Chapter 7:

The pleasant dinner hour ends.

In accordance with 'border regulations,' the job of washing dishes and chopsticks was naturally given to Bai Ling: she was seen scrubbing the dishes in the kitchen with gritted teeth, while Duan Heng stood quietly on the second-floor balcony, killing zombies with his homemade crossbow. The two continued with their daily lives in this 'division of labor and tacit understanding!'

Emergency report: 90% of the human population has transformed into zombies, and some of these zombies possess exceptional physical strength and aggressiveness. The military is currently paralyzed.

Everyone, please prepare food, stay home, and keep doors and windows closed! Abandon all pets. Remember, abandon all pets! Any animal infected with the virus will mutate rapidly, and those bitten have a high probability of turning into even more dangerous zombies.

 The government is working tirelessly to find solutions. Please do not lose hope and wait for news from the government. If there are volunteers willing to join the government army, please follow the instructions provided by the provinces and cities on the public website and go to the designated location to register.

"Finally, I wish you all a good life."

These words were repeated for a long time on radio, television, and the internet in China this afternoon. Although no one knew why the army was defeated so easily, everyone knew deep down that no one in the world could save them now, and that they must rely on themselves for everything.

As the sky darkened and night fell, not a single person remained alive on the city streets. Only zombie-like monsters roamed around, occasionally emitting muffled roars.

And it was in this situation that Bai Ling faced a very serious and terrifying problem, which forced her to muster the courage to face it...

"That's all!"

"Sa! Come on, don't worry!" This seat is reserved for you!

On a double bed!

Duan Heng, wearing pajamas and covered with a quilt, lifted one side of the quilt with a smile and patted the bed. At that moment, he was looking at Bai Ling expectantly.

Seeing this, Bai Ling's mouth twisted slightly and his fists clenched unconsciously. The veins on his head popped out, and he gritted his teeth! His secretly angry gaze was both funny and tender, and he scolded Duan Heng harshly:

"Leave it to me! Who would sleep in the same bed with you, you bastard?"

"Puff-"

Seeing Bai Ling's angry expression, Duan Heng couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly pretended to be helpless and explained:

"But Bai Ling, there are no other beds here. I didn't think of that when I was decorating..."

"No, then no! I'll sleep on the sofa! Go to hell!"

Bang-"

As he spoke, Bai Ling had already left the room with the pillow. Duan Heng didn't care too much. He simply smiled confidently, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

 Why is he so good at controlling me? He always needed me to guide him in games. It's not fair!

Back in the second-floor living room, the frail Bai Ling could only lie alone on the sofa, hugging her pillow and feeling sad, a frown on her face:

"No, I have to become stronger than Duan Heng! Let him know who the father is!"

"So, System! Please grant me a useful skill to become the head of the family and crush Duan Heng!"

"Wait. Why does that sound weird?"

Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but touch his chin in confusion;

" The system seemed to be responding to her, and a line of white words slowly appeared in Yu Bailing's mind:

'Combat Power Index: 13, Zombies Killed: 1, Current Level: 1.'

...........

Looking at the glowing '1' in her mind, Bai Ling's pupils gradually lost their luster

and turned a color of despair.

But she wouldn't give up easily! After a moment, she pulled herself together, stood up, and walked toward the balcony with confidence.

"In that case, I'll take the opportunity to kill a few more zombies! I'm going to have a great time tonight!"

"Just wait for me, Duan Heng. Tonight I'll surpass you and show you that even if I become a woman, I'm still not someone you can mess with!"

"Fine..."

Although he had good intentions in his heart, Bai Ling was still in a daze when he reached the balcony.

Outside the window lay the dark night, and the streets were deathly silent. A bright moon flickered with an eerie white light, casting a strange glow on the cold wind. Bai Ling could vaguely hear the inhuman growls of zombies and the screams of a human far away on the street.

But when he looked toward the center of the path, he found a zombie with its mouth wide open, staring at Bai Ling with bloodthirsty eyes!

Bang—-

The door to the room suddenly opened again.

 Duan Heng turned around curiously, only to see Bai Ling standing in the doorway with a resentful look on his face, not saying a word.

"Why are you back?"

Duan Heng blinked and asked, but Bai Ling pretended not to hear him and walked over to the wardrobe. She opened it, clumsily took out fresh bedding, brought it to the bed, and covered it silently.

After wrapping herself completely around herself and lying beside Duan Heng like a dumpling, Bai Ling glanced at Duan Heng lightly and replied with a displeased expression,

"It's cold outside. I want to sleep in bed."

As she spoke, she pushed the zongzi toward Duan Heng. Duan Heng saw that she had understood something clearly and also tried hard to hold back his laughter. After almost hurting himself, he complained,

"It seems to be very cold outside. Even Ultimate Forms have to go back and cover themselves with blankets."

"What do you care? Shut up!"

 Bai Ling, her face already red, gritted her teeth and screamed, then buried her head in the pillow. "Damn it, I won't say I'm shy or afraid of being alone! No, it's not fear at all! It's obviously because it's too cold!"

Thinking this in her heart, Bai Ling, who was curled up in the quilt, gritted her teeth.

But who would have thought that just as she was muttering resentfully, Duan Heng inexplicably looked out the window, then suddenly got out of bed, put on his pants, and walked out of the living room?

"Hey, didn't I tell you to sleep on the sofa! Where are you going?"

Bai Ling misunderstood and thought Duan Heng was taking care of his feelings and taking the initiative to sleep on the sofa, so he quickly called him over.

But after hearing this, Duan Heng turned around and said to Bai Ling with a provocative smile,

"Do you want to sleep in the same bed with me that much? I'm just going to the bathroom."

"Get out!"

Seeing Duan Heng's confident smile, Bai Ling cursed angrily and raised his leg to kick him, but missed because the distance wasn't enough.

Duan Heng smiled and shook his head. Before heading to the door, he turned around and gave Bai Ling an instruction,

"I'll be back in a minute, don't worry."

"Get out!"

Snap-

A pillow was thrown, but Duan Heng quickly closed the door, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

However, Bai Ling didn't see it.

 The moment Duan Heng left the room, his smile suddenly disappeared and his gaze turned terrifyingly cold. Duan Heng looked out the window, as if he had noticed something, and silently lowered the dagger hanging on the wall.

Meanwhile, outside the villa,

a man and a woman were stealthily moving outside the wall, approaching the door.

"Darling, this is the house! I almost got bitten by a zombie today because that bastard wouldn't open the door. He brought a lot of things into the house a few days ago. I saw it clearly. As long as we kill him, we'll have food!"

The woman lowered her voice and cursed the owner in a sharp tone, her eyes filled with resentment.

The man following him seemed very confident. After hearing the woman's explanation, he replied with a mischievous smile:

"Don't worry, I'm here to avenge you! I killed a lot of zombies this afternoon." Killing zombies can raise your level. I think a lot of people don't know that yet.

Duan Heng hasn't left the house all day. He must be a coward. Let him be my first kill! Hehehe...
