Xia Zhi Yue watched the bickering group with deep worry. At a time like this, they were still arguing about trivial matters. Wasn't the most important thing to survive and leave this place?
As for their grudges, couldn't they settle them later after they were alive?
Their phones had lost signal, so they couldn't contact anyone outside, nor did they know the current situation. However, since zombies had already appeared, the situation outside was likely not good either.
The outside was indeed chaotic. This city was the most affected by the agent, so the number of zombies nationwide was definitely high. But at the same time, superpowered individuals would also appear here first.
In this supermarket, there was one such individual awakening. His name was Fang He Yu, and he was the store manager.
When he opened the door for someone, he was unfortunately splashed with bloody rain. Fortunately, it wasn't much, and his skin only felt a slight itch.
Fang He Yu didn't pay it any mind, thinking he had been bitten by an insect. It wasn't until this morning that he suddenly developed a high fever. Just as he thought he was going to die, someone gently gave him some water and helped him cool down.
Fang He Yu suddenly found the motivation to live. He wanted to open his eyes and see who this kind person was, so he could thank her.
Xia Zhi Yue had no idea that the patient she was taking care of had such a rich inner monologue. She simply couldn't bear to see someone burn into a fool in front of her.
When she was young, Xia Zhi Yue had seen her mother treat people, and later she learned some simple healing methods. Although she wasn't a benevolent healer, she was kind-hearted.
Fang He Yu woke up in the evening. He extended his palm, and guided by a strange aura he felt, he silently reached out his hand. A faint stream of water suddenly flowed from his palm.
As a seasoned novel enthusiast, he understood that he had awakened a superpower from the novels. Although it was unexpected, he felt that since zombies had appeared, the existence of superpowers was not something unacceptable.
Everything in heaven and earth had its own laws. All things were interconnected and mutually restrained. Perhaps humans had superpowers to defeat those zombies that had broken free from human limitations.
Fang He Yu wasn't thinking that far ahead. He had never had any grand ambitions. Now, he only had one wish: to survive this disaster. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Thank you!" Fang He Yu said hoarsely, having just woken up.
"No need! It was just a small favor!" Xia Zhi Yue nodded indifferently, not wanting to get involved with anyone.
Fang He Yu smiled, with the vitality of a young man, "Still, thank you very much. After all, among so many people, only you were willing to lend me a hand."
Fang He Yu had experienced the coldness of human nature many years ago. Since then, he had become even more grateful for the help of strangers. Therefore, seeing someone willing to help him amidst life and death, Fang He Yu made up his mind to protect her in this apocalypse.
The zombies outside seemed to be getting more agitated by the minute, unable to break in and attracted by the scent of food.
One of the zombies suddenly sniffed the ground and then, as if smelling a more delicious meal, crawled away in a certain direction.
In the eyes of the crowd, these grotesque zombies seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, some zombies continued to lurk outside, while others moved off in a particular direction.
The crowd was stunned, and then their faces showed a hint of joy.
Si Na Wan hesitated for a moment, then turned to the crowd and said, "As you can see, some of these zombies have left. With the remaining zombies, if we work hard, we have a good chance of surviving and leaving here. Do you want to take a gamble with me?"
Wang Xi timidly retorted, "Easier said than done. We are all weak and defenseless. How can we possibly defeat these monsters?"
Shi Ci Tian, for once, didn't contradict her, clearly agreeing with her statement.
"Then should we just wait here to die? The zombies are blocking the exit, and the food in the supermarket will run out sooner or later. What will we do then?" Fang He Yu stepped forward to support Si Na Wan.
"Axi, what they're saying makes sense. We don't know what the situation is like outside, so it's unrealistic to expect someone to come and rescue us," said a refined young man, who seemed to be Wang Xi's boyfriend, encouraging his girlfriend.
"But..." Wang Xi's expression was conflicted.
"How about we vote? Whether to hide here and wait for a rescue that may never come, or to fight for a sliver of hope for yourselves. It's up to each of you to decide!" Xia Zhi Yue said, her face resolute.
There were a total of eleven people in the supermarket, including those who had been hiding in the corners. In the end, seven people chose to go out.
"No, I don't want to!" Shi Ci Tian screamed, her face full of resistance.
"Then you can stay here by yourself! We're leaving anyway," Fang He Yu said, appearing unusually cold. His kindness and patience were reserved only for those he deemed worthy.
Shi Ci Tian's expression was one of struggle, but seeing others pick up weapons and prepare to leave, she was even more afraid to stay alone. Trembling, she followed behind the group.
Since a wave of zombies had already left, there was only one zombie left, aimlessly banging against the window outside the supermarket.
After the group moved the heavy objects away from the window, Fang He Yu and Si Na Wan, armed with sticks, attacked the zombie from front and back.
The zombie only had time to let out a roar before being dazed by the falling blows. Before it could react, the two of them bolted. They weren't naive enough to believe that one beating would kill the zombie.
The zombie staggered to its feet, clearly disoriented by what had just happened. However, seeing its prey about to escape, it frantically began to call for its companions.
And so, a large horde of zombies was seen chasing a group of people down the street, a truly spectacular sight.
"A car! We need a car," Fang He Yu shouted.
"I know, there's an RV ahead. But I'm not sure if it's still there," Xia Zhi Yue immediately remembered the car she had driven there in.
"Don't worry about it too much, let's hope it's still there!" Si Na Wan yelled, pulling Shi Ci Tian, who was almost falling behind.
They no longer had the strength to travel to another location. If they couldn't escape, they would become food for these zombies.
At this moment, Xia Zhi Yue was incredibly grateful that she was wearing flat shoes today. If she had been wearing high heels, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape now.
The group arrived at the location Xia Zhi Yue had mentioned. To their relief, the RV she had spoken of was still there.
Xia Zhi Yue handed the keys to Fang He Yu, and the group got into the car. Fang He Yu's driving skills were good, and the car sped down the city streets.
