Chapter 40: Rising Star
"Run!" Seeing the zombies rushing towards them, the little boy shouted, and the group turned into an alley in a panic.
The metal frame of God's Supermarket appeared faintly in the silent night.
"Chen She, why don't we go back to the base?" While running, a middle-aged man in the team pushed the little boy.
"I'm not going back!"
Shen She looked at the dark alley ahead, as if hope was there, not far away.
"Gaha!" A strange cry came from behind Shen She. Looking back, the zombies did not go into the alley, and everyone slowly stopped.
This time I saw clearly that outside the alley, the girl with dreadlocks who was shouting "Gaha" was indeed chasing the zombies, running back and forth at the entrance of the alley.
"Gaha!" After a curse, the girl with dreadlocks grabbed the air wildly, and the zombies actually walked back to the girl with dreadlocks, allowing the girl to mess with them.
"Gahahahahahaha..." The girl with dreadlocks spoke in a loud voice, and her tone sounded like she was specifying some rules.
"Is that a human?" The middle-aged man stopped. It was usually the zombies chasing the humans, how could a human chase a zombie?
"I'm afraid it's a zombie." Shen She frowned, and a maturity that was not in line with his age appeared on his childish face.
"Gah!"
Outside the alley, Gaha clapped his hands in satisfaction, looking at the backs of the dozen or so zombies around him, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Every zombie in sight was covered in A4-sized posters with large characters: Zombies for Supplies, Bell Street God's Supermarket.
Gahati walked into the alley, preparing to go back to God's Supermarket to sleep.
"Gahagahagahagaha..." Gaha hummed a little tune, and thought that someone would come to the Supermarket of God because of the advertisements on the zombies, so his hands and feet started moving around involuntarily.
This was Song Yuqing's idea, to use zombies to advertise God's Supermarket. This is probably the safest way of marketing in the apocalypse!
"Ga...ha..." Gaha slowly turned around and looked back at the four figures he had just glimpsed.
Gaha tilted his head and looked at the four people, his eyes fell on the little boy in the front.
"Do you want to fight?"
"run?"
The other three people except Shen She were ready to make a move and turned their toes to the outside of the alley.
"Do you know where the God's Supermarket is? Zombies, sister?" Shen She asked after a moment of silence. Hearing Shen She ask this, the other three almost lost their balance and supported each other.
"Gaha!" There are still customers coming so late! Gaha thinks this is the effect of the zombie advertising salesman.
"Gah? Gah Gah! Gah Gah..."
You know I'm a zombie? You're not afraid, are you? Don't worry, I'm a good zombie. I don't eat human flesh or drink human blood. I'll even take you to the God's Supermarket!
Shen She and the other three looked at Gaha dancing and looked at each other in confusion.
Understand?
don't know? ! !
Gaha simply jumped forward and pulled Shen She towards the God's Supermarket.
Next to the security gate, Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao were digging out the crystal cores from the zombies' brains.
Song Yuqing's movements in prying open the zombie's skull have become more and more skilled, just like the aunt plucking duck feathers in the vegetable market. When Gaha brought Shen She and his group back to the God's Supermarket, Song Yuqing couldn't help but look at Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao happily.
"You guys keep working, I'll take care of the guests!"
Liu Xiaona nodded, numbly continuing her movements. Little Meat Bun, furious, threw the zombie, its skull ripped out, towards the security gate. The zombie's body hit the door's frame and bounced back to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen She politely picked up the zombie first and sent it to the security gate.
"Ding, primary zombie~"
"Ding, a primary time ability user~"
!!!
What the hell?
Shen She didn't expect that he would be exposed like this. He is still a child, how could he be treated like this!
Except for Song Yuqing and Nan Jiao who was fiddling with plants in the house, everyone else looked at Shen She in surprise.
"No? You have superpowers? You didn't even tell us?" The middle-aged man who was traveling with Shen She grabbed Shen She's shoulders and turned Shen She towards him.
Time ability, sounds awesome?
Shen She stared into the middle-aged man's angry gaze, stubborn and silent. He had gradually awakened to his supernatural power while fighting zombies. He wasn't sure at first, until Lin Han occupied the hilltop of Base 27. To protect himself and those around him, he erupted once, and only then did he truly confirm that his supernatural power was time control.
"Superpowers can be a trump card to survive in desperate situations. Whether you tell others or not, there's nothing wrong with that." Song Yuqing patted the middle-aged man's arm. "He's still a child. You're being so strong, it's child abuse."
"Sister Song, I'm not a child!" Shen She looked unconvinced.
Song Yuqing smiled and walked into the Supermarket of God with a few people.
"Why did you come to see me?"
"This kid came up with the idea of buying supplies from you first, and then looking for other bases." The middle-aged man's eyes were attracted by the full shelves.
"Yes, give it a try and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!" Song Yuqing took a few water balls from the shelf and handed them to a few people.
"How many zombies do you want in exchange for this?" Shen She raised the water ball to his lips and then slowly put it down.
"One zombie and two water balls. I gave them to you just now. After all, not many customers come here on their own initiative."
"What about me? Why don't I get the same treatment?" Nanjiao pretended to be angry and kept rubbing the straw rope in his hands.
"Gaha!" Gaha widened his eyes and shook his head seriously.
Of course not! Yes! Those tomatoes and cucumbers we eat are much better than water balloons!
Shen She held the water ball quietly, observing everyone in the God's Supermarket.
Song Yuqing also quietly observed Shen She. Before today, her impression of this little boy was "pitiful". Now, she felt that this little boy was "scary" and that one day he would become a powerful figure...
"Sister Song? Sister Song!" Shen She stretched out her hand and waved in front of Song Yuqing.
"Can you play the role of a shopping guide?" Shen She could tell that this supermarket must have some unusual treasures. Compared to Shen She, the adults in the group seemed less serious, already captivated by the food and survival backpacks on the shelves.
Liu Xiaona, who had been looking into the room from time to time, hurriedly stood up when she heard that Shen She needed a shopping guide: “I’ll do it!”
Song Yuqing stopped Liu Xiaona: "Don't! Just dig your brain in peace!"
In addition to not wanting to touch zombies, Song Yuqing also has other selfish motives. She wants to establish a good relationship with the boss before he grows up.
Song Yuqing took Shen She to browse from the first row of shelves, introducing the goods one by one. At the end, Song Yuqing took out a few tomatoes and cucumbers from the space and winked at Shen She: "There are also these, ten zombies can be exchanged."
Shen She took the tomato carefully. Tomatoes that can increase superpowers are too precious. He will never forget Song Yuqing's help today. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
"Mission accomplished, God's Supermarket is about to be upgraded! Those who have not signed a contract please temporarily evacuate God's Supermarket and enter again after the upgrade is completed." Master Fu's voice was broadcast like a radio, accompanied by rapid and sharp alarms.
Song Yuqing felt the floor shaking a little, and the warm light above his head was also shaky.
Master Fu kindly reminded: "After this upgrade, we will no longer accept new employees for a long time. Liu Xiaona, have you considered this?"
