“F*ck!” Pan Di swore as he raised the fire axe and chopped off the zombie’s head. As the zombie’s head fell off, its arms started flailing about in response.

“Not bad, Fourth!” Guo Yuan patted Pan Di on his shoulder.

Pan Di was all smiles. “Bro, this is my tenth kill! How about you?”

Guo Yuan was not to be outdone. “Nine, but I did it in less time!”

“Both of you are doing well. I think it won’t be long before we wipe out all the zombies in the hotel,” Li Qi said cheerily. With the two of them around, there was no need for him to lift a single finger. All he had to do was watch out for the zombies. He felt absolutely safe.

To survive the apocalypse, one had to stick with people like this, unlike that stupid Zhao Ze, who resisted for the sake of resisting. He hadn’t realized that money and power meant jack sh*t if one couldn’t survive.

It had to be said, however, that Li Qi was indeed a smart person. He knew how to say all the right words, and those words worked really well on Pan Di.

Pan Di also said cheerily, “Bro, don’t worry. Stick with our boss, and everything will be all right!”

“Aye, aye! I’ll count on you then, bro!” Li Qi responded.

The cheerful atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps. Guo Yuan immediately said to everyone, “Hide!”

The three of them quickly hid in a corner. After a few seconds, they saw Zhao Ze running toward them like a madman.

“Zhao Ze!”

Guo Yuan was surprised to see him alone, and promptly went up to him, asking, “Why are you alone? Where’s boss?”

“Fourth floor! Fourth floor!” Zhao Ze appeared to be really jumpy, as if there were fleas on him.

“What’s wrong with the fourth floor?”

“There were so many zombies on the fourth floor! Boss got stuck!” He wrung his hands and paced about, as if he were walking on hot coals. “I managed to get out, but they’re still up there!”

“F*ck!” Pan Di spat. Worried, he said anxiously, “Let’s go, Guo Yuan!”

Guo Yuan asked somewhat tentatively, “Where?”

“To save boss!” Pan Di dragged Guo Yuan along. “Let’s move it!”

Guo Yuan was indeed hesitant. His gut told him that something wasn’t quite right. “Don’t be rash. Boss said to rendezvous on the third floor.”

“What do you mean by this, Guo Yuan? Are you suggesting that I’m lying to you?” Zhao Ze said indignantly. “Boss is in imminent danger. What are you trying to do?”

Guo Yuan suppressed his anger and held on to Pan Di. “Fourth, boss can take on three of us at once. If he can’t handle those zombies, no one else can. We’ll just be putting ourselves in mortal danger. Even if boss can’t handle all of them on his own, he’ll still be able to run away from them. So we shouldn’t go up.”

At his words, Pan Di also started wavering. There was a sinister glint in Zhao Ze’s eyes as he snatched Li Qi’s fire axe. “D*mn it. Why do you keep trying to stop us, Guo Yuan? Are you trying to replace Boss?”
