6: An Qian likes to eat cucumbers

“I know. Before they turned into zombies, our relationship wasn't that great anyway. Just let me put them out of their misery.”

An Qian swung her sword and charged at the three female zombies.

Soon, she cleanly and decisively cut off their heads.

Oh, women!

Qin Shilei shook his head and followed her.

“An Qian, is that you?” A female voice suddenly came from the fourth dormitory.

“It’s me, Guan Shiman, are you alright?” An Qian came to the front of the fourth dormitory, trying to twist open the door, but paused and held her sword ready.

“An Qian, are there still zombies outside?”

“They’ve all been killed, open the door.”

With a creak, the door opened a small crack, and a Cuntou appeared in the gap.

An Qian was so startled she almost cleaved him with her sword.

“An Qian, this is my boyfriend.”

Behind her, Guan Shiman also saw An Qian through the crack and quickly explained.

Qin Shilei followed An Qian into the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, he felt a strange smell.

Looking up, the male was bare-chested, wearing only a pair of shorts.

And Guan Shiman was also somewhat disheveled.

No way?

Could it be that zombie roars made for a more passionate accompaniment?

Or did they want to have a good time before dying?

“You guys chat, I’ll go out for some fresh air.”

Unable to stand the smell, Qin Shilei said so and retreated to the corridor.

“You guys be careful, I’m leaving first.”

Soon, An Qian also held her breath and walked out.

Then, the two of them found some snacks like potato chips and chocolate in several open dormitories, distributed them, and put them into their respective spatial rings.

They also found a few bottles of drinks. Unfortunately, they had all been opened and drunk from.

There were also a few fresh cucumbers.

“What are you going to do with these cucumbers?” Qin Shilei asked with some hidden meaning.

“Of course, to eat them. You wouldn’t think I’d still use these for face masks now, would you?”

An Qian rolled her eyes at Qin Shilei and explained, “I love eating raw cucumbers. Now that there are zombies everywhere, it’s probably hard to get cucumbers again.”

“As long as you like them, I just worry they might not be very clean.” Qin Shilei shoved all the cucumbers into An Qian’s hands.

“They washed them clean to prepare for face masks, how could they not be clean…”

The more An Qian spoke, the more she felt something was off, and her nose seemed to smell a strange odor again.

She hastily threw all the cucumbers to the ground, “I don’t want them either.”

“Hehe.”

Qin Shilei smiled and walked towards the third floor.

It took them over an hour, but Qin Shilei and An Qian cleared out all the freely moving zombies on the second and third floors.

The dormitory on the far right of the second floor was still relatively clean.

They chose to absorb crystals there.

They harvested 10 crystals from the fourth floor, 14 from the third floor, and even more from the second floor, reaching 19 crystals.

Each person received 21 crystals, with one extra kept aside for now.

Soon, Qin Shilei finished absorbing four crystals.

A flash of white light indicated he had leveled up.

His fatigue was swept away, and his whole body felt a few points stronger.

Looking at his attributes, the experience needed to level up to level two became 15.

About twenty minutes later, all the remaining crystals were fully absorbed.

Both of them reached Black Iron Two Star.

The white crystals contributed eight experience points to Qin Shilei.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Qin Shilei felt he had at least reached the physical fitness of those athletes.

He was no longer a frail homebody.

Coupled with Sword Mastery, Qin Shilei felt he could easily handle seven or eight ordinary zombies.

Even the Evolved zombie, he and An Qian should be able to kill it together.

“Let’s go to the convenience store now.”

An Qian licked her dry lips, eager to go to the convenience store to find a bottle of water.

Qin Shilei came to the corridor, pointed at the zombies outside, and said, “There are thirty or forty zombies below. Once we’re surrounded, it’s inevitable we’ll get injured, and then we might turn into zombies. We need to think of a good plan.”

Their building was nearly ten meters from the convenience store building, and thirty or forty zombies were roaming around there.

Once a fight here made a sound, hundreds of zombies further away would also be attracted.

At that point, death would be certain.

“Can’t we throw things far away to make noise and lure the zombies away?”

An Qian suggested.

Qin Shilei juggled the glass bottle in his hand and shook his head, “I can only throw it twenty or thirty meters, which isn’t very useful.”

He paused and then said, “Let’s still lure the zombies over one by one and kill them.”

The two came to the stairwell and threw a plastic bottle to the first floor.

As soon as the light sound rang out.

Four zombies a few meters away immediately turned around and rushed towards the stairwell.

Qin Shilei tapped his sword on the stair railing.

The four zombies immediately scrambled to climb up to the second floor.

Accompanied by two flashes of cold light appearing simultaneously, two headless zombies rolled down the stairs.

The other two zombies behind them stumbled and almost fell.

Qin Shilei and An Qian both stepped down at the same time, swinging their swords in a diagonal slash, cutting off half the heads of the other two zombies.

These ordinary zombies, without the advantage of numbers, no longer posed any threat to Qin Shilei and An Qian.

After extracting the crystals, Qin Shilei threw a cosmetic bottle not far from the stairwell.

The zombies further away heard the sound and gathered towards them again.

After getting closer and smelling living humans, they rushed towards the stairs again.

In this manner, half an hour later.

Over twenty nearby zombies had all been lured over and killed by Qin Shilei and An Qian.

“Those two groups of zombies are too close; the luring method might not work well.”

An Qian pointed at the few zombies near the convenience store, frowning.

Two or three meters to the left of the convenience store entrance, seven or eight zombies were gnawing on a corpse on the ground.

Three or four meters further, another six or seven zombies were tearing at a corpse.

If they made a sound, these more than ten zombies might all be attracted at once.

Suddenly, a crack opened in the opposite building’s dormitory supervisor’s room, and a male poked his head out, looking around.

“Ah, why is it him?”

An Qian exclaimed in surprise.

The male seemed to have seen An Qian too, and waved vigorously towards them.

He then glanced at the zombies on the left, hesitated for a moment, but still slowly stuck out half of his body.

Seeing that the zombies hadn’t noticed him, he tiptoed out.

He hunched over and rushed towards them.

“Oh no!”

Qin Shilei clearly saw the pile of zombies on the left of the convenience store stop gnawing on the corpse.

They must have smelled him or heard the male’s footsteps.

Indeed, before the male had even run halfway, those seven or eight zombies turned and looked towards him.

“Ho ho!”

Not only did those zombies chase after him, but they also made sounds, attracting the other pile of zombies as well.

“Let’s go upstairs first.”

Qin Shilei grabbed An Qian and ran upstairs.

“An Qian, it’s good you’re alright.”

The male exclaimed in surprise, his face full of joy.

“Run!”

An Qian only had time to give a warning before running quickly upstairs.
