Life is like a play, and the apocalypse is also a life-and-death game.
Win, and reap abundant rewards, ascending to the pinnacle of life.
Lose, and lose everything, facing either death or subservience.
Wang Yu glanced at the sky.
"Unknowingly, it's already the twelfth day..."
He turned to look at Hu Niu, "Let's go, come with me for some practice."
The others had already set off, expected to clear all the zombies in the entire campus by noon.
Wang Yu was now preparing to take Hu Niu outside the school to hone her skills.
Before, she was a tiger, and now she's human. Her combat style against zombies definitely needed some readjustment.
Hu Niu nodded excitedly, raising two pink pure metal baseball bats, "Hooray! Let's go kill zombies!"
Wang Yu: "..."
He had previously let Hu Niu choose her weapon. She said she didn't like sharp things like swords, and that they were too flat and lacked a good feel.
She wanted to choose a mace, saying it was heavier and felt better in hand.
However, Wang Yu refused.
A mace might be fine against other creatures, but it was impractical against zombies.
Zombies didn't fear pain, nor did they understand fear. A mace would be no better than a steel bar.
At least the zombies wouldn't get stuck on the bones.
In the end, Hu Niu chose metal baseball bats.
But while the quality of those things was good, they were still somewhat lacking as weapons for Hu Niu.
Wang Yu then ordered people to work day and night to produce custom baseball bats.
Since Hu Niu liked pink, they made them pink for her.
A total of four were made, each weighing fifty pounds, taking three days to complete.
This morning, after dawn, Wang Yu went into the secret realm to retrieve them.
It had to be said, while these two bats would be unusable for ordinary people, Hu Niu wielded them with skill.
They appeared to be quite powerful.
The two arrived outside the perimeter wall. As soon as they landed, several zombies noticed them.
They flailed their limbs and rushed towards the pair.
Then, more and more zombies discovered Wang Yu and Hu Niu, their mouths agape and claws extended as they hurried over.
Hu Niu was eager to fight. Wang Yu reminded her from behind, "Don't forget, you need to cripple their heads to kill them."
"Got it!"
Hu Niu charged forward and struck a lunging zombie on the right with a bat.
The latter's head instantly exploded like a watermelon, scattering dark red blood and white brain matter everywhere.
"One!"
Hu Niu spun around and swung the bat in her left hand heavily at the second zombie to her right!
It also accurately hit its head, shattering its skull.
"Two!"
Then, she rushed towards other zombies, swinging her pink baseball bats and smashing their skulls one by one, leaving red and white splatters all over the ground.
...
Wang Yu watched Hu Niu, dressed in a white t-shirt and denim shorts, slaughtering zombies in the horde.
The words "humanoid beast" couldn't help but appear in his mind.
This was even more ferocious than a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The battle was completely one-sided.
Zombies didn't know pain, nor did they know fear.
They could only sense the rich scent of flesh and blood from Hu Niu, which was many times stronger than that of other ordinary people!
Even Wang Yu, standing behind her, was ignored as they surged towards Hu Niu.
Hu Niu was like a spinning whirlwind, constantly rotating.
The bats in her hands moved non-stop, leaving trails of afterimages.
After a while, Hu Niu was still shouting "Ya ya ya," and the zombies around her had piled up into a small mound.
"Enough, Hu Niu, come back."
Wang Yu hadn't been idle either; he had taken the opportunity to collect most of the insect crystals.
He actually didn't care much about these insect crystals, but every little bit counts, and it was better than leaving them for the zombies.
Hu Niu, obediently, killed a few more zombies before returning to Wang Yu's side.
The two then jumped back over the wall and returned to the school.
...
Upon returning, Wang Yu asked Hu Niu to bathe and change her clothes.
Because she was covered in zombie blood. Although Wang Yu had conducted anti-toxicity tests on her before, and with her physique, she wouldn't be infected by ordinary corpse poison.
But being covered in blood and grime was never good, especially for such a cute and beautiful girl. Why should she be dirty?
"Master, that..." Hu Niu tugged on Wang Yu's hand, "I don't know how to wash myself yet. The maids always washed me before."
Wang Yu frowned slightly, "That's not right. Didn't Xin Ci teach you how to bathe?"
Hu Niu chuckled foolishly, "Sister taught me, but I still don't know how..."
Wang Yu sighed slightly, unexpectedly facing the troubles of raising a child at his age.
There was no other way. He had to take Hu Niu into the secret realm and have the maid teach her how to bathe.
