Chapter 5. Doomsday Supermarket (4)

     After a two-minute break, Ye Mo stood up and continued walking. She stopped when she passed the clothing, shoes and bags area.

     ParknShop had not yet lost power. The lights were on, but the heating was off. Some customers were wearing hoodies, some were wearing windbreakers, some were wearing knitted sweaters, and some were wearing T-shirts with thin jackets.

     Unlike Hebei Province, the coldest time in Hong Kong SAR in winter is around 5 degrees. On average, the cold period of the year may only be one or two weeks, not more than two months.

     There were a few thick clothes on sale in the clothing area. Ye Mo took two sturdy and dirt-resistant down jackets and glanced at the shoes area. She didn’t take any for the time being. Those high-heeled wedge-heeled shoes were not much better than the ones on her feet.

     Going south, there were fewer and fewer people.

     Whether they were survivors or locals, they saw Ye Mo, who was covered in black blood, and the bench she was holding as a tool for committing crimes, and they all hid from her as if she was a zombie or a murderer.

     “…”

     It was better this way. It saved unnecessary trouble.

…

     Finally, we arrived at the sporting goods area. Ye Mo found her first target in the clearly visible sports goods area – goggles.

     As a person with deep myopia of more than 880 degrees in both eyes, many actions will be timid because of the protective glasses, so it is very important to have an object that can fix the glasses on the face.

     In addition to goggles, there are also gas masks with glasses.

     With this, you can save the mask.

     Without caring about privacy, Ye Mo decisively took off the cumbersome coat on her body and put on a thick down jacket.

     Take all the knee pads and wrist guards. Sports running shoes are more suitable for escaping in the doomsday. Unfortunately, no raincoat or other protective clothing was found.

     It’s hot, but safety is the most important.

     Take a sturdy black sports backpack and a sports watch, turn off the mobile phone with a battery of 83%, and put it into the backpack with food and water of appropriate weight.

     Take some shot put of each kilogram and pile them in the shopping cart, as well as solid balls and baseball bats.

     The blood-stained tools are hung outside the shopping cart, or placed separately in the basket on the cart.

     Being in a position where she could escape from all directions, Ye Mo took out juice and bread from the shopping cart. No matter what, eating something was necessary to replenish the necessary nutrients and water for the human body.

     When she took the first bite, she felt nauseous.

     It was better to drink water. Her throat had been dry for a long time. She ignored this physiological reaction due to high tension.

     Continue to eat. Eat as much as you can. Don’t force your stomach too much.

…

     At this moment, the screams of people on the third floor basically disappeared. The messy supermarket was quieter than usual.

     Regaining her sense, Ye Mo analyzed the current situation.

     For the survivors, there is a chance to survive on each floor. It is not a dead end at the beginning.

     There are exits on the southeast, northwest, and northeast sides of the first floor. Looking out through the window, there is a square below. The survival rate and risk are unknown.

     The second floor has the most people, but there is a warehouse.

     There is enough food and water in the warehouse. There is no worry about food and water. As long as you don’t commit suicide or have other accidents, you can stay at home for three to six months without any physiological problems.

     The survivors are not from this world. They only need to survive for ten days. The warehouse was Ye Mo’s first choice for a short time, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

     Where there are many people, there are many disputes.

     There is a children’s playground at the exit of the escalator on the fourth floor. A large-scale chaos occurred at the beginning. Black blood and red blood mixed together on the escalator, like the bloody scenes in horror movies.

     Thanks to Chuanming Group’s annual workshop safety education videos and pictures, otherwise Ye Mo would not be as calm and rational as she is now.

    After all, there have been real tragedies in the workshop where people were crushed into meat patties by falling objects from high altitude.

     This also caused a sharp drop in the number of people escaping from the fourth floor.

     But there are many isolated small rooms on the fourth floor, there are food and drinks in the KTV, and there are a few milk tea shops and snack stalls. Basic living conditions can be guaranteed without going downstairs.

     Ye Mo is now on the third floor, an intermediate floor, and the risk of escaping up or down is very high.

     There are the fewest people and zombies on this floor, plus there is water and food for survival, so it is temporarily safe, provided that the zombies on this floor must be cleared out, they are bombs for human survival.

     There are too many items that can be borrowed in the supermarket, as long as they are not surrounded, clearing zombies is not a hellish task.

…

     After analyzing the situation, Ye Mo walked to the escalator entrance of the third and fourth floors.

     There is a child zombie that fell from the fourth floor. This child zombie had a broken leg and was limping.

     A disabled zombie = one nth of the side quest = hope of survival.

     Ye Mo observed the surrounding environment, the environment refers to zombies, goods, and other humans of the same species.

     There are no humans in this area for the time being.

    After the environmental measurement is complete, lead the child zombie to the special offer area, easily push it down, and then pick out the largest one of about 7kg from the lead shot and smash it hard on its head.

     Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

     After hitting four times in a row, the system announced,

 

  【Triggered Side Mission 2: Hunting Zombies 1/5】.

 

     The process of killing zombies takes a long time, even though child zombies are not the advanced zombies in various apocalyptic novels. On the contrary, their heads are more fragile than adult zombies.

     Ye Mo was stained with the black blood of zombies again. She looked at the large amount of blood on the escalator and turned away.

     Continue to look for the second zombie.

    Using the same method to lure, when killing the second zombie, the third zombie suddenly appeared.

 

   【Side Mission 2: Hunting Zombies 2/5】

   【Side Mission 2: Hunting Zombies 3/5】

 

     Although both zombies were killed, Ye Mo was also frightened and reminded herself to be cautious again and again.

     There is only one life.

     The noise of Ye Mo killing the zombies was not small, which attracted the attention of the living people in the daily necessities supermarket on the third floor. Some people watched from a distance, some were busy moving to a hiding place, and some stared at her backpack in a daze.

……

     Next, Ye Mo met two zombies with missing arms and legs.

     These two zombies were eaten by other zombies. What surprised and frightened her was that they were actually two survivors. It had only been more than an hour since they came to this world.

     Ye Mo’s short-term memory was okay. She began to consciously exercise it when she was in school. The eyes and hairstyle of this survivor were seen in the system space, 100% confirmed.

     One was Chinese, and the other was Japanese, Korean or North Korean. Forgive her for not being able to distinguish the languages of these countries.

     They must have been alive before entering the dungeon, which once again proved that the zombie virus transmission time was very short.

     “Check the dungeon tasks.”

 

   【Current survivors: 213/300, survival time: 0/10. 】

 

     “There are 213 people left.”

     Not daring to think too much about how those people lost their lives behind the cold numbers, only by constantly becoming stronger can we overcome the psychological fear, and Ye Mo picked up the shot put again.

     Bang!

 

   【Side Quest 2: Hunting Zombies 4/5】

 

     By borrowing the remaining disabled zombie, Ye Mo conducted several comparative experiments to confirm her conjecture.

     Zombies can smell human blood and hear sounds, but they have no vision. Irritating smells such as acetic acid can confuse their sense of smell within a short distance.

     “Quack, quack.”

     Within a limited distance, compared with the sound of the little yellow duck, the zombies chose humans, and their sense of smell is more sensitive than hearing.

     Therefore, Ye Mo sprinkled a lot of vinegar on her body. As long as the movement is light, it can confuse the zombies to a certain extent.

     Bang, bang, bang!

 

   【Complete Side Quest 2: Hunting Zombies 5/5, Strength attribute +1, Agility attribute +1, Constitution attribute +1. 】

 

     The strength of the whole body is restored to full again, but this time there is no breakthrough increase in the mental attribute, and the fatigue has not decreased.

     Ye Mo tried to lift the 7kg, 4kg, and 3kg shot puts, and it was very easy. This feeling of increased strength in a short period of time was very wonderful.

     The only fatal problem is:

     The previous side quest 1 did not bring her very obvious physical changes, but the physical attributes after this quest must include the five senses of vision, smell, and hearing.

     Let’s not talk about smell and hearing.

     In less than half a minute, Ye Mo began to feel dizzy, just because her myopia degree dropped significantly, resulting in a mismatch with glasses, and she had very serious vertigo.

     After taking off the goggles and glasses, it is not difficult to find that her astigmatism has improved, and the visibility is also steadily increasing. It is preliminarily estimated that her myopia is now about 300 to 400 degrees.

     On weekdays, this is a good thing.

     But this myopia still requires glasses, and there is no way to get a new pair of suitable glasses now. Doomsday is really not friendly to myopia.

     “…”
