Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1696 - 716 Unexpected Guests

"Sigh! Little Xue, you must survive..."

Li Qiuyu lifted a corner of the curtain, looking at the zombies wandering outside, letting out a sigh.

If it weren’t for the zombies outside, she might have rushed out impulsively to find Jiang Shixue. When she saw a stout gym coach being easily devoured by a zombie, she knew that unless something unexpected happened, she might never be able to leave this house.

Although the internet is still active and she can learn about the outside world, and she has some food stored at home, being trapped here indefinitely is a slow death. Especially when thinking about her daughter whose fate is uncertain, she wakes up from nightmares every day.

"Roar—"

Bang!

Suddenly, a strong and healthy zombie seemed to sense something and quickly ran to the window, raising its head to stare at the window on the second floor.

Li Qiuyu was startled, quickly letting down the curtain, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Swish—swish—

Vaguely, Li Qiuyu thought she heard the sound of friction outside the wall.

She hurriedly and cautiously moved to another room, where from the window in this room, she could clearly see the zombie was climbing the wall!

Although this zombie was climbing slowly, it seemed it might actually get up there!

Li Qiuyu could clearly feel her heart pounding, and she crouched down, slowly moving downstairs.

She didn’t know if this zombie could climb up, she didn’t know if the zombies could break the window or the door, but she didn’t dare to gamble on it.

"I can’t die, I haven’t found Little Xue yet, I must wait at home for Little Xue to come back, I cannot die!"

Pep-talking herself inwardly, Li Qiuyu tiptoed to the entrance of the basement on the first floor, activated the electronic lock, the basement door opened slowly, and she scrambled inside.

Having successfully entered the basement, Li Qiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The basement door was very solid, the zombies shouldn’t be able to open it, and it could isolate the scent, so the zombies might not discover her down there.

All kinds of living supplies had been moved into the basement in advance, along with many photos. Seeing the photos of her deceased husband and her missing daughter, Li Qiuyu couldn’t hold back her tears.

"Little Xue, it’s because mother is incapable, unable to save you, don’t blame me... Maybe it won’t be long before I join you—ugh! No, Little Xue is not dead, if anyone must die, it’s me... If only there was someone who could help Little Xue, rescue her, it would be great. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone with such an ability, otherwise, no matter what I must do, I would willingly..."

Li Qiuyu indulged in her wild thoughts.

"Beep beep—"

Suddenly, she heard the beeping sound from outside the door.

This stunned Li Qiuyu, her expression changing drastically.

It was the sound of the basement electronic lock!

Zombies could not only enter her home but could also open electronic locks? Zombies had become this intelligent!

Thankfully, the zombies didn’t know the password. Without the password, it was impossible to open this electronic lock, even if the lock was forcibly destroyed, the door couldn’t be opened...

However, just as Li Qiuyu thought this, the metal door suddenly gave a "click" — the door opened!

"...I’m done!"

Li Qiuyu was completely stunned. Could zombies know the basement door password? She thought it was impossible; she leaned more towards the idea that the electronic lock had malfunctioned, and it opened with random pressing.

But no matter how it happened, the door was indeed open. At that moment, she thought of ending it herself. Being devoured by zombies was an experience she didn’t want to try.

However, thinking that her daughter might return, if she died, her returning daughter might be eaten by zombies, her gaze immediately became firm.

"I can’t commit suicide! I need to trap the zombies inside! I can’t leave a safety risk for Little Xue!"

Li Qiuyu prepared to close the basement door after the zombie came in!

She still thought that it was the electronic lock malfunctioning, allowing the zombies to press once or twice to open it, but this door could still be locked with a mechanical lock from the inside. Without a key, it couldn’t be opened from either side!

She was waiting for the zombies to come in, intending to shut the door afterward, locking herself and the zombies inside!

As Li Qiuyu was determined to send herself to death, the door opened. At the same time, a voice she found familiar but couldn’t believe accompanied it.

"Mom! I’m back!"

"Little, Little Xue?"

Seeing a familiar figure appear at the door, Li Qiuyu rubbed her eyes. Could this be an illusion just before death?

Seeing Li Qiuyu holding a fruit knife, standing there dazed, Jiang Shixue immediately ran over, pouncing on Li Qiuyu.

Clang—

The fruit knife fell from her hand, and smelling the faint milky scent from Jiang Shixue, Li Qiuyu tightly grabbed Jiang Shixue’s shoulders.

"Little Xue? Is it really you, Little Xue? I’m not dreaming, right?"

"It’s me, I came back safely! If you don’t believe me, pinch yourself—ouch ouch ouch! You’re pinching the wrong person!"

Jiang Shixue rolled her eyes.

"Oooh... It’s really Little Xue! It’s so good you’re okay! It’s all my fault for being incompetent, unable to save you..."

Confirming that this was indeed her daughter Jiang Shixue, Li Qiuyu burst into tears.

"It’s okay mom, it’s a good thing you didn’t come looking; actually, I was afraid you might come for me!"

Jiang Shixue repeatedly comforted her, then broke free from Li Qiuyu’s embrace, pointing at Wang Tao by the door:

"Mom, it was Brother Wang who saved me! He also brought me to rescue you!"

Only then did Li Qiuyu notice the burly man standing behind Jiang Shixue, with a shiny black cat resting on his shoulder.
