Chapter 13

Chen Fei's height is 1.79 meters, while Nangong Jin and Mu Meiqing are 1.70 meters and 1.72 meters tall, respectively. Chen Fei is not particularly muscular, so the special forces uniform fits Nangong Jin very well. Paired with a pair of Martin boots, she exudes a dashing and heroic aura, which makes Chen Fei's eyes light up, and he can't help but marvel at the power of good looks and a great figure!

"Jin, are you ready?" Chen Fei asked softly, looking at Nangong Jin standing by the mirror.

"Xiao Fei, you really have a heart. This outfit is great, I like it very much!"

"As long as you like it, Jin, you look good in anything," Chen Fei replied with a stiff smile.

"Hmph, your mouth is getting sweeter by the day. Let's go, I'll protect you, just stay behind me!"

Chen Fei pursed his lips. He was there to complete a task. If Nangong Jin killed all the zombies, how would he activate the End Times Overlord System!

"Jin, you just need to assist me. Let me practice with the crossbow more. Otherwise, how will we save Qing? There will definitely be a lot of zombies at the hospital."

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Nangong Jin could only reluctantly agree.

Because the fire door had been closed, and the zombies wouldn't use the elevator, plus the elevator now required a card to access specific floors, only the residents of the 11th floor, the cleaning lady, and the property management could use it. So, the 11th floor was relatively safe!

When the door was pushed open, a pungent odor hit them. After three days, the female zombie's body had started to rot, and the stench was suffocating, making their stomachs churn.

Chen Fei and Nangong Jin didn't open the fire door in the stairwell but walked towards the female zombie's home. Chen Fei took out a paperclip he had prepared in advance and used the lock-picking skills he learned from a locksmith. It took him five minutes to successfully open the lock.

Chen Fei gave Nangong Jin, who was wrinkling her nose, a nod and then pushed the door open forcefully. After a few hoarse growls, a male zombie wearing only a pair of shorts rushed out from the bedroom. There were no obvious external injuries on his body, just some dried blood around his mouth and chest, which must have come from the female zombie outside.

Compared to the last time, Chen Fei was much calmer. He held the crossbow with both hands, aimed skillfully, and as a red dot appeared on the male zombie's forehead, Chen Fei pulled the trigger. A steel arrow shot straight into the male zombie's forehead, piercing through his skull. The male zombie, who had been snarling and clawing a moment ago, fell backward and lay still after a few convulsions.

Nangong Jin put down her katana, approving of Chen Fei's performance, and Chen Fei proudly raised his head.

"Jin, the crossbow is much easier to use than the long sword. Do you really not want to use one? I have another one."

Nangong Jin glared at Chen Fei with her alluring eyes, signaling him to dispose of the zombie's body, especially the female zombie's rotting smell, which was unbearable.

So, Chen Fei took on the role of a body collector, dragging both zombies into the bathroom. After that, he searched every corner of the room to see if there were any useful supplies.

In the dining room, Chen Fei saw a photo of a man wearing a green baseball cap, with a smile as bright as a sunflower...

Sure enough... being cuckolded has its reasons...

In the kitchen, Chen Fei found two small bags of rice and half a bag of flour. In the large double-door refrigerator, he found many fruits: watermelons, green apples, green grapes, cantaloupes, and green mangoes... all green...

Chen Fei couldn't help but glance at the photo on the dining room wall, silently mourning for the man for three seconds...

After leaving 1101, Chen Fei and Nangong Jin briefly discussed and decided to check the 12th floor. On the day the zombie virus fully erupted, Chen Fei had heard screams from upstairs, so there were definitely zombies there.

Chen Fei carefully opened the fire door, trying to make as little noise as possible. After three days of observation, Chen Fei had confirmed that zombies, like in movies, had very strong hearing and a keen sense of smell, but their vision was slightly weaker, so they didn't like sunlight.

During the midday sun, it was rare to see zombies wandering the streets unless there were survivors or some noise to attract them. At night, the zombies were particularly active, roaming the streets and emitting low growls.

Chen Fei and Nangong Jin moved up the stairs one after the other, one guarding the upper stairs and the other the lower stairs. The once clean stairwell was now covered with bloodstains.

As Chen Fei opened the fire door, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle, and a face with one eye missing appeared in his line of sight!

Damn!

Chen Fei instinctively swore, and Nangong Jin quickly cut off the zombie's hand with her katana.

After regaining his composure, Chen Fei aimed the crossbow at the zombie's forehead and fired another arrow. The sound of Chen Fei's curse or the intensity of the fight must have attracted more zombies, as low growls and chaotic footsteps echoed from the upper stairs, indicating at least three or four zombies.

"Shit!"

Chen Fei cursed and quickly passed through the fire door with Nangong Jin, closing it behind them.

Only then did Chen Fei see the zombie on the ground, a woman with a blood-soaked nightgown and a missing right leg, looking quite pitiful.

The fire door in the stairwell faced the corridor leading to the elevator, and at the end of the corridor were the two apartments on this floor. The once clean corridor was now covered with dried, dark red bloodstains, left by the female zombie's crawling.

The door to 1201 was tightly closed, while the door to 1202 was wide open. From the bloodstains on the floor, it was clear that the female zombie was from 1202, but the tragedy that unfolded here was unknown.

Chen Fei was grateful that Nangong Jin had also survived the virus's incubation period. Otherwise, with her combat skills, he might not have been a match for her, and he would have been eaten to pieces.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

Just as Chen Fei and Nangong Jin reached the end of the corridor, the fire door on the other side of the corridor was hit with low growls. There were at least three or four zombies.

Chen Fei's face turned grim. This was a bad start! Being blocked by four or five zombies at the door, and the noise would attract more zombies.

Fortunately, the fire door was thick enough, and the zombies didn't know how to open it, so Chen Fei and Nangong Jin were relatively safe for the moment.

Chen Fei and Nangong Jin first entered 1202, where the bloodstains and the mess inside clearly showed the horror of the day the zombie virus fully erupted.

All the doors in the apartment were open except for the master bedroom, which was tightly closed. After Chen Fei and Nangong Jin entered, the master bedroom door started to be hit, indicating that there was another zombie inside. If it were a survivor, they would have called for help.

The noise was minimal, leading Chen Fei to believe that the zombie in the master bedroom might be a child.

Hmm?

Chen Fei tried to push the bedroom door, but it only opened a small gap, and he felt something blocking it from the other side. He pushed harder, widening the gap.

Suddenly...

Without warning, a fat face appeared from the gap, with bloodshot, gray eyes. Chen Fei was startled and quickly backed away to keep a distance from the zombie.

The zombie, sensing the living presence of Chen Fei and Nangong Jin, opened its mouth and let out a low growl. Although its head was out of the gap, its body was still stuck, and as it struggled, its head was firmly trapped.

As Chen Fei backed away, he raised his automatic crossbow. Seeing the zombie's predicament, he wasn't as panicked and even put down the infrared sight. Nangong Jin, standing nearby, watched with interest.

Whoosh...

Chen Fei pulled the trigger, and a steel arrow shot through the zombie's right eye, piercing its skull.

"Great job, Xiao Fei! You've improved! You can hit the eye now!" Nangong Jin praised, placing her hand on Chen Fei's shoulder.

Chen Fei blushed and chuckled awkwardly.

"Hehe... Not bad... Not bad..."

Chen Fei wouldn't tell Nangong Jin that he had aimed for the zombie's forehead but hit the eye instead. Such a close miss at such a short distance would have been a laughing matter, so he decided to let it be a beautiful mistake...

Chen Fei thought the zombie in the master bedroom was a child, but it turned out to be a fat man with a waist as wide as the door. Fortunately, the fat zombie was stuck, and if it had broken free, even Chen Fei and Nangong Jin together wouldn't have been able to stop it.

After checking the food storage in 1202's kitchen, Chen Fei understood why the fat man was so big. The largest double-door refrigerator was filled with various meats, and there were two large boxes of vacuum-packed cured meats and sausages, and two large pieces of cured ham on the balcony. Chen Fei had also prepared a fridge full of frozen meat, but compared to this, it was nothing.

Chen Fei hadn't stored much fresh or frozen meat because he knew that once the power was out, the meat would spoil quickly. Now, he had gained two pieces of ham and some cured meats, which added to his food reserves.

Just as Chen Fei was basking in his joy, a trembling voice came from outside the door.

"Excuse me... Are you here to save us?"
