Chapter 1: I Was Bitten by a Zombie!
I was bitten by a zombie.
My head is getting more and more dizzy.
My mind feels heavy and foggy.
My body is burning up.
I guess my life is coming to an end.
I'm probably going to turn into a zombie.
Well, that's better than being eaten by one.
Zhang Cheng woke up again.
How long had he been asleep?
Zhang Cheng didn't know how much time had passed.
His cell phone in his pocket was long out of battery.
And more than ten days after the zombie crisis erupted, the whole city lost power.
Ugh...ugh...ugh...
There were still zombie roars in the hallway.
It must be the security zombie that bit him.
"Wait, why is my consciousness still here?"
Zhang Cheng noticed something was wrong and looked down at his right hand.
His right arm was indeed bitten.
And at the site of the bite, there were clear teeth marks, but they had already scabbed over.
But why didn't he turn into a zombie after being bitten?
Could it be like the protagonist in a sci-fi wasteland novel, he acquired some special ability?
As a homebody, he spent every day watching series, dramas, and reading novels.
Maybe he gained some magical powers, or a system?
A few minutes later.
Zhang Cheng could be sure that he hadn't gained any strength, couldn't breathe fire, and didn't have a system.
The only certain thing was, he was still human, at least he...
Gurgle~~~
He felt very hungry.
Zhang Cheng didn't go to rummage through the refrigerator in thehouse.
Because there was no food left in the house.
He ventured out because he had run out of food at home.
Now, Zhang Cheng was faced with two choices.
One was to leave the house and fight the zombies outside.
If he could win, he might have a chance to survive.
Or he could continue to stay in the room until he starved to death.
There was nothing to hesitate about.
Before being bitten, he had already hesitated for a long time.
So, after being bitten once, Zhang Cheng directly grabbed his kitchen knife and opened the door.
Clang.
The sound of the iron door opening echoed in the corridor.
The security zombie in the corridor seemed to hear the sound and turned its head towards Zhang Cheng.
Their eyes met, recognizing each other in an instant.
It felt like the breath stopped.
However, unlike last time.
The security zombie just glanced at Zhang Cheng and then turned away, as if Zhang Cheng didn't exist.
What's going on?
Doesn't the zombie bite him anymore?
Zhang Cheng remembered that last time he had just opened thedoor and hadn't walked two steps when the security zombie found him. It pounced on him like a mad dog and bit his arm.
But now...
The situation was really abnormal.
Zhang Cheng didn't move but just stared at the zombie.
The zombie kept wandering around, ignoring Zhang Cheng.
Is it really not biting me anymore?
Zhang Cheng felt a little more confident and walked towards the stairs.
As he approached the zombie, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
His heart felt like it was about to jump out.
However, the zombie just glanced at him and continued wandering.
He walked past the zombie, entered the stairs, and went down.
Ugh...ugh...ugh...
Hehe...hehe...
There were six zombies in the stairwell!
Five of them were gnawing on a corpse on the ground.
And one half-zombie was lying at the entrance of the corridor, swinging its only remaining hand as if trying to climb up to join the feastin the stairwell.
These zombies were all neighbors in Zhang Cheng's community.
Their bodies were covered in blood, some faces gnawed beyond recognition, some missing hands.
After hearing Zhang Cheng's footsteps, the six zombies all looked up momentarily.
Then, they continued gnawing on the flesh and waving their hands, completely disregarding Zhang Cheng.
As if he was one of their own kind.
Although he didn't understand the reason, Zhang Cheng still held the kitchen knife and boldly continued downward.
After stepping over the last zombie,
Zhang Cheng was certain: these zombies really wouldn't bite him.
