Hikaru and Laylah were both thinking the same thing, then Hikaru frowned and said, "Let's stop arguing for now, okay?"
"Have we reached an impasse?" Laylah said in a teasing voice.
Hikaru didn't want to mess with her either, he could only shake his head and sigh. In his heart he secretly decided to push her out of his mansion.
Of course, he will keep her as far away from the place as possible. However, how he would make Laylah actively leave was still a mystery.
With his power?
No way, he couldn't defeat Laylah, even if he defeated her, she wouldn't be easy to kill.
Laylah was one of the most enigmatic, relentless, and most annoying protagonists.
Hikaru felt that turning Laylah into an ally was almost impossible.
'Haizzz… maybe I shouldn't have anything to do with her. Now things seem to be getting worse.'
Although he thought so in his heart, he also felt lucky that Laylah didn't strike him right away.
Maybe… she still felt a little hesitant about really wanting to be his enemy.
The two of them walked towards the source of the gunfire, of course, Laylah walked behind him, and he kept a distance of about 5 meters from her.
He also didn't want to die as he was moving.
Going to a high-rise building, Hikaru and Laylah headed to the top floor, then looked down below.
Even though they were on the 15th floor, their eyes could still clearly see what was going on below.
Laylah and Hikaru clearly saw an army of infantry and tanks clearing zombies wherever they passed.
Although the sound of guns and cannons was very loud, and it would attract more zombies, their firepower was enough to destroy the zombies.
Walking in the middle of the army was a group of civilians, There were probably over 1,000 people. They were men, women, old people and children… They were all surrounded by the army.
No, to be more precise, the army was escorting them.
Around them, cars carried headlights that lit up the surrounding area like daylight.
Hikaru frowned, and thought in his heart why did the army appear so early?
'They should be dealing with the zombies inside their own ranks, how can they organize a search and rescue of the inhabitants?'
'Could it be… they stabilized the army and established a survivor zone?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Impossible! No matter how many weapons an army has, they can't stabilize themselves so quickly.'
That's right, Zombies can appear anywhere, even inside the army. Soldiers still have the same chance of turning into zombies as normal residents.
To destroy all the zombies inside the army would take a long time.
Although they can kill all the zombies they must settle down and wait for orders to come from their leader.
But the apocalypse just happened a few days, yet the army was able to stabilize, and destroy all the zombies inside the army and organize a search for survivors.
"Do not underestimate the army."
"Hm?" Hikaru looked towards Laylah.
She looked at the army below, she smiled coldly as she said : "I am their test subject. There are many other test subjects like me inside the army."
Hikaru frowned at that: "You mean… in the army there are many people possessing the same power as you?"
Laylah nodded, then shook her head again: "No, maybe they are some stronger than me. However…"
Suddenly, Laylah glanced over at him, giving him a cold smile that made him shiver: "Thanks to you, I'm much more complete than those test subjects."
"Perhaps… I have become the most perfect form of humanity. Even those crazy researchers won't realise that I have become what they've always dreamed of."
Hikaru felt that this was starting to get a little scary. Regardless of the world, the military is a place full of mystery and fear.
When he was on Earth, the military was always a topic of curiosity.
What kind of weapons are there in the army?
What kind of technology do they have?
After all, what are they hiding?
There are many other questions.
'It seems…no matter what world the army is in, it's still terrible.'
'Even… in this 'apocalyptic' world, the army is more formidable than the one on Earth.'
However, Hikaru shook his head. He did not want to care about the army's problems, he was considering whether to continue stealing resources from food stores and especially weapons stores.
Now that the army has appeared, they will certainly go to the stores of food and weapons.
"Let's go!"
"Hm?!" Hikaru heard Laylah's words and felt confused: "Where are you going?"
Laylah laughed and said, "Of course, the food and weapons stores. Do you want them to take all the weapons and food?"
Hikaru frowned and asked, "Why are you helping me? You're a policeman, aren't you?"
Laylah shrugged: "what is it? Are you afraid I'll lure you into a trap?"
"Hahaha… rest assured. The army is also our enemy. If you help me destroy this city's army, no matter how you want me to 'serve' you, I will accept it."
Hikaru frowned, however, without waiting for his reply, Laylah immediately dashed in another direction.
He could only shake his head and follow Laylah.
…
In the apartment building, Rayze sat by the window, when he heard the sound of gunfire he frowned.
'Gun's? There are even tanks.'
'Strange, the army is still struggling to kill the zombies inside of them, why can they even go out to kill zombies?'
'No! Perhaps they are running out of the army barracks, and are looking for a more suitable place to build a new barracks.'
[Those who are still alive, please listen to me. I, am representing this city's army, and I am searching for survivors.]
[If anyone can hear my words, please focus on area C1, located 15 kilometers west of the city center.]
[Or people can leave the shelter to join the army. We are building a large shelter for survivors.]
[Trust the army, we can deal with zombies and any monster with our firepower.]
Rayze frowned at that: 'It seems… The army couldn't really deal with all zombies internally. They also have to find another place to build their barracks.'
'Hahaha… kill zombies with your firepower? Looks like… you still haven't felt the horror of Zombies.'
'So… let me help you feel it.'
'Anyway, I want to test whether the army is stronger or if my zombies are stronger.'
Rayze smiled, then stood up. He pulled the hood of his jacket over his head, and tried to hide his face. He Carried a backpack on his back, then went outside.
Rayze stood in front of Yue's room, frowned and said, "Yue, the army has arrived, we will be safe. However, I hope you won't leave the room. We still don't know if the army can defeat zombies."
"Just wait a little longer, okay?"
"If you agree, knock on the door."
Rayze waited patiently in front of Yue's room. Even though he was standing outside, he could still hear the footsteps in the room clearly.
That's why he waited patiently outside.
"Yue, if you don't answer me, I won't leave. I will continue to stand in this place until you answer me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnock!
There was a knock on the door, Rayze smiled: "Thank you for answering me. The weather is getting colder, so I'll put a backpack in front of the room."
"Take it, there are winter clothes and warm clothes inside. I hope it can help you."
Rayze put the backpack on his back on the ground, then left.
More than 5 minutes later, Yue's door slowly opened, and a thin girl stepped out from the room.
At this time, she wore a long black dress that reached her feet it was often used in cold weather, she also had a sweater on her body, and a scarf around her neck.
Although it had only been 2 days, Yue was much thinner than before, her face was pale like someone suffering from anemia.
She used a flashlight, to illuminate the hallway. After confirming that there was no one around, she gently pulled the backpack inside.
Yue closed the door, locking it carefully with an anti-theft lock. Then she sat on the ground and sighed.
She didn't dare face Rayze because she is afraid.
Yue was afraid to see Rayze's eyes filled with murderous intent as he killed the man.
After that, every time Yue ate anything, she remembered the image of Rayze breaking the man's neck in front of her.
As soon as that image appeared in her mind, Yue threw up everything she ate.
For the past two days, she couldn't seem to eat anything, only water.
Whenever Yue slept, she would lie down next to the piano, so she could sleep peacefully.
However, it wasn't the best place to sleep either, it only made it easier for Yue to fall asleep.
After sleeping, the image of Rayze killing the man still appeared in the dream. Yue even saw the murdered man chasing her with his broken neck.
The horrifying sight woke Yue up every night. However, without electricity, Yue could only lie in the saddle in the blanket, shivering and crying.
Yue sat on the cold ground, her face was pale, her eyes were dark, and her lips were dry and cracked.
Her body shivered a bit, not sure if it was due to cold or fear.
'Looks like the army has arrived… but Rayze said that he doesn't know if they can resist the zombies or not?'
'Is Rayze telling the truth or is he tricking me?'
'Does he want me to stay here?'
'Why? Maybe… Rayze likes me? He wants me?'
'No, Rayze isn't that kind of person…'
'But…'
Yue thought of Rayze killing that man, she didn't know what to do next.
Yue lowered her head, tears flowing like a stream: "What should I do?"
