Chapter 10

"If I get infected... I'll definitely give myself a quick end!"

Zhang Su looked at the zombie that was neither human nor ghost and decided silently in his heart. If there was a chance, he would definitely prepare a "glory bullet" for himself. If it really came to that moment, he could at least leave with dignity!

While pondering and observing carefully, four or five minutes passed, and Zheng Xinyu's voice rang in his ear.

"Let, let me see too..."

Zhang Su looked at Zheng Xinyu, whose expression was complex, resistance mixed with curiosity. She was clearly very resistant, but still decided to try. Contradictory emotions lingered between her brows.

He nodded, didn't say anything, and slowly moved aside.

Zheng Xinyu slowly approached the peephole, smoothing back the long hair that was blocking her vision. When she finally saw the zombie's appearance clearly, it was like being struck by lightning. At the same time, a palm covered her mouth just as she was about to scream.

"*Umm... * *whoosh, whoosh... *"

Zheng Xinyu only let out an extremely slight muffled groan, followed by rapid breathing, leaning against the wall of the entrance, patting her heaving chest, her face filled with irrepressible horror.

Zhang Su had no time to comfort Zheng Xinyu. He hurriedly leaned toward the peephole and found that the zombie didn't have any reaction, still circling around on its own, like an old donkey being blindfolded to grind grain.

"The sound just now was indeed not loud, but in such a quiet environment, even I should have been able to hear it. It actually couldn't hear it. It seems the zombie's hearing isn't as sensitive as I imagined!"

Zhang Su stared at the zombie's ears. Except for the color not being like a normal person's, the shape hadn't changed.

"Feeling better?"

Zhang Su observed carefully for a while and looked at Zheng Xinyu, who had calmed down a lot.

"Let me see again..."

Zheng Xinyu pressed her palm against her chest, her face filled with terror and stubbornness. Without waiting for Zhang Su's agreement, she leaned over again.

Zhang Su was already prepared to cover her mouth, but found that Zheng Xinyu's performance was much stronger than before. Except for her heaving chest and slightly trembling fists, there was no other excessive reaction. He simply stood to the side and thought quietly about how to deal with the zombie.

The two stood there quietly, one observing, one thinking, time passing second by second.

While Zheng Xinyu was watching the zombie and overcoming her inner fear, she didn't know that there was also a pair of eyes behind the peephole of the 802 door just a stone's throw away!

The unit where Zhang Su lived had two households per floor. The area of 802 was larger than 801, a three-bedroom, two-living-room layout that was transparent from north to south, with over 120 square meters.

A young woman wearing a silk nightdress had a pretty face even whiter than the fair calves exposed under her skirt, sticking to the door like a large gecko, her movements comical.

Looking at the zombie wandering in the corridor outside the door, the terror in her eyes almost overflowed.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Xinyu pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze, rubbing her neck and shoulders, which were a bit stiff from maintaining one posture.

The two returned to sit far away from the front door. Zhang Su looked at Zheng Xinyu with an approving look: "Not afraid anymore?"

Zheng Xinyu nodded uncertainly: "Still a little, but I can accept it. At least I won't crash because of fear."

"Not bad to be able to do this in a short time. Since you're not afraid, how about we kill that guy together?"

Zhang Su threw out the question.

"Ki, ki, kill? Is it appropriate?" Zheng Xinyu's little brows furrowed, looking very conflicted.

Zhang Su asked doubtfully: "What's inappropriate about it? You don't think that's still a person, still Brother Li, do you?"

Zheng Xinyu blinked and asked back: "Isn't it?"

"Of course it fucking isn't!" Zhang Su flicked Zheng Xinyu's fair, oily forehead, instantly leaving a small red dot, and continued: "From the moment the zombie virus controlled him, he was no longer a person!"

Zheng Xinyu nodded in confusion: "Even if you're right, why kill him? Are you planning to go downstairs to get things? No need, our food and drink are enough to last half a month. Don't take risks!"

Killing a fish, Zheng Xinyu felt she could try. Killing a zombie was simply too much. Being able to watch a zombie through the door without fear was already not easy; she couldn't guarantee whether she could remain calm when facing a zombie directly.

Just as they were talking, the sound of a helicopter rang out in the sky again. This time, the sound was even denser.

Zheng Xinyu hurriedly walked to the window, pulled open a slit, looked at the sky following the sound, and then said to Zhang Su behind her with joy: "More than ten helicopters, it must be the special police reinforcement troops, right?"

Zhang Su didn't commit. A pair of pupils had basically returned to calmness, looking blankly at the helicopters sweeping across from the distance.

"Brother Su, let's just wait quietly at home. The reinforcement troops have arrived. It is estimated that the situation will be controlled soon. Perhaps the rescue will be faster than we imagined. Really, don't do dangerous things!"

No one told Zheng Xinyu that those in the sky were reinforcement troops, but she deceived herself, and she really believed it.

"If you think there's too little food, it's okay, I'll eat less and leave it for you. Don't take risks!"

Zheng Xinyu said almost pleadingly.

In her view, there were two things that could give her a sense of security: one was Zhang Su, and the second was the tightly closed front door.

In her view, once that door was opened, endless terror would roll in, eventually swallowing her in a sea of blood.

After hearing Zheng Xinyu's words, Zhang Su's heart moved slightly. The serious expression on his face faded, replaced by a light smile: "Willing to eat less yourself and leave things for me, being so good to me—could it be that you have a crush on me?"

Zheng Xinyu didn't expect Zhang Su to tease her at such a tense time. She rolled her eyes at him, her gaze dodging slightly, but thinking of the current situation, she became even more determined.

"Right, this old lady has taken a fancy to your muscles, so what? You dead eunuch!"

Zhang Su thought the first sentence sounded quite good, but what was up with the last three words?

"Dead, dead eunuch? I change girlfriends every three months. You can't imagine the happiness of my brother!"

Zhang Su curled his lips in disdain.

"You..." Zheng Xinyu felt speechless, angry: "Just keep blowing. The more you lack something, the more you blow. If you really changed girlfriends every three months, I've hinted and suggested to you more than once, and I'm not ugly. You're like an old monk!"

If it were really as Zhang Su said, changing girlfriends every three months, Zheng Xinyu believed that for such a playboy, there was no reason not to eat the food delivered to his mouth!

She didn't resist playboys; she was just afraid he was gay!

"This..."

Many of a man's behaviors are mainly based on whether there are benefits. When two benefits appear and only one can be chosen, they will tend toward the greater benefit...

Zhang Su could naturally feel Zheng Xinyu's show of favor toward him, but in his view, a tenant becoming a girlfriend meant not only losing rent but also subsidizing many other expenses. How could this deal be anything but a loss...
