Chapter 3 Mutated Plants
"Exchange zombies for supplies. The zombies' useless bodies belong to me, and the crystal cores in their brains belong to you. You know what crystal cores are, right? They can enhance superpowers. They're really good for you!" Master Fu kept on talking. "Let me think about what kind of equipment to add to the supermarket."
Song Yuqing lay on the creaking camp bed. Meteor craters, meteor showers, zombies, parents... everything was buzzing in her mind. She couldn't concentrate on what Master Fu said and just felt it was very noisy.
A night passed, and Mr. Fu's voice disappeared at some point. For a moment, Song Yuqing felt that the world had not changed at all. She just found a quiet place to rest during the break of filming.
Perhaps the producer was looking for her frantically, and she had to grit her teeth and catch up with the filming schedule.
Song Yuqing stood up and gulped down a bottle of water. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of light filtering through the crack in the door.
Song Yuqing opened the door a crack and peeked into the situation outside.
Good, there are no zombies outside the door.
Song Yuqing opened the door a little further and stuck his head out.
Very good, there are no zombies in the entire alley.
Song Yuqing simply stepped out of the convenience store. The breeze was as comfortable as usual, neither too hot nor too cold. The creepers on the alley walls seemed even more lush than yesterday, threatening to take over the entire alley.
Boom——
A man was tied up with vines and fell in front of Song Yuqing from the other side of the alley wall.
Countless tiny tentacles extended from the vine and pierced into the man's skin. A small yellow flower poked its head out from the huge palm-shaped split leaves and slowly approached the man's terrified face.
It's a mutant ivy!
Song and Qing were horrified. They didn't expect that even the most common ivy could become a life-threatening existence.
Song Yuqing hurried back to the convenience store and left the door half-open.
Suddenly, the yellow flower opened its petals and grew larger at a speed too fast to be seen with the naked eye, like a bloody mouth, ready to devour the man. The man struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the tighter the vines wrapped around him.
The man caught a glimpse of Song Yuqing hiding behind the door, and he felt even more desperate.
Song Yuqing's eyes met the man. She knew this man. He was Lin Han, the photography assistant in the crew.
Since she knew him, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Song Yuqing closed her eyes, sensing the space, and took out the magic leg that had been stored in the space yesterday. She suppressed her fear, raised the magic leg with all her strength, rushed forward, and smashed it hard at the vines at Lin Han's feet.
The big yellow flower shook, turned its head towards Song Yuqing, and made a "cooing" sound.
Song Yuqing was exhausted. The magic leg was too heavy. Seeing the yellow flower rushing towards him, Song Yuqing swung the magic leg and pierced the flower's gaping mouth.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the big flower remained motionless.
Song Yuqing was sweating and used a Swiss Army knife to cut the vines that tied up Lin Han, but every time he cut one vine, another one would grow back.
Dahua shook twice and spit out the magic leg. The fallen magic leg hit Lin Han's ankle, and Lin Han screamed in pain.
The big flower straightened up each of its petals, and it was about to start revenge, revenge on the woman who made it eat metal.
When she was about to die, Song Yuqing dragged Lin Han into a convenience store. She wanted to try to see to what extent this convenience store could protect her.
Sure enough, the vines could not enter the convenience store. The vines that originally wrapped around Lin Han turned black and charred as soon as they entered the convenience store, as if they were burned by fire. They quickly retracted all the vines and hung pitifully outside the door.
call out--
A ball of fire fell into Dahua's mouth, and instantly all the creepers were ablaze. Strangely, the low wall occupied by the creepers was not affected by the fire at all.
Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that if one survived a great disaster, there would be good fortune in the future.
Three men came from the other side of the alley, around the burning ivy, and ran towards Lin Han.
"Brother Lin, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Han got up from the ground. His exposed skin was riddled with small holes from the ivy vines.
"I didn't expect that you were still alive, Director Song. Thank you so much for saving me."
Lin Han thanked Song Yuqing while looking around the convenience store. The four rows of shelves filled to the brim with joy. Since last night, he had finally seen something to eat and drink. He wanted to store everything in this convenience store in his space! His space was huge, the size of ten football fields. The supermarkets and shopping malls in town were all overrun by zombies, and he didn't have the guts to break in.
"Drink some water to calm down." Song Yuqing took four bottles of water from the shelf and handed them to Lin Han and others. "What's the situation outside now?"
"It's miserable, a living hell, there are few survivors."
"Maybe he's hiding. Anyway, there are zombies and man-eating plants!"
Lin Han took the water and drank it in big gulps while reaching out to the shelves. He silently activated his supernatural powers to put all the shelves into the space.
Song Yuqing watched his every move but did not stop him.
Lin Han no longer cared about Song Yuqing's reactions. He mobilized all his supernatural powers and was soon sweating profusely. However, his supernatural powers were almost exhausted, and he still could not put all the supplies in the room into the space.
Really?
Lin Han frowned and looked at Song Yuqing. This woman's ability could actually suppress him! And she was the one who scared away the creeper just now, right?
"Director Song, do you want to join us? There are four of us, and each of us has special abilities."
As soon as Lin Han opened his mouth, the other three men were startled.
"No, this is not good, bringing a burden along..." One of the men whispered in Lin Han's ear.
"No need." Song Yuqing smiled faintly, "I plan to open a convenience store... a supermarket here."
silence.
The three men around Lin Han were trying to hold back their laughter, while Lin Han stared at Song Yuqing with a serious expression, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Supermarket? Do you think anyone would be willing to pay for supplies?"
Song Yuqing felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Han.
"How do you know there won't be?"
Because I, Lin Han, will rob you. I, Lin Han, think you don’t deserve to own these supplies.
Lin Han smiled and winked at the three men. A handsome man frowned slightly. He understood what Lin Han meant. The four of them had escaped the zombie swarm together last night and had already formed a tacit understanding.
In the end times, the strong are king, and the rules of the old world no longer exist.
You can't think about morality anymore.
The handsome man secretly activated his supernatural power, and a water rope appeared in the palm of his hand, which he threw towards Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing dodged and avoided it.
Song Yuqing sighed. She had expected this to happen, but she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. She dodged the water rope, but was trapped by a ball of flame, unable to move.
The man who released the fire ring looked very proud.
Song Yuqing was not angry. She looked at the four men in front of her quietly. Master Fu was talking to her, and only she could hear it.
In the eyes of the four men, this calm attitude seemed like a mockery of them. The circle of fire shrank even tighter, as if it would engulf Song and Qing.
Lin Han reached out to take the supplies on the shelf, but he couldn't lift it. A small bag of instant noodles seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"If you want supplies, why don't you exchange them for zombies?"
Under the puzzled gazes of the four people, Song Yuqing pushed aside the fire circle, put them into the fire circle, and pushed them out of the convenience store.
Song Yuqing clapped her hands with satisfaction. This was one of her privileges as the store manager. As long as she was in the store, she would not be afraid of any supernatural attacks.
Lin Han's heart sank, his face darkening. His three accomplices also showed anger, rolling up their sleeves and preparing for a fight.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Lin Han stopped them. He knew that Song Yuqing's abilities should not be underestimated, so he said "wait and see" and turned away with the three of them.
Song Yuqing opened the door, moved a small chair to the door of the store and sat down, chewing some bread.
From time to time, the hissing roars of zombies could be heard from afar. Outside this alley, people were screaming, running, and fighting. Could it be that all this was just a movie? In these kinds of movies, there's usually a savior who leads everyone to an end to the apocalypse.
Song Yuqing knows her own worth. She is not a savior, but just an ordinary convenience store owner.
A white light flashed, and a small sign appeared on the door of the convenience store - "God's Convenience Store". Along with the sign, there was also a security gate.
Before Song Yuqing could react, Lin Han ran back with three men, each dragging a dead zombie.
"How many supplies can four zombies exchange for?" Lin Han forced a smile.
Song Yuqing: ...I don’t know either.
"Since you are our first customers, I will give you a discount. Four zombies can be exchanged for a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles."
Master Fu: ...You are a bit black-hearted...
