At around six in the morning.
Xiao Yu finally emptied out the third cold storage facility.
He gained another 4,500 tons of meat and fruits and vegetables.
The haul was impressive.
But the exhaustion was real.
They had set out at around three in the afternoon, and now nearly fifteen hours had passed.
Even with his full attributes enhanced, he could barely withstand the repeated drain from activating the Space Warehouse.
"Let's go. We'll head back to the hotel to rest first. After we've slept, we'll reassess the situation."
The gunshots and grenade explosions throughout the city had become even more intense.
There were even machine guns firing, indicating that the T-Virus had spread seriously.
Everyone's mental state was declining.
It was safer to go back.
The door to the presidential suite was very sturdy. Even if a zombie outbreak occurred in the hotel, with the Zombies' current strength, they wouldn't be able to break it down.
As the sports car passed Jinhu Bridge, Xiao Yu noticed that the checkpoint previously manned by four armed soldiers was now guarded by only two.
Either the others had been reassigned for patrol, or they had turned into Zombies.
Back at the hotel.
Xiao Yu shut the door with a bang. "Everyone rest up. Shower after you sleep."
He really didn't want to move anymore.
The sound of the door startled the Zombie in the room next door, but the growl was drowned out by the gunfire.
Another person who heard the door closing was the Beautiful Croupier, Anna, who was hiding in the wardrobe.
"The people next door are back."
"I'm so jealous they can come and go freely, while I'm stuck hiding in this wardrobe."
Anna felt so wronged she wanted to cry.
She had been trapped inside the wardrobe all night—no food, no water. She was desperate to pee and felt like her stomach was stuck to her spine.
She also had to remain on edge the entire time. If the zombified Wang Xue found her, she would surely die.
"Someone please save me."
"I'm going to die!"
Through the crack in the wardrobe door, Anna could see the cell phone on the bed. Many times she had wanted to sneak over and send a distress message.
But Wang Xue had been roaming around the room the entire time.
There was never a chance.
…
Around four in the afternoon.
Xiao Yu woke up and stretched lazily, feeling completely refreshed.
Although gunshots and sirens still echoed outside, the soundproofing in the presidential suite was excellent. Once the windows were shut, almost nothing could be heard.
He had slept very well.
He lit a cigarette and headed into the bathroom for a shower.
Despite the worsening situation in the city, the water, electricity, and gas systems were still operational. In his previous life, even after the full outbreak of the T-Virus, water and gas services didn't cut off until half a month later.
Electricity lasted for a month.
Of course, if your account was out of funds and tripped the breakers, that was just your bad luck.
By now, An Xiaoran and Han Kexin had also gotten up.
Xiao Yu came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
After all, they'd all seen things before. They were tempting each other anyway.
And truth be told—
After his attributes were enhanced fourfold, Xiao Yu's muscles were more refined and defined, his lines smooth, full of explosive power.
He even experienced a second round of physical development.
Lying on the bed, he formed a bold "奆" shape.
Impressive? Definitely.
"Xiao Yu, look! So many military trucks," An Xiaoran said, pointing outside after opening the window.
Xiao Yu was taken aback and came over to the window to take a look. He saw rows of military vehicles speeding along the distant road.
Each one was mounted with heavy machine guns.
Han Kexin opened her window too.
Immediately, the intense gunfire outside flooded into the room, even louder than it had been when they returned that morning.
There were even people occasionally running in the streets.
"Looks like the full lockdown of the city has failed."
"Some people have already broken out of their neighborhoods."
Given how chaotic the city was now, with everyone confined at home and no food delivery, a riot was bound to happen sooner or later.
It was just happening earlier than in his previous life.
"Let's eat first."
"After that, we'll go out to check the situation. If it's too bad, we'll leave S City."
Xiao Yu was starting to worry.
After all, without good weapons, it was extremely dangerous to scavenge supplies in the city.
Even if he used Mental Enchantment to get guns from soldiers…
Guns were consumable weapons.
And Zombies needed to be shot in the head. If your marksmanship wasn't up to par, melee weapons were actually more reliable.
In the luxury suite next door.
Since the windows of the two rooms were next to each other, and Anna hadn't closed hers before hiding in the wardrobe—
She had heard everything Xiao Yu and the others said.
"They're planning to leave?"
"If they go, I'll lose my only chance of being saved…"
Anna had always hoped that someone next door would hear the low growls of the zombified Wang Xue.
As long as they took notice—
Maybe they'd bring soldiers upstairs, and she'd be saved.
Unfortunately, the gunfire outside was too loud.
Wang Xue's zombie growls were completely drowned out.
"I really want to get out of here."
"I have to pee so badly."
As time passed, Anna heard the door closing from next door.
"They've gone out."
"That man said they might leave S City…"
"No!"
"If they leave, I'll be left here all alone waiting to die. I have to get out!"
Anna peeked out through the crack in the wardrobe door.
At that moment, Zombie Wang Xue wandered into the bathroom again.
"This is it. My chance!"
Anna had rehearsed this moment in her mind many times. Her only chance at survival was when Wang Xue went into the bathroom.
She carefully pushed open the wardrobe door.
Good—she didn't alert Wang Xue.
She quietly picked up a blanket—still no reaction.
One step, two steps, three steps... (like a devil's footwork)
Anna cautiously crept toward the door. Finally, just as she passed by the bathroom, she was spotted by Wang Xue inside.
"Roar—"
The zombified Wang Xue let out a terrifying roar.
But Anna had already anticipated this. She screamed to boost her courage—
Then threw the blanket over Wang Xue's head.
Zombie Wang Xue was instantly wrapped like a dumpling.
No matter how she chomped or how wide she opened her mouth, she was only biting into the blanket.
Taking the opportunity, Anna opened the door and bolted out.
"Help! Somebody help me!"
