"You see, he is my man. And anyone that is not ? Well, he sees no point in keeping them alive," I said, shaking my head at the woman. "But if you don't believe , you can always see for yourself."
"What do you want?" demanded one of the n, coming forward. He towered over , and I could see a smirk growing on the woman's face. Awe, did she really think that he could do sothing to before Liu Yu Zeng blew her brains out? How cute.
"I am pretty sure that we wanted to be left alone," I replied, looking up at the man. "But that, apparently, didn't work for your friend," I continued, nodding my head in the direction of the man who was cradling his broken arm.
"How did you get the zombies to not eat you?" asked the man standing in front of .
"By taking a play from your girlfriend's book and offering them you guys instead," I answered with a shrug. There was a pause before my words managed to sink in. Letting out a loud yell, the man reached out to grab , only to be brought up short by the sound of a gunshot.
"Oops," smiled Liu Yu Zeng as the woman dropped to the ground, dead. "Sorry. You reached for my woman; I got a bit antsy."
The man looked at the dead woman, his eyes wide with shock. "You killed a woman," he said, looking up at Liu Yu Zeng and then back down at the woman.
"In his defense," I said, pulling out a gun of my own. "I did warn you guys."
The man, who I could only assu was the leader of this team, lunged at , the rest of his n following suit. However, before he could actually touch , he was blocked by a light purple hand and tossed into the middle of the zombie horde.
Unlike when I experienced the sa thing, the leader was left to hit the ground, getting the air knocked out of him before the zombies descended. Screams and cries of pain could be heard for a few minutes until there was nothing but silence.
I looked at my n, and they quietly backed away, leaving more than enough room for the zombies sneaking up behind them to have access. Nodding to the Alpha, I went to join my n around Cerberus, giving the zombies a chance to finish up their lunch.
"You okay, Princess?" asked Chen Zi Han.
"Yup," I replied with a smile. "But I never thought I would experience a day where the zombies would save from humans." He grunted and pulled into his embrace as the fighting intensified. Fortunately for the zombies, there was no strong enough fire user to actually cause them much damage.
"Okay?" asked the Alpha as he ca over. Looking up and down, he grunted. "Okay."
"Yes," I assure him with a smile. "Your horde managed to catch in ti."
"Good," he grunted.
"Can you tell what has been happening lately?" I asked, the majority of my attention on the fight. I didn't want to intercede and kill the humans simply because then they wouldn't be as appetizing to the zombies.
The Alpha turned around to supervise his horde and crossed his arms. "Lots of food. Good eating," he said after a few minutes.
I nodded my head. "That's good. If you don't mind, we are going to take off. We have to get to City I by the end of the week."
The Alpha grunted and nodded his head. Walking away to rip the heads off of one of the n trying to hide in the forest, he waved us away and enjoyed his snack.
"I definitely did not see any of this coming," grumbled Liu Yu Zeng as he and the other guys got on their bikes.
"I didn't think I would have more sympathy for zombies than I would for humans," I said with a smile as Cerberus took off, skirting around the fight and continuing on our journey.

Bin An Sha looked at the gates outside of City A and wondered if he was really ready to return. After being left unexpectedly in City H, he had traveled around the country looking for his Queen as well as developing more effective ways of fighting the zombies.
But after all these years, he was tired of constantly moving around.
Moving up to the front of the line, he looked at the guard just outside the first gate. "Na?" asked the guard, not bothering to look up from his paperwork.
"Doctor Bin An Sha," he answered.
"Power user or Asymptomatic?"
"Power user."
"Type?"
"Healer." At his word, the guard's head shot up, and he stared at Bin An Sha in amazent.
"Healer?" he asked, his breath catching at the very idea there could be two healers in City A. That alone would make them the most powerful city in the whole country. Then again, Wu Bai Hee deserved nothing less than to have two healers.
"Correct," said Bin An Sha. He had very quickly learned just how revered being a healer was in this new world where a single scratch could be the difference between life and death.
"Right this way, Sir," said guard before quickly speaking into his walkie-talkie. The first gate rose, and then the second one. The third one remained closed, but that was to be expected. "What type of housing would you prefer?"
"My own," sneered Bin An Sha as he gave the soldier his address. After a brief communication between the guard and another person, the guard looked at Bin An Sha with a smile.
"That address is vacant. You can move in right away. Would you like soone to co clean it for you before then?"
"No," grunted Bin An Sha. Nothing would drive him crazier than to know that soone had been in his condo without his knowledge for any reason, even cleaning it.
"Understood, and let just tell you, Sir. You are incredibly lucky. The First Lady of City A is in the condo next to you. She is amazing and is the reason why City A is prospering the way it is," explained the guard as he personally escorted Bin An Sha through all of the different checkpoints.
Bin An Sha looked at the man beside him and grunted at the fanatical look in his eye.
"Fucking spirit user," he grumbled under his breath.
