Chapter 17 Satisfaction

“Luo…Di?”

Luo Di, who should have been recuperating, was found here. The hole in his arm where he had been pierced was still there, but it had only been disinfected with alcohol.

He approached the struggling zombie’s head with an almost expressionless face.

Kneel on one knee

Grasp the zombie’s foul-smelling, sticky hair firmly with your left hand and pull it upwards, slightly lifting the zombie’s head off the ground to reveal its rotten, grotesque, fanged face.

Luo Di did this simply because of the “angle.” Currently, the angle between the zombie’s head and body is approximately 32.5°.

Everything is ready.

With the butcher’s knife raised high in his right hand, Luo Di’s face was barely visible in the darkness, as if he were wearing a black mask.

The blade fell.

The sound of it cutting through the air was somewhat jarring.

Click!

With a single strike, the zombie’s cervical vertebrae were severed, the blade penetrating completely into the flesh.

Anna, who was suppressing the zombie, widened her eyes. With such strength and swordsmanship, one more strike would surely be enough to decapitate it.

At this time,

Yin energy gathers,

The silver needle inserted into the Fengfu acupoint at the back of the head was forced out again.

Just as Gao Yuxuan was about to administer the injection, Luo Di gave him a look, indicating that Gao Yuxuan only needed to help hold down the zombie’s body and did not need the injection.

The second cut landed perfectly along the incision made in the first cut, slicing into the neck.

Ding! A metallic clanging sound was emitted due to the hardening process.

However, while hardening may be achieved, damage cannot be completely eliminated.

The logging depth was increased by one centimeter.

Seemingly sensing death, the zombie began to struggle frantically, with black energy constantly emanating from its body.

But under the suppression of the three, the zombie’s body was still firmly restrained on the ground. No matter how much it struggled, the raised butcher knife always fell accurately.

The third cut…

The fourth cut…

Each cut was like a replica, following the previous incision and slicing into the inside of the neck.

The fifth cut!

This time, there were no more metallic clanging sounds, and the frantically struggling zombies suddenly stopped.

The three people responsible for maintaining order also noticed the sudden silence.

Their gaze moved upwards along the zombie’s body, and above its blackened neck, its head was gone.

Under the cover of night,

Luo Di, who was kneeling, slowly stood up.

The pale waning moon hung directly overhead.

He held the zombie’s head in mid-air, as if proclaiming victory or displaying spoils of war.

This scene completely dispelled the tension in everyone’s hearts, and it was over!

Ignoring the filth that had gotten on his body while suppressing the zombie, the squad leader quickly stood up and slapped the zombie hard on the back.

” Luo Di, you’re really something! Although there has been some related practical training in school physical education classes, it’s only some basic stuff.”

Have you systematically studied knife skills?

Luo Di, who was holding the zombie’s head, was enjoying a sense of closure similar to that of a movie plot, when the class monitor’s words suddenly pulled him back to reality.

“I haven’t studied it; I just often chop vegetables and cook at home.”

You have complete control over this thing. If I can’t even do the most basic logging, then I wouldn’t qualify to participate in this experiment.

The class monitor’s attention was diverted again. “Cooking, huh? I’ve heard you say that so many times already. I definitely want to try your cooking next time… Also, throw away what you’re holding right now, it’s disgusting!”

Luo Di then realized that he was still holding the zombie’s head in his hand.

However, he did not throw it away directly. Instead, he carefully placed it on the ground, picked up Machete again, and split it into four pieces to avoid the possibility of resurrection.

Boom!

Lightning flashed through the clouds.

The same heavy rain as during the day fell again, as if the research institute could precisely control the weather in the mountains, thereby washing away the grime from everyone.

At the same time, a broadcast came from the mountain forest:

The simulation anomaly has been cleared. This exercise is now ending early. Participants, please take your belongings and descend the mountain as soon as possible. Our vehicles will take you to the nearest research institute area for a short rest, after which we will conduct a final summary of this exercise.

Upon hearing the broadcast, the weight that had been hanging over everyone’s hearts was finally lifted, and they were able to fully enjoy the cleansing effect of the rain.

“Wow! I didn’t expect to finish ahead of schedule. This means we can have one more day of vacation. Hurry up, go to the bedroom, grab your backpack, and get ready to receive praise from the research institute.”

When we get back, I’ll definitely treat everyone to a big meal!

At the squad leader’s call, everyone straightened their slightly tired bodies and returned to the old house to pack their things in the master bedroom.

Luo Di clutched the wound on his right arm. Although it had been disinfected with alcohol, black residue still remained inside, which could lead to a deep infection if not treated promptly. However, he was still immersed in the killing he had just witnessed and felt no pain whatsoever.

While returning to her bedroom, Gao Yuxuan also focused on her arm, or more precisely, her prosthetic arm. The scraped-off fake skin would need to be repaired later, but fortunately, the alloy material was not damaged.

Back in the bedroom,

The squad leader appeared to be packing his backpack, but instead took out a pre-prepared first-aid kit and grabbed Luo Di’s arm.

“Hey! One of the holes is almost rotten to the bone, it’s amazing you can still swing your arm. A lot of rainwater leaked in again, we have to disinfect it right away.”

The class monitor poured an entire bottle of iodine solution over the affected area, then wrapped it with a large roll of medical gauze. These were basic procedures performed in the school’s medical class, but the class monitor’s movements were exceptionally skillful and as gentle as possible.

Luo Di couldn’t help but look down at the squad leader who was bandaging his wound.

His eyes no longer moved away quickly as usual, but stared for a longer period of time, observing a person seriously for the first time.

The class monitor, with her messy and wet high ponytail and zombie-stained hair, looked more refined than she usually did.

The squad leader said as he cut the gauze:

“Fortunately, we have someone in our team who likes to drink. If it weren’t for the alcohol disinfection beforehand, you might have risked having your hand amputated and then you would have had to get a prosthetic like Xiao Gao.”

Gao Yuxuan, who was packing his backpack nearby, seemed sensitive to the topic and immediately turned his head, ready to say something.

His eyes seemed to see something, and his whole face looked frozen.

The brain urges the voice to deliver crucial information:

“Get out of the way!!”

Whoosh!

The axe fell.

The sounds of bones breaking and flesh tearing echoed inside the house.

When the squad leader heard the shout, he shifted his body slightly. He felt a cold sensation on his right shoulder, which then turned into a burning pain.

Turning my head to look,

Anna’s tactical axe had completely slashed into her shoulder, almost reaching her chest.

Luo Di, whose wound had already been bandaged, immediately braced himself with one arm and kicked the assailant in the abdomen, sending him flying and crashing into the side wall of the master bedroom.

The axe remained on the squad leader’s shoulder.

Everyone was stunned.

Because the one wielding the slash was Anna, who had the best relationship with the squad leader in the team.

They couldn’t understand why Anna had become like this, nor did they know when her transformation had occurred.

Anna, who had been kicked against the wall of the master bedroom, stared at the wound on the class monitor’s shoulder and revealed an exaggerated smile that didn’t belong to her.

Inside the mouth that is stretched open by a smile,

Everyone could clearly see that the curled tongue pressed against the roof of the mouth, and then it was struck down forcefully.

despair!

An unsettling clicking sound echoed in the master bedroom.
