Chapter 11 Cleaning up the zombies
Jumping onto the wall, Yu Yao observed the zombies outside.
He found a less crowded spot and jumped down, then boldly charged into the horde of zombies.
Wielding two swords, she fought with ferocious speed and chilling intent, her graceful and fluid movements possessing an indescribable charm and beauty.
In a villa not far away.
Several young people gathered in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the girl move freely through the horde of zombies, so shocked that they were almost speechless.
After a long while, one of the girls said incredulously, "Yu, Yu Yao?"
The people nearby reacted differently upon hearing this.
When the young man standing at the farthest point heard those two words, his eyes flickered slightly, almost imperceptibly, and he fell into deep thought as he looked at Yu Yao's face, which she occasionally glanced at.
"Yu Yao? How is that possible?" Another girl in a white dress frowned, her face full of disbelief.
Or perhaps it's a matter of not wanting to believe it.
The girl who spoke first was a little annoyed by the rebuttal. She frowned and glanced at the person, saying, "Why is it impossible? I saw it very clearly. That's Yu Yao, Yu Yao from the Chinese Literature Department."
Her certainty made the others suspicious, and they couldn't help but stare more closely at the girl in the horde of zombies.
The young man standing at a distance seemed to have made up his mind at that moment, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go help her."
The girl in the white dress looked at him in disbelief. "Senior Ji Yan, what did you say? You're going to help her? The outside world is full of man-eating monsters! You'll die!"
The others also showed their disapproval.
Ji Yan glanced coldly at the girl in the white dress, without responding to her question.
He simply said to another young man standing closest to him, "Lock the door, I won't implicate you."
The young man frowned: "What are you saying? What do you mean by 'implicate'? We just don't want you to go and die!"
Ji Yan picked up his coat and put it on, saying in a deep voice, "If Yu Yao, a girl, isn't afraid of death, why should I be?"
The young man grabbed Ji Yan's arm, frowned, and asked, "Didn't you see her skills? She's different from us!"
Ji Yan paused for a moment, then gently pushed the young man's hand away, picked up a Miao sword from the side and said, "You should have noticed as well. Although these monsters look scary, they are slow-moving and easy to defeat."
"But......"
Didn't you hear the morning broadcast? The world is in chaos; we can't hide forever.
It must be said that the country reacted quickly, issuing warnings immediately, reminding various regions to establish safety zones, and dispatching the military to organize search and rescue operations.
At the same time, the public who could hear the broadcast were advised to protect themselves and not to panic.
After Ji Yan finished speaking, he turned around and resolutely walked downstairs.
"Damn it, you're insane!" the young man cursed, gritting his teeth as he instructed the others, "Lock the door, and whatever you do, don't go out!"
After saying that, he grabbed a knife and quickly followed Ji Yan downstairs.
Ji Yan, who had stepped out of the villa's inner door first, did not expect that Ji Yan would also follow him out.
His hand, gripping the hospital doorknob, paused for a moment before he asked in a deep voice, "Zi'ang, are you sure?"
Ye Ziang gritted his teeth, which were trembling with fear, and said in a trembling voice, "You're right, we can't hide forever."
Seeing his fearful yet forced composure, Ji Yan gave him a deep look, his expression subtly shifting.
Then, with a barely perceptible smirk, he instructed, "Yu Yao always beheads people directly. Those few people only stopped attacking after we smashed their heads. I suspect that thing's weakness is its head."
"Do you really think that's Yu Yao?"
Ye Ziang still couldn't reconcile the image of this decisive and ruthless girl with that of the harmless Yu Yao from before.
"She is."
"If you say so, then open the door!" Ye Ziang stared at Ji Yan, looking as if he were ready to die.
Ji Yan nodded, glanced up at his companions behind the third-floor window, then looked away and decisively pushed open the courtyard gate.
Because the zombies had all been drawn away by Yu Yao, there weren't many zombies around the villa where Ji Yan and the others were.
The two closed the gate, gripped their Miao swords, and walked step by step toward Yu Yao's location.
Even while killing zombies, Yu Yao didn't forget to keep an eye on the surrounding map.
She watched the two pale purple dots getting closer and closer on the map, her eyebrows slightly raised. She hadn't expected anyone to step forward to help her.
With that thought in mind, she sped up her zombie-hunting speed, wielding her two Tang swords in a blur, and her experience and gold coins skyrocketed.
A few minutes later, she finally saw the person's true face.
It felt strangely familiar; it was probably someone the original owner used to know.
However, after ten years of the apocalypse, many of the original owner's memories from before the apocalypse have become blurred and unclear.
So she couldn't remember who the other person was for a moment.
However, she was somewhat surprised by the skill of the newcomers. They were clearly two young people who looked like college students, but they were surprisingly ruthless.
I tried my best to kill a zombie head with one strike each time.
If they can't cut off the head, they'll cut off the hands first to avoid being scratched.
One of them was trembling and panicking; he was probably terrified.
As Yu Yao pondered, she suddenly turned around and chopped off the head of a zombie that had attacked from behind with a single stroke, her brows furrowing slightly.
She had found it strange from the beginning; had the zombies' combat awareness improved so quickly?
Or is there an intelligent zombie directing things from behind the scenes?
Ji Yan and Ye Ziang consciously moved towards Yu Yao while killing zombies.
Although they weren't fast at killing zombies, they had already managed to cut down five or six zombies together, which had attracted the attention of the zombie horde.
Compared to the powerful Yu Yao, these two young people were clearly easier targets and were quickly put under surveillance.
I felt the pressure on my side decrease dramatically.
Yu Yao was certain that this group of zombies was organized and disciplined, meaning that there were intelligent zombies controlling them from behind!
Yu Yao immediately began to examine the mini-map, trying to find this unusual zombie.
As Ye Ziang felt the pressure mounting, he thought to himself, "It's all over."
Although he was somewhat skilled, he was ultimately a pampered young master.
In addition, the zombie's body was incredibly tough, and he had to use all his strength to cut off the zombie's head every time he swung his knife.
After several stabs, he was already exhausted. His hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably, and his face was deathly pale.
Just when he was on the verge of collapse, he heard Ji Yan's anxious shouts.
"Zi'ang, get out of the way!!"
Ye Ziang turned around blankly and found an unusually tall and agile zombie grabbing at him, its sharp claws less than ten centimeters from his face.
This is really the end.
This was his only thought.
He was completely exhausted; he didn't even have the strength to dodge, let alone swing his sword.
Looks like I'm going to die here today.
Ye Ziang smiled bitterly, already preparing to close his eyes and accept everything with equanimity.
Just then, he felt a flash of silver light before his eyes.
Those incredibly sharp zombie claws, radiating endless deathly aura, fell silently amidst the silver light.
It was actually cut.
Ye Ziang gasped, looking at the person who had saved him, his voice trembling slightly.
"Yu Yao?"
Yu Yao used her left hand to slice off the zombie's right claw from bottom to top.
He turned around and appeared in front of Ye Ziang, his right hand gripping the Tang sword in reverse as he quickly slashed at the zombie's neck from his chest.
Unfortunately, the zombie was somewhat intelligent and moved extremely fast. After noticing Yu Yao's arrival, it knew it couldn't defeat her.
He immediately retreated, and although he lost an arm, at least he survived.
Yu Yao was not annoyed by her failed attack. She activated the Wind Riding skill, which increased her speed by half. With a twirl of her two swords, she nimbly caught up with the fleeing zombie.
Seeing that Ye Ziang was safe, Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly dealt with the three remaining zombies around him.
Then he quickly moved closer to Ye Ziang and shielded him behind him.
