Ning Yu frowned slightly and turned her head to look.
Shen Yiyue's expression, which had just relaxed, tensed up again as she saw the situation behind Ning Yu.
Xu Qiang's corpse had turned ashen gray, with deep blue veins visible across his body.
His blood-stained face was rapidly decaying, becoming grotesquely ugly.
He struggled on the ground, then slowly stood up.
His eyeballs were now mostly white, no longer resembling those of a human.
Low, raspy growls emerged from his mouth, which opened to release a foul stench.
He had turned into a zombie so quickly!
Shen Yiyue had seen many zombies from afar on the streets, but she had never witnessed a freshly turned zombie up close.
She nearly screamed but managed to cover her mouth, her remaining sanity preventing her from making noise.
If she screamed loudly, it would surely agitate the zombies outside and surround the supermarket.
She also suppressed the urge to vomit.
[Ding! New player task (3/3) triggered: Kill a zombie!]
[Task reward: Low-grade T-virus immunity capsule (3 hours) exchange permission, 150 points]
A cold prompt sounded in her mind. It seemed this was the final part of the chain of tasks.
Ning Yu herself was also seeing a real zombie for the first time outside of zombie movies.
But her expression remained unchanged.
To her, both humans and zombies were just walking flesh.
As long as it was flesh, it should have weaknesses!
The zombie finally steadied itself and, seeing two fresh bodies before it, let out a low roar and charged forward.
Ning Yu prepared to lure the incoming zombie away from Shen Yiyue's direction.
So she moved to the side.
But the zombie didn't change direction, still charging towards the corner where Shen Yiyue sat.
It seems to have very low intelligence, Ning Yu assessed inwardly.
So she walked directly towards the zombie, then nimbly sidestepped to trip it.
The zombie lost its footing and fell to the ground, immediately trying to get up again.
Ning Yu didn't take the opportunity to finish it off while it was trying to stand.
Instead, she quietly waited for the zombie to fully stand up again.
This time, the zombie finally noticed Ning Yu, roaring at her and charging towards her.
"What is she doing?" Shen Yiyue wondered, confused.
She had created an opportunity but didn't kill the zombie.
Was she trying to play a game of hide-and-seek with the zombie?
In fact, Ning Yu was assessing the zombie's overall condition.
She wanted to use this fresh zombie to study their basic characteristics, since these creatures now filled the streets.
Ning Yu moved like an agile cat, completely at ease in the face of the zombie's lunges and grabs.
The zombie couldn't even touch Ning Yu's shadow.
As she dodged effortlessly, she glanced at Wang Fuxiang's corpse on the ground.
His body showed no changes yet - his skin hadn't turned gray, and his veins hadn't turned deep blue.
It seemed that after death, there was a chance of turning into a zombie, or the transformation time varied for different people.
Soon, Ning Yu began her counterattack.
Avoiding another lunge from the zombie, her blood-stained Western-style dress swirled beautifully with her movements.
She quickly lowered her body, using her dagger to cut the tendons and ligaments in the zombie's legs.
To her surprise, this had no effect on the zombie's movements at all.
If it were a normal human, they would be unable to walk by now.
But the zombie's movements weren't slowed at all, and it lunged at her again.
Using the same method, Ning Yu cut the tendons in the zombie's upper limbs, but its flailing arms were completely unaffected.
What a terrifying monster!
She didn't know how this virus had altered the flesh, but these typical human weaknesses no longer applied.
Ning Yu calmly assessed the situation.
Her subsequent attacks on various vital organs and the spine had no effect on the zombie either.
Ning Yu decided she had seen enough.
She switched the dagger to a reverse grip in her left hand and picked up the axe from Wang Fuxiang's corpse with her right.
With an elegant sidestep, as the zombie leaned forward, she swung the axe and chopped off its head in one stroke.
The zombie's body immediately went still and collapsed to the ground.
But its severed head on the ground was still grimacing and moving its mouth!
Without lungs, throat, or vocal cords, it couldn't make any sound.
She hadn't expected that even with its head cut off, the monster wasn't completely dead.
Ning Yu walked over expressionlessly and stabbed her dagger into the brain of the rolling zombie head.
The zombie head froze, then ceased all movement.
It seemed that directly damaging the brain tissue was the best way to eliminate zombies.
Ning Yu made her final assessment.
Shen Yiyue watched in awe at Ning Yu's one-sided, overwhelming battle.
She was reminded of the "Butcher Ding Cuts Up an Ox" story she had learned in Chinese class, where the butcher's skill was described as seeing no whole ox - this was surely on that level!
The zombie had only clumsily attacked left and right, while Ning Yu seemed to be dancing with it.
She gracefully made incisions at key points, one after another.
When killing the two thugs earlier, Ning Yu had used sneak attacks. This was the first time Shen Yiyue had seen her fight head-on.
She felt a chill: if she had angered Ning Yu earlier, her fate would have been sealed.
At the same time, she felt a glimmer of hope: if she followed Ning Yu, could she also become strong?
[You have killed a common zombie, gained 10 points]
[Ding! New player task (3/3) completed: Kill a zombie!]
[Reward issued: Low-grade T-virus immunity capsule (3 hours) exchange permission, 150 points!]
A series of reward notifications sounded in Ning Yu's mind.
From the content, it seemed that killing common zombies would earn points, which could be exchanged for items.
And this low-grade T-virus immunity capsule sounded intriguing.
Ning Yu wiped the dagger and axe clean again and walked over to Shen Yiyue.
Continuing the conversation that had been interrupted by the zombie:
"I need you to cooperate with me and act together."
"In exchange, I'll look after your safety and teach you how to survive."
"I might even give you a chance to reunite with your sister and family."
"How does that sound? Fair enough?"
Looking at Ning Yu's delicate face and the faint amber color in her eyes, which were filled with calmness and confidence,
Shen Yiyue's gaze only hesitated briefly before becoming resolute again.
"Alright!" she agreed decisively.
No matter what, as long as she had a chance to reunite with her sister and family,
She was willing to do anything!
Shen Yiyue struggled to her feet from the dirty floor.
Her beautiful body had been kicked hard many times by Xu Qiang, and she had likely sustained serious injuries.
Her movements were somewhat shaky.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw Wang Fuxiang's corpse beginning to twitch slightly.
Gray and deep blue colors started spreading across his body.
Ning Yu noticed it too.
However, this time she didn't even turn her head.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.
