You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

(Sorry, haha, hundreds of words written for nothing, as they couldn't be sent out)

This was destined to be a drawn-out battle.

The roles of hunter and prey kept switching between them.

The entire villa had become their battlefield, with sofas, chairs, and even coffee tables bearing the marks of their combat.

When calm returned to the living room once again, the air was filled with a strange scent.

It was like some liquid mixed with sweat.

Zhang Ye looked down at the woman lying in his arms, his hand gently caressing her back a few times as he teased with a laugh,

"I've finally understood."

"You didn't want to play games today, did you? You wanted to play with me, right?"

Luo Xin, who had been squinting her eyes, savoring the comfortable moments after the battle, suddenly became embarrassed and indignant at those words.

She raised her fist and punched the man in the stomach.

"What are you talking about!"

"I was forced, okay!"

"And don't think I don't know, you've been harboring improper thoughts about this beauty for a long time, right!"

Zhang Ye quickly held his stomach in pain.

But in his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashed.

Anyone would have crooked thoughts if such a hot-bodied woman swayed in front of them every day.

Especially since she was one of the only three women who interacted with him day and night.

Should he refrain and leave her for someone else?

Stupid?

————

"Huff, huff, huff."

The man was panting heavily.

The dry air was so painful, it felt like blades scraping against his lungs with each breath.

His body was almost entirely pressed against the wall, and opposite him, three other people were doing the same.

The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely tense.

Terror filled their eyes.

Thud, thud.

The ground seemed to tremble.

Heavy footsteps soon started outside.

Through the wall's display window, the silhouette of the monster outside was clearly visible, massive like a giant from mythology.

The four couldn't help but suppress their breathing, fearing they would attract its attention.

Yet the footsteps stopped right by their ears.

Screek... screek...

That was the sound of the monster rubbing against the wall.

Its skin looked almost transparent but was extraordinarily tough.

Gray-white arms suddenly broke through the display window, and amidst the crashing sound of breaking glass, a hand fiercely grasped the head of the person directly below!

"Ahhhh!"

The man who was caught didn't even have the chance to cry for help before he was dragged out through the window by that arm.

The remaining three, upon seeing this, ran without hesitation.

A rescue attempt?

That would be a joke.

The Type-T Variant had already acquired a new name among these survivors.

Titan.

Bulky body, immense strength.

At most, they could only scratch its back with the knives in their hands.

"Shit!"

"Damn it!"

"How could there be a Titan here!"

As they ran towards the back door, they cursed inwardly.

The safe zone was right ahead.

Normally, company personnel would come out to clear the area every day, so a variant zombie shouldn't suddenly appear like this.

But now it was too late to think about that.

The Titan behind them was catching up fast.

Boom!

The wall collapsed in an instant!

A towering figure appeared amidst the dust!

"Roar!!"

It charged like a tank barreling through everything in its path, rapidly approaching the alley behind them and nearly causing the three of them to collapse in terror.

"What are you standing around for, run!"

"Head for the safe zone!"

"Hurry up!"

The lead man slapped the backs of their heads and ran off.

By the time the other two reacted, they saw he was almost out of the alley.

"Wait for us, Brother Lin!"

Seeing this, they immediately sprinted after him.

Seconds later, the Type-T zombie that had been following them also burst out of the alley.

It seemed to have set its sights on the three as tonight's dinner, having already knocked over two cars by the roadside, with no sign of giving up.

By now, Old Lin, who was running at the front, had seen the electrified fence outside the safe zone.

But there were no company security guards to be seen nearby.

Which meant the entrance wasn't here.

It was in another direction.

Turn back?

It was probably too late.

The Titan might appear clumsy, but its sprint was incredibly fast.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

And it excelled at moving in straight lines.

Anything that stood in its way would be flipped over and flattened.

The increasingly urgent footsteps, like the beat of a drum, were drawing closer.

In another half-minute—

No, perhaps only in a matter of seconds, it would crush the three like ants.

Yet the iron fence in front of them was still flickering with blue sparks.

A light touch, and the high-voltage electricity would claim their lives in an instant.

"Lin, Brother Lin?"

"No way, there's no way out?"

"Where's the entrance, the entrance to get in?"

The less than twenty-meter-long electric fence instantly became the dividing line between life and death for the three of them.

This was originally a street.

And on both sides were buildings four or five stories high, their entrances already sealed off.

The entire safe zone was hewn out of the city area by countless such blocked streets.

Someone had already started crying.

Old Lin, listening, grew even more irritable, but his gaze fell on the electric fence again.

If they couldn't get across, what then?

Should they turn around and make a desperate stand against the Titan?

That would be no different from courting death; they might as well crash into the electric fence and end themselves.

Wait, crash into the fence?

An idea suddenly seemed to strike him.

By now the heavy sounds behind them had rapidly approached.

The other two had lost all hope.

Even so, they were ready to run to the other side of the street.

Maybe there was an entrance there?

But just as the two were about to flee again, a hand suddenly grabbed them.

"Lin, Brother Lin?"

"Old Lin, have you gone mad? Let go!"

The two panicked on the spot, trying to break free immediately.

But Old Lin, holding them, remained silent.

He just stared ahead, fixated.

The relentless Titan was now less than twenty meters from the three.

The distance was closing rapidly!

Ten meters!

"Let go!"

"Come on, let go, Lin!"

Five meters!

The three seemed to already smell the stench exhaled by the Titan's mouth.

At that moment, the hand holding the two released its grip!

And Old Lin's body swiftly threw itself to the side!

Crash!

The Titan's massive body smashed straight through the electric fence, flying several meters beyond!

The immense force tore the wire fence apart, which then tightly wrapped around it!

Sizzle—

The sound of electricity surged suddenly.

A strong burnt scent alerted the three, still sprawled on the ground, to come back to their senses.

The two got up ready to run, but after a few steps, they realized Old Lin hadn't followed.

Looking back, they saw him cautiously approaching the immobilized Titan, his expression oddly excited.

Had it worked?

Were the rumors true?

The zombies from the factories and bases, is this how they were captured?

But no matter how much Old Lin tried, the Titan on the ground just wouldn't move.

He quickly realized something.

Controlling zombies wasn't as simple as he had thought.

It wasn't something he could just do as well.

Only the company people knew this secret.

So now the question was, what should they do with the Titan lying there before them?
