Chapter 20

A pleasant female voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and at the same moment, Chen Fei's vision turned pitch black.

...

Nangong Jin, standing beside Chen Fei, was stunned when she saw him cleanly dispatch the seventh zombie that had burst through the window. Her eyes flashed with an eerie blue light.

Just then, the eighth zombie managed to grab the railing and, after a frantic struggle, was about to climb over it. But Chen Fei still stood there, dazed, seemingly unaware of the danger.

Nangong Jin stepped forward, pushed Chen Fei aside, and at the critical moment, she used her long sword to decapitate the zombie, preventing a tragedy. After dealing with two more zombies, all the zombies in the kitchen were finally eliminated. The zombie bride, dressed in a wedding gown, sniffed the air for the scent of humans and limped from the living room toward the kitchen. Due to her impaired movement, even though she struggled to climb the kitchen window, she failed to grab the nearby railing. Nangong Jin watched as the zombie bride fell from the 13th floor and hit the ground with a heavy thud.

Nangong Jin let out a light sigh. If it weren't for Chen Fei, she might have ended up like that zombie bride, crazily chasing after the living, only to be killed by survivors.

At this moment, Nangong Jin's gaze fell on Chen Fei, who was lying on the ground. She couldn't help but laugh. In her haste, she hadn't controlled her strength, and Chen Fei, who had a lucky escape, had fallen to the side. If he had fallen backward, he might have joined the zombie bride downstairs.

What made Nangong Jin laugh was Chen Fei's posture. Even lying on the ground, he maintained the stance he had while standing, one hand holding a crossbow and the other gripping a dagger, as if his body had been frozen.

At first, Nangong Jin thought Chen Fei was joking with her, but after two minutes, he still hadn't moved. Realizing the situation was serious, she quickly knelt down to check his breathing, and only after confirming he was still breathing did she relax.

As she got closer, Nangong Jin could see more clearly the unusual state of Chen Fei's eyes.

Chen Fei's eyes glowed blue, with three gear-like patterns of different sizes slowly rotating in his right eye, while his left eye rapidly flashed lines of small text.

Due to the small size of the text, Nangong Jin couldn't be sure if they were words, and she instinctively moved closer to get a better look...

The host is waking up...

...

As Chen Fei regained consciousness, his vision cleared, and the first thing he saw were a pair of bright, beautiful eyes, so close that he could feel the warmth of her breath. Their noses were only two fingers apart.

This was the first time Chen Fei had admired Nangong Jin's delicate features so closely. If he said he wasn't moved, he would have to despise his own hypocrisy.

Seeing the blue light in Chen Fei's eyes fade, Nangong Jin frowned again. Feeling Chen Fei's intense gaze and his increasingly heavy breathing, she let out a teasing hum.

As the beautiful face gradually moved away, Chen Fei's eyes darted around, and he put on a pained expression.

"Phew... Phew... Phew... Sister Jin! I... I... I can't breathe, help... help me, I'm suffocating... Phew... Phew..."

"Oh? How do you want me to help you? Would mouth-to-mouth resuscitation work?"

"Yes... Yes! Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!"

"Ah... Sister Jin! I'm fine, I'm fine! I can breathe now! Lighter! Lighter! If you squeeze any harder, my ears will fall off!"

Chen Fei cried out in pain as he stood up, following Nangong Jin's movements.

Seeing Chen Fei's embarrassed look, Nangong Jin gave him a seductive glance and said in a lazy voice,

"Looks like this is more effective than mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!"

Chen Fei regretted not taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak an attack on Nangong Jin when she wasn't paying attention. Since they were so close, she wouldn't have been able to avoid it. Now it was too late, as such a good opportunity only comes once.

Chen Fei rubbed his nearly numb ear, deliberately keeping his distance from Nangong Jin, the vixen.

There are vixens in this world who seduce you every day but don't let you touch them. Chen Fei was so angry he felt like exploding on the spot.

"Xiao Feifei, what happened to you? You were lying on the ground, motionless."

Nangong Jin asked, curious.

Chen Fei replied irritably,

"I had low blood sugar, so I got dizzy and blurred vision, okay!"

Seeing Chen Fei unwilling to talk, Nangong Jin didn't press the issue and changed the subject,

"What's our next move?"

Chen Fei checked from several angles, confirming that most of the zombies in the room had fallen, and then walked back to the fire door of Unit 2.

"Since the zombies in 1302 are mostly dead, let's clear this floor. We might need it in the future," Chen Fei said without turning back.

Seeing Chen Fei's sulky face, Nangong Jin's smile grew wider. Without Chen Fei's prompt, she walked to the fire door and prepared to open it.

Usually, Chen Fei would count down from three before they acted, but now, with Chen Fei sulking, Nangong Jin smiled and held up three fingers to signal him.

Chen Fei wasn't angry about Nangong Jin pinching his ear or not giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was angry at himself for not seizing the opportunity. However, when it came to zombies, he wouldn't hesitate.

As Nangong Jin retracted her three fingers, she yanked open the fire door, using it as a shield to block the zombies. Three zombies emerged from the doorway.

Chen Fei was already prepared, and with two quick shots, he easily killed the first two zombies. But as he was about to take the third shot, his expression changed dramatically.

Damn, this zombie was wearing a helmet!

From the zombie's faded clothing, Chen Fei saw the words "Meituan," indicating it was a food delivery rider. The helmet looked very sturdy.

The only weak point of a zombie is the head, and now that it was protected, Chen Fei was at a loss. Piercing through the helmet and then the skull with a steel arrow was almost impossible.

As Chen Fei hesitated and stepped back, the zombie charged at him. In the narrow corridor, Chen Fei had nowhere to go and was knocked down. His crossbow fell from his hand. If not for the dense railing, Chen Fei would have fallen to the first floor.

As the zombie pounced on him, Chen Fei noticed the visor on the helmet. Just as the zombie was about to bite him, Chen Fei slid the visor down, blocking the zombie's mouth.

Although the visor prevented the zombie from biting him, Chen Fei didn't let his guard down. He knew that even a scratch from a zombie could lead to infection. Nangong Jin quickly ran over, and as the zombie and Chen Fei grappled on the ground, she saw an opportunity and decapitated the zombie.

Chen Fei pushed the zombie's body away and leaned against the railing, gasping for breath. He felt like he had narrowly escaped death.

"Are you okay?" Nangong Jin asked, concerned.

She knew the power of the zombie virus; being bitten or scratched was a death sentence.

Chen Fei carefully checked his body and, finding no wounds, breathed a sigh of relief. Getting infected by a zombie right after activating the system would be a sign of extreme bad luck.

Nangong Jin helped Chen Fei up and carefully checked him for any scratches. Chen Fei wasn't sure if her concern was for him or if she was afraid he would turn into a zombie and attack her.

Regardless, Nangong Jin's worried and caring gaze made Chen Fei feel a warm current in his heart.

"I'm fine, Sister Jin. Let's go and finish clearing the 13th floor of Unit 2. It's getting late," Chen Fei said, picking up his crossbow and walking toward the fire door of Unit 2.

The door of 1301 was closed, so after dealing with the three zombies in the master bedroom and the two in the bathroom of 1302, Chen Fei and Nangong Jin successfully cleared the 13th floor.

As they approached the door of 1301, it suddenly opened. Chen Fei raised his crossbow, and Nangong Jin stepped back, ready to shoot.

When the door was fully open, a tall woman in a blue nightgown appeared, her long, slender legs catching Chen Fei's attention. Her figure could rival Nangong Jin and Mu Meiqing, but her facial features were more ordinary, relying on heavy makeup to enhance her appearance, fitting the standard of an internet celebrity. If Nangong Jin and Mu Meiqing were 100 points, this woman could barely score 80.

"Don't, don't kill me! I'm human!"

The woman looked at Chen Fei, who was holding the crossbow, with a timid voice that would typically evoke a strong protective instinct in most men.

"Is there anyone else in the room?" Chen Fei asked, putting away his crossbow and feigning a serious tone.

"No, just me. I live alone in this house," the woman replied softly.

"Have you been scratched or bitten by any zombies?"

"Zombies? Yes, they do look like zombies. I'm Wang Yuanyuan, a streamer. I've been hiding at home for the past few days and haven't been bitten or scratched. If you don't believe me, you can check!" Wang Yuanyuan said, pretending to be shy and avoiding Chen Fei's gaze.
