Chapter 209 I've Been Bitten (Monthly Ticket 900 plus more)
Liu Yuan squatted in front of An Ran and Yun Tao, hugging Heng Heng with her intact arm. Heng Heng sat beside Liu Yuan with attachment, not saying a word. She looked at her arm and felt the pain belatedly. She frowned and looked at the small piece of flesh that had been bitten off. She said with a little worry, "It hurts a lot, but I don't know if I will be infected with some zombie virus after being bitten by this zombie."
"I've been bitten before, it's okay."
An Ran stuffed the biscuits into her mouth nonchalantly and climbed two steps toward the escalator cautiously.
Liu Yuan behind her grabbed her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Go find some crystal cores, it's okay."
An Ran was still trembling a little. She looked back at Liu Yuan, crawled weakly on the ground, and reached the escalator opening full of lilies. She took a deep breath, sat quietly among the flowers, and took a rest.
Her current state was very much like that of a starving person, with low blood sugar. She had just eaten a whole box of children's biscuits handed to her by Liu Yuan, but it still could not solve the hunger deep in her heart. And now she had to keep releasing her superpowers. Eating could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, because she was not hungry at all, but her superpowers were overdrawn and she had to use crystal cores to replenish them.
After taking a long breath, An Ran searched among the flowers around her buttocks and picked out a few small crystal cores, which she quickly absorbed. Then, having regained some strength, she carefully stood up from the escalator, leaned over the guardrail, and observed the situation below the escalator.
The flowers on the first floor were all wiped out. Without the support of An Ran's supernatural powers, they were just ordinary flowers. They could not deter the zombies at all. Instead, the zombies trampled on their tender bodies without any ability to resist.
So now the hall on the first floor is filled with zombies from Gate No. 1, and the entrance to the underground supermarket is half blocked by cars, half up and half down, instead of half left and right. Zombies are not very good at climbing high, and there are very few zombies that can climb over the cars, so now Gate No. 1 is the main source of zombies.
As more zombies appeared, they naturally found the way to the escalator. Amid the rich floral scent, a zombie with a keen sense of smell sniffed here and there like a dog, leading his friends to slowly climb up the escalator.
An Ran leaned weakly on the escalator, dug out a few crystal cores from his bones, slid down two steps, and gave birth to a lily under the escalator through air.
She would first cut off the zombies' path to the escalator, then erect a tall flower wall on the escalator to completely block the zombies' passage from the first floor to the second floor.
In this way, she touched the crystal core all the way and slowly went down the escalator. The lilies at the escalator entrance downstairs had been trampled to pieces by the zombies. Under the stimulation of An Ran's supernatural power, they slowly sprouted and grew flower stems. A white flower had just bloomed when the smell zombie climbed up the escalator and began to touch the direction where An Ran was.
Its foot was bitten by Lily, and soon, the whole foot was gone. The zombie with the broken foot did not feel any pain at all. It made two hoarse sounds towards its companions and was eaten. Several of its companions followed it, pressed on its bones, and climbed onto the escalator.
Watching the zombies climbing up one after another, An Ran took two steps back. The supernatural power in her body was empty again. This crystal core could not satisfy An Ran at all. Her feet went soft and she tripped over the lily branch behind her and fell on the escalator.
This book has been criticized a lot recently, but I feel that I have made great progress, because for my previous books, most readers' comments were focused on how the protagonist's values were not right. With this book, I finally succeeded in making such comments disappear.
So, please believe me, I will get better and better with each book, seriously.
Please vote for me for the monthly ticket, I love you.
