My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

The sun was setting in the west.

The dark streets were filled with corpses scattered everywhere.

At the street corner, a burnt-out car emitted a ‘sizzling’ sound, as if some creature inside was gnawing on chunks of meat, occasionally letting out low, growling roars that sent shivers down one’s spine.

From time to time, zombies passed by, their teeth bared and their bloodshot eyes gleaming with hunger. Their terror did not diminish with dusk’s arrival; if anything, it grew even more horrifying.

A staggering, disheveled figure was dodging through the streets, desperately trying to suppress his breathing, striving to stay calm, his hand clutching a package of medication.

He was deeply anxious; his daughter at home was waiting for him to bring the medicine back.

But he had unwittingly strayed further and further from home.

In this dangerous apocalypse, Zhang Lunping experienced the coldness of human nature.

He had encountered a seemingly crazy young man who, despite the world ending, was still ‘driving a cab.’ The young man claimed to be the chairman of some Peace and Order Group… The work stress had finally made him snap the moment the apocalypse began.

But despite his madness, he was quite helpful.

Without his help, Zhang Lunping would have likely perished at the hands of zombies.

Later, upon arriving at a pharmacy, Zhang Lunping found it nearly empty. There were hardly any medicines left. But he scoured around and eventually found some cold and fever medicine in a small, remote pharmacy. Just as he was about to return home, he encountered a vile group of thugs!

Thinking about those men, Zhang Lunping couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Taking advantage of the apocalypse, they had become lawless. Afraid to confront zombies, they instead preyed on survivors, stealing their resources, and laughing as they fed the survivors to zombies!

There were six of them, but Zhang Lunping was alone.
His backpack was filled with medication.

Instantly, Zhang Lunping became the target of those beasts.

Perhaps their minds weren’t stable either, for they had chased Zhang Lunping all the way here, abandoning their original territory.

Zhang Lunping had even dropped some of his medicine, but they remained relentless in their pursuit.

“Huff~”

He exhaled deeply, gripped a kitchen knife tightly, and pressed himself against the wall, listening to the sound of zombies being hacked down in the alley. He glanced around, unsure of what to do.

Those guys were coming!

What now?

Just as Zhang Lunping was feeling conflicted, he noticed a small store at the street corner called ‘Xiaojun Supermarket.’

At the entrance of the store lay a zombie, its limbs broken and in an utterly miserable state.

He wondered who could have been so ruthless in killing this zombie!

But at that moment, Zhang Lunping made a firm decision.

If they didn’t want him to live, then they should all die!

His eyes filled with murderous intent, he gripped his knife and dashed toward ‘Xiaojun Supermarket.’

He planned to set an ambush inside Xiaojun Supermarket. If they didn’t find him, all the better.

If they did, he would fight to the death, aiming to take down two or three of them with him.

Resolute in his thoughts, Zhang Lunping, upon entering ‘Xiaojun Supermarket,’ was immediately engulfed in a chilling sensation, breaking out in a cold sweat!

Meng Xu, holding a blood-stained fire axe, stood inside the supermarket and calmly said, “This is my former employee’s store. If you’re here to steal, get lost. I forgive you on behalf of my former employee.”

Zhang Lunping: ???

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Lunping was momentarily stunned.

Upon seeing Zhang Lunping, Meng Xu also felt a sense of familiarity and uncertainly asked, “You look familiar. Did you buy my fried chicken cutlet or eat my fried sausage?”

Over the past two days, Meng Xu has experienced a lot and met many people.

He just felt that Zhang Lunping looked very familiar.

“Bro! It’s me.”

Suppressing his excitement, Zhang Lunping whispered to Meng Xu, “The one who caught a ride with you yesterday morning.”

“So it’s you.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Xu nodded, noticing Zhang Lunping’s breathless state, and immediately inquired with concern, “What happened to you? Were you chased by zombies? Where are the zombies? I got a new weapon; it’s way better than any baseball bat!”

Yes, Meng Xu was currently regretful that he hadn’t discarded the baseball bat earlier.

This weapon’s killing power was incredible! One swing and the zombie’s head would explode!

Much better than having to hit multiple times with a baseball bat!

He didn’t even want to use his wrench anymore.

Distressed, Zhang Lunping hadn’t expected to encounter Meng Xu here. He whispered, “It’s a long story, sorry, bro… I angered some scums, and I might bring trouble to you. If it were just me, I could stay here and fight them off, but we… we should leave. They’re afraid of zombies and won’t chase us at night!”

Hearing this, Meng Xu frowned and said, “No need, they’re already here.”

The boost in Constitution attribute also improved Meng Xu’s hearing.

Through all the trials and tribulations, Meng Xu had long learned to distinguish between the sounds of zombies and humans.

“There should only be two or three of them. Did you get into trouble with them?”

Meng Xu asked casually. He had a good impression of Zhang Lunping and was willing to help if needed.

Whispering, Zhang Lunping said, “They wanted to steal my medicine. When I encountered them, I saw them push a pregnant woman off a building, letting the zombies tear her apart!”

Hearing this, a cold edge surfaced in Meng Xu’s mind.

“Call 110 and report them to the police.”

Meng Xu said calmly, holding his fire axe and looking toward the entrance of the small store.

Although they had only spent a morning together, Zhang Lunping was already used to Meng Xu’s offbeat comments. He nodded and calmly made a 110-call.

Might as well; what else could he do?

“You sure can run! What, you ran back to your hometown?!”

Before the people arrived, their voices did.

Soon, a bald man with a beer belly and tattoos appeared in Meng Xu’s line of sight. He looked like a typical street thug.

Behind him were two similarly built men.

They were large and imposing, the kind of guys you’d expect to be formidable in a street fight.

After all, in street fights, it’s not just about muscle; it’s about weight.

Especially in the East, where ordinary people don’t carry firearms, weight often gives an advantage in fights.

“You should surrender. Murder leads to prison.”

Meng Xu yawned, speaking calmly, not taking these three people seriously.

He was a bit sleepy today and didn’t feel like conversing with them.

If they obediently went to the nearby police station to surrender and got themselves locked up to starve, Meng Xu might consider forgiving them.

【Occupation: Thug】
【Level: 2】

“Are you insane?! At a time like this, you’re talking about surrendering and imprisonment? Hahahaha!” The bald man scoffed, but he kept his voice low, wary of attracting zombies.

“Among all the people I’ve killed, some begged and cried, others cursed me, but you’re the first idiot talking about going to jail. You must be out of your mind. I’m going to chop you into pieces and let you enjoy your death!”

“Guys, get him!”

“Sigh.”

Meng Xu sighed deeply, his eyes showing fatigue: “I didn’t want it to come to this…”

As the bald man charged at him, Meng Xu raised his fire axe, aiming precisely, and swung it down.

In an instant, blood spurted everywhere.

The head was split open.

As blood pooled on the ground, Meng Xu shook his head and remarked, “Not as tough as zombies.”
