Chapter 27: Little Lu, Is That You? (1)
She thumped her chest and wailed like someone in mourning, her voice so loud that Lu Weiyi heard a zombie upstairs “heh heh” and bang on the door.
Although they said they would drive people out if they didn’t cooperate, the man who was clearly in charge of this household had already turned into a zombie. The remaining three might not even survive. Liu Jie looked at the man behind him. “Brother Li? What do you think…”
Brother Li glanced at Lu Weiyi beside him. Lu Weiyi looked up at the ceiling, pretending not to understand his meaning. He smiled at the old lady, looking very easygoing. “Last time I’ll ask, are you going to let us kill him?”
“No!” The old lady replied without hesitation.
“Then lock the stairwell.” This was equivalent to letting them fend for themselves.
Liu Jie nodded and wrote a few more sentences in his notebook, not clearly visible what he wrote.
Lu Weiyi looked at the man with some regret—the bead core in his brain—then turned and followed Brother Li away.
As expected, there was indeed a zombie upstairs.
As soon as the group reached the door, the banging from inside became even more violent. The security door trembled faintly from the pounding. Lu Weiyi was waiting to see Brother Li’s legendary door-kicking technique, but he saw Liu Jie take out a key, directly insert it, twist it, and then violently push the door open, quickly dodging to the side.
The zombie inside had bite wounds on its face and neck, its clothes were neatly worn, and a trail of dried blood flowed from below its neck, pooling on the floor. It was pushed back a step by Liu Jie’s force, then rushed over ferociously, only to have its head directly smashed by Brother Li’s club.
It really exploded, like a watermelon being directly smashed. Bone fragments, brain matter, and blood scattered everywhere, cracking into pieces.
Lu Weiyi hadn’t seen such a crude and direct method in a long time. He froze for a moment, feeling nauseous to the point of almost vomiting. On the other hand, the others should have already been used to it. Besides quickly covering their faces, they had no other reaction.
Just as this one was finished, a woman rushed out of the bedroom. Apart from the blood on her mouth, she had no other injuries. She should have been the initial infected person. A moving bead core appeared in Lu Weiyi’s eyes. Without waiting for Brother Li to signal him, he directly bypassed the others and killed the woman with one knife strike.
A clean and swift strike, half of her skull fell off in response. Amidst gasps, Brother Li raised an eyebrow and nodded approvingly. Liu Jie on the side praised, “Little Lu, your skill is really…” He gave a thumbs up.
Lu Weiyi smiled, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across his wrist.
Just now, as the zombie’s head was cut open, Lu Weiyi clearly saw the green plant on his wrist, which had been still all along, extend a fine, cotton-like thread, quickly coiling back the bead core that was about to roll away.
At this moment, the bead core he had been longing for was right there on his wrist. He tried his best to pull his sleeve down further, pretending to look around and observe the others.
