Chapter 9 - Blend in and launch a surprise move

XG 9 - Blend in and launch a surprise move

Surprisingly, there was no second wave heading towards them.

Wong Xue Guo noticed that among the corpses were dead zombies. It was obvious with their completely white hair and body that resembled a dried-up human whose vitality was completely sucked dry. Looking at the unmoving zombie's injuries, they do not seem to be finished up by knives.

Other than her mother, there were more people who managed to kill the zombies.

They passed by the cinema entrance with dim lights that were their usual setting. Large movie posters were lined up on the wall beside the ticket counter, with tiny light bulbs lit up around the frame to display the movies that will be airing for these few days.

There does not seem to be anyone around the cinema and there was no sight of her classmates. She had also unconsciously been identifying the corpses' attire to see if they might be them, even if she had not remembered their clothing well.

Her heart nearly went into a heart attack when her eyes landed on the zombie movie poster that her classmates had planned to watch. Fortunately, the zombies in the poster looked different from the zombies that were currently walking around the mall.

Hmm? (・・ )? One of the zombies has white hair...

Before she could finish her thought, the white-haired zombie suddenly moved away from the poster and charged right at her!

The fuck? It knew how to blend in and launch a surprise move?!

Unfortunately, Wong Xue Guo was quite some distance away from her mother, and the former was distracted by the cinema posters and corpses that her pace slowed down.

Truly, one would suddenly gain super strength when their heart was constantly abused by fear and shock. Her shock woke up her wrath at being tricked and swung her broom to bring it down onto its head. The sloppy attack managed to buy her some time for her mind to timely remind her of the weakness of the zombie.

"Yaaaah!" Using both hands, she stabbed its chest where the heart was, but the broom only managed to enter an inch. Or maybe even lesser than that?

Fuck me. (ᄑ_ᄑ)

The zombie wiggled under her broom, struggling to grab onto her. Its large and powerful movement made it hard for her to continue stabbing deeper while avoiding its grabby hands at the same time.

Watching in horror as the broom slowly slipped out of the zombie, she struggled to regain control when it suddenly became much easier to gain control over the broom without much fanfare.

"You need to learn which spot to pierce, with the right amount of strength," Suzie Yap explained from right behind her.

It turned out that Suzie Yap had grabbed on the broom and helped her pierce deeper into the zombie's chest with just one hand.

This salted fish [1] has a golden thigh. (⁀ᗢ⁀)

[1] Salted fish- In Cantonese, a salted fish is a metaphor for a corpse, but can now mean people who have no intention of doing anything.

"Guo Guo learns quickly..." Suzie Yap praised when Wong Xue Guo succeeded in duplicating the example. Strangely, there was a slight melancholy from her words.

"I understand that if I don't, I will die. It is also because mother's explanation is easy to understand."

Despite the kidnapping attempts, her parents never allowed her to learn self-defense, even if she was willing to. They only placed more bodyguards around her, as if doing so would be enough. But that made her stand out among the mass with a pack of males with dangerous air hanging around her. Very quickly, she got frustrated with everyone's strange looks.
