The pregnant woman's eyes welled up when she heard her husband's last words. But no tears came out; her clenched hands tightened. The man turned around and glanced at her, his eyes filled with love and warmth.
The 18-year-old girl clutched her father's hand, biting her lip fiercely. She turned to look at her mother, who lowered her head and avoided them. Cheng Chuan's heart ached at the sight. He leaned down, touched his daughter's head, and said, "Xinxin, Daddy's sick. Can you stay with Mommy?" If his daughter followed him, what if he turned into a zombie and hurt her? Thinking of his wife, who had fled when disaster struck, he could only hope that, considering the child was hers, he would treat her well.
When the little girl heard her father say this, she put her arms around the man's neck, buried her head deeply in his neck, clasped her little hands, and refused to let go.
Li Xiong was shocked when he heard the man's words. Yes, the worst-case scenario would be for this girl to give them a ride! It was better than hiding, turning into a zombie, and then causing harm to others.
"Well, the worst that can happen is death. Before we turn into monsters, we might as well follow the little girl and kill a few more zombies. It will be considered a profit!" Li Xiong was originally alone, and now that he had come to his senses, he strode towards Qin Qing.
The others still looked towards their loved ones with lingering eyes, only to see them all avert their gazes, not daring to look at them at all. A wave of sadness washed over them, and as they thought of Li Xiong's words, the worst that could happen was death. Finally, they closed their eyes, turned around, and followed Li Xiong towards Qin Qing.
Zhong Lixia and the others breathed a sigh of relief after watching Li Xiong and the others follow Qin Qing away. She and Zhang Yong had thought of dozens of reasons to prevent the injured from following them, but to her surprise, none of them worked. A flicker of anger flashed through her heart, but she didn't know where it came from.
Turning around, he saw Lin Ruolan with her head down, crying silently. He couldn't help but snort coldly. He was jealous of her and Cheng Chuan's love back then. Now that disaster was imminent, it was nothing more than this!
After Qin Qing walked out of the alley, he stopped at the fork in the road and waited for Li Xiong to follow him out. Then he said, "I'm going to a large supermarket to see if there are any supplies. Do you want to come with me?" After saying that, he glanced at the pregnant woman.
Li Xiong was stunned. He had thought Qin Qing would find a place to lock them up or tie them up. Unexpectedly, he said nonchalantly that he was going to look for supplies.
He scratched his hair and said, "We were looking for supplies before, but we didn't expect to be chased by a dozen zombies as soon as we entered the supermarket. There shouldn't be many zombies there now, why don't we go back and take a look? But..." Even if there are zombies, they are not afraid now that they have been bitten.
But what about the pregnant woman and the child who were also going with him? He couldn't bring them to the supermarket with him, could he? He couldn't help but glance at Qin Qing, but saw that Qin Qing ignored his next words.
Qin Qing nodded. There was indeed a large supermarket in the direction the group had run from. She pulled out a map and carefully checked the escape routes around the area she had marked with a red pen. She also took a look at the pharmacy near the supermarket.
It didn't matter if the other three people's wounds were not bandaged, but Li Xiong's arm and the man's leg had to be sutured. She didn't want these two people to bleed to death before turning into zombies or superpowers.
"There are two pharmacies near the supermarket. You and him go to the pharmacy first to bandage your wounds. I will tie you all up then. You and I will keep an eye on them. If any of them mutate into zombies, remember that they will become monsters that killed your relatives after they mutate. You must kill them with one knife to avenge your relatives. Do you understand?" Qin Qing said seriously to the pregnant woman and the little girl.
The pregnant woman's hands trembled after hearing Qin Qing's words. A hint of panic appeared in her eyes, but the little girl stared into Qin Qing's eyes for a long moment, then said with certainty in a soft, childish voice, "Sister, Dad will be fine!"
Qin Qing's heart moved after hearing what the little girl said. He raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, saying, "I don't want to lie to you. We can only wait and see if your father is okay. If he is okay, that's great. If not, I can only kill him!"
The pregnant woman couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She felt that Qin Qing was too direct. Even an adult like her couldn't stand it, let alone such a young girl. But unexpectedly, the little girl nodded and said to Qin Qing, "Thank you, big sister. I believe Dad will be fine."
When everyone heard this, they felt that it was just the wish of a young child. After hearing his daughter's words, Cheng Chuan felt a lump in his throat and tears filled his eyes.
Along the way, abandoned cars blocked the street. Luckily, the sidewalks on either side were still passable. The people in the cars who hadn't turned into zombies had already fled, and the zombies, for some reason, weren't visible. They might have chased the living and disappeared somewhere, but it still gave me a chilling feeling. After all, on such a large street, there wasn't a single soul to be seen. It felt like a dead city.
Before anyone could even begin to feel the chill in their hearts, they were stunned by Qin Qing's deft prying skills. With just a few prying motions, she had pried the door of the pharmacy open to a hole the size of a dog. Then, she patted the girl's shoulder, and she quickly slipped through the hole and flung the door open.
She gave the little girl an admiring look, and after everyone entered the store, she looked around and was surprised to find rice and flour on the counter. Several people immediately happily collected all the rice and flour and piled them aside.
Qin Qing took the opportunity to sneak to the back of the pharmacy. She'd seen a surprise at the jewelry store before, and she figured the pharmacy would be similar. As soon as she got upstairs, she was dazzled by the shelves upstairs. Sure enough, the good stuff was hidden. She glanced downstairs and saw they hadn't caught up. She quickly put the neatly stacked medicines and shelves into the storage space, saving them from getting suspicious when they came upstairs and saw the empty shelves.
After she had cleared the upper floor, she returned with the ropes she had placed in the space. The men understood the situation and obediently raised their arms for Qin Qing to tie them up. In a short while, all five of them were tied up like dumplings.
Qin Qing then took out disinfectant, hemostatics, and gauze from the counter and threw them on the pregnant woman, asking her to apply the medicine to Li Xiong and her husband. The pregnant woman had always been pampered and had never encountered such a thing before. Her hands were shaking, and it took her a long time to bandage the wound.
