(The third update is here. If nothing unexpected happens, there will also be three updates tomorrow. As for when we will resume four updates, it depends on the situation, but it should be soon. Also, please give me a recommendation.)

The five of us ventured deeper into the supermarket.

What came into view were countless zombies.

However, Fei Lichao demonstrated the strength expected of a captain at this moment.

He stood at the very front of the four of us and whispered, "Lu Jing, you stay behind me and light the way. Xiao Nan, you bring up the rear. As for you two, if you still have enough bullets and don't want to die, listen to me and stay on either side of Lu Jing. If there's any trouble on the side, just shoot!"

"Leave the road clearing to me."

I followed at the back, constantly keeping an eye on what was happening behind me.

The zombies blocked outside the checkout counter will probably come in soon, so I dare not relax.

Gunshots and Fei Lichao's roar rang out ahead. I turned my head and realized we had encountered zombies.

However, the zombies were quickly dealt with by Fei Lichao and the other two guys, and we continued on our way.

We tried to keep quiet and walk very quietly along the way to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As I traveled along, one question remained in my mind!

Putting aside the zombies in the supermarket, when did those huge numbers of zombies outside appear?

When we first arrived here, there weren't many zombies outside when we crossed the crossroads. But now there are so many zombies right in front of us, and two of us are dead. This isn't an illusion!

I'd really like to ask those two guys who ran in from outside: since they saw the zombies outside, why didn't they use the walkie-talkie to notify us beforehand?

Or did they encounter an emergency outside and were unable to notify others?

Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the reflection I saw on the way here!

Could it be that there are really people around here, and they ambushed us after seeing us?

My brow furrowed, unable to understand what was going on. Moreover, the current situation didn't allow me much time to ponder it.

"Awooo!" A number of zombies appeared in front of us, and Fei Lichao stopped in his tracks.

Jingjie's flashlight beam continued to illuminate the road ahead. At this moment, there were many zombies lying on the ground gnawing on two corpses. These two corpses were obviously Zhang Zhihao's team members, but it was unclear who they were.

We dare not make a sound now because these zombies are focused on eating the corpses and are ignoring us.

To prevent them from noticing, we moved the flashlight beam away.

Fei Lichao gestured, and we prepared to detour to the left.

After all, there's no way to go on the right!

The guy on the left took the lead, and we stepped back a few paces, walking around the square counter in front of us, which was piled with bowls.

Immediately, we prepared to cross over.

Walk through the two counters to the shelves on the other side, then exit from the edge.

The guy on the left was the first to go through; his footsteps were so light that you could barely hear him.

Next up is Sister Jing.

But a problem arose just as Sister Jing arrived.

It wasn't that Sister Jing had a problem, but rather that a sudden crashing sound came from the checkout counter at the supermarket entrance, and it was obvious what had happened there.

Before long, we heard a lot of footsteps and roars coming from the direction of the cashier. Some extremely fast zombies had already appeared behind us.

Not only that, but the sound of the cash register collapsing also alerted the zombies who were feasting in front of us. They all stood up and turned to stare at us.

The three of us panicked immediately.

"Come here quickly!" Sister Jing called out.

But it was too late.

Because two of the zombies in front actually ran straight over!

The three of us had no chance to get there!

Fei Lichao raised his gun and fired, but in his haste, his aim was off, and the shoulders of two zombies were ripped open, but they still ran toward us with unwavering determination.

As for the other guy, after firing the shot, the gun in his hand went silent.

"Ah! We're out of bullets!" he cried out in panic.

At that moment, two zombies pounced from the front, and Fei Lichao dodged and crashed into the cargo platform!

The shelves were covered with fragile porcelain bowls. When Fei Lichao bumped into them, the bowls fell to the ground, and the ice cream shattered all over the floor! The sound echoed throughout the entire supermarket.

This is essentially giving directions to the zombies that are chasing after them.

I looked at the two zombies in front of me, and with one slash, I killed the one that was entangled with the other. I pulled up the guy who had been panicking and shouting that he was out of bullets, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm fine," he said, his expression appearing extremely flustered under the flashlight.

I didn't pay much attention until I saw Fei Lichao take down the other zombie.

I turned my head and saw that the zombies behind us had caught up.

I shouted to Sister Jing on the other side of the counter, "Sister Jing, run! The zombies are catching up!"

I don't know if Sister Jing heard it, but she must have heard the footsteps coming from the other side. I guess Sister Jing has probably escaped with someone else by now.

"Xiaonan, stop yelling, let's go!" Fei Lichao pulled me away from the place.

The supermarket was still incredibly dark. The zombies behind us were closing in quickly, but we were fast too. When they reached the porcelain bowl, the zombies slowed down.

We noticed that the zombies behind us weren't in a hurry to catch up, so we slowed down our pace.

As I ran, I noticed that there were far fewer zombies around.

I have no idea where we are. I was running around in a panic, and it was pitch black all around, so I could only run around like a headless fly.

"Doesn't this supermarket have a back door?" another person asked in a panic.

Neither Fei Lichao nor I knew his name. I said, "There should be one at the back door. Let's look for it again."

Fei Lichao said, "This damn supermarket doesn't even have a window!"

I know what he's cursing about. If there were a window, we could probably just go out.

"I wonder how Sister Jing and the others are doing now," I said.

Fei Lichao said, "Lu Jing isn't stupid; she's very smart. She'll be fine. Let's find an exit first, and then come back to find her. Otherwise, we'll just be running around like headless flies and we'll die sooner or later!"

Although I'm very worried about Sister Jing, this is the only thing I can do now.

With Sister Jing's abilities, she should be fine.

I looked around at the walls and said, "We should be on the edge of the supermarket now. Let's look along the walls; maybe we can find the door!"

The three of us grabbed flashlights and started searching for the exit, hugging the walls. We saw shelves after a short while, but couldn't find the door!

We did not give up, nor did we dare to give up, and we continued to move forward.

After walking for about three minutes, we managed to take down two zombies without any major incidents. Then, we found the door in the deli area!
