Chapter 1: The Ex-Boyfriend Turned Zombie Came Knocking
Wuwuwu...
Urgent help needed online!!!
What should I do if my ex-boyfriend has turned into a zombie and come to my door?
Qiqi hid under her blanket, tears streaming down her pale face, her fingers trembling as she typed on her phone screen.
As soon as the post was published, the number of comments skyrocketed, indicating that many people were surfing the internet while trapped at home due to the apocalypse.
Just a week ago, there was a heavy rain. At that time, people hadn''t realized the danger was coming and continued with their daily routines of work and school.
After the rain stopped, people thought it was finally good weather. However, unexpectedly, everyone who got caught in the rain suddenly developed a high fever, and hospitals were overwhelmed.
The World Health Organization then issued a statement saying the rain was a rare acid rain containing a special substance, which was the culprit behind the fever, and reassured citizens not to panic, promising a quick resolution.
But shortly after the statement, those who had been caught in the acid rain and developed a fever suddenly went berserk, biting anyone they saw.
With stiff limbs, ashen faces, growling mouths, and cloudy eyes, they were exactly like the zombies in movies.
Anyone bitten by them also turned into the same kind of monster, with the infection spreading rapidly.
The World Health Organization urgently issued another statement, saying that those caught in the acid rain had developed a dangerous virus with high infectivity, advising citizens to stay home and wait for rescue.
Everything happened so suddenly, catching humanity off guard. Now the whole world was in chaos, with zombies everywhere, and bodies and severed limbs scattered all around.
Qiqi had avoided this disaster because she had stayed home due to a swollen face from wisdom tooth extraction, sparing her from the rain.
Otherwise, someone as useless as her, neither young nor old, would have surely died in the first wave.
But now, she was close to death.
Huddled under her blanket, trembling and crying, Qiqi held her overheated phone, scrolling through comments from netizens, hoping to find a solution.
The comments ranged from hostile to gloating, to genuinely helpful suggestions.
"Hurry and block the door with tables or cabinets, don''t let him in."
Qiqi''s trembling hands made several typos before she finally managed to send a message.
"He already entered using the password, what should I do now?"
"OP, sympathizing with you for a second. Did you do something to wrong your ex-boyfriend, so much so that even as a zombie, he came to seek revenge?"
"An ex-boyfriend, and a zombie at that. I bet OP will be skinned and eaten with nothing left. I''ll bet a dime on it."
"Damn! If my ex-boyfriend turned into a zombie and came to my door, I''d rather kill myself than be eaten. It''s too terrifying."
"OP, maybe you should let him turn you into a zombie too, then you can be a zombie couple, which wouldn''t be a bad story."
"I agree with the above. Being a mindless zombie is better than living in constant fear."
"I''m facing the same situation. My mom turned into a zombie and keeps banging on my door. What should I do? I''m so scared."
"OP, I''m not far from you. Your profile picture is just my type. If you agree to be my girlfriend, I''ll come to save you."
"OP, don''t be a saint at this time. You must act decisively. The zombie''s weak point is the head. Go to the kitchen, grab a knife, and chop at your ex-boyfriend''s head to ensure he''s dead."
The comments were varied and kept increasing. Qiqi paused when she saw one particular comment.
"Am I the only one with a different perspective? Aren''t zombies supposed to be mindless? How did the ex-boyfriend, now a zombie, find his way to your door and even enter using the password? Does he still have consciousness?"
Qiqi''s pupils contracted upon seeing this comment. Right, she was too panicked earlier to think about it. If Bo Lijue had turned into a zombie, he shouldn''t have any consciousness. How could he find her, especially when she had hidden far away?
Could it be that high-IQ individuals become high-IQ zombies, or did she just imagine it, and Bo Lijue hadn''t turned into a zombie?
Huddled under her blanket, Qiqi was now uncertain, pressing her ear against the blanket to listen for any sounds outside.
Only then did she realize how eerily quiet it was outside, with not a single sound, only her own breathing.
??
Qiqi waited quietly, but there was still no sound.
She took a few deep breaths, mentally preparing herself, and slowly lifted a corner of the blanket to peek outside, despite her fear.
Nothing?
No shadows, just silence.
Qiqi was so relieved that she threw off the blanket and sprang up, full of energy.
"Haha, I knew it! Bo Lijue doesn''t even know where I live, how could he possibly find me? And how could someone like him, a favored son of heaven, turn into a zombie? I must have been dreaming..."
But as Qiqi''s gaze swept to the back, her smile froze, and her blood ran cold as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
Bo Lijue''s tall figure was sitting on the sofa, exuding a powerful aura of a long-time superior. His handsome face was now eerily pale, and his beautiful obsidian eyes were shrouded in a cold mist.
He was a zombie. Bo Lijue had really turned into a zombie.
Wuwuwu...
Qiqi''s tears of terror flowed again.
Bo Lijue moved, standing up with an imposing presence.
Unlike other zombies, he was spotless, clean, and well-dressed, maintaining his former noble image.
His cold eyes locked onto Qiqi as he walked towards her.
Qiqi began to tremble, overwhelmed by fear, her mind filled with images of zombies eating people, blood and flesh flying, brutal and bloody.
Thinking about being skinned and eaten by Bo Lijue, her tears flowed even more.
Wuwuwu...
Bo Lijue stopped, watching Qiqi''s fearful tears, tilting his head as if puzzled by her crying.
Qiqi watched as Bo Lijue''s hand, adorned with prayer beads, reached out to her. She shrank back in fear, sobbing uncontrollably, "Bo... Bo Lijue, I... I''m sorry, I won''t run away anymore, please... don''t eat me."
Bo Lijue''s expression remained unchanged, his cold hand gripping the back of Qiqi''s neck.
"Ah..."
Qiqi screamed in fright as Bo Lijue pulled her closer.
Qiqi tilted her head slightly, like a kitten caught by the neck, her eyes red and teary, not daring to move, fearing Bo Lijue would twist her head off.
Seeing Bo Lijue slowly lower his head, Qiqi closed her eyes in terror, her body shaking like a sieve, tears of fear streaming down her face.
She was really going to be eaten.
But instead of the expected pain, Bo Lijue gently licked away her tears.
Qiqi''s body jolted, her eyes snapping open to meet Bo Lijue''s cold, misty gaze, and she froze.
She stood there dumbfounded, letting Bo Lijue lick away her tears.
The slickness continued down her face, licking away the tears until it reached her lips, lingering there.
(Red eyes, red nose, so cute, I want to bully her hard.)
Qiqi''s back stiffened, her tear-filled eyes widening.
