The sun shone brightly, and the weather was great.
Sunlight stread through the window, illuminating the rented room.
ng Xu woke up early.
Mainly because he’d had enough sleep and had nothing else to do.
Today’s breakfast was abundant.
There were Kangshuaifu braised beef noodles, shrimp fish cake, shiitake chicken stew, and golden soup fatty beef… of course, without the preserved sauerkraut.
After finishing breakfast, Chairman ng proficiently went through his morning hygiene routine, changed into a casual sports outfit, and washed his high-end suit to dry it on the balcony.
Everything felt as usual.
Satisfied that he hadn’t missed anything, ng Xu picked up the weapons he had brought in the day before.
The baseball bat and the wrench.
Both weapons were battle-tested, the dried blood on them attesting to their achievents.
ng Xu was very accustod to using them, though he thought the baseball bat might be due for an upgrade. But for now, there was no better weapon, so he’d wait and see.
After tidying up, ng Xu stretched and then stepped out of his ho.
The neighbors’ enthusiasm was unstoppable. As soon as ng Xu stepped out, he heard a series of ‘bang bang’ sounds from the neighbors’ house next door, seemingly sothing banging on the door. Familiar with the situation, ng Xu cheerfully called out a ‘Good morning’ through the door before energetically heading downstairs.
It was the fourth day, and he had no idea what the current situation was.
Why hasn’t there been any rescue or establishnt of a safe zone yet? Surely, there must be so form of quarantine by now.
As he reached the third floor, ng Xu suddenly heard a rustling sound, like a security door turning.
“Huh?”
ng Xu paused, then was greatly surprised.
Could zombies open doors now?
With that in mind, ng Xu raised the wrench in his hand, ready to deal with whatever might co.
Soon, the security door of room 301 wobbled open, leaving a small gap. A disheveled middle-aged woman, looking extrely sloppy, peeked through, her eye observing ng Xu.
ng Xu recognized her. She was his downstairs neighbor with a son approximately in middle school.
Every night, her son played the piano, and on weekends, he saw her taking her son to classes. Because the soundproofing was poor, sotis he could hear her scolding the child and the child’s crying.
ng Xu rembered her particularly well because she once knocked on his door to complain about him playing gas without headphones. ng Xu had been perplexed as he played gas quietly.
However…
ng Xu noticed a hint of greed and excitent in her eyes.
【Occupation: Full-ti Mom】
【Level: 4】
Reading the situation, ng Xu realized she wasn’t a zombie. Instead, she was a level 4 full-ti mom, yet…
Sothing still felt off to him.
Adjusting his stance, ng Xu asked, “Aunt Zhao, why are you acting so sneaky? Did a burglar get in?”
“Xiao ng, where are you off to?”
Aunt Zhao’s deanor seed a bit off, and she instinctively responded to ng Xu’s voice.
“? I’m heading to the Bureau of Comrce, handling so paperwork.” ng Xu replied kindly.
“You know, starting a company, the procedures can be a bit botherso.”
“What’s going on with you, with your hair all ssy? You should tidy up a bit. If I didn’t recognize you, I’d think a lunatic escaped from the asylum.”
Hearing ng Xu’s genuine concern, Aunt Zhao seed taken aback.
You’re calling
crazy?
Look at your state first, maybe you should treat yourself.
After a mont of daze, Aunt Zhao also gave a kind smile, “Xiao ng, I just finished cooking. Would you like to co in and have a taste?”
She gestured for ng Xu to enter.
Seeing this, ng Xu was about to decline when a line of dazzling golden text suddenly appeared before his eyes.
【Creating harmonious neighborly relationships is a crucial step towards a perfect life. A perfect life requires kindness towards others! It seems Aunt Zhao on the third floor has so worries regarding her son. Go help resolve them.】
【Task Triggered: Resolve Aunt Zhao and Her Son’s Troubles.】
【Task Rewards: Points
2, Yuan
5000, Freely Allocatable Attribute Point
0.5, and a chance to obtain Aunt Zhao’s Career Recomndation Letter.】
Well, well.
ng Xu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Such a good deal?
The first three rewards didn’t matter much. What caught his eye was the last one.
A profession recomndation letter!
Encouraged by this thought, ng Xu straightened up, and casually said, “Alright, what’s for dinner?”
His tone was so natural, it felt as if he had walked into his own ho.
Seeing ng Xu so at ease, Aunt Zhao was montarily stunned, then enthusiastically opened the door wide.
“Co in, co in!”
With such a warm welco, ng Xu stepped into the house.
Inside, the view broadened.
ng Xu could see that the place was spotlessly clean, clearly benefiting from daily cleaning.
Though the floor was shiny and clean, ng Xu could sll a faint scent of blood.
In the corners, there were so blood spatters.
Looking around, ng Xu sat on the sofa and asked, “Auntie, where’s your son?”
“Have so water.”
Aunt Zhao poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table, giving a creepy smile, “You an Xiaowei? He’s in his room playing on the computer… Would you like to check on him?”
“I’ll skip the water.”
Shaking his head, ng Xu stood up and walked to Xiaowei’s bedroom door, finding it tightly closed.
He gently knocked on the door and imdiately heard a growling sound from the other side.
It seed Xiaowei had turned into a zombie.
ng Xu understood instantly. Just then, he sensed a gust of wind behind him. Barely dodging in ti, he saw Aunt Zhao wielding a heavy axe, her eyes bloodshot.
Her attempt to strike had failed, easily evaded by ng Xu.
“Oh, Aunt Zhao, are you attacking ? That axe swing could’ve been attempted murder if it hit.”
Yawning, ng Xu looked at Aunt Zhao and said, “But if I hit you with this wrench, it’ll be self-defense.”
ng Xu’s nonsensical words didn’t deter Aunt Zhao, who appeared crazed, shouting, “My son is hungry and can’t eat food! Co on, Xiao ng, co on! You have no family anyway, so co on!”
“My son usually only eats vegetables! Don’t worry, Xiao ng, go play with my darling son!”
Shaking his head, ng Xu responded, “Only eats vegetables? What? Is he a vegetarian and only eats coma patients?”
This crazy Aunt Zhao seed ntally unstable.
ntal illness is really scary.
I’m glad I’m a normal person.
