Carefully avoiding the zombies wandering the streets, Wei Xuan led Du Hang toward the tallest building he could see on the nearby street. The closer they got to the building, the more “crowded” the street became.
In general, any place where people resided in the apocalypse would attract a large number of zombies. Even during heavy snowfall, these zombies would not be buried in the snow like in other areas because of the human scent, causing them to remain active even at night. Since the food was located in the building right in front of them, all the zombies surrounding the area would continue to walk around and wave their arms, preventing excessive accumulation of snow on their bodies.
As Wei Xuan and Du Hang approached the area, they saw a large group of zombies tightly surrounding the building…
“How am I going to get up there?” Wei Xuan frowned and looked up at a big hole in the glass window on the third floor. It was clearly blasted open by someone using fire abilities, with several black burn marks around it, likely from Cheng Ma’s usual entry and exit point.
As for Bai Guangnan… If he always went out with Cheng Ma, she would naturally be able to fly into the hole and use a rope to pull him up. But how could Wei Xuan get up there?
Without a doubt, all the stairs, elevators, and anything that could be climbed to the second or third floor of the building must have been completely demolished by those two individuals. Even if he managed to squeeze into the building from the crowd of zombies, he would never be able to climb up.
But he couldn’t climb up through the big hole either. Even if he had a rope with him, looking at the bare surroundings of the hole, how could he find a point to anchor the rope?
With a puzzled expression, Wei Xuan looked up at the hole, hesitating. He could shout up there, but who knew if those two were at home or not? Which floor were they on? Would they be able to hear his voice?
Furthermore, if he shouted while standing among the zombies… those two individuals seemed to be unaware that his ability was immune to zombie attacks, right? In that case, it would mean exposing his trump card completely.
Unlike other ability users, Wei Xuan’s ability was too special, the kind that would make other ability users suspicious when they found out. For his own safety, Wei Xuan had not planned to tell anyone about his ability after the apocalypse, except for Du Hang, who was already a zombie and didn’t need to be informed.
The only ones who knew about his uniqueness were the zombies in the residential complex, who lived with him and couldn’t communicate with outsiders.

It didn’t matter if those two idiots knew about him planting potatoes everywhere before, since potatoes were food, and the more he planted, the more he could harvest. Others would simply think he had a strange mindset, just like those two.
But if they found out he couldn’t be attacked by zombies, even if they didn’t have any ill intentions, it wouldn’t be long before the news spread throughout the survivor community in T City that there was a human who couldn’t be attacked by zombies and was planting potatoes everywhere.
Wei Xuan furrowed his brows, lost in thought, and as he looked around, Du Hang followed his gaze and then turned to look at him. After contemplating for a while, Wei Xuan began to survey his surroundings, then suddenly looked at Du Hang.
Seeing him facing him directly and making an inviting gesture (totally confusing), Du Hang leaned in again, and Wei Xuan took the opportunity to hold Du Hang’s face with both hands and with an excited voice, he said in a somewhat muffled tone, “You should be able to jump up there!”
When the mutated bird attacked last time, although Wei Xuan was carried under Du Hang’s armpit when he jumped, he could keenly feel how high Du Hang leaped!
He could jump from the roof and reach the vicinity of the mutated bird to launch an attack. That height was definitely higher than the third floor of this building!
After all, there was a limit to the reaction force of Cheng Ma’s ability, and at most, it could allow her to jump that high.
Du Hang, as a semi-zombie, with the help of his powerful physical strength, should not be too far behind the maximum jumping height that could be achieved by the maximum reaction force of the ability.
Even if you carefully calculate it, Du Hang, as a zombie with physical development as the main focus, should be able to jump higher than Cheng Ma.
After communicating with Du Hang using exaggerated body language and seeming as if his whole focus was on taking advantage and asking for kisses, it seemed that Du Hang finally understood his intentions. He swiftly held Wei Xuan under his armpit and jumped several times, leaping over the heads of the zombies surrounding the building and landing inside the large hole…
This series of jumps and the sensation of ascending made Wei Xuan, someone who hadn’t ridden a roller coaster or experienced extreme jumps in many years, feel his heart pounding for quite a while. He remembered the last time he rode a roller coaster was back in his sophomore year of college. It was organized by classmates, to the largest amusement park in the city where their school was located.
Since then, even at gatherings with classmates or colleagues, they would either go to karaoke or various restaurants and bars. Who would bring their colleagues or friends to an amusement park if they didn’t have a romantic partner?
Now, this soaring jump made Wei Xuan feel much more thrilled than any entertainment facility he had experienced before. Indeed, having a boyfriend made life different! His zombie boyfriend could bring him roller coaster-like excitement even in the absence of any amusement park attractions!
This building was very tall, with a height of 66 floors. Wei Xuan had confirmed through a telescope before approaching that the top floors of several buildings in this complex seemed to have been damaged in last year’s earthquake, with the roofs of the highest buildings cracked. Therefore, it was unlikely that those two individuals lived on the top floors.
But even so, it would be troublesome to search for those two individuals in such an outrageously tall building. The building was too tall, and each floor had a large area.
This was a modern and stylish building, and the excessively fashionable design resulted in almost everyone who arrived here being unable to immediately figure out how many rooms were on each floor.
The room doors, stairwells, bathrooms, and other facilities hidden behind the stylish design often required people to walk through and circle around several times to understand what kind of room they had entered.
Even the inconspicuous signs, most of which had fallen or been damaged during the earthquake, made it difficult for Wei Xuan to figure out where the stairwell was after he entered the third floor.
After reaching the stairwell, Wei Xuan looked down and peered, confirming, “They’ve really destroyed everything.” All the stairs below the third floor were in ruins, and the door leading to the second floor was tightly blocked by heavy objects.
Currently, there were no zombies on the second floor of this building. It seemed that the woman had deliberately cleared it for safety. The walls were covered in black and gray burn marks, clearly the work of Cheng Ma.
Having confirmed that the stairs leading to the fourth floor were sturdy, Wei Xuan dared to climb the stairs with Du Hang.
He wasn’t sure on which floor those two individuals lived, but he believed that even if it were him, he wouldn’t choose to live below the tenth floor in a high-rise building like this.
Although climbing stairs was troublesome, at least it was safe!
As they climbed higher and higher, Du Hang, who had been suppressing his instincts, couldn’t help but reveal a mouthful of small white teeth and emit a low growl from his throat.
Hearing his voice and seeing his appearance, Wei Xuan felt relieved instead. It seemed that he didn’t need to search room by room himself. Du Hang could judge on which floor those two individuals lived.
Climbing step by step, when they reached the thirtieth floor, Wei Xuan visibly showed signs of fatigue. His physical condition had improved quite a bit after the apocalypse, and he often climbed up and down between the first and sixth floors of his residential complex when he was busy. However, even so, climbing so many floors at once still felt a bit overwhelming.
“It seems that living in such a tall building may provide peace of mind, but it’s still inconvenient… Unless you stay up there all the time.”
Resting in the stairwell on the thirty-seventh floor, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but sit down and catch his breath. These buildings were not like residential buildings; each floor’s height was much greater than usual. Climbing one floor here was equivalent to climbing one and a half floors or more in a regular residential building!
Climbing over thirty floors meant he had climbed over fifty floors in a regular building!
Taking a short break, Wei Xuan finally managed to calm his breathing and stood up with support from his legs. He encouraged Du Hang, saying, “Let’s go! We shouldn’t be too far now!” Those two individuals wouldn’t live below the fiftieth floor for sure. Because he was facing Wei Xuan, Du Hang naturally leaned closer and managed to get another kiss.
Encouraged by his lover’s kiss, Wei Xuan climbed another twenty-something floors in one breath. When he felt like he was almost deprived of oxygen from climbing the stairs, he saw that Du Hang was not roaring at the ceiling above, but instead, his gaze was fixed on a nearby door, floor fifty-eight!
Wow, I would not survive anything Du Hang and Wei Xuan did I this chapter.
Ooof. Stairs, the true cruelty of the apocalypse… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
True apocalypse: You live in a highrise and the Lifts stopped working.
atleast these two idiots are smart enough to live on the top floor
Stairs and I don’t mix. Lol, I need to go to the 58th floor you say? And it’s like going up an additional 25 floors due to the spacing? Yeah no. If I didn’t pass out and roll down, I’d trip and roll down and break something and become a zombie snack.
Finally caught up. I’m really adoring this story, thank you for translating it!
Thanks for the chapter! I freakin hate stairs! I can walk for hours no problem, but stairs…the enemy!
I’m sure that I can do it, but it will take full day
Thank you for your translation 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I feel like the Fire Lady would just directly catapult herself up the stairs lmao the healing guy just has to walk, but also Wei Xuan doesn’t have to do too much physical labor, so I imagine he’s more out of shape than those two—
