Jiang Nian'an held five still-dripping blood zombie heads in one hand and used a knife in the other to chop down a zombie dressed as a security guard who was rushing towards her.
After digging out the crystal core, Jiang Nian'an wiped her hands with a wet wipe as she walked into the supermarket.
The city has lost power, and all freezers and air conditioners have stopped working.
It was very hot in mid-August, and the entire supermarket was unbearably stuffy.
More than twenty zombies dressed in supermarket uniforms were scattered throughout the supermarket, wandering between the shelves.
They would occasionally knock over shelves, making all sorts of jarring noises.
The lingering sour smell of the black rain mingled with the putrid stench of the zombies.
After being fermented at high temperatures, it became even more stinky.
In addition, the flashing emergency lights not only dazzled people but also caused them to feel inexplicably irritable.
Jiang Nian'an casually grabbed a clean towel from the shelf, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then quickly walked to the freezer containing ice cream.
While emptying the freezer, I opened a cantaloupe-flavored ice cream.
The sound of the ice cream plastic bag attracted the attention of the zombies nearby.
"roar--"
Under the illumination of the emergency lights, it quickly spotted Jiang Nian'an, a lively and fresh creature.
Its sound attracted the attention of other zombies.
In an instant, all the zombies in the supermarket walked towards Jiang Nian'an.
"Roar—roar—"
The roars of zombies rose and fell, and even the zombies outside the supermarket became restless.
A small, terrified scream came from a corner of the supermarket, along with a reprimanding voice deliberately kept to itself.
Jiang Nian'an picked at her ear.
They neither rushed to kill the zombies nor went to investigate the situation in the corner.
She turned and walked toward the fresh and frozen food section not far away.
First, I put the seafood that was about to flip over due to the power outage and lack of oxygen into my space, and then I emptied the frozen and refrigerated areas.
Then I went to the fruit and vegetable section and bought two-thirds of it.
Then I went to the canned goods section and collected all the canned goods.
Then they changed direction and continued towards the snack area.
While eating ice cream, she leisurely browsed the shelves for snacks she hadn't managed to stock up on during her shopping trip.
Then I went to the bulk goods section and the beverage section...
The zombies followed Jiang Nian'an around the supermarket like dogs on a walk.
Jiang Nian'an finally took them to the freezer section where there was nothing left.
'Pfft pfft'
After a series of sharp sounds as a weapon sliced through flesh, Jiang Nian'an stepped on the dark red blood on the ground and dug out the crystal cores from the zombies' brains.
She shook her slightly sore hands. "This knife is useful, but it's really heavy too."
It seems I'll need to find some lightweight weapons before my powers awaken.
I'll use this knife after my superpowers awaken, my physical abilities improve, and my strength increases.
She slung the cleaned knife back onto her back and walked out of the supermarket.
As she walked past the shelves displaying convenience foods, she grabbed some more.
The streets were desolate, and the survivors had mostly fled into the surrounding buildings.
At this moment, many people were leaning against the windows, staring blankly at Jiang Nian'an below.
She was seen eating heartily while dodging zombies, with a large chicken leg in her left hand and a bottle of soda in her right.
Jiang Nian'an had no choice; she was genuinely hungry.
Perhaps it was a psychological trauma caused by hunger in a previous life.
Since her rebirth, she has had to eat immediately whenever she is hungry, otherwise she feels anxious and uncomfortable.
As Jiang Nian'an finished the last bite of the chicken leg, she happened to walk in front of a hardware store.
She stuffed the chicken bone in her hand into the mouth of a zombie that was biting her, and then quickly went inside.
"roar--"
The owner and his family of three had all mutated into zombies. When they saw Jiang Nian'an come in, they turned around and pounced on her.
Jiang Nian'an kicked the male zombie to the ground with a side kick, then pulled an axe from a nearby shelf.
He chopped the female zombie in the neck with an axe, then quickly pulled it out and used the axe to smash the little zombie away. He then took two quick steps and killed the male zombie with two more axe blows.
The female zombie behind him, whose neck was already half broken, shakily stood up again.
Jiang Nian'an clicked his tongue impatiently, quickly turned around, and delivered a final blow to the female zombie's neck with an axe.
The female zombie finally collapsed.
After collecting the crystal cores from their heads, Jiang Nian'an began selecting items from the shelves.
The axe is easy to use, but it can't kill a zombie with one blow.
A saw?
Jiang Nian'an picked up a saw and tried it out on a wooden chair next to her.
'Sizzle sizzle'
Wood shavings were scattered all over the ground; they were quite sharp, though.
But...
Please, what zombie would stand still and let her saw its neck back and forth?
Jiang Nian'an threw the saw aside.
His gaze then swept over the hammer, wrench, screwdriver, and the like.
These won't work either.
Finally, Jiang Nian'an found a cleaver with a long enough handle in the kitchen of her residence behind the hardware store.
"You're the one!"
Jiang Nian'an's weapon changed from the large sword she carried on her back to a cleaver hanging at her waist.
By the time I left the hardware store, it was already dark outside.
The night without light is much more dangerous than the day.
Jiang Nian'an, who had been busy all afternoon, was tired and wanted to rest.
She quickly climbed onto the roof of the car parked in front of the store, then leaped up, grabbing the edge of the hardware store sign with both hands, and climbed up in a few quick movements before a large number of zombies arrived.
The hardware store and the row of shops next to it were all single-story buildings, which was a height that zombies could never climb up, but she could easily go up and down.
Behind the shop sign is a flat cement roof.
Jiang Nian'an immediately decided to rest there.
She took out a tent, laid out a moisture-proof mat, a thin mat, and then threw in a pillow and a summer blanket. Then she took her tools and removed the shop sign.
The shop sign crashed down, crushing a group of zombies.
"Roar—ho—"
The zombie trapped underneath roared and struggled incessantly.
The survivors hiding elsewhere trembled with fear at the sound.
"Hey~ Thank you for keeping watch for me all night. In return, I'll take the crystal cores out of your brains tomorrow morning."
Jiang Nian'an said something to the howling zombies below, then crawled into the tent.
She changed into clean clothes, then threw her dirty clothes into the washing machine, poured in the blood-stained detergent, and let the machine wash them by itself.
Her space has an automatic water supply and drainage laundry system consisting of a water tank, washing machine, power bank, and large water bucket.
All she had to do was empty the dirty water from the large bucket after she finished washing.
Jiang Nian'an yawned and fell asleep peacefully amidst the roars of the zombies.
With the zombies below guarding her, no one dared to disturb her; she was perfectly safe.
As for that annoying and terrifying zombie howl...
Jiang Nian'an said she was already used to hearing it.
