This would become his first safe base

Michal didn't care what others thought and directly pulled Wendy upstairs.

…

Soon, strange sex sounds started coming from upstairs,

"Yes, yes!!!..."

Simona said, "Why is she saying no one moment and yes the next? What is she trying to express?"

Vera replied, "That's just her mouth saying no while her body says yes, right?"

Simona commented, "This aloof school belle is really wild! She said she didn't want to go upstairs, but now she's screaming loud enough for the whole building to hear!"

Vera glanced at Simona and said, "If you're jealous, you could have asked to go up yourself. Michal did ask you, but you didn't volunteer."

Simona blushed and retorted, "Why would I be jealous? Don't talk nonsense! Who wants to go up there, huh!"

"Oh, you don't want to go up there? Then why is your face so red, and your breathing getting faster? You dare to call Wendy hypocritical, but you're just the same!" Vera teased Simona with a laugh.

"Of course not! Who would want that!" Simona continued to argue.

"Yeah, sure, but when you get back to your room, don't secretly do masturbate yourself!" Vera continued to tease.

"I wouldn't! You're so dirty! And you call yourself a big star, huh!" Simona, her face red, returned to her room.

"I'm... I'm going to rest too!" Ballet teacher Eileen, fearing Vera would tease her next, quickly retreated to her room.

Watching the two girls run away shyly, Vera had an amused look on her face.

What a pair of shy girls!

…

The next day, Michal woke up to find the sun already high in the sky. It was past 10 a.m.

Next to him, Wendy was still asleep.

Looking at her perfect figure and cute face, Michal couldn't resist pinching her flawless, baby-fat cheek and said, "Hey, Wendy, wake up."

"Mmm~?" Wendy murmured with her eyes closed. Exhausted from last night, she was still tired and mumbled, "I haven't slept enough yet. I don't want to get up. You almost wore me out last night. Let me sleep a bit more."

"Worn out? I didn't even say I'm tired, so why are you?" Michal joked, pinching her cheek again.

"You're no Ordinary oxen, maybe, but you're like an indomitable Indian sacred bull!" Wendy replied, annoyed.

She hadn't expected Michal to be so relentless, saying he'd go on for two hours and actually doing it.

He almost wore her out!

"Hahaha! You're so funny," Michal laughed, amused by the beautiful school belle.

"What's so funny. Tonight, go find someone else. I can't handle you anymore!" Wendy said, exasperated.

"Alright, alright! Next time I'll be gentler. Let's get up and have breakfast," Michal said. He got up, washed up, and had breakfast with the girls before starting his plans for the day.

Today, he intended to search the entire residential area for survivors and eliminate zombies.

If possible, he aimed to clear the entire neighborhood, turning it into a safe zone. Once the gates were closed, no zombies could get in.

Then everyone inside could move freely.

This would become his first safe base!

And so the search began.

Michal started actively searching the residential area.

The area had 45 villas and 10 high-rise buildings.

The 45 villas were sparsely populated, with few survivors and few zombies.

However, the 10 high-rises housed hundreds of families, with at least a thousand residents.

At least 700 of them had turned into zombies.

Even if some were still alive, many would have been eaten by the zombies.

The likelihood of becoming a zombie after infection was too high.

It exceeded two-thirds.

This meant that in a family of three, two people would likely become zombies, leaving the third person as a normal human. It's impossible for one person to fight off two zombies, right?

The final outcome would just be getting eaten.

So, in high-rise buildings, there probably weren't many survivors.

Thus, Michal focused his main efforts on the villas.

Each villa had four floors.

Even if two out of three family members turned into zombies, as long as they weren't on the same floor, the people upstairs wouldn't be eaten, making the likelihood of survivors higher.

Michal decided to search for survivors in the villas and then lock the doors of the high-rise buildings, trapping the zombies inside.

Michal started searching from the first villa.

This time, his exploration wasn't about directly rescuing people but about assessing which villas had survivors and which had zombies. This preliminary assessment would make the actual rescue operation much more efficient and targeted.

The first villa was empty.

The villa's door was wide open, suggesting that during the initial outbreak, the door wasn't closed, or the survivors had fled, leaving it open.

The villa was empty—no zombies, no survivors, no supplies, nothing.

Michal came to the second villa.

Inside, he found two zombies and a mutilated corpse on the ground.

It seemed that this villa originally housed a family of three, with two members turning into zombies and the remaining one getting eaten by them.

The corpse appeared to be a little girl.

It seemed her parents turned into zombies while she didn't, but she was ultimately eaten by her zombie parents.

Seeing this scene, Michal felt a pang of sorrow.

Parents should be the ones who love and protect their children the most, but once turned into zombies, they lose all humanity, even attacking their own offspring.

This virus turned people into mindless, emotionless monsters.

From the moment they were infected, they were essentially dead.

Michal raised his fire axe and killed the two zombies, putting them out of their misery.

He then moved on to the next villa.

The third villa also had no survivors and no zombies.

Michal then checked the fourth villa.

Again, no zombies or survivors.

However, on his way to the fifth villa, he encountered two zombies.

Michal used ice needles to eliminate them without hesitation.

At this moment, he didn't want to engage in close combat and risk attracting more zombies with the noise.

The fifth villa had no survivors, so Michal proceeded to the sixth.

The sixth villa had its door tightly shut, obviously locked from the inside.

This piqued Michal's interest. He scaled the three-meter-high wall and jumped inside.

Upon entering the courtyard, Michal smelled the strong scent of fresh blood.

This scent was distinct from the rotten stench of zombies, indicating fresh human blood.

Michal frowned.

Could there be zombies inside that had just eaten someone?

He continued further inside.

He found the bodies of a man and a woman, both zombies, with their heads smashed in. It looked like they had been bludgeoned with a blunt object, and their blood had dried, indicating they had been dead for a while, likely killed at the outbreak's onset.

Michal proceeded to the kitchen where he heard noises. He approached cautiously.

Peering inside, he was shocked by what he saw.

Two men were hacking at a woman's leg with kitchen knives.
