CH 21

Chapter 21 - Being taken care of by a boss (3)

Bei Nuan checked out several times. Every time she checked out, she found a corner with no one around and put her purchased items into her pocket space, and then she rushed back in to make another big purchase.

Bei Nuan happily pushed the shopping cart. She was completely incompatible with everyone else, who were so worried and in disarray.

With the end of the world coming, everyone was worried. Worried about losing this and that.

Bei Nuan's mindset was completely different. She should have already been flattened into a pancake by the truck in her original world. Instead, she was given a second chance in this apocalyptic world.

Regardless if she was able to complete the task, as a person that had already died, she would treat every extra minute of life as a bonus.

Bei Nuan had already thought it through. She would treat this zombieland as Hawaii and enjoy every day of her life.

Once again, Bei Nuan filled up a shopping cart. Just as she was standing on her tiptoes to get a large battery from the top shelf, she suddenly noticed something wrong with her peripheral vision.

Someone had fallen next to her. It was a man in his forties. Leaning against the shelf, he slowly slipped down to a sitting position on the floor as he gasped. His voice was very painful as if he was dying.

No way, right?

Could that unreliable system have advanced the plotline again and zombies were appearing in Ningcheng now?

The man was curled up and painfully gasping for breath.

Many of the nearby people had also noticed the abnormality. They all moved away to hide. The previously packed aisle now had a large area of empty space.

This was Ningcheng. No one had seen people changing into zombies yet. Thus, they stood in a circle and waited to see what would happen from a distance.

Bei Nuan was at a loss for words.

In normal times, shouldn't they hurry up to call for an ambulance? If they thought it was a zombie, shouldn't they flee right away?

What on earth were they thinking to gather in a crowd to watch the excitement?

Just as Bei Nuan was about to run, she saw Lu Xingchi. He was walking over here. As he squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, his gaze fell on the sitting man.

Bei Nuan saw it at a glance. When he was squeezed his way over, he very reliably held a knife. The shine of the blade was almost hidden behind his arm.

According to the setting of the novel, the big boss would have no problem dealing with a zombie or two if he was armed.

Bei Nuan's hanging heart was immediately put to rest. Soon after, she had a bold idea.

Bei Nuan rushed over the man.

Raising the man's slumped over head, Bei Nuan looked at the crowd of onlookers for help.

"Who will save him? Can someone come over to help him?"

Her small face with the cervical neck brace underneath looked pure and innocent. Her clear eyes looked as if she was about to cry. She looked like a fallen angel.

Those pure eyes silently swept over the onlookers, condemning them for their lack of humanity and denouncing them for their indifference.

The onlookers fell into deep self-blame.

Lu Xingchi, who had squeezed over and was ready to kill: "..."

This man was taking longer to turn into a zombie than anyone else she had seen today, so she felt that she would have enough time to complete the dialogue for the Holy Mother's voice task.

Bei Nuan had said the required words without omitting any words.

After finishing her task, Bei Nuan let go of the man and planned on retreating.

However, she suddenly noticed a strange thing. On the left side of the task bar, that task was still marked as 0 out of 1.

Huh? Why wasn't it completed?
