Chapter 4 ~ Primary Zombie
When Lin Han heard Song Yuqing say that four zombies could only be exchanged for a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles, his eyelids twitched. Song Yuqing was so cruel.
Knowing the times, Lin Han and the others had no choice but to accept that Song Yuqing's price was reasonable. They dumped the four decaying zombies outside the store and turned back to fight the zombies. The zombies roaming outside the alley weren't in groups, so the four of them could easily defeat them.
Song Yuqing looked at the zombies on the ground and felt nauseous.
These zombies were once living people, able to run and jump and sing silly songs, but now they are just maggot-infested corpses of rotting flesh, making faint "thumping" sounds. That is the sound of gas produced by the decomposition of the corpse's internal tissues.
"Hey, hurry up and carry these little zombies to the security gate!" Master Fu was very excited.
Security gate? Song Yuqing then noticed that the ordinary security gate was flashing white light and making a "sizzling" sound of electricity.
"That's the zombie value assessment system equipped by God's Supermarket."
Following Master Fu's instructions, Song Yuqing put on plastic gloves and pulled the zombie through the security gate.
"Ding~Primary zombie."
The security door reported the inspection results of the zombie body in a playful tone. A white curve like lightning flashed in the door frame, gradually melting the zombie's body until it disappeared.
Song Yuqing was slightly surprised, and the next moment his expression returned to normal and he continued to drag the zombie.
After people turned into zombies, their weight became lighter. Song Yuqing threw the four zombies into the security gate effortlessly.
Finally, Song Yuqing picked up a handful of ashes from the ivy on the ground and rubbed his hands hard.
"Congratulations, you've traded four zombies, and there are still twenty-six left~" Master Fu said suddenly.
Song Yuqing sat down on the small chair at the door, and she realized a very important problem.
"What happens if I don't complete the target of thirty zombies in a month?"
"Then I will consider changing the manager of God's Supermarket." Master Fu said seriously.
Song Yuqing frowned, that meant she would not be protected by the convenience store.
Grunting, Lin Han and his three companions came back, each dragging a zombie. Their clothes were stained with the zombies' green body fluids, which gave off a faint disgusting smell.
Lin Han noticed that the zombies on the ground were gone, and he wondered, "Where did you throw the zombies?"
Song Yuqing calmly picked up a zombie and threw it into the security gate.
"You can help yourself to whatever flavor of instant noodles you want."
Lin Han stood there motionless, truly baffled. Why did Song Yuqing possess such a strange object? What was its use? Why couldn't it be his?
Lin Han's three accomplices had already run to the shelf. They couldn't carry the instant noodles and water, and looked at Song Yuqing helplessly.
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms."
"Braised beef."
"I want braised beef, too."
"It tastes like seafood." Lin Han squeezed out a few words from his teeth.
"Okay." For a moment, Song Yuqing felt like he was back to his childhood when he was helping his parents run the store.
Lin Han put the water and instant noodles into the space one by one, and the four of them walked out of the alley, ready to fight more zombies. Lin Han already felt a sense of pride. Zombies were nothing special.
Song Yuqing was holding a zombie in one hand and was about to throw it into the security gate when Master Fu spoke hurriedly.
"Don't you want to remove the crystal core from the zombie's brain? That crystal core can strengthen your body and enhance your superpowers."
Song Yuqing had read in a novel that by knocking open a zombie's skull, one could obtain a crystal core.
"Yes, just as you thought. Crack their skulls open."
Song Yuqing couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't even dare to bite the spicy duck head.
"How do you know it's not fun if you don't try it?" Master Fu laughed.
A wrench appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Give it a try, there's always a first time for everything.
Song Yuqing picked up the wrench, suppressed his nausea, and pried open the zombie's head. He gritted his teeth and picked out a gray, crystal clear crystal from the zombie's brain. The crystal was stained with sticky green liquid.
Is this the crystal core? Song Yuqing was about to take a closer look at the crystal when it gradually shrank until it disappeared. All that was left on her hand was a disgusting mucus, like a long snot.
There was a warm current in Song Yuqing's body, which spread from his hands to his whole body.
Not far away, Lin Han and his companions stood there, each dragging two zombies' legs. When his accomplices were about to pull the zombies forward, Lin Han stopped them.
Lin Han imitated Song Yuqing, using brute force to smash open the zombie's skull and extract the crystal core. Watching the crystal core shrink in his hand, eventually becoming part of his internal energy, Lin Han raised an eyebrow. He knew it was impossible for Song Yuqing, with his thin arms and legs, to possess such extraordinary powers! It turned out to be the crystal core's work!
Lin Han and his four companions dragged the zombie into the corner of the alley and started smashing its head.
After Song Yuqing dealt with the zombie's body, she lay down on the camp bed to rest. She didn't know that she would have a strong competitor in opening a shop.
"Ahem, about pricing... I think you need to rethink the pricing of supplies." Master Fu had been holding this in for a long time, but finally couldn't help it. He had to remind Song Yuqing.
"Okay," Song Yuqing agreed readily. Four zombies in exchange for a bottle of water was only for Lin Han. Who made Lin Han have bad intentions towards her convenience store without even asking her?
Song Yuqing wanted to find a benchmark, thought for a moment, and decided: since these supplies will become more and more popular, then sell them according to the selling price of the scenic spot, that is, one zombie is equivalent to ten yuan.
A zombie, a bottle of water.
Two zombies, a bottle of water and a pack of instant noodles.
And so on.
As for daily necessities and outdoor equipment, at least twenty zombies are needed to exchange them.
“Is this a reasonable price?”
Master Fu: “It’s okay…” In Master Fu’s mind, one zombie is equal to ten bottles of water.
However, Master Fu did not object to the price set by Song Yuqing. He had his own plan. He wanted Song Yuqing to run the God's Supermarket obediently. And now, what he had to do was to stabilize Song Yuqing and not scare away another store manager.
On the other side of Chen Town, a tall, thin man sneezed. He huddled in a mall restroom, clutching the doorknob tightly. Outside, the restroom was swarming with zombies. The man kept reassuring himself, "It's okay. These are just basic zombies. It's okay."
A zombie was lying on the ground, looking into the toilet through the crack in the door.
"Ah!!!" the man screamed.
Most of the people who came to the mall last night turned into zombies. After hearing the screams, they all rushed to the toilet, blocking the road outside the toilet.
Hiss~ The zombies pulled and bit each other.
The toilet door was knocked open by more and more zombies. The man tried to release his supernatural powers and manipulate the nearby metal to block the zombies, but it was of no avail.
The man shed tears of regret. In the last moment of his life, he wanted to go back to that shabby convenience store.
In the Supermarket of God, Master Fu let out a long sigh.
"Song Yuqing, I'll give you some time. You must manage the supermarket well while strengthening your own strength. That way, even if I'm not by your side, you'll be able to protect yourself well."
Song Yuqing said coldly: "I understand."
"You must understand that I have good intentions."
Why does this sound so strange and familiar?
"Judging from your voice, you're only in your teens. Don't act mature. You look unsophisticated."
Master Fu: "No, how can you say that?"
