Chapter 8: Stockpiling Goods

rd their master's courtyard. When they pushed open the last door, a massive wave of demonic energy surged towards them.Ripples raised her hand and flung the evil weapon dagger out. Then, she brought h...The residents on both sides of the alley also noticed the difference tonight. They peeked out from behind their curtains, watching in astonishment as Ripple fought valiantly against the zombies. Their mouths gaped open in shock, but none dared to offer help.

TV, radio and Weibo have all released messages saying this is a viral attack and asking everyone to stay home and not go out. They say they will inform the public once the cause has been determined.

Everyone waited impatiently and fearfully. It was the third day of the apocalypse, and although they still had food at home, it wouldn't last forever. So they looked at Wu Lianyi as if she were a murderous fiend.

Just as Wu Lianyi's waving kitchen knife started to get bent at the edges, she finally reached the comprehensive shopping mall. As expected, the mall doors were closed.

Only the small house on one side of the entrance was destroyed. This row of seven shops selling snacks were built onto the exterior of the first floor.

Wu Lianyi saw another wave of zombies approaching, she inserted her cleaver into her backpack, actually placing it into her spatial storage, then decisively stepped on the isolation block in front of the mall entrance, leaped onto the top of the small shop's counter, and with another bound, she grabbed hold of the window sill of the second-floor floor-to-ceiling glass.

His right foot pressed against the rough wall, then he pushed with a little force, bringing his elbows up to grip the windowsill. He reached behind him and pulled out a serrated kitchen knife, turning it around, and used the blade to smash the glass pane on the floor.

The sound of "thumping" echoed far in the silent night, attracting more attention. Wu Lianyi had excellent hearing, and as she struck the second blow with all her might, she heard a crackle of breaking.

She immediately stopped hitting the glass, moved to a corner of the floor-to-ceiling window, and with all her might, directly threw the serrated knife towards the cracked part. With a crash, the glass shattered completely, falling onto the head of the zombie lingering below, taking out two zombies.

The glass shattered, Wu Lianyi immediately hooked her left foot on the windowsill, then slowly lowered herself inside.

Suddenly, a pallid face appeared before Ripples. The stench of decay that clung to him was the same she had smelled after shattering the glass. This middle-aged man wore a security uniform, clearly someone who stayed on night watch. After turning into a zombie, he had been wandering around here, definitely hadn't eaten anything.

Lian Yi felt a chill as the other's fangs neared her neck. She used her left foot and right hand to fix herself on the window sill, then gripped the other's throat with her left hand. With a deft movement, she yanked the opponent out and flung them into the throng of zombies still wandering below.

With a thud, the security guard zombie smashed down four or five reaching zombies. After completing his mission, he was utterly extinguished.

Ripple then slipped into the shopping mall and dragged over two sections of counter from the side, plugging up the broken glass. She didn't immediately start looting, but instead listened intently for a while to make sure there were no other zombies or people around before she began her actions.

First, they went to the large supermarket on the underground floor. Everything here was complete and all daily necessities, Wu Lianyi didn't be polite, directly with shelves of goods into the space, these things row upon row placed in the black area.

The produce section, the meat section, the grocery section, the liquor section, and the daily necessities section, wherever her eyes landed, she swept them all up. Then she went to the first floor, where there were gold and silver jewelry and high-end cosmetics, which she also swept away.

Then came the second floor's women's clothing area. Even though it was summer, Lian Yi didn't hesitate and collected everything. She also visited the third floor for luggage, the fourth floor for men's clothing, the fifth floor for appliances, the sixth floor for home goods, the seventh floor for sports items, and the eighth floor for food, leaving no floor untouched.

Most importantly, in the corner office of the member center on the seventh floor, she saw a decorative long sword hanging on the wall. The moment she drew the sword from its scabbard, a genuine and heartfelt smile appeared on her face.

This is her natal sword, it also came to this apocalypse with her. This was something she fought tooth and nail with those black suits for, a benefit she secured for herself. It's the only physical item allowed into the task world.

"Lei Yao (yao), old friend, it's good to see you again!"

A ripple smiled, pulling a sword flower gracefully. The blade flashed with a cold light, as if echoing her words. With a slight chime, the sword sang, foretelling its good humor.

Wu Lianyi felt that all the supplies in this entire building were inferior to her sword. This was a weapon perfectly aligned with her spiritual roots, far more effective than any ordinary kitchen knife.

Consciousness sunk into the space, finding that the black space had already been filled halfway. With these things as a base, she felt much more at ease. She didn't plan to take anything from the warehouse and would leave it for people nearby. After all, one shouldn't be too ruthless in everything.

Next, she wanted to get some more weapons, and also a vehicle. The underground parking garage of the shopping mall should have one.

Decisively acting, Lian'er grasped the sword in her hand and descended the stairs step by step. By the time she reached the underground parking lot, she heard the distinctive "huff" sound of zombies, along with a woman's harsh scolding and a man's cry of alarm.

Ripples immediately grasped the sword in her hand and, following the sound, silently crept forward.

Just then, I saw a man and a woman being surrounded by zombies. The woman was in front, waving a wooden stick, while the man was hiding behind her, constantly screaming, which only made the zombies chase them even more fiercely.

Wu Lianyi's mouth twitched. Yin Sheng Yang Xie really wasn't just talk.

She couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she drew out Lei Yao and charged forward. With a graceful slide, she chopped off the heads of two zombies from behind. She became a target herself, immediately surrounded by three zombies. In just a few moves, she dispatched the three creatures. As she did, she saw the woman across from her fiercely thrusting a wooden club into the head of a zombie.

However, the claw of another zombie was about to grab the woman's arm. The man hiding behind her cried out in alarm, grabbed the woman's waist, and with a flash of his figure, they were already ten meters away, avoiding the zombie's attack perfectly.

"Speed Demon!"

Wu Lianyi originally wanted to eliminate the crisis before these two people attracted more zombies, and then find a vehicle. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

The two managed to dodge the last zombie's claws, but the creature, now without a target, charged towards Ripple.

"

You

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Before the woman could speak, Lian Ri's backhanded sword stroke cut down the last zombie, silencing her.

The ripples on the obsidian blade didn't even bear a trace of blood. The man and woman facing it looked on with envy. If they had such a powerful weapon, they wouldn't be surrounded by zombies like this.

Ripples swept around, catching sight of a SUV with a higher chassis and half-open car doors. There were traces of blood on the side, indicating that the owner was most likely already a zombie. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over.

And the man and woman seemed to have the same purpose, also walking towards the black SUV.

Ripples raised an eyebrow at the other person, who also seemed to notice the issue.come to propose marriage. And the gift she brought is quite thoughtful as well. I'll have it delivered to you tomorrow.""Sister Hong, you don't need to bring the things here. These were gifts from the...
