Wearing a mask is much better; although I can still smell it, it's at least much better.

The entire market is about 500 square meters, and you can see the whole thing at a glance.

Since there were many spice shops around, and Li Xiao liked them, she moved in that direction.

No more zombies came into the store; they had all been lured out. Li Xiao went in and ransacked the place, collecting all the bottles and jars on the shelves that weren't broken.

I didn't take anything that was on the ground; it didn't look very clean, and I didn't know if it was safe to eat. I was worried about getting sick from eating it.

Li Xiao went into each store to take a look, and later found that two of them were wholesalers of disposable bowls and chopsticks. This would be good; convenient bowl boxes are still needed, and chopsticks and plates are also available.

Li Xiao happily collected the items in front, while Xiao Peng watched with wide eyes from behind.

This is amazing! There's such a superpower! It's so convenient!

Li Xiao turned around and saw Xiao Peng's wide-open eyes, which she found quite amusing.

When Xiao Peng saw Li Xiao laughing at him, he also laughed sheepishly.

One of them stood in front, while the other made some subtle movements behind them. Cheng Shaolin witnessed this harmonious scene when he arrived.

When Li Xiao saw Cheng Shaolin coming over, she quickly took a mask out of her pocket and handed it to him.

Cheng Shaolin didn't stand on ceremony, took it and put it on his mouth, covering his nose completely.

There was nothing edible left; everything had rotted away, leaving only mosquitoes and flies buzzing around.

The insects are bigger now; even flies can be as big as eggs. Just thinking about them attacking in swarms is terrifying.

Cheng Shaolin's expression was not good; Li Xiao had seen all of this before. She was used to it, but for Cheng Shaolin and Xiao Peng, it was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.

They had never seen so many flies and insects before, and it would take them a while to get used to it the first time they saw it.

Seeing that Cheng Shaolin seemed off, Li Xiao asked him curiously, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Shaolin turned to look at her and said, "It's nothing, I just can't accept seeing such big flies. Who would have thought flies would grow so big, and there are so many of them."

Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin with an expression that said, "You're ignorant." Although the mask covered most of her face, Cheng Shaolin could still tell from her eyes.

Cheng Shaolin wasn't amused by the expression. "What's with that face? Huh, are you starting to look down on me?"

Li Xiao's "you know that?" expression almost made Cheng Shaolin burst out laughing. He patted Li Xiao's head, truly wondering how this girl could have such expressive features.

"Mm." Li Xiao nodded.

"Hey." Cheng Shaolin laughed. "What did I do to make you look down on me, you little brat?"

Li Xiao curled her lip, looking down on someone as a "little brat," truly unbelievable. "You really have no taste, this is all you've got, you haven't seen much more." She said with a look of disdain.

"Wow, you're knowledgeable, you've seen a lot."

"Hmph, that's right. You didn't see it? It's so big it covers the sky, it's just not this big." Li Xiao said nonchalantly. But Cheng Shaolin and Xiao Peng, who heard this, were both shocked.

What would it look like if it covered the sky and blocked out the sun? Even if it's not that big, it's still terrifying.

"When did you see it, and where did you see it?" Cheng Shaolin pressed.

"Mingcheng."

"Mingcheng? Where did you see him? How did you see him?" Cheng Shaolin's expression grew increasingly grim.

"The vegetable market, where else could it be? Back then, the weather was hot and humid, before the sun came out. Flies and insects multiplied like crazy."

"What are you doing at the market?" Cheng Shaolin was extremely nervous, while Li Xiao looked completely relaxed.

"What can we do there? Collect supplies. That vegetable market is huge, much bigger than this one. There are also many wholesalers, they have everything." Li Xiao looked at the small vegetable market with a bit of unease.

Cheng Shaolin was speechless. They were even complaining. He already spent half a day working at this market, and they still weren't satisfied?

"You went alone? You're really brave!" He was furious with this girl. Not only did she run around everywhere by herself, but she also didn't care about her own safety. Just thinking about it made his heart ache, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't hit her. Ugh, he was so angry.

Seeing Cheng Shaolin looking like he was about to have a bowel movement, Li Xiao just stared at him, which made Cheng Shaolin even angrier.

He tapped Li Xiao's forehead with his finger, "You, I just can't do anything with you."

Li Xiao rolled her eyes and refused to look at him.

"Xiaoxiao, why did you decide to go there? It sounds very dangerous." Xiao Peng was very concerned. They had already seen a lot of things here, and what Xiaoxiao was saying sounded even more frightening.

"I just wanted to collect some supplies and head to Beijing, but I didn't know what the journey would be like. It's better to be well-prepared. So I just went."

Seeing their disapproving expressions, Li Xiao continued, "Actually, going in isn't so bad, there are just a lot of zombies, but I have a way." She then laughed heartily.

Cheng Shaolin was taken aback by her laughter. Could killing zombies be so funny?

Li Xiao looked at him with a "you're so ignorant" expression, and Cheng Shaolin was speechless. Am I that ignorant?

Xiao Peng then asked, "Xiaoxiao, what are you laughing at? What's your idea?"

Li Xiao stopped talking, walked in front of them, looked at the two zombies rushing towards them, and threw out the artificial mountain from the space, which hit the zombies right in the middle.

Cheng Shaolin and Xiao Peng were stunned when they saw the artificial hill that had suddenly appeared. With a loud "bang," the artificial hill crashed to the ground. Looking down, the zombies were nowhere to be seen.

⊙△⊙

Both of them stood there dumbfounded, their eyes wide open.

Then the two saw the artificial hill rising and falling continuously, and then they saw that the ground was covered with mud.

In no time, there were no zombies around.

Li Xiao put the artificial rockery away, and only then did Cheng Shaolin and the other man shut their mouths and return to their normal expressions.

Li Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "I can protect myself. I won't just go there casually. I'm not stupid. I'm not going to go and die for nothing. I haven't lived enough yet."

Xiao Peng looked at Cheng Shaolin, who sighed and said, "You can't go to dangerous places just because you can take shortcuts. Your superpower isn't very aggressive, so you still need to be more careful, understand?"

Xiao Peng nodded repeatedly beside him. Although they could smash them, what if there were too many zombies to handle?

Li Xiao understood her situation. "I know, I went once and I haven't dared to go since. Flies and mosquitoes were swatting at my face. If I hadn't been wearing a mask, they would have flown right into my nostrils. They were everywhere, what's a little bit here?"

Li Xiao felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled that day. Cheng Shaolin noticed her pale face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Li Xiao rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk.

Cheng Shaolin knew something was wrong as soon as he saw her like this. "Xiaoxiao?" He raised his voice unconsciously.

Li Xiao lowered her head and muttered something.
