Chapter 164: End of the World - Zombie Era (3)

On the first day of the apocalypse, many people were unprepared. Those who were transformed turned into zombies in the early morning. Most people were attacked by their family members who turned into zombies while they were still asleep.

This was not a terrorist attack, nor an earthquake or flood. It was a natural disaster that occurred worldwide. Even if the government wanted to rescue, it had to deal with those who turned into zombies in the army first. Therefore, this day was almost a feast for zombies.

When screams came from outside, Ji Jiaqi was pushing the dining table in the living room to the entrance with a pale face to hold the door, because there was a zombie banging on the door outside.

The house she was renting was an old-fashioned one. When she rented it, the door was not very strong. Because she was a girl living alone, she installed a heavy and strong anti-theft door in front of the old-fashioned door after discussing with the landlord, so that the zombies did not break in when the trouble came.

After the dining table was pressed against the door, Ji Jiaqi turned around and leaned against the dining table with a panicked look on her face. When she heard the knock on the door, she leaned on the peephole to look. It was her neighbor outside, an old lady who also lived alone.

Maybe because of her old age, her personality is a bit withdrawn. Ji Jiaqi met her several times and greeted her, but she ignored her and walked with her head down. But just now, when she looked through the peephole, the old lady's pupils were white, her mouth was wide open, and she was roaring and knocking on the door as if she couldn't feel the pain.

Ji Jiaqi and Ji Hang had watched a zombie movie together. Although she felt horrible at that time, she never thought that such a thing would really happen in reality, but now, it really happened.

What should I do now?

Are I trapped in the house like this?

Ji Jiaqi was so panicked that she wanted to bite her fingers, but the cat boy who was sitting quietly on the coffee table and eating apples next to her opened his mouth and shouted at her in dissatisfaction: "Ah!"

She woke up from her dream and turned her eyes to Lin Shiheng.

The boy sitting on the coffee table looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with light brown hair, fair skin, and delicate features that would not make people ignore his gender, especially his round eyes, which were as blue as a clear gem. On top of his head, there was a pair of black triangular cat ears that trembled slightly, eliminating the possibility that people who saw the cat ears would think that they were props.

Even though I still couldn't believe that he was Hengheng from the first time I saw the boy until now, his ears, long tail, and blue eyes kept reminding Ji Jiaqi.

The end of the world has come, and after people turned into zombies, cats have turned into people again.

"Ah!"

Hengheng cat called again, and while calling, he stretched out his hand and touched his belly.

"Are you hungry?"

Lin Shiheng raised his head proudly and responded in a crisp voice: "I'm hungry."

Ji Jiaqi: "..."

So, her cat not only turned into a human, but also can speak, right?

Maybe because of too many blows, Ji Jiaqi didn't even have the strength to be shocked.

She stood up with her legs limp in a trance and went to the cabinet to get a can of food.

The cat boy followed her with great interest. His walking posture was the same as that of humans, but he didn't know if it was because of the long tail for balance, he looked very light and elegant.

This was very similar to Hengheng.

Ji Jiaqi was thinking absentmindedly while opening the can in his hand and handed it over.

The cat boy didn't take it, but directly put his face close to it, as if he hadn't adapted to his hand that had changed from a claw.

He sniffed, shrugged his nose, and turned his face away with a look of disgust.

This means not to eat.

Ji Jiaqi calmed down a little while in a trance. Hengheng didn't like to eat canned food either.

She carefully glanced at the cat-eared boy in front of her and tentatively called out: "Hengheng?"

Cat-eared boy: "Ah!"

Yes, this is Hengheng. Although he is picky about food and doesn't like to talk to people, at least he is not a zombie and won't hurt himself.

After thinking it through, Ji Jiaqi held Lin Shiheng's hand and cried again.

Lin Shiheng cried with his hand held expressionlessly.

This is the fourth time.

This girl is a little too fond of crying.

***

At first, Lin Shiheng thought Ji Jiaqi was a timid crybaby.

Until he found that Ji Jiaqi wiped her eyes and started to sharpen the kitchen knife at home after crying.

Before the end of the world, Ji Jiaqi was a homely woman. She once bought a whetstone and sharpened the knife herself when it was not sharp, which saved her a lot of things.

Now, after standing on the window and observing that the zombies were indeed as shown in the movie, except for hitting the head, they were useless, Ji Jiaqi, who cried four times in just two days, began to make her own weapons.

She also knew that even if there was a room full of food, it would not last a lifetime, and she had food, but not as much water as food. Since she would starve to death if she stayed in the house, she might as well go out and fight.

And...

Ji Jiaqi, who was working hard to sharpen the knife, looked back and saw the cat-eared boy tilting his head to look at her. She smiled at him subconsciously.

Hengheng was entrusted to her by Sister Yun. Even if it was the end of the world, she would definitely take good care of him.

Hengheng is not a human being, he will not betray like a human being, as long as she takes good care of him, he will definitely not leave her.

Full of confidence * Ji * Ready to go * Jia * Full of courage * Qi encouraged herself and continued to sharpen the knife.

Lin Shiheng, who was watching her from the side, didn't know what he had in mind and suddenly became determined. He took a bite of the apple and lay down by the window to look at the situation below.

In summary, the situation is very bad.

Zombies mutated in the early morning, and many people were killed while sleeping, and those who were not killed were also infected with the zombie virus and joined the zombie army.

In other words, there are fewer and fewer humans, and more and more zombies.

It's not good for humans.

After the cat-eared boy finished cheating the apple, he threw the apple core into the trash can accurately, looked at a human being being hunted below and screamed. The next second, the zombie in front of him was tripped by the vines that appeared out of thin air, and the human was stunned for less than a second, then he got up in a hurry and fled into the residential building opposite.

He nodded thoughtfully.

A superpower...

It seems that he can still be kept.

***

After sharpening the knife, Ji Jiaqi measured the length of the kitchen knife, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a mop. After making several grooves on it, she stretched out her hand and broke it. When she felt that it could not be broken, she used wire and ropes that could be found at home to fix the kitchen knife on it.

After making sure it was tied, she waved the new weapon continuously, trying to test whether it would fall off due to the swing. This would be the prop she used to survive, so she must be cautious.

After that, Ji Jiaqi pushed the long dining table back horizontally, leaving a small gap between it and the door, and then found all the sundries in the bedroom and piled them under the dining table to ensure that the zombies could not get in from inside, and then turned around to find Lin Shiheng.

"Hengheng."

She called out, but did not see the cat-eared boy. When she looked for him in a panic, she found that the boy had disappeared, and there was only a beautiful ragdoll cat left on the balcony.

It turned back.

Ji Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief after being stunned.

According to her observation, those zombies only attack humans and ignore animals. Hengheng looks cute and good-looking when he turns into a human, which makes people want to touch his head, but he doesn't seem to have any killing power.

It's better to turn into a cat, so that she won't be hurt by zombies. Even if she really dies at the hands of zombies, Hengheng can survive.

To put it another way, even if she really dies, at least the door is open, and Hengheng doesn't have to be locked in the house to die. He is a cat, and zombies won't bite him.

Thinking about it, Ji Jiaqi became more determined in her decision.

She picked up the ragdoll cat, touched its soft fur, and said softly as if she was talking to a child: "Hengheng, you can understand what I say, right? I know you can turn into a human, but there are monsters outside now. If you turn into a human, they will bite you. If the monsters come in and I'm not here, you can go out from the door like a cat, okay?"

As she spoke, Ji Jiaqi was a little worried that the ragdoll cat didn't understand, so she carried it to the entrance and demonstrated several times by pointing at the door.

As she demonstrated, she started to cry.

No one wanted to take risks, but she observed that zombies would be attracted by sound. There were so many people living in the residential building, and the sound of the old lady zombie outside knocking on the door was so loud. If it continued like this, it would attract more zombies sooner or later.

She lived on a high floor, so it was impossible for her to jump down. Instead of sitting back and eating up all the food and being surrounded by zombies outside, she might as well kill a way out for herself while she still had the strength.

After crying, Ji Jiaqi wiped her tears, carried the ragdoll cat into the house, and then gritted her teeth and slowly opened the door.

After the inner door was opened, there was another layer.

The zombies outside seemed to feel that there was one less obstacle in front of them, and they banged the door more vigorously.

—— Bang bang bang!

Following the sound of banging the door, Ji Jiaqi looked through the cat's eye again, and after confirming that there was indeed only one zombie outside, she opened the last door.

As the door opened, the old lady zombie was excited to rush in, but because of the obstruction of the dining table, no matter how hard she squeezed in, she could only squeeze in a head and a hand.

The white eyes could not see anything, but her eyes were staring straight at Ji Jiaqi who was standing not far away from her, while making an animal-like roar in her mouth, and waving at her with her claws that had grown longer with mutation.

Ji Jiaqi had tears in her eyes, and without much hesitation, while the old lady zombie was howling at her, she picked up the weapon she made by hand.

The knife fell.

Oh no, it didn't fall.

The human bones were too hard, and the neck didn't break after one cut.

Ji Jiaqi gritted his teeth and chopped several more times.

——Gudong!

The old lady's head fell on the floor of the house, her sharp howling stopped, and her body outside also fell down.

Lin Shiheng had already walked to the bedroom door with light steps after Ji Jiaqi opened the door and looked outside to see what was going on.

The pretty girl cried like a tearful person, and then she chopped the head on the ground several times. After she was sure that the old lady was dead, she dared to step forward, picked up the old lady's hair with her gloved hands, and threw the whole head outside.

She really cried hard, her whole body was trembling, and it looked like she was a girl who was easy to bully.

Then the easy-to-bully Ji Jiaqi cried while walking to the door.

He picked up the old lady's head, threw it outside, closed the door, and wiped the blood with a mop, all in one go.
