Jiu Mazi ran to a nearby shop, turned his back to the outside, and took some food out of his backpack.

Wu Yatu didn’t follow him inside.

In her eyes, Jiu Mazi was nothing more than prey. It didn’t matter where she killed him, as long as she could eat him afterward.

Jiu Mazi excitedly brought out a bag of food, his eyes fixed on Wu Yatu’s face.

"Beautiful lady, what’s your name? My name is Jiu Mazi."

"Oh? My name is Wu Yatu."

"By the way, is that a protective suit you’re wearing? Do you have any extras?"

Wu Yatu’s goal was clear. Having already figured out what kind of person Jiu Mazi was, she didn’t bother beating around the bush.

Jiu Mazi’s expression stiffened, and his eyes flickered.

Was she really asking him for a protective suit outright?

No way.

A protective suit cost fifty points.

Besides, he was already offering her a bag of food.

Was this woman genuinely ignorant of etiquette, or was she pretending to be foolish and asking for something without offering anything in return?

Although Jiu Mazi was lecherous, he wasn’t willing to make a deal without getting something in return.

"Yes, I have one, but these protective suits are very expensive. Of course, I can give you the food for free. After all, it isn’t easy for a beauty like you to survive in the apocalypse."

"But as for the protective suit..."

Jiu Mazi deliberately left the sentence unfinished and simply stared at Wu Yatu.

At that moment, he had completely forgotten that he had just escaped from a horde of zombies.

Or perhaps he hadn’t realized that he was already being led around by the nose.

Wu Yatu suddenly laughed, though there was no warmth in her eyes.

"I understand. But you have to give it to me first. What if you change your mind afterward?"

"Besides, I’m so weak. There’s no way I could outrun a grown man like you, so you shouldn’t mind letting me have it first, right?"

Jiu Mazi suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

After carefully looking Wu Yatu up and down, however, he realized that she had a point.

A delicate-looking woman like her was obviously no match for him.

But...

Was it really worth spending fifty points just to play around with a woman once?

Then an idea suddenly occurred to Jiu Mazi.

"Right! Why would I spend points on another protective suit?"

"There isn’t anyone around here, and there aren’t any zombies nearby either. We can just go to the shop next door."

As he spoke, Jiu Mazi’s expression suddenly changed.

Wu Yatu noticed the change in his gaze and immediately understood what he was thinking.

A cold smile curled at the corners of her lips.

She had originally planned to trick this man into handing over something useful before killing him.

She hadn’t expected his mind to be filled with nothing but lust.

Since that was the case...

Then there was no need to waste any more time.

Whether she obtained a protective suit or not didn’t really matter.

Before Wu Yatu could make a move, however, she suddenly looked up in a certain direction.

Song Xizheng quickly ducked out of sight.

His eyes widened, and his heart pounded violently in his chest.

For some reason, he had a very strong feeling that there was something wrong with the person holding the umbrella.

That person gave him an inexplicable sense of danger.

He had overheard their conversation from below.

Was this person really a survivor who had come out of a nearby base to search for food?

But how could someone from a base come all the way to this mall alone?

Song Xizheng swallowed hard and didn’t dare peek down again.

Wu Yatu narrowed her eyes.

Someone was spying on her?

Interesting.

After dealing with the prey in front of her, she would go and catch that little mouse as well.

But...

She couldn’t alert him yet.

"Hey, buddy. Why don’t we go somewhere else? It’s pretty dirty here."

Jiu Mazi’s eyes immediately lit up.

This beauty really was something.

Those slightly narrowed eyes seemed almost seductive, making his heart itch.

By the time Song Xizheng cautiously peeked out again, Jiu Mazi had already left with the umbrella-wielding woman.

Song Xizheng mustered his courage and glanced outside a few more times before quickly ducking back.

He sat on the ground and patted his wildly beating heart.

He felt as though someone had been watching him.

Fortunately, the shelter was absolutely safe.

As long as he didn’t lose his mind and run outside, he would be fine.

He already had enough food, so he could simply stay inside for the remaining two weeks.

If necessary, he could work harder in the next world and collect more supplies.

But...

What about Lin Yun?

He was a little worried that Lin Yun might encounter that umbrella-wielding person when she went outside.

That person was definitely not as simple as she appeared.

...

Wu Yatu led Jiu Mazi to a nearby house.

She looked around and frowned slightly.

The place was filthy.

But it was good enough.

She was only here to kill someone, after all.

"Are you sure you want to stay here? It’s pretty dirty. Can you stand it?"

Jiu Mazi was somewhat dissatisfied with the place, but he didn’t care.

As long as he could have his fun, that was all that mattered.

"Yes, I’m sure. You should take off your protective suit, though. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to continue."

Wu Yatu’s voice was still slightly hoarse, but when she lowered it, there was an almost seductive quality to it.

Jiu Mazi’s eyes widened.

"Okay, okay! I’ll take it off right now!"

He hurriedly removed his protective suit.

Wu Yatu leaned closer and reached out to touch him.

"You said you escaped from the mall, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Your companions are still inside. How could you leave them behind and run away alone?"

She smiled faintly.

"You should go back down and join them."

The moment she finished speaking, Wu Yatu’s delicate fingers suddenly transformed into sharp claws.

They pierced straight through Jiu Mazi’s chest.

"You... you..."

Jiu Mazi finally snapped out of the haze Wu Yatu had put him in.

His eyes widened in shock.

It was that zombie!

The very same zombie that had killed Scarface!

The image of Scarface’s heart being pierced from behind and torn out was still vivid in his mind.

He had never imagined that the zombie responsible for killing his boss could look and behave almost exactly like a human.

Recalling the moment he first encountered Wu Yatu, Jiu Mazi suddenly understood.

This zombie wasn’t merely high-level.

Its appearance, voice, and behavior could all be used to deceive its prey.

Wu Yatu pulled Jiu Mazi’s heart from his chest.

His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were wide with disbelief as he tried to scream, but his rapidly weakening body could no longer produce a sound.

Wu Yatu found a relatively clean spot and sat down.

Right in front of Jiu Mazi, who was still barely alive, she tore pieces from his heart and slowly ate them one by one.

Jiu Mazi stared at her helplessly.

As the heart in her hand gradually disappeared, the light in his eyes finally faded.

He took his last breath.

"Really... so fragile."

By now, Wu Yatu’s voice had improved considerably.

Although it was still slightly hoarse, it carried a strange and alluring charm.

She glanced at the protective suit lying nearby and chuckled.

She decided to eat all of Jiu Mazi’s internal organs first.

Human organs were all good things.

They were extremely nourishing.

Wu Yatu crouched beside the corpse.

Her two sharp claws slowly moved across Jiu Mazi’s body.
