Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

He put away the knife and the electric baton, searched the room again, and after making sure there was nothing useful, he got up and left the cubicle. As soon as he walked out of the cubicle door, he saw An Suxin had already put on her clothes.

This pretty young secretary put her long hair up, and covered her wrists and ankles with magazines and books for protection. She tore a slit in her hip skirt, and kicked off the heels of her high heels, turning them into a pair of flat shoes. With this outfit, she looked neat and tidy.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll go with you." An Suxin picked up the blood-stained golf club on the ground and shook it vigorously.

"You don't have to take risks with me. Just stay here and wait for rescue. I believe the army will rescue you soon." Chu Xiao advised.

"First of all," An Suxin raised her slender index finger, "When you open the door, the zombies will be alerted. You can't guarantee that you can get rid of the zombies at the door without alerting the zombies. If you can get rid of them, it's fine. If not, we will both die together."

Chu Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, because it was he who insisted on leaving and dragged An Suxin, who had barely escaped death, into this.

"Secondly," she held up a second finger, her expression turning serious, "help is unlikely to come, at least not any time soon. There's simply not enough in this office to sustain me for long."

"From the situation online, the outbreak of this 'zombie crisis' is nationwide. Many people have called for help online. Several hours have passed since the earliest post. However, even now, there has been no official statement or response. I just tried to call the police, but no one answered the phone. This shows that... this crisis has most likely paralyzed social functions. Even if there is still power to organize rescue, the rescue force will be seriously insufficient!"

"I just checked the Internet," An Suxin said with a mocking smile, "This disaster broke out almost simultaneously all over the world! A bunch of idiots on the Internet were shouting about 'the end of the world' and 'the final judgment'!"

Chu Xiao listened to An Suxin's analysis and suddenly asked, "Do you believe it?"

"What to believe?"

"The end of the world."

An Suxin was quiet for a while, then suddenly raised the golf club in her hand and smashed it hard at the boss's body, smashing the already smashed head even more into pieces.

"As long as I'm still alive, it doesn't matter what the end of the world is!"

She wiped off the blood that splashed on her face and swung the golf club hard, leaving a bright red blood line on the glass: "Get used to it in advance to prevent your hands from getting unfamiliar later."

She is truly worthy of being the woman who exposed herself in advance. After the initial panic, An Suxin is adapting to this drastically changing world at an astonishing speed.

Chu Xiao felt that this woman might be a very reliable teammate.

"Then pack up and we'll get ready to go now."

An Suxin refused and said, "Wait a moment, wait a little longer before leaving..."

"Hmm?" Chu Xiao gave her a puzzled look.

The secretary's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned her head and lowered her voice: "It was too intense just now. My legs are still a little weak..."

Chapter 3 Escape

During the break, An Suxin was not idle. She called up the recorded surveillance video and watched the clips before and after the mutation repeatedly.

"Let's assume that unscientific things like zombie viruses exist. From the video, being bitten by a zombie should be the main route of infection. We cannot rule out other routes such as blood transmission. However, contact with zombie fluids on the skin should not cause infection. Well, this remains to be observed."

She found a notebook and wrote down some guesses and speculations in it, frowning from time to time and thinking carefully.

"Once bitten, the time it takes to mutate varies. But from the video, if you die directly, the mutation will be completed in tens of seconds. If you are just bitten, the mutation time ranges from one minute to ten minutes. However, the current sample size is too small, so we can only assume that the mortality rate is 100%." ​​An Suxin glanced at Chu Xiao, "We'd better hope that we can pass the level without any injuries this time."

Chu Xiao found that this girl was indeed a secretary. In addition to her good looks, she was also very capable in sorting out information and analyzing intelligence. He subconsciously viewed these zombies in the context of movies and games, but completely forgot that this was not a movie or game, but a reality happening around him.

"The zombies' movement speed and strength are much stronger than those of humans, and they don't feel pain. Apart from being able to break their heads, we don't know of any other weaknesses. Tsk, the more I look at it, the more I feel that our survival rate is hopelessly low." The secretary bit the tip of her pen with a serious expression, "The question now is, how do these zombies... track their prey?"

She walked quickly to the body in the office, suppressed her nausea, and turned the boss' body over. The middle-aged man's head was smashed to pieces by two people in turn, but his remaining eye could still be seen.

The pupil seemed to have melted, and the entire eye was covered with a layer of light yellow viscous liquid, as if it had melted.

"I don't know if this stuff is scientific or not, but judging from the state of their eyes, even if zombies have vision, it should be limited, so I guess they should mainly rely on hearing or smell. Of course, if they have mutated into other senses, we can't do anything about it now. We can only treat it as such for the time being."

"...You are so awesome." Chu Xiao exclaimed.

An Suxin laughed at herself and said, "Awesome? Awesome as hell. If I were really awesome, I wouldn't be forced to sell my body for money. Let's not talk about these things. Next, we have to plan an escape route. I just got to work today and I don't know the structure of the building yet, but there seems to be a structural diagram of the building in the computer..."

Chu Xiao always felt that An Suxin looked much more lively and energetic than the expressionless pretty doll before.

……

Everything was ready. Chu Xiao handed the electric baton to the female secretary, and carried the samurai sword and backpack on his back, and picked up the baseball bat as a weapon - although the samurai sword was sharp, he was not used to using it for the time being, so it was better to put it away for now.

"Oh, by the way." An Suxin took out a bunch of keys from the pocket of the boss's body and threw it into Chu Xiao's hand, "Are you interested in changing to a luxury car?"

Chu Xiao looked at the key in his hand, then at the body on the ground: "I couldn't ask for more."

He tried to keep the noise as low as possible and moved the furniture that was blocking the door.

Their goal was to escape into the underground garage. This office was relatively close to the stairwell of the fire escape, which led directly to the underground garage. The problem was that they had no chance of reaching the stairs unless they dealt with the zombies wandering in the corridor.

"It would be great if there was a way to lead the zombies at the door to some other place."

An Suxin glanced at the ceiling, her eyes lit up: "It's not that there is no way..."

The girl took out a lighter from her desk, stepped on a chair, and brought the flame close to the smoke alarm on the ceiling: "The alarm is near the company gate, near the elevator, and in the opposite direction of the fire corridor."

Just as An Suxin finished speaking, she heard the alarm ringing outside the office.

In the surveillance video, the group of zombies were alarmed and rushed frantically towards the direction of the ringing bell.

The female secretary smiled and said, "Done, let's go!"

Chu Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go!"

He slowly opened the security door, and a strong smell of blood hit him, making him sick. The corridor was full of bloodstains and broken limbs - some people were torn into pieces by zombies alive, leaving them no chance to mutate.

The two of them unconsciously lowered their breathing, tensed their muscles, and quickly moved to the other side of the corridor. They were lucky, as the zombies in the corridor were attracted by the alarm and they did not encounter any danger.

Chu Xiao grasped the handle of the fire door and pulled it gently, but heard a loud squeak!

Chu Xiao's heart sank - this broken door had not been opened for a long time and the hinges had become rusty!

He turned around suddenly and saw that the zombies at the end of the corridor had been attracted by the sound, and the tide of zombies was rushing towards them quickly!

Chu Xiao didn't bother to lower his voice, he pulled open the fire door, dragged An Suxin into the corridor, and then shut the door tightly. Before he could fasten the bolt, he heard a rumbling sound. The two who were holding the door tightly felt a huge impact. The fire door was forced open by the zombies, and a hideous and bloody face squeezed out from the crack of the door. The metal door scraped off the flesh on its face, and the turbid eyes seemed to be filled with the murderous intent of a beast.

Chu Xiao recognized this face. This was a colleague of his who was quite close to him. They had had dinner together several times. They couldn't be called friends, but they had a good relationship.

At this critical moment of life and death, he actually felt a strange sense of sadness.

"Let's go! We can't hold out here for long!"

Chu Xiao decisively gave up closing the door, took An Suxin's hand and ran downstairs.

The chaotic zombies instantly broke through the door and poured into the corridor. However, because the door was narrow and the zombies were crowded and disorderly, Chu Xiao and the others had a chance to breathe and briefly distanced themselves from the zombies.

Soon, zombies rushed out from behind the door one after another and chased after the two.

"Hurry up, they are chasing us!" Chu Xiao roared.

"Don't rush me, this is the fastest!" An Suxin gritted her teeth and followed closely.

In the stairwell, the two actually had a certain advantage. The zombies did not have good balance and could easily fall in the stairwell, but their numbers were huge. A large group of zombies poured into the stairwell, like a wave of flesh and blood, rolling down from top to bottom!

The height of thirty floors was enough to make one's scalp tingle. The two men fled downwards desperately, not knowing how many floors they had gone down. The circles of stairs seemed to have no end, and the bloody corpses that were getting closer and closer behind them made them even more desperate.

However, the danger was not just the tide of zombies behind them. There were other survivors in the building, and it wasn't that no one else thought of escaping through the less populated fire escape.

Chu Xiao saw that the fire door on a floor below was actually open. A zombie was wandering near the door, with dirty blood dripping from its face that had been bitten beyond recognition. Trails of blood extended all the way down the stairs.

Chu Xiao's pupils constricted, but he could not stop. If he stopped at this moment, he would soon be swallowed up by the tide of corpses behind him.

The zombie apparently noticed the two people rushing down from above, and pounced towards them with a roar.

Chu Xiao gritted his teeth, jumped high, raised the golf club in his hand, and smashed it hard on the zombie's head, smashing it into pieces. However, due to this delay, the tide of zombies behind them was getting closer and closer. If they continued like this, they would be overwhelmed by the tide of zombies before they could run to the underground garage!

"This way!" An Suxin suddenly grabbed Chu Xiao's hand and rushed into the open fire door.

"Close the door! Quick!"

Fortunately, there were no zombies behind the door. Chu Xiao quickly pushed the fire door closed, and two people held the door tightly.

Then I heard the roaring zombies in the corridor, rumbling like an out-of-control tide, but they didn't stop at all, rushing straight to the next floor. The zombies, who had no rationality or thinking ability, couldn't stop at all in such a steep corridor, and could only rush down.

"The bet was right..." An Suxin slowly slid down to the ground with her back against the fire door. She was breathing heavily. Due to the distance she had run, she had to cover her mouth tightly to prevent herself from coughing.

Chu Xiao held his chest, controlled his breathing, and immediately became alert to the surrounding environment. This was a deserted floor, the lamps in the corridor emitted a cold light, and there were a lot of bloodstains on the walls and the ground, but it was far less tragic than the floor they were on.

——Anyway, we are safe for now...

He collapsed to the ground, and only then did he feel his legs were so sore and swollen that they didn't feel like his own. Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulder. It was An Suxin leaning her head on his shoulder, and her breathing gradually became smoother.

Chu Xiao reached out, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, held her in his arms, and looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, he had the urge to smoke...

Chapter 4 Abnormal

"Aren't you afraid that we will rush into the pile of zombies?" Chu Xiao lowered his voice.

"Of course I'm afraid," An Suxin changed into a more comfortable position in Chu Xiao's arms, "That's why I said 'it was the right bet'."

An Suxin is certainly not a person who relies on luck. Due to family reasons, she hates the act of "gambling" even more.

When she was looking through the structural drawings of the building before, she managed to memorize the functional areas of each floor - she had a good memory, and perhaps because of the high concentration at the critical moment of life and death, she did not have to spend much effort to remember the key information.

"We are on the fifth floor now. I remember that this floor is mainly for warehouses and machine rooms. In theory, there shouldn't be many people on this floor except for a few management personnel. Then, in front of the fire door, you should have noticed obvious bloodstains flowing downwards, right?" An Suxin analyzed with reason. "The door is open, there are a lot of bloodstains on the ground, and a small number of zombies are wandering around the door. It is very likely that someone has escaped from here before us and led away a large number of zombies."

These factors gave An Suxin the confidence to take this "gamble" - after all, it was just speculation, and no one could be sure whether this decision would lead them to hell.

At this moment, the two bodies were just pressed together, as if they were relying on each other's body temperature to soothe their agitated emotions. Chu Xiao felt the secretary's exquisite body through a thin layer of clothes, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his lower abdomen. Although he had just indulged in love with the beauty in his arms not long ago, his body seemed to be ignited, and he actually reacted again, and his hands unconsciously touched the slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

Noticing Chu Xiao's movements, the secretary rolled her eyes at the man rather charmingly, but did not stop him. She just said coquettishly, "Now is not the time..."

Chu Xiao was a little embarrassed, so he quickly withdrew his hand, stood up from the ground, and changed the subject: "We have to find another route to escape from here. The corridor is no longer accessible."

An Suxin held onto the wall and followed behind to get up from the ground.

She leaned over to brush off the dust on her body, then looked back at the fire door behind her: "For now... we can only take it one step at a time."

Just as An Suxin said, this floor was a warehouse and a machine room, not crowded, and extremely deserted and quiet. However, the quietness in this situation revealed a sense of spooky horror. No one knew if something would suddenly rush out from a corner and bite them.

Chu Xiao walked in front holding the golf club, remaining alert. He was worried about his sister's condition, but in this situation, being anxious would not solve the problem.

Except for some rooms whose doors could not be opened, it didn't take much time to walk through this floor. Apart from a few pools of blood, the two did not even find a corpse.

"It's only natural that there are no corpses," An Suxin said with a wry smile, "After all, the corpses have stood up and eaten people."

"Shh!" Chu Xiao suddenly pressed An Suxin's plump lips and pretended to listen attentively, "There is movement."

The man walked cautiously to a locked door and put his ear to it.

He heard heavy breathing and a woman's arousing gasps coming from behind the door - someone was doing the same thing as they had just done, or perhaps even more exaggerated, because judging from the sounds, there was probably more than just a couple in the room...

Imagine what a sexy scene is behind this door. Chu Xiao suddenly felt a heat flow through his body. The fire that An Suxin had just aroused suddenly grew bigger. He looked at the female secretary beside him with a strange look. An Suxin was not much better. Her pretty face was covered with a layer of red. As her breathing became rapid, her perky chest kept rising and falling, as if the buttons of her shirt were about to burst.

As their faces got closer, Chu Xiao felt An Suxin's hot breath on his face, as if it carried a hint of sweet fragrance.

"Wait...something's wrong..." the secretary said with a red face and gritted teeth.

Of course Chu Xiao knew that this was very wrong. Not to mention that he had already released his sexual desire with the beauty in front of him not long ago, even if he was horny, he would not do it at such a critical moment of life and death, right?

He ruthlessly used the tip of his tongue to temporarily sober himself up through the pain, and then pulled An Suxin towards the bathroom.

After washing his face with a handful of cold water, Chu Xiao finally suppressed the nameless anger in his heart. Staring at himself in the mirror, he saw that the person in the mirror had bloodshot eyes, like a hungry beast.

"I have a very bad association..." he whispered.

"What a coincidence, I have it too." There were still clear drops of water on An Suxin's face, and the wet ends of her hair stuck to her cheeks, making her as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water. However, the whites of her eyes were also bloodshot, which made people feel uneasy.

Although it is said that in dangerous moments, the instinct of living things to leave offspring will be greatly enhanced, but this kind of desire that makes people almost out of control cannot be explained by just instinct.

"If...if there really is such an unreasonable thing as the zombie virus," An Suxin bit her lip lightly, her face bitter, "it is very likely that we are just like those unlucky guys who mutated into zombies...we are already infected...and, I'm afraid, we have also been affected..."

Chu Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally chose to take a deep breath: "Don't think too far ahead for now. We are still alive now, and that's enough."

Chu Xiao didn't plan to care about the survivors behind the door. Whether it was enjoying themselves in the moment or the final madness, the two of them might not be able to escape alive, let alone a large group of people?

Looking out of the building from the fifth floor window was far more shocking than looking down from the 30th floor. From the 30th floor, the crowd looked like a colony of ants, and only a chaotic tide could be seen, but on the fifth floor, they had turned back into people, and the screams could reach them unhindered.

Chu Xiao and An Suxin stood by the window and once again deeply felt what doomsday and death meant. The once bustling streets seemed to have turned into post-war ruins, with blood and body parts everywhere. Countless zombies were chasing the survivors frantically. Once someone was knocked down, the surrounding zombies would rush over and tear the struggling body apart.

"This should be the early stage of the disaster, the most chaotic time. Theoretically, at this time, we should find a place with sufficient supplies to stay in peace." An Suxin looked out the window, "Are you sure you want to rush outside at this time? I'm sure that the school is a crowded area, and the situation right now... It's probably not an exaggeration to say that it's hell."

Chu Xiao nodded without hesitation.

He had to rescue his sister, even if it meant going to hell.
