Volume 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)

Before Ye Chen could breathe as sigh of relief,

froures…

Ye Chen could feel his eyelid twitch; he

hurriedly covered his breathing, see his own

heartbeat, not ures

appear to consist of two men and a woman, dressed in casual clothes A solid

estiests that these people were here for a vacation, when the

apocalypse struck, they were still within the elevator, all three of them

transformed into zombies

The wo a white t-shi+rt,

upon it were cute teddy bear hly in blood,

perhaps one of their friends or faed to resist the virus's effects,

yet was tragically torn apart by the three…

The wohastly,

though her skin did not fester; her eyes were reen, with teeth

protruding into grisly fangs and dried blood caking her lips, altogether, her

originally delicate countenance has beenhideous and

sinister

As for the other two men, their current states

werethe elevator they began

circling around the ih they just

caught the scent of warm blood…

Ye Chen was slightly nervous, it was fortunate

that he got away from the elevator in time, if he had just stood there when the

elevator doors opened, it would have been the end for him

Zoly adept sense of

smell, even if you were to jump into a body of water, they could probably still

sniff you out Ye Chen decided to no longer stay put, keeping still only led to

eventually being found, he suppressed his breathing and slowly backed away,sure to keep as quiet as possible

It's a good thing Ye Chen usually prefers to

wear sneakers, had he been wearing dress shoes or so cleated, it would

have resounded with every step he took, with sneakers, pacing gently should

reduce the audibility of his footsteps greatly

One step, and another…

Every step seemed to take an eternity; it took

him ten steps to reach the opposite corner of the stairs Just then, a

zombified youth from the floor below came, lured by the scent of warm blood, it

i the steps, its eyes

irowl, it raced towards

Ye Chen

This growl immediately alerted the pack of three

zo Ye Chen, their eyes filled

ildness and vigorously dashed to shorten their distance

Ye Chen kneas in trouble, yet he did not

run to the stairs beloing that it would only lead to attracting more

zombies If he were to do so, it would end with hied

chase and ultih he could feel how

sweaty his hand grasping the watermelon knife had become, he did not lose his

cool, within the seconds it took for the zombies to close in; he took in his

surroundings,every detail

”Rrrargh!” the first zombie rushed over from

the top of the stairs, as it was heading doards, its reatly

increased, with claws held high, it swiped towards Ye Chen's shoulders

intending to lock hi into his neck

How could Ye Chen allow this zombie to do as it

wished? He sidestepped the zo it at the

waist at it passed hith of

a zombie plus its doardsinstead

With a kick to its waist from the side, the

zo on the stairs, this caused it to tumble

helplessly to the bottohly disoriented

Ye Chen could not relax just yet, with three

nite the bottle of

gasoline He lowered hi the next male

zo

Due to its own forwarddown the stairs, it didn't tookas

well, it rolled down the stairs and went crashi+ng into the zombified youth down

below This sudden obstruction caused the woman zombie to leap over

With his life in imminent peril, Ye Chenposition at the last moment, he

got up and ruthlessly kneed her in the chest while si the

waterht, with a crack, the knife sliced into more

than half of the wole, held

on by ht was truly revolting

Ye Chen paid her no further heed, as he noticed

the zo up, he hurriedly dashed to the top of the

stairs, whilst dashi+ng, he unstrapped the bottle of gasoline with one hand and simultaneously

retrieved the box of ly deft hand

hted it!

This agile series of movements would have dazed

any onlookers, if it were an average person; he would have panicked and fumbled

at the sight of the zo towards him

”It's over…”

Ye Chen stood at the top of the stairs, with a

lit lanced over the two zo

towards him, as well as another zombie obstructed by the half-dead woman

zoasoline and tossed it towards the

inco water,

simultaneously, he flicked the lit match into the air, with a beautiful arc, it

landed right where he spilled the gasoline

Boom!!

A violent explosion took place right in the

s, the loud noise drowned out

the pathetic screams of the two zombies When the fires faded, only a pair of

charred corpses reled itself off the

woman zombie crumpled on the floor due to the force of the explosion, twitching

slightly

Translator Notes:

The author uses specifically catty which is a

traditional Chinese unit of rams; I took the

liberty of converting it to pounds as it was the closest in weight and I felt it

was more understandable that way However, know that pounds are still slightly

lighter than catties; therefore I will suppleest a

higher number
