Chapter 83: Soul Sight..
On the other side, in Liora’s villa, everything was peaceful.
Most of them had found a good spot to lie down. Their eyes could barely stay open after the endless wave of battles they had just survived. Mei had already fallen asleep not long after she finished healing everyone’s injuries. Her breathing was calm, her face pale but peaceful.
Everyone else was curled up in their own corner, quiet and drained.
Even Liora managed to find herself a slightly dusty couch near the corner of the room. It wasn’t comfortable, but it was dry and quiet, and that was enough.
Outside, the rain carried on. A slow, rhythmic sound that hit the windows and the broken tiles above them like a lullaby. It felt like the world was mourning with them, weeping endlessly for all that had been lost, albeit reality was far from it.
They had sealed the doors well. Nothing would come through.
Zhao Ren and Ji Ming had taken the turn to guard while the others slept. The two sat near the entrance, speaking in hushed voices so they wouldn’t wake the others—or worse, fall asleep themselves.
Other than those two... and Liora, everyone had fallen asleep. Just how tired they were... their bodies could no longer fight to stay awake.
Liora, on the other hand, only pretended to sleep.
Her body rested on the couch, her eyes half-lidded and her breaths steady, but in truth, she was fully awake. She was scrolling through her system panel, eyes quietly flicking across the flood of notifications.
After killing so many zombies tonight, she hadn’t gotten the chance to properly check them all. Now that she was finally still, her mind returned to the system that had helped her survive this long.
