With Wang Tao’s current strength, even if the HP of the Mad Demon Zombies were to double, he could deal with them. But the problem was that there were too many of them!

Wang Tao hadn’t even had the time to count; with a rough glance, there were at least thirty or forty!

If there had been a car, it would have been good to drive away. But for safety, Wang Tao had parked his car a bit farther from the entrance of the residential area, and now it was definitely too late to run there.

So, he simply ran towards the villa area. When scavenging Villa No. 3 before, Wang Tao had felt that the villa was quite good—featuring anti-theft doors and windows, it should hold against these zombies.

Although he still had a Stealth Potion that could hide him from zombies, he wasn’t sure whether it would work on Mad Demon Zombies, and besides, there were two of them but only one Stealth Potion. He disdained to betray his teammate, and it wasn’t like he lacked the strength…

At this moment, on the 12th floor of Building No. 1.

A few gaunt people were all peering out of the window, looking down.

“Ah, those two people have left!”

One of the skinny young men spoke with a tone of disappointment.

“It’s all Gao Hua’s fault, what were you waving that mirror for, they couldn’t even see it! If I had shouted earlier, maybe they would have come…”

A somewhat chubby woman complained.

The one named Gao Hua, a man wearing a dirty suit and gold-rimmed glasses, put down the binoculars without attending to the woman but rather muttered with a troubled look:

“It’s over, we are going to get them killed…”

“Eh? They’re back?”

At this point, a young woman spoke up, sounding somewhat surprised.

Everyone hurriedly looked.

“Really, they’re back!”

Seeing this, the big woman was instantly smug.

“I told you to let me shout! See, they have come back, haven’t they?”

“Wait, behind them… Fuck!”

The skinny young man’s eyes bulged.

“Dozens of zombies are chasing them! Those zombies are running too fast! It’s over, those two are done for! You guys got them killed!”

Some people looked troubled.

The stout woman herself was startled to see so many zombies running crazily towards them, her legs growing a bit weak, but her mouth remained as indomitable as ever.

“That, that’s not my fault! The zombies must have been outside already, and they just happened to bump into them when they went out! Could my shouting attract so many zombies? Impossible! It’s just their bad luck, yes! It’s their bad luck. If they’d come to save us earlier, they wouldn’t have run into these zombies!”

At that moment, Gao Hua took a deep breath before speaking:

“These types of zombies should be very sensitive to noise. If you shout again, you will definitely attract more. You can try if you don’t believe me.”

Whether she believed it or not, the woman dared not try again. She glared at Gao Hua with an ugly expression.

“Hmph, it wasn’t me anyway! And if they’re dead, what does it have to do with us? They snatched our airdrop, which could have had a lot of food in it! Those were life-saving items from the state! They took them away and didn’t come to save us! They deserve to die if they’re dead!”

The more the woman talked, the angrier she got, as if Wang Tao had owed her something.

The others didn’t say anything further, seemingly also harboring some grudges concerning the airdrop.

Gao Hua sighed; he didn’t want to deal with these fools.

But no matter what was said now, their rare chance had already been wasted. He wondered how many more days they could last…

“Hmm? Look! Those zombies are climbing the walls! They’re coming towards us!”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in alarm.

The people craned their necks to look out and were startled to see those zombies climbing up the wall.

“Quick, quick, quick! Fasten the anti-theft window! Lock the window!”

The anti-theft window grills of high-rise buildings are installed from the inside and can be quickly dismantled. This isn’t for theft prevention—it’s to prevent things from falling down.

Just now, Gao Hua had removed an anti-theft grill to make using the mirror more convenient. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly reinstalled the grill and locked the window. However, still feeling uneasy, he drew the curtains as well.

But whether it was because these zombies couldn’t climb so high, they saw nothing coming in and saw no shadows outside the window. This allowed everyone a temporary sigh of relief.

Then, instinctively, everyone’s gaze turned towards the stout woman, with more than a little blame in their eyes.

Now it could be confirmed that the zombies had been attracted by the stout woman; otherwise, from such a distance, how could the zombies possibly see them?

“Why are you all looking at me? You think I wanted this?”

The stout woman sternly glared back at everyone, and, cowed by her domineering demeanor, they all averted their eyes.

And the more they did that, the more emboldened she became.

“If it wasn’t for me gathering you all together, making—letting us plan our food rationing, do you think you’d still be alive? Not only are you not thankful, but you also want to blame me? How ungrateful!”

“Xie Xia, you woke your grandson up with your yelling!”

Just then, someone suddenly cut in.

“Oh, my dear grandson!”

Upon hearing this, the woman ceased her harangue and quickly headed back into a room, only to see a chubby middle schooler in uniform rubbing his eyes.

“Grandma, I’m hungry…”

“I’m going to get some treats for my darling grandson!”

Gao Hua watched the woman’s retreating figure, then glanced at the rest, who lacked strong opinions of their own. He closed his eyes..
