A voice came, a woman's voice.
As the voice fell, Su Ling saw someone walk out from around the corner.
She was a girl with a hime cut, a face as small as a palm, and wearing a black dress.
She held an iron rod and stood at the corner above the stairwell, looking down at Su Ling.
"Did you understand?"
Tilting her head slightly, the girl looked at Su Ling, her eyes coveting the Tang saber on Su Ling's back.
That thing was clearly a good item, a treasure, but it didn't belong to her. Kanshūla.
Su Ling tilted her head up slightly to look at the girl, her expression cold and devoid of warmth, "Mm."
She let out a soft hum and said to the girl, "Turn around, go back to your original position, and then I'll leave."
She said this, fearing a sneak attack from behind.
The girl, her integrity questioned, did not get angry. After the apocalypse, she had stayed here, killing all the mutated zombies, their bodies piled on the floor behind her. She could eat while looking at the rotting, smelly corpses without changing her expression.
The world had changed; survival was the priority.
Therefore, she was too lazy to care about Su Ling's suspicion.
The girl gave Su Ling a warning look, "You'd better not try any tricks."
With those words, she watched Su Ling retreat, truly and obediently hiding herself behind the corner.
Once Su Ling was sure there was no danger, she grabbed the stair railing and leaped down.
Hearing the movement, the girl emerged from the corner. The stairwell was already empty; Su Ling was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that Su Ling had really left, a hint of disappointment and regret flickered in the girl's eyes.
She had noticed Su Ling and her group starting yesterday.
With such a big commotion, it was hard not to notice.
When she saw Su Ling's team cooperating to kill zombies, she had lain by the window, her eyes filled with envy.
But at the same time, she hadn't dared to stare for too long.
In the darkness of the apocalypse, she didn't know if they were good or bad.
Judging by their appearance, they were clearly very powerful.
And they were a large team; she was alone and couldn't reveal herself.
Her name was Lin Enxin. Before the apocalypse, she had come to this deli with classmates to buy supplies for a camping trip.
And she had never left since.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself on the ground, and not far away, her classmates were surrounded.
At first, she didn't realize what was happening until she called out her classmate's name, drawing the attention of those people.
When those people turned their heads upon hearing the sound, she almost fainted from fear.
Those people could no longer be called human; their faces were contorted, their eye sockets sunken, and their eyes terrifying.
Their faces were covered in blood, and they were chewing on dripping human flesh.
Having seen apocalyptic movies and novels, she quickly realized that these people had been infected and mutated into zombies.
She was targeted, and just as she was about to follow her classmates' path, her will to survive made her wildly wave her hand, releasing ice arrows that shot into the zombies' heads. The zombies hit by the ice arrows fell to the ground and didn't move.
She was greatly encouraged and wanted to release ice arrows again, but there was no response. Kanshuwu.xia.
As she frantically fled and dodged the zombies, she stumbled into the room of the deli owner and saw an iron rod.
Seeing hope, she grabbed the iron rod and directly smashed it against the heads of the zombies lunging at her…
Later, she emerged victorious, becoming the sole survivor in the store and clearing out the zombies on this floor to survive.
In the days after the apocalypse, she subsisted on the food in the store.
As for water, at first, she could still drink the bottled water ordered by the room's owner.
Later, after the bottled water ran out and there was no more water, she would fill the bucket with ice.
When the ice melted, that was the water she drank.
