I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse - Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Heh, Man
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yao Zheng’s words caused everyone in the room to discuss.
Feng Qin said, “Of course. Our country’s military is still awesome!”
Wang Gang: “I’ve seen many novels and movies about Resident Evil in the past. The content is pure nonsense! How can a body of flesh and blood withstand a torrent of steel? How can it withstand a missile or nuclear bomb? With the military’s help, this matter will definitely be resolved.”
Wei Kai: “So are we going to wait like this? Wait for the military to save us? Or should we run out and meet up with the military?”
Wei Kai’s words made everyone look up at Wang Sheng.
He was the boss here. He had the final say.
Wang Sheng fell silent.
He didn’t actually live in this building. He wasn’t a tenant. He’d been through hell and back, and he’d been deeply affected by the zombies.
They were extremely athletic! They ran fast and were strong! All of them were no different from Superman.
Moreover, Wang Sheng was a fake military fan. He knew very well that in the streets of the city, the military’s patriotism could not help at all.
With the strength and infectiousness of zombies, if the military engaged in street battles with them, it would be like carrying lanterns in the toilet—they were courting death!
To be fair, Wang Sheng felt that the military might not be able to resolve this situation.
But then again…
If the military couldn’t solve the problem, who could? Who could save them?
There was no food and the environment was harsh.
If he continued to wait, he would still die.
If he did not fight while he still had strength and the military could not deal with the zombies, he would really be dead.
He stared out the window.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance was extremely loud, attracting all the zombies around.
This scene caused Wang Sheng to make a decision.
“Let’s go and meet up with the military!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other six people did not respond…
Everyone just looked at each other. They looked at each other, clearly not agreeing with Wang Sheng’s decision.
Fan Huiling said shakily as she pressed the big ball against Wang Sheng’s arm.
“Brother Wang, can’t we wait for the military to come and save us?”
Although Wang Sheng was burly, he was meticulous.
He could tell that Fan Huiling’s words also represented what the others thought.
Left with no choice, Wang Sheng explained, “Firstly, the military might just be passing by. If we don’t seize the opportunity to meet up with the military, the military might leave.”
This reason made everyone look at each other, but they admitted in their hearts that there was indeed such a possibility.
“Secondly, the military has already lured away most of the zombies. It’s not dangerous to go out now. Besides, if the military doesn’t come to save us, or they might not even be able to save us, it’s good for us to take this opportunity to go out and find some supplies.”
With that, Wang Sheng clapped his hands gently and encouraged, “I’ll lead the way later. If there’s any danger, I’ll go up first. You guys follow behind me. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
It was unavoidable to have misgivings, but Wang Sheng had already made himself clear. After everyone looked at each other, they reluctantly nodded.
Five men and two women, the seven young adults, opened the door uneasily or reluctantly and walked out of the safe house they had been staying within for two and a half days.
…
Everything was as Wang Sheng had expected.
The zombies had been lured away by the military.
He walked out of the room and stepped onto the stairs. There were bloodstains and broken limbs everywhere he looked, but there were no nightmarish zombies.
The seven of them went from nauseous retching at first to getting used to it.
From being cautious at the beginning, they slowly sped up.
Humans were very adaptable.
When they arrived at the street and saw the small shop, they swallowed their saliva but suppressed their hunger. They hurried towards the source of the roaring sound. Food and water were important, but as long as they caught a ride with the military, these were not problems.
They could still differentiate between priorities.
In the distance, the sound of gunfire gradually faded, just like the gradually sinking hearts of everyone.
Unknowingly, they quickened their pace and soon arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
Wang Sheng, who was in the lead, instantly stopped in his tracks.
…
The scene before them caused the pupils of Wang Sheng and the others to constrict.
Ahead, at a crossroads.
The four armored vehicles formed a circle, looking solid and immovable.
However, the faint screams and bites coming from inside the circle had already indicated the outcome.
The sound of gunfire had long since subsided.
The densely packed zombies were like vultures that had found food. They surrounded the armored vehicle in the center with three layers inside and three layers outside.
The zombies clung to each other and stepped on each other. The height had long passed the armored vehicle’s defense line. Through the gaps between the zombies, one could vaguely see the driver of the armored vehicle, who had already become a zombie, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws in the cockpit!
Wang Sheng suddenly waved at the people behind him.
It meant: “Don’t make a sound. Hurry up and retreat…”
However, how could a team that had only interacted for two and a half days have such tacit understanding?!
A deafening scream instantly resounded through the sky.
However, after seeing such a huge number of zombies and seeing with her own eyes that the military could not defeat the zombies, Liu Aiyuan’s psychological defense collapsed again…
“F*ck!”
Wang Sheng cursed angrily and turned to run without another word.
At the same time, the zombies were alarmed by the screams and turned to look at Wang Sheng and the others.
Countless pale eyes seemed to drag everyone into hell…
Other than Wang Sheng, the other six people seemed to have been immobilized and could not move their legs at all.
“Run! Run! Hurry!”
Wang Sheng was quite loyal. As soon as he turned around, he immediately shouted to wake everyone up… However, he did not know that his shout had sent him to hell.
A leg suddenly stretched out, and Wang Sheng tripped on the spot.
This threw Wang Sheng off balance.
When he looked up again, he saw that Liu Aiyuan, who had caused the tragedy, had already broken out of her trance. She glanced at him viciously and ran away like a rabbit.
“Liu Aiyuan, you’ve harmed me!”
Wang Sheng roared angrily. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a huge force surging behind him.
A zombie had already jumped three meters and was riding on Wang Sheng’s back.
“Rip.”
“Ah!!”
The blood gradually rose.
With just one bite, half of Wang Sheng’s neck was bitten off.
And the time it took for a corpse to transform was 10 seconds.
In these ten seconds, people were still human and a prey for the zombies.
The extremely fast zombies instantly pounced on Wang Sheng. The smell of blood made the zombies stack up on Wang Sheng’s body.
In addition, Liu Aiyuan and the other six had already run a certain distance away, so only a small number of zombies continued to chase after Liu Aiyuan and the others.
When Liu Aiyuan turned around and saw this scene, she felt relieved that she had taken revenge. “Who asked you to be fierce! How dare you be fierce to a woman when you have some strength! Are you still fierce now?!”
She made up her mind.
She secretly signaled to Yao Zheng, Feng Qin, Wang Gang, and Wei De. After a moment of hesitation, the four men revealed fierce expressions.
Yao Zheng grabbed Fan Huiling’s collar and pulled her to the ground.
Feng Qin, who was running behind Fan Huiling, stepped on her stomach, causing her to arch her back and lose the ability to get up quickly.
Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Looking at the other five people fleeing for their lives, Fan Huiling was filled with questions… However, before she could say anything else, the zombies that were still chasing behind her had already swarmed forward and enjoyed the feast.
From beginning to end, she did not utter a word.
…
With Wang Sheng and Fan Huiling as scapegoats, Liu Aiyuan and the others finally ran to an alley without zombies.
They stood rooted to the ground, panting heavily. The five of them looked at each other. Liu Aiyuan coughed lightly and smiled brightly.
“Thank you, brothers, for helping me.”
Yao Zheng placed his hands on his knees and panted as he reluctantly waved his hand. “I’ve also been unhappy with Wang Sheng for a long time. He wants to be the boss just because he has the strength. Who still competes in strength these days? He has to rely on his brain!”
As he spoke, he propped himself up and looked at the other three men.
“So Little Yuan, these three are…”
It was not difficult to tell from his words that Yao Zheng and Liu Aiyuan knew each other long ago.
This question made Liu Aiyuan smile shyly.
“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago? Come to my house and play some games that you haven’t played before… These are…”
“Oh~~”
The remaining four men looked enlightened at the same time and smiled wretchedly at each other. Everything was understood without words.
Liu Aiyuan continued, “Brothers, you will have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future. Let’s settle our food and drinks first before finding a safe place.”
“When everything is settled, let’s ~”
Her words were most seductive when she did not finish the sentence.
In addition, although she had not washed up for two days, Liu Aiyuan’s foundation was good to begin with. Coupled with her charming expression, the four men were instantly aroused. Even the apocalypse was not as scary.
Looking at the few of them who were energized and motivated instantly, Liu Aiyuan’s smile did not change, but a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
“Heh, man.”
Chapter 9: Get Lost
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The apocalypse was terrifying.
Women in the apocalypse were destined to suffer.
However, Liu Aiyuan felt that she could control everything!
This was because the skill she excelled in was her innate looks and figure!
This was an advantage that would not change with the environment.
She believed that with her own methods, it would be easy for her to deal with four hotheads.
Unfortunately, Wang Sheng was already dead.
That guy had a good brain and was strong, but he was a little chauvinistic. He did not understand her hints and instead made a fuss about her…
“Stupid man, how dare you shout at me! If you don’t die, who will?!”
“And in terms of brains, I, Liu Aiyuan, am not necessarily inferior.”
Killing Wang Sheng was part of Liu Aiyuan’s plan.
Or rather, she had a clear plan for the current situation—the appearance of the military was unexpected, but it didn’t matter in the current situation.
Liu Aiyuan brought her four friends to the street. After confirming that there were no zombies around, she quickly spoke.
“Food, water, and a safe place.”
The four men nodded, but unknowingly, they handed over the leadership to Liu Aiyuan.
Liu Aiyuan did not refuse.
She quickly said, “It’s not difficult to find food and drinks. There are several small shops nearby. There are enough supplies for us.”
Liu Aiyuan had just observed that although the military did not defeat the zombies, they managed to lure the horde of zombies away by a fortunate coincidence. The vicinity was relatively safe.
“The key is a safe house. The buildings in the city village are very old. The soundproofing is not strong.”
Yao Zheng and the other three nodded in unison. “The soundproofing ability is key.”
They knew how loud Liu Aiyuan’s voice was…
Liu Aiyuan smiled charmingly. “As it happens, I know a wonderful safe house. It’s on another street.”
“Let’s go over now.”
…
The safe house Liu Aiyuan was talking about was Lu Ming’s home.
The modified small building was already standing out from the crowd. In addition, there were many old people in the urban village, maintaining that sense of neighborhood and community found in the rural areas. If something happened in someone else’s home, it easily became widely known.
Lu Ming was clearly the number one oddball in the urban village.
A guy who liked to stockpile supplies.
A weirdo who had transformed his home into a fortress.
Liu Aiyuan had lived here for a year and had heard of Lu Ming’s name several times. Of course, in normal days, it was impossible for her to interact with such monsters, and it would never happen in her lifetime.
But the apocalypse had come. They were currently in need of a safe house, and it seemed like they had stumbled upon one.
Rolling her eyes, she came up with a plan.
Liu Aiyuan spoke quickly.
“Let’s go over there later and observe first. When we’re sure there’s no danger, I’ll knock on the door.”
“Once the door is opened, everyone swarms in and drives the owner out of the house.”
Yao Zheng and the others nodded vigorously. “Alright, let’s do that!”
Liu Aiyuan was confident regarding the matter of knocking on Lu Ming’s door.
The truth was that ever since she debuted at the age of 20, she had never encountered a situation where she could not enter a man’s house.
She tidied up her appearance in front of the nearby glass and made a cute gesture. Liu Aiyuan brought a large group of people and approached Lu Ming’s house.
They did not encounter any zombies along the way.
Not long after, she stood in front of Lu Ming’s house.
…
Upon waking up from the afternoon nap, all attributes were fully acquired.
Name: Lu Ming.
Age: 25 years old.
Strength: 7.2
Physique: 7.6
Agility: 8.
Fitness Lv2 (50/100).
Slingshot Lv2 (7/200).
Crossbow Shooting Lv2 (0/200).
Archery Lv1 (1/100)
Hand-to-hand combat Lv1 (53/100).
There was no soreness in his body from intense exercise. Instead, Lu Ming felt refreshed.
He got out of bed and did a stretch. Lu Ming was very satisfied with his condition.
Just as Lu Ming was planning his afternoon training, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Frowning, he came to the door and looked out through the electronic screen.
Outside the door, a delicate woman stood pitifully in front of the door. Her big watery eyes seemed to have endless stories to tell.
…
“Is anyone there?”
“Is anyone there?”
“Mr. Lu, are you there?”
Liu Aiyuan kept calling the door with a delicate but muffled sob. Her voice that could evoke a man’s protective instincts kept calling at the door. At the same time, she glanced around and quickly saw the surveillance camera in front of the door.
She deliberately pulled down her collar, revealing her fair skin. Liu Aiyuan’s voice kept ringing as she used this method to open Lu Ming’s door.
She did not know that Lu Ming was standing on the other side of the door, calmly watching everything on the display.
Lu Ming said nothing.
He was destined not to make a sound.
About five minutes later, Liu Aiyuan sighed deeply.
“There’s no one home.”
“Then we would have to pry open the door…”
Liu Aiyuan bent down and picked up the crowbar by her feet. Just as she was about to tamper with Lu Ming’s door, she heard a voice coming from the loudspeaker.
“What do you think you are doing?”
The voice stunned Liu Aiyuan. She quickly stopped looking fierce and put on a pitiful expression again.
“Is it Brother Lu?”
“It’s not Brother Lu. My name is Lu Ming.”
“I’m not wrong… Brother Lu…”
“It’s Lu Ming.”
Liu Aiyuan: “…”
“Brother Lu Ming, did you hear the voices outside just now?”
Lu Ming did not respond.
Liu Aiyuan began to use the excuse she had prepared beforehand.
“The military is here. They lured the zombies out just now and killed them all. We’re already safe.”
Without giving Lu Ming a chance to ask about the details, Liu Aiyuan continued.
“The military is cleaning up the battlefield now. At the same time, they informed us volunteers to gather the survivors. They’ll take us to a safe place.”
Before Lu Ming could speak, Liu Aiyuan revealed a pitiful and tired expression.
“Brother, many people are dead. I… I’m so afraid. I really can’t do this mission anymore~~ Can you open the door and let me in to rest?”
As she spoke, Liu Aiyuan pulled her collar lower.
She gave herself 80 points for her speech.
It was a bad idea to seduce him directly. It would be a failed speech. If the other party was not an old pervert or had a woman in the house, everything would be in vain.
It was not good to be secretive. With the apocalypse, everyone was quite busy and flustered. Their minds were slow, and it was easy for them to not understand the hints in her words.
And the most brilliant way was to use the excuse of the military to give people a sense of security. After establishing a sense of security, one’s guard would be relaxed. Then, she herself would create a mountainous undulation, and 90% of normal men would not be able to resist this undulating charm.
She had already thought of what would happen next.
Lu Ming would open the door and she rushed forward to let him have a taste of her sweetness first. Once her “underlings” were in position, this safe house would belong to her, Liu Aiyuan.
She was thinking about the beautiful post-apocalyptic life in the future, but reality gave Liu Aiyuan a big slap in the face.
“Are you taking me for a fool? Or are you a fool yourself?”
“Five minutes of knocking on the door to search for survivors?”
“Do you need to carry a crowbar with you when you want to take a rest?”
“You look fake and your words are fake. You can’t be more fake from the inside out.”
“Now, please leave.”
When Liu Aiyuan heard this, she was so infuriated that her nose was almost bent out of shape.
In her life, she hated others for shouting at her and for saying that she had plastic surgery!
At this moment, Lu Ming had touched her sore spot and ruined Liu Aiyuan’s plan.
She might as well not act anymore.
Liu Aiyuan picked up the crowbar and was about to pry open the door when she shouted angrily, “Open the door! Open the door!”
Faintly, Liu Aiyuan heard hurried footsteps coming from the house.
Before she could think further, the window on the second floor suddenly opened. A stone with a huge force hit Liu Aiyuan’s forehead!
In an instant, Liu Aiyuan felt a huge bump on her forehead. She looked up and saw Lu Ming holding a slingshot and looking at her coldly.
Lu Ming spoke.
“Get lost!”
“I won’t say a second time!!”
