Chapter 2 (2/2)

“Girls my a**!” Shen Chen said with contempt.

“No girls? Then why did you tell me to come…? I have no interest in men!” Guo Yuan flopped on the sofa chair.

“I called you over to enjoy life…” Shen Chen said randomly, then walked before the window. Right then, the street lamps were just lighting up outside the window. There was a great commotion outside. Shen Chen silently checked his watch.

The hand was right at eight o’clock… A shrill cry pierced the night sky, immediately disrupting the tranquil holiday atmosphere.

‘The apocalypse! It’s here!’

…

Shen Chen quickly looked outside. Through the window, he saw that the glass on the seventeenth floor restaurant was already stained with blood.

A woman dressed luxuriously was pounced onto the table by a friend she had just been whispering with. What aroused her friend’s appetite was no longer the delicious food on the table but the aromatic human atop it. With a swing of its head, it tore a large chunk of meat off the woman’s body. It instantly turned the woman into a bloody person! Fresh blood streamed endlessly from her face. The woman let out a scream that didn’t sound human. She kicked roughly with her feet, trying to escape the terrifying hold, but no one came to her rescue. Death was happening all over the restaurant.

Horror! Gore!

People wailed as they got pounced on by zombies. Before the massive numbers of zombies, humans were as helpless as harvested wheat.

A few people got grabbed by the ankle. They tried to crawl forward while crying, but the pain from their feet told them that the zombies were eating them from the bottom up. They didn’t have time to do anything before they realized that more and more zombies were gathering around them, about to join the feast.

Those who weren’t bitten at first didn’t have time to rejoice in their fortune. They realized with horror that the people who were bitten to death by zombies stood up after a few minutes. The resurrected people became the terrifying monsters and joined the army of zombies that were eating humans.

The people that were killed and then revived were even more scary! Their intestines dragged on the ground, and they waved their broken limbs, attacking the other living humans with bared fangs and open claws!

Everything fell apart. Blood sprayed everywhere. Broken limbs flew in the air. Cries of pain were heard without end. The entire restaurant had turned into mortal hell.

Suddenly, a certain window in the restaurant opened. A middle-aged man bent over on the window, panting. He had just dodged a zombie’s attack, and had even cracked a zombie’s head with a bottle, but it was completely useless!

The middle-aged man desolately looked back at the crowd of zombies slowly approaching him. He let out a painful wail, then his will to live made him jump down from the window! It was the seventeenth floor!

Thump…

The loud sound of a heavy object hitting the ground sounded. It was especially jarring against the melodious hotel music. Through the glass, he could see the man lying on the floor like a thin piece of paper, blood slowly seeping out of his shattered head… The scent of blood attracted the few zombies lingering around the hotel door. Then, blood spewed everywhere.

Guo Yuan let out a sharp exhale. His eyes had widened to their max. “Second! What is going on here?!” Guo Yuan’s jaw dropped, and his expression changed. As someone who had been bathed in the radiance of the civil world just a moment ago, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was more terrifying than a horror movie!

The veins on his hands stood out, and Shen Chen’s eyes dimmed… He could save one person, two people…but even if he were reborn, he couldn’t save many more, because this was the apocalypse… a grotesque, horrible, death-around-every-corner… future…

Suddenly, his expression changed! Perhaps it was the atmosphere in the room, or a slight noise, but a strange sixth sense told him, ‘There’s someone behind you!’

He immediately turned over, rolling off the chair next to the bed, his hand rapidly reaching for Black Blade in his traveling bag. In an offensive stance, he fiercely stared at the person who had come in. It was an attendant! She walked in swaying!

The room card in her hand made Shen Chen quickly realize how she had gotten into the room. The attendant had clearly been attacked by the zombies outside. She was still at the stage of transforming from a human into a zombie. She still had a human consciousness and probably wanted to seek help from Shen Chen, which was why she had opened the door.

Her body shook uncontrollably, and blood clots spewed out of the corners of her mouth. “Help me… There are monsters outside… I… roar… roar…”

The attendant’s face looked panicked for a second, then grim the next. Soon, her soft voice became the same as the zombies. Her red lips cracked wider and wider, then she bared her sharp teeth and a scary “hehe” sound came out of her throat. She pounced toward Shen Chen with staggering steps.
