Chapter 1-Zombies?!

 "Where am I?"

Jonathan groggily woke up from his sleep.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his mind was in chaos.

This was a rather luxurious bedroom.

Purple and gold wallpaper adorned the walls.

The floor was made of thick, ancient-style solid wood.

On the mahogany nightstand, there was a luxurious bedside lamp and a bronze-crafted clock.

A Rolex watch gleamed with a brilliant golden shine.

Everything in this room displayed the owner's wealth.

"What on earth is going on? How did I suddenly end up here? Where is this place?"

Jonathan struck his already aching head a few times, and a string of questions came out of his mouth, but no one answered. The surroundings were silent, not a single sound.

These questions weren't answered until Jonathan looked at the clock on the nightstand and suddenly snapped awake!

"1995!"

Jonathan jerked up in bed, staring in shock at the clock next to him. It displayed several English letters and a date:

1995-8-30-7:30

"Could the clock be broken?"

Jonathan picked up the heavy clock, looked it over carefully, and then pulled the cord of the bedside lamp.

However, the luxurious, ancient bedside lamp didn't emit any light.

"No power?"

Jonathan tried the switch on the other side, confirmed there was no power, and then stood up, walking to the window to pull open the curtains.

In the next moment, Jonathan's pupils contracted rapidly, almost causing him to fall to the ground in shock!

"No! What… What is this?"

Jonathan shakily propped himself up, staring at the people aimlessly wandering on the road not far from the window, completely stunned!

These "people" were either missing an arm, half their body, or had no legs at all, crawling on the ground.

In short, almost every one of them was severely mutilated.

"Zombies?!"

Jonathan swallowed hard, forcing himself to stay calm, and carefully observed the walking dead outside the window.

Upon closer inspection, he could see the face of a woman nearest to him, who was missing half of her neck and was peering over the railing.

It was a disgusting and numb face.

Rotting flesh, dull gray eyes, sharp teeth covered in repulsive slime, all exposed outside her collapsed, massive mouth.

The only physical features that remained, along with her tall and curvaceous body, indicated that this woman was of Caucasian descent.

Jonathan took a deep breath, then turned back to glance at the clock, which now read 1995-8-30-7:35.

This time, he was certain.

"I've time-traveled... and not only that, I've traveled to an apocalyptic world!" At this moment, Jonathan felt a sense of confusion so intense he almost wanted to cry.

Zombies weren't unfamiliar to someone living in the 21st century.

A plethora of zombie movies and post-apocalyptic novels quickly made Jonathan aware of his situation.

After a long while, Jonathan finally snapped out of his confusion and horror. His strong mental resilience allowed him to quickly accept the reality before him.

Since he had come to the apocalypse, then he would find a way to live through it.

At least, now he had the large house and decent life he had always dreamed of in his past life.

Jonathan gazed at the lavish furnishings in the bedroom and the Rolex watch on the nightstand, feeling a bit sentimental.

Even if things were bad, they could never be worse than his previous life, living in a cramped cage of a house, suffocated by mortgage and car loans, too terrified to even ask a woman out.

At least now, he had no burdens, and he could live freely without restraint.

Worst case scenario, he'd be eaten by zombies!

In the past, when faced with dissatisfaction, he had to endure and swallow his anger, even though he had strength, he couldn't dare to harm anyone.

Now, the zombies filling the streets were nothing more than prey for him to slaughter at will!

If he could adapt to life in the apocalypse and find a way to survive...

Jonathan couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Maybe, as a 30-year-old leftover man, I can find a woman here... or even more than one!"

In the apocalypse, there were no rules, no morals. The strong ruled, and those with power and resources were the kings of the world!

The women who could demand outrageous prices in prosperous times, humiliate and disdain men at will, might now be nothing more than a man's subordinate or a resource in this new world!

A man could control a woman's fate at will!

Naturally, he could also easily get his hands on the once unattainable goddess!

Pulling his thoughts back from his fantasies, Jonathan began considering the next priority.

"Right now, the most important thing is to see how much food and water are left in this house, and to figure out where I am! It would be best to find some weapons for self-defense."

Jonathan pulled a wooden hanger from the closet, muttering to himself as he cautiously opened the bedroom door, peeking outside. After confirming there was no danger, he finally stepped out of the room.

This was a standard American-style house, just two stories high.

Downstairs from the second floor was the living room, and to the left of the living room was the kitchen.

Jonathan gripped the wooden stick tightly, sneaking through the living room and into the kitchen.

The kitchen looked a bit messy.

However, the first thing Jonathan noticed was a huge refrigerator.

"Damn!" As soon as he opened the fridge, Jonathan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Not only was the fridge stocked with plenty of food, but there were also many drinks and bottles of alcohol.

It seemed that the previous owner of the villa was a shut-in, just like him.

The food and drinks would be enough to keep him going for some time!

"Bang!"

"Ah!!!"

"Fucking hell! You damn bitches! Go die!!!"

At that moment, a loud crash suddenly came from outside the house, followed by a woman's scream and a man's curse. From the sound of it, it seemed to be coming from somewhere close by!

Hearing the sound of living people made Jonathan's heart race with excitement!
