Mixed Emotions

As the woman bypassed the zombie, a rancid stench assaulted her nostrils, making her stomach churn. She gagged but swung her kitchen knife regardless.

Recalling Jiao Lizhi's instructions, she aimed for the back of the zombie's head.

Crack!

The knife struck the zombie's skull, and the sound of bone cracking echoed in her ears. However, her strength wasn't enough—though the skull cracked, the brain remained intact.

"Roarr!!!"

The zombie turned and swung its arm at her. Seeing the claws rushing toward her throat, the woman let go of her knife. When she took a step back, she stepped on a stone and lost her footing.

"Growll!"

Sitting on the ground, she watched the zombie pounce on her in horror.

Duagh!

Just when she thought she was about to die, a baseball bat smashed into the knife lodged in the zombie's skull.
