Facing the four security guards charging towards him with menacing momentum, along with the only two survivors left, Ray's mouth slightly curved upwards. He remained calm and composed, tossing the nail gun onto a nearby sofa and pulling out a dagger to meet them head-on.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuqing, who had been hiding nearby with Ray, suddenly rushed out.
Puff, puff—
Holding a watermelon knife, although her movements were not very agile, she managed to injure the two survivors who passed by her with a sudden slash.
"Ah!! There's another one!"
"It's that girl!"
The two, with a deep gash on their shoulders, screamed in agony.
But it didn't end there.
The moment Liu Yuqing injured the two, without waiting for them to retreat, she kicked out a whip-like leg, hitting one of them in the head and knocking him unconscious.
The other, terrified by the fierce girl he had never seen before, was too scared to resist and quickly followed the other, knocked to the ground by Liu Yuqing.
This naturally caught the attention of the four security guards, who immediately abandoned their charge towards Ray and instead turned towards Liu Yuqing, who was closer to them.
"Catch her! As long as we catch her, that kid won't dare to act rashly!" the security team leader shouted.
Seeing so many people rushing towards her, Liu Yuqing suddenly felt a bit scared and couldn't help but take a couple of steps back.
She had already used up all her courage dealing with those two survivors.
After all, she was still a college girl with little experience in the world and had never seen such a scene before.
Fortunately, at that moment, Ray had already rushed over, placing his hand on her shoulder and gently pulling her back a few steps.
"You hide aside, leave the rest to me."
"Okay!"
Hearing Ray's words, Liu Yuqing quickly nodded, took a few more steps back, and hid behind a cabinet to avoid dragging him down.
The next moment, she saw Ray, holding a dagger, charge at the four security guards like a wolf among sheep.
One slash per person!
He instantly took down two of them!
Among the remaining two, one seized the opportunity to rush at him but was kicked to the ground by Ray's swift turn, then with a bend, Ray's dagger swiftly crossed the attacker's neck.
As for the last one, there was naturally even less pressure. A direct knee strike smashed the opponent's head into confusion, followed by a dagger thrust into the neck, completing the harvest.
The entire battle was executed smoothly and overwhelmingly dominant!
It must be said, his close combat skills were impressively strong!
From using the nail gun to kill the three who had split up from them, to ending the fight entirely, it all took less than three minutes!
These people didn't even have a chance to resist before they were all killed!
After the fight, to ensure none of the men were feigning death, Ray gave their heads an extra hit, then finally allowed himself a slight sigh of relief.
Wiping his dagger, he looked towards the staircase on the second floor, ready to call Liu Yuqing and take care of the two guards at the entrance who hadn't noticed the commotion yet.
But before he could speak, the sound of retching and vomiting came from behind the nearby cabinet.
"Let's give her some time to adjust!"
Ray shook his head, abandoning the thought of calling her over.
Picking up the nail gun he had left on the sofa, he refilled the depleted compressed air, loaded it with nails, and proceeded alone towards the staircase.
Dealing with the two survivors guarding the entrance was not much trouble for him, armed with the nail gun. As for their bodies, Ray simply dragged them one by one to the furniture store, placing them together with the security guards.
Although, as of now, there have been no discoveries that zombies can detect the presence of human food by smell,
the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!
So, for safety's sake, he had no choice but to proceed this way.
By this time, Liu Yuqing had somewhat adjusted, no longer vomiting, though her complexion was still a bit off.
Ray picked up a bottle of water and walked over to her: "Drink some water, rest for a couple of minutes, then come downstairs with me."
Just as Liu Yuqing was about to take the water, looking at the corpses on the ground made her feel nauseous again.
However, after a brief adjustment, she managed to suppress the nausea, took the water from his hand, drank a few gulps, and silently encouraged herself, "Liu Yuqing, you can do this! You must not become a burden to him!"
"I... I'm okay now."
After drinking a few more sips of water, Liu Yuqing looked up and said.
"Nausea is normal." Seeing her trying to act tough, Ray waved his hand and then said, "Let's look for the keys and get ready to go downstairs."
"Okay!"
Hearing that there was no disdain in Ray's words, Liu Yuqing let out a slight sigh of relief, agreed, and followed him towards the bodies.
Fortunately, after the previous bout of vomiting, she felt less nauseous now.
Then, as they searched together, they quickly found the keys to open the iron gate on one of the security guards.
"Good!"
After taking the keys from Liu Yuqing's hand, Ray breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn't found these keys, moving on to the third step would have been difficult.
"Did you just say we're going downstairs?"
At this point, Liu Yuqing suddenly realized something and looked puzzled.
She remembered Ray saying that the first floor was full of zombies. Why then did he want to go to the first floor?
"You'll know in a bit, just follow my lead."
Ray waved his hand, not saying much more, and walked aside, pressing his Bluetooth headset, he softly said, "Jarvis, how many zombies are there on the first floor now?"
"Sir, there are a total of eight."
Jarvis's voice responded in less than a second.
"How many are near the north entrance? And how many are outside, near the door?" Ray asked next.
Before making a move, he needed to have all these details clear; otherwise, accidents could happen anytime, which was not what he wanted.
"Sir, all eight on the first floor are near the north entrance, and there are twenty-three outside close to the north door, with the nearest one being fifteen meters from the north door."
Jarvis answered again in less than two seconds, after conducting a quick search through mobile phone positioning.
"Is that so? I wonder if we could use the mobile phone ringtone trick again to attract those zombies."
After hearing Jarvis's report, Ray pinched his chin, pondering.
"Sir, the eight zombies on the first floor were not attracted by the mobile phone ringtone or the noises from the streets before, so I would not recommend using the mobile phone ringtone again."
"Then we'll have to take a risk and go in hard!"
Ray frowned, gripping his dagger tightly, he said in a stern voice.
