Chapter 59: Coveting

Christopher naturally wasn't afraid of zombies; he'd killed living people before, let alone those half-dead creatures.

Still, just to be on the safe side, he made some preparations.

For instance, he wrapped cardboard around his arm with tape to make a shield.

Along the way, he didn't stop those who joined him.

He thought they might come in handy as a shield at a critical moment.

He was confident in his own strength. He just didn't expect a lapse at the crucial moment.

He didn't know where the two zombies came from, sneaking up from behind. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, promptly hiding in the stairwell.

Christopher rested for about half an hour, regaining some of his strength. Listening to the quiet outside, he gently opened the door to the stairwell.

"Ugh... ugh... groan... groan..."

Unexpectedly, two zombies were standing guard at the door. Seeing the door open, they immediately lunged towards him.

"It's you two..."

Christopher was taken aback. These two zombies were the man and woman who had been following him.

By now, they had been gnawed beyond recognition, their flesh a mess.

Never did he expect them to turn into zombies and continue to guard this place. What a grudge they must have held!

Using the partially open door to his advantage, Christopher easily dealt with them, quickly dispatching them.

"I've even helped you two find peace. But what about the other man?"

Descending the stairs, Christopher encountered two more zombies.

These were the two who had bitten the man and woman before.

He was about to finish them off when a loud banging sound came from the opposite side.

The two zombies immediately ran out of the stairwell, dashing towards the source of the noise.

"What's going on?"

Christopher reached the entrance of the unit and found that the door of the unit in the opposite building was locked, with two zombies already gathered outside.

Those zombies seemed somewhat familiar, perhaps the same two who had run down from upstairs earlier.

"I never saw the body of the other person. Could he have run into the building opposite? Was that banging just now someone trying to break in?"

Christopher pondered to himself.

He glanced outside and noticed several zombies had been alerted by the noise, about six or seven of them wandering around outside.

"Forget it, it's not suitable to go out now! Confined spaces are better; open areas are vulnerable to attacks from all sides. I'd better find something to eat and replenish my energy first!"

And a woman with such a figure, he had never experienced anything like it.

None of the women he had been with had a body like hers, and those who were as attractive as her often lacked her elegance.

Christopher felt tempted, but then thought it wasn't worth the risk.

Women were everywhere!

Covering his face, it was all the same!

"Tsk! That pervert must have been banging on her door earlier, huh? No wonder there was such a commotion!"

Christopher watched the woman standing in the living room, halfway between the living room and the dining room, looking alert.

She seemed to be holding a knife? Was it a knife? Or a sword? It was hard to tell from the sheath.

And on the woman's left side, in the entrance area, two couches were pushed together, blocking the door securely.

"He couldn't even kick open the door, what a waste!"

Christopher sneered. "Wait a minute... is that..."

Soon, his expression turned from surprise to delight. On the two couches, he found a large amount of food and water.

Bags of rice and noodles were stacked layer by layer on the couches, and there were boxes of drinks and water.

"With so many supplies, just this one woman could eat for at least half a year. And this is just what I can see, there must be even more that I can't see... Damn, I said that pervert wouldn't risk so much for a woman!"

Greed flashed across Christopher's face.

"But, how do I get in? I don't have a key like that pervert..."

Christopher carefully examined the building across from him.

The windows on the ground floor were welded with anti-theft bars. Normally, he could easily pry them open with tools.

But now, with zombies outside threatening and no tools in hand...

"I can't make too much noise; can I only climb to the third floor? There are no anti-theft windows there..."

Christopher pondered silently.

Meanwhile, Bella across the way was unaware that someone was observing her.

She was even more on guard now.

There was a scumbag outside who could break in at any moment.

Earlier, when she heard screams from the opposite stairwell, she just subconsciously glanced over.

But she didn't expect to see someone rush from the opposite building to hers and smoothly enter. At that moment, she became alert.

Elijah had told her that if someone broke into the building, no matter who it was, she should block the door first.

So she immediately pushed the couches to the door and wedged them tightly.
