Chapter 220: Chapter 097: If it can bring you hope, I am willing to bear this battle

Night.

The crisp wind swept through, making the two people shiver.

Footsteps could be heard if one listened carefully, light as they were.

But for the two who were in the heat of the moment, the sounds of the outside world were irrelevant; they just wanted to work quickly to ascend to a higher plane in that wonderful atmosphere and reach the pinnacle of human experience.

This was the sublime union of spirits.

Suddenly.

A voice came through.

"What are you doing?"

Startled by this voice, Tang Li cramped up on the spot and hurriedly got up. The woman beside him quickly put on her clothes as well.

Caught in the act, it was thrilling and frightening.

The woman could clearly feel Tang Li shiver.

Two minutes, she estimated.

A step back.

The beam of the flashlight shone on them.

The female bodyguard said, "Doing this in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid of the bugs and snakes around here? If you want to do it, go back home. You’re supposed to be on patrol right now, not doing this."

Tang Li wanted to say, "Your words are fine, but could you not shine the flashlight on my girlfriend? It’s making me uncomfortable," but hearing that the voice was a woman’s, he didn’t care. Let the light shine, let her look, it’s no loss for a woman to see another woman, and as a man, it’s normal for him to be looked at by a woman, nothing wrong there.

"Yes, yes, we got it," responded Tang Li, now fully clothed.

The female bodyguard continued, "It’s the end of the world, you know the dangers out there. This island belongs to Mr. Tang; him taking you in and providing food is already more than generous. Assigning you work isn’t to use you, it’s for everyone to consider their own safety. If zombies were to drift over from the lake, the consequences would be very severe."

Tang Li and the woman nodded.

Indeed.

Upon arriving on the island, this tycoon, Mr. Tang, was quite friendly. Although the food wasn’t luxurious, they still had fragrant white rice with some vegetables.

It was certainly better than barely surviving outside.

Tang Li said, "We’re surrounded by water here. Zombies can’t swim; they shouldn’t be able to get across, right?"

As he spoke, he looked out over the lake.

In his view, it was an impossibility; since when could zombies swim?

Wait a minute.

What was that?

The lake was illuminated, and shadows could be seen floating. In a flash, Tang Li’s pupils shrank, as if he had seen a ghost, and turning his head, he pointed towards the lake and said to the female bodyguard, "Big sister, there’s something floating over there."

The female bodyguard quickly looked toward the lake, her expression instantly becoming serious, "Quick, go back and tell everyone, there are zombies floating over the lake, hurry..."

"Oh, oh..."

Tang Li, accompanied by his girlfriend, rushed back to the manor.

The female bodyguard was shaken by the sight on the lake. Glancing at it, she could make out at least a dozen heads. Listening closely, she could almost hear the zombies’ faint ’heh heh’ sounds. Some were facing the lake, some skyward, silently drifting with the current.

"What should we do?" The female bodyguard stood firm and calm, absolutely not panicking. The zombies were still several meters from the shore, drifting motionlessly. Could they swim, or couldn’t they?

With this thought.

She picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it into the lake.

With a splash, water sprayed.

The female bodyguard, who was about to run, saw a shocking scene. The disturbed zombies floundered in the water, saw the female bodyguard on the shore, and let out a series of roars, stretching out their arms, trying to grab the fresh flesh.

The bodyguard, who wanted to run, didn’t. Instead, she watched the zombies sink to the bottom of the lake.

"Zombies can’t swim. They only float and drift with the current. When they hear a sound or detect movement, they react instinctively and sink to the bottom."

With that realization.

She hurried towards the manor.

At this moment.

The manor was in chaos. Those who had run back had immediately notified the bodyguards of the manor. The other survivors, hearing this, were completely stunned. They hadn’t expected to face the threat of zombies even here—would this nightmare never end?

They stood foolishly in the manor, watching the busy bodyguards, some unsure of what to do next.

Faced with this situation, they wanted to help.

But they really didn’t know how to help.

Tang Li looked grave. He hadn’t expected that the young man was right: the zombies really did come from the water. He hadn’t anticipated this.

When the manor’s walls were built, they were of normal height. If there were too many zombies, they might not hold.

The female bodyguard hurried in, "Master, I’ve found that the zombies can only drift with the current. When they hear a sound, they will flounder in the water and eventually sink. The manor has a broadcasting room. Play some sounds to startle them, make them thrash in the water, and sink."

Tang Li didn’t have time to think, "Hurry."

"Okay."

The female bodyguard rushed towards the broadcasting room.

This broadcasting room had been prepared by Tang Li for his wife, who loved to dance to square music. She often played music over the system. He never imagined that in such a moment, it would prove useful.

Immediately after.

Passionate and uplifting music blared from the speakers.

"The vast expanse of the world is my love..."

The passion spread in all directions.
