Volume 1 The Beginning Chapter 8. North Gate Supermarket
"Are you serious? About two centimeters above the temple?"
Wang Chao was so surprised after hearing Tang Ling's words that he couldn't help but speak louder.
"Keep your voice down! We're going to attract those things later!" Zhao Chunlu slapped Wang Chao on the back of the head and warned in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, sorry, no, Tang Ling, are you serious?" Wang Chao smiled angrily at everyone who looked at him, then turned to continue discussing this amazing discovery with Tang Ling, "How did you know?
of?"
"The fact that I paid for it with my friend's life." When Tang Ling saw Li Jia and Luo Rui walking in front of them, they suddenly stopped when they heard the words. They didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
This is a painful fact, but they must face it.
The cute girl was discussing gossip with them a few hours ago, but now she can no longer be seen.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." Wang Chao noticed the tense atmosphere and belatedly apologized.
"It's okay, let's go quickly. We're still some distance away from the supermarket."
There was nothing in the woods of the quiet school of Nuo Da, except for the vague smell of blood in the air, telling the story of this catastrophe. Tang Ling could no longer feel the presence of monsters around her.
Very strange.
This is Tang Ling's only feeling.
Ten adults were walking through the woods, with the obvious friction between clothes and branches and leaves, the sound of heavy footsteps, and the sound of rapid breathing that was gradually speeding up because of the hurry. Wouldn't these attract one or two monsters looking for food?
Although I don't want to meet a monster on the way to the supermarket, this situation where I can't even see a shadow seems even weirder.
It's like...the calm before the storm?
I just hope that I am thinking too much and that I am not in danger because I am more lucky.
Tang Ling comforted her like this, but her inner vigilance level continued to rise.
"Tang Ling, why do you have to go to the supermarket before leaving school?" After a while, Wang Chao couldn't help but start the topic again.
"Why didn't I notice you talk so much before? Don't you want to find supplies to survive in the apocalypse?" Gu Zhou, who was beside him, hooked his arm around Wang Chao's neck and explained to Tang Ling, "It's late at night, and people's night vision is incomparable.
You saw those monsters in the kitchen before, how good their eyesight is. I guess Tang Ling wants to go to the supermarket closest to the north gate. There are many trees there, which provide good shelter, and it is also the only supermarket in the school that has
It’s a supermarket with a spare warehouse. It’s relatively safe for us to stay there for one night.”
Although he was explaining to Wang Chao and the people around him who were also confused, Gu Zhou's shining eyes behind his glasses were fixed on Tang Ling, very sure of his guess.
"Um...classmate, I think you are overthinking." Looking at Gu Zhou's confident look, Luo Rui couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Lingling is a super road idiot. You said she wanted to take us
Actually, she went to the supermarket in Beimen just because she could only find that one supermarket."
"ah?"
Gu Zhou was dumbfounded now. He looked at Tang Ling in astonishment. The latter touched her nose innocently and nodded.
"Although I am very grateful to you for thinking so carefully about me, the fact is exactly what Luo Rui said. I can only find it there. But thank you for your analysis. We have a place to rest tonight."
"Pfft! Haha..."
Wang Chao on the side was about to laugh at Gu Zhou, but before he could laugh out loud, Gu Zhou covered his mouth. He stared at Wang Chao gloomily: "Why are you laughing? Do you want to attract monsters? Go your way!
"Then he rushed forward, looking a little defeated.
In this way, the tense atmosphere among everyone was slightly relieved. Luo Rui and Li Jia, who were still feeling guilty about the death of their friend, also relaxed a little. Everyone quickened their pace and headed towards the Beimen Supermarket.
The north gate of City C University is far away from the popular streets. Most of the outside is farmland contracted by the school. It is also a gathering place for various experimental bases inside the school. Most of the time, except for the student tutors doing research here, there are basically not many people.
I come here, so the flow of people in Beimen Supermarket is relatively small.
"It's strange, we didn't encounter any monsters all the way here."
"Do you still want a few more?" Gu Zhou glanced at Wang Chao beside him and teased.
"Then forget it."
"I don't know if there were many students around here before the accident, but as the end of the semester approaches, there will be students working overtime to come to the laboratory here, so we have to be careful. Wang Chao and I went to the staff room, Li Xiang, you guys
Protect the girl when she goes to get the bag from the living area, don't be greedy for too much, go out to the warehouse immediately after taking the things, and send a message if there is any situation." Gu Zhou ordered the next action to everyone.
"OK."
Tang Ling clenched the kitchen knife that she had left in the kitchen and watched Wang Chao slowly open the back door of the supermarket.
The incandescent lights on the ceiling were flickering. Compared with the previous cafeteria, this place was much brighter.
The area of Beimen Supermarket is not the largest among the university supermarkets in City C. It is only slightly closer to the front. Although the area is not very large, the items provided for students are complete.
A dazzling array of products were neatly placed on the shelves, row by row, in this spacious supermarket. The living area was very close to the back door, so it didn't take Tang Ling and the others long to get what they needed, and they also took them out the back door.
All the mineral water in the freezer.
It seems that there were not many people here when the accident happened.
At the agreed meeting place, Tang Ling handed Luo Rui and Li Jia a bottle of water and said, "Drink some. After struggling for so long, especially Rui Rui, we haven't had time to eat dinner yet."
"Woo, Lingling, woo woo..." As if she could finally take a breath and relax after being tense for so long, the tears that Luo Rui had been holding back for so long finally flowed out. She hugged Tang Ling and buried her in the
She cried softly in her arms.
Tang Ling patted Luo Rui's back distressedly to express comfort. She looked at Li Jia, who was also looking sad, and said softly: "Thank you for being willing to come to me, I'm sorry."
Sorry for Xiaoyu and everything.
"What are you talking about? We couldn't have predicted these things. We can only blame this apocalypse." Li Jia patted Tang Ling on the shoulder, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"It will be fine when we enter the warehouse later. Let's call our family after we get settled." Tang Ling took out a tissue and wiped the snot and tears from Luo Rui's face and suggested.
"It's strange, why haven't Gu Zhou and Wang Chao come out yet?" Li Xiang took out his mobile phone and frowned when he saw that the greeting he had sent ten minutes ago was still on the chat interface.
"How long have they been in there?"
"It's almost twenty minutes."
The staff room of Beimen Supermarket is different from the living area. The living area is very close to the back door, but the staff room is at the main entrance, but it can be reached within a few minutes' walk. No matter how much time it takes to find a key, it shouldn't cost 20
It's been a few minutes and there's still no news.
Maybe something happened...
Tang Ling had the worst expectation in her mind, but before she could think about it carefully, there was a noise at the back door.
Wang Chao and Gu Zhou appeared in everyone's sight covered in blood.
