"Hurry! Get out of here! The zombie tide here is about to break out!"
"But... this supermarket we finally found doesn't have any supplies yet..."
"Pa——" a crisp slap sound.
"Do you want supplies or your life?"
There was silence in the air, and then there was the sound of a group of people fleeing in a hurry.
…
The moment Chen Yao opened her eyes, she was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of her.
She was in a fairly large supermarket. The shelves, which were originally filled with goods, looked messy as if they had been swept through in a hurry.
It was obvious that the people who were sweeping the supermarket were in a hurry or too hasty, so a lot of things were scattered on the ground, making the whole supermarket look messy.
However, what really shocked her was the two bloody middle-aged men lying on their sides among the messy cargo. The white floor was covered with their dried blood. They kept their eyes closed and did not move. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Just as she was about to go over to check their pulse, strange cries outside the glass door of the supermarket caught her attention.
She immediately raised her eyes and looked out the glass door, and then she saw a group of zombies rushing towards her like a tide in the distance, and the unpleasant and strange screams came from their mouths.
Chen Yao looked at the half-open glass door and the group of zombies that were about to walk to the door. She moved her fingers quickly and used her mind to draw a barrier that could cover the entire supermarket, quickly isolating the group of zombies outside.
At the same time, she asked the system to accelerate the connection of the plot of this small world into her mind.
"Ding, the small world screen has been paused."
"Small World's "Apocalypse: Stunning Beauty, Cruel and Seductive" story loading has been completed."
Soon, Chen Yao found out who the two bloody people lying on the ground were. They were her biological parents.
The current time point of this small world is half a month after the end of the world. Most of the places where humans live have been destroyed beyond recognition by the sudden appearance of alien species.
Gradually, due to the lack of water and electricity, the supplies needed to sustain human life became increasingly scarce, and thus a melee to grab supplies began.
Chen Yao is a nurse. She had just been working for a year after graduating from college when the end of the world came.
Her parents run a supermarket in a remote suburb, which mainly provides supplies to long-distance truck drivers and others passing by, and make a living from it.
After the apocalypse, the hospital where Chen Yao worked was invaded by a horde of zombies. She barely escaped and tried her best to return to the supermarket to take emergency shelter with her parents.
Fortunately, their supermarket was located in a remote area, and there were few people living nearby. Therefore, in the first half month after the apocalypse, they were not besieged by zombies or plundered by humans.
Despite this, they did not dare to relax at all. They would keep the supermarket door closed at all times, day or night. Except for occasionally opening the door to get some fresh air, they would close the doors and windows and hide in their own supermarket to survive.
Fortunately, the supermarket is well-stocked, and the couple usually runs a shop and lives here, so they basically have all the necessary living conditions, whether it is water, food, clothes or other daily necessities, they are not short of them for the time being.
In this way, they survived the first half of the month together.
However, the good times didn’t last long—
As the city center has fallen, a large number of survivors began to run to the suburbs. Some of them would gather in groups, constantly looking for areas suitable for survival and stay, and at the same time replenish their dwindling supplies.
As a result, the Shen family's supermarket was targeted by some passing survivors.
The survivors of one of the teams had evil intentions. Relying on their numbers and the abundance of tools, they directly destroyed the rolling shutter door outside Shen's Supermarket, broke the lock of the glass door, rushed in and started looting supplies.
After they became greedy, the desires in their hearts continued to grow, even to the point where they wanted to monopolize the entire supermarket's supplies.
As a result, the entire Shen family was brutally killed by them, and now only bloody corpses are left.
It was only at this time that Chen Yao realized that the two bloody people lying on the ground had no vital signs.
Seeing this, Chen Yao couldn't help but clench her hands into fists. She gritted her teeth and asked the system to help mark all the murderers and accomplices who had left in a hurry not long ago. After that, she would make them pay with their lives one by one.
The system replied to her: "Host, all have been marked."
Chen Yao nodded and walked towards the two corpses. After feeling their stopped pulse and cold body temperature, she closed her eyes and let the system cremate them into ashes and then packed them up properly.
The system did as it was told, and at the same time comforted Chen Yao: "Host, don't worry, I will accompany you to find the murderer and take revenge. People like them will only kill their companions if they stay in the apocalypse. It is better to get rid of them as soon as possible."
Chen Yao pursed her lips and hummed softly.
After the system processed the bodies of Shen's father and mother, Shen Yao put away the box containing their ashes and asked the system: "What about the original Shen Yao?"
Although these are all virtual plots, once she enters the small world, it will become the real world. The time point when she came here was after Shen's father, Shen's mother and the original Shen Yao were killed, so it stands to reason that the body of the original Shen Yao should still be there, but she didn't see it.
The system replied, “In the previous small world, you directly wore it, allowing the virtual two-dimensional data to become the real you.
But in this small world, because Yuan Chenyao had already been killed and you entered it after that, to avoid the mutual exclusion conflict that would cause the small world to collapse, her body had already dissipated."
Chen Yao was silent.

Regarding the explanation of this small part, if you don’t want to understand it, you can just ignore it. I wrote it simply to explain the logic. If there is anything that doesn’t make sense, please... turn a blind eye.
