She was surprised to find that the person who came up was Kun Yao.
"Oh, why are you here?"
"Are you the only one allowed to rest?"
Kun Yao lightly kicked open a door. This room wasn''t too dusty. There were two single beds in the middle, and some broken cabinets piled together.
"Of course not. You can join me, can''t you?"
Shen Yue immediately walked in, surveying the room.
"I''ve already chosen. Get out," Kun Yao frowned slightly.
"I think I need protection. To increase our chances of survival, it''s better if we stick together. Besides, do you think you can clean this room properly without me?" Shen Yue pulled out a white cloth from somewhere and wiped the bedside. The cloth immediately turned black.
Kun Yao''s face darkened instantly.
Downstairs, the remaining few looked at each other, unsure what to do.
Ding Jiajia cleaned the long table a bit, planning to sleep on it.
She also wouldn''t let the other three leave, persuading them all to stay in the hall.
Everyone found a place to rest. But just as they lay down, Ding Jiajia was startled awake by knocking on the door.
"Who''s knocking?"
Could there still be living tenants outside? Who could it be?
They looked at each other. The young Qi Zeming, being bolder, walked to the door.
"Who''s there? Who''s outside?"
"It''s me! Zhu Rui."
Ding Jiajia was stunned.
Qi Zeming turned back, questioning the others with his eyes.
The male voice sounded again: "I''m tenant 91. Open the door, quick! I barely made it here, hurry and open up!"
Hearing this, Ding Jiajia immediately walked over.
She asked excitedly, "Zhu Rui? Is that you?"
"Yes, yes, open the door quickly!"
Ding Jiajia reflexively reached for the door, but hesitated as she touched it.
At a time like this, no matter who appeared outside, it took courage to open the door.
"Open up, Ding Jiajia! Do you want me to die out here?"
Zhu Rui''s voice outside grew increasingly urgent, clearly very anxious.
"Don''t rush, I''m opening it now!"
"Don''t—" The others'' voices came too late.
Ding Jiajia had already opened the door. A man in his thirties immediately walked in.
"Thank goodness you''re alright!" Ding Jiajia went to hug the man.
Qi Zeming quickly closed the door.
"My God, I finally found you all." Zhu Rui patted Ding Jiajia''s back, signaling her to let go.
Xue Yangyang hurriedly asked, "What''s the situation outside?"
Zhu Rui looked terrified: "I don''t know about the others. Dong Feng and Chen Zeyu who were with me are dead."
"Dead?!"
"What happened..."
"Listen, we had just entered when I ended up in a room with them. They wanted to go out. I suggested staying there, but I couldn''t persuade them. I went out with them, and not long after, these vines suddenly appeared behind us... They were strangled by the vines. I tried to save them, but... There was a cracking sound, their necks broke, their heads lolled to the side, and they were dragged away..."If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent.

Meanwhile upstairs, a strange scene was unfolding.
"Can you not get so close to me?"
Kun Yao''s face was cold as she looked down slightly at Shen Yue, who was almost pressed against her chest.
"Huh?" Shen Yue turned her head, and Kun Yao immediately turned away.
The distance was too close, making it hard to breathe.
At this moment, Shen Yue was holding a black cloth, wiping dust off the headboard. But she had nearly pushed Kun Yao down onto the bed.
"Why didn''t you move away? I''m working so hard cleaning, and you''re just standing there watching."
"...I can do this part myself."
"Oh my, you should have said so earlier. My back is killing me from bending over like this." Shen Yue smiled, slowly starting to straighten up.
"...Oops!" Shen Yue fell.
"What are you doing?!" Kun Yao''s voice.
"What am I doing? I just lost my balance and slipped, that''s all."
Shen Yue, lying on the bed, tilted her head and looked innocently at Kun Yao standing by the bed.
In her heart though, she was frustrated: Damn, she dodged so fast. Otherwise I could have pressed up against her.
Kun Yao stared at her for two seconds, then said: "Give me the cloth. You go over there."
"Oh, alright, no problem."
Shen Yue agreed readily, then watched as the other woman tidied the bed with clean, efficient movements.
"Kun Yao."
Kun Yao''s hands paused, but she didn''t look up: "Speak."
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask how long you''ve been here?" Shen Yue poked at the worn mattress, found a spot to lie on her side, watching Kun Yao make the bed opposite her.
Here?
"You''re number 99, I''m 95. Not long before you."
Shen Yue wasn''t surprised by this answer and continued asking: "So how did you get here?"
This time Kun Yao was silent for a second, then asked in return: "What about you? How did you get here?"
Shen Yue played dumb: "I don''t know either. I just woke up and found myself at the apartment entrance."
"Is that so?"
Shen Yue nodded, then noticed the other''s mocking gaze fall on her clothes. She looked down at herself.
Sleeveless low-cut blouse, paired with a mini skirt...
"Hey, this is just how I like to sleep. Besides, although the apartment is creepy, the environment inside is quite nice. It has everything. I''ll change into something else when we get back."
Hearing this, Kun Yao gave a cold laugh: "Assuming you can actually get back."
"You''re scaring me..." Shen Yue narrowed her eyes, chuckling lightly: "Why don''t we sleep together then?"
Kun Yao was unmoved: "Sleep next to me, and you might easily become a corpse."
Shen Yue laughed exaggeratedly: "Wow, sister, do you like sleeping with corpses? Sister, you''re so perverse."
"..." Kun Yao seemed angered and didn''t respond further.
Not getting a response, Shen Yue wasn''t anxious. She just tossed and turned on the broken bed.
"Kun Yao, are you asleep?"
"Can you hear the movement downstairs? Someone new arrived."
Kun Yao had her back to her, not moving.
Shen Yue listened to the sounds below, crept out of bed to take a look. She soon returned.
There was one more person downstairs, but Shen Yue wasn''t interested in going down.
She was more interested in the person lying in the room.
Shen Yue quietly walked to Kun Yao''s side. By the moonlight from the window, Shen Yue could easily see her face clearly.
This person had great energy, very useful. If she could absorb a bit, it should be much more effective than the previous number 98.
However, she was very guarded and not easy to approach.
Shen Yue crouched by the bedside, admiring Kun Yao''s face for a while. Then she silently returned to her own bed...
Shen Yue was awakened by an itchy sensation. She opened her eyes groggily, and vaguely saw a vine rushing straight at her face! Just then, her body was pushed aside, and a figure rushed out from behind her. Before Shen Yue could see clearly what she did, that vine was cut off.
Shen Yue was about to go up and celebrate when the person made a move. Shen Yue suddenly felt a chill at her throat. Her mind hadn''t reacted yet, but her body was falling. The last thing she saw was the blood-stained long sword in that person''s hand.
"Ah!"
She jolted up, still in shock.
"Kun Yao."
Kun Yao''s hands paused, but she didn''t look up: "Speak."
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask how long you''ve been here?" Shen Yue poked at the worn mattress, found a spot to lie on her side, watching Kun Yao make the bed opposite her.
