The shock from the short-haired guy was almost deafening.
"Your sister is so muscular? Why is she hiding in a plushie, and this plushie can actually cut zombies!" The short-haired guy's small eyes held great confusion.
Looking at the noisy short-haired guy, Luo Xiaole felt a buzzing pain in her head.
"My sister is a bit shy, please forgive me, my good sir," Luo Shu, a shrewd individual, smoothed things over quietly.
The short-haired guy was still unwilling to let it go and wanted to speak. Luo Xiaole saw that Mo Chen, who was beside her, finally showed a slight reaction.
With a casual glance, he looked at the short-haired guy.
The short-haired guy immediately shut up, as quiet as a quail.
Luo Xiaole was surprised. This cold-looking man seemed to have some authority.
But the short-haired guy was someone who couldn't control his mouth.
"It's not every day I see something so amazing, so I just asked a couple more questions," he started to whisper to Mo Chen in a voice only Mo Chen could hear after no more than two seconds.
"And aren't you usually someone who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business? You ran faster than a rabbit just now when you saw someone about to be bitten by a zombie. Mo Chen, what are you doing?"
Luo Xiaole couldn't hear what he was saying, she could only watch him furtively whispering something to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen's deep eyes swept over him again. This time, Luo Xiaole seemed to detect a hint of warning in his gaze.
The short-haired guy also sensed this warning. This time, he treated it as a formidable enemy and stayed put, not daring to say another word.
Luo Xiaole found it rather curious.
But she hadn't forgotten the main business.
She sincerely thanked Mo Chen and the others.
Then, she turned and exchanged a look with Luo Shu, and the two of them headed straight for the stairwell where they were supposed to make the delivery.
She really didn't want to experience stiffness three times in one day!
This time, they quickly reached the designated location.
Without looking back, Luo Xiaole placed the items in the stairwell.
"The goods have arrived at the designated location. Please exchange the remaining payment for the goods."
After sending the message, the two of them hid in a nearby corner where others couldn't see them.
Following this, people began to emerge from their homes one after another, cautiously making their way to the stairwell, and taking their respective weapons one by one.
If anyone dared to act sneakily and try to take more weapons, Luo Shu would jump out to resolve the "dispute."
No one was willing to cause conflict at such a dangerous time.
So, before long, Luo Xiaole received a notification on her phone, as she had hoped.
[Your account has received 12000 mall coins, current balance 16000 mall coins]
Great!
She was filled with excitement. The final payment for the enhancements had all arrived!
Immediately after, she and Luo Shu, without looking back and ignoring the pain of her old injuries, rushed back home.
Only then, drenched in sweat, did she finally take off her strawberry bear plushie costume, which had a tear in it.
Today had been too perilous; without this plushie costume, she would have been done for!
...
"Hey everyone, did you get your weapons?"
"Whoa, what are these fruit knives made of? They're too amazing!"
"Brothers, I just decapitated a zombie! It was like slicing a watermelon... so smooth!"
The chat in the group soon began to buzz with activity.
With so many people speaking at once, those who had been observing immediately became more convinced.
So, there really were such powerful weapons in the world!
Some people were also filled with regret, wondering why they hadn't bought these weapons earlier to get a share of the spoils!
"Wait! Look, at the supermarket, there seem to be no zombies anymore?"
Another message in the group caught everyone's attention.
"It's true! Usually, there are so many zombies here, and several people were torn apart by zombies in front of the supermarket just two days ago...
That scene... was too tragic..."
Some people began to vividly describe the tragic scene at the time, sending shivers down the listeners' spines.
"This is a great opportunity!"
"We have such powerful weapons now, and we don't know where the supermarket zombies have gone. Shouldn't we go down and get supplies?" someone in the group enthusiastically suggested.
This statement was like igniting a fire in the group!
"Exactly, I've been out of food for two days, I'm going to get some supplies now!"
"I'm going too, I'll get a few bottles of water. My family members suddenly got sick and it's hard to get medicine."
Luo Xiaole showed the content of the group chat to the other three.
"Or, how about we go too?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up, seemingly craving the supplies in the supermarket.
But Zhu Hui shivered, resolutely stating that she couldn't stand the terrifying zombies and really didn't want to go downstairs.
"But there are only two of us, and we can't carry much. The more people go down now, the more supplies we can bring back," Wang Hao's brow furrowed.
He then looked at Luo Xiaole, "What about you, Xiaole? You can carry some lighter things."
Luo Xiaole hesitated.
But then she thought, opportunities like this don't come twice.
Supplies were always needed, and being able to get more now would provide more security for future survival.
As for the stiffness...
She could provide weapons for two people, temporarily relying on Luo Shu and Wang Hao to be in front and behind her, giving her some buffer time so she wouldn't have to face the zombies directly...
After she shared her idea with the other three, they all considered it and agreed.
The three of them finally made up their minds.
Those zombies might wander back at any moment.
Without delay, the three decided to head to the supermarket immediately!
...
This time, Luo Xiaole had pushpins fastened to herself and kept the plushie bear in the chest pocket closest to her. Even if she suddenly stiffened and couldn't move, she could retrieve the plushie costume immediately for self-preservation after the stiffness passed.
Luo Shu and Wang Hao each slung two large nylon bags they had found at home, preparing to go to the supermarket to "stock up."
Luo Xiaole also slung a light canvas bag.
The three of them moved with great difficulty through the hallway.
Fortunately, they encountered many people who had already obtained weapons and were also planning to go to the supermarket for supplies.
Scattered groups gradually merged, and together they dealt with quite a few zombies.
Finally, as dusk approached, they arrived at the open space in front of the supermarket.
The "open space" at this point could hardly be called open, as it was littered with broken limbs and remains everywhere, and the air was thick with the smell of blood, like being soaked in a bottomless blood pool, sending chills down one's spine.
The crowd couldn't help but gag softly.
Yet, their desire for supplies couldn't be suppressed.
"I sacrificed three brothers to get downstairs! I will get these supplies today!" a burly man declared with determination, looking at the supermarket entrance.
"Me too, my wife... she sacrificed herself to save me," a middle-aged man began to fake-cry.
Luo Xiaole and Luo Shu, standing next to him, felt a chill.
What kind of sacrifice was this? This was selfishness, wasn't it?
It sounded like they had deliberately sacrificed others to satisfy their own craving for supplies.
Sometimes, humans were more terrifying than zombies...
"So we cannot let their sacrifice be in vain. We must get the supplies."
"Exactly!"
The few people continued to boost their own morale shamelessly.
Luo Xiaole looked at them with disdain.
"Charge!" Someone took the lead and ran towards the supermarket.
Seeing this, the others, not to be outdone, also ran wildly in that direction.
They were afraid of falling behind others and having the supplies snatched away.
Luo Xiaole was pushed by the crowd, like a sandwich cookie, shoved forward. It was very much like when she used to rush for the early morning subway to school...
Gradually, she was pushed to the edge of the crowd, and then with a thud, she was pushed aside by someone behind her, falling face-first onto the grass next to her.
Luo Shu, wriggling out of the crowd, pulled her up, "Little sister, how did you get pushed over here? I almost couldn't find you!"
Luo Xiaole chuckled slightly. This Luo Shu seemed to have gotten addicted to playing the sibling game.
"It's okay, the supermarket is so big, there's no way we can take everything. Even if we follow behind them, we'll definitely get supplies," Luo Xiaole said confidently, patting her chest.
Luo Shu raised an eyebrow. It seemed like that was indeed the case.
There was no need to rush!
Unable to find Wang Hao, the two avoided the surge of the crowd and, following the direction of the crowd's movement, arrived at the supermarket entrance.
Just as Luo Xiaole was about to adjust her large nylon bag and rush in.
She suddenly discovered.
She had stiffened again!
