Chapter 107 Is This Right? This Doesn’t Seem Right?

Seeing Lin Yun riding Sang Biao back home from upstairs, Song Xizheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness Sister Lin had heard him.

But in the next second, he suddenly remembered that there was something inside his building—something he couldn’t tell whether it was a person or a ghost!

He had been so excited to see Lin Yun that he had completely forgotten about it.

His expression changed, and he quickly shouted, "Something’s wrong! Sister Lin, run! There’s something inside this building! I don’t know if it’s a person or a ghost!"

Lin Yun: "...?"

What was wrong with this guy?

One moment he was telling her to stop, and the next he was telling her to run.

If there really were zombies inside his building, wouldn’t they have been attracted by all his shouting long ago?

Well, his shouting did attract a few zombies from the streets on either side.

Fortunately, they were all level-one zombies and were relatively easy to deal with.

Still, judging from what Song Xizheng had said, Lin Yun suspected he was talking about Wu Yatu.

When Song Xizheng saw that Lin Yun hadn’t left and had even killed the level-one zombies rushing toward them, he belatedly realized something.

The thing inside his building seemed to have already left.

He tentatively opened the door of his shelter and cautiously peeked outside.

He wasn’t sure whether that thing had really left.

But Lin Yun was downstairs now. If it hadn’t left yet, she should be able to help him deal with it, right?

Song Xizheng stepped out of the shelter and carefully made his way downstairs.

He searched every corner and finally noticed traces of someone climbing out through a window on the first floor.

At that moment, he understood.

That thing was gone.

It had wanted to kill him, but it couldn’t stay there forever. Instead, it had climbed out through the window, deliberately leaving behind the impression that it was still inside.

Song Xizheng gritted his teeth.

"That damned thing!"

However, he also knew that it would definitely come back.

He had to hurry and tell Lin Yun what he had discovered.

When he stepped outside the building, he saw Lin Yun sitting on Sang Biao’s back.

"Sister Lin!"

The moment Song Xizheng saw her, he felt as though he were seeing a relative he hadn’t seen in years.

It was incredibly heartwarming.

Lin Yun looked into his eyes again, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

"Why did you call me?"

Upon hearing her question, Song Xizheng immediately launched into a detailed explanation of what had happened.

The longer Lin Yun listened, the stranger her expression became.

Song Xizheng noticed the change in her expression and gradually lowered his voice.

"Sister Lin... what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Yun sighed.

She climbed down from Sang Biao’s back, walked over to Song Xizheng, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"I have good news for you."

"The good news is that if the thing you’re talking about is the same one I know, then it’s definitely not here right now."

"But there’s also some bad news."

"The person you saw is a zombie."

"A zombie king that’s about to reach level five."

Song Xizheng: "...?"

Song Xizheng’s eyes widened.

"Is this right?! This doesn’t seem right!"

So the creature that had been lurking inside his building for so long was actually a zombie?!

Song Xizheng was completely stunned.

Who would have thought that such a handsome man could be a zombie?

And not just any zombie—a zombie king who was about to reach level five!

"I couldn’t tell at all! Not even a little!"

Lin Yun kindly reassured him.

"Don’t worry. It hasn’t returned yet, but it probably will soon."

"I ran into it myself. That zombie is extremely good at pretending to be human."

"If it realizes that you’ve seen it before and might even know its true identity, it will definitely come after you."

Song Xizheng looked utterly dejected.

"Sister Lin, you really know how to make someone feel better."

Lin Yun shrugged and continued.

"I’ve already made contact with the people at the base, and we’ve arranged to meet in two days."

"Do you want to come with me?"

"Oh, right. About that zombie king..."

Lin Yun was also a survivor, so she briefly explained Wu Yatu’s situation to Song Xizheng and warned him to be careful.

"I’d like to go with you," Song Xizheng said helplessly, "but if Wu Yatu comes back and blocks my way again, I won’t be able to get out."

He was so anxious that he grabbed several handfuls of his hair.

After all, that terrifying zombie had been sitting right in front of him!

Lin Yun was helpless as well.

If Wu Yatu really returned and decided to keep watch over the building, Song Xizheng would indeed have a hard time getting out.

However...

It wouldn’t be a bad idea if they could somehow keep Wu Yatu occupied, would it?

"Ahem... well..."

The moment he heard the strange tone in Lin Yun’s voice, Song Xizheng realized what she was thinking.

He stared at her in horror.

"Sister Lin, are you serious? You’re actually planning to use me as bait for the zombie king?!"

"...No. I just want you to keep it occupied. I’m not sending you to your death."

Lin Yun touched her nose guiltily.

Although the plan was a little unethical, it would make things much easier when she met Xu Chi and the others.

Song Xizheng immediately put on a heartbroken expression.

"I never thought you would be this kind of person, Sister Lin!"

"No! I refuse!"

"Unless you give me back the chicken leg you stole and let me pet Sang Biao again. Then I’ll agree!"

Lin Yun stared at him expressionlessly.

"..."

What was this guy trying to do?

Was he trying to take advantage of the situation?

Before she could say anything, Sang Biao, who had been standing nearby, snorted at Song Xizheng.

He clearly disagreed.

No one could touch him.

No one!

Absolutely no one!

Except Lin Yun.

Song Xizheng immediately shrank his neck.

All right.

He understood.

The cat had rejected him.

"...Although Sang Biao refused to let you pet him, I would have given you a chicken leg anyway."

"But, as you know, I already ate the chicken leg."

"So here’s a meal instead."

"Good luck, young man! My ability to leave the shelter safely in two days depends on you!"

Lin Yun took another meal out of her backpack and patted Song Xizheng on the shoulder as though she were entrusting him with an important mission.

Song Xizheng looked down at the lunchbox in his hands.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh my god, vegetables!"

Although the meat was only sausage, there were at least vegetables!

"Okay! I guarantee there won’t be any problems!"

The two soon went their separate ways and returned to their respective shelters.

As soon as Lin Yun returned to her shelter, she heard a noise coming from the window.

The rain outside suddenly intensified.

Lin Yun glanced toward the window before looking away.

Ever since she had arrived in this zombie world, it had been raining almost nonstop, apart from the first two days.

She had already gotten used to it.

So she wasn’t surprised when the rain suddenly became heavier.

Just as the two of them had expected, after Wu Yatu returned to the vicinity of the square, she climbed back through the window and continued keeping watch over the building.

At the same time, she caught the scent of a human in the air.

That human was gone.

However, Wu Yatu had no idea where he had gone.

The rain had become heavier, and the downpour had long since washed away his scent.

But...

The human had returned.

Wu Yatu didn’t care where he had gone before.

She knew that the human must have discovered something.

Just to be safe, she had to find a way to kill him.

She couldn’t allow any unexpected variables to remain.
