Apocalypse — Chapter 67: Infiltrating the Villa District Shelter

Waves of miserable screams rose from the faculty dormitory and the men’s dormitory...

Xiao Yi brought Lu Yurou into the City of Sin and glanced at the Loyalty value above her head.

—75%.

It was not high, but for a newcomer, it was not low either.

Lu Yurou was the perfect test subject for observing how quickly a person’s Loyalty increased while living inside the City of Sin.

Once everything had been arranged, Xiao Yi climbed back into the Slaughterer Armored Vehicle and sped recklessly toward Lily New City.

When he was about a hundred meters from Lily New City, Xiao Yi found a concealed place to park the Slaughterer Armored Vehicle. He climbed out and continued toward Lily New City on foot.

It was midday. There were not many wandering zombies, and the weather was clear. If he entered Lily New City rashly, he would be easily discovered.

Lily New City possessed a security system. Although Jiangcheng’s power grid had completely collapsed, Ma Chenbin had explained that solar generation systems installed on the roof of every house still provided enough electricity for daily life and for maintaining the security network.

Xiao Yi therefore decided to hunt several C-rank zombies in the surrounding area and wait until nightfall before infiltrating the compound.

Night fell.

Using the map Ma Chenbin had provided, Xiao Yi located a blind spot in the surveillance network. He sprinted forward and vaulted into the villa district.

Lily New City truly deserved its reputation as Jiangcheng’s only golf-villa community.

Not only was the landscaping exquisite, but its security was outstanding.

The iron-bar perimeter fence he had just crossed was six meters tall. If Xiao Yi’s physical abilities had not reached the pinnacle of humanity, he might not have been able to scale it.

To make matters worse, high-voltage wire had been installed along the fence.

Several wandering zombies accidentally touched the bars and were instantly blasted backward by the electricity.

“Fuck. Being rich really is wonderful. They still have electricity even during the apocalypse!” Xiao Yi cursed inwardly as he looked at the electrified fence.

“Once I seize this place, I’ll have someone dismantle those solar-power systems and move them back.”

He was already thinking about how to strip out the solar equipment and take it home.

Although Xiao Yi lived like an emperor inside the City of Sin, life was still deeply uncomfortable for a modern man who depended heavily on electrical appliances.

After crossing a landscaped greenbelt, the first thing he saw was an artificial lake. Astonishingly, people were still enjoying themselves in a lakeside recreation area.

Because the lights were dim, Xiao Yi had to move closer before realizing that they were not simply enjoying the scenery.

It was a shameless couple having sex.

Xiao Yi checked the map, took a shadowed path around the lakeside area, and entered the western residential zone.

After the apocalypse began, the Crown Prince Gang had occupied this district. Xiao Yi looked around. The western villas were relatively quiet. Only two or three houses had lights on, while the others were completely dark and showed no sign of activity.

Avoiding the guards at the main entrance, Xiao Yi vaulted into the grounds of the most luxurious villa. He climbed along the wall to a brightly lit third-floor balcony, pressed himself into a dark corner beside it, and secretly looked inside.

There were more than twenty people.

Most were men, with only a handful of women.

“Chenbin still hasn’t returned?” A tall, imposing middle-aged man asked the young men standing around him with their heads lowered.

The man bore some resemblance to Ma Chenbin. Xiao Yi had also seen his photograph in the news before the apocalypse. He had been a highly influential figure in Jiangcheng.

Clearly, this was Ma Chenbin’s father, Ma Gang.

Beside him stood a wealthy-looking older woman and a tall, beautiful young woman.

The older woman looked anxious and worried. The younger woman was expressionless, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

The young men exchanged looks before answering.

“Master Ma, Brother Bin probably found something entertaining and got delayed again...”

“Master Ma, you and Madam don’t need to worry. Brother Bin took plenty of men, guns, and modified vehicles. Nothing should have happened to him.”

Ma Gang frowned, paced several steps, and snorted.

“He’s fooling around! This is the apocalypse. Monsters are everywhere! What if he encounters one of those mutated creatures? At first light tomorrow, go out and bring him back!”

“Yes!” the young men answered in unison.

Only then did Ma Gang turn and leave with his entourage.

The moment he was gone, the remaining young men grew anxious.

“Brother Bin went to avenge Second Brother this time. You don’t think something happened to him too, do you?”

“Impossible! He took so many men, so many modified vehicles, and real guns. No matter how cunning the enemy is, they’re definitely dead!”

“I heard that city is full of beautiful college women. Maybe Brother Bin is having so much fun that he forgot to come back. No one out there can control him, after all...”

“That’s possible!”

Xiao Yi listened for a while. Once he realized they were not particularly worried about Ma Chenbin and the others disappearing, he turned, jumped from the building, and used the darkness to infiltrate the eastern villa district.
