it was still no match for the speed at which the zombie virus spread.
At this time, City A and other places were in an uproar. Most of those who ate the infected seafood caught from the sea had also turned into zombies.
Inside the rented room, a wife who doesn't eat seafood is attacked and bitten by her husband, who has turned into a zombie after eating seafood. She lets out a sharp scream, "Ah, husband, don't come any closer! Ah!"
The young man in the next room sat on his bed, shivering and clutching his blanket, listening to the eerie noises coming from next door.
He took out his phone to record a video for help, and posted the video online, indicating his location.
The video only vaguely shows his appearance, and the screams of the woman next door and the sounds of zombies eating things make it even more terrifying.
Video caption:
"Help! I'm in apartment 301, unit 2, building 1 of Anju residential complex. It seems like the family next door has turned into zombies. Should I run away or stay home? The food we have left will only last for one day!"
Within a minute of the video being posted, it received feedback from many netizens who were also watching it online.
Momo: "Don't go yet. Is your neighbor's door locked tight?"
Good luck and great fortune: "Run! Is there a convenience store downstairs? Go to the convenience store and go straight home, without stopping."
Pizza with free shipping: "What should I do? My whole neighborhood seems to have been overrun by zombies!"
I love money, money loves me: "Don't go! I just saw the official announcement, the army is coming to rescue us soon!"
Cilantro is all dead in the world: "Take a good look around your house to see if you have any expired instant noodles or anything like that. Just hold on for now. The family next door is in the same situation as you. They've been out all day and haven't come back yet."

Song Yuanqing happened to see this post while surfing the internet, and read its contents aloud.
Lying on the bed playing with her toes, Ye Zhi curiously leaned forward. Zombies? She'd never seen one before. She was really curious. Were they even uglier than those ugly monsters in the cultivation world?
[Why is the video so dark? The zombies' voices are awful. The person in the video shouldn't go out; the army will come to rescue them.]
According to the original story, the country acted very quickly. On the seventh day after the apocalypse broke out, the country dispatched a large number of troops to provide assistance and quickly built the Z base, recruiting people with superpowers from all over the world.
The base was built in the sparsely populated northwest region, where there are few people and few zombies, allowing for rapid construction.
The government only provided aid once, on the seventh day after the apocalypse began, and then stopped because there were simply too many zombies—so many that half of the soldiers who went on the first rescue mission were killed.
However, the official address of the base has also been published online.
Those survivors who lived closer to Base Z and missed the first rescue spontaneously formed a survivor team and headed to Base Z.
Those who lived further away formed two unofficial bases: Base D in the east and Base N in the south.
Ye Zhi glanced at the video and lost interest, continuing to play with her toes.
Song Yuanqing left a comment below the distress video.
Little Sweet Bean's beautiful mother: "The military will be here soon, hang in there!"
After replying, he stopped looking at his phone and played with Ye Zhi.
Grandpa Song was watching TV in the living room when the anti-Japanese war drama suddenly switched to an official news broadcast: "Tomorrow, the official rescue team will arrive. Anyone who needs to go to Base Z, please send your address to the email address below."
"Should we go?" Old Master Song turned to look at Lu Ke, asking for his opinion.
Lu Ke was also conflicted, so the two of them called down all the family members and held a meeting.
Grandpa Song showed everyone the news broadcast on television, asking, "What are your opinions?"
Song Yuanqing spoke first, "No, we're not going. Little Sweet Bean is still so young, and we have enough supplies. There's really no need to take such a big risk to go to Base Z."
Ye Jingyu continued, "Now everyone in our family has superpowers, and we've been reinforcing our villa these past few days, so I don't think it's necessary for me to go."
Grandpa Song thought of another aspect, "But if everyone in City A leaves, will our family become a prime target for zombies?"
Ye Yubai retorted, "No, zombies have a limited range of perception. As long as we keep a low profile and regularly clear out the zombies gathered around, the villa won't be surrounded. We can stay inside the villa in the early stages."
Moreover, zombies migrate. Low-level zombies feed on humans, and if an area is deserted for an extended period, zombies will spontaneously form hordes to attack human territory.
