Tao Rui woke up in a new world and was pushed before he could do anything.
【Brother Rui, flash! 】
He heard the system's reminder and saw several ugly, non-human creatures in front of him. They looked like zombies in the game, and they really looked like they were going to scratch and bite him.
He quickly squatted down and rolled on the ground to avoid them.
"Brother Rui! Brother Rui, get in the car!"
A girl shouted anxiously, and Tao Rui immediately ran towards her. Next to her was a pickup truck, full of people. The back bed was also packed with seven or eight people, and it was starting.
The girl who called him grabbed the truck bed with one hand and reached out to him with the other, fearing that the truck would leave them behind.
Tao Rui went over and immediately helped her into the car, and then he climbed up in a few seconds.
A man next to him looked him up and down, snorted and said, "Boy, you're quick to react."
[Brother Rui, he was the one who pushed you just now!]
The system scanned the surroundings as soon as it arrived and just happened to see the man taking action.
Tao Rui turned his head to look at him, remembered him, and walked closer to the girl without saying a word.
The girl asked nervously, "Brother Rui, are you okay? Are you okay?"
"No." Tao Rui shook his head. The car had already driven off, leaving the zombies, who could only walk, not run, far behind. His face was expressionless, as if he didn't want to talk. He began to integrate the memories of the original owner, understanding the plot of this world.
The original owner, Tao Rui, was a doctor. By chance, he participated in a variety show and met Ji Yingying, a popular young actress in the entertainment industry. The two became a couple.
The original owner was handsome, and had a lot of fans who admired him for his looks. He realized that being in the entertainment industry offered more money than being a doctor, and it was less stressful than saving lives. So he treated Ji Yingying very well, hoping to find an opportunity to officially enter the entertainment industry.
In everyone's eyes, the original owner was a fantastic boyfriend. Even Ji Yingying's agent said she had found the right man. Ji Yingying's assistant, Liang Yurou, even secretly gave the original owner ambiguous hints in an attempt to steal Ji Yingying's boyfriend.
The original owner enjoyed this kind of life and felt that the future was bright. But everything was completely reversed because of the end of the world.
The apocalypse arrived suddenly, and many patients in the hospital turned into zombies, causing chaos. Fortunately, Ji Yingying went to the hospital to find the original owner, and the two of them escaped the disaster by talking at the door. Seeing that the situation was not right, they ran away quickly.
They were also with Liang Yurou at the time, and then they ran into the hospital's security captain. They got into the captain's car and quickly escaped. They fled to a closed small supermarket on the outskirts of the city.
Afterwards, about twenty people gathered at the small supermarket. The security captain had awakened fire powers, Liang Yurou had awakened healing powers and spatial powers, and the rest were ordinary people. Led by the security captain, they had run out of food in the small supermarket and were going out to fight zombies and look for supplies.
The original owner was so afraid of things going wrong even when he was a doctor, he didn't want to do it, so how could he have the courage to fight zombies? He went outside with a stick and turned pale with fear, instantly becoming a weakling who was despised by everyone. Although he was a doctor, who would need him when Liang Yurou had the healing power? Doctors still need medicine, and Liang Yurou could cure anything.
Ji Yingying was better than the original owner and not as scared, but she was weak and could not do much.
As a result, the status of this couple changed dramatically, especially the security captain and Liang Yurou, who used to work for them, but now they feel superior and look at them with contempt.
Ji Yingying is very beautiful and everyone knows this big star. In the end times, there are no legal and moral constraints, and many men are interested in her, including the security captain with super powers.
However, the apocalypse hadn't lasted long, and the security captain, unwilling to make things too awkward, began hinting to the original owner to hand the person over to him. The original owner played dumb, and while collecting supplies, he was pushed in front of a zombie and nearly bitten. That was the moment Tao Rui had just crossed over.
The original owner wasn't as quick-witted as Tao Rui, and his clothes were torn by zombies. It was Ji Yingying who desperately rushed to help him, and he was able to push the zombies aside and climb into the car. But he was already terrified, and when he returned, he immediately handed Ji Yingying to the security captain. He only hoped that the security captain would take him to the safe base and not abandon him.
Ji Yingying couldn't believe that the apocalypse had turned such a good boyfriend into a demon. She had a fierce temper, and when she couldn't defeat them, she committed suicide. The security captain was so angry that he beat the original owner severely, and from then on, anyone who was angry would take it out on the original owner. The original owner began to curry favor with Liang Yurou, acting as her lackey and giving her advice.
Although he was weak, he had many insidious ideas and helped Liang Yurou come up with ideas, which earned her attention. Later, on the way to the base, he encountered other teams and had new teammates. The original owner still survived by relying on this despicable behavior, always staying by Liang Yurou's side, and even helped Liang Yurou eliminate a mutant by sowing discord.
It wasn't until Liang Yurou met her true love, a lightning-powered person, that the original owner lost her support. But by then, the original owner had already entered a safe base and could find a way to survive there.
At that time, the original owner also heard that soldiers had gone to the neighborhood where his grandparents lived to rescue them, but his grandparents refused to leave and insisted on staying home and waiting for him. They said he had called and said he would go back to find them, and they couldn't leave.
The original owner had called, but that was right after the apocalypse. She was so frightened afterwards that she had forgotten about it and never thought of looking for the two elderly people. They were all alone in that small neighborhood, going from hope to despair. No one knew what they had been through.
The original owner didn't live many years in the apocalypse. When the base was overrun by zombies, capable people could escape, but a weakling like him was naturally doomed. However, he harmed many people, including Ji Yingying, her grandparents, a mother and son who bothered Liang Yurou, and a superpowered person named Fan Qi.
These people are Tao Rui's mission targets. He wants to rescue them and keep them alive as much as possible.
The end of the world is a test of human nature. The original owner was completely heartless and selfish, using despicable methods. Even if he died, it felt too good for him.
Fortunately, he was now in the Spacetime Bureau prison, experiencing firsthand the physical and mental suffering of all the victims. After ten tortures, Tao Rui felt that the original owner was so weak that his soul would most likely be shattered and unable to be reincarnated. This was truly satisfying!
The car drove to the small supermarket, and Tao Rui jumped out first to help Ji Yingying down. The man who had pushed him earlier cursed, "Get out of the way! You're useless and still blocking the road! Get out!"
Tao Rui remembered that this man never said his name. Everyone called him Da Zhuang. He had a very strong fist and was the right-hand man of security team leader Peng Yuedong.
He lowered his head and quickly pulled Ji Yingying into the supermarket.
Peng Yuedong got out of the passenger seat and glanced at them. Dazhuang leaned over and said jokingly, "Don't worry, Dong, this kind of coward will be scared to death even if he doesn't die. Tonight you can enjoy the feeling of being a big star."
Peng Yuedong lit a cigarette and smiled, "Even when I get tired of you, I won't forget you."
"Thank you, Brother Dong!"
The system relayed their conversation to Tao Rui, who said, "Don't be nervous. Have you forgotten I have a life-saving artifact? It can rebound. Temporarily set the rebound value to maximum."
When he was an emperor, countless people wanted to kill him, so he bought this life-saving artifact. He thought he wouldn't need it for a while, but he didn't expect the end of the world to come so soon.
Fortunately, the life-saving artifact that he bought with a large amount of points is absolutely powerful. Whoever wants to hurt him, the laws of nature will allow him to cleverly avoid it and reasonably rebound the damage to the perpetrator.
How much it bounces back depends on the rebound value he set. If the rebound value is set to a small value, he will still take some damage, but the rebound force is relatively small. Now he has set it to the maximum, so he will not take any damage at all and can definitely save his life.
Tao Rui pulled Ji Yingying to a secluded corner and sat down. Ji Yingying asked worriedly, "Brother Rui, are you really okay?"
Tao Rui shook his head, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes. "I'm fine, but I was frightened. Let me take it easy."
"Okay, Brother Rui, lean on me and take a nap for a while. When the food is distributed later, I... I will go and ask Xiaorou for help." Ji Yingying knew that Liang Yurou liked to see her in a miserable state now, but if she could get food, she was willing to ask for it.
The original owner must have been crazy not knowing how to cherish such a good girlfriend.
Tao Rui responded, tilted his head and leaned it on her shoulder, and began to feel the spiritual energy of this world.
The end of the world is the end of the world for ordinary people, it is a mixture of misfortune and surprise for people with special abilities, but for cultivators, it is just a place of trial and there is nothing to be afraid of.
From the perspective of a cultivator, the sudden appearance of so many zombies and superpowered beings is due to the sudden influx of demonic and spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Zombies are equivalent to low-level demons, lacking intelligence and having difficulty leveling up without help.
Those with special abilities are all people with good spiritual roots. Their talents are automatically stimulated without any special practice. They can be considered entry-level practitioners.
If a person with supernatural powers doesn't open up to the truth, their powers may not be that powerful. However, some people have high comprehension and can learn from powerful people, and their supernatural powers will gradually improve.
Many ordinary people would practice their entire lives to no avail, but some, simply because their spiritual roots were weaker, could also possess supernatural powers through correct practice or in life-or-death situations. Tao Rui's body was composed of three spiritual roots: water, wood, and earth. These roots were rather mixed, and he had never been able to activate his supernatural powers.
But he has top-level cultivation techniques. With such abundant spiritual energy, he can quickly draw the energy into his body and surpass others.
As far as he knew, there were no other cultivators or demon cultivators in this world. In other words, as long as he started practicing, he would have no rivals!
Tao Rui felt more assured now. He asked the system to open the mall panel and took a careful look around.
He didn't need the spiritual spring water he originally wanted to buy for the time being. This world had plenty of spiritual energy, and he also had a life-saving artifact. It would be a waste of opportunity to buy the spiritual spring water. After all, he could only buy it once in a world.
He looked at his points and the descriptions of various products, and finally chose a storage space.
Of course, buy the most expensive one.
This storage space is bound to his soul, and he can use it wherever he goes in the future, and he can take things away from the space.
The space is the size of a football field and is used for room temperature storage. There is also a basement, also the size of a football field, but it is a fresh-keeping basement. In other words, anything placed in it will be restored to its freshest state.
For example, if the ice is about to melt, it will turn into hard ice soon after being put in.
The apple that was almost rotten turned into the freshest apple soon after being put in.
The flowers that were about to rot turned into beautiful and tempting fresh flowers soon after being put in.
In short, anything fresh in the re-freshening basement will return to its peak freshness. Even small animals can be placed there, as they won't move around. This is much more practical than a refrigerated storage facility. Of course, completely rotten garbage can't be re-freshened, and people can't enter.
The height of these two storage rooms is five meters each, which adds up to ten meters. Although it is not as high as the storage tools that Tao Rui used in the world of cultivation, it is large enough to store only important things.
After buying the space, Tao Rui put his hand in his pocket and experimented with the folding fruit knife in his clothes pocket. With a thought, the fruit knife entered the space. Its position in the space was entirely at his will. When he wanted to take it out, it was immediately back in his hand. It was very convenient.
When he left the previous world, the emotional fading service was activated. He had now completely let go of the past and was starting the new world in the best possible condition. He was off to a good start, and all he had to do was cultivate.
At this time, Peng Yuedong came over with his men and deliberately embarrassed him, "Doctor Tao, did you fall on a zombie? For everyone's safety, we need to check if you are injured. Take off your clothes."
Tao Rui opened his eyes and saw everyone gathered around him. He stood up and said, "My clothes aren't torn at all, so how did I get hurt? For everyone's safety, why don't we interrogate Da Zhuang and find out why he pushed me towards the zombies?"
"What? Dazhuang pushed you?" Ji Yingying grabbed Tao Rui's hand tightly and said angrily, "Dazhuang, how could you hurt others?"
Da Zhuang's face darkened and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't even touch you, and you're wrongly accusing me!"
Peng Yuedong's smile faded. He hadn't expected Tao Rui to suddenly snap. It had been ages since anyone had called him Captain Peng. It reminded him of his days as a security guard, when he'd bowed and scraped to Tao Rui. Now everyone was calling him "Boss." Was Tao Rui doing this on purpose?
Tao Rui glanced at the others. "Everyone knows Da Zhuang is Captain Peng's thug. I think he dared to attack because he was following Captain Peng's instructions. What's the matter? Do you think I'm useless and a burden to you, and want to kill me? Everyone, be vigilant. Today it's me, tomorrow it could be any of you."
Several of the zombie-killers subconsciously retreated slightly, their expressions growing tense. Tao Rui was right. Tao Rui was a weakling, but weren't they? Peng Yuedong, Da Zhuang, and the other powerful ones seemed to be heading to the base. Why should they be brought along?
Peng Yuedong's expression changed, and he scolded, "Tao Rui, you are deliberately trying to sow discord..."
"Then you want to protect everyone here and get them to the safe base?" Tao Rui asked quickly.
Da Zhuang said angrily, "How can you guarantee this when you have no relatives or friends?"
Tao Rui spread his hands and said, "Look, we have no relatives or friends. They have no obligation to protect us, nor do they have any intention of doing so. Anyway, I'm sure that Dazhuang pushed me to feed the zombies today. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Since they don't admit it, then everyone should know what's going on and protect theirselves."
"You are talking nonsense and accusing us. You are looking for death!" Da Zhuang received the signal from Peng Yuedong and raised his fist to hit him.
Tao Rui pulled Ji Yingying behind him and took her to hide. When Dazhuang's fist was about to fall on him, the light tube from the ceiling suddenly fell down and hit Dazhuang on the head with a "bang". The light tube was smashed into pieces, and Dazhuang's head hurt so much that blood came out.
Da Zhuang cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Peng Yuedong hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Rou! Come here and let Da Zhuang take a look."
Liang Yurou ran over, took a piece of paper dipped in water and wiped Dazhuang's wound. She placed her other hand lightly on the wound, as if she was using some supernatural powers.
Tao Rui raised his eyebrows. The ghost's healing ability, isn't this the spiritual spring water?
I don't know where Liang Yurou got the spiritual spring water, but it's so effective that small wounds can heal instantly. So she pretended that the spiritual spring water had healing powers, which sounded quite impressive and useful.
Liang Yurou said gently, "Everyone, please be careful. My abilities are not very advanced yet, and I can only use a limited amount every day. Please try to avoid getting hurt as much as possible."
If I didn't know that this woman had seduced the original owner, I would have thought she was gentle and kind just by looking at her like this.
But everyone obviously liked her very much. They all nodded to her, said she had worked hard, and let her go and rest.
Liang Yurou looked at Tao Rui and Ji Yingying, shook her head and sighed, "You two are still so temperamental. It's the end of the world now. You should change your ways and stop thinking of yourselves as great doctors or celebrities. It's easy to lose your balance."
Everyone trusted Liang Yurou more than anyone else, and the way they looked at Tao Rui and Ji Yingying immediately changed.
However, Tao Rui did not give them the chance to say anything and directly suggested leaving.
"I'm the one being pushed out. I no longer feel safe in this team, so let's just break up. It just so happens that I need to go back to my hometown to look for someone, so it's not on your way."
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with surprise. Ji Yingying clutched Tao Rui's arm, but she remained silent when she thought of Tao Rui being pushed out. Although it was dangerous outside, they couldn't stay here any longer.
Liang Yurou and Peng Yuedong exchanged a look of surprise. Liang Yurou frowned and said, "Tao Rui, don't be so angry. Think about Yingying. If you two go out, won't it be like feeding the zombies? This is not the time to act rashly."
Tao Rui turned to look at Ji Yingying, "Yingying, will you come with me?"
Ji Yingying nodded without thinking, "Of course I'll go with you!"
Tao Rui then said, "We weren't originally a fixed group; we just met by chance. Now that we have our differences, it's best for us to separate. Or do you want to come with me to S County to look for someone?"
It was so dangerous, who would go with him to find someone? Even Peng Yuedong was not sure he could reach the safe base, the road was very dangerous.
Seeing that no one spoke, Tao Rui looked at Ji Yingying with an expression that said, "As expected," and was about to leave.
Peng Yuedong looked at Ji Yingying's face, unwilling to give in. He threatened, "If you don't collect any supplies, I won't let you take anything. Once you leave this door, no one here will care about your life or death. Ji Yingying, think it over. If you are willing to stay, I will keep you safe. Tao Rui, think it over too."
Liang Yurou lowered her head to hide her jealous look. Why would these bastards still fall for Ji Yingying even though she possessed two superpowers?
Wherever Ji Yingying is, she will never shine.
Thinking of this, the desire to torture Ji Yingying faded, and she kind of hoped that Ji Yingying would disappear soon.
Otherwise, if she met a man with powerful superpowers on the road and he fell in love with Ji Yingying, wouldn’t she be disgusted to death?
Ji Yingying was furious. Wasn't Peng Yuedong's intention almost the same as keeping someone as a mistress? She leaned close to Tao Rui and said defensively, "I've thought it through clearly. Wherever my boyfriend goes, I'll go."
Tao Rui cursed the original owner in his heart again. He thought the scumbag had acted so well before the apocalypse, causing Ji Yingying to still trust him completely. However, he had come through in time, so he would never send Ji Yingying away.
Tao Rui pulled Ji Yingying into his arms, his attitude very clear. Peng Yuedong was unwilling to snatch her away in public, but in his heart he was planning to kill Tao Rui and "rescue" Ji Yingying. Wouldn't he, the savior, be the most reliable person for Ji Yingying?
The boss stopped stopping people, and the others automatically made way and let them go.
When Tao Rui approached a mother and son, he asked the mother, "Will you come with us? You should know that if you stay here, you'll eventually run into the same situation I faced today. Leaving at least offers a glimmer of hope."
The mother hugged her ten-year-old son next to her, lowered her head and did not look at Peng Yuedong. She knew that those strong people regarded them as a burden. They were very impatient when distributing food to them these days and only gave her the least and worst food.
She had tried her best to go out and kill zombies, but she was not treated fairly. Perhaps it was because she had exposed Liang Yurou for taking extra food when they first met, and she was hated by her.
She was terrified every time she went out, afraid that something terrible would happen to her son if she didn't return. Trying her best, it felt increasingly difficult, and she gradually became desperate. Now that Tao Rui asked her this, she felt a little moved.
She looked up at Tao Rui and was stunned for a moment. She felt that Tao Rui's eyes were particularly sincere. It was just... different from the others. It was as if he was sincerely inviting them to be partners, not just colleagues.
She didn't hesitate much and nodded quickly, "Okay, we'll go with you."
This time, no one tried to stop her. Even if they thought she was crazy, they didn't care if they left. After all, children meant trouble and vulnerability in the apocalypse, and they were a burden in everyone's eyes. With a few less people, they would have more food to share.
Tao Rui looked around and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to go with us?"
He waited for half a minute, and when no one spoke, he took Ji Yingying and left, with the mother and son following closely behind them.
As soon as the little boy went out, he saw the dead zombies on the street and trembled with fear, his face turned pale. However, he held his mother's arms tightly and did not make a sound, showing his sensible attitude.
Tao Rui gave the system a command: "Always scan the surroundings and display the map."
[Yes, Brother Rui.]
A translucent virtual screen immediately appeared in front of Tao Rui's left. It showed a map of the surrounding area. The green dot represented the four of them, yellow represented the others, and red represented zombies. There were no zombies around at the moment.
Tao Rui pointed in a direction and whispered, "Let's go find a car over there first, and then go get some breakfast."
The three of them nodded without saying anything, and followed him carefully towards where there were more cars, trying not to make any noise and keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.
[Brother Rui, Dazhuang followed us out.]
[It's okay, he's looking for death.] Tao Rui, who had a rebound to save his life, was fearless.
Tao Rui found three car keys from the dead zombies nearby. Luckily, one of the cars was clean. He immediately asked the three people to get in and searched the other two cars for useful items.
Ji Yingying and the mother and son watched him anxiously from the car windows. Dazhuang secretly lured two zombies over, intending to kill Tao Rui, who was alone. He ducked and ran to hide behind another car, quickly slipping under it as the two zombies rushed towards Tao Rui. Ji Yingying tensed, opened the door, and got out.
Over there, Tao Rui took out the toolbox from the trunk of the car. The two zombies close to him rushed towards him at the same time, bumped into each other, and tripped each other!
Tao Rui took the opportunity to go around the other side of the car, and the two zombies saw Da Zhuang right in front of them under the car, and bit him without thinking!
"Ah--" The scream was inexplicably shrill. Dazhuang's movements were restricted under the car, and he failed to dodge and was really bitten by the zombies. He tried to break free but couldn't. Two zombies grabbed him and crawled under the car. Regardless of the fists he hit him with, they held him tightly.
Tao Rui quickly put the blankets, pillows, toolbox, and tissues he had collected into the car and said, "Yingying, get in the car. Let's go."
Ji Yingying got in the car with him, and they didn't see anyone coming out of the small supermarket when they drove away.
The mother in the back seat shuddered, instantly understanding something. "He... is here to kill us?"
Tao Rui nodded. "In the end times, many people have lost their moral bottom line. A single displeasure can cost someone their life. But we've already escaped, so let's not think about them. The real thing is how to survive."
Tao Rui drove towards the city. "We can't just leave the city like this. Gas stations may not have food. We need to stock up on food before we leave."
None of the three objected. In times like this, when there's a strong individual making decisions, the others will subconsciously follow their lead. It was clear that Tao Rui was the leader of the four-person group.
The mother said, "My name is Xia Lin, and my son's name is Zhou Yangyang."
"Sister Xia Lin, don't be too nervous. We will think of a way and we will definitely survive." Ji Yingying turned around and comforted her, but in fact, she was not sure either.
Ji Yingying looked at Tao Rui, then looked at him again and asked softly, "Brother Rui, why are you suddenly...are you going to look for grandpa and grandma?"
"Yeah." Tao Rui was silent for a moment before saying, "I was in a very bad state before. I just felt very desperate. I asked my grandparents to wait for me at home, but I was so useless that I had no ability to save them..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but it was enough for Ji Yingying and Xia Lin to imagine.
The original owner was too weak and in a very bad state before, and had never mentioned going to see his grandparents, so Tao Rui had to find a way to make amends. Fortunately, the original owner didn't act servile, so this statement was reasonable.
A weakling, with a girlfriend, rashly claiming to go out and save people is simply a fantasy. His loss of focus due to despair and self-blame seems perfectly plausible. There are those who suffer mental breakdowns after the apocalypse, so what does this compare to?
When the car reached the city, the zombies started to appear more numerous. Tao Rui drove very fast and stopped at a large supermarket with its doors open.
Ji Yingying's face turned pale. "Brother Rui, there are a lot of zombies in here, and there are also outside."
Tao Rui held her hand and looked at her, "Yingying, I'm going to get something. You drive to the front and turn around and come back to pick me up."
Ji Yingying hurriedly shook her head, "No! How can I let you go in alone? You've never killed a zombie before!"
Xia Lin also said: "I'll go with you. After all, I have killed a few zombies."
Tao Rui put a piece of paper into the space right in front of them. The three of them were shocked. Zhou Yangyang's eyes lit up and said, "Uncle Tao, do you have space abilities? The same as Liang Yurou's?"
Tao Rui smiled. "Yes, I almost died today. I don't know how I activated my supernatural powers, so I can collect a lot of things just by running around in there. As long as I don't get hit by zombies and run out quickly, it's fine. This is the safest way. Don't say anything more, just do as I say."
Tao Rui grabbed a crowbar, opened the door, and quickly rushed into the supermarket. Ji Yingying didn't hesitate and immediately moved to the driver's seat and drove out. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry. She knew crying was useless at this moment; she had to drive the car to pick up Tao Rui.
Tao Rui was in no danger once he entered the supermarket, as any zombies trying to bite him would stumble, falling or being grabbed by other zombies, ultimately preventing him from reaching them. Of course, he still wielded his crowbar, killing as many as he could. If someone saw him somewhere, it wouldn't be surprising. Meanwhile, he skillfully tucked away the shelves, one by one, into the space.
The space is still empty, and having shelves would make it easier to organize and store more goods.
He put the freezer and fresh food directly into the anti-fresh basement without even checking whether the food was spoiled or not. Anyway, if it was spoiled, it would not affect other things, so he could just pick it out and throw it away when he had time.
Tao Rui walked through the area, dumping all the food he could find, like instant noodles, bread, dried noodles, beef jerky, and other things, as well as rice, flour, grains, oil, and various seasonings. He picked up some snacks from the snack area as he passed by, then quickly ran to the clothing area and collected a lot of clothes, shoes, backpacks, and other things, as well as pillows, quilts, paper, garbage bags, and pots and pans.
They had nothing, so they collected almost everything they saw. They collected the most food, and took a little of everything else.
By the time he ran back to the door, there were already a lot of things in the space.
Tao Rui asked the system to watch the car, and then killed some zombies near the door and dug out more than a dozen crystal cores. When he saw the car, he ran out and got in.
Ji Yingying's heart finally settled. She quickly glanced at Tao Rui and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No." Tao Rui wiped his sweat. He was sweating all over after running for so long. His body was really weak.
Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Zhou Yangyang leaned back on the seat expectantly and asked, "Uncle Tao, what did you get?"
"I don't know. I didn't dare to look. There were so many zombies. Let me take a look." Tao Rui closed his eyes, panting as he sorted out the things in the space. No one dared to disturb him. This was their first time to come into such close contact with a superpowered person, and they were afraid of disturbing him.
Everything in the space moved with Tao Rui's thoughts. Tao Rui first made a simple classification and said, "I've taken things from almost every section of the supermarket, from food and drink to clothing and daily necessities. This should be enough to last me for a few days. I'll find another opportunity to collect more later."
He took out a small carton of milk and a few bags of biscuits. "Eat some first to fill your stomach. When we find a place to stay tonight, we'll find a way to get something hot to eat."
Such a small amount of food was a feast for the few people who had never been full. There was a bit of disbelief on their faces. Zhou Yangyang touched the milk box carefully and put it back immediately, then looked at Tao Rui with a little fear.
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry about eating. We are a small team now, and we will all contribute from now on. I still have food here. We can only survive if we are full. Don't be stingy, eat quickly."
Xia Lin took out a carton of milk for Zhou Yangyang to drink. Seeing the child's happy expression, tears suddenly flowed down her face. She said gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you, Dr. Tao. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will work hard to fight zombies and find supplies. Thank you for taking us with you."
Tao Rui waved his hand, saw a pharmacy, and ran in to get a lot of medicine using the same method. The original owner was a doctor. He now had a lot of medical knowledge in his head and could treat many diseases, but a good cook cannot cook without rice. He needed medicine injections.
There are the most pharmacies in the city, and it is not convenient for them to go to the hospital now, so Tao Rui just found a few pharmacies to get medicine, then changed seats with Ji Yingying, let Ji Yingying eat and rest, and he drove out of the city.
As darkness gradually fell, they didn't have much time to find a place to stay. Tao Rui drove all the way to a less crowded suburban villa. Firstly, there were fewer zombies there, and secondly, if there was a villa with no owner, there would be many household items, cars, generators, and other things found there.
Now he is not afraid of zombies, but the rebound function is too incredible and cannot be known to others. If he can move in and out of places where there are many zombies without any harm, it is too unusual and he will be discovered sooner or later.
Besides, he is the only one who will not be injured, but the three people he brings may still be injured by zombies. For the time being, safety is the most important thing. Let's put off collecting supplies for a while, as many things can no longer be collected in the city.
Some of the villas in the area looked like they were inhabited. Tao Rui had a system to help him scan and quickly found a villa whose owner had turned into a zombie.
He parked the car outside, climbed over the wall into the villa, and with the help of the system, quickly found the switch buttons everywhere, opened the gate, drove the car into the yard, and then locked the gate again.
After several people got off the car, he walked in front with a crowbar and urged them, "Walk slowly and be careful. I'll go in and take a look first."
Ji Yingying said worriedly, "I'll go with you."
Tao Rui shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm sure."
He climbed in through an open window, found the location of the two zombies and quickly dealt with them, then opened the door and let the three people in.
