Chapter 14 This and That
As the supermarket was upgraded, the sign at the door also underwent subtle changes.
Shannai was not sure what material it was made of, but she felt that the new door was like glowing glass. The four big words "Lucky Supermarket" were very bright in the silent and dark city!
Ten miles away from the supermarket, Li Jianan carried Lin Rou on his back and walked as fast as he could.
"Brother Jianan, are you really going to that swindler supermarket?" Lin Rou pouted and lay on his back.
She really couldn't walk anymore, and Li Jianan didn't let her take a break, so why not just carry him on her back? She was happy to have some free time.
Li Jianan leaned against the street lamp and wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand. "Rou Rou, we haven't had any water for three days. Do you still want to drink rat blood? It won't hurt to go and see."
Lin Rou frowned when she heard that.
Li Jianan's life was saved by Lin Rou's father at the risk of his own life. Lin Rou was the one his father entrusted with his life before his death.
So even if Lin Rou was unreasonable on a daily basis, he could tolerate it.
Besides, Lin Rou’s special ability is healing, which is what he needs.
Since their last encounter with Shannai, Li Jianan and the others found a place to hide for a few days. When their injuries were almost healed, they came out to continue looking for supplies.
But three days passed in a flash, and nothing was caught except two mice and a bottle of expired and spoiled drink.
If they don’t replenish their energy, it will be difficult for them to return to the base.
After all, the road between this city and tomorrow's base is deserted.
There were rustling sounds behind the two of them.
"Brother Jianan is a night attack zombie!" Lin Rou turned her head and exclaimed.
She quickly jumped off Li Jianan's back and hid beside him.
This is exactly why Li Jianan wants to hurry up and travel. Most of the zombies that come out at night are third-level night attack zombies. They move fast, can avoid attacks, have clear vision in the dark, and are very tricky.
Under the hazy moonlight, Li Jianan squinted his eyes and saw a night-attack zombie behind him, his body rotting, his head drooping on his neck. He could smell the disgusting stench from a long distance away.
The Night Raid Zombies quickly rushed towards the two.
Li Jianan also immediately used his supernatural metal to resist the zombie attack.
After some entanglement.
The zombie spun around magnificently, its rotting flesh and blood splashing all over Lin Rou's face. Disgusted, she screamed, "Ah~ Brother Jianan, save me!"
If Li Jianan hadn't stood in front of her, she would have been torn in half.
"Run, you can't win." Li Jianan chopped the zombie with all his strength and said with a grin.
A third-level zombie is no joke. It is very agile and has good jumping ability. His metal ability is only second-level, so he has no chance of winning.
After saying this, Li Jianan grabbed Lin Rou and started running without looking back.
There were zombies behind him, and he ran so fast that Lin Rou's heels couldn't even touch the ground. "Jia... Jia... slow... down..."
The man in front didn't care at all. He gritted his teeth and ran desperately. He had the idea of leaving Lin Rou behind.
As expected, bringing her along is a burden.
"puff--"
A thick steel bar pierced Li Jianan's shoulder, and blood instantly soaked his clothes.
It's a night attack zombie.
It actually knew how to use tools, Li Jianan was terrified.
It seems that this time it is very dangerous, "Rou Rou you..."
"Shut up! Li Jianan, listen to me, hold it back! Don't run in the same direction as me. Even if you die, you must buy me some time! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of my dad?" Lin Rou interrupted him anxiously and pushed him towards the zombie.
Her expression couldn't be seen in the darkness, only her vicious words.
Lin Rou has complicated feelings towards Li Jianan.
because……
Father Lin did not die saving him.
The fact is that Lin's father was bitten by a zombie, and when he was still conscious, he met Li Jianan, the son of Lin's driver.
When Lin's father saw that he had just awakened his supernatural powers, and thought that he was about to die, and Li Jianan was a kind-hearted person with a strong sense of responsibility, he wanted to use this opportunity to let him protect his daughter in this doomsday.
So Lin's father deliberately lured a few zombies, and then he appeared "bravely" with his daughter, who sacrificed herself to save him, acting out a good show of entrusting his child to others before his death.
Only Lin Rou knew about this.
Over the past few years, Li Jianan has indeed taken great care of her. Even if he only has one bite of food, he will give it to her.
But Lin Rou was still not satisfied because Li Jianan didn't like her very much and was very cold to her.
But now, he was stabbed by a zombie, and the blood would immediately attract other zombies. Lin Rou's healing ability was very low-level, and the ordinary wound last time would take several days to recover.
What’s more, there is a dangerous third-level zombie behind him!
Lin Rou didn't even think about it. After she finished speaking, she pushed the man next to her away and ran in the opposite direction.
It's too dark.
Her figure quickly disappeared.
Li Jianan frowned in pain and sneered silently.
"I couldn't ask for more."
This was her choice, and in this devastated world, he understood.
Li Jianan endured the pain and pulled out the steel bar in his chest, quickly using his metal powers to seal the bloody wound. He held the steel bar and fought with the night-raid zombies.
Lin Rou, if we meet again in the future, we will owe each other nothing.
He waved the steel bar in his hand and thought silently in his heart that without her, Li Jianan's desire to survive became stronger.
Lasted about ten minutes.
He was really unable to fight back, and could only use all the energy in his body to insert the steel bar into Ye Xi's waist, and then activate his metal ability to weld the steel bar to the iron pillar in the ruins next to him.
The night attack zombies had no sense of pain. Although they were trapped on the pillar, they still rushed forward desperately with their bloody mouths wide open.
A large kidney fell out through the hole in the waist, and other internal organs squeezed out at once, and it looked like it was about to tear itself apart.
Li Jianan wiped the blood off his hands and turned away.
…
[Host, it's already 8:30 and you haven't had dinner yet.] The supermarket's opening hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and you haven't eaten yet. It's really worrying.
"Shh~"
Shannai was staring at another electronic screen on the cash register, concentrating and unable to take his eyes off.
In addition to the supermarket checkout device screen on the checkout counter, there is another one that the system applied for a "super entertainment tablet" specifically for her because it was afraid that she would be bored.
The content of the small tablet is very comprehensive, with countless movies, TV series, cartoons, entertainment programs and various stand-alone games from Blue Star.
Shanna was watching a horror movie, and the atmosphere was frozen at this moment when the system suddenly spoke, scaring her.
She quickly curled up into a ball, hugged her knees, covered her eyes tightly with her little hands, and her ears flew up in fear, but in her heart she couldn't help but open her fingers a little bit and squinted her eyes to peek.
The system expressed helplessness. The host was obviously afraid to look at the female ghost in the movie, but he insisted on looking at it, like a timid little cat.
On the screen, a female ghost in red clothes with disheveled hair is walking towards the protagonist step by step.
The sense of immersion was so strong that Shanna felt through his fingers that the female ghost was about to jump out of the screen.
"Husband, come here~ Do you think I look good in a red dress~ Come on, have fun~
Don’t come over here—don’t—Ah!!”
"Bang!"
The movie protagonist suddenly screamed, and there was a sudden bang outside the supermarket door.
"Ah~" Shannai screamed in fear, and quickly reached out to frantically press the tablet's power off and volume buttons, and then turned its screen over!
【Host, don't be afraid, I'm here! 】
"Hmm..." Shanna looked at the muted tablet, touched her cat ears, and her mood immediately calmed down a lot. Then she turned off the movie.
She thinks that the plot of the horror movie is not that scary, but the background music is really creepy.
"By the way, is there anyone outside the door?"
Shanna noticed the banging sound, picked up the baseball bat hidden inside the cash register and walked towards the door.
