The noodle shop was renovated last year, but it's an old building after all, and no matter how much you renovate the walls and windows, they're not very sturdy.
"Okay, I'll make some easy food. We might lose gas, water, or electricity at any time," Liu Xin said.
Xiao Jin didn't get involved with the family. She was standing by the second-floor window, and a pair of binoculars had appeared in her hand.
Through the lens, although it was already dark outside, Xiao Jin could still see the situation in the distance clearly.
At the other end of the street, several figures were running wildly down the avenue, followed by about a dozen zombies.
Moreover, judging from the direction these people fled, it was right in front of the noodle shop.
A moment later, Xiao Jin put away the binoculars, took the knife, and went downstairs.
At that time, Liu Xin and his wife were preparing food all night. The flour had risen and they were making steamed buns and flatbreads, while the tap next to them was running water.
The two were quite surprised to hear Xiao Jin come downstairs.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Duan Chenghong asked quickly.
Xiao Jin nodded: "People are coming, and there are zombies following behind them."
The couple immediately became alert.
"Wait, bro, I'll go with you." Seeing that Xiao Jin seemed about to leave, Duan Chenghong thought for a moment and then picked up a modified bayonet from the wall.
Liu Xin then tossed Duan Chenghong a thick coat, saying, "Be careful."
Xiao Jin glanced at the two of them, then turned around and said, "Follow me, and don't make a sound." She would bring the person back safely once she took them out.
Duan Chenghong quickly instructed Liu Xin, "Close the door tightly, and don't open it unless I come back."
After coming out, Xiao Jin deliberately slowed down his pace so that the latter could barely keep up with him, neither being easily shaken off nor moving too slowly.
Duan Chenghong's face was somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Needless to say, he followed closely behind Xiao Jin, making sure not to fall behind.
At first, when he was told to leave the noodle shop, Duan Chenghong didn't feel anything. But once he was outside, he felt a little scared.
In the surrounding darkness, it seemed as if countless eyes were watching them.
Duan Chenghong's heart pounded like a drum. Hearing the faint roars of zombies in his ears, he involuntarily gripped the stick in his hand tightly.
If he's not careful, he could be devoured by a horde of zombies!
Xiao Jin's eyes were sharp as he quickly calculated his next move.
She didn't intend to save anyone.
Instead, the fact that these people are running here so recklessly will attract a lot of zombies along the way.
Once the number of zombies surges, the noodle shop where they are hiding will also be in danger.
Therefore, Xiao Jin needed to stop the situation from escalating before it did.

"Quick, run!" Luo Xun grabbed Yun Hanhan's hand tightly. Yun Hanhan was panting heavily, her throat burning like fire.
Even so, she did not shake off Luo Xun.
"Senior...we're not...going to die, are we?!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Luo Xun was also covered in sweat: "Don't talk, save your energy."
Yun Hanhan obediently shut her mouth, holding back a surge of anger.
No matter what, she was a beautiful and vibrant female college student; she would never turn into that ugly thing...
"Aaaaaah~ Help! Wait for me!!!"
Just then, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from behind, like a gash being ripped open in the night, making one's heart tighten.
A slightly overweight man, pale as paper, with legs as heavy as lead, finally stumbled and fell to the ground.
His eyes were filled with terror and despair. Just as he tried to struggle to his feet, a zombie covered in rotting flesh and with bloodshot eyes pounced on him like a hungry wolf.
The zombie's sharp teeth gleamed coldly as it bit down hard on the fat man's neck, causing blood to spurt out instantly and stain everything around it red.
Almost at the same moment, several equally hungry zombies arrived, letting out low, excited roars as they swarmed around the fat man.
The fat man's screams gradually faded amidst the roars and tearing sounds of the zombies until they disappeared completely, leaving only a bloody mess behind him.
This scene happened so suddenly that it cast a heavy shadow over the five people running ahead.
Although they were temporarily relieved of the pressure by being attracted to the zombies, no one showed any sign of relief.
On the contrary, their eyes were filled with fear and tension, and their hearts were pounding like drums, almost bursting out of their chests.
"Damn it, this fatso, can't he just shut up?" a thug dressed like a gangster cursed.
His two brothers beside him also looked indignant.
The reason was that the fat man's loud shout had attracted more zombies to join the chase.
They've been running for a long time, and if they don't find a solution soon, they'll eventually run out of energy and end up like the fat man.
After cursing, the young man silently sped up, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets as he stared at Luo Xun and the other man running ahead.
Damn it, how come those two ran so fast? I need to think of something...
As the saying goes, when you encounter a tiger, you don't need to outrun it; you just need to outrun another person.
The young man nudged his two brothers with his elbow and gestured with his chin toward the backs of Luo Xun and his companion ahead.
The three of them have known each other for quite some time, so much so that they can tell what kind of poop someone is just by looking at their butt.
It wasn't just the young man from the community who thought this way; his two brothers shared the same idea, it's just that the young man from the community brought it up first.
