O
He might be a better match, but he was only slightly shorter than those two big guys.
He had all the muscles in the right places, standing nearly two meters tall. Compared to my 5’5” frame, we weren’t exactly a perfect match.
I don’t know why he still cared so much about his ego, even as a zombie.
I could only mentally roll my eyes and try to flatter him. After all, a wise person doesn’t seek trouble.
“No, that’s not what I meant. I… I’m just afraid of pain. I never said you were small!”
Hearing this again, Luke nearly ground his teeth to dust, looking like he wanted to devour me.
He actually did bite my shoulder.
At that moment, I was terrified. I had initially assumed that I was meant for breeding, so I thought he wouldn’t dare use his mouth.
Getting scratched wouldn’t infect me, but a bite would definitely turn me into a zombie.
Two–legged female zombies were hard to find, but two–legged human women were even rarer.
Just when I thought I was about to become a brainless little zombie, he suddenly released his bite.
There was only a shallow teeth mark on my shoulder, without breaking the skin.
He gritted his teeth and called out my name with resentment: “Chloe, even in the apocalypse, you still can’t keep your mouth shut, can you?”
Huh? I don’t think I ever told him my name.
Even if I was the leader of the survivor squad, I shouldn’t be that well–known among the zombie hordes.
Meeting those cold eyes, a handsome face with a reserved expression overlapped with Luke’s current appearance.
Uh…
I suddenly sprang up and gave him a bear hug, tears streaming down my face.
“I never thought I’d meet someone I knew here. I’m so touched to see you again, senior! You’ll protect me, right?”
I heard a slightly mocking snort from the man. “Chloe, that’s not what you said before.”
Well, it did sound a bit fake.
Before he turned into a zombie, he was a senior in the Finance Department, named Luke. He was also the city’s kickboxing champion.
Back then, I bragged to people that I could knock out a skinny guy like Luke with one punch.
I also said he looked like he wouldn’t be any good, and I wouldn’t take him even if he was offered to me.
Actually, it was just sour grapes because he had rejected my confession and humiliated me.
At this moment, I felt utterly ashamed of my past ugly behavior.
I thought I had considered everything carefully, but who knew I’d end up choosing an old enemy.
We were already at odds when we were human, and now that he’s turned into a zombie, how could I expect to have a good life falling into his hands?
Well, at least I get to sleep with him now, even if I couldn’t before. That’s not a total loss.

escaped on his own.
But he was injured trying to save Lily, ultimately sacrificing himself.
I didn’t understand it before, but now knowing that Luke was that second–in–command, things seemed to make more sense.
Previously, when Lily was with the Water Zombie King, he had no chance. Now that she was with the Fire Zombie King, he had even less of a
chance.
I thought he was blind to like a manipulative girl like Lily.
But this way, I probably had one more reason to convince him to team up with me.
However, Luke was very harsh towards me, to the point of disgust, treating me like a dog to order around.
So I didn’t dare to try to get close to him for the time being.
