Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge-Chapter 44 - Blood Test

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Blood Test

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Blood Test

Outside the refuge, in the Porsche.

Qi Hao let out a piercing screech, “What did you say?! One-on-one coaching training?!”

Xia Li coaching him?

Thinking of Xia Li’s wild and unruly eyes made Qi Hao shiver.

He slammed on the brakes, “I’m not going! I refuse!”

Xia Li picked up her machete again, “If you don’t go, I’ll chop you to death!”

On the phone, Ji Wanwan, “…”

Before she could speak again, Xia Li had already hung up the call.

Here, Qi Hao felt like crying, “Granny, don’t mess with me! Binjiang Park is most crowded with morning exercisers, you want to take me, someone without any superpower, there for training, are you trying to get me killed?”

Xia Li snorted coldly, “If you don’t go where the zombies are plenty, how will you ever understand superpower?”

Qi Hao, “…” Could… could not refute…?

An hour later.

The rest of the small team that found the car and rushed to Binjiang Park were slack-jawed as they watched Qi Hao running laps around the artificial lake in the park while crying, chased by a horde of zombies, while Xia Li was sitting not far away leisurely swinging her legs and sunbathing.

Just as the leading zombie was about to catch up to Qi Hao, Xia Li jumped into action with her machete and gave the leader zombie a chop, then returned to sunbathing.

Qi Hao, who hadn’t stopped running for a moment, “Wuwuwu, Xia Li! I’m going to your grandpa!”

“Roar roar roar!”

Perhaps Qi Hao’s voice was especially inspiring to the zombies, as the horde behind him let out excited roars.

Ji Xing’s mouth twitched, “Well, this is what Sister Xia considers venting, huh?”

Ji Wanwan covered her face with her hand, “6”

Xu Siming, clearly amused, curled up the corner of his mouth, “Socialite Sister Li, beautiful and wild.”

Zhou Kai’s eyes shone brightly, “So this is training? Looks exciting! I want to try!”

As Qi Hao was running like mad, he saw the disheveled group of four and directly led the horde of zombies towards them, “What are you standing there for? Save me!!!”

“Roar roar roar!!!”

The horde became even more excited upon sensing four more living people ahead.

The next second, Ji Wanwan quickly grabbed Zhou Kai with one hand, Xu Siming with the other, shouted at her brother to hold on to her, and used Instant Teleportation to arrive beside Xia Li, “Come on! You can do it!!”

Qi Hao, “…Wuwuwu! My life matters too! I’m never playing with you all again!!!”

…

That night.

Qi Hao, who had run for more than three hours, slept the soundest sleep since the apocalypse began.

Unlike Qi Hao’s carefree attitude, in the surgery room, Ji Wanwan took a tube of Xia Li’s blood.

As soon as the blood entered the tube, it took on the appearance of burning flames, boiling furiously, but this state only lasted for about two seconds.

After two seconds, the blood visibly began to coagulate and turned black.

“This…”

No sooner had the blood drawn needle been removed, the blood in the tube had already solidified and turned black.

This state of the blood was obviously lifeless and infected with the virus, and testing it would not yield much useful information.

Ji Wanwan let out a bitter laugh, “It would be great if the blood could stay in the state it was in right after being drawn.”

Xia Li looked at the needle wound on her arm that had already begun to heal and murmured seriously, “There will be a way…”

Although the idea of blood testing encountered some obstacles, it did not hinder the actions of Ji Wanwan and her companions.

Ji Wanwan was mulling over it.

Now that Xia Li had become a Zombie Hunter, Xu Siming had a Level 9 Water Elemental Superpower, Ji Xing had a Level 3 Gold Element Superpower, and while Zhou Kai hadn’t awakened any superpower, his combat abilities were strong. She herself possessed Level 4 space control and Level 3 Equivalence Healing. Their six-person lineup was well-rounded with offense and defense, and a confrontation with the Wanjiale Monkey Corpse was imperative.

[Beep——]

[New Task: Collect 1 Level 4 Crystal Core]

[Task Completion Time: 3 days]

[Task Completion Reward: An ecological refuge base capable of withstanding attacks from Level 3 Evolved Zombies, note: comes with its own electricity and water circulation systems; the Host may choose four physical attributes to increase by 20 points each]

[Task Countdown: 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than Ji Wanwan heard the System’s chime in her ear.

Ji Wanwan felt a minor shock of surprise.

Level 4 Crystal Core?

Refuge base?

Based on past experience, the tasks from the System always appeared in response to her current thoughts.

So, Wanjiale must have already encountered Level 4 Evolved Zombies, and the likelihood was high that it was a Monkey Corpse!

Could the evolution of Monkey Corpses be so rapid?

Ji Wanwan’s expression involuntarily became more solemn.

It wasn’t just the Monkey Corpses; it seemed that in this life, everything was progressing uncontrollably at a breakneck pace, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.

Less than a month after the apocalypse had erupted, Intelligent Zombies had appeared, followed by humans who had awakened Level 9 superpowers, and, even more extreme, Zombie Hunters that she had never heard of in her previous life.

Although she possessed the Super Shelter System, Ji Wanwan still sensed a hint of disquiet in her heart, as if a storm was on its way…

…

In accordance with the original plan, the morning of the next day, the six of them set out early for Wanjiale…

When they drove near Wanjiale, they noticed that starting from Wanjiale as the center and radiating outward for about 800 meters, there were no ordinary zombies visible on the streets.

“The Monkey Corpse has become stronger,” Xu Siming remarked, his expression grave as he observed the scene outside the car window.

Last time they came, the range the Monkey Corpse could control was only 500 meters; in just five days, it had expanded to 800 meters.

This conclusion weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

Ji Wanwan looked at the empty streets and subconsciously twisted her fingertips.

“It’s very likely that the Monkey Corpse has evolved; everyone, be cautious.”

“Three o’clock, there’s a zombie.”

The moment Ji Wanwan uttered these words, Ji Xing, who had been keeping an eye on the outside movement, suddenly spoke up.

The six people in the car instantly went on alert.

Ji Wanwan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked toward three o’clock.

On the deserted street, that zombie was especially conspicuous.

But it stood there with a vacant look, like a puppet on strings, simply staring blankly at the slowly moving vehicle in the middle of the street, without any intention to attack.

“It’s a low-level zombie being controlled, probably sent out by the Monkey Corpse to patrol the streets. The Monkey Corpse must be nearby,” deduced Zhou Kai.

“Boom!”

True enough, not long after Zhou Kai had spoken, a low building on the side of the street made a noise akin to an explosion.

The building collapsed with a thunderous noise, and dust instantly engulfed the entire street, covering the sky and blurring the view of those inside the car, except that apart from Qi Hao and Zhou Kai, the rest were no longer ordinary humans.

They saw clearly as a giant zombie, approximately 5 meters tall, punched and shattered the steel-framed low building, stepping over the ruins and dust to stand in the middle of the street, fixing its gaze menacingly on this moving steel toy.

The world suddenly darkened, and Qi Hao gently tapped the brakes.

The car came to a slow stop, and beneath the gradually thinning dust, a giant figure emerged.

Qi Hao’s voice caught in his throat: “Holy shit!”

Seeing the other five remain composed, Qi Hao’s ears turned red: “What do we do now?”

Xia Li touched her machete, gripping it tightly in her hand: “Get out, kill.”
