Yan Cijin stared down at the figure in the courtyard a little longer. Bai Li had just finished off another zombie with a neat downward slash and was already stepping toward the next one as if the fight had no end. The realization became even clearer with every movement.
And once Yan Cijin understood that, the rest of Bai Li's strange behavior made perfect sense. It explained why she kept pushing farther out instead of retreating. It explained why she treated each zombie as a target worth taking down carefully. It explained why the courtyard was turning into a graveyard so fast while Bai Li still looked like she had room to keep going. Her speed, her accuracy, and even her lack of fatigue all pointed in the same direction. She was not wasting energy for nothing. She was turning danger into advantage, one corpse at a time.
