"What are you doing?" Jiang Yanxin immediately became anxious when she saw Chen Wan holding the baby. The baby was her biggest motivation to live in this world. If she lost the baby, Jiang Yanxin might have collapsed long ago.
The cub also pouted, tears already streaming from his eyes, but he still tried not to cry out loud, only whimpering softly, "Mommy, please don't throw Yangyang away, okay? Yangyang is a good boy, he doesn't eat a lot, and he's not naughty. Mommy, please don't throw Yangyang to the monster, he's scared~"
After living in such an environment for more than three months, even a child has learned not to shout loudly, as that will attract monsters. The original owner threw the baby away several times, but was stopped by Jiang Yanxin every time. However, it still left a deep psychological trauma on the baby. Therefore, when Chen Wan just picked up the baby, the baby subconsciously thought that Chen Wan was going to throw her away again.
Chen Wan didn't expect the child to be so sensible. She spoke softly to the child, "I'm not throwing you away. You're still young and walking too slowly. Mommy's afraid bad guys will come and take us back. Mommy's holding you so we can walk faster. No more words, we have to get out of here quickly."
Chen Wan was explaining to Zizi, and even more so to Jiang Yanxin who was standing beside her. She had just seen that Jiang Yanxin could no longer hold Zizi, so she quickly picked up Zizi. After all, they had to escape now.
"Let's go." Chen Wan held the baby in his arms, looked at Jiang Yanxin and said.
Jiang Yanxin looked at Chen Wan doubtfully, always feeling that something was particularly wrong with Chen Wan tonight, as if he had become a different person. However, the current situation did not allow her to think too much. She thought that following Chen Wan might give her a glimmer of hope, so she hurried to catch up with Chen Wan.
Fortunately, the zombies in this area had been cleared out once by Zhang Qiang's men, so apart from the zombie just now, Chen Wan and his companions did not encounter a second zombie along the way. More than ten minutes later, Chen Wan and his companions came to a tall building. There were some pre-apocalyptic advertising icons on the building, which were faintly visible under the moonlight. Most of the low buildings near the building had been burned down to only skeletons. There were still a few intact residential buildings, but it was not necessarily safe inside.
There are two options before Chen Wan. One is to find a place to hide outside the building, so that he does not have to go into the building to face unknown risks. However, if he does not go in, he will probably be discovered by Zhang Qiang's men. After all, the distribution outside is not as complicated as in the building, so it is easy to hide. The other way is to enter the building and find a place to hide, but Chen Wan is not sure what is in the building.
Chen Wan thought for a few seconds, she didn't have time to waste
Here, it is obvious that the chances of survival are greater if you enter the building, and you can also see if you can find some survival supplies. Thinking of this, Chen Wan resolutely entered the building.
She and Jiang Yanxin tried their best to keep their footsteps as low as possible. The whole building was dark. Even Jiang Yanxin couldn't help but move closer to Chen Wan and slightly pulled at the corner of Chen Wan's clothes.
Chen Wan turned on the scanning function of the system and carefully observed the movements around him while trying not to make any noise. Chen Wan took Jiang Yanxin up the stairs from the emergency exit to the fourth floor. They still encountered two zombies in the corridor. Fortunately, the system had a scanning function. Chen Wan handed the baby in his arms to Jiang Yanxin and said "hush" softly. Then he turned around and carefully approached the two slow-reacting zombies with an axe.
A little closer to Chen Wan was a female zombie. No one knew what had happened to her, but her neck was twisted to one side with a big wound. She moved very slowly. Chen Wan took advantage of the wound on her neck and chopped her down with an axe. The zombie's head fell to the ground, and her body also collapsed.
However, the movement from Chen Wan's side alarmed the tall male zombie who was wandering near the security door on the fourth floor. The male zombie turned around and approached Chen Wan little by little.
Fortunately, the primary zombies were slow in movement and could not cause much trouble. When Chen Wan went down to the platform between the third and fourth floors, she suddenly kicked the zombie in the chest. However, her current body was so weak that the kick only kicked the male zombie against the wall. Chen Wan took advantage of this opportunity, tightly grasped the handle of the axe with both hands, and chopped down at the male zombie's neck.
But the male zombie in front of him had thick skin and flesh, and Chen Wan only split it in half with one axe. The axe was also stuck in the zombie's spine. Chen Wan tried to pull it out but failed.
The male zombie had now stood up again, stretching out his hand to pounce at Chen Wan. Chen Wan suddenly had an idea and took off his coat, quickly wrapped around the zombie's arm that was stretched out to him, and used all his strength to hold the coat tightly with one hand to prevent the zombie from breaking free. He pressed one foot on the zombie's chest and used his right hand to desperately pull out the axe. Finally, with the help of the force from his legs, Chen Wan pulled the axe from the zombie's neck. The zombie's foul blood splattered everywhere, covering Chen Wan. What was even more fatal was that she was also dodged and fell to the ground.
Although the zombies moved slowly, they were very close to Chen Wan. When they saw Chen Wan fall to the ground, the zombies pounced on him.
When Chen Wan reacted, he was already pressed under the zombie. The stench coming from the ground almost made Chen Wan vomit.
The corpse's bloody mouth was already wide open, and it was about to bite Chen Wan's face.
Chen Wan no longer cared about the nausea. She desperately pressed her hands against the zombie's jaw, but the zombie was too strong. Even though Chen Wan had learned a lot of fighting techniques, she was pinned down by the zombie and couldn't use them at all. She was about to give up.
Jiang Yanxin was heartbroken watching Chen Wan wrestling with the zombies. She hated Chen Wan, but if he died, she and her daughter would probably not live long. Jiang Yanxin put the baby in the corner of the stairs on the third floor and whispered, "Yangyang, stay here obediently. Mommy will go help Mommy."
She knew that the child was obedient and sensible, so without further explanation, she picked up a broken wooden stick from the corridor and quickly rushed to the platform between the third and fourth floors.
Seeing that veins were bulging on Chen Wan's arms, Jiang Yanxin knew that if they waited any longer, the three of them would probably die. She immediately raised the wooden stick in her hand and hit the zombie's neck and back fiercely.
It has only been three months since zombies appeared on Planet R2. Fortunately, the zombies now are just early-stage zombies with little intelligence. The male zombie lying on the ground is no exception. His neck was hit, which completely angered him. He slightly loosened his hand that was embedded in Chen Wan's shoulder and slowly stood up.
Of course, Jiang Yanxin also saw the male zombie's actions. She ran up a few steps and looked down at the zombies from above, tightening the wooden stick in her hand. Jiang Yanxin knew very well that the wooden stick in her hand posed no threat to the zombies. If Chen Wan did not take action, her situation would not be optimistic. What's more, her daughter was still in the stairwell on the third floor, which made Jiang Yanxin even more anxious.
Chen Wan was almost bitten by the male zombie just now. At this moment, her body was covered with a fishy smell, which was extremely unpleasant. Her shoulders were also painful from being gripped by the zombie, but she did not have much time to think, because the male zombie was already slowly walking towards the stairs, and not far above the stairs, Jiang Yanxin was standing there.
Chen Wan picked up the axe, ran a few steps, and jumped up with the help of inertia. She pressed the zombie's back with her legs. At the same time, while the zombie had no time to react, Chen Wan swung the axe in her hand and chopped the zombie's spine with all her might. After four hits, the zombie under her legs stopped struggling.
Chen Wan's body was splattered with stinking blood, to the point where the smell was enough to make her breath choke. She quickly got up from the zombie and whispered to Jiang Yanxin, "It's dead. You go hold the baby. I smell too strong and I'm afraid it will stink the child."
After saying that, Chen Wan frowned and went downstairs first.
Jiang Yanxin was waiting on the small platform.
Jiang Yanxin was still in shock. The reason they had survived for more than three months in the apocalypse was that they had been hiding most of the time and running away when they encountered zombies. This was her first time fighting a zombie and her hands were still shaking. However, there were dangers everywhere here and she never knew when she would encounter zombies again.
Jiang Yanxin didn't dare to delay. She threw away the broken wooden stick in her hand and picked up the baby. However, her arms were still shaking as she held the baby. She and the baby hadn't eaten enough for several days. In order to force her to submit, those people gave them rotten and spoiled food. The fact that she could still hold the baby at this moment was entirely due to her willpower.
Zizi's little face was full of tears, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. Now her mother came to hug her. Zizi lay in her mother's arms and sobbed softly, feeling aggrieved. She had just seen the bad guy pressing her mother under him and trying to eat her. She was scared to death. Although her mother wanted to throw her away several times, she had just hugged her and she didn't want anything to happen to her mother.
The baby nuzzled into Jiang Yanxin's arms, looking at Chen Wan, who was covered in blood under the moonlight on the platform, and asked softly with sobs, "Mommy, why is Mommy covered in blood? Will she die? I don't want Mommy to die~"
"Your mommy is fine. The blood on her body is from monsters. Yangyang is not afraid." Jiang Yanxin comforted the baby and hurried upstairs.
Chen Wan vaguely heard Zizi talking to Jiang Yanxin, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The most urgent thing now was to find a safe place to spend the night.
Chen Wan walked to the fourth floor, quietly opened the fire door of the shopping mall on the fourth floor, stepped in to take a look, and when he saw that everything was fine, he signaled Jiang Yanxin to follow.
The fourth floor of this shopping mall is a food court. Chen Wan looked around vigilantly. After staying in the dark for a long time, he could now see some things clearly. This place is very large, and it is very dangerous to walk in the aisles for a long time. Chen Wan stopped in front of an imported snack shop.
She lowered her voice and said to Jiang Yanxin beside her: "I'll go in and take a look. You wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Yanxin looked at Chen Wan, who was covered in blood, and whispered, "Okay."
Her arms were completely exhausted, so she could only make a hushing gesture to the baby and put him on the ground. Seeing that his mother seemed to be alive, the baby stopped crying and nervously clasped his mother's hand, waiting for his mother.
