Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Tender Bandaged Lady [Requesting monthly votes!]
Mu Rufeng slept soundly.
However, from time to time, the sound of knocking at his door irritated him immensely.
But he was too sleepy to pay attention to the knocking.
The knocking did not last long, only occurring sporadically.
After an indeterminate amount of time, some noises came from outside the door.
Mu Rufeng continued to sleep deeply.
In an instant, the clock struck midnight.
As soon as it was past midnight, a fierce wind blew throughout Crimson Preferred.
The dense fog above the sky was blown away, revealing a Blood Moon.
The blood-red moonlight poured down, casting a bloody hue over the entire Logistics Park.
Mu Rufeng, who had been sound asleep, suddenly jolted awake from his dreams.
He opened his eyes to see a face wrapped in bandages before him.
Such a sight would frighten the soul out of anyone.
Yet, Mu Rufeng asked calmly, "Bandaged Lady, why are you standing at my bed and not sleeping?"
As his words fell, the Bandaged Lady's mouth split open, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
Then her mouth opened and closed, as if she was speaking, but no sound came out.
Although Mu Rufeng did not understand lip-reading, he could still make out the simple words she was forming.
"You, are speaking!" These were the words spoken by the Bandaged Lady.
"I am speaking?" Mu Rufeng pondered, then suddenly he thought of the first item in the "Dormitory Guidelines."
1. Please keep quiet.
Just as the literal meaning, one must keep quiet.
So, did Mu Rufeng break this rule by speaking just now?
No, that's not right, there was also the seventh item.
7. When there are no outsiders in the dormitory, it is absolutely safe.
Both he and the Bandaged Lady were residents of the dormitory, not outsiders.
In this situation, didn't the first item conflict with the seventh?
Thinking of this, Mu Rufeng spoke again, "Are you trying to fight me? Under Rule Seven, you shouldn't be able to do anything to me, right?"
"How do you know I am a resident of this dormitory?" The hoarse voice of the Bandaged Lady slowly sounded.
"Huh? You aren't from room 301?" Mu Rufeng was slightly shocked.
When he entered the room, the first person he saw was the Bandaged Lady, so he naturally assumed she was a dorm-mate.
Bandaged Lady was female staff, and logically, she shouldn't share a dormitory with male staff.
But Mu Rufeng felt that one should not think normally here, so he didn't ponder further, and unexpectedly...
In the next moment, the Bandaged Lady moved.
The bandages on her body suddenly unraveled, revealing her charred black body underneath.
The strong smell of burning filled Mu Rufeng's nostrils.
The unraveling bandages instantly wrapped around Mu Rufeng's body, tightly encasing him in an instant.
"Ah, a real living person, not those soulless clones from the cafeteria."
"Let's see, where should I start eating first?"
The Bandaged Lady swallowed, as if she had encountered some unparalleled delicacy.
"Blood, I need to drink the blood first."
The Bandaged Lady licked her lips, sitting on the bed.
Then, she abruptly scooped Mu Rufeng horizontally into her embrace.
The neck has always been the best spot for blood-sucking.
The Bandaged Lady just blew a breath of air, and the bandage on the neck unraveled, revealing Mu Rufeng's bronzed skin.
Unable to restrain herself any longer, the Bandaged Lady bit down sharply on Mu Rufeng's neck.
With a crisp "clang!" sound.
The teeth of Bandaged Lady seemed to bite down on steel.
"What... what's going on?" Bandaged Lady was a bit bewildered.
She had never expected that she couldn't bite through this living person.
"Squeak squeak creak~~!"
The sound of teeth grinding began.
Bandaged Lady was suddenly taken aback, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bite through Mu Rufeng's skin.
Just then, a large hand suddenly pressed on her.
A massive force arrived, making Bandaged Lady's body lean backward.
Mu Rufeng slowly sat up straight.
At some unknown time, he had already broken free from the bandages on his body.
In Mu Rufeng's left hand, he still held a bundle of bandages, which squirmed continuously but couldn't break free from Mu Rufeng's grasp.
"Although you're burned and have a charred smell, I can still smell the bloodiness in your body."
"Since I was born, aside from consuming pig blood and blood duck, I've never drunk any other blood."
"Although the conditions aren't great, I'm not picky."
As Mu Rufeng finished speaking, he opened his mouth, and a pair of sharp zombie teeth was revealed.
"You... you..." Bandaged Lady was shocked by this sudden scene.
"Thump thump thump!"
Suddenly, there was a knocking noise from the door.
"Shh! Don't speak."
Mu Rufeng whispered into Bandaged Lady's ear.
Then he stuffed the bundle of bandages right into Bandaged Lady's mouth, and his left hand covered her mouth.
Immediately afterward, Mu Rufeng bit down sharply on Bandaged Lady's tender neck.
Crisp and straightforward.
Bandaged Lady's body instantly stiffened.
And it also started to tremble faintly.
With time going on, the trembling lessened, but her body became increasingly rigid.
Throughout this period, the knocking on the door didn't cease and even became more urgent.
Just then, the knocking abruptly stopped.
From afar, Mu Rufeng heard the sound of a door closing.
Mu Rufeng released Bandaged Lady.
Bandaged Lady immediately fell onto the bed.
She opened her mouth wide, her body twisted, becoming more hunched and emaciated.
She was dead, Bandaged Lady was dead.
The remaining blood in her body, along with all her energy, had been drained by Mu Rufeng.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng's eyes were filled with blood, he felt no discomfort, only a sense of vibrant freshness.
His inner strength had grown even stronger.
Indeed, to become stronger, zombies need to suck blood—even if it's abnormal blood and even the ghost qi within her body had been drained by Mu Rufeng.
"Right, I remember she bought a lot of stuff."
Mu Rufeng immediately began to search through Bandaged Lady's body.
However, the moment he touched her, Bandaged Lady instantly turned into fine black sand, and in a moment, dissolved into black smoke and vanished.
Only a wriggling bundle of bandages was left.
"The bandage didn't disappear?" Mu Rufeng reached out and grabbed the bandage in his hand.
"Stinky Bandages": Due to being worn for a long time by someone who was burnt to an abnormality, it has become stinky. Washing seems to dispel the smell.
Effect: Possesses extremely strong toughness and elasticity, impervious to blade and fire, can extend up to sixty-six feet, and can accelerate healing when wrapped around a wound.
"Ah? It seems like an item, a good thing indeed."
Mu Rufeng was slightly surprised.
