Chapter 73 Little Pranks

Yuxiang chased after them, but it was too late. Zhao Yi and Li Lu had already disappeared into the intricate streets.

She stood there, scanning her surroundings, but she couldn't see the two people anywhere.

"Mimi, quickly help me smell where they went?"

Yu Xiang shook the Mimi she was holding in her arms.

Mimi, held in Yuxiang's arms, looked reluctant with her round eyes and meowed.

I'm not a dog! I wouldn't do something like scent tracking.

Yu Xiang didn't understand. She pinched Mimi's soft paw and said in a coquettish tone, "Mimi, please smell it for me! You're the best girl, I'll let you eat more tonight when we get back..."

Just as Mimi was about to raise her paw to show Yuxiang how useless her request was, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Yi and Li Lu.

Its little paws immediately pointed in that direction.

Yu Xiang looked in the direction Mimi pointed, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Wow, Mimi, you found it! You're amazing!"

Mimi looked up and glanced at the fragrance of grapefruit.

That's because I have good eyesight; it has nothing to do with my nose.

Yuka looked at the two people walking ahead and took out a string of firecrackers from her game inventory.

Mimi's eyes widened instantly.

How come the owner has all sorts of things?

She had accidentally put the firecrackers into her game inventory; she had found them while tidying up her inventory once before.

Yu Xiang held the firecracker, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

She glanced at her fellow zombies in the distance, who were wandering unsteadily through the streets.

Then she saw the two men go into a shop to search for supplies.

The pomelo fragrance, like a little thief, sneaked to the shop entrance.

She carefully lit the firecrackers, then threw them forcefully into the shop, before quickly closing the somewhat damaged door.

The crackling sound of firecrackers soon rang out, particularly jarring in the quiet street.

The sound acted as a signal, quickly attracting a group of zombies.

One of the zombies was a speed-type zombie; it ran as fast as the wind and bumped into Yuka, who was about to leave.

Yu Xiang's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the shop.

"Roar!"

There's food in here!

The speed zombie didn't understand why this fellow zombie would give it food, but the temptation of the food made it rush in without thinking.

At that moment, Li Lu inside the store was screaming in fright.

"Ah—zombies are coming! Who closed the door? And where did the firecrackers come from?"

Yuka listened to the sounds inside the house and smiled with satisfaction.

She hugged Mimi and skipped back home, humming a little tune.

Whether those two can survive depends on their luck and strength.

Who told them to be so mean and bully others first!

Ten minutes passed quietly.

Yuka stood on a completely unfamiliar road, her brows furrowed, and scratched her head.

She belatedly realized that she seemed to be lost and had no idea how to get back.

"Mimi, I'm lost, please take me home."

Yu Xiang looked at Mimi, who was nestled comfortably in her arms.

Mimi lightly jumped down from Youxiang's arms, and after landing on the ground, she stretched her body.

When it really matters, you still have to rely on me.

With Mimi leading the way, Youxiang navigated through several alleys and finally made it back to the pharmacy.

Shen Jia spotted Youxiang as soon as she returned, and her eyes lit up instantly.

He was the first to rush over, his face full of concern, and asked, "Sister Yuzu, are you alright?"

Yuka patted her chest and said smugly, "It's okay, what could possibly happen to me? I'm very capable."

Chen Yunfei crossed his arms and asked, "Little Yuzu, what exactly did you go about? Why did you take so long?"

Yuka shook her head, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I just played a little prank and attracted some zombies to those two."

Chen Yunfei's eyes widened. "This is just a small prank, but you're going to kill someone."

Yu Xiang pouted and said with a wronged expression, "But the other party tried to kill Shen Jia's brother first, and almost hurt me. I was so scared."

As she spoke, she gently patted her chest, feigning lingering fear.

Chen Yunfei looked at the fragrance of grapefruit.

She doesn't look scared at all. Little Youzi looks a bit like a black sesame dumpling now, with a white and tender exterior and a dark interior.

At this moment, Qiao Yan glanced at the time on her wristwatch and said, "We'll search for another hour and then go back."

Youxiang and Chen Yunfei nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yan turned and walked outside, and Youxiang and Chen Yunfei immediately followed.

Shen Jia stood there, stunned, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

He didn't know whether he should follow them.

They probably wouldn't want to take on someone as useless as him.

After all, in this apocalyptic world, he was weak and powerless, and would only be a burden to others.

Yuxiang took a few steps and realized someone was missing. She turned around and saw Shen Jia still standing there, like a poor little thing forgotten in a corner.

She waved quickly, "Hurry up and catch up!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, a smile as warm as the winter sun.

He also has two cute little tiger teeth, and for a moment he looked somewhat similar to Yu Xiang.

He ran quickly toward Youxiang and the others, and Chen Yunfei put his arm around his thin shoulder, "Why were you standing there in a daze? We'll take you back to the base in a bit."

"Um."

Shen Jia nodded slightly.

His fingers unconsciously gripped his backpack, his heart filled with worry.

Now that he's found the medicine, all he can think about is his sick father back at the base. He wants to go back and check on his father as soon as possible.

It was rare for someone to be willing to take him back to the base, and it would be inappropriate for him to ask to go back earlier. After all, searching for supplies is a very important matter right now, and he didn't want to delay everyone because of his personal matters.

So he silently suppressed his anxious feelings.

An hour later.

Shen Jia hugged his bulging backpack, which was heavy and filled with supplies he had painstakingly found over the past hour.

He was filled with gratitude. He had originally intended to give all the hard-won supplies to Youxiang and the others, since they had helped him so much.

But Yuka and the others resolutely refused.

When Youxiang tilted her head and said with bright eyes, "Little brother Shen Jia, you should keep these for yourself. You worked so hard to find them."

This moved Shen Jia so much that her eyes welled up with tears.

Moreover, during that hour, Chen Yunfei intentionally or unintentionally taught him some combat techniques.

"Brother Chen, why don't we just go to the car together instead of having Sister Youzi and the others drive it over?"

Shen Jia asked curiously, her eyes full of doubt.

Chen Yunfei patted Shen Jia on the head.

"Wouldn't it be better to walk a little less? Look at your body, you're as thin as a bamboo pole. Eat more, otherwise you won't have the strength to deal with zombies. When the zombies pounce on you, you won't even have the strength to fight back."

Shen Jia nodded.
