That Was Embarrassing!

"Let's go. I will deal with the zombie inside. You stay here with the child."

After saying this, Lu Wuqi waited for Yun Qingyue to answer and only moved forward when the latter nodded.

She gently held the wooden door of the washroom. Her right hand held the natal dagger and the left hand silently clutched the door handle and gently twisted it downwards.

As the handle lock was pushed downwards, a mechanical click sound sounded in the quite room which was particularly obvious because of the quietness of the surroundings. Lu Wuqi felt the lock opening and she slightly pushed the door open to reveal a gap which was enough for them to see what was inside.

Thankfully, the washroom's one way glass window was open wide which allowed the moonlight to illuminate the whole area and Lu Wuqi could see the inside of the washroom carefully.

She saw that no zombie was near the door and immediately pushed it open and the whole view of the Washroom came into their eyes.

Lu Wuqi immediately spotted the zombie which was standing on the opposite end of the wall of the washroom. They could only see it's back but the zombie was banging it's head hard on the wall and blood stains could also be seen there which seemed particularly eerie and terrifying.

Lu Wuqi stepped inside the washroom and the door was wide open as Yun Qingyue stood there with the child in her arms.

Perhaps because it heard the sound of door opening, the zombie which was facing opposite of them immediately turned around and faced Lu Wuqi with its horrific appearance.

The zombie immediately became excited after seeing a human and started walking slowly towards her. 

And just when Lu Wuqi was about to prepare herself, one of the bathroom cubicle's door was swung open inside the washroom as another zombie walked out from there. It probably also heard their sound and immediately came out of it's dormant state after hearing the sound of a human being.

Lu Wuqi now faced two zombies right infront of her and there was about a meter distance between them. A tall male zombie was in the lead and this was the zombie which was banging it's head on the wall.

The two zombies also noticed Lu Wuqi's movements and the smell of living human and became particularly excited. The tall male zombie in the lead seemed to be a little faster and more excited than the other zombie and rushed straight towards Lu Wuqi.

The zombie had a horrible face. One of his eyeballs had burst out, and his eye sockets were oozing something that was not sure whether it was the white of the eye or blood. It was sticky and looked more disgusting than a slug. His shoulder seemed to have been bitten by another zombie, and black blood was still oozing out. A hoarse roar that was not human came out of his throat.

Lu Wuqi was obviously high in alert and didn't dare to neglect it at all. She reacted quickly, took two steps forward and raised her right foot and kicked the tall male zombie hard on it's chest. The male zombie was immediately knocked back by the force of her kick but didn't fall down because he directly hit the other shorter male zombie behind him. The two zombies were already unsteady on their feet and were trying hard to regain balance.

Lu Wuqi immediately spotted her opportunity and held the natal dagger tightly with both her hands and swung it directly on the neck of the taller male zombie. As a previous mercenary who had decades of experience, Lu Wuqi executed the perfect chopping and the natal dagger went in the exact spot that she wanted it to. 

At first, Lu Wuqi thought that she would definitely feel some obstruction when the cutting the neck but the moment the natal dagger chopped down on the neck of the zombie, it directly severed it's neck and the spine without a single obstruction like cutting a soft tofu!! So much so that she was unprepared and almost lost her balance and was about to fall to the other side!

But she reacted quickly and immediately regained her balance. Unfortunately because of this unexpected surprise, she couldn't get away in time and the disgusting dark blood of the zombie directly splattered on her whole body.

But at the moment her attention was attracted by the natal dagger in her hand and she couldn't help but feel the difference after this fight. This dagger was unusually sharper and she could feel that when she swung it, the power behind the force of the strike was definitely many times more than before when she used the kitchen knife!

The human spine is extremely hard and generally speaking, even when she was at her peak form when she was a mercenary in her previous life, she still faced some obstruction when she used to cut the neck of an enemy and that too with the best knife available in the world. However after the previous chop, Lu Wuqi was much more confident in encountering zombies and was sure that she wouldn't need to find any other weapon as this natal dagger was the best weapon that she could ever get.

At this moment, Lu Wuqi noticed the blood on her body and couldn't help but frown as the extremely nasty fishy smell was too overbearing, it was even stronger than the smell of rotten fish. If Lu Wuqi hadn't been an experienced mercenary, she probably would have already vomited from the disgusting scent of the blood.

But Lu Wuqi didn't dare to be distracted as the other short male zombie was still coming towards her with a groaning scream.

She immediately stepped forward and came closer towards the zombie and the zombie also swung it's arms towards her as it wanted to bite her to death but Lu Wuqi side stepped to avoid it and directly slashed at its neck with the natal dagger. And just like before, the natal dagger severed the head of the zombie quite easily. 

This time she was prepared and immediately stepped away from the zombies so that the blood doesn't spill on her.

"Congratulations , host! For obtaining two level 1 zombie crystal cores."

Lu Wuqi heard the enthusiastic voice of the system in her mind and was a little satisfied after seeing the number of zombie crystal cores changing from 0 to 2. 

At this time, Yun Qingyue has already come closer towards her but maintained a distance away from her and it could be seen from her frowning eyebrows that the smell of blood on her body was too unbearable.

Little Yunyue also seems to have woken up at some point as she stared at Lu Wuqi with her round big eyes and said with a little hesitation in her childish voice,

"I-is m-mommy okay??"

After hearing the little child's question, Lu Wuqi felt a little warm in her heart and said in a very coaxing tone,

"It's okay. It's not my blood. Mommy is strong right. Look, mommy has already dealt with those two bad guys and they will not be able to harm our little Yunyue anymore." 

Little Yunyue was obviously happier after hearing her mommy's response as well as the doting tone in her voice made her much more approachable than before.

Then, little Yunyue suddenly seems to have smelled the bad smell on Lu Wuqi's body and immediately turned around to bury her whole face in Yun Qingyue's arms and said in a muffled tone,

"Mommy smells bad!!"

Hearing her childish voice, Lu Wuqi couldn't help but feel funny as she laughed out with a little sound and said,

"Haha.. yes. I do smell bad right."

At this point, Yun Qingyue suddenly said in her same cold voice but the obvious worry in them was very evident,

"It's good that you are okay. But be more careful. I just saw how you suddenly lost your balance after dealing with the first zombie."

At the mention of that incident, Lu Wuqi immediately felt embarrassed. After all, she was a mercenary with decades of experience but she actually lost balance in such a critical moment. It was a stain in her pride as a mercenary boss and she obviously wanted to just forget that but Yun Qingyue remembered it and even told her to be more careful.

"Ahem.... Yes- yes.. I will be.....
