Chapter 3: Being regarded as a savior?
But it's a survival game, so she can't expect them to let go of her, her only lifeline.
If she forced to leave, this group of people would probably block her way out. If begging her to stay didn't work, they might even use force.
As a human being, she couldn't bear to watch so many people die.
If she can save someone, she will definitely do so.
What's more, some of them are familiar neighbors. When she meets them, she would call them uncle, aunt, grandpa, and aunt.
Zhen Jinli said helplessly: "I can stay, but——"
She paused and looked down at her shoes: "I want to change my shoes."
Sandals are really inconvenient for running.
Shen Jing reacted and said quickly: "There must be shoes in the good neighbor supermarket down the slope. Why don't we move there?"
As long as they can keep Zhen Jinli, what's wrong with them moving to another place?
There is too little food in the convenience store. If they stay here for a long time, they will finish it in a few days.
There are also toilets in the mall, so they can use water and go to the bathroom at any time.
It's much better than staying in a convenience store.
After figuring out these points, everyone was pleasantly surprised and agreed: "Okay!"
This girl is indeed a gaming expert. She is using her shoes to hint to them to move to a safe place.
Everyone's attitude suddenly relaxed a lot, from being afraid that she would leave to having hope in their eyes.
That’s great! As long as this little girl is here, they will be saved.
Zhen Jinli: “.”
Why is it that I suddenly feel like a savior?
***
Everyone moved to the Good Neighbor Shopping Mall at the bottom of the slope, and Zhen Jinli took a pair of running shoes from the shelf and prepared to put them on.
She hesitated at the last moment and ultimately did not change her running shoes.
She changed into another pair of black Martin boots that were convenient for running, which also matched her black knee-length skirt.
What if the monsters were afraid of her cool and sassy outfit? If she changed it, it would be useless.
Since you want to pretend to be a big boss, then do it to the end.
The intermission soon arrived, and around 7:30, the monsters reappeared on the street and smashed the doors of the shops on both sides of the street.
Screams and pleas for mercy were heard one after another, and many people who were hiding in the back kitchen of the store were smashed to death by the monster.
The convenience store where they were just now was less than two hundred meters away from the shopping mall, and it had been smashed to pieces by the monsters.
A few people saw the monster smashing things on the street through the toilet window and were so scared that they quickly retreated.
More than twenty people crowded around Zhen Jinli, fearing that the monsters would rush in.
Chen Ji asked the uncle next to him: "Uncle, are the glass doors and fire doors under the mall closed?"
Just now, Chen Jing and the neighbors assigned some tasks and blocked all the entrances and exits of the shopping mall.
The uncle nodded, but still felt a little worried.
"I'm afraid of the weapons those monsters have. Judging from the way they're banging on the door, if they rush in, we're dead."
Zhen Jinli was sitting right next to the floor-to-ceiling window. She peeked down through the glass window on the third floor and found that the monsters were holding not only maces, but also iron bars and axes.
What’s even more exaggerated is that there are people holding meteor hammers.
That's why the people who were originally fleeing were killed one by one by their weapons.
Even if they hide in large supermarkets, they cannot escape the fate of being smashed to death by these monsters. The fire doors and glass doors of the shopping malls cannot withstand them for long.
Chen Ji looked up at the sky. The number of survivors on the blue light screen had dropped from 1,500 to 1,330.
It's only been twenty minutes!
His pupils dilated and his heart pounded nervously.
How many monsters are there down there?
Chen Ji has completely understood this game.
Kill like crazy, kill like crazy
They will not stop until they kill the last 500 people.
At this time, several monsters had already set their sights on the supermarket where Zhen Jinli and the others were.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of brutal pounding and smashing doors made everyone on the third floor's heart hang in the air.
One little boy even leaned on his grandmother's arms and cried.
The grandmother quickly hugged the little boy, covered his mouth, and coaxed him softly, asking him to stop crying.
A young girl next to her, who was about the same age as Zhen Jinli, couldn't help crying softly.
"Wow, I don't want to die."
"I've only been in a relationship for a few months, and my boyfriend is still waiting for me outside."
Zhen Jinli: “.”
Hello, can you please take care of the feelings of single people?
Seeing that the glass door was broken, the group of monsters would soon rush up to the third floor.
By then, none of those people crowded around Zhen Jinli will be able to escape.
The goal is simply too big.
Zhen Jinli was squeezed like a sardine in a can by more than 20 people, and couldn't help but wail.
"Stop pushing me and let me out."
If this continues, even if she is not killed by the monsters, she will be crushed to death by them.
Everyone realized that, yes, they shouldn't all crowd around her, but should let her go out to guard the entrance.
She had successfully driven away those monsters before, so maybe she could do it this time too.
Everyone didn't expect Zhen Jinli to be so great. They quickly pushed her out alone and looked at her with gratitude.
"Thank you, beautiful lady."
"Then go out and keep watch."
As they spoke, they began to find places to hide.
Zhen Jinli: “?”
Did they misunderstand her?
But now that the words had been spoken, Zhen Jinli felt too embarrassed to explain anything and had to walk towards the stairs.
Anyway, she has to choose between being killed by monsters and being crushed to death by people.
She walked to the front of the escalator and just saw the monsters below about to rush up.
The two sides were just one floor away from each other, staring at each other in a fatal manner.
Zhen Jinli: “.”
She was so dramatic that she quickly folded her arms across her chest and stared at them coldly, portraying the image of a big boss to perfection.
Come on, come up if you have the guts!
When two of the monsters saw her, they immediately hesitated whether to come up.
The other one was a little timid and wanted to walk slowly past her.
Zhen Jinli thought, it seems that they really regard her as a big boss and will not attack her.
o(￣▽￣)ｄ Awesome!
But just because they didn't attack her doesn't mean they won't attack others.
Zhen Jinli saw a monster about to go up to the third floor, so she repeated the previous action.
She raised her right hand, pinched the flesh on the outside of her left wrist, and twisted it hard.
Hopefully, it will work this time too.
