Chapter 21 Under Control
On each of Yu Xiang's ten fingers, she wore a beautiful ring that shimmered captivatingly in the sunlight.
She also wore an exquisite and gorgeous necklace.
She was like a walking jewelry display case, her face beaming with satisfaction as she skipped and hopped out of the shop.
She put all the jewelry she couldn't wear into her game inventory.
I'll change the one I wear every day, so I'll be a different, prettier little zombie every day!
Qin Zhuo followed behind her, seemingly helpless, but his gaze on Youxiang held an indescribable doting affection.
Yuxiang suddenly reached out and waved her hand in front of Qin Zhuo, "Does it look good?"
Qin Zhuo pinched her cheek. "Beautiful."
After that, Qin Zhuo went into many more shops and found a lot of useful supplies.
Yu Xiang was still basking in the joy of having just acquired a bunch of beautiful jewelry, so she didn't cause any trouble or clamor for crystal cores.
After all, she wouldn't need the crystal cores, as Qin Zhuo hadn't seen any zombies along the way.
This situation made Qin Zhu feel uneasy, as if something was amiss.
"Let's go back!"
Qin Zhuo suddenly pulled Youxiang and started walking back.
Before Yu Xiang could react, Qin Zhuo pulled her along at a jog.
Qin Zhuo sped up and returned to where he had parked.
The SUV was still parked there quietly.
Qin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems he was overthinking it.
Chen Yunfei was leaning against the car smoking. Through the swirling smoke, he saw Qin Zhuo and Youxiang return. He quickly threw away his cigarette butt and asked, "Brother Qin, you're back so soon?"
He Xiaoman, who was sitting in the car, also looked at Qin Zhuo and Youxiang.
The two of them were empty-handed, except for Yuka who had some jewelry on her body.
He Xiaoman felt a wave of disdain. It was the end of the world, and this woman still liked these useless things.
Brother Qin must have been so busy looking for these broken pieces of jewelry that he didn't find any other supplies.
Qin Zhuo ignored their gazes and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave now."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a zombie leaped down from a high building and landed heavily on top of the car with a thud.
The zombie reeked of decay, its skin withered and bluish-gray, its empty eye sockets flashing with an eerie red light. It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar: "Roar—"
Chen Yunfei was startled by this sudden turn of events, but reacted quickly, opening the back door and shouting at He Xiaoman, "Get out of the car! Don't just stand there!"
He Xiaoman turned pale with fright and scrambled off the car in a panic.
As soon as they got out of the car, the zombie suddenly raised its arm, and a sharp wind blade whistled out from its hand.
With a "crack," the off-road vehicle was split in two, with parts and fragments flying everywhere.
"ah--"
He Xiaoman screamed in fright.
Then, she pointed tremblingly to the left, "Zombies over there! So many zombies!"
A large horde of zombies surged toward them, roaring and howling.
The scale of this zombie horde was larger than any Qin Zhuo had ever encountered before; the densely packed zombies stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yu Xiang looked at her fellow hamsters, her originally round eyes widening instantly, her little mouth slightly open, like a frightened little hamster.
These fellow humans have gone mad, their murderous intent is so strong, it's terrifying!
To Yu Xiang, the zombies kept shouting, "Humans, kill, kill, kill!"
Qin Zhuo shouted, "Run! Don't stop! Little Youzi, stay close to me!"
Yuka instinctively turned and ran after him.
But as she ran, Yuxiang gradually slowed down.
Wait a minute, why is she running away?
She's a zombie, not a human.
Qin Zhuo noticed that Youxiang was slowing down. He rushed forward, grabbed Youxiang's hand, and shouted anxiously, "Little Youzi, what are you doing! What are you spacing out for? Run!"
Yu Xiang shuddered, like a startled rabbit, and continued running following Qin Zhuo's momentum.
For a moment, her mind went blank, and she instinctively wanted to join the horde of zombies, as if that was where she belonged.
He Xiaoman was already physically weak, and after running a few steps she began to pant and her steps became unsteady.
Soon, she couldn't run anymore. She lost focus for a moment, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.
As luck would have it, she bumped into Yuzuru in front of her.
Qin Zhuo and Youxiang were forced to let go of each other's hands.
"Clang!"
Youxiang and He Xiaoman rolled around in a ball and crashed hard into the glass door of a nearby shop.
I'm so dizzy!
Yu Xiang felt dizzy and her ears were ringing.
She instinctively curled up, clutching her head tightly with both hands, trying to relieve the dizziness.
He Xiaoman lay on the ground, breathing heavily, her eyes fixed on Youxiang, who was still in a daze.
At that moment, the chilling roars of the zombies behind them grew closer and closer.
She looked at Yuxiang's unguarded appearance, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.
She suddenly reached out and pushed the unsuspecting Yuka into the horde of zombies.
Yuxiang vanished instantly into the dense horde of zombies.
He Xiaoman glanced in the direction where the fragrance of pomelo had disappeared.
That's how the world is in the apocalypse; the weak are destined to be eliminated, so you can't blame her.
Immediately afterwards, He Xiaoman pushed herself up with both hands, quickly got up, and ran away as fast as she could without looking back.
"Little Yuzu—" Qin Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot. He was like an angry lion, wanting to rush into the zombie horde to save Yuzu.
Chen Yunfei grabbed Qin Zhuo and shouted anxiously, "Brother Qin, Xiao Youzi is a zombie, she'll be fine. If we rush in now, we might all get caught."
Qin Zhuo regained his senses and glanced at the zombie horde.
From afar, I saw Yuxiang standing bewildered in the horde of zombies, being knocked around and staggered by the zombies around her.
No zombies harmed her; they simply passed by her as if she were invisible.
Qin Zhuo gritted his teeth, turned to Chen Yunfei and said, "Let's go."
The voice carried a hint of helplessness and resentment.
Now is not the time to act impulsively.
He will find Little Yuzu.
"Roar..." Yuka puffed out her cheeks and roared angrily at the zombies around her.
Don't bump into her, her clothes are dirty.
Surrounding zombies: "Roar! Roar! Roar!" (Killing humans!)
These zombies are like pre-programmed robots, mechanically repeating instructions to kill humans, completely devoid of their own thoughts.
Yuka saw that no zombies were paying attention to her, but zombies were still bumping into her like headless flies.
She walked away from the horde of zombies, muttering to herself as she went, "What a bunch of rude people. I'm ignoring you. I'll just walk by myself."
But as she walked, Yuka suddenly turned around and walked back.
She, like the zombies around her, uttered the zombie phrase "kill humans."
