Chapter 57: Leave Her in the Lurch
Yun Huan didn’t look at them, merely glancing at Qin Yi and the rest before saying, “Let’s go.”
Qin Yi nodded and carried her bag, ready to enter.
The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, light flashing in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything.
The supermarket was average sized and quite stocked up, with the added bonus of there not being many zombies.
Lin Qing’s eyes glistened as he looked at the meat in the freezer. The apocalypse had just begun, and although there wasn’t any electricity available, the food hadn’t gone bad yet.
“This,Yiyi, this! I want to eat this! Oh, and that! I want to eat that too!” Chu Mohe’s eyes were sparkling.
Qin Yi was helpless. Around this time every day, she always felt as though she owned a pet store.
Mealtimes were Du Ruan’s favorite time but he seemed a little upset today.
Lin Bai could tell that something was off with Du Ruan. He asked out of concern, “Coconut, what’s wrong?”
Du Ruan pouted unhappily, replying, “Does that bad woman want to snatch Coconut’s food? I don’t like her.”
Lin Bai looked behind him and saw that there was a group of people following them but they were only the ones who they met at the entrance.
When that woman saw that Lin Bai had noticed them, she stepped forward, tightly gripping the hand of the little boy beside her.
The little boy probably felt the pain from her tight grip and immediately struggled. As he struggled, he howled, “Mommy, you’re hurting my hand! Quick, let me go! Daddy, come and save me!”
The little boy’s voice had attracted all the zombies in the supermarket.
Mutilated zombies walked out sluggishly, one after another, their bodies covered in blood and their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
When the little boy saw so many zombies towards him, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, he screamed out in fear.
Zombies didn’t have sight and had to rely on their sense of hearing and smell to catch a person. With such a loud noise aiding them, they immediately pounced in the boy’s direction.
Her son was her darling, she wouldn’t let anything happen to him. The middle-aged woman, Huang Cui, immediately called out to Qin Yi and the others for help, “Quick, save us! Why are you guys just standing there?”
She had witnessed how Qin Yi and the others had killed those zombies. They would definitely be able to save them now, since they were so formidable.
Qin Yi raised her brows and didn’t take any action. Qin Yi knew that the woman kept following them because she was trying to pick up what they had left behind.
The zombies here were all beginner zombies, moving really slowly. They only knew how to pounce on people and grab them, meaning you would be able to kill them if you were careful enough.
The middle-aged man and woman were very tall and strong, but when faced with zombies, neither of them dared to do anything.
One kept begging others for help while the other stood in a corner and didn’t dare to come out, even pushing a lady forward and using her as a shield.
Qin Yi disliked people like them. In her previous life, she was dumb but she had her principles: she tried her best not to drag her teammates down or be a burden.
Furthermore, the strong were respected during the apocalypse, and if you don’t take a step forward, you would always be curled up in a corner waiting for others to rescue you.
In the end, you would either die from hunger or be eaten by zombies. It was impossible to escape death, and even if you did, you would only be lingering on with your last breath for the rest of your life.
Qin Yi had seen too many of these types of people, she even had a shadow in her heart now.
Qin Yi knew that if they saved this middle-aged woman’s family today, they would be dependent on them again tomorrow.
Qin Yi didn’t make a move and neither did Yun Huan.
When Huang Cui saw that this group of people wasn’t going to save her family, she was enraged. Disregarding the zombies around her, she began hurling all kinds of abuse at Qin Yi and the others.
“Are you guys blind?! Don’t you know how to come and save us? You’re happy to watch us die, huh? Is that it? You’re so evil at such a young age! You guys are degenerates! Your parents are probably horrible too!”
