Chapter 13 - Death does not seem to be that scary, right?

XG 13 - Death does not seem to be that scary, right?

It took a long time for the door to finally win and successfully usher most of the zombies out and close the door in their faces, ignoring their howls and banging. Not even the buttons worked to get the door open. The LED screen showed the floor starting to descend to the floor below, but the shopping mall has thick walls and they did not hear anything after the elevator door closed.

"Guo Guo, do you want to wait for mummy here?"

"No." Wong Xue Guo supported her answer by shaking her head. It was stupid to separate now. What if her mother manages to enter the sports store, leaving her outside alone?

She would also rather fight along with her mother than let herself continue being helpless. The main characters of the zombie apocalypse always counted on themselves instead of being cry-baby that needed strong people to help them.

Suzie Yap looked a little disheartened at her choice but respected it. "Then follow me closely, okay?"

"Okay."

"Now!" Suzie Yap stepped out and rushed to the group of zombies.

Hearing her, the zombies unitedly turned their heads in their direction before charging over with growls. Fearless of the danger, Suzie Yap started hacking zombies like a terminator on her mission to kill.

Forcing herself not to think, Wong Xue Guo had her body move to follow her mother's back. She vaguely heard Vihaan let out a curse behind her before following along.

The zombies were already aware of them and actively ran towards them with their wide open, drooling mouths. It was truly heart-thrilling to watch a large group of frenzy zombies heading fast towards them, but her mother's straight back was the one that made her continue moving forward instead of running away.

Wielding her two knives, Suzie Yap started the attack with a burst of speed, taking down the front row of the zombies. She does not waste her movement and takes them down with a single attack. There was no time to make mistakes if she wanted to protect her daughter behind her. However, she alone was not enough to stop the horde of zombies and some had already slipped past her to target the weaker prey.

Adjusting her grip on her broom, Wong Xue Guo started stabbing the zombies that her mother does not have enough hands to deal with. The number was still overwhelming even after some had travelled down to the next floor. It should be that all zombies on this floor were now in front of them.

If they finish dealing with them, this floor will be safe and allow them some breathing space. It was that thought that discarded her initial fear as she continued stabbing every chest she saw.

With the large number of zombies swarming towards them, she could only choose to guard against their teeth. She guessed that scratching would not infect her and proved it when she did not feel any changes in her body even after a long while, other than stinging from the wound. Their nails were painful but not life-threatening as long as she was not grabbed.

Wong Xue Guo grinned, her fear of being infected was slightly lessened and the little tidbit renewed her energy to continue fighting. She was able to ignore the sting from the scratches from the zombies, using them to keep her eyes wide open or risk getting severe injury if she closed them longer than a second.

Her body which was lacking exercise was rapidly getting tired. Not only that, but her face mask was also restricting her breathing but there was no chance for her to pull it off. It was fortunate she did not have the urge to yawn from the lack of oxygen.

Somehow, Wong Xue Guo and Kim Sung-Ho teamed up without being planned. He whacked the zombies with his baton, his strength surprisingly strong enough to send the zombie sprawling onto the floor with two or three hits. Then she would take the opportunity presented to stab the fallen zombies' exposed chests.
