Chapter 29 Wen Qianxue
With a click, the lock came free.
Pu Zhi used her foot to push the door open. The damp and rusty iron door made a creaking sound that echoed in the empty supermarket.
Along with it came the smell of excrement and decay. Pu Zhi almost couldn't hold back from retching. Even though he had used his clairvoyance to observe it in advance, the sight and smell were really not on the same level.
She raised her gun and scanned inside. The flashlight was like sunlight breaking into the darkness, lifting the darkness for the girls inside and guiding them to a bright future.
The girl in the lead was disheveled and only wore a thin dress. Behind her were eight timid girls, also wearing only thin clothes.
They were all extremely thin, ranging from teenagers to people in their twenties. One could clearly see that there was only a thin layer of flesh left on their chests, and their ribs were clearly visible. They almost looked like mummies.
Lin Qingqing lowered her head in silence, not daring to look. She was afraid that if she looked again, she would not be able to help them.
Pu Zhi shone the light towards the corner again, where there was excrement and a corpse. The body was dry, as if it had died of starvation due to lack of water, but its hands and feet seemed to have been gnawed by rats, leaving several holes.
In another corner of the warehouse, there were waste cardboard and two or three extremely dirty quilts. Four girls with dull eyes were lying there motionless, like zombies.
Suddenly, the girl who had spoken earlier fell to her knees, choking and sobbing, her voice just loud enough for everyone present to hear: "Thank you for saving us, thank you."
Lin Qingqing had just helped her up when the other girls knelt down again.
Pu Zhi pointed his gun at them and said, "Be quiet. The zombies will be attracted here."
When the girls saw the gun, they shrank back in fear towards Lin Qingqing, who seemed more talkative, and then lowered their voices.
A group of girls kept telling Lin Qingqing about their experiences. Although Lin Qingqing felt sorry for them, she was overwhelmed by listening to so many people talking at the same time.
Seeing that there was no danger, Guo Shi and the other man who were guarding behind also came over.
Xiao Ren appeared along with them, scaring the girls on the ground so much that they were terrified and screamed.
"Quiet!" Pu Zhi shouted angrily, looking at the girls with disappointment. It was useless to go out like this, as they would be eaten by zombies in the first place.
Several people huddled together timidly, except for the girl who appeared at the beginning, who looked scared but did not cry out.
"My name is Wen Qianxue. I know that it's not easy for everyone in the end times. I will always remember your kindness in saving my life. I only ask that you show me a way forward. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay you."
At the warehouse door, Wen Qianxue spoke in a low but firm voice, and Pu Zhi had a good impression of her.
Lin Qingqing and Guo Shi looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. If only there was a clear way out. Now they were just surviving.
Pu Zhi looked at the zombies in the warehouse, then looked at Wen Qianxue. Life is not easy for anyone, and she has this mentality, so she will definitely live a good life in the future.
"I heard someone say that the authorities are planning to build a survivor base, but they haven't announced the exact location. I guess they'll probably choose to build it in a provincial capital or somewhere with a special purpose. You can try to look for it."
Everyone present looked at Pu Zhi, as if to ask, is this true?
Pu Zhi unnaturally swept her tongue across the roof of her mouth, her eyes a little vague, and said with forced indifference: "I just heard it from others. If you want to try it, go ahead. If you don't want to go, it's up to you."
Suddenly, Qingyin, who had been hiding the bracelet under her clothes, tapped Pu Zhi's arm. She realized that she was too nervous and immediately adjusted her mentality.
She was a socially anxious person in her previous life. Even in a safe situation, too many people's gazes would make her unconsciously nervous.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Wen Qianxue's mind, and she finally chose to go find the survivor base that Pu Zhi mentioned.
She bowed deeply to Pu Zhi and the others, saying, "Thank you very much. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you."
After saying that, she walked out of the supermarket. Unlike the other people who looked lifeless, she was full of hope for life.
Pu Zhi couldn't help but remind him, "Smearing zombie blood on your body can block the zombies' detection when you are at a sufficient distance."
Then he handed her the butcher knife hanging on his waist for self-defense. Fortunately, he didn't bring a long knife today, otherwise he would not be willing to give it up.
Wen Qianxue stopped, turned around, took the heavy butcher knife, bowed to Pu Zhi again, and walked firmly towards the uncertain future.
The remaining few people were dumbfounded. When Wen Qianxue first came, she was out of tune with them and was always silent. How could she be so courageous?
Pu Zhi found her very interesting. From the initial compromise before the door opened, to her decisiveness in choosing her future path. Her intelligence far surpassed the others here. If she had supernatural powers, she would definitely be a remarkable figure in the future.
After rescuing the people, Pu Zhi didn't plan to stay for long, so Lin Qingqing and the others naturally followed. Looking at the girls who were reluctant and confused, she could only sigh silently.
Only when you are strong enough can you protect others. If a weak person tries to be a good person, he will only harm himself and his family.
After smelling the smell in the supermarket for a long time, now when I come out, the air seems to be much fresher.
Jiang Quan, who had been hiding on the second floor next door, tried hard to control his breathing, hesitating whether to launch a fireball to kill Pu Zhi and his group.
But when he thought of his strange condition this morning, he became scared again.
Although I am attracted by beauty, I will not fall in love at first sight. I have the illusion of first love. It must be that the woman has the ability of mind control!
Thinking of this, he began to doubt whether he could beat her. What if she killed him in return? The pain from the rocket explosion this morning was still fresh in his mind.
In a moment of inattention, a stone fell from the second floor under his feet, attracting Pu Zhi's attention.
Seeing her coming towards him with a gun, Jiang Quan's heart was beating fast, and between killing and escaping, he chose the latter.
When Pu Zhi reached the second floor, the person had already disappeared, leaving only a few drops of blood on the ground. Jiang Quan ran quite fast.
The moment he heard the sound, Pu Zhi used his special ability and found Jiang Quan. Unfortunately, he only had a submachine gun in his hand, which could not penetrate the concrete wall, so it was a good opportunity for him.
But the temptation card is really useful, whether it is on the dead Tian Juanjuan or Jiang Quan.
After deciding on the plan to strangle the Flame Gang, she had been out killing zombies. On the 37th day of the apocalypse, she played a temptation card. Originally, she might have to suffer some losses before she could deal with them, but in the end, she just had to act.
On the way back, there were many lone zombies, and Pu Zhi did not clean them up because she was worried about leaving her back to others.
Xiao Ren was very active in killing zombies. He killed seven or eight along the way and carefully dug out the crystal cores with his claws.
Guo Shi and Zhang Xiaobai benefited from Xiao Ren's help, and from time to time they could work together to pick up the zombies that Xiao Ren missed.
After they were killed, Lin Qingqing would go to dig out the crystal cores. There were four in total, and each household got two.
Seeing that it was getting late, Pu Zhi called Xiao Ren back home.
Now it has grown too big, and bathing it has become a strenuous task. Fortunately, after its mutation, its hair dries very quickly, and Puzhi can dry it in just fifteen minutes with a hair dryer.
For dinner, I made braised pork ribs and dry-pot prawns. They tasted salty and fragrant. I didn’t expect that the prawns that I couldn’t afford before the apocalypse, I could eat them now. The chewy texture made me unable to stop eating them.
The rich aroma of braised spareribs makes people drool.
Hmm? Drool?
