Chapter 14: Bringing the Zombies to Party Together

The next day, Zhang Cheng's muscles were surprisingly less sore, even though he had been intimate with Tang Ying six times the night before. Was it the miraculous effect of Yunnan Baiyao? He wasn't sure. When he flexed his arms, he could feel a firm and tense sensation, a sign of tightened muscles. Although there was no significant bulge, hismuscles felt firmer than before, and he sensed an increase in strength. However, it had only been two days of training, so it might have been an illusion.

After getting dressed, Zhang Cheng stepped out of the bedroom and opened the curtains. It was the third day since the survival team was wiped out, and he suspected that Chen Tianhu was growing impatient watching him eat and drink heartily every day. Zhang Cheng estimated that Chen Tianhu would make his move in the next couple of days. And indeed, today's Chen Tianhu... was oddly dressed, as if ready for a SWAT mission. He wore a leather jacket with his arms thickly wrapped in black tape, carrying nylon rope and a pot.

Chen Tianhu stood on his balcony, pointing at Zhang Cheng with a fierce look, as if threatening him. Zhang Cheng was not afraid and sensed that Chen was about to act. Chen's gesture was a clear warning.

As time ticked by, Chen Tianhu retreated into his room and remained quiet. Zhang Cheng checked the time in the living room. It was 11:55 am. Had Chen finally realized that zombies were least active between 12 pm and 2 pm? Zhang Cheng smirked knowingly.

At noon, Chen Tianhu opened his door. Zombies from upstairs and two from downstairs, hearing the noise, started climbing the stairs. Chen swung his baseball bat, crushing the head of the zombie coming down. Then, with a strong kick, he knocked down the two ascending zombies. The zombies' frightening growls echoed in the corridor, alerting others downstairs.

Zhang Cheng watched from the balcony. Chen had learned from his past experiences and was capable of handling three zombies with ease. However, instead of continuing downward, Chen ran back up to the sixth floor, tying the nylon rope to a window on the corridor.

Tang Ying, now awake, stood next to Zhang Cheng, puzzled by Chen's actions. Zhang Cheng explained, "He's using noise to attract nearby zombies into the building, then he'll descend from the sixth floorusing the rope."

Chen's actions matched Zhang Cheng's predictions. Waiting at the sixth-floor window, Chen started banging on the pot to control the noise level, aiming to lure zombies around building 12. The zombies, hearing the noise, began moving towards the building.

Meanwhile, Zhang Cheng returned to the room and picked up the TV from the living room. "What are you doing?!" Tang Ying asked, baffled. Zhang Cheng smirked, "I'm bringing the zombies to party together." To Tang Ying's shock, Zhang Cheng hurled the TV out of the window, where it shattered on impact, just as Chen Tianhu had landed on the ground.
