Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows.
He could tell that Chu Fei was forcing herself, learning to face the desperate situation of the apocalypse.
However, Xiao Ye admired Chu Fei's decisive mindset.
"Put this on before you go."
Xiao Ye threw Chu Fei a jacket, completely covering her.
The slip dress Chu Fei was wearing was not suitable for going out.
It could easily lead to exposure.
Chu Fei caught a scent from the man's jacket, a unique male fragrance.
Her face inexplicably flushed.
Had Xiao Ye not washed it after wearing it?
However, this was not the time to worry about whether the jacket was clean.
Chu Fei changed into the jacket and opened the door.
She heard the roars of zombies.
She couldn't tell where the zombies were.
Suddenly.
"Help me... hurry and save me... Ah!"
In a neighboring apartment not far away, an old neighbor's body was sticking out of the window.
A terrifying zombie was beside him, its mouth clamped onto the old neighbor's neck.
The old neighbor let out a terrified scream, attracting more zombies.
Chu Fei's heart leaped with fear, but she was powerless at the moment.
She couldn't rush to the old neighbor's house to eliminate the zombies.
"The surrounding residents have probably all turned into zombies, and the unmutated neighbors are hiding at home, afraid to make a sound."
Xiao Ye stood behind Chu Fei, analyzing calmly, "I can't guarantee that there aren't zombies in your home too. These few minutes you're going out could become the zombie horde's dinner."
Chu Fei's body grew stiffer. She knew Xiao Ye was warning her of the danger.
However.
"Just wait for me, big brother."
As Chu Fei's trembling foot turned the doorknob, she rushed out.
Seeing the girl's desperate figure, Xiao Ye took out the dagger from his pocket.
He wiped it clean.
Chu Fei rushed into her home unimpeded and saw the living room in disarray.
She didn't know if her two mutated pets had jumped out the window.
"Xiao Mi, Xiao Guai, if you're at home, please don't attack me. Your owner loved you both very much before..."
Chu Fei cautiously approached the refrigerator.
She warily looked at the messy room. As she reached the refrigerator, she pulled it open and saw food filling the entire appliance.
She was fortunate to have been a foodie before the apocalypse.
Chu Fei happily took out the bread, when suddenly, she heard a cat's meow.
"Meow!"
The two cats hiding under the table were drooling, their scarlet eyes fixed on Chu Fei.
Chu Fei turned to see the cats, their fur gone. Their once round heads and bodies.
They now looked like monkeys, appearing eerie and distorted.
"I'm your owner, you can't hurt me!"
As soon as Chu Fei finished speaking, the two cats pounced on her!
She dodged to the side in panic. The cats' strength was enough to dent the refrigerator.
"Meow, meow..."
The two pet cats were drooling, as if ready to feast on Chu Fei.
Chu Fei felt a trace of fear. She moved towards the dining table.
"Don't come any closer."
Chu Fei found a fork and pointed it at the two zombie cats.
The zombie cats were not afraid at all, and sprang towards Chu Fei like lightning.
If Chu Fei were bitten by an animal, she would also turn into a zombie.
Just as the two zombie cats were about to pounce on Chu Fei, their bodies froze!
Because Xiao Ye had entered Chu Fei's home and stabbed the mutated pets with his knife!
Chu Fei saw the zombie cats twisted and eerie, blood seeping from their bodies.
"Meow—"
The zombie cats swayed and fell to the ground, dead.
Chu Fei watched Xiao Ye's swift and decisive actions, her entire body frozen.
Xiao Ye, having gained experience dealing with zombie cats, didn't get a drop of blood on himself.
He said calmly, "You weren't bitten, were you?"
Chu Fei, not expecting Xiao Ye to rescue her, dazedly walked to his side.
"Xiao Ye, you're truly my good neighbor!"
She felt a wave of relief. If the cats had bitten her just now.
Chu Fei would have turned into an ugly zombie.
"You saved me once, and I will protect you from now on, and survive well in the apocalypse."
Xiao Ye heard Chu Fei's confident words.
He chuckled, "You protect me?"
Seeing the doubt in Xiao Ye's eyes, Chu Fei raised her chin, "Who do you look down on? I am a growth-type..."
Xiao Ye's dagger pierced the zombie cat's head.
Chu Fei's face turned pale from the splattering blood. "My Xiao Mi and Xiao Guai are completely dead. You don't need to dig out their heads, do you?"
Seeing Xiao Ye's actions, Chu Fei knitted her beautiful brows.
Xiao Ye ignored Chu Fei and searched for a small crystal core from the zombie cat's head.
"Wow, it's just like in zombie movies, zombies have energy crystal cores in their heads."
Chu Fei became somewhat excited, wondering if this crystal core could make them stronger.
"Ability users?"
Chu Fei was also well-informed. Ability users would emerge during zombie sieges.
However, she and Xiao Ye were just two ordinary people in the apocalypse.
Xiao Ye handed the dagger to Chu Fei.
Chu Fei asked confusedly, "What are you doing?"
"You dig out the other one's crystal core."
Xiao Ye said calmly.
Before the apocalypse, Chu Fei was afraid of even cockroaches.
Now, she was being asked to dig out the heads of her former pets, and Chu Fei hesitated.
However, after only a few seconds of hesitation, Chu Fei aimed at the zombie cat's head.
"Weakness will not lead to survival. I don't want to be a burden. I want to be a capable powerhouse."
Chu Fei calmly dug out the crystal core and handed it to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye saw Chu Fei's pale face quickly return to normal.
She was able to hold the bread and eat it bite by bite.
Xiao Ye saw the abundance of food in Chu Fei's refrigerator.
"This food will last us a few days..."
They had no intention of leaving the house, and began living together.
The doorbell rang countless times, and normal humans pleaded for food.
However, soon, heart-wrenching screams echoed.
Chu Fei went to her own front door, wanting to take off Xiao Ye's jacket and change.
But the two zombie cats before had already torn all her clothes.
She could only wear Xiao Ye's jacket, feeling quite awkward parading in front of him.
The television and internet were unable to connect to the outside world. They stayed at home for a full seven days.
"This is the last egg."
Chu Fei's delicate and beautiful face was filled with longing, but she still gave the egg to Xiao Ye.
"You eat it."
Xiao Ye held the egg in his hand, looking at Chu Fei's eager gaze.
He crushed the egg.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing?"
Chu Fei felt a pang of heartache for the crushed egg, which might have been their only food for the day.
Xiao Ye's expression was somber. He held a dagger.
"Our food supply is gone. We can't stay here any longer..."
