my doomsday wish list

Chapter 5 Guilt

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

Suddenly, a group of zombies with festering flesh jumped out of the grass.

This was the first time Zheng Xun saw the originally docile zombies become so manic and terrifying.

Like hungry wolves, they pounced on living humans, the numbness and confusion in their eyes disappearing.

Hunger, killing, and cruelty occupied their eyes.

This is not what humans should be like at all, not even beasts, but monsters.

Yes, they are bloodthirsty and brutal monsters.

Using beasts to describe them is not enough to describe Zheng Xun's inner feelings.

It may be the uncanny valley effect, when facing humanoid monsters.

Zheng Xun felt the chill in the back of his head, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his neck.

Is this the zombie that destroys human civilized society? Zheng Xun can't imagine how desperate and fearful ordinary people are when they face this horrible monster.

Zheng Xun looked at the three sisters Lin Youzhen not far away.

"It turns out that eldest sister will also be afraid sometimes."

"I hope I won't be eaten by zombies too soon!"

Seeing them fall into despair, Zheng Xun suddenly realized that it was they who really needed to panic, not himself.

Unlike Lin Youzhen and the others, he who was ignored by the zombies was more like a bystander, cheater, and even the master of this survival game.

Lin Youzhen didn't care about taking care of the two of them, raised the folding stool high, and patted the zombie who came one step ahead.

"Quick! Quickly withdraw!"

Seeing that she was about to be surrounded by zombies, Yuna quickly supported Maki and ran to the apartment.

Just came to the fire stairs.

But they saw a female zombie attacking, she was a waiter in the cake shop, following them downstairs.

"what!!!"

Yuna let out a shrill howl.

In a hurry.

Maki, who was supported by her hand, pushed over.

The weak girl instantly lost strength and fell towards the zombie.

As for herself, she rushed to the elevator next to her and pressed the lift key.

Lin Youzhen seized the gap and hurriedly turned around and retreated.

She was horrified when she saw Maki fell on the stairs, and Yuna had already run to press the elevator.

There was no time to scold her good sister Yuna, who ran three steps in a row, her brown pleated skirt flying.

when approaching.

She jumped up and kicked the zombies that were pounced on Maki.

More zombies followed, howling ruthlessly.

Hearing the roar of the zombies behind her, Yona trembled and stamped her heels anxiously, her lips turning pale with fear.

She clasped her hands together tightly, praying silently in her heart.

Ding Dong
The elevator door opened.

"Yona!!!"

She went in recklessly, ignoring the good sister calling from the stairs, and pressed the close button.

"Ho ho ho"

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the roar at the bottom of her feet caught her attention, her panic-stricken eyes looked tremblingly towards the floor, only then did she find a half-dead zombie.

"No no. How is this possible?"

Yuna's eyes were wide and wide with excessive fear.

Trembling, he took out the bread from his pocket.

"Bread for you."

"Sister, I am Yuna."

"We often go home together after school. No!"

Ding Dong
The elevator arrived at the third floor, and the door was opened again, but no one came out, only a puddle of blood was left.

Lin Youzhen at the door on the first floor, desperately trying to help the weak Maki.

But the zombies attacking back and forth forced her to pick up the bench to fight again.

"Xiba.!"

She was shocked and angry when she saw Yuna closing the elevator door.

"Ah! Yuna. How could you.!"

Not finished yet.

She had to put down a rushing zombie again, and then reached out to pull Maki.

"Maki, hurry up, cheer up!"

The weak Maki opened her eyes drowsily.

Her pale, peeling lips moved.

He pressed his left hand on Lin Youzhen's hand that was supporting him.

The right arm was also trying to pull out of her hand with force, and the air was like a gossamer.

"Sister Youzhen, leave me alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are sisters, Maki, wake up!"

When Lin Youzhen heard Maki's self-defeating words, the blood tank was instantly filled with blood.

Not wanting to accept her fate, she pulled up Maki's collar and tried to drag her up the stairs.

But the zombie waiter upstairs got up again and jumped down.

Lin Youzhen could only let go of his hands, and raised the bench against the zombies.

When one person and one corpse are fighting.

Maki, who fell to the ground, reached for the girl's back in the void, and her vision gradually blurred.

She slowly closed her eyes and said.

"Thank you, Miss Youzhen"

Maki maintained the last trace of clarity.

Trying to exhaust the last bit of strength in his body, he struggled and rolled on the ground.

He wanted to block the door and sacrifice himself to give Lin Youzhen a chance to escape.

"Maki?!" Lin Youzhen clenched her silver teeth, exerted all her strength, lifted the zombie up, and pushed it downstairs, and she herself fell down the stairs.

The two sisters rolled together.

Seeing the fallen zombie stand up again.

The zombie hordes followed.

The two sisters who fell on the ground had deep despair and unwillingness in their pupils.

Lin Youzhen gritted her silver teeth.

If it weren't for Yuna who only cared about herself.

If it weren't for being too credulous about the safety outside.

If there weren't so many zombies.

They will never come to this point.

"Is it finally over?"

Lin Youzhen murmured unwillingly.

Just as the waiter zombie got up again and rushed towards the two of them.

Suddenly a sharp knife pierced its mouth and nose, and its whole body went limp and was thrown to the side, no longer moving.

Lin Youzhen's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

I saw the helmeted boy standing in front of him, wearing a cool black helmet and a brown leather jacket, the sharp knife in his hand was still dripping with blood.

In the other hand, he held a broken cake bag, and the cake inside seemed to be smashed.

On the floor outside the door, several zombies collapsed.

"Let's go back to the third floor first."

After Zheng Xun finished speaking, he looked down at the cake bag.

The group of zombies who had just gone berserk rushed towards the three sisters and flew past Zheng Xun.

The person was fine, but the cake was smashed. This was a carefully selected birthday cake.

He threw away the cake bag in his hand, it was already rotten anyway, he should get a new one later.

In order to prevent the zombies from being dirty and bloody, he put away the knife, leaned over to pick up the folding stool on the ground, stood guard at the door, and directly used the stool against the zombies who charged again.

He turned around and found that the two of them were still lying on the ground, dawdling, with a dazed and dazed expression because of excessive panic, and then scolded.

"Don't want to live?"

Only then did Lin Youzhen wake up from the astonishment, quickly helped Maki up, and climbed upstairs with difficulty.

When she reached the corner, she glanced back at the man in the helmet blocking the door, with mixed emotions in her eyes, and resolutely continued to climb upstairs.

Zheng Xun resisted the zombies.

Although the zombie in front of him was brutal, Scarlet's eyes never fell on him from the beginning to the end.

It seemed that these zombies were also not interested in him.

It's just that I still haven't figured out the pattern of movement of these zombies. They seemed to have been attracted by the girl's shout just now.

It didn't seem quite right. When they were hiding in the house, zombies gathered at the door.

Did the zombies discover their existence before, or did the zombies smell people's breath, or heard the noise in the room.

The more violent the zombies in front of him became, the calmer Zheng Xun became inside.

When someone is being used as bait, it is perfect to study the patterns of zombie attacks on people.

There were more and more zombies, and there were five zombies crowded at the door, reaching out and scratching frantically towards the stairs, but completely avoided Zheng Xun in front of him.

Zheng Xun stepped back while resisting the zombies, standing on the top of the stairs, which was beneficial to suppress the low zombies from a high position.

The zombies are gathering more and more. Although Zheng Xun is fearless, he can't stand it anymore and gradually loses his strength.

It is obviously impossible to stop the raging zombie group by one person.

He estimated that the resistance time would be enough for them to return to the nail salon, so he let go of the folding bench and made way for the stairs.

Unable to stop them, the zombies rushed up, frantically searching for traces of living people, but found nothing, each of them seemed to have lost their target, sniffing in all directions.

Zheng Xun threw away the folding stool, patted the dust on his hands, and shrugged his sore shoulders.

He walked out of the apartment again, lifted his helmet visor, and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

It may be that he was too close to the zombies, and there was a rancid smell floating on the tip of his nose, which was more disgusting than the smell that wafted from the garbage truck on weekdays.

"Although I won't be bitten by zombies, my physical strength is only a little stronger than ordinary people, so I have to exercise hard."

He reluctantly summed up the experience of this "battle".

Due to long-term malnutrition and selling his health for money, he looked a little pale at an age when he should have grown up healthily.

After taking two steps, Zheng Xun stopped again, seeming to realize something.

"Although it's not much better than ordinary people."

"But in a world full of zombies."

"It seems that I am the only one immune to zombie attacks."

The scene where the zombies attacked Lin Youzhen and the others crazily just now completely confirmed this conjecture.

Zombies in the apocalyptic world are not without aggression.

But really only he can be immune to zombie attacks.

Zheng Xun raised his hand and clasped it with his fingers, his tone showing a little excitement.

"So the zombies should be counted as our camp."

Zheng Xun glanced at the already damaged cake bag that had just been thrown aside, and then looked up at the third floor of the apartment.

"I have to go back and get another cake."

"As for Lin Youzhen, it's time to settle the old and new grudges."

"Maybe it's a pity, but now it can be realized without any sense of guilt. Heh!"

With this in mind, Zheng Xun closed his helmet, turned around and walked towards the apartment again.
