Hearing the distinct sound of a zombie crushing a living person's neck.
Lin Hao's face changed dramatically, trying to stand up despite his leg injury.
Then he quickly fell back to the ground.
Ning Yu was faster, already standing at the door of the bedroom.
The door was slightly ajar, revealing a female zombie in home clothes.
Her black hair was disheveled, and she was bent over, gnawing, her face indiscernible.
The poor soul in her hands had already had his neck snapped, yet he still twitched incessantly.
But he was already beyond death.
A strong stench of blood and decay spread throughout the room.
Faced with such a hellish scene, an ordinary person would have already panicked.
Ning Yu, however, remained expressionless, as if there was nothing in the room.
She raised her hand, and the silver crossbow on her sleeve glinted with a cold light, ready to kill the zombie that had inexplicably appeared in Lin Hao's home.
"No!! Don't!!!"
Lin Hao's heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the living room, where he was still lying on the ground.
"Please... please... that's my wife!"
Wife?
Ning Yu was taken aback. Was this the gentle-smiling woman in the photo in the living room, Lin Hao's wife?
So when he said 'she's already dead,' he meant this?
This explained why he had been bringing back large amounts of meat from the grocery store.
Was he perhaps raising his wife, who had mutated into a zombie?
Everything made sense now.
No wonder he looked so frail, choosing to risk going out for meat instead of eating what he had at home.
And why he had gone berserk when people tried to take his meat.
If these people had taken his meat, and with each exploration further exploited,
his 'wife' would have turned into a mummified corpse due to lack of food.
After all, zombies don't eat snacks; they are human slaughter machines forged with blood and flesh.
The fuel for these machines can be human flesh or ordinary meat.
All the previous doubts finally came together like threads.
Hearing Lin Hao's plea, the 'wife' in the bedroom lifted her head.
She revealed blood-red eyes and a hideous, decaying face.
As if sensing a threat, she dropped the corpse in her hands and suddenly sprang up.
With a shrill growl, she charged at Ning Yu.
Ning Yu didn't even dodge, standing still as the ugly, terrifying zombie rushed towards her.
The zombie had just reached the doorway of the bedroom when her feet suddenly stopped!
She then fell heavily to the ground, face-first.
She angrily kicked her legs, trying to break free from something.
It turned out that a metal chain had been locked around her ankle, the other end firmly attached to a heavy bed in the room.
This was probably Lin Hao's doing, to prevent his 'wife' from suddenly attacking and to ensure his own safety.
Although he still referred to the zombie as his 'wife,' it seemed Lin Hao still had some basic rationality.
His reason clearly recognized that the hideous walking corpse before him was a zombie.
But emotionally, he probably still couldn't accept it.
【Ding! Task: Love as a Disease progress updated】
【Task: Love as a Disease (3/?) Key choice appeared】
【Option 1: Immediately kill Lin Hao's 'wife,' ending the task.】
【Reward: Random attribute points * 2】
【Option 2: Do not kill Lin Hao's 'wife,' and listen to his request.】
【Original task reward remains unchanged, and additional hidden reward can be obtained】
A series of prompts appeared before Ning Yu's eyes, the first time a choice interface had appeared.
Ning Yu didn't hesitate.
If she were really just an ordinary little girl, Lin Hao was obviously trying to help her, a good-hearted person.
The female zombie in front of her was already locked up, posing no threat, and so was Lin Hao.
She had no interest in wasting time on meaningless killing.
Most importantly, the hidden reward was clearly the better option.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu slowly lowered her hand.
The titanium crossbow on her arm disappeared with her movement.
Seeing that Ning Yu didn't kill, Lin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing weakly to the ground.
His eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Ning Yu.
If it weren't for Ning Yu today, given the intensity of the conflict earlier, Zhang Ge might have killed him.
His supplies would have been plundered clean.
The 'wife' locked in the room, if left without his care,
would either turn into a mummified corpse due to long-term lack of food, or be discovered and beaten to death with clubs.
Ning Yu walked over and helped Lin Hao sit up from the ground.
His wound was still bleeding, so after asking, Ning Yu fetched the medical kit from his home.
Lin Hao bandaged himself very skillfully, so Ning Yu didn't help him.
His 'wife' struggled in vain, howled a few times, and then went back to gnawing on the half-eaten feast.
The crunching sound made people's teeth ache, rustling again.
But Lin Hao seemed to be used to it, showing a bitter smile.
He looked at Ning Yu, who had found a chair to sit on, and found that she wasn't reacting either.
It was hard to imagine that such a cute little girl could have such terrifying strength.
And be so calm and ruthless.
In fact, she probably didn't need his help at all.
But on the other hand, if he hadn't thought of helping her, hadn't let her come to his home,
would he be dead now?
Ning Yu, rarely, took the initiative to open a topic:
"So what's the story here?"
She looked curious, appearing innocent.
But Lin Hao could no longer associate the word 'innocent' with Ning Yu.
He gently cut the bandage he had just wrapped around, the wound on his injured leg had also been disinfected.
Then he began to narrate slowly:
"Her name is Lin Xiaolu, the girl you saw in the wedding photo in the living room."
"We grew up together."
"We went to the same middle school, high school, and even agreed to go to the same university."
"I confessed during high school, and we naturally got together."
"After graduating from university, we got married."
"We imagined many, many futures."
"Living in a bright and transparent house, coming home together after work, eating together, and then lying down to watch movies."
"It would be best to raise a big fat cat, lying between us while we watch movies."
"It's just such a simple wish."
He seemed to have fallen into memories, pouring out a lot of words at once.
His eyes were blank, recalling the happy scenes of the past.
"But as you can see, this disaster came."
"All our dreams shattered, scattered to pieces."
"A few days ago, when I finally managed to get back home..."

This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
