Chapter 280: Chapter 106: Sorry, I’m a journalist, it’s just that the apocalypse came too quickly. _5

The long-haired man seemed a bit stunned as he said to the woman, "Cao Yan, what’s going on with you? Do you really never learn? Have you forgotten what happened back then?"

As the long-haired man mentioned this incident, everyone understood.

When they first came here to hide, there were also three survivors who desperately begged to come in. They hesitated, but it was Cao Yan who said to let them in, arguing that they couldn’t just watch them die, and eventually, they let the people in.

But who would have thought, it was letting the wolf into the den.

Just two days later, taking advantage of their physical strength, these three male survivors harbored ill intentions, planning to toy with the women here, and the first one they caught was Cao Yan.

Cao Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale; crying and screaming for help, she hoped they would save her.

In the end, they killed the three survivors, but also lost a teammate.

Cao Yan, looking somewhat dissatisfied at the long-haired man, said, "Miao Li, how can you be so cold-hearted, how can you just stand by and watch others die? Listen to those desperate pleas from outside."

Miao Li cursed, "Are you out of your mind? Are you really a saint? You yourself are not capable of ensuring there are no consequences when you save someone, and yet you just prattle on here. That day when the zombies surrounded our building, what the hell were you doing? You just covered your head, crying, too scared to be of any help, and now when there’s no danger, you start pointing fingers and acting all righteous? Can’t you take some responsibility for our team?"

He truly wanted to kick Cao Yan right out.

Cao Yan retorted, "What do you mean by that? You are too cold-hearted. Even if we were deceived, so what? We have so many people here."

Miao Li scoffed, "You’ve made such a fool of yourself raising dogs."

"How can you insult me like that? I’ve been recognized by the Huangshi Animal Protection Association. I raise dogs because I don’t want them wandering everywhere. You are just heartless," Cao Yan said disdainfully to Miao Li.

Not wanting to continue this exasperating conversation, Miao Li listened to the silence outside. He asked others to keep an eye on this woman, then hurriedly ran to the rooftop and hid in a corner to peek.

He saw the two survivors hadn’t run back to their car but instead ran toward the river and jumped into the water with a splash, followed by the zombies that had caught up with them.

"Are they really just ordinary survivors?"

Miao Li observed, knowing that any sympathy in this apocalypse could potentially lead to destruction for their group. It wasn’t that he was heartless, but sometimes it was simply too hard to see through people.

He knew the two survivors would survive.

Zombies can’t swim and, without any reason, they would just keep jumping into the water and eventually sink to the bottom.

As he watched their faces, their panic and helplessness didn’t seem feigned.

After a long while,

there was no sign of the survivors who had jumped into the river.

Miao Li waved at them.

A-Hai and his girlfriend, already in despair, saw the person on the balcony waving and exchanged looks of relief. They swam to the shore, approaching cautiously, then headed towards the main gate.

Cao Yan, with her arms crossed, watched the two survivors come in, "Ha, it wasn’t me who let these people in. Hey, let me tell you, I was the one who wanted to let you in. It was him who said you were suspicious and didn’t want to let you in. If anyone is to blame, blame him," she said.

The people around listened to Cao Yan’s words, their brows furrowed in annoyance. This woman was really irritating.

A-Hai looked at Cao Yan then at Miao Li, "I understand, the apocalypse is dangerous outside, and there are many with malicious intentions; nobody knows who’s good or bad. It’s normal to think this way."

Cao Yan scoffed and walked away, unwilling to talk further. To think they understood after she had kindly reminded them, men are really despicable.

"Who are you guys?" Miao Li asked.

"My name is A-Hai and this is my girlfriend. We came from the shopping mall in Fuqian. It was very dangerous there, and my girlfriend and I had no choice but to escape in the car, but who could’ve expected that when we got here, the car broke down and we had to run for it. Seeing your place with the windows all secured, I thought there must be people here, so I came knocking," A-Hai explained.

Miao Li nodded, thinking about the situation just now. They hadn’t run towards the car, indicating it really had broken down, which wasn’t deliberate. This was a trustworthy story.

Miao Li asked, "So what were you planning to do next?"

Out of breath, A-Hai replied, "Find someone."

"Find someone?"

"Yes, find someone. We need to find that man with the sword. As long as we find him, we’ll be safe," A-Hai would never forget that day’s image.

To him, it was like a divine scene.

A man with a sword, fighting his way through a horde of zombies, looking godlike; no zombie could come close to him without being cut into two...

"The man with the sword?"

Miao Li murmured to himself.

Suddenly, everyone looked at one another.

"That day we seemed to have seen him," they recalled.

A-Hai’s spirits lifted immediately, "You encountered him? Do you know where he is?"

Miao Li, looking at A-Hai asked, "Could you tell me what exactly is the deal with this man with the sword?"

A-Hai remembered, slowly saying, "In my eyes, he might just be a god. I can never forget everything that happened that day. My girlfriend and I were hiding on an upper floor of the shopping mall when suddenly, we heard the hoarse roars of a large group of zombies, numerous and uncountable. I saw him with a sword, charging into the zombie crowd, like a god, no zombie could come close to him; those that did were split into halves..."
