Chapter 7 007 Superpowers

After looting the sixth floor, Chi Yingdong stood at the entrance of the escalator on the sixth floor, his gaze moving upwards along the escalator.

He silently considered whether it was necessary to go up to the top floor.

The top floor is a movie theater, but there aren't many supplies.

If you go, you can buy a popcorn machine.

Watching a movie or TV series would be even more enjoyable with a bucket of popcorn.

As he pondered, Chi Yingdong heard the sound of hurried, chaotic footsteps.

Listening intently, the footsteps grew clearer, accompanied by the howls of several zombies.

There are people at the top.

Chi Yingdong drew a conclusion and turned to go downstairs.

Popcorn isn't a necessity for her; she doesn't absolutely need to eat it.

However, among the survivors on the top floor, someone with sharp eyes spotted her.

The girl, as if grasping at a straw, shouted, "Downstairs, please help us! There's a monster eating people!"

Chi Yingdong frowned slightly, but kept walking.

She doesn't do things that invite trouble, especially in this apocalyptic environment.

Seeing that Chi Yingdong was still walking away, the woman became anxious and said accusingly, "How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless, leaving someone to die without helping!"

Her shouts were so loud that they provoked the zombies to roar even more frantically.

Chi Yingdong stopped in his tracks.

How can there be such a stupid person?

At this point, you're still stimulating the zombies' senses.

Chi Yingdong turned around and looked up toward the direction from which the voice came. It was a girl who looked like a high school student.

When the girl saw that Chi Yingdong had stopped, she thought that her shout had worked and a smug look appeared on her face.

She grabbed her partner's hand, ran down the escalator, and kept saying, "Honey, we're saved!"

The two quickly stood in front of Chi Yingdong, with their teammates following behind them.

Chi Yingdong calmly observed the group of people.

There were seven people in total: three men, three women, and a little girl.

The group of people were listless, their eyes were dark and bluish, and their clothes were stained with blood. All signs indicated that they had experienced a fierce battle the night before.

Judging from their positions, Chi Yingdong deduced that they were three groups of people who had temporarily formed a team.

A couple, twin brothers, and a family of three.

"Sister, my name is Xu Luo, and I'm an Alpha. This is my wife, Bao Qiujuan. The upstairs is full of man-eating monsters. You came up from downstairs; is everything alright down there?"

Xu Luo spoke at lightning speed, rattling off long passages without even taking a breath.

Meng Qinghe was initially surprised that this person spoke without panting, but then she realized the other person's name.

Looking at Xu Luo again, Meng Qinghe felt a sense of disconnect.

Xu Luo was the right-hand man she arranged for Qiao Ying!

Xu Luo is supposed to appear later in the synopsis, so why is he appearing now?

Moreover, in her outline, Xu Luo is a lone wolf, so how come he has a wife and daughter now?

Her storyline seems to have fallen apart, and Meng Qinghe is starting to doubt herself.

Chi Yingdong was quickly analyzing Xu Luo, her gaze lingering on the fire axe in Xu Luo's hand.

The fire axe head still had zombie skin tissue remaining, and there were dark brown bloodstains on the handle.

He couldn't help but feel a little more respect for Xu Luo. The theater was crowded, and hiding alone was not a way to survive.

Being able to quickly accept the current situation and respond to it already puts them ahead of many others.

The other three adults, apart from the annoying couple, also had things in their hands, such as baseball bats and hammers, but their weapons didn't show many signs of fighting.

As Chi Yingdong sized up the group of people, they were also sizing her up.

He secretly judged whether she was a 0mega or an Alpha.

In the ABO world, people do not judge a person's strength based on their primary gender (male or female).

Instead, it uses three secondary genders—Alpha, Beta, and 0mega—to determine gender, and there is severe discrimination between genders.

Generally speaking, Alphas are taller than 0megas, but they didn't think Chi Yingdong was an Alpha based on her physique.

However, Chi Yingdong was clean and had a kitten with him. He faced the zombies behind them with composure.

They don't seem like a zero-mega to them, could they be a Beta?

Betas have a low social status, but in the current situation, gender doesn't matter as long as they can be saved.

Just as Xu Luo was introducing himself, the zombies caught up.

Chi Yingdong glanced at it and did a rough calculation.

Not many, just seven or eight.

Whether fewer moviegoers led to fewer zombies, or whether more zombies were trapped inside the theater, remains unknown.

Chi Yingdong said calmly, "The zombies are here."

While giving the reminder, she also paid attention to the group's reaction.

The couple looked around, trying to find a place to hide.

The twin brothers gripped their weapons nervously, clearly conflicted.

They finally managed to escape from the movie theater, a place full of zombies, and they could have escaped the mall right away. Why did they have to fight these monsters?

"Damn it, I'll fight these things to the death."

After being chased and hiding all night, Xu Luo finally couldn't hold back and cursed, then picked up a fire axe and swung it at the zombie.

His wife tried to call her back, but ultimately kept quiet.

Bao Qiujuan looked around, her gaze settling on Chi Yingdong, pleadingly.

Seeing that Chi Yingdong remained unmoved, the woman clenched her back teeth and pushed the child forward.

"Go to that older sister's side."

Facing Chi Yingdong's indifferent gaze, Bao Qiujuan guiltily looked away.

"Please, please look after my child."

Perhaps not wanting to hear a rejection, Bao Qiujuan gripped her baseball bat and rushed back to Xu Luo's side as soon as she finished speaking.

Seeing that even the weaker Omega was fighting, the twin brothers gritted their teeth and followed.

The couple continued to back away, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they immediately ran downstairs.

Chi Yingdong noticed their actions and scoffed. He'd seen plenty of people rushing to eat, but this was the first time he'd seen someone rushing to their death.

Meng Qinghe's gaze fell on the child.

The little one, with fingers interlaced and fists clenched in front of his chest, stared intently at his parents.

She was clearly terrified, her eyes were red and filled with tears, but she bit her lower lip tightly, holding back her sobs so as not to cause trouble for the adults.

Well-behaved children are always lovable, and Meng Qinghe is no exception.

"Meow."

Meng Qinghe made a sound to attract the child's attention.

Killing zombies is too bloody, but Meng Qinghe, who grew up in a peaceful era, still retains the idea of ​​protecting children's hearts.

Chi Yingdong was surprised; the kitten behaved very well after going outside.

When she was killing zombies, she could feel the kitten on her chest trembling slightly. She was worried that the kitten would react to stress like it did in her previous life, but the kitten did not make a sound.

Suddenly the kitten made a sound, which aroused Chi Yingdong's curiosity.

As Meng Qinghe expected, the kitten's meows attracted the little girl's attention.

Staring into the child's wet eyes, Meng Qing's heart melted, and she reached out her paw to greet the child.

"Meow."

You're so cute! What's your name?

The little girl nervously took a step back and timidly murmured to Chi Yingdong, "Sister, your cat can talk. She said I was cute and asked me what my name is."

Meng Qinghe: ? ?

Chi Yingdong:? ? ?

Chi Yingdong looked down at the kitten, as if seeking confirmation.

Meng Qinghe didn't expect that the girl would understand what she was saying and would directly relay what she said to Chi Yingdong.

Feeling the gazes behind him like thorns, Meng Qinghe composed herself and turned around blankly.

Her round eyes were clear and innocent, and she rubbed her chubby hand against Chi Yingdong's, trying to fool him.

Chi Yingdong had always thought that kittens were intelligent, and now the kittens' self-deceiving behavior only confirmed it.

"You just asked her name?"

Chi Yingdong adhered to his principles and refused to be tempted by the kitten.

Meng Qinghe pretended not to understand and earnestly licked his paws.

However, under Chi Yingdong's gaze, she finally nodded guiltily.

Seeing the kitten nod, Chi Yingdong remained silent, only looking up at the girl's family.

She originally intended to leave directly, since she hadn't agreed to help Bao Qiujuan take care of her child.

But the fact that the little girl could understand the kitten's speech gave Chi Yingdong a different perspective.

Upon closer inspection of the fighting style of this group, Chi Yingdong frowned slightly.

These people have not received professional training. Although they appear to be fighting, they are actually mainly focused on defense and are using their strength in a chaotic and haphazard manner.

Chi Yingdong reminded, "Attack the zombie's head."

With a solution in hand, the group's attacks had a purpose.

More zombies fell, but they were still too slow in dealing with them.

The sounds of fighting, on the contrary, drove the zombies into a frenzy.

The zombies were tireless, but the group hadn't slept all night and were running out of energy. Several times, the zombies nearly scratched them.

The child looked at his family with worry, and Meng Qinghe was infected by the child's emotions, and also felt a chill for this group of people.

"Mother, be careful!"

The little girl was so quiet that she suddenly screamed, startling the kitten's ears.

Meng Qinghe turned his head and saw a zombie lunging at Xu Luo's back.

Fortunately, Chi Yingdong was fast enough, and the three ice spikes pierced the zombies accurately and swiftly.

The ice spikes pierced precisely into the zombie's head, arm, and thigh.

The cold air spread outward from the wound, freezing the entire corpse into an ice sculpture.

!!

Meng Qinghe was stunned.

When he went out, Chi Yingdong's icicles had not yet frozen.

Xu Luo, who had received help, looked at the fallen zombie with lingering fear.

It was so close; the zombie almost bit him, and he almost turned into a monster like them.

Upon learning that Xu Luo had almost been injured, Bao Qiujuan used a baseball bat to knock the zombie's head off and checked Xu Luo's back, asking, "Are you hurt?"

Last night, while fleeing for their lives, they witnessed firsthand how people who were scratched by zombies would turn into monsters just like them.

Xu Luo shook her head. "It's nothing."

He gently patted Bao Qiujuan's hand to comfort her, then picked up his weapon again to fight the zombies.

This time they fought even more fiercely.

They were initially hesitant, fearing they might be bitten by zombies.

But when they discovered that Chi Yingdong wasn't so heartless and would help them when their lives were threatened, they became less hesitant.

As if they had reached a tacit understanding, the group killed in front, and Chi Yingdong would occasionally help by delivering a finishing blow.

The zombies were gradually dealt with, and a pile of corpses lay on the ground.

After dealing with the zombies, the family of three hugged each other tightly, grateful to have survived such a disaster.

Watching the family of three embracing each other, Chi Yingdong gently scratched the kitten's chin, giving them time to process their emotions.

Having regained her composure, Xu Luo said to Chi Yingdong, "Thank you. I still don't know how to address you."

"Chi Yingdong." Chi Yingdong's gaze fell on the little girl. "Thank me, but thank your daughter instead."

She helped the little girl because she recognized her abilities.

"Yaoyao?" Xu Luo looked at his daughter in confusion.

Is it because Yao Yao is so cute that the other party was willing to help them?

Xu Luo immediately dismissed the conjecture. Although Chi Yingdong looked well-behaved and seemed easy to talk to, the way she looked at him suggested that he wasn't the type to care for a child.

As a lawyer, Xu Luo felt that he was quite accurate in judging people.
