The Apocalypse had just begun in the first two days, many people developed high fevers, some fevers receded quickly, and those people even discovered they had awakened special abilities, while others, still delirious with fever, transformed directly into zombies and lunged at the friends, lovers, and even family members who were caring for them.

Television stations, after going offline on the first day, resumed their normal broadcast by the morning of the second day. A family watched the TV as it reported situations from around the globe and couldn’t stop sighing.

Almost all media outlets were urging people not to go out unless absolutely necessary.

From their TVs, citizens could see footage of various supermarkets, monitored by cameras; restaurants, hotels, including images captured by drones of markets and streets, virtually every corner teemed with wandering zombies.

The news reported that the Huaxia military would implement various emergency measures, exterminate zombies, and would collaborate with countries worldwide to rapidly research inhibitors for the zombie virus, ensuring citizens could stay safe at home. It also advised that if anyone had a feverish family member or friend, they should be isolated immediately.

Drones also captured footage of fully armed military forces appearing on the streets, firing live ammunition to kill the roaming zombies, the scenes were incredibly striking.

It seemed that in the early stages of the Apocalypse, the situation was still within the local government’s control.

Su Jin shook her head and told everyone that this was just to pacify the public, the real situation was far more severe than reported on the television. Advising everyone to stay at home now would mean that after some time, those who never ventured out would be completely unable to face any zombie, just one child zombie could bite and infect all the residents of an entire floor, then assimilate them. If from the beginning there were calls for citizens to resist as much as they could and gather whatever food they could, the situation might have been better.

Because after some time, not only would the number of zombies increase, their abilities would also grow stronger. Special ability users still weren’t accustomed to using their powers when there were already Level Two, even Level Three special ability zombies appearing.

After hearing Su Jin’s words, her family had no doubts, they wholeheartedly believed what Su Jin said. So, when Su Jin suggested luring zombies into the yard for them to kill, they didn’t shrink back.

During these initial days of the Apocalypse, Su Jin planned to let her family practice killing zombies at home or nearby. So she intended to work with Lu Hao to lure the zombies in the alley one by one. If they lured them all at once, her family definitely couldn’t cope.

The family looked grimly at the howling zombie in the yard, although Su Jin had used vines to tie it to the railing, it was still so disgusting…

“How about, I show you how to kill the first one?” Su Jin raised an eyebrow at her family, who all nodded in agreement, and Lu Hao, trusting Su Jin a lot, positioned himself in front of the family to prevent the zombie from inadvertently harming them.

Today, Su Jin wore a white openwork shirt that accentuated her slender waist, and blue jeans that made her legs look long and straight.

Su Jin pulled out a hair tie and tied up her long hair that was draped over her shoulders, then picked up the Ghost Hand Knife in her hand and approached the zombie.

“Sister Xiao Jin, be careful,” Mao Qiqi couldn’t help but shout out.

With a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, Su Jin removed the vines tying up the zombie, indeed, she wanted to show her family how to defeat a zombie without using special abilities.

This was a male zombie, not a neighbor they recognized. Judging by his appearance, he must have been in his thirties or forties before he died, and was tall. Once free from the vines, he immediately lunged at Su Jin, who was closest to him.

Su Jin didn’t dodge, and the moment the male zombie was about to touch her, she swiftly moved behind him, kicked off the fence, and launched an attack at the back of the zombie’s head. Su Jin was very fast, and the Ghost Hand Knife was extremely sharp— in one swift motion, the entire head of the male zombie was chopped off and rolled towards her family.

Looking back at Su Jin, she was still in that white shirt, without a drop of blood on her body. If one ignored the bloody knife in her hand, everyone might think the smiling woman was a serene beauty. At this moment, apart from Lu Hao, the family swallowed their saliva, looking at her in awe; she was too formidable!

“Sister Xiao Jin, you’re so cool and amazing,” Mao Qiqi had been scared till her eyes were red, but that didn’t stop her from admiring Su Jin. She thought her Sister Xiao Jin was much more beautiful than any female star on television.

Lu Hao looked at Su Jin before him, seeing this side of her for the first time—her deadly decisiveness combined with gentle beauty struck his heart deeply. He could even hear his heart beating faster in his chest. He thought, probably only his Xiao Jin could have such a temperament in this world. ꞦἁΝóᛒЁṠ

Ignoring the eager eyes of others, Su Jin walked over to the fallen head, searched inside the zombie’s head with her knife, and unfortunately found no Crystal Core. Such a pity.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, Nie Qing asked, “Girl, were you looking for something like a Beast Core?”

“Yes, the Crystal Core in the zombie’s head is really valuable. Don’t forget to collect them,” Su Jin responded.

“Xiao Jin, let me take the next one,” Lu Hao stepped forward and said.

“Okay, be careful.”

So the family watched with wide eyes as Lu Hao lured zombies and killed them, his movements even swifter than Su Jin’s. The zombies Lu Hao killed still had no Crystal Cores in their heads. Given the stench still emanating from the corpses in the yard, Lu Hao set another fire, turning two zombie bodies to ash.

Not wanting to be outdone, Su Xiangzhe was the first to stand up. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law perform so excellently, how could he, an elder, cower in fear?

Without asking Lu Hao for further help to lure zombies, Su Xiangzhe planned to go out himself, while Su Jin and Lu Hao stood on the second floor, ready to use their Special Abilities to help if Su Xiangzhe encountered danger.

There were about five or six zombies in the alley, which smelled Su Xiangzhe’s living scent and ran toward him.

“Dad! Run!” Su Jin shouted from the second floor.

Unexpectedly, these zombies, seemingly dull-witted, moved so fast. Su Xiangzhe didn’t dare to slack off and sprinted toward the home, alert.

“Old Lu, close the door!” Su Xiangzhe ran in, with three zombies close behind. When the first female zombie ran in, Lu Guanhai slammed the large iron door shut with a bang.

The female zombie that had run in sensed Lu Guanhai—the closest person by the door—and suddenly changed direction, reaching out to grab him.

“Be careful!” Lu Hao shouted from upstairs, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Though taken by surprise, Lu Guanhai, having been a soldier and taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, reflexively rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided the incoming female zombie’s claw.

By then, Su Xiangzhe had also come over, wielding a Watermelon Knife, and slashed the female zombie’s arm. The zombie, seemingly insensitive to pain and now noticing Su Xiangzhe who had hurt her, finally shifted her focus to him.

“Dad, attacking other parts is ineffective; you can only aim for the head,” Su Jin and Lu Hao, who had already come downstairs, coordinated from the side.

Su Xiangzhe noticed too that no matter where he injured the female zombie, it had no effect and only seemed to excite her further. Deciding to go all out, he mimicked Su Jin’s tactic, circled to the zombie’s back, and aimed a chop at the back of her skull. Unexpectedly, the zombie reacted much faster than before, blocking his blade with her arm?!

Zombies could protect their own heads now? They could think?

This thought left the family behind him incredulous.

“She must have evolved a speed-related Special Ability; I’ll go help Dad,” Su Jin said to Lu Hao.

“I’ll go.”

Lu Hao held back Su Jin. Having already killed two zombies, including one power-type evolved zombie, and seeing his father-in-law in danger, he couldn’t help but want to step forward.

With Su Jin’s nod, Lu Hao grabbed a knife and struck at the female zombie. The speed-type Special Ability was indeed very fast. Lu Hao’s surprise attack was swift, but she was even faster. Just as Lu Hao was about to hit her shoulder, she jumped away?!

The female zombie roared at Lu Hao, her previous jump landing her directly on a step in the yard.

“Dad, I’ll draw her attention,” Lu Hao said to Su Xiangzhe, who nodded and kept his eyes tightly on the female zombie, searching for her weak spot. Lu Hao cut toward the left side of the female zombie’s waist, and just as she was about to dodge, she was tripped by Lu Hao’s leg sticking out to her right!

Su Xiangzhe finally spotted an opening and, using all his strength, chopped at the female zombie’s head!
