Chapter 7 Zheng Shuang



The girl said timidly, "Big brother, I don't have any accomplices. I'm all alone right now."

Yuan Chuyi asked with a puzzled look, "Just you alone? Then let me ask you, how did you get into this supermarket? You better not lie to me."

The girl said with a sad expression, "My name is Zheng Shuang, and I am a sophomore at the Forestry University."

Due to several days of torrential rain, the school cafeteria was once again occupied by upperclassmen.

The girls in our dorm were just too hungry to stand it anymore.

So the day after the rain stopped, the four of us in the dorm decided to go out together to find something to eat.

It just so happens that one of our roommates, Zhou Yu, knows that if you climb over the back wall of our school, there's a supermarket not far away.

So a few of us came here, and after we had eaten and drunk our fill, we were thinking of taking some food back to school.

But just as we stepped outside, a bunch of cannibalistic zombies appeared on the street, biting anyone they saw. They were exactly like the ones on TV; it was terrifying.

Seeing this, we quickly went back to the supermarket.

So we stayed there for another two days, thinking that there was plenty of food and drink available.

Maybe if we stay a few more days, a rescue team will come to our aid.

On the night of the third day, we heard the sound of someone trying to pry open the supermarket door. Zhou Yu and the others thought it was the rescue team and hurriedly went downstairs.

Because I get dressed slowly, just as I finished dressing and was about to go downstairs...

I heard Zhou Yu and the others screaming and begging for mercy.

At that moment, I realized that it wasn't a rescue team at all, so I quickly hid.

Perhaps those people were afraid that their shouts would attract zombies, so they gagged and tied them up. Later, I saw a few young men dressed like thugs come up.

I searched the second floor for a while, but probably because there wasn't anything of value there, I went downstairs after that.

They were busy moving things downstairs until dawn before leaving.

I was terrified hiding behind the old cardboard boxes, afraid they would find me.

I didn't dare to come out until they left, and for the past few days I've been eating the food they left behind on the first floor.

Until I heard your voices today, I thought Zhou Yu and the others had told me out, which is why the scene just now happened.

Brother, everything I'm saying is true, please believe me!

Yuan Chu stared at the other person and said, "Then why didn't you choose to run away after that group of people left? Don't give me that bullshit about being afraid."

A hint of nervousness flashed in Zheng Shuang's eyes, and then she looked at Yuan Chuyi carefully and said:

"I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that if I escape on my own, I will die."

Yuan Chuyi looked into Zheng Shuang's eyes, but his memory was recalling some things from his previous life. He remembered that it was more than a year after the apocalypse.

The city's power structure is basically divided into two parts: the east side is a group of thugs and gangsters, and the west side is a group of former government officials.

To the south is a force comprised of the Chen Hua Group, and to the north is a force comprised of students from the university town.

But one day, this force from the university town in the north suddenly underwent a mass migration.

Coincidentally, just a few days after their migration, a horde of zombies suddenly arrived from the neighboring city of Linjiang, causing heavy casualties to all forces in the city.

I also fled the city where I had always lived after that.

However, I later heard that the reason why the forces in the northern university town migrated en masse was because there was a sensory ability user in the university town.

But nobody knows the exact name of that superhuman.

Could this Zheng Shuang be the same person who possessed sensory abilities in her past life?

Yuan Chuyi thought to himself, if Zheng Shuang really is the perceiver from his past life, then he has hit the jackpot.

If not, I won't lose anything; it's just a matter of paying for a few meals.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chu said to Zheng Shuang, "Alright, I'll believe you for now, and let's just let bygones be bygones regarding your assassination attempt on me."

Yuan Chuyi said firmly to Tang Yan, "Since there's nothing here, let's get in the car." With that, she turned and walked out.

At this moment, Zheng Shuang suddenly grabbed Yuan Chuyi and pleaded, "Big brother, can you take me with you?"

I can help you with chores, I can cook, I can do laundry, I can do anything, as long as you can take me with you.

Tang Yan glanced at Yuan Chuyi with a hint of pity and said, "Why don't we take her with us?"

She's just a little girl, and she's really pitiful. If we leave like this, she'll likely be kidnapped by those people again.

When Zheng Shuang saw that Tang Yan was speaking up for her, she quickly expressed her opinion.

"Don't worry, brother. I eat very little. I'll go out with you to find food. I won't eat or drink for free, so please take me with you!"

Yuan Chuyi put on a thoughtful expression, as if he had made up his mind, and said:

"Okay, but you need to know one thing: I'm the one in charge in this team."

Don't ask why I make decisions, and some things are best kept to yourself; don't tell anyone else. If you can do that, then come with us.

Zheng Shuang nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "Don't worry, I can do it."

Inside the base vehicle, Zheng Shuang looked at the futuristic world with surprise, while at the same time making up her mind to follow this mysterious man.

Yuan Chuyi, who was driving, had been observing Zheng Shuang's every move in the rearview mirror. Suddenly, he asked, "Why didn't you ask me to save your companion?"

Zheng Shuang hesitated and said, "At first, I wanted you to help save my companion, but when I had this idea..."

I don't know why I feel a little uneasy. I really trust this feeling.

Yuan Chuyi glanced at Zheng Shuang a few times through the rearview mirror and asked, "How many times have you experienced this kind of unease?"

Zheng Shuang answered the question cautiously, "It should be four times. The first time was at school, when my roommates said they were going to the cafeteria to find something to eat."

I had a very bad feeling at that time, as if we would never come back if we went there.

The second time was before those bastards came to the supermarket, I had a feeling that danger was coming.

"When I was trying to assassinate you, I felt I wasn't in any danger. The last time I asked for your help was when I wanted to save my partner."

"So, it's a bit dangerous if we go to rescue your companion?"

And is this feeling directed at you personally, or at the three of us?

Zheng Shuang stated definitively, "It's the three of us, because I wanted the three of us to go together to rescue my companion."

Yuan Chuyi then asked, "If you're thinking about a group of people, then your feeling corresponds to that group of people, right?"

After Zheng Shuang nodded, Yuan Chuyi asked again, "So how would you feel if you went to save them yourself?"

After thinking for a while with her eyes closed, Zheng Shuang suddenly opened them. Her face was deathly pale as she said, "If I were to go by myself, I feel like it would be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

Yuan Chuyi continued to ask, "Try to feel it again, the two of you going together with Tang Yan."

After thinking for a while with her eyes closed, Zheng Shuang opened them and said, "It feels dangerous and I could get hurt, but no one will die."
