He pulled open the roller shutter.
"You two think you can fight us?" The young man in the lead sneered and threw a punch at Duan Chenghong.
Duan Chenghong dodged to the side, but at that moment, another young man attacked from behind, slamming a stick into his back.
Duan Chenghong felt a sharp pain and staggered forward a few steps involuntarily.
Seeing this, Liu Xin brandished the steel pipe in his hand and rushed forward, but two fists could not fight against four hands, not to mention that the opponents outnumbered him and were all extremely fierce.
Soon, the two were surrounded and attacked with fists and feet.
Liu Xin was alright, as Duan Chenghong protected him from behind, and most of the injuries fell on him.
Even though they couldn't win, the other side didn't gain any advantage.
The leader of the thugs was kicked hard in the stomach, and the other two also had their heads cracked open. Later on, Liu Xin and Duan Chenghong were fighting like madmen.
Seeing that things couldn't continue like this, the young people began to have second thoughts, and then zombies came looking for them, drawn by the sound.
So, taking advantage of the couple's inattention, the group grabbed two boxes from the entrance of the noodle shop and ran away.
Recalling what had happened, Liu Xin sighed deeply.
The loss wasn't serious, but it felt like I'd swallowed a fly; it was really upsetting.
Duan Chenghong really risked his life that night. I saved you, and this is how you repay me!
"Let's not talk about it anymore," Liu Xin waved her hand.
Duan Chenghong then said to Xiao Jin, "Our injuries aren't serious, but you, little brother, didn't come back last night. I knew you must have run into something."
But I didn't expect you to go to see A-Yue. Her mother and I were afraid you'd run into a zombie horde.
Duan Chenghong then revealed a relieved expression: "Thank goodness you're all alright!"
"Yes, my brother is amazing! He immediately took me to hide after seeing the zombie horde, and yesterday..."
Immediately afterwards, Duan Ziyue enthusiastically told Liu Xin and Duan Ziyue about what happened yesterday, especially when she mentioned the cafeteria and the gymnasium, which made the couple's hearts skip a beat.
"Thank God." Liu Xin clutched her chest.
Thankfully, the young man went; otherwise, he might never have seen his daughter again.
Imagine Liu Xin holding Duan Ziyue tightly, as if she were holding some lost treasure that she had found again.
Then they started talking about the enormous zombie in front of the stadium.
"Brother? Do you know what that is?" Duan Chenghong asked Xiao Jin nervously.
Xiao Jin stood by the window with her arms crossed: "They're superpowered zombies." Her casual remark caused the three people in the room to change their expressions drastically.
Liu Xin and Duan Ziyue are not people who haven't read novels before, so they are very familiar with the superpowers in post-apocalyptic novels.
It was precisely because they understood this that they realized the seriousness of the situation.
Although Duan Chenghong doesn't read novels, the moment he heard the word "superpower," his mind was in turmoil, and many thoughts immediately came to mind.
Zombies can even develop superpowers! Does that mean it will be even harder for humans to survive?
Children's minds work quickly; after the initial shock, Duan Ziyue suddenly became very excited.
Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Xiao Jin: "Brother, do you have superpowers too?"
Liu Xin and Duan Chenghong were startled and quickly looked at Xiao Jin, afraid that she would be angry.
"Ah Yue, shut up!" Duan Chenghong immediately scolded her, which made Duan Ziyue shrink back in fright.
Liu Xin looked at Xiao Jin apologetically: "I'm sorry, my daughter is too willful, please don't mind her."
Xiao Jin didn't take it to heart at all. She knew what Duan Ziyue was thinking, and it wasn't impossible.
Therefore, she replied calmly, "That's right, it's a superpower."
There was nothing to hide. Duan Ziyue had watched the whole thing when she killed the level 2 zombie, but she didn't reveal what kind of superpower she had.
"Really?" Duan Ziyue was so eager to know the answer that she ignored Liu Xin's murderous gaze.
"Can I have superpowers too? If I have superpowers, will I no longer be afraid of zombies?"
It has to be said that Liu Xin and Duan Ziyue were also itching to hear this.
Seeing that Xiao Jin didn't seem unhappy at all, the two of them couldn't help but look at Xiao Jin with excitement.
As they expected, Xiao Jin nodded firmly: "Not only zombies can have superpowers, but humans can too. Heaven is fair."
Nothing could be more gratifying than this answer.
Putting aside those strange supernatural powers—after all, who wouldn't want to be able to turn the world upside down?—let's just say that with superpowers, humans could also have the power to fight zombies.
Looking at it this way, the future isn't all despair.
After receiving this exciting news from Xiao Jin, Duan Ziyue and her family were overjoyed. Their previous gloom dissipated, and they straightened their backs considerably.
Liu Xin even rolled up her sleeves and cooked a table full of delicious food to reward Xiao Jin.
During the meal, Liu Xin mentioned that the rescue team had been to the old town area before Xiao Jin and the other person returned.
"It seems they didn't clear out all the zombies, but instead sealed off uninhabited areas to prevent the zombies from getting out," Liu Xin said.
"I've inquired about it, and they say that the higher-ups think that the country's territory is too vast, and if they really try to clean it up bit by bit, they simply won't be able to manage it all."
It also makes it easy to disperse armed training.
Duan Chenghong picked up a piece of chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, removed the bone, and tossed it aside.
"From what they said, the country wants to establish a safe zone and plans to transfer all the survivors around the safe zone there, so that they can then deal with the zombies in the city."
