Chapter 24: Temptation

The same thing happened to several others.

One or two would be fine, but when he saw that these blueberry jam sandwiches were almost wiped out, even Hu Zi, who was usually a calm person, became suspicious.

"That's not right. There are so many leaks. It's impossible that I didn't notice it before?"

Yan Chu picked up one of the deflated loaves of bread and turned it over and over to examine it carefully with the bright light of the flashlight.

As a result, she found a pinhole-sized hole near the seal, so small that it was almost negligible.

The lighting in the supermarket is average, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see this small hole at all.

Hu Zi, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw the small hole. "How could this be... could someone in the supermarket have done this?"

Yan Chu glanced at Hu Zi and said nothing.

If there is really something wrong with these breads, then the person with the greatest suspicion is undoubtedly Hu Zi, who personally sorted these breads and distributed them to them.

What's even more terrifying is that if she had really eaten the bread without any precautions, she herself might have turned into a zombie.

Yan Chu tore open the package and lifted the top layer of bread toast, revealing the dark reddish-brown blueberry jam filling inside.

Her guess was gradually forming in her mind. She guessed that someone had injected zombie blood into the bread sandwiches with a syringe or something.

As for why it was blueberry jam sandwich bread, it was probably because the jam was dark enough in color and not easily noticed.

So the woman had no external injuries on her body, but she suddenly mutated three or four days after entering the supermarket.

Because she ate it directly into her stomach.

The next step is to verify that there is zombie blood mixed in the jam.

Yan Chu leaned closer to the jam on the bread and smelled it.

Full of the sweet aroma of jam.

Yan Chu: “…”

I can't smell anything.

That’s right, if the smell was really obvious and could be smelled immediately, the woman would not have eaten it so easily.

What should I do? I can’t actually find someone to eat it to verify it.

When Yan Chu was in distress, a childish voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"Sister, can you show me the bread?"

Yan Chu looked down and saw that it was Luo Yiyi.

She tilted her head back and looked at herself with her big round eyes.

When did this child come here?

Yan Chu blinked, squatted down and looked at her: "Do you know what I am doing now?"

Luo Yiyi nodded, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, I have a very good sense of smell."

Yan Chu was stunned and looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him with some surprise.

Luo Yiyi followed them throughout the escape and behaved very well. Even someone like Yan Chu who didn't like children very much thought that Luo Yiyi was a very worry-free child.

After all, in an extremely terrifying environment like the end of the world, even adults may not be able to maintain such stable emotions.

Yan Chu thought for a moment and handed the jam bread in his hand to Luo Yiyi: "Okay, smell it."

Luo Yiyi took the bread, leaned in close to the jam and sniffed it carefully, then said with certainty, "It smells like zombies."

Yan Chu frowned: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Luo Yiyi said, and then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Actually, when Hu Zi gave me bread, I smelled the smell of zombies, so I didn't eat it. Later, I secretly smelled other people's bread, and only my sister's bread and mine had a strange smell."

Yan Chu immediately remembered that when Hu Zi went to get other food for him, Luo Yiyi, who was sitting next to him, said that she also wanted to change.

At that time, Luo Yu was a little embarrassed and tried to stop him, but the usually obedient Luo Yiyi abnormally raised the bread in her hand high and asked Hu Zi to replace it with a bag of biscuits for her.

It is obvious that Luo Yiyi is not a simple child who knows nothing.

Yan Chu turned around and looked at Hu Zi, who was staring at the deflated bread with a frown on his face.

Even if it is confirmed that there is something wrong with the bread, we still don’t know who did it.

Was it Hu Zi who did it?

Or someone else?

Excluding the five people who had just arrived, the person who tampered with the supermarket must be among these people.

Yan Chu has a method that can be tried.

However, the prerequisite for using this method is that Hu Zi must not be the one who did the trick.

She stared and thought for a moment, then waved towards Hu Zi: "Hu Zi, I want to discuss something with you."

**

When they returned to the gathering place, the zombies had been moved out and the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up.

Not only that, all the bedding and daily necessities used by the woman were thrown out.

There was suddenly a vacant space on the ground.

A short-haired man was spraying alcohol everywhere while muttering:

“Disinfection, disinfection…”

The others had different expressions on their faces. No one spoke and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

This strangely quiet atmosphere lasted until the evening. Yan Chu exchanged glances with Hu Zi, who was not far away. He turned his head to look at Gu Qinyuan, who was not sure what he was thinking, and suddenly asked him loudly:

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Qinyuan: “?”

He lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him who was blinking at him frequently, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, I'm hungry."

Yan Chu turned his head and looked at Chen Qianxing again: "What about you, are you hungry?"

Chen Qianxing: "Ah?"

The person he was chatting with just now suddenly turned into a zombie. This shock was a bit too much for him to handle.

But why did Yan Chu ask him this? What should he say?

"I... am hungry?" Chen Qianxing answered tentatively.

Luo Yiyi, who was standing by, raised her hand: "Me too, I'm hungry too!"

Yan Chu immediately turned around and shouted to Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, everyone is hungry. Can you help us get some food?"

Hearing Yan Chu say that she was hungry, Lu Yuanze immediately stood up: "I'll get it for you."

Hu Zi quickly stopped him: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Lu, I'll go get it."

Not long after, Hu Zi brought over a large plate of bread on a dining plate, half of which was filled with meat floss bread and the other half was filled with jam bread.

The sweet, salty and fragrant smells soon spread here.

Of course, these jam-filled buns aren't tampered with.

Both the toast outside and the reddish-brown jam inside were imitated by Yan Chu and Hu Zi using other bread and canned jam.

At first glance, it looks like it has just been unpacked.

Hu Zi carried the plate to Yan Chu first and distributed a piece of bread to each of them. "Coincidentally" after distributing all the meat floss breads, Hu Zi carried the plate to distribute food to others.

After so much trouble, everyone was actually tired and hungry.

There is no reason not to eat the delicious food that is served to your mouth.

When the others got the jam bread that Hu Zi gave them, they didn't think much about it and just took a bite.

Only two people rejected Hu Zi.
