I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 14: C-Thing

Time slowly ticked by and I noticed that Lin Xian didn't have any intentions of leaving us. If it were any other person, I would've minded it but Lin Xian was different.

Based on her first impressions alone, I could tell that she's the kind of woman that doesn't need protection. Simply put, she's a survivor. In fact, she might be better than me in terms of combat with zombies. Unlike Yu Sying and Yu Yan over here who don't know how to protect themselves, Lin Xian was the polar opposite.

And adding to that, she's a prepossessing woman indeed.

I couldn't help but compare her to Yu Sying. Unlike Yu Sying who has brown hair, brown eyes, and a model-like figure, Lin Xian is more appealing with her black hair and reddish, phoenix-like eyes that made it look like she was wearing contact lens. Lin Xian was comparable to my disciple Natalia in terms of beauty.

Phew, just remembering her name alone is already making my neck ache.

And also, Lin Xian looked really fit and in optimum health. She looked a bit dirty but underneath the grime on her skin, I could tell that her skin was like white jade. And her muscles were just enough to give her a rather rugged but lady-like figure. Even her abdominal muscles could be seen from the front side of her black tank top.

Of course, Yu Sying has a slender hourglass figure but as for Lin Xian, she was well beyond that. Moreover, she has black hair and reddish eyes which is a ten out of ten for me since those are my top two favorite colors. And aside from that, her height was my ideal. She was just slightly taller than Yu Sying, at least 5'8 in feet.

As someone who sits on the realm of 6 footers, I have no problems with her height at all.

But still, after saying all that, the apocalypse is not the time to be in a relationship. It would be the worst since your mind would be clouded in judgment when the worst-case scenario happens.

But still, a man could dream, right? Right?!

I sighed. That's what I get in return for being the hopeless master of a sect. Because of continuously shutting myself inside a cave to cultivate, I didn't even have a bit of time to grab a date with a lady due to how busy my role was.

But now it's different! Now that I got a second chance, a second take in life, I won't waste it! I will live my life to the fullest!

Then again, the only way to possibly do that in this kind of world was to become stronger than everybody else. That way, I would be able to protect everyone I love and care about. Before, I never really had a purpose in becoming strong but now. I finally have a valid reason.

That's right! I have to become stronger so I could date in peace! Is this finally my time?

But for now, we have to get stronger!

"You're creepy." Yu Sying suddenly interrupted my thoughts with her statement. She was covering her face as if she was embarrassed of my existence alone.

"You got that weird look on your face, it's creepy." Lin Xian backed her up as she dragged Yu Yan farther from me. "Listen, don't go near that creep, okay?"

"WHAT?!" But I was just imagining having a date with someone?!

Sigh.

Suddenly, the sound of things being scattered around could be heard coming from the supermarket. First, it sounded like a sound of struggle but after a few minutes, it gradually quieted down.

And then came the footsteps.

"Um, Lin Xian?" I muttered.

"Yeah?"

"What did you say was in the supermarket again?"

"A high-leveled zombie. Why?" Lin Xian answered in a lackadaisical manner.

This girl is crazy! I said to myself as I looked at her in disbelief. I mean, how could anyone just remain calm after an encounter with a high-leveled rabid human? And also, shouldn't we be getting out of here if there were something like that.

"Relax, high-leveled zombies are dumb. They usually just stay where they are and they would continue to do so until something attracts their attention." Lin Xian explained, probably reading my mind based on my reaction.

"And I locked the doors leading to the supermarket. He doesn't have the power to break those locks."

"Yeah, right." I gazed into her eyes, looking as stressed as possible.

Even though my cultivation went back to zero, the feel of my senses was still there. In other words, I still have my heightened senses. It was a very huge advantage and I was glad I didn't lose it when I had my reset.

And my hearing sense is picking up someone big and bulky slowly approaching the doors that led to where we were staying. If that's not a high-level rabid human then I don't know what it is. A buff dude?

For crying out loud.

"Right, before I head over there to check it out... " I began although I was confident there really was a rabid human there. "I want to know why you're here alone, Lin Xian."

Lin Xian nervously fidgeted, giving me a puppy-look with her eyes. Of course, that won't make me retract my question. After all, I asked that question since I'm in a dilemma.

"D-do I really need to answer that?" She softly asked me back as she looked down the floor.

"Yes, because that would help me decide whether I trust you or not." I didn't want to waste time so I answered her with my hidden intentions revealed in the open. "So... why are you here all alone? Were you kicked out from a shelter or something? It's been five years since the apocalypse, right? I'm assuming everyone's either a part of a shelter or not due to getting kicked out."

"N-no. I was never kicked out of a shelter. It's just... " She began.

"Just?"

"I escaped." She simply responded.

Hearing her answer, Yu Sying and Yu Yan gasped in response.

"Y-you escaped? Why? Are they doing the C-thing?" Yu Sying whispered.

Lin Xian's eyes widened as she looked away. Then she nodded.

And here I was, wondering what the C-thing is.

Another gasp escaped Yu Sying's mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. "That's terrible. How did you escape?"

"When I first entered the shelter, I thought it was one of the safest, most fortified shelters I've ever been in. I've been to many shelters these past five days and when we arrived there, we were overjoyed." She began. "Back then, I still have my friends with me so traveling wasn't that traumatizing."

"Okay, so what's this C-thing?" I interrupted.

"Shut up, let her continue." Yu Sying demanded. I immediately scowled at her, then I opened my mouth to show her the teeth that bit her husband and absorbed the life out of him.

"At first, we expected that the shelter would have a shortage of supplies since it had been five years since the apocalypse began. But to our surprise, food was abundant. Everyone was happy and some occasional scouts would go out to hunt. Sometimes, they bring in a deer, and sometimes, they bring in some rabbits. Of course, they were all cut down and only the meat was brought into the shelter."

"Oh, so that's what the C-thing is about?" I finally got it.

"Yes,"

"By C-thing, you meant creatures, right?"
