Chapter 82
She never even thought about using force to push the door open. Instead, she directly swung her large machete.0
Without a word, she hacked at the door.0
The others' faces showed terror as they hastily withdrew their hands.0
If they hadn't pulled back in time, their fingers would have been chopped off!0
Yun Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes. "Oh my, what a pity. I thought I'd chop off a finger or two."0
The others: !!0
Are you a devil?!0
What are you disappointed about?0
Is there anything to be happy about in chopping off someone's fingers?!0
"Uncles and aunties, your gift has arrived~"0
Yun Xiaoxiao caught sight of the skeletal zombies rushing towards them at the sound, and the corners of her lips curved upwards.0
She yanked open the door and extended a vine from her palm, which hooked onto a window above.0
She soared upwards along the vine.0
The moment she disappeared, the skeletal zombies, hunched over with sharp fangs bared, charged frantically towards the group.0
"Ahhh! Run!"0
"H-help!"0
"Ahhh! Don't bite me!"0
The group panicked, fleeing in disarray.0
Seeing the skeletal zombies charging, the young man in the couple immediately pulled his girlfriend in front of him as a shield.0
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, her pupils gradually turning white with disappointment and despair.0
As soon as the skeletal zombie released her, she lunged at her boyfriend.0
She seemed determined not to rest until she had bitten him to death.0
The balding man and the security guard fought to be first into the stairwell, neither yielding to the other. In the end, both their necks were punctured with five bloody black holes by the skeletal zombie's claws.0
Screams rose and fell.0
The middle-aged couple retreated, faces pale with fright.0
But they had nowhere left to go.0
They wanted to rush out.0
But as soon as they moved, the skeletal zombie suddenly turned, staring at them intently.0
The two immediately felt their breath catch, their eyes filled with despair.0
"Honey, I'm scared."0
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes."0
The middle-aged man held the woman tightly.0
They closed their eyes together, waiting for death to come.0
But the expected pain didn't arrive. Instead, they heard the sound of something sharp piercing bone.0
The couple cautiously opened their eyes to see a small figure standing in the shadow of the light.0
In her hand was a weapon that looked like a cross between a knife and a gun, its tip piercing straight through the skeletal zombie's head.0
The couple's eyes trembled in shock.0
They never expected Yun Xiaoxiao would save them at the critical moment.0
But just then, the man saw the security guard, now turned into a zombie, lunging towards Yun Xiaoxiao.0
"Look out!" he cried nervously.0
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed as she swung out an icicle with one hand.0
The bone-chillingly cold icicle plunged directly into the zombie security guard's head.0
It fell to the ground immediately.0
After that, Yun Xiaoxiao swiftly dealt with the remaining ones in turn.0
She didn't kill the humans directly, but let the skeletal zombies bite them into zombies first before dealing with them.0
That was because killing humans offered no benefits, while killing zombies could increase her time in the space.0
After dealing with the last balding zombie, Yun Xiaoxiao picked up Lord Slasher, preparing to leave.0
"Um... thank you," the middle-aged woman hurriedly expressed her gratitude.0
But the middle-aged man asked, "Why didn't you kill just us?"0
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't turn around, but smiled leisurely.0
"I only kill those who deserve to die."0
She had heard their conversation earlier.0
These two still had a conscience, their crimes didn't warrant death.0
They had just teamed up with the wrong people.0
After leaving this sentence, she dug out the crystal core from the skeletal zombie's head and walked out.0
She left behind only the couple standing dumbfounded.0
When she went out, she saw that the female property manager from earlier and Wang Rongmei had already been bitten by zombies.0
She dealt with them in passing.0
Feng Guohua, however, had run to a spot not far away.0
It seemed that he had abandoned Wang Rongmei and fled by himself.0
But he hadn't fared well either. A skeletal zombie had jumped on him and was biting down on his neck.0
While the skeletal zombie was tearing at him, Yun Xiaoxiao quickly went over and dispatched both the skeletal zombie and him, one after the other.0
When she finished, she realized that Lu Chen and the others, along with Little Cutie, had already dealt with the remaining skeletal zombies.0
Moreover, there was an additional person among them!0
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the figure standing next to Lu Chen, her round big eyes somewhat incredulous.0
Wasn't that... the repair shop guy, Brother Mu Yang?0
How could he be here?!0
"Little shorty?! It really is you!"0
At this moment, Mu Yang also saw her.0
His eyes showed a hint of delight, the corners of his lips curving up to reveal a set of small tiger teeth. His smile was warm, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.0
"So I didn't see wrong earlier."0
Nie Yizhou was surprised. "Brother, you know our little ghost?"0
"Mm, we've met a few times," Mu Yang smiled.0
"Oh my, what a pleasure to meet you! Thanks for your help earlier, we wouldn't have dealt with those ugly zombies so quickly without you," Nie Yizhou extended his hand in a friendly manner.0
Mu Yang shook it gentlemanly.0
"Brother Mu Yang, how come you're here?" Yun Xiaoxiao walked over, looking at him with curiosity all over her face.0
"About that, it's a long story," Mu Yang lightly pressed his lips together.0
"After we parted ways before, I ran into some trouble and got trapped in a factory.0
After I got out, I didn't know where to go on my own, so I thought I'd look for supplies in the city while seeing if I could run into you again.0
Just now, I was looking for supplies in that building over there." He pointed to a commercial building outside the community gate.0
"I saw the zombies at the bottom of the building starting to riot, with quite a few zombies getting their heads burst open by some skeleton zombies.0
I followed the direction the zombies were moving in and saw those skeletons run into your community. At that moment, I caught sight of you."0
He smiled and spread his hands. "So, I came over."0
"But when I first arrived, I couldn't see you anywhere. I thought I had imagined it and mistaken someone else for you."0
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded. So that's what happened.0
If it were someone else, Yun Xiaoxiao might have doubted their claim about wanting to find her in the city.0
But looking at the information on the scum-detection panel, Yun Xiaoxiao was completely shocked.0
[Name: Mu Yang!0
Age: Twenty-four!0
Ability: Metal-based ability! Healing ability!0
Ability level: Level 1 beginner!0
Goodness rating: 85%0
Intimacy: 100%]0
Just like that, the intimacy was 100%!0
"Haha, what a coincidence indeed! Brother, I'm Nie Yizhou. 'Nie' as in 'ear', 'Yi' as in 'one', 'Zhou' as in 'boat'." While Yun Xiaoxiao was in shock, Nie Yizhou laughed as he introduced himself.0
Xiao Feng crossed his arms, his attitude neither cold nor warm.0
"Xiao Feng. 'Xiao' as in 'hero', 'Feng' as in 'beacon fire'."0
Lu Chen glanced at Mu Yang and nodded slightly.0
"Lu Chen."0
He was concise, not using a single extra word.0
In this short time, Mu Yang had basically figured out the personalities of the group.0
He smiled sincerely at them.0
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Mu Yang. 'Mu' as in 'bath', 'Yang' as in 'sunshine'. Pleased to make your acquaintance."0
The group exchanged greetings.0
"It's getting dark. Let's stay in that empty house from last night and leave tomorrow," Yun Xiaoxiao suggested.0
The other four had no objections.0
So, the group headed towards the building from before.0
Perhaps because all the skeletal zombies had died, the agitated zombies outside had also quieted down considerably, and the entire community was temporarily safe.0
