One strike landed against the side of its head.
The zombie flew across the corridor and crashed through a glass storefront.
It rolled once and immediately stood again.
Yan Cijin looked at Bai Li.
"You could have warned me."
"You saw it."
"I did."
"Then I did not need to warn you."
Yan Cijin shook her head.
"Your logic is terrible."
The zombie lunged again.
This time Bai Li did not wait.
She stepped forward, met its charge, turned her shoulder, and redirected the entire body sideways. The creature crashed into a support column hard enough to leave a spiderweb of cracks around it.
Before it could recover, Yan Cijin swept low and cut through both legs.
The zombie dropped.
Bai Li's palm struck its forehead.
The head hit the floor.
The corridor became silent again.
Yan Cijin looked down.
"That was easier than I expected."
Bai Li examined the corpse.
"It was only level two."
"That is supposed to reassure me?"
"Yes."
"It did not."
