The rigidity came without warning.
Where Luo Xiaole's gaze had just fallen, she had not detected the slightest trace of a zombie appearing.
So what was this rigidity all about?
Luo Xiaole's mind went blank for a moment!
But the numb and aching body prevented her from making any expression.
At this moment, she could only watch helplessly as others, faces alight with excitement, rushed towards the supermarket entrance!
Luo Shu had already swung his small arm, preparing to follow them into the supermarket, but as he turned his head, he saw the person beside him standing motionless, staring at the supermarket entrance as if deep in thought.
???
"Xiaole? What's wrong? This supermarket is so quiet, is there a problem?" Luo Shu's round face was full of curiosity. He always felt that although Luo Xiaole looked thin and small, she was actually a person with her own thoughts.
Luo Xiaole did not speak, nor did she move.
Luo Shu scratched his head, unable to rush forward abandoning his companion.
Luo Xiaole's dazed expression clearly indicated she had seen something dangerous inside!
It was better not to be reckless.
"Hurry up everyone, it looks empty inside, we'll definitely get this batch of supplies!"
"Don't push, don't push! What are you pushing for from behind? First come, first served, understand?"
"Go to hell with first come, first served! Whoever gets in first gets it!"
In the face of supplies, all order and human greed were exposed.
Luo Xiaole's body remained still, but anxiety and fear surged in her heart, her mind racing.
Her previous condition was that she would stiffen when encountering zombies, but now nothing had happened, and this was the first time she had experienced something like this!
Luo Xiaole's anger flared, and she suddenly remembered a few words the system had explained.
"As long as... danger... rigidity..." she suddenly realized.
This meant that although rigidity was dangerous for her, perhaps it could be seen as an... automatic danger warning system?
Luo Xiaole felt both shocked and delighted at this moment.
Then her heart sank sharply.
Rigidity activating now meant that her current position was a place she could not handle, a place full of danger!
She immediately looked around with her peripheral vision, alert.
Only the crowd that kept pushing her forward.
And... a fleeting white figure that flashed by, moving to her front-left, exuding an aura of remoteness and an air of "keep away"...
Mo Chen!
Why him again!
"Ah... don't push me... my foot is being stepped on, it hurts so much! Can you give me a hand?" A girl next to Mo Chen was pushed by the fierce crowd, losing her balance. She was now looking at Mo Chen with pleading eyes, her expression pitiful.
Then Luo Xiaole shifted her gaze and saw that in the densely packed crowd, Mo Chen still had enough energy to twist his waist and move to the side...
Making a large step aside?
The gap was instantly filled by the crowd surging forward from behind.
The girl was still struggling in the crowd, but Mo Chen was instantly two meters away from her.
And he looked as if saying, don't bother me.
Luo Xiaole was stunned.
Mo Chen was truly as his companions said, unwilling to meddle in other people's business!
Five minutes passed agonizingly slowly in this torment.
Luo Xiaole was constantly pushed by the crowd towards the supermarket entrance.
At this moment, she could already see the cold glass doors of the supermarket.
The dark night, accompanied by the bleak wind, filled the entire supermarket with a terrifying silence.
At this moment, someone in front, I don't know who, turned on their phone's flashlight. The weak light, in the dark night, shone directly into the supermarket.
Luo Xiaole, caught off guard by the scene inside the supermarket, her pupils instantly dilated.
She grabbed Luo Shu's sleeve and turned to run!
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong Xiaole, we haven't got the stuff yet?" Luo Shu's eyes widened in alarm.
Something was wrong inside the supermarket!
Luo Xiaole hadn't completely seen the situation inside the supermarket.
But the rigidity told her that there was definitely a problem inside.
Plus, when their flashlight had shone into the supermarket just now, she remembered that the first row of shelves held glass products, but why was there no reflection at all?
Unless something else was blocking the shelves.
But whether that thing was a person or a zombie, she had no time to judge.
She couldn't wait for the rigidity to strike again, she had to retreat!
"Inside... this... is..." The people at the very front had already rushed into the supermarket, but at this moment they trembled and let out desperate cries.
"Zom... zombies... full of zombies..."
"He... they moved...!"
"Run... run fast! Retreat!"
Countless terrified screams came from behind. Hearing this, Luo Shu looked at Luo Xiaole with disbelief.
"Xiaole? Your eyesight is that good? Or are you a fortune teller?"
"Hoo... don't... don't ask, run!"
The crowd behind, which had surged in like a tide, now rushed back with even greater ferocity.
Except that behind them were countless despairing shouts.
Those who ran slowly were pounced upon by the black and green zombies chasing out of the supermarket, blending into the darkness, and were gnawed upon.
Their intestines were even ripped out in an instant.
In an instant, the area in front of the supermarket became a living hell, like demons roaring, countless souls torn to shreds in an instant.
Luo Xiaole ran stumbling.
Her physical strength was terrible, and now she was gradually losing strength in her mad dash, her vision blurring.
Countless people, in a desperate attempt to escape, crashed into her with immense force.
She and Luo Shu were instantly separated.
Several people beside them were even maliciously knocked to the ground by others, just to delay the zombies' advance.
Luo Xiaole felt like she was about to be the next one knocked down, she had no strength left.
As expected, the people who had knocked others down, seeing her slender build, intended to ram into her again with their shoulders!
Luo Xiaole could even feel the gust of wind from their movements!
But in the next second, her right hand was suddenly pulled by someone with a clever move.
She was taken in an extremely tricky half-circle through a gap in the crowd, narrowly dodging the vicious attack from the side.
Then her hand was gently held, and someone was quietly leading her through the crowd.
The warm body temperature instantly transmitted through her palm.
She was stunned.
The person's hand was even warmer than an ordinary person's, inexplicably carrying a comforting warmth that made her heart feel instantly more stable.
She was already small and frail, and now she was afraid of tripping over other corpses on the ground.
She could only carefully weave around the obstacles on the ground, staggering forward following the person's moderate strength.
With him leading the way, the chaotic scene seemed to become much easier!
Before long, Luo Xiaole saw the open unit door!
Luo Shu had already reached the door and was frantically looking around.
Standing beside him was Wang Hao, who had been swept away by the crowd at the beginning!
When Luo Shu saw Luo Xiaole appear, his eyes lit up. He stomped his foot in relief and shouted, "Xiaole! Hurry, over here!"
The ground at the entrance of the unit was very flat, so Luo Xiaole no longer had to look at the ground and could finally look up to see who her "savior" was!
Before she could even say "thank you," she felt her hand being quickly released.
Then a slender figure seemed to just dodge left and right, instantly disappearing into the crowd.
The warmth in her hand just now seemed to have been her illusion.
Luo Xiaole was astonished.
Who was this divine being, doing good deeds without leaving a name...
With no time to think, Luo Xiaole panted, her thin legs carrying her, and finally took a step into the unit door!
...
Perhaps it was a brush with death.
Heaven bless them.
As they ascended to the fifth floor, they did not encounter a single zombie.
Luo Xiaole's rigidity was also not triggered.
There were only one or two zombie corpses lying occasionally on the stairs.
Their heads had been cut off by a sharp weapon, the cross-section extremely smooth, and now they lay neatly beside the corpses.
Luo Xiaole had a feeling that it was as if someone had already cleared the way...
"Wow, we're really lucky to be alive, we almost died there!" Reaching the fifth floor, Luo Shu let out a long sigh of relief, wiping sweat as he said.
Luo Xiaole did not respond again.
Wang Hao beside him gasped.
He pointed to Luo Shu's head.
"Luo Shu! You... next to you!"
