“Zhou Yingying’s struggle to boost her status failed, and Ye Lingwei’s position as the first sister of Starway Entertainment remained strong.”
“Ye Lingwei wore a watch worth four million yuan to Zhou Yingying’s celebration banquet.”
“Zhao Wenxuan, the second son of the Zhao Group, fell in love with Ye Lingwei at first sight, and Yingying’s face was dark throughout the celebration banquet.”
“The second son of the Zhao Group said to start pursuing Ye Lingwei.”
“According to insiders, the four million yuan watch was gifted by Ye Lingwei’s mysterious boyfriend.”
The reports came out one after another, cheering up instantly.
Lu Chuan sat on the sofa, and when he discovered the news, it was already the evening of the second day after Zhou Yingying’s celebration dinner. Lu Chuan, who had just returned from the apocalypse, took a bath and unintentionally chanced upon the news on his phone.
He glanced at Ye Lingwei’s photo. She looked like a dignified princess in the photo and exuded a graceful, luxurious beauty. She was indeed as beautiful as a fairy.
A person like her seemed to belong in a fairytale.
Normally, such a perfect woman would only appear in one’s dreams.
Her dress and the watch he had given her went seamlessly together.
All of it made her mesmerizing.
But…
Lu Chuan was a bit bitter, because Zhao Wenxuan, the second son of the Zhao Group, stood beside her like a knight. He wore clothes that fit the occasion and had a handsome face… He was the real deal, a tall, wealthy and handsome man.
The Zhao Group had assets of more than 60 billion yuan, and was a real giant.
His own woman was protected by another man. Lu Chuan could only smile bitterly.
Firstly, he had a delicate relationship with Ye Lingwei.
Secondly, he was still a poor salaried worker. Compared with Zhao Wenxuan, he was not worthy.
No matter how he looked at it, Ye Lingwei and Zhao Wenxuan were well matched.
Looking at the reports, Lu Chuan first clenched his fists, then gradually loosened them. His anger calmed.
“Who am I to her? To put it bluntly, I was just lucky, a bastard who took advantage of her, a bastard who had coincidentally taken something that didn’t belong to him. What right do I have to be angry?
“I should laugh, cheer, feel lucky that I could have an enjoyable night with a goddess.
“Zhao Wenxuan should be envious, jealous, and hateful. Because I have done everything he is thinking about now. Not just him, all the men in this country should be jealous.”
Lu Chuan muttered to himself in something like self-comfort.
Looking at it from another angle, it was already heaven’s blessing for him to have received so much. With his current status, what right did he have to stop Ye Lingwei’s pursuit of happiness?
“It’s just a fantasy of the undeserving.”
Lu Chuan smiled faintly and looked at the picture of Ye Lingwei.
Perhaps, one day, he would be able to stand in front of her outrightly and hold her in his arms. Lu Chuan firmly believed that this day wasn’t too far off.
……
Countdown to the zombie attack: 3 days, 12 hours, 33 minutes, 41 seconds.
The bright red countdown made Lu Chuan feel a sense of urgency, as well as frustration.
There were three days left, but the second product, the zombie dog, wasn’t unlocked yet. How could Lu Chuan not be anxious?
Zombie dog fragments: 4/5.
With just one last fragment left, it seemed difficult to encounter more zombie dogs in the vicinity.
Continuously making sounds would incur losses.
In addition to Police Zombie 04, four more civilian zombies were lost one after another. They were not killed by the Tyrant, but by a new kind of zombie.
As brand new zombies, they weren’t very special, and if he wasn’t paying attention, he could easily mistake them for ordinary zombies.
This kind of zombie had an appearance that wasn’t much different from ordinary zombies.
The difference was in its power and speed.
Compared with ordinary zombies, the newly-emerged zombies were also simple-minded, but they were more sensitive and brutal in their performance—and more aggressive.
The new zombies were more dangerous than ordinary zombies.
If he had to break them down into levels, ordinary zombies would be at the lowest level, which could be classified as first-level zombies. Zombie dogs may have a different structure but they also belonged in the rank of first-level zombies.
Moving up, there was a new type of zombie with slightly stronger abilities than ordinary zombies.
Lu Chuan could not rank them, but for the time being, he could classify them as second-level zombies.
Stronger power meant that they dealt heavier blows, and their bites and claws were fiercer. Faster speed meant that their running speed was completely on par with that of humans, and their endurance was beyond imagination. If they don’t hunt it down, they wouldn’t be able to get rid of it at all.
The zombie crisis reminder mentioned that there was a small chance of zombies one level higher than the biochemical plant appearing. Lu Chuan had a strong hunch that the zombies one level higher that could appear were the new type of zombie he had encountered.
The danger of the apocalypse had unknowingly increased.
Lu Chuan became more cautious about the zombie attack this time.
……
Bus Driver Zombie 09 carried a car door and walked to the center of the street.
There were zombies wandering aimlessly around him. Bus Driver Zombie 09 was behaving weirdly, but they ignored him and wandered around soullessly.
Ding dang…
A loud noise suddenly rang in the street.
Bus Driver Zombie 09 slammed the car door severely onto the street.
The collision between metal and cement caused a loud noise that echoed through the street.
All the zombies nearby paused when they heard the noise.
After a few tenths of a second, it seemed as though their nerves were triggered, causing these zombies to fall into a violent state. One by one, the zombies went crazy and started rushing in the direction of the sound.
On the streets, the zombies were pressed against each other.
Stimulated by this sound, the zombies fell into an uproar. Wave after wave of zombies surged, forming a tidal wave of zombies.
Even Lu Chuan was frightened into a cold sweat when he saw this scene.
If he drew their attention on the street and formed a wave of zombies, there was no way to escape; he would be overwhelmed by them and be left with nothing.
Fortunately, it was now the “products” who were executing his instructions.
Bus Driver Zombie 09, who had made this kind of noise, sank into confusion when Lu Chuan lifted the order. He dragged the deformed door, “pretending” to be innocent.
Of course, it was an overestimation to say that he was “pretending.” To zombies, it was their own nature.
Countless zombies surrounded Bus Driver Zombie 09.
Then…
Sensing no indication of life, the zombies dispersed.
They had no intention of punishing Bus Driver Zombie 09 who had just teased them.
Amidst the zombies, there was one with extremely sharp eyes. It staggered over and approached Bus Driver Zombie 09, launching an attack without hesitation. It moved very quickly, its movements rapid and its strength amazing.
This zombie held Bus Driver Zombie 09 with his arms, and his mouth went for his neck.
The sharp and mutated teeth snapped Bus Driver Zombie 09’s neck in just a few bites, leaving only a trace of it attached to the body.
“F*ck…”
Through the holographic projection, Lu Chuan could see all this clearly. He cursed.
Since his head was bitten off, needless to say, Bus Driver Zombie 09 could be classified as a loss. One hundred thousand yuan gone in an instant.
With a thought in mind, Lu Chuan zoomed in the holographic projection, and the zombie’s face was magnified. Its entire form was displayed in the holographic projection.
“This is the mutated zombie?”
Looking at this zombie, the decay was less severe and it didn’t only consist of rotten meat, there were also dark red muscles. Otherwise, it had the same appearance as an ordinary zombie.
If it hadn’t launched an attack, even Lu Chuan wouldn’t have noticed it.
Pitiful Bus Driver Zombie 09. Without Lu Chuan’s instructions, he was just an ordinary zombie, at the mercy of others.
