Chapter 29: Xie Hao disappeared to eat
At this moment, Lin Han's men could return at any time, so Xie Hao and Xie Zetian decided to stay in the God's Supermarket. They couldn't drive away potential customers when running a supermarket and doing business, could they? Besides, they were supposed to be repeat customers.
Liu Xiaona rolled her eyes: "You're so shameless!"
Xie Zetian shook his bangs and said, "Thank you. Only a thick-skinned person can be a boss."
Song Yuqing had no intention of turning the God's Supermarket into a B&B, so he strongly recommended that Xie Hao and Xie Zetian move into the vacant room next door. The extreme heat had already sapped the mutated plants there, and aside from the occasional zombies and the potential for a surprise attack from a superpowered being, there were no other dangers to worry about. The more Song Yuqing recommended it, the more he felt guilty.
"It's next door. There are free beds and restrooms... Anyway, it's better than being squeezed in the God's Supermarket."
Xie Hao: ...
Xie Zetian agreed readily, and then, as a neighbor, he sat by the window of God's Supermarket with Xie Hao, closing his eyes to rest.
"Gah~"
Gaha held a rag in his hand and signaled to the two men named Xie, "Please move aside, this zombie wants to clean the window glass."
Xie Zetian opened his eyes, then slowly closed them again. He was too tired.
Xie Hao stood up awkwardly, avoiding looking at Gaha. Anyway, falling in love with a zombie at first sight was a joke!
When it was dinner time, Song Yuqing urged Liu Xiaona to go to the kitchen to cook, but Liu Xiaona deliberately dawdled, touching the shelves and glancing towards the window.
"Those two are still there." Liu Xiaona whispered in Song Yuqing's ear, "Do we have to treat them to a meal?"
Xie Zetian pricked up his ears to listen to Liu Xiaona's whisper, but he sat still. Yeah, you know the ways of the world, right?
When Xie Hao heard Liu Xiaona's words, he frowned, stood up and left the supermarket.
Xie Zetian chose to continue sitting.
Song Yuqing looked out the door and saw Xie Hao running wildly down the alley, a large golden knife in hand, hacking at every zombie he saw. Gaha leaned over, curious about what Song Yuqing was looking at.
"Gaha?" Gaha thought Xie Hao was practicing, or perhaps venting? As a sentient zombie, Gaha had no particular fondness for zombies other than herself. She still liked people; their scent invigorated her.
Song Yuqing raised his eyebrows, turned around and pulled Liu Xiaona, who was rummaging through the shelves, into the kitchen. He took out beef and tomatoes from the space and asked Liu Xiaona to cook dinner for six people.
"Really? Give them to them for free?" Liu Xiaona was reluctant.
"Wait."
Sure enough, when Liu Xiaona was cooking tomato beef, Xie Hao came back dragging ten primary zombies.
"Ten..." Xie Hao paused and glanced at Gaha, "Ten zombies, can that provide five days of food?"
Song Yuqing nodded with satisfaction, and when Xie Hao sat down with confidence, he took two survival backpacks from the shelf.
"Survival backpack, containing medicine, water and other necessities. Ten zombies." Song Yuqing stretched out five fingers.
Without saying a word, Xie Hao jumped up from his chair and walked out the door.
Wow, you don’t bargain, you are such a good customer.
Song Yuqing scanned the shelves, wondering what else he could sell to Xie Hao. Whether Xie Hao could complete the sales of thirty zombies in one day depended on him.
Master Fu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, laughed angrily: "Just wait, I'll give you more tasks sooner or later. You're just taking advantage of the situation!"
In the alley, Xie Hao searched for zombies. When he defeated one, he dug out its crystal core to replenish his energy. He became more and more proficient in the fight, and the energy in his body gradually increased.
Before he knew it, Xie Hao had walked deep into the alley.
Strangely enough, the further into the alley he went, the fewer zombies he encountered. In reality, Xie Hao had already killed ten zombies, but he was addicted to them and couldn't stop. It was like playing a game, and before he knew it, a whole day had slipped by.
On a rooftop beside the alley, a zombie with golden eyes stared intently at Xie Hao, ready to attack at any moment. The T-shirt it wore had been torn into strips, a testament to its former human form.
"Hiss!" A bald zombie wearing a flowered shirt jumped down from the low wall and pounced on Xie Hao.
Xie Hao reacted in time and blocked the bald zombie's attack with his big golden knife. He met the bald zombie's golden eyes, and his heart was shocked. The big golden knife in his hand was almost snatched away by the bald zombie.
This was the first time Xie Hao encountered such a zombie.
"Hiss!"
The zombie in the T-shirt jumped down from the roof and grabbed Xie Hao's hair while he was not prepared. With a pull, Xie Hao's wig was pulled off.
The weather was very hot, but Xie Hao felt a cool chill on his head.
The two zombies coordinated their attacks, one on the left and one on the right. Xie Hao was momentarily at a disadvantage. The zombies he had encountered before were not so clever. They basically pounced without thinking, unlike these two golden-eyed zombies, who knew how to feint and cooperate.
"Ah!" Xie Hao tried his best to defend against the attacks of the two zombies, and seized the opportunity to run to the fork in the alley.
In the God's Supermarket, Liu Xiaona brought out the fragrant tomato beef rice. Except for Gaha, everyone else surrounded Liu Xiaona the moment they smelled the aroma.
Eat! The little meat bun smacked his lips.
Xie Zetian was not polite at all and took the first place to grab a plate of rice.
"Hey!" Liu Xiaona was angry.
Xiao Roubao, Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona, and Xie Zetian each grabbed a plate of rice and happily sat side by side by the window, devouring the meal. Gaha glanced at the tomato beef rice, sniffed it, shook his head, and walked away, sitting obediently next to Song Yuqing.
Xiao Roubao and Liu Xiaona finished their meal quickly and turned their attention to the two remaining plates of rice.
One bowl is for Gaha and the other bowl is for Xie Hao.
Liu Xiaona bit the spoon and asked Gaha vaguely: "Do you want to eat?"
"Gah." Gaha shook her head. She was not hungry at all. The tomatoes she had eaten today were still in her stomach!
So, Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao started to fight for Gaha's plate of rice, neither of them giving in to the other.
"Whoever eats it goes to find Xie Hao." Song Yuqing announced slowly.
Xie Zetian nodded vigorously with his mouth full of rice.
"Yes, it's almost dark, why hasn't Xie Hao come back yet? I have to go look for him!"
“I’ll go find it!”
After Liu Xiaona finished speaking, she buried her head in the food and started eating like a dog.
Little Roubao silently let go of the hand that was grabbing the plate:...Family members, Liu Xiaona is the animal.
In less than a minute, Liu Xiaona finished the whole plate of rice. He burped contentedly and leisurely went out for a walk. No, he was going to find Xie Hao.
Liu Xiaona looked outside the alley and didn't see Xie Hao. He then looked inside the alley and saw several rotting zombies lying on the ground.
"So many fights?"
Liu Xiaona walked into the alley, piling up the zombie bodies along the way as she walked.
"What the hell!" Xie Hao's shouting came from the alley. Judging from the sound, he was not far away.
Liu Xiaona felt nervous and quickened her pace, walking towards the direction where Xie Hao's voice came from.
As the sky darkened, the alley grew darker. A childhood nightmare washed over Liu Xiaona, and she swallowed hard, clenching her fists. He kept looking back, fearing something more terrifying than a zombie might appear behind him.
Fortunately, there were no people, no zombies, and no ghosts.
Liu Xiaona slowly exhaled and encouraged herself: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...
"Liu Xiaona!" A weak female voice.
Liu Xiaona froze in place, her facial features wrinkled.
