Chapter 12: His Little Sister Is That Amazing

She was drenched in blood, expressionless, like a hollow shell drained of its soul. Her eyes had lost all life, turned gray and vacant. The eerie feeling emanating from her fixed gaze snapped the stunned male doctor back to reality immediately.

“Doctor Zhao… n-no, don’t do this!”

“Roar—!”

His trembling words had no effect. Doctor Zhao, as if switched into a killing machine, lunged at him with ferocity.

The male doctor screamed repeatedly, grabbed the fashionable woman beside him, and shoved her ahead of Doctor Zhao. He then scrambled and fled downstairs in utter disarray.

“Ahh!!”

A faint scent of urine wafted from the fashionable woman. Tears blurred her face, but she paid no mind, desperately clutching Doctor Zhao’s arms to prevent her from biting.

“You bastard! You’re a scumbag! You don’t deserve to be a doctor…”

While resisting, she cursed vehemently, clearly terrified and losing all rationality.

The chaos behind them left Sheng Anyu and Gu Chenyi overwhelmed and unable to spare a thought. They summoned all their strength to slam the snarling zombie down, toppling her heavily to the floor below with a dull thud.

“Ah!! No! Don’t come here—”

The next moment, a terrified scream echoed from downstairs.

It was the male doctor. The zombie had landed at his feet and was crawling swiftly toward him.

“Damn…”

Sweat drenched Gu Chenyi’s forehead. Unable to manage the situation alone, he and Sheng Anyu worked together to pry Doctor Zhao off the woman she was clutching.

“Sheng Anyu! Ah—I hate you all—”

The anguished screams from the male doctor below, mixed with the chilling sounds of teeth tearing flesh, reverberated in their ears, sending shivers down their spines.

Yet they could barely tend to themselves. The zombified Doctor Zhao was incredibly strong, nearly biting them several times. They had to be careful not to get scratched, and both braced themselves with utmost vigilance.

Meanwhile, the woman, clutching her scratched arm, took a few steps downstairs, then suddenly remembered something. She hurried back to the tenth floor, not even glancing at the two men, and slammed the safety door shut with force.

As the lock clicked into place, it felt as though their last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

Gu Chenyi’s heart sank. Shocked, he glanced back anxiously. “Anyu…”

Sheng Anyu’s eyes darkened. Summoning strength from somewhere, he violently flung Doctor Zhao aside, finally creating some distance between them.

At that moment, howls rose again from downstairs, footsteps drawing nearer. The two stood back to back, faces grim.

They were now facing three zombies.

Their eyes bloodshot, hands trembling, they gripped the IV stands fiercely.

It was almost a death sentence…

Just as they prepared to fight desperately, a firefighting axe suddenly appeared above Doctor Zhao’s head in front of Sheng Anyu.

His pupils flickered in shock as he stared blankly at the axe crashing down with force.

---

Doctor Zhao’s roar abruptly ceased mid-sentence. Blood mixed with brain matter gushed forth, and she instantly lost all vitality, collapsing motionless on the ground.

“Li… Li Mei?!”

Sheng Anyu’s eyes widened in disbelief. He could never have imagined seeing Lin Wanmei here.

Before greeting, Lin Wanmei stepped past the two men and swung the axe, smashing the head of the charging zombie.

Blessed by the talisman’s power, the massive firefighting axe felt lighter than a toy in her hands, wielded with ease.

She effortlessly killed one zombie, then swung again, slicing through another approaching male doctor.

Within seconds, three zombies were dead.

There was no technique—just sheer overwhelming force.

Sheng Anyu and Gu Chenyi stood dumbfounded, unable to process it for a long time.

The situation had shifted too rapidly—they struggled to keep up.

Had they suddenly been saved?

“This… is your sister?”

Gu Chenyi asked in stunned disbelief. “A martial arts expert…”

“…”

Sheng Anyu felt a mix of confusion and disbelief.

His sister was this formidable?

No one had told him…

Lin Wanmei held the firefighting axe, her face calm as she stared at the corpses of the zombies.

Yet only she knew her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

The sensation of delivering a headshot… was truly terrifying.

It was nothing like the effortless ease portrayed in movies, like slicing a watermelon.

Especially the visual shock of half a skull falling to the ground—it nearly broke her.

She felt she needed psychological counseling…

“Meibao.”

Sheng Anyu’s gentle voice, tinged with concern and caution, came softly from behind.

Lin Wanmei suppressed the surge of emotion and turned around. Her moist, doe-like eyes focused solely on Sheng Anyu.

The elder brother of the hospital’s revered “saintly flower,” once pristine in his spotless white coat, was now stained with blood and filth, looking utterly disheveled.

His handsome features betrayed undeniable fatigue.

Lin Wanmei didn’t want to cry, but for some reason, tears welled up and blurred her vision.

---

“Brother… I finally found you.”

Thank goodness she arrived in time—not a moment too late.

God knew how her heart pounded when she heard the commotion below as she rushed down. In the time it took to find a weapon, that wretched woman abandoned them, cutting off the nearest escape route!

Lin Wanmei hadn’t missed a thing. Already bitten, she was certain death today, but her hatred had lessened somewhat.

“Meibao, don’t cry…”

Seeing her reddened eyes, Sheng Anyu was heartbroken. He reached out to wipe her tears, realized his hands were dirty, and pulled a tissue from his pocket to gently dab her face.

“Meibao came looking for me? Why are you so foolish…”

He finally understood who had drawn away the horde and why he had an instinctive urge to search for someone.

It was his sister.

Though he hadn’t managed to find her, she had arrived again just in time to save him a second time!

Lin Wanmei smiled. “I’m here to take you home. No one could reach you—your family was so worried.”

Sheng Anyu explained guiltily, “I just finished surgery yesterday when the zombie outbreak happened. Luckily, Ayi found me and helped me escape. I didn’t have time to retrieve my phone from the office.”

Just imagining how perilous the crowded hospital must have been yesterday was enough to understand how impossible it was to think about a phone.

“You’re both still alive—that’s the greatest luck!”

She glanced at the man beside Sheng Anyu. “Is this Ayi ge?”

Called out, Gu Chenyi smiled faintly. “Hello, sister! Thank you for saving my life!”

Lin Wanmei’s eyes curved gently, her tone sincere. “I must thank you, too, for saving my brother.”

“Hey, we’re brothers. Saving him was a given.”

Gu Chenyi said casually, but his gaze inadvertently flicked to the locked stairwell door. His smile faded instantly.

Sheng Anyu keenly noticed the shift in his expression, his thick lashes lowering slightly, clearly understanding his thoughts.

Gu Chenyi hadn’t just saved Sheng Anyu.

These past days, they’d been hiding with survivors they met by chance, always at the forefront of danger, risking their lives to save others—only to be abandoned time and again.

At first, they comforted themselves, but the woman who just shut the escape door had extinguished any excuse of “human nature.”

No wonder people say the apocalypse cannot tolerate saints.

If one does not look out for oneself, destruction will come from heaven and earth…
