Chapter 58: Chapter 55: Bro, Don’t Be Impulsive Bang, bang, bang, frantic pounding. Luckily, the zombies don’t know how to pull open doors, and thankfully they don’t understand coordination; otherwise, a single crash could completely destroy the precarious unit door. "Ah..." An involuntary scream echoed from behind Qin Ya. "Stop screaming!" "Keep quiet!" Zhang Su and Qin Ya both glared at Yu Nuo, who had shouted. Zombies lack intelligence but possess a strong instinct. Like violent criminals, the more you scream, the more excited they get! Yu Nuo hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes showing uncontrollable fear, with the mob of zombies just a door away making her feel breathless. The youngest, Liu Xuanyu, face turned ash-gray, he tightly pressed his lips together, both fists clenched, purely silent. "This door won’t hold, get upstairs fast!" Qin Ya beckoned to everyone, leading the charge towards the stairwell. Zhang Su wanted to head down to the parking lot, but considering the chaos, in case of any unforeseen events there, they would have no way to retreat. He gritted his teeth and led Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan upstairs too! Chaotic, dense footsteps echoed in succession, as the group barely reached the third floor, a loud crash was heard from downstairs. The unit door was sacrificed, zombies treading on the fallen door squeezed into the unit, their cries reverberating at once. The group looked at each other, knowing zombies ascend stairs slowly, yet couldn’t help but quicken their pace upwards. Qin Ya picked up the little boy Liu Xuanyu in one swift motion, sprinting madly, urgently saying, "The ninth floor, let’s go to the ninth floor, hurry!" Once the group dashed into the door of 902, everyone collapsed onto the floor, panting heavily. "Damn, my legs nearly gave out from fear!" A burly man leaned his head against the wall, revealing a relieved smile after surviving a disaster. Zhang Su didn’t sit down, instead scanning the room, glaring at the middle-aged man in the corner, swiftly stepping towards him, bending down to grab his collar and lift him up. With a bang, Zhang Su slammed the man against the wall, swish, a sharp axe instantly poised at his neck, its chipped blade still gleaming coldly! The sequence of actions flowed smoothly, leaving the man bewildered and feeling a chill on his neck, he pleaded loudly, "Ah... don’t kill me, I’m sorry, please don’t!" The middle-aged man looked to be around fifty, wearing a milk store’s uniform, with a hat on his head, likely a milk delivery worker, face full of panic, clearly frightened by Zhang Su’s actions. "Brother, don’t do this, calm down, don’t be impulsive!" Qin Ya seemed to have springs in his seat, bouncing up quickly, soothingly said, "Brother, from this master’s perspective, not letting you inside isn’t wrong, don’t do something you’ll regret for life!" The living room’s atmosphere instantly tightened, Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan couldn’t afford to rest, quickly standing up beside Zhang Su, vigilantly watching Qin Ya and the others. Often, it’s not about right or wrong, but about stance. Zhang Su’s icy gaze shifted from the milk delivery worker’s face to Qin Ya, licking his lips said, "You’re right, from his perspective, not letting us in wasn’t wrong, but from my own perspective, it’s troublesome for him, is there a problem?" "Not at all!" The burly man sitting on the ground chimes in, standing up and pointing at the milk delivery worker, "You’re too damn selfish, but brother, you’re on the eighth floor, right? Calm down, the kids are watching, calm down." Qin Ya, seeing Zhang Su’s cold and ruthless eyes, didn’t doubt he dared kill the milk delivery worker; however, he felt puzzled, not understanding why someone willing to rescue him could be so brutal. "Brother, listen to me, let’s drop the weapons and talk... disaster strikes, outside’s a damn wasteland like doomsday; at times like these, we should unite as one, cooperate to have a chance to survive!" "Give me face, let him go, I already kicked him earlier, it wasn’t light, and you’ve safely escaped danger, haven’t you?" Qin Ya spreads his hands, sincerely looking at Zhang Su, pointing towards the window direction, saying, "Why not take one last look at your home, it’s about to collapse." Zhang Su’s mouth twitched slightly, not expecting this special police officer to be so humorous; if he’d come in imposing, accusing people of illegal activities, there would be no point to the conversation! "Alright, I’ll give face to the special police officer!" Saying that, Zhang Su released his grip, turned towards the window. Instead of giving face to the special police officer, it’s more like giving face to the gun he carries... The milk delivery worker collapsed to the ground as if drained, with lingering fear, looking at Zhang Su’s back, swallowing hard, having clearly felt death approaching earlier, without someone to speak for him, he likely wouldn’t have made it. "Damn, this... damn it!" The burly man, hearing Qin Ya’s words, also moved to the window, dumbfounded, looking at the opposite building; saying it collapsed is exaggerated, but the raging fire had spread, except for the first and second floors, most of the building was engulfed. In just over ten minutes, the blaze had grown uncontrollable. Even being twenty to thirty meters away, everyone seemed to feel a burning heat, turning it into a hollow shell was only a matter of time. "Brother, my name is Duan Wuhu, I live in 401, now we’re truly homeless!" The burly man Duan Wuhu, with a bitter expression, extended his hand to Zhang Su. Zhang Su sighed, shook his hand, saying, "I’m Zhang Su, you’re right, living on the eighth floor." "Alright, one fire, saving the cremation process, wife, mom, rest in peace!" After finishing, Duan Wuhu knelt with Duan Sihai in front of the window, bowing three times towards their home. Everyone in the room looked at each other, not expecting the Duan Brothers’ home was so tragically lost, but when they turned to reflect, surviving might not truly be fortunate, the real ordeal was just beginning. "This is my brother Duan Sihai, are the two beauties also from building three? You look unfamiliar." Duan Wuhu rose after bowing, introducing his brother to Zhang Su and the others, while asking about the two beauties next to Zhang Su. "Yes, I’m Zheng Xinyu, Brother Su’s girlfriend! Hello Duan Wuhu and Duan Sihai." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 Zheng Xinyu responded warmly to Duan Wuhu, shaking hands with him. "I, well, I... live in 802, called Zhong Xiaoshan, hello everyone." Zhong Xiaoshan was reluctant to call herself Zhang Su’s girlfriend; they had just slept together, their relationship was uncertain, unable to openly say she’s a third party, thus completely skipping over it. "The two beauties aren’t simple..." Duan Wuhu rubbed his palm, gesturing to the two, having clearly felt the callouses on their palms during the handshake, seemingly having trained a lot recently.
