We were drunk, Lily.\" Xuewei apologized first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we didn’t mean it,\" Shihan said next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lily cross her arms in anger, the atmosphere grew more and more awkward until somebody suddenly walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, excuse me. Can I invite one of you beautiful l-ladies for a dance? S-Sorry if this sounds abrupt, but one of my friends dared me t-to do this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them immediately turned towards the voice, only to see an extremely nervous-looking young man with a baby face and glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t for the fact that they were in a bar that required an ID check, they would have thought the young man was too young to be drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. I don’t mind it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Lily and Xuewei were a little shocked as they watched Shihan take the initiative to grab onto the young man’s hand and walk onto the dance floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t say a single word as they rubbed their eyes again and again to double-check. Only to see them dancing to the music together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuewei, am I drunk, or did I just see Shihan accept that skeleton-looking whiteface?\" Lily quietly asked as she stared towards the empty cocktail in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we’re all drunk—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, sorry to ask this. Can I dance with you? I know this sounds stupid and crazy, but my friend also dared me to do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As another young man walked up to their table again, the two of them could see through the gaps of the dance floor for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small group composed of mostly young men, sitting at the table across the other side of the dance floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m good. Xuewei, you can go if you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure? I can sit here with—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’re a sucker for muscular men. Just go, I’m fine sitting here by myself.\" Lily murmured, putting the empty glass onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then! I accept your offer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woohoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xuewei walking off onto the dance floor with the muscular-looking young man, Lily turned her chair around as she stared towards the dance floor in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of men and women were just dancing to the music in front of the DJ, who was constantly swirling his hand on some sort of music disk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, can I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost. I already have a boyfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily quickly glanced over to the group again, only to see the young man being laughed at as he walked back with defeat on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, everyone, everyone! This next song is a masterpiece I made before the outbreak! You all ready for my magnum opus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DJ yelled as he stopped the music, looking down at the crowds of men and women whose faces looked extremely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready... Let it Rip!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the music turned back on, everyone was dancing once again. Even those who were sitting at the service bar joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young men and women alike were dancing their life away while she sat alone at the table. The more she watched, the more she started to regret the offers from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone put your hands up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I say jump, you jump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole bar shook a little as everyone on the dance floor jumped, with the music increasingly becoming louder and louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily, why are you sitting here? Join us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m good, Jiejie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Lily, don’t just sit here. You still can dance. My sis has a boyfriend, and she’s perfectly fine dancing with a stranger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiejie pulled Lily out of her seat, she only turned over and headed towards the service bar by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily, you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave me alone, I’m going for a drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily silently headed back to the service bar as the bartender quickly walked up to the only customer he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why aren’t you dancing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to... Can you give me something that can knock me out?\" Lily quietly asked as her face looked exhausted despite sitting the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The best I can offer you is a drink that can make you feel numb. Why are you so grumpy in the first place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your business. Just give me the drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender turned around to grab a bottle from the shelf, pouring it into the metal container before adding a few more ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you jealous that those young men were all looking at your friends over you?\" The bartender questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do I have to pay for you to give me the drink and zip your mouth?\" Lily questioned loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don’t be mad at me... I mean, it’s rough being next to two girls much taller and more beautiful than you, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bartender poured the drink into an empty glass, Lily raised her fist for a second before putting it back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re on the verge of making me smash this table, you know that?\" Lily grumbled, the words seething out of her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you break it, you pay for it. And do you really want to be known as the girl who made all of her peers get kicked out of the bar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily fell into silence as she looked back over to the dance floor for a second. All of the young men and women dancing were fellow university students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was the bar owner’s kid, and one of them happened to be Shihan’s friend, which allowed them all to be invited in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really an asshole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t make yourself such an easy pick... Here’s your drink. It’ll be 40 NRC, and feel free to drop me a tip over at the box.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you. I’m not paying shit anymore. And this drink is your payment for being so rude to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, buddy... I’ll just get it out of your wallet after you finish the drink. I won’t take anything else, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lily took a sip of the drink, the burning sensation immediately traveled from her mouth down to her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck fuck fuck! Why does this thing burn so much!\" Lily questioned as she desperately fanned her mouth with her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said you want something that could numb the pain. Too much for you to handle, young girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily drank the whole glass in one swoop as she put the empty glass back down, her eyes resisting the urge to tear up as she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah fuck. This is so different from earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, duh. You wanted something strong... Let me tell you a little secret: I had been mostly serving drinks with barely any alcohol in them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a fucking scammer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily murmured as her head started spinning, her finger pointing towards the bartender in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scammer? Read the waiver on the wall... Or let me read it out for you. The advertised alcohol content and the pictures on the menu may not necessarily match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You... Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the world around Lily spun faster and faster, she started to feel the urge to throw up as she couldn’t even sit up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re throwing up, I can give you a bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. I’m not throwing up. This shit is weak as hell.\" Lily argued as she pushed herself back up with her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you say... Oh hello. You aren’t supposed to be here. This room is currently under appointment—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m looking for a woman named Lily. Is she here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar-sounding voice immediately caused Lily to turn around, only for her to see a young man wearing a pair of sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know anyone’s name in the bar. But I can go ask the DJ to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. Lily, what are you doing in the bar?\" The young man questioned as he looked down at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? Because I wanted to... There’s nothing you can do to stop me from drinking! Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily suddenly started laughing like a maniac, the man with the sunglasses turned over to the bartender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you serve her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a standard sex on the Beach. I can make you one right now and serve it to you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t trust him, Xiaoyun! He’s a scammer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah woah woah, I’m not a scammer. I’m just serving people who had never drunk before a much lighter alcohol content than usual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is she so passed out like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun questioned as he gently patted his hand over Lily’s back, whose breath had increasingly become heavier and heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She wanted a drink to numb her pain... Who are you anyway? Are you her parent or her brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m her fiancé. Come on, Lily, let’s get up and go back home—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, she hasn’t paid for the drink yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bartender quickly interrupted as he tried to stop Xiaoyun, only to feel a strong pushback on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"20 NRC.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said 40 NRC earlier!\" Lily yelled as she suddenly looked up and pointed her finger at the bartender once again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1551,"2026-06-10T06:59:56.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","698d503cb2112312f8c2c81e3b5acbbfcb7d878a873cb6f33326d5fc0b4063d5","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-642","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-641","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
