Just as the mother had successfully found food and was about to return to her office, a strange thing happened!
A zombie spotted the mother moving towards the office and let out an excited growl.
He smashed through the desk blocking his way and rushed toward the office.
The roars of the zombies terrified Alice's mother.
Upon seeing that her mother had been discovered, she immediately ran to the office door and stuffed the cookies in her hand into Alice's arms, who looked terrified.
He took a deep look at his precious daughter and said to Alice:
"Alice, live on!"
After several days of lack of food and water, Alice no longer had the strength to shout.
Grasping her mother's trembling hand, she murmured helplessly:
"don't want...
don't want!!!"
A surge of power welled up within Alice's mother, her hands stopped trembling, she pushed Alice aside, and locked the office door.
Under Alice's desperate gaze, he resolutely charged towards the zombies, shouting to attract their attention.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
He grabbed a monitor from the office and hurled it at the oncoming zombie.
On the first day of the apocalypse, she watched as her husband of nearly 20 years was devoured by zombies and reduced to a skeleton in front of her.
Alice's mother had long been contemplating suicide, but she persevered and did not collapse for Alice's sake.
Now that the zombies have discovered them, if they try to escape back to the office, the fragile door won't be able to withstand the zombies' continued pounding.
That would also implicate Alice, who was hiding in the office, so the mother decided to use herself as bait to lure the zombies away.
The mother's loud shouts and the loud crash of heavy objects falling attracted all the zombies in the hall.
As he fled away from the office, he lured away the zombies that had discovered him, under Alice's desperate gaze.
The mother's suppressed groans of pain came through the air, as she tried to prevent Alice from hearing her screams.
Soon, apart from the sounds of zombies chewing their food, nothing could be heard or seen...
Alice knew that her beloved mother would never come back.
Alice was filled with hatred. Why did the apocalypse have to happen, tearing her happy family to pieces?
He even wanted to witness his parents being devoured by zombies.
This despair almost caused Alice's brain to shut down and she to lose her mind.
He harbored a strong hatred for the zombies outside and hoped to kill all of these monsters.
At the same time, I hate myself for not having the courage to face these monsters.
'If anyone can avenge her...'
She's willing to give anything for this...
Even the devil needs to take her soul...
Alice waited in her heart for a miracle to happen and redeem her...
But if nothing unexpected happens, Alice will ultimately only die alone in this cold office, filled with resentment and bitterness...
Driven by her survival instinct, Alice mechanically shoved the last cookie her mother offered into her mouth.
......
Huang Zhao, who was collecting supplies at the shopping mall, also sensed Alice in the office building through his mental perception.
I just didn't know that she had such a tragic experience.
Seeing that there was food and drink in her office, they didn't rush to rescue her.
The floors above the shopping mall are mostly restaurants, which Huang Zhao skipped over, as there was no shortage of food.
Instead of spending time collecting grain bit by bit in the kitchen, it's easier to just find a granary and fill the supernatural space with it.
Huang Zhao had long planned to find granaries to collect food, but he wasn't in a hurry at the moment, so he hadn't set off yet.
Inside the shopping mall, skipping the restaurants made collecting supplies much faster, and about two hours passed in this way.
Huang Zhao collected the goods from the vast majority of shops on the second floor and above of the entire shopping mall into his special ability space.
The first floor of the shopping mall is a supermarket, and it also has the largest number of zombies.
But the variety and quantity of supplies were also the largest, so Huang Zhao naturally wouldn't let them go.
Huang Zhao and Qin Yi worked together to quickly clear out the more than two hundred zombies on the first floor that had not been lured away by the explosion.
It took another half hour to collect all the supplies from the tens of thousands of square meters of space on the first floor, and even the several storage rooms in the supermarket were not spared.
'Fight! So exhilarating!'
Standing in the empty supermarket, which seemed to be a newly selected location and had not yet received its goods, Huang Zhao finally felt somewhat satisfied.
In a pleasant mood, he spoke to Qin Yi through their mental connection:
"Let's go, Yi-ge."
We'll also rescue any survivors nearby and bring them back to Dawn City.
The shopping mall and the adjacent five-star hotel are separated by only one wall.
Under his mental perception, Huang Zhao selected a location that connected to the hotel's internal corridor.
With the immense strength of a level three flesh-based ability user, the giant hammer in Qin Yi's hand, now weighed two hundred kilograms, smashed a large hole in the wall.
After the wall was expanded, Huang Zhao and Qin Yi entered the hotel directly through the opening in the wall.
There are approximately 23 survivors in rooms on various floors of the 27-story hotel.
The hotel elevators had long since lost power and stopped working.
Huang Zhao activated his mental perception area and rushed directly to the floor where survivors were located.
They advanced with unstoppable momentum, Qin Yi leading the way and killing all the zombies they encountered.
Huang Zhao, behind them, collected the dead zombies into his special ability space.
It took nearly half an hour to clear out the zombies and climb the stairs to reach the 27th floor, which was also the highest floor where there were survivors.
Huang Zhao kicked the door open and, without explaining anything to the astonished survivors inside, told them to follow him out of the hotel.
They traveled through a zombie-free area without encountering a single zombie.
All the survivors trapped in the hotel rooms were rescued.
This left the survivors, who had been hiding for six days, with many questions.
'Where are the monsters outside?'
'If I had left earlier, could I have escaped much sooner?'
Who are these two people in armor?
'Why wasn't it an official rescue effort?'
Huang Zhao did not explain their doubts to them, and asked them to keep quiet.
Then, leading all 23 survivors from the hotel, they went through a hole in the wall to the first floor of the adjacent shopping mall.
Upon arriving at the shopping center, all the survivors stared in surprise at the empty supermarket.
If I remember correctly, the supermarket should have been filled with a wide variety of goods six days ago.
The place was completely empty, as if the supermarket had relocated in the last few days, leaving not a single shelf behind...
The survivors, who had hoped to have a good meal at the supermarket, were now stunned.
"Where are the supermarket's goods?!"
Huang Zhao's lips curled into a smile, hidden beneath his armor.
