The night finally passed.
Mu Cheng finally woke up. She stretched lazily, opened her eyes, and sat up. Outside, everything was quiet—no sound could be heard—but the foul stench in the air told her that the apocalypse had already arrived, and those infected had already mutated into zombies.
She got out of bed, washed up, and changed into a blue tracksuit. After coming out, she walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.
Outside, several corpses lay on the ground. At that moment, a stiff-bodied woman with a face torn into bloody flesh was crouching on the ground, excitedly tearing into an elderly man who was struggling desperately beneath her.
Seeing this scene, Mu Cheng felt a faint pain in her body.
Having lived five years in the apocalypse, she had seen scenes like this far too many times. She had long since become numb—long since used to it.
But she could never forget that when she died, she had been surrounded by countless zombies tearing at her flesh in the same way. That soul-shattering pain was something she would never be able to forget.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Cheng turned around and stored everything in the room into her spatial space. Then she quickly went downstairs and retrieved her modified Land Rover from the space.
She drove to the gate. Hearing the noise, the woman who had been feeding earlier stood up and slowly walked toward the iron gate step by step.
Mu Cheng used the remote control to open the gate. Without hesitation, she accelerated and drove straight through, hitting the woman and sending her flying. Without even looking back, she drove away.
The residential area was filled with newly formed zombies. Some were chasing normal people, while others, seeing the car pass by, staggered and began to follow it.
Mu Cheng drove to the Fuyin Plaza opposite the villa district. The mall, which would normally already be open, was now tightly shut. Outside, three newly turned zombies were wandering around. Seeing the car, they slowly staggered toward it.
Mu Cheng stopped the car, grabbed a fruit knife from inside, and jumped out, actively running toward the zombies.
“Roar!”
The zombies, seeing prey delivered to them, let out excited growls. But before they could finish, a sharp fruit knife sliced through one of their necks. The head rolled to the ground.
Newborn zombies were slow, sluggish, and extremely fragile. One slash was enough to cut off their neck, and one stab was enough to pierce their brains.
And the zombies’ weakness was their brain. Of course, no one knew this at first—it was only discovered later when humans began to fight back.
After quickly dealing with the three zombies, she took out a razor-sharp dagger and began carving at the glass door of the mall.
Screech… screech… screech…
The piercing sound echoed through the air.
Soon, Mu Cheng carved a circle into the glass door. She kicked it hard, and the inch-thick glass door broke open, revealing a circular hole.
She climbed through it and immediately began acting as a mover, storing everything inside the mall into her space.
No one knew how long the apocalypse would last, so the more supplies she gathered, the better. Although she was a selfish person, she understood that if she were the only one left alive, then survival would be meaningless.
So after she finished her revenge, she planned to go to the capital to find her aunt and uncle, and help her uncle and older brother rise in power within the base.
In her previous life, she had heard that the capital base was the only one managed by the military. It was extremely large, and her uncle’s superior, Tang Guohua, was the highest commander of the capital base. Her uncle and older brother also held important positions there.
After emptying the Fuyin Plaza completely, Mu Cheng jumped out, got back into her car, and headed toward the next shopping mall.
