Chapter 7



It wasn't that Chen Wan was impulsive. There was no sound from the side where he had just thrown the sand sculpture sunflower. The thing should have been crushed by the group of zombies. Suddenly, a shrill DJ song sounded in the empty supermarket. Chen Wan had never heard of it before. It should be a popular song from the planet R2.

Without stopping any longer, she quickly jumped from the shelf to the ground, and at the same time ran madly towards the passage leading to the garage on the other side. The zombies were piled up in the west passage where sand sculptures and toys were thrown, so there were no zombies in the east passage.

Chen Wan didn't dare to delay at all and walked quickly towards the truck. At the same time, he quickly glanced at the cars around him, picked up the handle of the narrow knife in his hand, smashed the glass of the cab next to him, and opened the car door.

The special forces' previous training included these emergency response measures. Even without the key, Chen Wan knew how to start the car. The sound of her breaking the glass was not small, but fortunately the zombies had been attracted by the deafening music in the supermarket and noticed that there were not many zombies on her side. Moreover, the sound of her knocking on the glass was only for a moment, and the noise was not as loud as in the supermarket.

Chen Wan calmed himself, connected the wires in the car, started the engine, and stepped on the accelerator until the front of the car gently touched the body of the truck.

This time the noise was a bit loud, but fortunately the low-level zombies had limited intelligence and were attracted by all the noise in the supermarket. They would not be able to react for a while. Chen Wan did not dare to relax and drove three more cars closer to the truck.

Just as the last car approached the truck, the mechanical voice in Chen Wan's mind sounded again: "The basic equipment for the RV synthesis is ready. Now start the RV fusion. The estimated time is 5 hours. Now start executing the system command."

At the same time as the system gave the order, the truck and the four mobility scooters formed a distinct barrier with everything around them. Chen Wan tried to move forward, but found that he could not enter the barrier.

The system saw Chen Wan's confusion and explained, "When you first fuse a vehicle, a protective barrier will be formed around it. This will not happen with subsequent upgrades. The host can sit in the RV and wait for the upgrade to complete."

After listening to the system's explanation, Chen Wan felt a little relieved. However, before she could relax, she heard the faint sound of chaotic footsteps at the entrances on the east and west sides. Chen Wan's heart tightened. It must be the noise she made when she started the car. She quickly stepped back and hid on the side of a private car, quietly observing the movements of the zombies.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, about a dozen zombies walked slowly towards the place where the car had just started. They couldn't find the sound.

The source of the evil began to move around aimlessly in the basement. Fortunately, there were not many of them, so Chen Wan planned to wait and see.

She was really tired at this moment, and sat on the ground to rest quietly. The high mental tension all night made her exhausted, and coupled with her weak body, her shoulder, which had just been pinched by the male zombie, was still aching slightly. But Chen Wan did not dare to relax. She still needed to stay highly tense in the next five hours.

At the same time, even Jiang Yanxin and Chen Yang on the fourth floor heard the movement downstairs. The building was already empty, and the sudden harsh music broke the silence like the howl of a wild beast. Not only were the zombies in the basement attracted to the supermarket, but all the zombies in the entire building were walking towards the supermarket at once.

Jiang Yanxin's heart was beating faster and faster. There were only three of them in the whole building. Jiang Yanxin knew that the noise downstairs was caused by Chen Wan. She tightened the axe in her hand and hoped that Chen Wan would really come back to take her and the baby away. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder if Chen Wan would go back to Zhang Qiang and betray her again. After all, it was not the first time that Chen Wan had been betrayed.

But subconsciously, she felt that the current Chen Wan was not the same person as the previous Chen Wan. Countless thoughts accumulated in Jiang Yanxin's mind. She gripped the axe tightly in her hand, still feeling that she could not sit and wait for death. She had to at least fight for some chance of survival for herself and her cub.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yanxin packed some food and water from the ground and put it in her coat, tied it up, and used it as a temporary backpack. Then she whispered to her son, "Yangyang, while there's a lot of noise outside, let's go to another place."

The baby showed a puzzled look. Mommy had just asked them to wait here. The baby also asked his own question, "Mom, didn't Mommy ask us to wait for her?"

Jiang Yanxin touched her daughter's little head, feeling a little sad. If such a lovely daughter were placed in an orderly world, she would definitely be spoiled like a little princess, crying and laughing, and throwing tantrums from time to time. But her daughter now was so sensible, which made her feel sad.

This kind of life has just begun. Jiang Yanxin doesn't know when it will end, let alone when she and her daughter will disappear silently in the apocalypse. But she can't afford to hesitate too much now. She needs to find a safe shop on this floor to hide, so that if Chen Wan comes back with Zhang Qiang's people, she will not be unaware.

If she hid somewhere else on this floor, if Chen Wan really came back by himself and wanted to take her and Zizi away, she would not miss Chen Wan.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yanxin whispered to Zizi: "This

It’s not safe here, let’s find a safer place to wait for your mommy to come back.”

The baby nodded obediently. Jiang Yanxin took the things and led the baby towards the door. When they arrived at the door of the store, Jiang Yanxin carefully moved the chair away, trying not to make any noise.

She had lived in the apocalypse for several months and knew that zombies were sensitive to sound. The noise downstairs was so loud that the zombies on this floor should have been attracted downstairs.

Jiang Yanxin picked up her son and walked quickly forward, finding a grilled fish shop diagonally opposite the snack shop. She carefully knocked on the glass door a few times to make some noise, then nervously took her son's hand and took a few steps back. The shop was dead silent.

Jiang Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief, tied the bundle of her coat around her waist, held the axe tightly in one hand, and gently pushed open the door of the grilled fish shop with the other hand. She was afraid of bumping into Zizi, so she had to hold Zizi in her arms, carefully closed the door and walked in.

Fortunately, when she walked to the innermost window, there was still no movement in the store. Jiang Yanxin told her son to sit quietly in the open space by the window. She went back to the door of the store and took a few chairs to push against the door.

Just after she finished dealing with the matters at the store door, she hurriedly turned back with an axe to look for Zaizai, but saw a crooked shadow limping towards her.

Jiang Yanxin gritted her teeth to keep from screaming. The zombie's neck was cut in half, with a small part of the cervical vertebrae not severed. The head that had not fallen off was hanging there, forming a strange arc. A large piece of flesh on the left leg had already rotted away, emitting a foul stench.

Jiang Yanxin warned herself to stay calm, otherwise if something happened to her, there would be no one to take care of the baby. She recalled how Chen Wan fought zombies several times today, and her hands trembled as she raised the axe in her hand.

The zombie was moving so fast that Jiang Yanxin broke out in a cold sweat. She felt that if she didn't take action, she might not even have the courage to hold the axe. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the zombie with the axe in hand.

She used all her strength to swing the axe and chop at the zombie's half-broken spine, but unfortunately, this blow did not successfully cut the zombie's spine.

The smelly short male zombie stretched out his arm covered with rotten flesh towards Jiang Yanxin. Jiang Yanxin took a deep breath and desperately pulled out the axe that was chopping off the zombie's spine. Then he chopped at the zombie's spine like crazy along the wound left by the chop. After three more hits, the zombie's head rolled to the ground, and the smelly blood splattered all over Jiang Yanxin's face.

The strength in her hand loosened,

She sat down on the ground. This was the first time she killed a zombie since the apocalypse. Before, she and Chen Wan had to hide with their cubs. Jiang Yanxin looked at her hands in disbelief. Even though she was just an Omega, she had done it. She actually killed a zombie.

It was not known whether it was the joy of surviving the disaster, or the realization that she also had the ability to actively kill zombies instead of just sitting there and waiting to die, but Jiang Yanxin's tears rolled down her cheeks. However, she knew that now was not the time to cry, and she could not cry, because she and her daughter had no one to rely on, and she was her daughter's support.

Jiang Yanxin took off her coat and quickly wiped the blood off her face while suppressing her nausea. However, a foul smell still penetrated her nostrils. But she didn't have time to think about it. She wiped the blood off the axe and barely stood up by holding on to the table and chair beside her. Even now, her legs were still weak.

Jiang Yanxin took a deep breath and checked the store again. She had to ensure the absolute safety of the store. Fortunately, when she returned to Zizi, no second zombie appeared in the store. As for the zombie just now, it must have been slow in movement and she ran into it before it could walk to the source of the sound downstairs.

The cub called out cautiously: "Mom~"

Jiang Yanxin was afraid to hug the baby because of the rancid smell on her body. She just reached out and touched the baby's head and covered the baby with a small blanket: "Go to sleep, mommy is here, you will be fine when you wake up."

Zizi looked at her mother worriedly, but finally said nothing. She actually wanted to ask what they would do if her mother didn't come back, but seeing her mother's haggard appearance, Zizi didn't want to ask anymore. Anyway, no matter what, she was happy to be with her mother.

I don't know how much time passed before the DJ music on the radio outside suddenly stopped. "System, how long has it been now?"

"Two and a half hours have passed now, and it will take another two and a half hours for the RV to be integrated." The system's mechanical voice sounded again.

Chen Wan frowned and analyzed calmly. The two newly replaced batteries would not be so durable. The most likely possibility was that these zombies had damaged the radio hanging above the vent in some way.

And just as Chen Wan had imagined, the zombies had no intelligence. Upon hearing the noise, nearly all the zombies in the building rushed towards the supermarket. Those at the back ignored those in front and simply pressed towards the source of the noise. Some of the zombies in front fell to the ground, while others desperately pushed forward. When the front fell, the ones behind stepped on them and continued to reach upwards. In this way, the zombies piled up like a huge pile, and finally grabbed the radio from the top.
