Chapter 8 Save Us
As far as she knew, there were three families on the third floor, including a young couple, a grandson and grandmother, and a middle-aged couple and a son.
There are two households on the eighth floor, one is a single man, and the other is a young couple, the wife is pregnant.
I hope you all are well and don't disturb her.
Pu Zhi smeared the blood left by the zombie on the ground all over his body. As long as no loud noise was made, it could block most zombies.
This method can be used one or two months before the end of the world, provided that you do not get too close to the zombies.
After tying his hands with gauze, Pu Zhi went downstairs with a long knife. When he passed by the third floor, he could hear women and children crying.
It would be troublesome if too many zombies were attracted, so Pu Zhi could only knock on the door: "The sound will attract zombies, so be quiet if you don't want to die."
There was a pause inside for a moment, followed by a whisper, and then footsteps approached and stopped at the door.
Perhaps because they saw Pu Zhi’s face covered in blood, not much different from a zombie, the person inside remained silent, but the crying became much quieter.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Pu Zhi did not delay and walked towards the stairs.
But they never expected that the door of Room 303 would suddenly open, and inside, an old man and a young boy appeared, one holding a stick and the other holding a kitchen knife.
It was the old lady that Pu Zhi had met before and the high school student named Zhang Xiaobai.
"Are you the sister from the sixth floor? Are you... okay?" Zhang Xiaobai stared at Pu Zhi nervously and anxiously. He thought that she should be a human since she could speak, but at the same time he was afraid that she would suddenly turn into a zombie and rush towards him.
When Grandma Zhang heard that Pu Zhi was the little girl she had seen before, she was stunned. She was covered in blood and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers". She was completely different from her previous harmless appearance!
Pu Zhi just glanced at the two of them, nodded coldly, and walked down the stairs in silence.
She is nearly 1.7 meters tall, and even in a black raincoat, you can still see her slender figure. Under her black shoulder-length hair is a palm-sized oval face, a tight jaw angle and cold thin lips, which make people subconsciously stay away from her.
Although she has a pair of affectionate eyes, her gaze is colder than her sword, and no one would choose to provoke her.
Pu Zhi's figure disappeared in the stairwell, and Zhang Xiaobai was still a little slow to react.
The door of room 304 next door suddenly opened a crack, and the middle-aged man looked around nervously, holding the door handle tightly, ready to close the door at any time.
Seeing that Pu Zhi was not there and Zhang Xiaobai was still outside, he mustered up the courage to stick half of his body out, his voice still a little weak after surviving a disaster: "Xiaobai, was that person just now...was that...was he a zombie?"
"It should be... no?" In fact, Zhang Xiaobai was not very sure. What if the zombies could speak?
"Is she the one on the sixth floor? She is definitely not a good person. Her face is covered in blood and it's obvious that she has killed someone. What if she goes crazy and wants to kill us?" Although he was sure that there were no zombies on the third floor, the man's squinting eyes kept moving between Zhang Xiaobai and the stairs.
Zhang Xiaobai had a serious expression and frowned tightly: "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the zombies here just walk up? That blood might be from the zombies..."
"But……"
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Grandma Zhang: "Xiao Wang, the world is unstable. We are lucky to be alive. Don't worry about these things."
As she spoke, Grandma Zhang pulled her grandson into the house and closed the door gently. She remembered that the girl on the sixth floor said that the sound would attract zombies.
Seeing that the two men did not listen to him, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang got angry but did not know how to vent his anger, so he could only return to his room in embarrassment.
Relying on the blood of zombies, Pu Zhi arrived at the electronics city safely. A big hole was broken in the door at some point, which came in handy for her.
After entering, she took off her raincoat at the door and threw it on the ground. The friction sound of the raincoat was too loud and would attract zombies, making it difficult to use her fists and feet.
She had checked this place before the end of the world, and following the location in her memory, she quickly found the shop on the second floor. However, the shop was closed with a rolling shutter door, so Pu Zhi could only use a butcher knife to break it open.
As the sword was chopped down one after another, the empty mall was filled with the thick and muffled echo of clang, which lasted for a long time.
Hoho——
Although the mall was closed, some zombies still sneaked in, attracted by the noise made by Pu Zhi.
Fortunately, there weren't many of them, only seven or eight, and they were brainless creatures, so it took them a while to find the stairs.
Amid the symphony of zombies, Pu Zhi successfully broke open the rolling door and found two diesel generators, including a latest model of generator that looked particularly advanced and had a label that said it was ultra-quiet.
In addition, there are photovoltaic panels for power generation, and two large barrels of diesel, about 20 liters, were found in the warehouse. Pu Zhi accepted all of them.
At this time, two zombies had already found the stairs and went up to the second floor. Pu Zhi did not dare to delay and quickly went to the third floor. After walking around, he found two shops that were not closed.
One is similar to a hardware store, selling a little bit of everything, including smart remote controls, wrenches, and radios, while the other one actually sells drones!
Pu Zhi bought all the drones and even the hardware stores, accepting all of them.
Just as the zombies ran up to the third floor, Pu Zhi ran to the fourth floor, half of which were snack bars. Unfortunately, only a barbecue restaurant and a milk tea shop were open.
The zombies at the beginning were so stupid that Pu Zhi stored three freezers full of meat and skewers and milk powder from the milk tea shop into the space, but only one zombie managed to catch up with them.
Pu Zhi took out a long knife and when he approached, he cut off his head without hesitation.
The smelly blood and pus splattered on Pu Zhi's arms and face. Her pupils dilated for a moment, but she never blinked.
The zombie's rotten head fell at his feet with a bang. His body struggled twice due to inertia, and he tried to grab Pu Zhi with both hands, but in just two seconds, his torso ran out of strength and fell down.
Seeing that the other zombies were about to catch up, Pu Zhi quickly ran to the first floor from the other side of the stairs. Just as she reached the gate, a panicked male voice suddenly rang out from the mall: "Save us!"
Pu Zhi quickly looked around the entire mall, trying to find where the sound came from.
Seeing Pu Zhi stop, the owner of the voice spoke again, his tone was obviously not as scared as before, but with a hint of command: "We are on the first floor, come and save us!"
The zombies had already reached the second floor. At this critical moment, Pu Zhi wanted to laugh because she saw where the person who was talking was.
There were three big men, two with black hair and one with blond hair, hiding in a small shop. They were strong and healthy, and they could easily kill the zombies in the mall as long as they lured the zombies away in a planned way.
But they only dared to hide in the store. They were so scared that they couldn't even hold their weapons, and needed Pu Zhi, a girl, to rescue them.
