14: Chapter 14 No way, you're already scared to death?

"It's over, it's over, the zombies have broken in. What should I do?"

The obese, greasy middle-aged man had a ghastly expression. His voice trembled as he covered his mouth with both hands and whimpered softly.

He pressed his body firmly against the bathroom door.

Ye Fan had Ji Yuyan and Li Shiya wait outside while he walked into the apartment alone.

Ye Fan's footsteps were heavy and slow. He didn't say a word as he wandered around the apartment.

Hiding in the bathroom, the middle-aged man heard those heavy footsteps wandering through his home.

He was instantly terrified even further, and the rest of his trousers were already soaked through.

"Don't come over here, please don't... I don't want to die yet..."

The middle-aged man called out hurriedly. Although his voice was very small, it still reached Ye Fan's ears.

Ye Fan looked toward the direction of the sound and saw a tightly closed door.

Ye Fan gave a cold laugh.

He muttered to himself, "Hmph! So you're hiding here!"

Then, he intentionally made his footsteps heavier and walked quickly toward that door.

Ye Fan thought to himself that he really had to give this guy a good scare.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roars of a zombie echoed through the middle-aged man's home.

However, these zombie roars were actually Ye Fan's imitations.

Though it didn't sound exactly like one, it should be enough to scare this middle-aged man.

"It's over, it's... it's really a zombie! What do I do? What do I do? Is there anyone who can save me? No, please no..."

Hearing the roars and the footsteps rapidly approaching him, the middle-aged man's legs trembled even more violently.

In the next moment...

His whole body collapsed onto the floor. His face was full of panic, and he kept babbling something under his breath.

Ye Fan was incredibly fast.

In an instant,

he arrived in front of the door.

While mimicking a zombie's growl, he reached out with both hands and rapidly pounded on the door in front of him.

At this moment,

the middle-aged man inside finally reached his breaking point and screamed from inside the bathroom.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me! I'm all fat, I don't taste good at all..."

"If you want to eat, go eat the woman upstairs! She's young and tender, she must be delicious... Please, don't eat me!"

Hearing the voice from inside the room, the wicked smile on Ye Fan's face grew even wider.

The Speed at which his hands pounded the door increased, and he even started using his feet.

He kicked the door with a series of loud bangs.

The door in front of him was kicked until it was on the verge of collapsing.

"Help! Help! Hel—"

The middle-aged man's desperate cries for help came from inside the room.

As for Ye Fan, he was having the time of his life, his face beaming with joy.

"Holy crap, this feeling is just too satisfying."

Crack!

A heavy sound slowly came from the other side of the door.

In the next moment,

Ye Fan saw the door he was pounding on suddenly give way for some reason.

"Wait? I didn't even use that much force, how did..." Ye Fan was momentarily dazed as he held up the falling door with both hands.

But in that instant, Ye Fan felt a jolt as a sense of heaviness suddenly hit him.

"Damn it, what the hell is this? Why is it so heavy?" Ye Fan grumbled with a bitter smile while supporting the door.

Bang!

Ye Fan moved with extreme Speed and instantly slipped out from under the door, letting it collapse onto the floor.

On top of it,

an obese middle-aged man lay there motionless, appearing to have fainted.

Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately cursed, "Screw you! I was wondering why it was so heavy, nearly crushed me. Turns out it's just you, you dead pig."

However, right then,

a very strong smell of urine suddenly wafted from the middle-aged man lying on the door panel.

"Ugh—"

Smelling the odor, Ye Fan almost gagged.

"Seriously, man... you actually peed your pants from fear?" Ye Fan covered his nose and mouth, looking at the man's soaked trousers with a speechless and helpless expression.

Ye Fan quickly gave his body a kick, but there was no response, so he could only sigh.

"Sigh, how boring."

He immediately moved away from him and walked out of the room.

Ye Fan reached the corridor and looked at the two women beside him, speaking calmly.

"So, the guy inside fainted from fear. You two go in and keep an eye on him. I'm going upstairs to check things out!"

"Ah! Ye Fan, I'm scared!" Ji Yuyan reached out and grabbed Ye Fan's arm, speaking with a grievance-filled face.

As for Li Shiya, she stood to the side without saying a word.

"Oh, it's fine! I'll be right upstairs. Are you two really afraid of a useless coward? Here, take this."

As Ye Fan spoke, he handed the Star Blade back to Ji Yuyan.

"O... okay! But you have to come back quickly!"

Afterward, Ji Yuyan held Ye Fan's Star Blade and slowly walked into the apartment.

Li Shiya hadn't intended to go in, but Ye Fan gave her a fierce look, forcing her to quickly follow Ji Yuyan's lead.

They entered the room together.

"Blech, ugh, gag—"

A moment later, the sounds of retching could be heard coming from the room.

Ye Fan glanced into the room and then quickly headed up to the fifth floor.

There were only two households on the fifth floor.

Ye Fan arrived at one of the doors and knocked gently, then spoke.

"Hello? Anyone there? It's me, the handsome guy you were calling for help from downstairs just now."

As Ye Fan's voice faded, there was still no sound from within the apartment.

"Hmm, could it be the wrong one? I remember it being this one!" Ye Fan said softly, feeling a bit doubtful.

Ye Fan scratched the back of his head and lingered in front of the door for a few seconds before preparing to walk toward the other door.

Just as Ye Fan turned around, a very weak female voice slowly came from the previously silent room.

"Are... are you human, or a zombie?"

Hearing the voice from the room, Ye Fan was momentarily stunned. He frowned and answered slowly.

"Uh, no, sister. Have you ever heard of a zombie that can talk?"

The room went silent again. After a few seconds of immersion...

The weak female voice spoke again, "Uh, sorry, I'm just a little scared. Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you now."

Immediately following that,

a series of faint footsteps slowly approached the door.

The young woman stopped slowly in front of the door.

She carefully leaned against the door and looked out through the peephole.

She saw a familiar figure standing slowly in front of her door.

That's right!

She could now be certain that this person was the one she had just called out to for help.

"Wait a second, almost there!"

Click!

The sound of a door being unlocked rang out.

In the next moment, the door was slowly opened.
