Lila jolted awake, the events of last night came rushing at her like a tide. She remembered going to her house and not finding Mimi.

She remembered the fear, the worry and then the uncertainty she'd felt. But most importantly she remembered Victor.

She jumped off the bed and went straight to the bathroom, she was sure she fell asleep in there last night.

Yet, she woke up on the bed with no Adrian and no Victor. She had searched the room but couldn't find them anywhere.

    The duo charged into the midst of zombies again smashing and stabbing until there was only a pile of zombies bodies around them.The man fell to his knees in exhaustion. Lila knelt beside him. This was the scene that Victor and the others saw when they came up.Adrian didn't have much reaction, he always knew that Victor wouldn't be the last.As for Victor, he was boiling. Did she leave them and run off because of a man?Hearing their footsteps, Lila and the young man raised their heads in that direction. Lila gave them an apologetic look, they must have been worried when she ran off like that. And Victor…Seeing Victor glaring at him and gritting his teeth. The young man smirked provocatively and fell into Lila's arms with his eyes closed.Lila panicked, with all the sticky blood on him, it was hard to tell whether he was injured or not. She tried calling him but she didn't know his name.“Is he okay?”“He's fine” Mimi replied with uncertainty.“What's with that tone?”“Before we ca

    Lila's eyes scanned the sorrounding but didn't see anyone. Could it be that zombie? Her hand tightened around the phone she was playing games with.Adrian who had his arms around her, noticed her strange behavior. “What's the matter?”Lila was too lost in thought to hear him. “Who's here?” she asked Mimi, voice filled with caution.“One of your men” Mimi said with uncertainty.“Damn it Mimi, can you talk at once?”Lila rolled her eyes. “But how can you tell from this distance”“That's what I find strange, the connection is so strong”Lila's brow furrowed, “Stop the car” The car stopped and everyone was looking at her worriedly, she hadn't even heard Adrian speaking to her earlier.She looked around and noticed that they've long passed the hospital, so she ordered, “ To the hospital”Victor's eyes was filled with affection as he looked at her. Was she thinking about this just now? Did she want to try and save Elliott's mother?Noticing his gaze, Lila coughed awkwardly. She wondered wha

    At this point, the water had already turned dark red. The wounds were now clear, not looking black anymore.Lila still marveled at the power of the fountain water. Doesn't this mean that as long as anyone gets bitten around her, they could be saved.Thankfully the water can never dry up. Lila walked out of the bathroom to see her team pacing outside the door. Elliott and his group were no where to be found.She caught Victor's unfathomable gaze first, Adrian's curious ones, then the guards worried ones. Xiao Tian was asked to stay in the room.“He should be fine now” she said.They all breathed a sigh of relief. “Are you okay?” Adrian asked. He didn't know how Lila saved him, but he hoped she didn't exhaust herself to do so.“I'm fine” Lila replied. She turned to Gu Yu “get him out of the tub.”He nodded respectfully and went in with Lao Hu. After they placed him on the bed, Lila added,“Keep an eye on him,” Although the impurities have been cleared, she didn't know if any have gone

    Everyone stilled. The hands on the plates paused, their eyes drawn to the front door where the sound came from.The villa gates were locked so no one really thought that it could be zombies.Could it be the stepmother?They all stood up and headed for the door. It wasn't anything they thought. "Xiao Bai" the guards echoed.They had all forgotten about him! Last night Lila had ordered that from now on they had to kill ten zombies every morning.The others had woken up earlier and decided to go and kill their own share first. Who knew that that decision would cost them Xiao Bai's life.In front of them, laid a man with bite marks on his arm and scratches on his legs. As if he had been dragged by the leg.His clothes were stained red, there was hardly any clean spot on the clothes. The Xiao Bai right now looked so different from the sunny and playful Xiao Bai that they all knew."Ahhhh" Elliott, the stepbrother screamed. "Throw him out." Although he hadn't been outside since the apocaly

    Lila swatted the core off Victor's palm and held his shoulder, shaking him slightly. "Open your eyes"Once he did, she breathed a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling?""I'm okay" he shook his head "just now it felt like the core was draining my energy instead"Lila frowned, she had never heard of a zombie core draining energy from humans.Except..."Mimi" she called.A yawn came before the response. "Dumb woman, Why are you disturbing my sleep?""Why do you sleep all the time?" Lila rolled her eyes "take a look at this core, what do you think?"Lila had a guess already, but she didn't want to believe it. "This core has two colours..." Mimi jumped. "A zombie with dual ability?"Yes, a zombie with dual ability. Isn't that terrifying? Never had she heard of a zombie with dual ability. And it wasn't even a month into the apocalypse yet.She could only thank her stars that she killed the zombie early, otherwise who knows what havoc it would cause later on."So a dual ability zombie core

    They were already in City J, instead of taking a break now they might as well head straight to the stepmother's place.The car moved steadily and came to a stop in a large villa area. The entrance was blocked with a lot of cars, probably by people who tried to flee when the apocalypse hit.In Lila's eyes, these cars were all treasures. She didn't hesitate to pack them up just like she did every car on the way.One had to know that people would start fighting for these things soon, also once there are space ability users packing and storing up things too, there wouldn't be any left for her.Soon they arrived in front of a large villa. They didn't encounter much zombies on the way, after all the entrance was blocked with cars and zombies couldn't get in.The villa's iron gates were wide open. The moment the car stopped, the main door was slightly opened from the inside. A head popped out trying to see who was in the car.Once Lila and her group got out, they heard an excited scream. “It
