Chapter 27: Cleaning Up the Undead

  The next morning, the peaceful Shijiazhuang Village was shattered by an extremely loud and piercing scream!

  Those who didn't know would have thought it was someone else's last words spoken under the zombie's mouth, but that wasn't what happened at all.

  Tang Tian personally experienced all of this happening.

  Things were like this, Tang Tian was a poor student before the end of the world, every day he had to rush around for his stomach and tuition fees, after a long time he developed the habit of getting up early.

  This morning was no exception. At around six o'clock, Tang Tian opened his eyes on time, but when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

  Last night when he was sleeping, it was originally him and Zhang Yu occupying one and a half beds. But somehow last night, Zhang Yu actually crossed the boundary and ran to his side.

  That's it, what made Tang Tian speechless was that Zhang Yu actually had his clothes half undone, and he was wrapped around Tang Tian like an octopus, with both hands tightly holding onto Tang Tian's neck, burying his head in Tang Tian's chest, and his legs were firmly clamped on one of Tang Tian's legs...!

  He's literally treating Tang Tian as a teddy bear...!

  As a miserable bachelor who has never had physical contact with girls, Tang Tian was at a loss for what to do in the face of such an onslaught.

  What left Tang Tian speechless was that after he accidentally moved and woke Zhang Yu up, this girl started out still dazed but under Tang Tian's gaze, she became clear-headed and after taking in the situation...

  Then, a shrill scream broke the morning calm!

  Plop!

  A crisp slap landed on Tang Tian's face, and it was incredibly loud!

  "How did you end up on my bed?", after screaming, Zhang Yu slapped Tang Tian again and then loudly questioned him.

  "When did Tang Tian ever suffer such a great grievance? His eyes turned cold, and he said calmly: 'Please take a closer look, it was you who ran to my side, and also, please release your hands and feet, this makes me very uncomfortable'!"

  It turned out that Zhang Yu was so focused on interrogating Tang Tian that he didn't even realize he was still in that ambiguous pose!

  Good grief!

  Reminded by Tang Tian, Zhang Yu looked down and found that she had indeed tightly wrapped herself around him. She was momentarily stunned, then quickly let go of him and sat to the side, at a loss for what to do.

  After Zhang Yu left, Tang Tian didn't look at her either. With a gloomy face, he got out of bed and walked out of the room by himself. At this moment, his mood can be imagined. He was being "molested" without any explanation, and in the end, he even got slapped in the ear. Who wouldn't have a bad temper?

  Watching Tang Tian's departing back, Zhang Yu's heart was filled with a mix of emotions. Although everything was her own doing, as a girl, she couldn't bring herself to apologize to Tang Tian.

  In her mind, such a thing appeared, and the boy didn't seem to be at a disadvantage...

  Tang Tian left the room, indicating that Liu Qiang and his family were fine, then he went out of the house by himself.

  Liu Qiang and his family looked at each other in confusion, completely bewildered, but adhering to the idea that it's better not to be too curious about things they shouldn't know, they didn't ask any questions.

  "Who knows what kind of tune couples are playing these days?" This is what Liu Qiang is thinking in his heart...

  Tang Tian came out of the house, took a deep breath, shook his head to forget what had just happened. For him, it was just a small episode. The main thing now was survival.

  Perhaps if Tang Tian was a person who only thought about getting through today and didn't care about tomorrow, he would be unscrupulous and do whatever he wanted. The world has become like this, he doesn't need to maintain that last bit of moral integrity in his heart, nothing can restrain him. But he isn't that kind of person, at least not for now, who knows what the future holds?

  "From the information Liu Qiang got, there are no more than sixty households in Shijiazhuang Village, with a maximum of three hundred people. When the doomsday arrived, half of the people who couldn't withstand the demon's transformation became zombies, which is one hundred and fifty people. Later, at least one-third of the remaining people were infected during the zombie attack, that is to say, no more than one hundred people survived in Shijiazhuang Village. Today, we must clear all the zombies in Shijiazhuang Village, rescue these people, organize everyone together, so that we can temporarily stand here and have hope to face those powerful mutant beasts..."

  Tang Tian stood outside Liu Qiang's house for over half an hour, filtering through all the information he had collected in his mind and temporarily forming a brief plan.

  Around 8 o'clock in the morning, Tang Tian had breakfast at Liu Qiang's home and then asked the other three women to stay at home and close the door. Only then did he take Liu Qiang out and start clearing all the zombies in Shi Jia Village and rescuing others trapped at home.

  Tang Tian handed the imitation Jinyiwei long knife that he had eliminated to Liu Qiang, throwing away the flat stick in his hand. Only then did he seriously say: "Liu brother, since you insist on facing those zombies with me, I'll tell you something to pay attention to. You haven't leveled up yet, and these zombies have already evolved, so they're not something you can handle. I'll first cripple a few zombies for you to kill, and you'll quickly reach level two. After being strengthened, it won't be so difficult for you to face the zombies again. When facing the zombies, don't panic, they're just stiff-moving things, pay attention and you shouldn't get attacked..."

  Lin Lin, Tang Tian carefully introduced to Liu Qiang the things to pay attention to when facing zombies. After all, he had never fought against zombies before and needed an adaptation process. Moreover, these zombies were not the zero-level ones that Tang Tian initially faced, so it was really not reassuring if he didn't instruct him carefully.

  "Tang brothers, don't worry, I have taken down what you said seriously, it's related to my own life safety, I won't be careless." Liu Qiang said seriously.

  To be honest, Liu Qiang was deeply grateful to Tang Tian. This wasn't just because Tang Tian had led him to rescue the trapped villagers of Shi Jia Village and taught him how to deal with zombies, but mainly because he admired Tang Tian for still retaining that bit of kindness in his heart amidst this chaotic world... Perhaps even Tang Tian himself hadn't realized it, but as an onlooker, Liu Qiang felt it extremely clearly.

  Looking at Liu Qiang's serious expression, Tang Tian nodded slightly and headed towards the center of Shi Jia Village.

  After all, Liu Qiang's house was just the outermost place in Shi Jia Village, and other people's houses were still a distance away. Although they were far away from the zombies, they were closer to the forest, which made them even more dangerous.

  The houses in rural areas are relatively scattered and almost all of them are independent households, with very few houses connected together.

  Tang Tian and the other walked dozens of meters before they truly approached Shijia Village, where they saw several zombies wandering around in twos and threes on the road. At this time, Tang Tian said to Liu Qiang beside him: "Brother Liu, you follow me from a distance for now, I'll go ahead and cripple those zombies up front, then you come up and finish them off. I believe you'll level up quickly, and after a bit more fighting, you'll be able to take on the zombies by yourself."

  "Haha, don't underestimate me, Brother Tang. Although I, Liu Qiang, may not have other skills, my physical strength is top-notch. I'll follow you around, that way I can learn a lot of experience." Liu Qiang said seriously.

  Tang Tian glanced at him and nodded in agreement before leading Liu Qiang away from those zombies.

  From Liu Qiang's eyes, Tang Tian read the desire to become stronger, that kind of pure desire to protect his family and become stronger...

  It's because Tang Tian didn't stop him again...
