Eve did not stand up immediately, but turned her upturned green eyes to Fan Ming.
"What did you say?"
For a moment, the green in those bright eyes suddenly turned into something sharp and stabbed straight towards Fan Ming.
Fan Ming subconsciously took a step back. He actually felt a greater threat from Eve than from the zombies: "I..."
"Did you see it wrong?" But the next second, Eve's voice suddenly softened. "How can I control the zombies... and," she paused, "they are coming."
Fan Ming turned his head and saw that the two zombies who were fighting just now rushed towards them at the same time. He screamed in fright, but he had no weapon in his hands, so he could only retreat in panic.
The two zombies were very close to them, and they turned and rushed in front of the three people. One of them stretched out its fangs and bit the three people without hesitation. The second one was a little slower and glanced in Eve's direction from time to time.
Fan Ming naturally didn't notice the abnormality of the second zombie. He grabbed Eve's arm and said in a panic, "Go!"
Eve said, "It's okay."
The zombies are right in front of us, and you have nothing to do with it?!
Fan Ming was so angry that he blurted out, "Fuck, do you want to die?! Hurry up and leave...!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Qi step forward, holding a steel rod he had picked up from the ruins, and without hesitation, he hit the zombie's head.
“Bang!”
Before the zombie's claws could reach him, its head exploded like a ripe watermelon, and red and white brain matter and rotten flesh exploded in all directions, falling to the ground like flowers scattered by fairies. The air was suddenly filled with a rotten and foul smell.
Fan Ming's fighting ability was not good. He used to run away when he saw zombies. But when he suddenly saw such a simple and rough way of cutting melons, his expression couldn't help but turn green, as if he wanted to vomit but didn't dare to.
On the other hand, Eve stood in the brains all over the floor with a calm expression, commanding Seven, "There is one more."
Qi paused, turned around and looked at her inquiringly.
Eve's expression remained unchanged as she softly repeated, "Seven, kill it."
Qi seemed to understand what she meant. He turned around and pointed the iron rod at the zombie. Despite the danger, the zombie did not resist and let Qi break his spine with just a few hits. The zombie fell to the ground silently.
Eve walked over under Fan Ming's shocked gaze, reached out and rummaged through the two zombie corpses, pulling out their nuclear crystals from their heads.
She casually wiped the blood off her hands and smiled at Fan Ming: "Okay, they are all dead."
Fan Ming looked at Eve in horror. The girl's face was delicate but cold, and with her hands covered in black blood, she looked like a strange flower growing out of a pool of blood in hell.
He swallowed and said tremblingly: "Thank... Thank you..."
"It's okay," Eve put the nuclear crystal into her pocket and said with a smile, "If the guide died, we would be in trouble too."
Fan Ming couldn't help but think that the subtext of her words sounded like if he was useless, they would...
Fan Ming shuddered and quickly patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry! I will definitely take you to find the best canned food!"
Eve burst out laughing: "You are so funny."
Fan Ming said dryly: "Hehe...hehe...as long as you like it."
"By the way," Eve asked casually, "Why were you so scared just now?"
Fan Ming: “…?”
Eve said, "Actually, I lied to you just now." She said casually, "I can control zombies."
After she finished speaking, her green eyes flashed with an unknown light as she closely observed the expression on Fan Ming's face.
The incident just now happened suddenly. Eve was used to being hunted in her original world, and subconsciously wanted to hide her identity. Now that she realized it, she found that there was no need to do so at all - the people here did not have a deep hatred for the Necromancer, and she could also disguise her abilities as superpowers.
Unexpectedly, Fan Ming laughed when he heard this: "What are you talking about? Stop joking."
Eve: “???”
"I was just too excited," Fan Ming said, rubbing his nose in embarrassment. "But think about it calmly. I've never seen anyone control zombies. They only want to eat human flesh, so how could they possibly obey orders?"
He patted Eve's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you are strong enough." As he spoke, he seemed to treat Eve as a child who wanted to pretend and show off.
Eve: “…”
She felt a little... annoyed to receive such a reaction when she revealed her identity for the first time.
"Okay," she curled her lips, "just pretend I didn't say anything."
In fact, there is no rush to reveal it now. Currently, her magic power is weak and she cannot control too many zombies. She just needs to make sure that the people here are not opposed to her ability.
In a word—let’s just grow up slowly now.
She said to Fan Ming, "Let's go to the basement. Please show me the way."
Fan Ming naturally had no point in saying this, so he said to the two of them, "If you go down the escalator, you'll be right at the supermarket entrance."
The electrical equipment had long been damaged, and the huge shopping mall was completely dark. Fan Ming struggled to grope his way forward in the darkness. Worried that Eve and the others were unfamiliar with the terrain, he specifically warned them, "Be careful, there are steps under your feet..."
When he turned around, Eve was sitting steadily in Qi's arms, and the latter was moving normally in the darkness as if walking on flat ground.
They both gave him innocent looks.
Fan Ming: “…” Damn, I don’t want to talk.
Eve asked, "Are we there yet?"
Fan Ming swallowed the lemon juice that kept coming out of his heart and said gloomily, "We're here."
In the dim light, a supermarket door appeared in front of the three people, and a sign leaning on the ground beside it had the words "Walmart Supermarket" written on it.
Fan Ming was about to raise his foot when Eve stopped him: "Wait, there are zombies."
Zombies? Fan Ming was puzzled. There was no movement nearby.
But just as he turned his head, a fishy wind suddenly blew in front of him, accompanied by a hoarse chuckle, and a red-eyed zombie suddenly rushed out from the corner!
Fan Ming almost cried out, barely managed to swallow back the scream that was about to burst out. At the same time, Qi quickly stepped forward, and wrapped his right arm around the zombie's neck like lightning. With a "crack", the opponent's neck was actually broken!
Eve raised her eyebrows in surprise and couldn't help but look at Qi.
Was he this strong before?
Seven's face was hidden under the cloak, and from Eve's perspective, only a beautifully lined chin could be seen.
Now was not the time to think about this, so she withdrew her gaze and took out a knife. She stabbed it into the zombie's drooping head with quick and accurate movements and dug out a small nuclear crystal.
Each person and each zombie has a clear division of labor, and it only takes a few seconds to knock down a zombie.
Fan Ming, on the other hand, kept his mouth open. He made a swallowing motion and looked at Eve with admiration: "You two are really amazing!"
Eve lowered her head modestly, but said, "I think so too."
Fan Ming: “…”
Although he is very capable, he is also good at climbing up the ladder.
He calmed his frightened heart, looked around, and asked Eve: "Let's go to the food area first?"
Eve nodded and said simply, "I'm hungry."
After getting her approval, Fan Ming took the two of them towards the food area.
Since the end of the world, this supermarket has been paralyzed, so Fan Ming didn't even look at the fresh food area and the refrigerated area, and directly led the two people to the canned food area.
Strangely, they didn't encounter any zombies along the way. Fan Ming was a little hesitant - after all, he had seen dense groups of zombies before, so why were there no zombies this time?
But these doubts were immediately thrown out of the window when he saw the shelves full of canned goods. Fan Ming excitedly said to Eve, "We're here!"
As expected, no one had ever set foot in this supermarket. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of canned goods. Fan Ming rushed over excitedly, thinking about what to take back while reminding Eve, "Take the meat! Don't take the fruit, the meat is best..."
When he turned around, he saw Eve holding a freshly opened can of yellow peaches in her hand, and she was directing Qi: "The third one in the upper left corner, and then get a pineapple."
Fan Ming: “???”
"No, Miss..." He was speechless, "You should choose those with high calories and high protein..."
And pineapple? Are you trying to make a Hawaiian pizza?!
As a result, he was retorted by Eve's light-hearted remark, "I like fruit."
Eve ate very quickly and finished a can of yellow peaches in just a few bites. She had just taken the can of pineapple from Qi's hand, her eyes swept to the shelf next to her, paused, and walked over.
Fan Ming also noticed it: "Hey, it's honey."
The next shelf is full of huge jars of honey, which is the good stuff—it has a long shelf life, is rich in fructose and vitamins, and is easily absorbed by the body.
Looking at these heavy glass bottles, Fan Ming felt a little regretful: "They are too heavy. I can't take them back."
There was a rustling sound nearby. It turned out that Eve had asked Qi to open a jar of honey. Suddenly, a sweet fragrance floated in the air.
Fan Ming had a bad feeling: "Wait... you don't mean to..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Eve raise her arm and pour the 450ml bottle of honey directly into her mouth.
Fan Ming: “!!!”
Under his horrified gaze, Eve swallowed a big mouthful of sticky and sweet honey and said slowly, "Yes, it's good." Her hunger was instantly relieved.
"You..." Fan Ming trembled, "Don't you feel..." choking...
But Eve raised her hand and motioned him to be quiet.
After she took down a jar of honey, a space on the shelf was left empty, revealing the scene opposite. Eve's gaze followed the rows of honey and fell on the shadow behind the shelf.
In the darkness, countless red dots lit up and turned towards them.
As Fan Ming's expression became more and more terrified, Eve slowly swallowed the second mouthful of honey in her mouth before saying:
"There are a lot of zombies here."
The author has something to say:
One more thing to add: the mall was abandoned after the apocalypse, and it contains things produced before the apocalypse, so it has been more than three years. However, the survivors will build a new food factory, so Eve and the others will not live on canned food -
(Whispering) It would be so pitiful to live in a world without instant noodles!!!
