Everyone couldn’t believe their ears. Three hundred zombies! A locked fire door! It was literally a dead end! If all he just said were true, then how had this man survived?

Ye Xiaoyu’s heart lurched. Her hands balled into fists, and her eyes filled with worry.

Shen Chen continued. “At that moment, I heard the zombies coming after me. They had discovered my presence, which was weird, considering that I had already smeared zombie blood on myself. They attacked me in a frenzy… Guess what I found on the ground?”

Shen Chen smiled.

“It can’t be? A sanitary pad?” Ye Xiaoyu covered her mouth as she gasped in shock.

“A sanitary pad filled with fresh blood!” Shen Chen’s smile became cold. “What’s blood to a zombie? It was practically a stimulant! More than three hundred zombies! A locked fire door! A Sofy overnight pad soaked in menstrual blood! That’s what I was up against!”

As Shen Chen’s voice rose abruptly, so did everyone’s heartbeat. In that moment, they could almost feel his desperation. It was if they had gone through it themselves.

Fear! Stress! Despair!

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder… what if it had been them? Could they have survived such a predicament? The answer… obviously… not!

They subconsciously bit their lips as they visualized it happening to them; their heartbeats accelerated, tears started welling up, and even their muscles were on the verge of convulsing because of Shen Chen. But more than anything else, they were full of admiration for him!

Shen Chen gradually straightened his body. His lanky silhouette stretched underneath the evening sun, and his voice permeated the entire room as he said, “Over three hundred zombies and just little ol’ me. Haha. Zhao Ze, I gotta admit I underestimated you. You almost succeeded! But…”

His voice thickened, and for a moment, it was the most powerful voice in the world! “IN THE END, I SURVIVED!”

Boom! Like a bolt from the blue, everyone’s hearts constricted as his words imprinted themselves on their subconsciouses. Shen Chen’s lofty sentiments infected everyone present! Rapid heartbeats, heavy breathing, increased blood circulation—everyone couldn’t help but tear up. How did this proud man standing in front of them survive three hundred plus zombies!?

Three hundred plus zombies! Who else in this world could proudly say, “I SURVIVED!”

In that instant, everyone’s blood reached its boiling point, and their hearts beat like drums! They could almost visualize Shen Chen’s bloody battle scenes, how he fought the zombies with strength and valor!

Zhao Ze’s heart sank. Shen Chen was right. What he said really hit the nail on the head. There was no way he could deny it. However, he still tried to argue his way out of it, saying, “But… but this doesn’t mean that I did it!”

“If it wasn’t you, then why did you stealthily follow Pan Di and Guo Yuan when they came up to look for me?” Shen Chen snorted.

“About that…” Zhao Ze was at a loss for words, but he still made a last-ditch effort, saying, “These are all conjectures. What f*cking proof do you have? Do you have any proof that I was the one who did it?”

Shen Chen glared at Zhao Ze. “Before we set off this morning, you went to the restroom, and when Lin Qianqian was with Pan Di last night, she mentioned that her period came, so I have reason to believe that you stole Lin Qianqian’s used sanitary pad from the restroom!”

Lin Qianqian’s face flushed with embarrassment. She suddenly recalled that when she went to change her sanitary pad in the morning, there was indeed one missing from the wastebasket…

A myriad of expressions flashed across her face. She finally nodded. “Yes… there was indeed one missing…”

“D*mn you! You bast*rd! You wanted to get boss killed! I’m going to kill you!” Pan Di couldn’t hold back his fury and was ready to punch Zhao Ze!

Zhao Ze weakly protested, “No! That’s not what happened! This is just conjecture! Do you have any proof?”

“Look in the pocket of your shirt. If I’m not wrong, there must be stains from the period blood!”

Zhao Ze promptly looked at his pocket but didn’t discover anything. He looked up again and sneered, “Nothing! Hahaha! There’s nothing there…”

Everyone was silent. They all looked at him as if he were a dead man. Zhao Ze has just proven it through his actions. Everything that Shen Chen said was true!

“How about Pan Di? Li Qi was killed by him!” By this point, Zhao Ze was already acting like a madman. If not for the fact that he had been restrained, he would have pounced on Shen Chen and bit him. Zhao Ze was consumed by his fear of death and no longer held back the most ruthless and fiercest side of him. If he had to die, he would make sure that he had Pan Di as company! There was no way he would let him go!

“Killed by Pan Di? Ha! You’ve still not given up, huh?” Shen Chen snorted. Carrying over Li Qi’s body, he said, “Li Qi will tell you exactly who killed him!”

Upon seeing Li Qi’s stiff body, everyone realized that Li Qi had passed away. His eyes seemed to stare hollowly at Zhao Ze. Zhao Ze felt a chill run down his spine!

Pointing at the wound on Li Qi’s back, he said, “Look at the mark left by the axe. It wasn’t a fatal blow, yet he bled to death from it. You must have intended for Li Qi to die from excessive bleeding. By placing Li Qi and the unconscious Pan Di in the same place, you were hoping that the blood would attract the zombies. If the zombies did come down from the fourth floor, the room door definitely wouldn’t be able to hold them back. Pan Di and Li Qi would have become meals for the zombies, and all the evidence would have disappeared. Am I right?”

“No… no… not like that…” Zhao Ze hadn’t expected Shen Chen to see through not only his ploy, but his inner thoughts.

Everyone’s expression became solemn. No wonder Shen Chen had said that the sanitary pad had played a pivotal role in determining everyone’s survival. Li Qi had died entirely because of Zhao Ze! How could he be so devoid of conscience? Bleeding to death! How could someone be so heartless!? This man is too wicked!

Looking at everyone’s shocked and disdainful faces, Zhao Ze’s last trace of hope completely crumbled. He was now as white as a ghost, but that didn’t stop him from saying spitefully, “F*ck you! I wanted to teach you a lesson! Who do you think you are? How dare you slap me? How dare you make me the bait! You explained it well, I admit! I did lock the door on purpose, and the sanitary pad was indeed put there by me. If you had died on the first floor the first time around, my plans would have succeeded, and I would have been able to take over everything! F*ck! I should have taken out the sanitary pad from the start and gotten you killed!”
