My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

Chapter 17 - No More Pretending, I’m a Proactive Law Enforcement Advocate



Seeing the two figures behind Meng Xu, Wang Zhan’s sinister smile froze abruptly.

His expression quickly turned to one of pure terror!

“Holy crap, zombies!”

Wang Zhan cursed and, like a rat, swiftly retreated in a panic.

The yellow-haired guy, who had been playing dead on the ground, also sprang up upon seeing the two zombies and fled without hesitation!

‘Heh, that guy’s done for. The zombies will definitely eat him first!’

As Wang Zhan retreated a few steps, this thought crossed his mind.

But just as he was about to run, he suddenly felt a powerful force hit his back, accompanied by intense pain!

Wang Zhan felt a burning pain as if something had kicked him hard. He immediately yelled in anger.

“Damn you! Are you crazy?! Zombies are here, and you still cling to me? If you want to die, go somewhere else; don’t drag me with you!”

This guy’s lost it!

With zombies approaching, why would he pick a fight instead of running?

“You can’t leave; you must face the legal consequences!”

Meng Xu said seriously, kicking Wang Zhan down. He then raised his wrench toward Yellow Hair, causing him to tremble in fear.

“Roar!”

Manager Zhang and Chi Wei emitted threatening growls, their eyes piercingly staring at Yellow Hair and Wang Zhan, almost drooling.

But with Meng Xu in front, they seemed agitated and hesitant to approach.

This delay allowed Wang Zhan to notice the situation. He was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Why don’t the zombies bite you?!”

Wang Zhan’s eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening before him.

Why?

Why didn’t the zombies bite him?!

This made no sense!

Even though it was only the second day since the apocalypse began, Wang Zhan had seen enough zombies feasting on people to understand how horrifying these creatures were.

“Who… who are you?” Wang Zhan’s voice trembled; his gaze filled with fear.

Meng Xu shrugged, holding his wrench as he walked forward, “I’ve always interacted with you guys as a regular person, but all it got me was distance. Fine, I won’t pretend anymore. I’m a proactive law enforcement advocate of the company. I’m laying it all out!”

With every step Meng Xu took forward, Chi Wei and Manager Zhang, unable to contain their eagerness, leaped two steps forward. Their sharp teeth and bloodshot, savage eyes were fully revealed.

Yellow Hair shivered, already trembling from the terror of the sight before him, while Wang Zhan gritted his teeth, glancing towards the window.

After some hesitation, he made a resolute decision.

Jumping out of the window guarantees death!

Although the window was only on the third floor and the fall wouldn’t be fatal, the streets were teeming with wandering zombies. If he broke a leg or even sprained an ankle, he’d most likely die!

With this thought, rage surged within Wang Zhan. Clenching his baseball bat, he roared, “Damn it, I’ll fight you!”

With that, Wang Zhan charged forward instead of retreating!

“Everyone saw it; this is self-defense.”

Seeing Wang Zhan’s reaction, Meng Xu helplessly waved his hand and stepped aside, leaving a path open.

Eager and ravenous, Manager Zhang immediately pounced on Wang Zhan, his expression ferocious!

“Bang!”

With a loud crash, the baseball bat struck Manager Zhang’s head hard, deforming his skull instantly!

If it were a normal person, they would have collapsed by now.

But unfortunately, Manager Zhang was no ordinary person. Even with his head twisted, he remained ferocious and continued pouncing towards Wang Zhan.

“Damn it!”

As Manager Zhang lunged, Wang Zhan’s nerves were on edge. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. From the corner of his eye, he saw a silver wrench heading straight for his forehead.

“I told you not to trespass! Did you think I was joking about being a proactive law enforcement advocate?!”

“Apart from being a proactive law enforcement advocate, I’m also a proactive sanitation worker! Now I have to clean up your blood. What a hassle!”

“Still moving? Still moving?! With your build, you dare wield a baseball bat?!”

“Yellow Hair, freeze! If you run, I’ll let Manager Zhang bite you to death!”

“……”

The ruthless law enforcement enthusiast was using his zombies as leverage, beating Wang Zhan fiercely.

Both Manager Zhang, whose head was becoming deformed from the blows, and Chi Wei, with her half-zombified face, looked agitated, stirred by the scent of blood. They were raring to go, held back only by Meng Xu’s commanding presence.

Wang Zhan, dazed by the series of hits and kicks, found his vision blurred with blood. His entire body ached with fiery pain, involuntarily twitching. Even his breathing became shallow.

Meng Xu despised evil.

Show mercy?

For such human scum, Meng Xu had to strike with a heavy hand!

Despite being able to flee alone, Wang Zhan opted to shove his “teammate” forward before escaping.

Such people, Meng Xu believed, were best not left alive!

In a lawful society, they were parasites, bullying the weak.

In the current world, they stop at nothing!

Moreover, in the stairwell, Meng Xu overheard Wang Zhan and Yellow Hair’s conversation. For his safety, he couldn’t afford to show any leniency.

Yellow Hair had initially wanted to run, but Meng Xu’s shout left him paralyzed with fear. His legs gave way, and he slumped against the wall, trembling as he watched the suited Meng Xu brutally beat his boss, Wang Zhan. He didn’t dare utter a word, fearing he would be dragged into the conflict.

Two minutes later, Meng Xu calmly stood up, wiped the blood splattered on his face, and sighed deeply, saying, “I might have overdone the self-defense. It looks like I need to wash my clothes…”

Thinking about what to do after the excessive self-defense, Meng Xu quickly came up with a plan.

He pulled out his phone and said, “I’ll call an ambulance for you… And you, Yellow Hair, call the police. Let’s get the authorities involved. I’ll find my defense lawyer upstairs; we’ll see each other in court.”

Yellow Hair: ?

Yellow Hair was momentarily stunned, paralyzed with shock.

The world has ended, man!

You have two zombies standing right behind you!

Are you insane?

Yellow Hair regretted everything—following Wang Zhan into this building, coming here at all, and more than anything, trying to confront this crazy person in front of him.

This guy isn’t human!

“Beep… beep…”

Meng Xu attempted to call an ambulance, but no one answered. He felt a deep sense of regret and then looked toward Yellow Hair, frowning.

“What’s the matter? I told you to call the police. Are you deaf?!”

“Yes, yes, brother.”

Yellow Hair, shaking and pale, fumbled for his phone, quickly dialing the three numbers, his lips trembling.

“I… I called… Brother, I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to break in; I was wrong… so wrong…”

“It was all Wang Zhan’s fault; it’s all his fault… He killed people before; he should be punished. I was forced by him…”

“If apologies worked, would we need law and order?”

Meng Xu said calmly. He then pointed to a nearby window and casually said, “Just jump from here. I can’t be bothered to throw you out myself.”

“It’s the third floor, you won’t die.”
