Chapter 22: The Invincible Gaha
At the critical moment, a bamboo broke through the ground, knocked the zombie king away with its lush bamboo leaves, and then safely inserted its roots back into the soil.
"Haha!" The woman in white gave the bamboo a thumbs up.
Song Yuqing's eyes lit up, she had found a treasure!
Little Meat Bun felt Song Yuqing's excitement, and inexplicably had a feeling that he was about to be taken away from his favor.
After the zombie king was knocked away by the bamboo, the zombie group gradually dispersed and wandered around aimlessly.
Song Yuqing opened the door and first gave a big hug to Zhuzi who knocked the Zombie King away, then turned to the woman in white.
"Gah, thank you."
Facing Song Yuqing's smile, the woman in white lowered her head shyly, and she agreed to Song Yuqing's address to her.
Song Yuqing tentatively touched Gaha's arm, and it was indeed cold, not like that of a living person.
"Gaha, gaha, gaha..." Gaha suddenly raised his head and chattered to Song Yuqing.
Gaha was originally a zombie hunter at Base 10. While she possessed no special powers, she possessed exceptional kung fu, capable of single-handedly taking on two zombies. Gaha's fate changed two weeks ago when, while fighting zombies with her teammates, she was injured and her wounds, unfortunately, infected by zombie fluids. Gaha remembers the lengthy process of her transformation into a zombie. To avoid harming her teammates, she quietly left Base 10 and began wandering. While her human memories had been lost, Gaha retained her human way of thinking.
"Gaha, Gaha..." What Gaha wanted to say was that when she saw Song Yuqing, she felt very close to her and wanted to follow her. She was really sorry for scaring Song Yuqing before.
Unfortunately, Gaha was shaking his head while speaking, and Song Yuqing was completely confused.
"Okay, okay, Gaha, come in and sit for a while?" Song Yuqing patted Gaha's head gently. Gaha looked very happy and nodded like a kitten.
Little Meat Bun watched from the side and crossed his arms in disdain.
Why do we have to give a zombie a name? Giving a name will give it feelings. If it has feelings, what should I do?
Gaha jumped into the God's Supermarket, looked left and right, and saw that she looked like a young girl. Except for her skin color and eyes, she didn't look like a zombie at all.
Huo Bin quietly pulled Song Yuqing aside and whispered about what happened before Gaha turned into a zombie. Song Yuqing's eyes showed sadness. It was hard for anyone to accept that a human heroine had turned into a zombie.
"Gaha, are you hungry? Do you want to eat instant noodles?" Gaha was staring at the instant noodles and was discovered by Song Yuqing.
"Gaha." Gaha shook her head. She was not hungry and she didn't want to eat.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat." Huo Bin said softly. He had been coveting instant noodles for a long time, but he couldn't get them off the shelf.
The little meat bun puffed out his chest, trying to attract Song Yuqing's attention.
"I know, little Roubao wants to eat instant noodles." Song Yuqing reached out to touch little Roubao's head, and little Roubao hummed with satisfaction.
Song Yuqing made three packets of instant noodles and ate them at the small table by the window with Huo Bin and Xiao Rouwei. Gaha was wandering around in the bamboo forest.
Gaha took a deep breath, ah, the smell of bamboo leaves is so good!
"Gah~"
Before Gaha finished publishing her travelogue of the bamboo forest, she was kicked away by the zombie king who suddenly appeared.
"Gaha!" Gaha fell ten meters away from the God's Supermarket. The Zombie King quickly stepped forward and started wrestling with Gaha.
Ten meters is beyond the range of the bamboos' movement, and the bamboos remain motionless.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao dropped their instant noodles and rushed out. Xiao Roubao ran to Gaha first, grabbed the zombie king, and fought him naked. Song Yuqing followed closely behind to check on Gaha's injuries.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao arrived too late. The zombie king had already ripped Gaha open with his sharp claws, and gray blood was flowing all over the ground.
Before Song Yuqing had time to feel sad, a large wave of zombies rushed towards them.
Huo Bin leaned against the door of the God's Supermarket, looking at Song Yuqing worriedly. He wanted to fight alongside Song Yuqing and Little Meat Bun, but he was afraid...
"You can go ahead. Your gold-type ability is still there. If you focus a little, you can use it." Master Fu kindly reminded.
Huo Bin shook his head. He couldn't...
In the street fighting, Little Meat Bun was dragged down by the zombie king and could not spare the energy to protect Song Yuqing. Fortunately, Song Yuqing was protected by protective clothing and did not become the zombies' food.
"Hiss!" The Zombie King roared and kicked the little meat bun away. Then, dozens of zombies surrounded the little meat bun. The Zombie King grinned and turned to pounce on Song Yuqing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Yuqing dodged and hid in her own space. But she was worried about Xiao Roubao and Gaha, so she immediately got out of the space again.
As the Zombie King was pounding the ground in anger, Song Yuqing appeared and threw out a kitchen knife, which hit the Zombie King's arm. But the Zombie King was not afraid of this small kitchen knife at all. It exerted all its strength to force the kitchen knife out of its arm, and the kitchen knife flew straight towards Song Yuqing.
"Gaha!" Gaha jumped up from the ground and stood in front of Song Yuqing.
The kitchen knife was stuck in Gaha's head.
A familiar feeling... Gaha touched his head and thought, it's okay, it's not the first time he's been stabbed in the head.
Gaha's whole body emitted white light, and for a moment, all the zombies stopped in their tracks.
Little Meat Bun took advantage of this opportunity to tear the Zombie King in half. A red crystal core fell out of the Zombie King's torn body.
Gaha continued to clench his fists, frowning, and controlling the nearby zombies to stay away from the alley where the God's Supermarket was located.
Finally, peace returned to the alley.
Song Yuqing gently pulled the kitchen knife off Gaha's head, then dragged the dead zombie king and other low-level zombies to the security gate, letting the security gate digest the bodies of these zombies one by one.
"Ding, advanced zombie~"
"Ding, primary zombie~"
"Ding, intermediate zombie~"
Gaha stared at the security gate curiously, feeling a little scared.
"Congratulations, Song Yuqing, you have killed over 300 zombies this month. You will be rewarded with a kitchen, dormitory and bathroom." Master Fu spoke like a boss who was hypocritically encouraging his employees.
Song Yuqing twitched her lips. Is this a reward? This is what Master Fu should provide her!
Surrounded by Xiao Roubao and Gaha, Song Yuqing opened the pale green door of the God's Supermarket and was greeted by a minimalist modern kitchen. Huo Bin followed at the end, feeling a pang of sadness as he gazed at the kitchen. He had lived in this house for 20 or 30 years, always using a simple kitchen. He had never expected Master Fu to renovate it!
Walking from the kitchen, there are four single dormitories. Although small, they are fully equipped. Each room has a bed, a desk, and a sofa. The wooden furniture is simple and warm. Next to the dormitories is a clean and bright shared bathroom with separate wet and dry areas and a smart toilet. Song Yuqing was almost moved to tears. Finally, she no longer had to go to the bathroom and shower next door!
Song Yuqing immediately assigned dormitories: one for him, one for Xiao Roubao, one for Gaha, and one... Song Yuqing looked at Huo Bin. Song Yuqing had not forgotten that Huo Bin stood by and watched when the zombies attacked them. At least he took a kitchen knife to show his support!
Huo Bin weakly pointed to the last dormitory: "Is that mine?"
"For now." Song Yuqing smiled slightly.
While Song Yuqing and Huo Bin were talking, Gaha had already run to her dormitory and was rolling around on her bed. A contract of sale appeared in front of her.
Gaha quickly showed the indenture to Song Yuqing.
“Gahhahaha…”
Song Yuqing took the indenture contract and looked at it carefully. This time, the indenture contract did not hide any information. It clearly stated the obligations and rights of becoming a clerk in God's Supermarket: listen to Master Fu, listen to the store manager, and work hard; food and accommodation are all included, and personal safety is guaranteed.
"Only employees of God's Supermarket can live in the staff dormitory." Master Fu said this to Song Yuqing and Gaha, as well as to Huo Bin.
"Gaha, Gaha!" Gaha happily bit his finger and signed the indenture with gray blood.
Song Yuqing smiled and sighed. She never expected that one of her shop assistants was a mutant panda and the other was a zombie with human consciousness.
Gaha proudly held up the indenture contract, and it disappeared into the air.
Song Yuqing and Little Meat Bun clapped their hands: "Welcome Gaha to join the God's Supermarket!"
Amidst the bustle of Song Yuqing, Little Meat Bun, and Gaha, Huo Bin seemed completely out of place. He walked out of the God's Supermarket dejectedly.
Huo Bin hopes that Master Fu and Song Yuqing can realize his absence, and through his absence, see his loss and will.
"Let him go, he needs to grow up."
When Song Yuqing wanted to go find Huo Bin, Master Fu stopped him...
