Chapter 51: Zombie Crisis
This bluish-gray mass actually held a faint trace of condensed spiritual energy. Although it couldn't be directly absorbed by the human body, it was an excellent material for making talisman paper or amulets.
Seeing Zhuang Moxing carefully picking up the handful of ash on the ground, Liu Yu approached Zhuang Moxing curiously, her eyes full of curiosity fixed on his slender fingers.
Seeing her eyes almost touching his fingertips, Zhuang Moxing twitched his lips and finally explained, "This green ash seems to be spiritual energy condensed into substance. It's not like ordinary ash when you touch it. It's slightly sticky and very suitable for making talisman paper or talisman cards. Using it to make talismans will surely have a positive effect."
Even an old man like Liu Yu, who had seen a lot in his previous life and was no longer surprised by the end of the world, was surprised for a moment.
How could a zombie's head burn into ash? She had never seen that before.
If Zhuang Moxing hadn't picked it up so seriously, she would have completely ignored this little thing.
In her previous life, it wasn't like someone had burned zombie skulls to extract their cores. But there hadn't been any such substance as blue-ash. As for the talisman made of zombie ash that Zhuang Moxing mentioned, she had never heard of it.
It seemed like her rebirth had really changed something.
Zhuang Moxing took the transparent plastic bag handed to him by Liu Yu and sealed the handful of blue ash in the bag.
Liu Yu looked at the blue-gray mass stuck together in the bag and couldn't help wondering, is this a substance that only exists in the brains of mutated zombies or higher-level zombies, or can it also be burned out by ordinary zombies?
Just when she wanted to burn Zhuang Moxing to see if ordinary zombies had blue-gray, several men's panicked shouts came from the underground entrance of the supermarket!
"Zombies! All the zombies are coming here, run away!"
"Dad! Don't take it. It will be too late if we don't leave now!"
Liu Yu looked at Zhuang Moxing seriously, then quickly called Xu Shuyao behind him to follow, and they all ran towards the entrance above.
Why did so many zombies suddenly gather here? Could it be the high-pitched roar of that mutated zombie just now...
The zombies in the entrance passage had been cleared out when Liu Yu and the others came in. So it took much less time to get out than to get into the supermarket.
It took the three of them less than a minute to rush out of the underground passage and reach the ground.
At this time, the sky was not as bright as when they arrived. The sun was half gone, and the orange-red evening light spread across the ground.
She looked over from afar and saw hundreds of zombies gathered on the road, staggering towards the supermarket entrance.
The people Liu Yu had encountered before, who were collecting supplies in the store, had already retreated. The ones fleeing in panic were a new group of survivors who had come out to look for food.
There were several people bitten by zombies and dying in front of the shops on the street, groaning in pain.
Liu Yu glanced quickly and then turned back. There was no other reason. Their wounds had already turned black and there was no way to save them.
Once the zombie virus invades the human body and signs of zombie-like changes appear on the body's surface, there is no way to recover.
In her previous life, until her death, there was no effective way to reverse the zombie virus's infection of humans.
Liu Yu frowned as he looked at the Hummer parked far behind the zombie group and the zombies surrounding them from all directions.
The survivors on the right were like headless flies, trying to break through from the direction where there were fewer zombies.
But Liu Yu made a preliminary estimate of the number of zombies over there and instantly concluded that their plan was not feasible.
With this number of zombies, even if she and Zhuang Moxing worked together to break through, they might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone them.
As expected, the next second after she came to the conclusion, the group of people holding various homemade weapons were instantly surrounded and overwhelmed by a huge group of zombies.
Desperate screams erupted among the zombie horde. Only a few people standing in the back row had terrified faces as they crawled and rolled to escape from the zombie horde, running away in all directions.
In this situation, they couldn't fight head-on. Liu Yu quickly scanned the row of shops on the street, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Go into the store and upstairs!"
After she finished speaking, she took the lead and ran into the store nearest to them. Zhuang Moxing threw something at the door of the store and then followed her.
Xu Shuyao hesitated, staring at the man moaning by the shop with pity in her eyes.
But the group of zombies gradually approached, less than ten meters away from the store entrance, and there was a vague tendency for them to accelerate.
"Save me, save...save me..."
The man lying on the ground had a blue-gray face, his fingernails were black, and the saliva flowing from his mouth was yellow and smelly. It was obvious that he was about to turn into a zombie.
But Xu Shuyao didn't know that she was suffering from the torture of her conscience at this moment. More than 20 years of social education told her that she must help if she has the ability.
But where did she get the ability at this moment? She still relied on Liu Yu and the others for protection, and she really needed a beating from the end of the world.
Sure enough, before she could figure out what was going on, the man who had not yet completely turned into a zombie suddenly jumped up and pounced on Xu Shuyao's legs, holding her legs tightly.
"You stinky bitch! If you don't save me, then die with me!"
The man with a ferocious face used the last of his strength to hold her calves tightly, and the selfishness and coldness in his eyes made people feel cold.
"What's going on?!"
Xu Shuyao, who was stunned by the sudden attack, reacted quickly and kicked the man angrily, but she couldn't get rid of him at all.
The group of zombies was less than five meters away from her, and she could already smell the stench emanating from the zombies!
She struggled in panic. Liu Yu, who had already run into the store, heard the noise behind her and turned back, not surprised at all.
Some people have to suffer a great loss before they can face reality. However, not everyone can afford the loss in the end times.
"Solve it with a knife." After saying these four words, Liu Yu and Zhuang Moxing continued to look for the staircase in the store, with no intention of helping.
Xu Shuyao anxiously looked at the man on her feet who was determined to die with her, and she made up her mind and raised the machete.
Damn your conscience! Die!
The man raised his sword and chopped it down. The smelly blood, which had turned dark red, sprayed all over Xu Shuyao's hands. Both of the man's arms were cut off.
"Ah——" The body, which had not yet completely transformed into a zombie, still retained a deep sense of pain. The man howled and curled up in agony.
Seeing that she had broken free from her restraints, Xu Shuyao quickly caught up with Liu Yu and the others.
The zombie horde had already reached the door of the store, and the man's half-human, half-zombie aura could not help him escape the zombies' sharp fangs and huge mouths.
Countless zombies pounced on him, tearing his flesh and skin apart. Blood splattered everywhere as their sharp fangs bit him. The howls of despair and the zombies' joyful roars intertwined together.
Liu Yu entered the store and quickly looked around at the exhibits inside.
It was obvious that this was a private convenience store, but the items inside had been cleared out by the previous two waves of people, leaving only tattered snack bags scattered on the ground and seasonings and daily necessities that could not fill their stomachs.
While looking for the staircase, Liu Yu carefully put the seasonings, toothbrushes and paper towels into the space.
Seeing that Xu Shuyao, who had not experienced enough of the beatings of the apocalypse, finally caught up, she kicked away the cardboard box blocking her way and went straight into the small door at the innermost part of the store.
As soon as she entered, she bumped into Zhuang Moxing, who had already gone in to look for a passage. His hard chest made her nose sore and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Sister Xiaoyu!"
"Are you okay?"
Zhuang Moxing quickly supported Liu Yu. Liu Yu shook her head with red eyes, and looked behind him, trying to find a passage.
Seeing her anxiousness, Zhuang Moxing said in time: "Don't look anymore, I found the way up, it's inside."
Sure enough, there were stairs! Liu Yu's nose and head aches disappeared instantly.
"Then go up quickly!" She was about to go in, then frowned and looked back at Xu Shuyao behind her.
"Come and catch up. If you can't even keep up, the deal between us will be canceled."
"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" Xu Shuyao didn't dare to complain and ran quickly towards the inner room.
After Liu Yu finished speaking, she went up the stairs. Xu Shuyao followed closely behind her, and Zhuang Moxing and Lingbao followed behind.
Liu Yu ran up the stairs with a serious expression on his face. If Xu Shuyao really couldn't keep up, would the transaction be cancelled?
