Chapter 26: Rescue at the Cinema
After harvesting the first Yuanshi, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang found three more Yuanshi in succession, all of different sizes, and all smaller than the first one. Fang Yuxin put all the Yuanshi into the space, and it seemed that this trip was a good harvest, but whether there was a Yuanjing in the Yuanshi could only be known by opening it. As far as she knew, many Yuanshi were empty stones, and the probability of Yuanjing appearing was pitifully small.
It was not so bad now that the apocalypse had just begun. When the value of Yuanshi and Yuanjing was discovered in the future, many fake Yuanshi would appear, which were so lifelike that they could be mistaken for the real thing. On the black market, even Yuanshi that was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake were sold at extremely high prices.
Therefore, Fang Yuxin's initial plan was to find as many Yuanshi as possible during the early days of the apocalypse. Otherwise, once the secrets of Yuanshi and Yuanjing were discovered, it would not only cost a very high price to find Yuanshi, but he would also most likely buy counterfeit products!
While finding the four Yuan Stones, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang also walked around the entire commercial plaza. The shopping center was all inside, and Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang thought that there were still people trapped inside, and they couldn't bear to leave just like that, so they planned to go in and take a look. If they could save someone, they would save them at the same time, which was better than letting them die in there.
The two looked at the various entrances and exits and felt that the entrance they found at the beginning was safer, so they went back and entered the indoor commercial street. The commercial street was lined with small shops selling specialty restaurants, clothing, and accessories. When the apocalypse broke out at midnight, these small shops were basically closed. Only a few shops were open all night, but they were not on the first floor.
Because of the meteorite landing, the commercial center was greatly shaken. When Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang came in, they saw a mess. Many shelves and cabinets had fallen to the ground, and things were scattered all over the place, as if there was an earthquake.
As they walked along, they put all the food they found that was not spoiled into their space. They had quite a good harvest along the way. As for the accessories, clothes and other things, they ignored them. They had already collected a lot of the things they needed when they were collecting supplies before, and they had enough clothes. There was no need to plunder everything in a place.
The underground floor was a medium-sized supermarket. Because it was underground, the impact was minimal. The two went down to take a look. The door of the supermarket was locked. Because the lights were not on, the light was very dim. The two stopped and listened for a while. There was no movement inside, so there should be no one.
Fang Yuyang asked, "Xinxin, do you want to go in?" According to him, he was unwilling to go in.
Fang Yuxin thought of the house and supermarket that had been robbed in his dream and shook his head. There were many residential areas nearby, and it wouldn't be long before a team of survivors would come to collect supplies. If they took the supplies in the supermarket, those people would probably have to starve.
So she said, "Forget it, let's leave the things here to other survivors."
Fang Yuyang also meant this, so he said, "Then let's go upstairs and take a look?"
The two went up to the second floor directly from the escalator. Although there was no electricity, people could still walk on it. The second floor mainly sold some home decorations, furniture, lamps and bedding. In addition, there were some maternal and child products, children's clothing, and underwear stores. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang were not greedy and only took some bedding, children's clothing and ** into the space.
Then, the two went up to the third floor. There was a large cinema on the third floor, which was open all night. The trapped people were inside. Apart from the cinema, all other restaurants were locked, but some of the locks had been damaged due to the shaking of the building.
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang went in to take a look. There were still a lot of food in the restaurant's refrigerator. Although the power was off, the refrigerator had not been opened, and the food was not spoiled. These things would only go bad if left, so Fang Yuxin put them directly into the space.
After that, the two went to the cinema. After entering the cinema, they encountered zombies again, but there were not many of them. After they dealt with the zombies, they found the No. 5 screening room where the living people were trapped. Because of the vibration of the building, the door of the screening room was deformed and stuck, and it could not be opened at all. It was also for this reason that the people inside could not get out at all.
A lot of people were trapped in the screening room, and the smell of living people was very strong, which attracted a lot of zombies. The door of the screening room had long been destroyed beyond recognition by the zombies, but it was still stubbornly stuck in the door frame.
The zombies blocking the door had been dealt with by Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin, but the soundproofing of the theater was very good, and the people inside couldn't hear anything outside. Similarly, they couldn't hear anything inside, and they knew there was someone inside only because of their supernormal sensing ability.
Although the door was stuck tightly, it had been almost destroyed by the zombies. After Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang kicked it hard a few times, the door broke into pieces. As soon as the door broke, screams rang out in the screening room.
The two kicked the door open and went in. The light in the theater was very dim, and the air was mixed with the stench of decay and the strong smell of blood. A body could be vaguely seen on the ground. A dozen people were huddled together in a corner of the theater, and they screamed in panic when they saw the two people come in.
Fang Yuxin took out the flashlight hanging from his waist and turned it on. There were a total of 17 survivors here. In addition to these 17 people, there were eight bloody corpses and five zombies on the ground. All the zombies had their heads smashed and were deader than dead. The remaining survivors were both men and women, all young people.
These people were covered in blood and wounds, and they looked exhausted and did not look well. At first they were very frightened, but after they realized that they were human beings and not zombies, they were relieved. Some of the timid ones even cried.
Fang Yuxin took the opportunity to check the zombies and dug out the crystal core and put it into the space. Then, she heard a strange yet familiar voice saying, "Are you here to rescue us? There are nine people injured here. Can you send them to the hospital first?"
Fang Yuxin turned her head instantly, staring at the woman who was speaking. This was a very beautiful woman, with fair skin, big, bright eyes, a straight and delicate nose, rosy lips, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, a natural smile. Her hair was long and straight, with only the ends curled and braided into a very ladylike braid.
Her voice was very clear, and she was pretty and pleasing, which easily made people like her. However, after seeing her appearance clearly, Fang Yuxin not only did not have the slightest favorable impression on her, but even felt a deep disgust and uncontrollable resentment towards her!
