Chapter 36: Searching for Delia
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Amid the roars of zombies, the shrill screams of humans, and countless gunshots, the night passed just like that.
By early morning, the soldiers had already exterminated all the zombies on the campus, preparing to count the students who had survived in the buildings.
However, when the soldiers came to the cafeteria, they were incomparably shocked.
They saw countless zombies, their bodies broken into pieces and scattering on the ground.
These zombies were not killed by bullets, but by knives and other cold weapons.
This puzzled the soldiers. How on Earth could someone kill so many zombies with only cold weapons?
How powerful must he be?
They finally learned that the person who had killed these zombies was a student named Hades.
At this time, he had already left the campus.
Hades didn't know that there was a huge commotion in the school. He wanted to go home and take a look first, so he jumped up to the tall building next to him.
When he came to the top of the building, there were almost no zombies there, so he met no obstacles.
Hades headed to a place in the eastern city. His sister was still there.
She was his only family in this city and he must check up on her no matter she was still there or not.
Hades ran fast in the night, and occasionally needed to land on the ground. However, he didn't bother to fight with those low-level zombies he met on the way since he didn't need those tiny attribute points.
By dawn, Hades had crossed more than half of the city and arrived at the Songye District.
Carrying things that weighed more than 300 pounds on his back, he jumped into a community lightly.
In the community, the buildings were intact, looking as if they had not been affected by the catastrophe.
It looked as peaceful as before, but the quiet streets were filled with zombies looking for living people.
The sky had just lightened, and it was a beautiful morning.
Hades took out his camera and took a photo.
Then he walked straight to his sister's apartment.
As he approached the door, Hades didn't hear any sound. He put his right hand on the door handle and gently turned it.
It was locked from inside, and he couldn't open it.
Just as he was about to forcefully open the door, the lights on the second floor were turned on. It was his sister, Delia.
"Delia!"
Hades called her name.
At this moment, he heard roars of zombies from inside.
After four days of Doomsday, Hades was sure that he didn't mishear.
He jumped to the second floor and saw a zombie in the room, but it was already tied up.
The zombie's arms were bound and its legs were chained to the cabinet next to it.
"Brother!" Delia saw Hades and threw herself into his arms.
Before he could ask what was going on, he heard ropes breaking.
The zombie's hands turned into claws and pounced at Julia.
Hades caught Delia and kicked the zombie's head with his right foot.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be here and save me. You look completely different..
Then, Delia explained what happened to her.
It turned out that after the Doomsday, a part of the people in the world became zombies. No one knew when it happened.
Delia had a roommate who became a zombie in the middle of the night.
When her roommate became a zombie, she was taking a shower, and the bathroom door was locked.
She lost her mind when she became a zombie and couldn't open the bathroom door and thus was trapped inside.
Delia tried to ask for help, but the phone was dead.
She had no choice but to rely on herself.
Fortunately, there was enough food in the fridge. She kept an eye on the situation outside and found there were more and more zombies appearing.
She felt that the government had completely collapsed, and she could only rely on herself.
Even though her roommate had turned into an zombie, she had been Delia's good friend, so Delia didn't have the heart to kill her.
So she set a trap outside the bathroom.
Delia had learned fighting skills in school and practiced every day, so she was strong enough to fight zombies.
She released her roommate, with weapons and the trap, she successfully captured the zombie and tied her up.
However, her roommate, who had turned into a zombie, was slowly rotting.
Delia was very scared. She didn't dare to kill the zombie and had to face it every day.
It didn't eat ordinary food and only wanted to attack Delia.
Delia finally understood that zombies ate people.
She couldn't go out and get help since the streets were filled with zombies.
It was impossible for her to leave this apartment. Occasionally, there would be a few helicopters flying across the sky.
Delia yelled for help, but those helicopters wouldn't stop.
In the apartment, Delia got more and more desperate.
She even thought of jumping out of her apartment to end her life. Hades had arrived just in time, otherwise, even if Delia didn't jump out of her apartment, she would have been attacked by her roommates.
"Don't worry. I've become very strong now. I'll protect you during the Doomsday."
Delia cried and told him what she had gone through these past few days. She was extremely excited to see her brother.
"Alright, brother! We'll stick together during the Doomsday!"
