It has been nearly a month since the doomsday outbreak, and the entire city is in trouble with water and power outages.
Except for those who still have surplus food at home and can pray and wait for rescue, most people have used up all their food reserves and are forced to go out to find food.
Li Yingying is a sophomore student. She has lived with an elderly couple since she was a child. She only knows that she was adopted and has no idea about her true life experience.
When the virus broke out, both elderly people died within half a month. At this time, she also joined the team looking for food and escape.
For some unknown reason, stations, high-speed railways, airports and other channels that lead to other cities were all blocked overnight, and people inside could not leave, and people outside could not come in.
On the way, she walked together with her classmates who were familiar with her at school. The boys in their team were strong and killed the zombies one by one with a stick, while the girls were weaker, but they also mustered up the courage and forced themselves to pick up weapons to attack the zombies.
In this way, they continued to search for a safe temporary place to stay and the food they needed for daily life. Now, the only thing to be thankful for was that no one in their team was injured or killed.
Today, they went out to look for food again. This time, their target was a convenience store. It was located in a remote area and was usually sparsely populated, so there should be a lot of stock left.
There were three boys and two girls traveling with them. The girl next to Li Yingying tugged at her sleeve in fear and said helplessly in a low, trembling voice, "I, I don't want to come out..."
Li Yingying patted the girl's arm comfortingly, a look of helplessness on her cold face. "Don't run around later. I will protect you."
"Really?" The girl grabbed her hand, slowly tightening it, and kept murmuring as if seeking confirmation, "I don't want to die yet. Those zombies are too scary."
"Don't be afraid. Haven't you seen how we fight zombies? It's very easy. Besides, A Ke and the others will protect you." Li Yingying poked the boy next to her with her elbow.
The boy's handsome face was filled with cold eyes. He glanced at the girl impatiently and said calmly, "If you don't want to die, pick up a weapon and fight the zombies yourself."
When the girl heard this, she felt so aggrieved that she almost burst into tears and lowered her head.
"Ake!" Li Yingying glared at the boy with a look of anger, then turned sideways and gently patted the girl's back. Her voice was crisp and powerful, "It's okay, I'm here for you!"
A Ke turned his head away and said nothing.
"Yeah..." The girl nodded, holding her other hand and never letting go.
Another boy came out to smooth things over. He put his arm around A Ke's shoulders, a bright smile on his face. "We're all classmates, so we should look out for each other."
As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far away. There was a larger convenience store ahead. I don’t know if it was so big because it was the only convenience store within a hundred miles.
"Look, the convenience store we're looking for is right over there. There aren't many people here usually, so there aren't many zombies to clean up. It's just that it's difficult to get back."
He looked at the girl who had been shrinking her head and said with a smile, "The supplies still depend on you, a space-capable person, to bring them back. We will bring you back no matter what."
After being warned by Li Yingying with narrowed eyes, he quickly added, "Even if it's not about transporting food, we will protect you. You can be braver."
