Shu Yao, who was already weak, felt even more limp and powerless after crying.

Looking back on the first half of my life...

Born in a mountain village, a left-behind child, he suffered endless pointing fingers and scorn from those around him.

Fortunately, her grandmother loved her dearly and did not think that girls were useless in their studies, like most village women did, and that they should help feed pigs and herd sheep and then get married early when they reached the right age.

Instead, he scraped together enough tuition fees to send himself to the school in town.

Shu Yao did not disappoint her only loving grandmother.

After entering high school, she completed her studies step by step with the help of poverty subsidies applied for by her teachers and money earned from part-time jobs.

Although she ultimately only graduated from an ordinary university, her outstanding looks and indomitable spirit allowed her to successfully enter a luxury store and become a sales assistant.

With her stunning looks, almost superhuman figure, and tireless practice of her sales techniques, Shu Yao's business is booming.

Despite numerous wealthy tycoons repeatedly hinting that she should resign and become a kept woman, she was still under their control.

Houses, luxury cars, and all kinds of designer jewelry—it has everything.

But Shu Yao politely declined them all.

What she wanted to give her grandmother was money she earned honestly, not money obtained through prostitution and sacrificing her dignity...

She saved money by living frugally for three years, and in addition to sending her grandmother a monthly allowance, she finally saved enough for a down payment on a house.

Shu Yao was very happy after moving into her new home.

Finally, we can bring Grandma to the city, away from that heartless mountain village, so she can enjoy her old age in peace...

But to her utter surprise, before she could even bring her grandmother over, the zombie crisis arrived first.

"I must live, I cannot die..."

Thinking of her grandmother's kind face, a resolute look appeared on Shu Yao's weak face.

The zombies kept lurking outside the door.

Even at the risk of being bitten, we must rush forward.

Otherwise, even if they aren't bitten to death by zombies, they will starve to death.

Once the body becomes even weaker, there may not even be a chance to try anymore.

Just as Shu Yao forced herself to stand up, peering through the peephole to observe the zombies' movements, preparing to seize an opportunity for a final stand...

boom!

A sound came from inside the stairwell, attracting the attention of the zombie that had been lingering by the door, which slowly walked over...

……

crunch--

The fire door on the seventeenth floor was pushed open, and Chen Tuo, carrying a short axe, slowly walked in.

"Why is this door even harder to push open than the one on the sixteenth floor?"

Chen Tuo felt a sense of unease.

I have to say, wearing a full-face helmet gives me an incredible sense of security.

However, correspondingly, his vision was somewhat impaired, and his hearing was almost non-existent.

The sound of the fire door being pushed open was barely louder than the sound of a mosquito.

Fortunately, since it's in a stairwell, a place where dirt and grime can easily accumulate, the benefits of a full-face helmet outweigh the drawbacks.

Upon entering the elevator lobby on the seventeenth floor, Chen Tuo looked to his left and the first rooms that caught his eye were 1703 and 1704.

But the door to room 1703 was open...

Has it already been cleared out, or did the homeowner leave without closing the door?

Just as Chen Tuo was about to go forward and take a look.

"Zombies...behind..."

A faint voice came from behind.

Chen Tuo whirled around, and a hideous head with yellow teeth suddenly appeared behind him, lunging at his face in an instant...

……

Shu Yao was extremely anxious.

She saw a figure wearing a helmet walk into the stairwell through the peephole.

Despite their bizarre attire, this was the first living person they had seen since the zombie outbreak began.

As the zombie happened to walk in front of the fire door, it was pushed aside and entered a blind spot when the door opened. When the helmeted figure walked in and looked around, it didn't see the zombie that had been pushed behind the door.

As he walked toward the other side, the zombies squeezed out from behind the door.

Upon seeing humans, it visibly became excited and pounced on them...

Because the door panel blocked her view, Shu Yao couldn't see the figures of the person and the corpse clearly. She could only see the door panel shaking slightly and the red stains that occasionally splashed onto the floor.

"What to do, what to do..."

Shu Yao paced back and forth behind the door, her pretty face full of anxiety.

She understands that she now has two choices.

Firstly, while the zombie was fighting with the stranger, they quickly opened the door and rushed towards the open 1703.

Although there is still a risk of being attacked by zombies, the success rate is definitely much higher than before.

As long as we can break into room 1703 and close the door, we're sure to find something to eat.

As for what happens next, we can think about it slowly...

Secondly, he rushed out to help this stranger.

The other party was wearing a helmet and was dressed so thoroughly that they definitely wouldn't be bitten by a zombie in a short time.

He was knocked down because he was at a disadvantage due to the sneak attack. Maybe he only needed a helper like himself to turn the tide and kill the zombie.

However, this would greatly increase the risk of being bitten.

The other side had helmets and leather jackets for protection, but I didn't...

What to do, what to do?

Shu Yao was in a terrible internal struggle, wavering between helping herself and helping others.

Ultimately, knowing that time was running out, she made her choice based on instinct.

The door opened, and Shu Yao, wearing only a thin top, rushed out wielding a kitchen knife.

Passing around the open fireproof door, the first thing that came into view was blood everywhere and two figures.

Seeing such a shocking scene for the first time in her life, Shu Yao hurriedly closed her eyes and, without even seeing what was happening, screamed and chopped down with the kitchen knife in her hand.

"You son of a bitch..."

Chen Tuo, who had been stabbed in the head, was numb.

He naturally saw Shu Yao rushing over, and knew that the faint prompt from earlier was most likely made by this woman.

Even though he saw that the man had a kitchen knife in his hand, Chen Tuo did not flinch.

But to his utter surprise, the woman rushed out and instead of slashing at the zombies, she swung at his own head!

Thank goodness I wore a helmet, otherwise I would have been dead today...

"Stop! Stop shouting! I told you to stop!"

"Your little mouth can't even close properly before you get a slap in the face!"

"grass……"

After snatching the kitchen knife from Shu Yao's hand, Chen Tuo slapped her, and Shu Yao finally stopped screaming.

At that moment, she was completely stunned...

"What did you say?"

Chen Tuo looked at Shu Yao's slightly open mouth, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

Shu Yao's lips moved again.

Chen Tuo still couldn't hear clearly.

Is that woman a mosquito? Her voice is so soft.

He had no choice but to take off his helmet.

Before she could even speak, Shu Yao rolled her eyes and fell straight down.

Chen Tuo instinctively reached out to help her up, but because Shu Yao was quite heavy, he was caught off guard and slipped due to the black blood of the zombies flowing on the ground.

The two embraced and fell straight backward.

Chen Tuo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his face covered by something soft and fragrant, but he couldn't breathe properly...
