Chapter 10
Murong Jiao followed behind those people, while keeping her eyes on the surroundings. Looking at their back figures, she could guess their identities. This small group consists of two men and two women, is her classmates.
Looking at their dirty bodies and weak appearance, she knew that they had no more food or water, and were forced to leave the university. It’s a pity it took so many days for them to leave the university. If they decide to leave sooner, it will be easier for them to find supplies.
She followed behind them, not intending to appear in front of them. As classmates, she wasn’t close to them. At most, they are just classmates who study together.
She doesn’t care if they call her callous if they know she can help them but decide not to. Before the end of the world, she had seen countless people smiling in front of her, but stabbing her in the back. Not to mention that now is the end of the world, and a piece of bread is worth more than a human life.
Murong Jiao followed the four of them and saw them go to the nearest shopping mall. There is a large supermarket on the basement level of that shopping mall. After so many days, there must still be a lot of supplies in the supermarket. They made the right decision to go to the mall, as long as they could survive from the zombies inside the mall.
Knowing that their destination was the same, she kept following them at a certain distance. Running on the street under the pale light of the red moon, the four kept running and hiding. The classmates are studying in the same faculty as her, and their way of thinking is the same as hers.
The four played hide and seek with the zombies, and arrived at the mall after more than an hour. Hiding behind an overturned car, Murong Jiao saw a classmate named Luo Yijun bravely approaching a lone zombie with an iron rod picked up from the ground. As a class monitor, he has a more sense of responsibility than others. It is not surprising that he will stand in front of others at this time.
Bam!
With a hard smack of the iron rod, the head of the lone zombie exploded. Luo Yijun stirred the zombie’s head with the iron rod for a while, then turned to look at the others and shook his head. Seeing his strange movements, she didn’t understand why he did it.
After the lone zombie died, the other three picked up any weapons they could find. Armed with iron rods and bricks, the four continued to march towards the mall. Seeing them moving again, Murong Jiao also followed.
When she came to the entrance of the shopping mall, she saw the flowers of their faculty check on the lock, and nodded to the others. Under the protection of the other three, Zuo ning opened the iron door. She just opened it up a little, just enough to let them in, and then shut the iron door down.
Murong Jiao was still hiding behind a car, and when they were far away, she quickly walked to the door and entered the shopping mall. After closing the iron door, she looked around, but did not see any zombies. She thought how lucky it was that it was midnight when the apocalypse came.
The mall is closed, there are no tourists, and only a few night guards patrolling the mall. But now, when she saw the backs of her classmates disappearing at the top of the stairs to the underground floor, she knew they were going downstairs to the large supermarket. Seeing that there was no one else around except the five of them, she decided to take action.
Looking at the shops full of supplies in front of her, she decided not to start from the ground floor, but from the first floor. Just in case her classmates had to leave after collecting the supplies, they wouldn’t be surprised to see empty malls.
As she decided, she quickly ran to the stairs and started to collect the supplies. Although the traffic of this shopping mall is not high, the area of this shopping mall is at least four times that of a football field. In addition to high-end decoration and unique architectural design, the products sold in this mall are also of high quality.
Seeing the things she had never touched before, she didn’t think too much, and quickly opened the store’s glass door with a baseball bat. Instead of using ordinary locks to lock the store, these stores use electric locks.
Without electricity, one would think the door could not be opened. But for her, it’s easy. With a swing of the baseball bat, the glass door was smashed directly.
Crash!
The loud sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the building. She waited for a while, but she didn’t see her classmates coming out of the underground supermarket. Seeing that it worked, she quickly received the goods at the first store, and then went to other stores.
The shopping mall has seven floors and four underground levels. The first basement is dedicated to large supermarkets and the supermarket warehouse, and the three basement levels below are the parking lot.
In such a large shopping mall, it took her three hours just to clean the first floor. There are six floors and a basement level left. Just when she was about to smash the second store on the second floor, she saw her classmates running out of the stairs with backpacks on their backs.
She squatted down and stayed close to the glass railing on the second floor to observe them. Not long after, she saw them open the iron gate and go out. The kind hearted Shu Quanru thoughtfully closed the iron gate again, and then left with the others.
She waited for another five minutes before continuing to collect supplies. Without having to worry about her classmates, she works faster and can clean a floor in just two hours. She wiped her sweat and repeated her actions over and over again. Smash the glass, collect items, and move to another store.
It took nearly twelve hours to pack everything up to the seventh floor before she hurried down to the basement floor. The sun was already slanted to the west when she ran down the stairs. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was past noon. She had to leave this mall before night to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She hurried down to the basement level and went straight to the large supermarket. When she arrived, she saw several zombie corpses not far from the stairs. Other than that, there is no trace of moving zombies or living humans.
Seeing that it was safe there, she went into a large supermarket quickly. Several shelves were empty, and there were signs of people hastily packing up the goods. Looking at the supplies scattered on the ground, she also collected them.
It was only thirty minutes when she finished collecting everything in the large supermarket. This is much faster than going from store to store to collect supplies before. Seeing the metal door at the back of the empty supermarket, she ran there quickly. The heavy metal doors also use electric locks.
Seeing the marks of being smashed on the door, she knew that the people who came before her also tried to open this heavy metal door, but they were all unsuccessful. But for her, that’s not a problem. Using her mind, she took out a sword from the weapon room.
In the next second, the long sword appeared in her left hand. Putting the baseball bat on the ground, she drew the sword.
Shing~
The crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed echoed clearly in the empty large supermarket. Looking at the long sword, she knew that this sword could really cut through the heavy metal door. Raising her eyes, she lifted her long sword and slashed at the heavy metal door with all her strength.
Slash! Crack!
