A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapters List

Chapter 16: Chapter 16

The mission was more than halfway complete, but Bei Nuan didn't dare to show even a hint of happiness on her face.

Even a fool could see that Lu Xingchi's face was dark, very dark, not the usual kind of dark.

It was estimated that all the team members had rebelled together, and Boss Lu was in a very difficult situation.

"Let's eat first, we'll talk after we eat." The situation was deadlocked, Lu Xingchi took a step back and put the unsolvable problem aside for the time being.

The chicken and chicken-fat rice made by Du Ruo were both of a very high standard.

Du Ruo was still not very satisfied. "It's a pity there's no lemongrass or pandan leaves."

Bei Nuan thought it was already very good.

The chicken skin was golden and translucent, smooth, bouncy and chewy, and the chicken was so tender that it would automatically slide into her mouth. With three small dipping sauces, chili sauce, ginger paste, and black soy sauce, the taste was absolutely authentic.

Even the chicken-fat rice was fragrant. Even without the chicken, Bei Nuan could eat two big bowls of just the rice itself.

"After eating, we'll go out and see if there's a supermarket nearby to help her collect supplies." Lu Xingchi said.

It seemed that he was still determined to leave Bei Nuan behind.

"Okay." Du Ruo readily agreed. "There are three of us, we should stock up."

Lu Xingchi: "…"

After eating, Jiang Fei resolutely refused to stay in the small building alone and insisted on following them.

"Lu Xingchi has to deal with zombies, so he may not have much thought to spare for you," Jiang Fei whispered to Bei Nuan. "I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of you, so I'd better follow you."

His voice was not loud, but Lu Xingchi heard him and turned his head to look at him, narrowing his eyes.

Jiang Fei returned Lu Xingchi a harmless smile.

So in the end, the group still got into the SUV together.

In the car, Bei Nuan quietly asked Jiang Fei, "Why did you go to jail?"

The book only said that he had killed someone, but didn't say why.

Jiang Fei replied in a gentle tone, "To get rid of evil and uphold justice."

"To get rid of evil and uphold justice? So you were wrongly accused?" Bei Nuan asked.

"No." Jiang Fei smiled. "One life for another."

Well, that's a pretty classical value.

After driving further into the city, Lu Xingchi casually cleared a few scattered zombies on the road and saw the supermarket.

Bei Nuan thought to herself, this is the supermarket written in the book, right?

Lu Xingchi and the others had gone to the supermarket warehouse to collect supplies.

Although there were a lot of things in the supermarket warehouse, what they could take was very limited, and on the way out, they happened to encounter a group of bad guys.

It was a few local thugs with a gun they didn't know where they got it from.

The leader, a small fry named Zhou Cang, robbed Lu Xingchi and the others of their supplies and car, and even took a fancy to Bei Nuan, wanting to keep her too.

It turned out to be all a dream.

Lu Xingchi grabbed the gun, not only got the supplies back, but also directly threw the little thug named Zhou Cang into the zombie horde.

Later, it was said that the first human base in Jiang City was established in the infection zone. It was still hidden underground, relying on underground tunnels, far away from zombies, with access in all directions. Many survivors went to seek refuge there.

However, this had nothing to do with the team. The team left Jiang City with the supplies collected from the supermarket and continued forward.

This supermarket was really not small.

Probably because it was opened in the suburbs, the land was cheap, and there were three floors up and down.

The glass doors outside were locked, and after the baptism of the end of the world, they were already broken and incomplete. The locks were as good as nothing, and a group of zombies were wandering around inside and out.

However, there was another layer of rolling shutter doors inside, which were tightly closed.

Several people tiptoed around the supermarket and came to the back door.

There were also rolling shutter doors on the back door for delivery.

Lu Xingchi asked Bei Nuan for a crowbar and pried at the corner of the rolling shutter door. The metal rolling shutter door was as soft as noodles in his hand, and he actually lifted a large gap.

Lu Xingchi went in first. There was a burst of roaring inside, and then it became quiet in an instant.

There were dozens of zombies gathered here. Judging from their clothes, most of them were supermarket employees, and some were dressed in casual clothes, but now they all had nails in their heads.

Lu Xingchi easily restored the rolling shutter door and led everyone inside. Inside was the warehouse, with supplies everywhere.

Several people were picking and choosing among the mountains of boxes.

When Jiang Fei saw that the boxes Bei Nuan pointed at with her finger would disappear out of thin air, his reaction was much calmer than when Du Ruo saw it for the first time. He even looked away and didn't ask any more questions.

The main things they were looking for were food and daily necessities. After working for a long time, Bei Nuan's space was enriched again.

Bei Nuan climbed up and down among the boxes, looking for snacks wholeheartedly.

A box of hazelnut chocolate, two boxes of squid.

Just as she put a whole box of pickled pepper chicken feet into the space, someone fished her out from behind the pile of boxes.

"Can snacks be eaten as a meal?"

Lu Xingchi looked serious and carried her to the shelf where the rice was placed like a chick, personally watching her put bags of rice away one by one.

Bei Nuan put away more than two hundred bags of 20kg bags of rice before Lu Xingchi was satisfied.

As if he was very afraid that she would starve to death in the small building.

Even if it wasn't just Bei Nuan, even if she ate with Du Ruo and the other three, eating rice every day would be enough for twenty or thirty years.

After collecting a lot of flour and cooking oil, Bei Nuan refused to pack any more.

"Enough?" Lu Xingchi asked.

"Enough," Bei Nuan said. "No need to take any more, maybe there are other people who want to come in and find supplies, leave the rest for them."

Then she was satisfied to see that the Holy Mother points jumped up a notch.

Bei Nuan's idea was completely different from Lu Xingchi's.

There was no need to stock up on food at all. She didn't plan to stay in the small building in the first place.

Staying here was tantamount to suicide. If she didn't gain enough Holy Mother points before the end of the plot, she would be sent back to be crushed by a truck.

Of course, she had to follow him. Gaining Holy Mother points was the first priority.

Now that she had the supplies, the male lead might run away as soon as they left the supermarket. Bei Nuan flipped through the boxes in her hand, desperately trying to figure out how to find an excuse to continue following him.

Du Ruo had nothing to do and wandered around when he suddenly found a locked door behind the shelf.

"It should be the passage to the inside of the supermarket." Lu Xingchi said.

Du Ruo suggested, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

Go to the supermarket now? They were really in the mood. There might be a sea of corpses inside.

But Bei Nuan also wanted to find an excuse to delay time, so she quickly seconded, "Then let's go in and have a look?"

What was rare was that Lu Xingchi was actually not in a hurry to leave. He didn't object, but went over and shook the doorknob.

The door that Du Ruo couldn't open actually creaked open in his hand.

This door really led to the inside of the supermarket.

Du Ruo helped Jiang Fei walk in front, Lu Xingchi and Bei Nuan fell a few steps behind. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two people, Bei Nuan continued her persuasion work.

"Lu Xingchi, are you really not taking me with you?"

Bei Nuan asked him.

"Even if you help me find enough food and daily necessities for these years, what about the future? You've made that small building so strong, maybe I can really hold on for a long time."

Lu Xingchi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I will finish my business as soon as possible. If I'm still alive, I will come back to you."

Huh?

What did that mean?

Bei Nuan forgot to continue walking and stopped, looking at him in surprise.

Why did these words sound so ambiguous?

Lu Xingchi's expression remained unchanged as he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Bei Nuan.

"Let's go, if we don't go, Du Ruo and the other two will be eaten by zombies."

He whispered, his tone actually a little gentle.

He was right.

Du Ruo had already helped Jiang Fei walk a distance ahead, and was looking around, not realizing that the two people behind them hadn't followed.

Lu Xingchi must have been a crow, with a standard crow's mouth.

Several figures suddenly appeared around the corner ahead.

Lu Xingchi raised his crossbow at the first moment.

But he didn't fire.

The people who came were moving normally, their eyes were normal, they were obviously human, not zombies.

And they could talk.

"All of you, don't move, put your hands up!"

The leader shouted, and what he was holding in his hand was actually a gun, the black muzzle pointed at them.
