Before Su Ling could get close, a roar erupted from behind the door.
The roar was strange, a mix of pain, helplessness, and a hint of despair.
The sound vibrated in Su Ling's ears, making her feel dizzy.
Su Ling swayed, her gaze sharpening as she fixed on the door.
This roar clearly indicated a major boss was hiding behind it.
Just a single roar could make her ears ring and her head spin. How powerful must it be!
Su Ling couldn't understand why such a powerful zombie would appear so early in the apocalypse.
She remembered encountering strong and difficult zombies in her previous life, but they were few in number.
This was the second relatively powerful zombie she had encountered in this life.
Could it be because she had left the villa area early after her rebirth, expanding her search range and clearing areas ahead of time?
As a result, the increased area of scavenging led to more encounters with powerful mutated zombies?
Su Ling couldn't figure it out, and she didn't bother to think too much about it.
She only knew that the more powerful the zombie, the better the crystal cores in its brain.
What color would the crystal core of a zombie at this level be? Red? Purple? Or, if she were greedy, black?
The zombie behind the door seemed to fear Su Ling as well, not daring to come out, but hiding inside.
Su Ling had no intention of waiting for death. Her mission was to collect crystal cores and supplies.
Time was as precious as crystal cores, and she couldn't afford to waste it.
The sooner she dealt with it, the sooner she could continue scavenging.
The dried goods in this area were incredibly abundant, and she had been coveting them for a long time.
With this thought, Su Ling tucked her Tang saber under her arm and took some fruit from her spatial storage to replenish her energy.
After eating the fruit and restoring her energy, Su Ling picked up the Tang saber again and walked towards the door.
Su Ling stepped into the world behind the door, embracing the danger. As she had expected, the space behind the door was indeed a warehouse.
The shelves were stacked with various packaged dried seafood, and near the door, a skeleton, gnawed clean, lay on the ground, along with a trembling zombie huddled in a corner?
Seeing this, Su Ling paused, tilting her head slightly as she observed the trembling zombie in the corner.
She was baffled, utterly confused.
The zombie in the corner seemed to notice Su Ling looking at it. It trembled uncontrollably, yet it still raised its face from where it was buried in its arms.
When it looked up, even for someone like Su Ling who had lived through the apocalypse, it was a shock.
What kind of face was it?
It was a 'yin-yang face,' half zombie and half survivor.
The survivor half of its face looked perfectly normal, with no signs of mutation.
The zombie half, however, had bulging eyeballs and veins crisscrossing its skin, like large worms writhing beneath the surface, creating a grotesque texture.
That zombie...
Su Ling hesitated, unsure whether to call the creature in front of her a zombie or a survivor.
To call him a survivor would be wrong, given half his face was that of a zombie.
To call him a zombie would be inaccurate, as the other half was clearly that of a survivor.
Its appearance was truly bizarre and terrifying.
If this creature had the ability to hide its mutated half and blend into human crowds, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Could it be called: Half-human, half-zombie?
As the half-human, half-zombie looked up, it saw the Tang saber and fire knife in Su Ling's hands. It flinched and retreated further into the corner, terrified.
"Don't kill me, I didn't kill anyone," the half-human, half-zombie said, pointing a trembling finger at the remains in front of Su Ling. "That monster you killed ate them, not me!"
