Chapter 10. Doomsday Supermarket (9)

     Wang Xue bounced out like a spring towards the escalator entrance. Not long after, she flew back like a gust of wind, with a serious expression.

     “Fuck, the zombies have really evolved.”

     Ye Mo drew a floor plan of the supermarket with a black pen and said, “If the zombies learn to climb stairs, then the empty third floor will become a Shura field where the zombies on the second and fourth floors will join forces to kill each other.”

     Wang Xue understood immediately:

     “We need a closed space.”

     “Fourth floor.” X2.

     The two said in unison.

     It was now wishful thinking to get out of the first floor. It was too late to go to the warehouse on the second floor. There was only one way to go now – the fourth floor.

     The small closed space on the fourth floor.

     They were like unlucky people who fell into the sea. They could not find floating planks. The possibility of drowning was very high. Now they had to give it a try to have a chance to survive.

     Wang Xue sighed: “If I had known, no matter how troublesome it was before, we would have killed more zombies to get to the fourth floor.”

     Ye Mo did not answer this question. What difference would it make if they knew it earlier? With their strength at that time, if they fought their way to the fourth floor, their survival rate might be less than 50%.

     The floor plan was quickly completed, and a red watercolor pen was used to mark the names of the shops.

     Wang Xue then realized, “Sister Jing, this picture you drew is really standard.”

     “The overall venue is a square, with a KTV on the east side, and the children’s playground area on the south side. Other shops are distributed in the west and north, and there is also a deadly indoor skating rink in the middle.” Ye Mo changed to a green watercolor pen and pointed at the children’s playground area, “To get to the fourth floor, the first level we must pass is the children’s playground area.”

     The pen was thrown aside:

     “Cooperation?”

     Wang Xue: “Of course.”

     The companion cooperation agreement came into effect for the second time. 

 

…

 

     No matter what other people are going to do after knowing the evolution of zombies, while the zombies have not evolved to a terrifying level, Ye Mo and Wang Xue took the lead in starting the first stage of cautious exploration on the fourth floor.

     Maybe because of the previous night’s clearing of a wave of zombies, there are no zombies at the escalator entrance on the fourth floor, and no zombies have fallen from the escalator.

     The simple box wall on the north side was redesigned, and Ye Mo easily moved the movable heavy shelves and reinforced them.

     To prevent zombies from falling and directly injuring people, until the new removable wall was built.

     “The doll dances with the little bear, dancing and dancing, one, two, one. They are dancing in a circle, dancing and dancing, one, two, one, and the little bear nods, nods, one, two, one.”

     The battery-powered toy teddy bear played a whole music, which was very inconsistent with the scene of losing money.

     “Bang!”

     “Boom!”

     “Crack!”

     Standing at a distance, the two people were outside the safety wall. When they saw a zombie rolling down, they would smash it hard until it fell down.

     Anything that was a little heavy and not soft became their weapon.

     When they met a small zombie that was already disabled, Ye Mo could smash the zombie to pieces and blow its head off in two or three hits. For other zombies, when the position was accurate, there were very few direct kills.

     Swish, swish, swish! Ye Mo flew out three bottles of skin care products in glass jars in succession,

     “Cool, Xiaoli Feidao^[1]The Little Li Flying Dagger (小李飛刀; xiáolǐ fēidāo),The Xiaoli Feidao series is a series of five wuxia novels by Gu Long. First published between 1968 and 1981, the five novels have since … Continue reading, no beard or hair!”

     Wang Xue was really envious.

     She had no problem knocking down the zombie, but to blow its head off in one go, she would spend more energy and strength than that.

     If she focused on this, she would easily exhaust her strength, which was not worth the loss.

     “You can do it after you upgrade.”

     Ye Mo thought it was because she still had weapons. There weren’t that many shot put balls in the sports goods area. It was a low-probability event to shoot zombies in the head with flying throws, and no more than two or three out of ten hits.

     Wang Xue: ‘…Is this a low-probability event?’

     When all the zombies attracted by the music just now fell down, one of them guarded and the other hunted, taking turns to shoot the zombies in the head.

     This process is very simple to describe.

     However, due to the large number of zombies in the small space, the danger and difficulty were not small, so extreme caution was required, and it naturally took a lot of time.

 

…

 

     Ignoring the eyes of others, the two rested for a while and repeated the above actions.

     “Beyond the mountain, beyond the sea, there is a group of Smurfs. They are lively and smart, naughty and clever. They live freely in the green forest. They are kind, brave and care about each other.”

     Wang Xue smashed the zombies while humming through the mask: “Oh, lovely Smurfs, oh, lovely Smurfs, they worked together to use their brains and defeated Gargamel. They sang and danced happily!”

     “Lovely Smurfs!”

     Ye Mo, who did not show it on her face but was neat in her movements, could not help but hum along in her heart. Fortunately, she did not sing out loud, “Oh, lovely Smurfs, &%*&&÷@’s Gargamel!”

     This song is poisonous. ……

   【Open side quest 8: Hunt zombies (1/500)】

 

     From day to night, Ye Mo and Wang Xue were working hard to kill zombies.

     They took four or five breaks, drank two bottles of mineral water, and ate three times. They had no appetite at all, but they had to force themselves to replenish their nutrition.

     The two of them continued to get stronger in the battle.

 

…

 

     The next morning.

     Ye Mo was not awakened by Wang Xue, but by the discussions of others on the third floor.

     On the seventh day, the zombies evolved again.

     They strengthened not only their speed, nails, body, smell and hearing. More and more zombies gathered at the escalator from the second floor to the third floor, and the effect of vinegar became less and less.

     Zombies have not learned to walk on stairs yet.

     But they will step on the fallen zombies. The zombies piled up at half the height of the escalator on the second floor, and each of them stretched purple-black nails upwards.

     The people on the second floor became more and more panicked.

     Some people chose to cover their ears and steal the bell, thinking that if they didn’t watch, the zombies would not evolve; some people chose to be sad and cry 24 hours a day; some people committed suicide; some people went crazy; some people were fighting and cursing; some people smashed the second floor, but the effect was not good…

     Ye Mo and Wang Xue came to the escalator on the south side of the third floor.

     The zombies that were almost cleaned up have increased again, and there is no need to play the sound Music now, every once in a while, there are zombies rolling down from the fourth floor.

     Faced with the seemingly endless zombies, Wang Xue’s face showed confusion and fear of the unknown.

     “Sister Jing, can we kill them all?”

     Ye Mo answered without hesitation, her voice was very firm, both answering Wang Xue and telling herself: “Of course!”

 

   【Survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical value of mental power, mental attribute points +1】

 

     When Ye Mo was very young, Grandma Ye told her granddaughter the anthropomorphic story of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly more than once in front of the butterflies in the courtyard.

     When she grew up, in the process of learning and working, no matter what difficulties she encountered, Ye Mo chose to face them bravely, not give up, and not fall behind.

     Until success.

     Emphasizing again:

     “Of course!”

     A series of system prompts, Ye Mo’s pupils shrank suddenly.
