Female A Male Jiao, Canary He Rebelled

Chapter 354 Mary Sue's Overbearing Desk Mate (43)

This time, the world outside the gate that appears is no longer a wilderness.

The world outside the door was already night. Under the bright moon hanging high, the shadows of farmland and village buildings could be vaguely seen.

On one side is a hazy silhouette of the city, and in the distance, there are still shadowy figures.

Qingyao looked at both sides and could only say that both sides had their own shortcomings, but she also made the problem obvious.

It's as if they're saying: Since you've already seen through me at noon, I might as well stop pretending and come clean!

No one in the village had a lamp lit, and under the moonlight, some white things adorned the doors of every household.

There were also white spots scattered on the ground, which didn't look quite normal.

It's even more obvious in the city!

With no lights at all, the shadowy figures amidst the rising dust and mist looked even more eerie and terrifying.

The barrier on the door blurred many details, making it difficult to see clearly.

Qingyao wanted bedding, which was naturally more likely to be found in the city.

Regardless of the level of danger, she didn't think she couldn't handle it.

Xuanyuan Wudi's gaze lingered on the indistinct white mottled spots for a moment before he decisively decided to go to the city with Qingyao.

"The village over there is full of ghosts. It's too dangerous to go there if we can't use the treasure. We'll only get beaten up."

Qingyao nodded in agreement, having also gleaned some insights from the city.

"The figure over there is walking in an abnormal way; it's probably some kind of zombie or monster."

To be on the safe side, Xuan Yuan Wudi took another careful look and nodded: "It looks more like a zombie. If you get caught, you'll be infected and become one of them. Its weak point is its head."

Qingyao said: I understand, isn't it just a headshot? All you need is a stick, right?

Unfortunately, neither of them had a suitable weapon, and they realized that they still needed a lot more, including weapons for self-defense.

The two reached an agreement, closed the gate to the village, and then entered the ominous city together.

The moment my front foot stepped out and my back foot landed, a nauseating stench hit me in the face!

It was a complex smell, like a corpse being thrown into a garbage dump and fermenting. Qingyao was actually glad that the black mist had sealed them off, turning them into ordinary people in every way, and their sense of smell was no longer as sharp as before!
The two were lucky enough not to encounter any more "door-opening" attacks and left their "home" smoothly, but that was the end of it.

Even though both of them could walk silently, there was a thick layer of mud on the ground. It was impossible to see what it was in the darkness, but after each sticky sound, a fermenting stench of corpses followed, making it easy to guess what kind of things they were.

Qingyao had to forcefully distract herself to suppress the urge to turn back. Xuanyuan Wudi's expression was also unpleasant, but his movements weren't as stiff as Qingyao's.

If Qingyao was emanating a chilling aura as she walked on this muddy street, then Xuanyuan Wudi was radiating a murderous aura!
The sticky sound from the soles of the shoes was like a dinner bell... The figures that had been wandering not far away all turned around impatiently and rushed towards the source of the sound.

Those rotting corpses, their arms outstretched as if making a large dog-like attack, some with only bones left on their necks, and others with vocal cords not yet completely necrotic, emitting hoarse sounds.

Some of them looked fresher, with ferocious expressions and roars, their mouths full of brown flesh. This successfully broke Qingyao's guard. She casually snapped off an advertising board next to the station and slapped it at the head of the fastest zombie.

Xuanyuan Wudi experienced the meaning of "first come, first served" when Qingyao beat him to it. Forced to rely on his fiancée's protection, he had no choice but to kick open the roller shutter of the restaurant next door, pull out a chair, and smash it against three zombie heads.

The chair met its glorious end, falling apart with a clatter, so he had to grab a second, then a third...

The two dealt with the zombies that were nearby when they heard the noise. The billboard in Qingyao's hand had turned into a "nunchaku". The last chair in Xuanyuan Wudi's hand was now just a backrest, with all four legs gone.

The two men, panting heavily, exchanged a glance: "Let's find weapons first."

Having reached an agreement once again, they tacitly inspected each of the shops on one side.

Soon, Qingyao dismantled a steel pipe from somewhere, Xuanyuan Wudi found a watermelon knife, and there was a bunch of cheap-looking fruit knives in his extra crossbody bag.

This kind of fruit knife isn't very lethal, so it's normal that the fleeing survivors would abandon it. It's good for stabbing someone in the back, but it's extremely difficult to kill a zombie from the front.

But that watermelon knife looks brand new.

Xuanyuan Wudi was found in the gaps between supermarket shelves in a mess, where almost nothing was left!
With handy weapons, they were much more efficient when they set off to gather supplies again!
Neither of them had any illusions that there was still food left there, but they did take a second look when they walked into the furniture store.

Mattresses still exist!

Come to think of it, who would be interested in stealing a heavy mattress in a place overrun by zombies?
If one is not exceptionally strong and fearless, they wouldn't even have time to care about basic necessities like changing clothes.

In such a desperate world, food, water, and medicine that can fill one's stomach and sustain life are the most sought-after items!
As the two traveled, they noticed that every shop related to food and medicine had a door that was not intact.

Even the roller shutter door that was kicked by Xuanyuan Wudi was originally left with a crack and was not fully closed.

Others might try to sneak in through that gap, which is like a dog hole, to plunder, but Xuanyuan Wudi couldn't bear that injustice!

Having found the mattress, before Qingyao could even touch it, Xuanyuan Wudi first picked up the square blue box.

In this city overrun with zombies, it looked like he was carrying a coffin, quite "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".

Qingyao didn't insist on doing the physical work. The little guy wanted to show off his "boyfriend strength," so she cooperated and wandered around the store, managing to find some usable bedding.

Having gathered enough bedding for the night, the two originally wanted to explore their surroundings further, but the large horde of zombies that surged towards them deterred their curiosity.

Carrying a bunch of stuff was really not suitable for facing hordes of monsters, so the two of them could only regretfully pick up things along the way that were reasonably pleasing to the eye and not too dirty to use as supplies. It was truly a case of plucking feathers from a passing goose!
If it weren't for the zombies relentlessly chasing after them, they would have had to uproot two lampposts before they could move on!
As Xuanyuan Wudi entered the room, carrying a mattress and a bunch of odds and ends, he was deliberately pushed back by Qingyao. Just a second before a group of zombies pounced and their purplish-black claws were about to grab Qingyao's eyes, they all tumbled through the door...
