Chapter 16

When the woman saw the blood spurting out wildly from the man’s wound, she could not help but scream.

Similarly, Rhodes did not hold back nor hesitate.

Swish!

With a slash, the woman’s head was separated from her body.

The man and the woman were clearly a couple and a team.

Rhodes would worry if he let these people live. He would feel more at ease if he killed them. There was no law and order in society during the apocalypse. In the current world, strength was all that mattered.

After killing the couple, he threw their bodies out of the door. Then, he checked every room to make sure it was safe and there was nobody around. The building was not too big, but it had a little more room than usual. He confirmed the place was fine but realized there was a lack of supplies. He would need to scavenge the convenience stores or malls in the vicinity. In the end, he decided to scavenge for supplies tomorrow. What was important now was to get his girlfriend settled in.

“You can just choose one of the rooms to live in. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important,” Rhodes bluntly said to Beth. He knew Beth only wanted him to protect her. However, he already had a zombie girlfriend, and he really could not let her go. However, if Beth did not cause trouble and quietly stayed in this place, he would not mind tolerating her presence. After all, it might not be too bad to have someone else around since he could not communicate with Julie at all.

After he finished talking to Beth, he did not wait for her reply and left to carry Julie into one of the rooms.

Beth only watched as he went upstairs. However, a hint of a smile could be seen in her eyes at this moment. Since he had agreed to her staying, she did not think he would be able to resist her for long. After a moment, she walked into one of the cleaner rooms. She was covered in blood and needed to clean herself.

Meanwhile, Rhodes entered a room upstairs and put Julie down. However, when he finally took in his surroundings, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Posters were tacked on the walls of the bedroom. It was not really a big problem, however, all of the posters depicted men and women in revealing sexy outfits engaging in lewd acts.

There was even a poster behind the door depicting a woman with the man’s appendage in her mouth.

Another one showed a man entering a woman from behind.

“…”

“This place was a f*cking hourly hotel!” Realization finally dawned on Rhodes. No wonder he felt the atmosphere of the place was a little strange. This was the kind of place he and Julie had considered before, but they, naturally, had never been to one.

At this time, the level-one energy crystal that Rhodes fed Julie seemed to have been completely digested by her. Rhodes saw she starting to become restless again. She was beginning to struggle, twisting and writhing her body. Her pair of slender and long legs kept pushing and kicking against the bedsheet.

However, in this ambiguous atmosphere, surrounded by the obscene but seductive posters, her writhing and twisting were cast in a different light.

Her hair was fanned out on the bed, and her complexion, although a little pale, was delicate. Her beautiful face and figure seemed to be inviting Rhodes.

Compared to before, Rhodes felt Julie was incredibly alluring at this moment, causing his desire to rise.

He had battles after battles consecutively until now; his adrenaline was still coursing through his body.

The visual impact of his girlfriend writhing on the bed and posters made it more difficult for him to control himself. He took a deep breath and steeled himself, ‘Stop this! How am I going to face Julie when she regains her senses? I can’t cross this line!’

While Rhodes was fighting a war within himself, Julie struggled and inched closer to Rhodes’ lower body as though she smelled something that had attracted her attention. Naturally, as a zombie, her instinct was to bite!

Rhodes, who recovered in time, was shocked. “What are you doing? Don’t learn these things!”

Rhodes felt another headache coming. For some reason, Julie seemed to be very interested in his lower body.

‘Wait… My lower body?’ Rhodes checked the pockets of his sweatpants. As it turned out, he had left one of the level-one energy crystals he had obtained from the zombies he killed at the apartment in his pocket. No wonder Julie kept trying to get closer to his lower body.

Rhodes sighed in relief. However, he had to admit there was also a small hint of disappointment.

Subsequently, he looked at the constantly struggling Julie and spoke to her patiently as though he was teaching a puppy. “Do you want to eat? However, you have to be patient, understand?”

Rhodes looked at Julie whose eyes were turning from light red to a darker red. He smiled slightly as he said, “Don’t worry, Julie. I’ll make sure you recover! Even if your mentality remains that of a child, at the very least, I’ll return your consciousness to you.”

Now that he had time to rest, he discovered both he and Julie were filthy. After going through so many things, they definitely needed to clean up.

In the apocalypse, mundane things like bathing were a luxury.

Fortunately, it had not been that long since he had his last proper bath, considering everything.

The showers here were not working, and there was no bathtub. Luckily, they still had taps that were working.

Rhodes’s current physique was far superior to an ordinary person. He was not afraid of infection. Julie was a zombie so he did not think she had to fear infection of any kind. However, if she discovered herself dirty when she regained her senses, she would definitely feel unhappy.

Therefore, Rhodes collected all the buckets he could find so he could collect tap water in them.

After he was done, he looked at the buckets of water in the bathroom in satisfaction. Apart from that, he felt a sense of security as well. He knew as time passed, water and food would become scarce.

Before the apocalypse, one would, perhaps, buy a handbag or cosmetics to please a woman. However, water and food would probably be more appealing to women, and men, now.

Water and food were now the currency of the apocalyptic world. As time went on, their value would only soar higher and higher.

After that, Rhodes returned to the room to bring Julie to the bathroom. When he looked at her, he was awed by her beauty again. He thought to himself, ‘Some people are just born beautiful. Even after a few days of being a zombie, it did not diminish her beauty at all…’

Rhodes found her body especially comfortable to hold due to her body’s cool temperature.

“Julie, wait for a moment. I’ll clean you up.” It was not that Rhodes did not consider asking Beth to help him clean Julie. However, with both of them in the same room, it was likely that he was going to end up with two zombies on his hands. There was no other way; he could only do this himself.

Rhodes stuffed a level-one energy crystal into Julie’s mouth, at this moment.

With the level-one energy crystal in her mouth, she finally calmed down.

“You’re finally quiet… We can start now…”

Rhodes unbound her hands first as he stared at her. He found that she was relatively calm. She was happily enjoying the energy crystal in her mouth as though it was a piece of candy.

All this time when Rhodes spoke to her, the only response he got was a series of growls. It was not dissimilar to the growling of small animals.

“I’m going to take off your clothes now. You’re too dirty, understand?” Rhodes did not even know if he was speaking to her or saying that for his own benefit.

Julie’s complexion had always been fair. Now that she had turned into a zombie, her skin was even fairer.

It did not take long before Rhodes removed all her clothes, revealing her fair and curvy figure and her full chest and plump butt.

When Julie closed her eyes, enjoying the energy crystal in her mouth, Rhodes gulped. He quickly dismissed the evil thoughts that appeared in his mind.

After that, Rhodes lifted Julie to start cleaning her body.

However, at this time, Julie, who had been calm and quiet since she had been fed the energy crystal, suddenly opened her eyes. It was as though she had smelled something delicious. Her red eyes flashed with excitement as she looked at Rhodes’ lips and directly leaned in to bite them.
