CH 51

Chapter 51 - It was a rather worthless skill in the apocalypse (1)

Lu Xingchi slowly put his crossbow on the ground.

One of the gangsters immediately came over and took the crossbow.

Zhou Cang smirked at Lu Xingchi and ordered his subordinate, "Tie him up too."

It was easy to see that Lu Xingchi wasn't a good person to provoke. Zhou Cang's buddies were puzzled.

One of them suggested, "Zhou Cang, you might as well just kill him now?"

Zhou Cang harrumphed. His expression was a bit distorted. "Killing him would be letting him off too easily. I want to get a few zombies and watch as they slowly eat him. I want him to experience the feeling of being eaten alive by zombies too."

Lu Xingchi's expression didn't change, but he figured it out. Zhou Cang was reborn too and wanted revenge for being thrown into a pile of zombies.

Someone came over with rope to tie up Lu Xingchi. Lu Xingchi didn't resist having his hands tied up. Since he had gained an ability after being reborn, did Zhou Cang also gain an ability?

The situation was uncertain, so Lu Xingchi decided to not act rashly.

Bei Nuan was as quiet as a quail too. Hearing the others call the man with a gun "Zhou Cang", Bei Nuan remembered who he was. In the novel, not only had Zhou Cang robbed them of supplies, he had wanted to take Bei Nuan too.

Bei Nuan lowered her head and hid behind Lu Xingchi. She did her best to minimize her presence.

When she heard about Zhou Cang's plan, Bei Nuan couldn't resist silently ridiculing; could he be any more braindead? How stupid to insist on tying Lu Xingchi up and finding zombies to eat him instead of killing him right away

As a cannon fodder, he should have the consciousness of a cannon fodder. After capturing the male protagonist, Zhou Cang should use whatever weapon he had at hand to immediately eliminate him. Only by doing this would he gain control of the plot line.

Zhou Cang had just killed two people, and now he had successfully captured Lu Xingchi. He was still very excited and didn't pay too much attention to the small and weak Bei Nuan.

There wasn't a separate room to lock them up. Zhou Cang had Lu Xingchi and the others taken to a corner of the supermarket to be watched while he was busy with other stuff.

As a young man, he hadn't been alloted a cushion when he entered the supermarket. After being too tired to stand, he could only sit on the floor. The floor was cold and hard. It wasn't comfortable at all.

Zhou Cang had made up his mind earlier that after snatching the gun, he would find the most comfortable spot for himself and sit or lie down as he pleased.

There weren't any beds or sofas here. Zhou Cang thought it over and told his minions to collect everyone's blankets. The stacked up blankets were like a thick mattress. Then, he ordered them to bring all the available cushions and put them on top. A temporary throne was built in the middle of the open space of the supermarket.

"What's there good to eat? Bring it all over!" He had a gun in his hand. His sudden snapping of orders scared his buddies. They brought over bags of chips.

Sitting on the pile of blankets, Zhou Cang frowned. "I've eaten a day of dry bread. Is there any soup? Hot soup?"

In order to hide from Lu Xingchi, Zhou Cang had stayed away from the others. When Lu Xingchi and the others had been talking about opening the warehouse and going to the third floor to look for gas, he hadn't heard them.

His little buddy thought it over and said, "I'll go see if there's a self-heating hot pot."

A while later, he came back with two instant noodle cups. "The shelf for self-heating hot pots is empty. It might be gone because people were frantically buying stuff. There are instant noodles. Too bad there's no hot water."

"Why are you standing there in a daze then?" Zhou Cang patted the pile of blankets with his gun. "Find them!"
