CH 10

In the morning of the next day, they spent half an hour in the posture of killing a pig. They took out half a basin of blood from golden half buttocks and used it to cover their entire bodies.

Jiang Miaomiao couldn't stand the nausea of the dark blood smearing on her skin. She cut the curtain from the wall and wrapped it around her body. Her mouth and nose were covered by a mask made out of a large piece of cloth, only exposing her two eyes.

Lu Qiming smeared the blood for her then he took two steps back to take a look, “Tut tut, it’s a pity that you were not a mummy.”

“Likewise, it's already noon. Let's go?”

Lu Qiming put down his bloody cloth and nodded.

Golden half buttocks lay dying on the floor. Its ankles was miserably cut by them and it looked unsightly and bloody.

Tut tut, they were more cruel than zombies.

Jiang Miaomiao shook her head and closed the door.

When they were about to leave the Villa, Jiang Miaomiao specifically advised: “Don't drive as fast like the last time, I'm worried that we'll have a car accident.”

How unjust it was that she wasn't killed by a zombie, but died in a sports car falling into the river.

Lu Qiming said, “We're not driving.”

“Why?”

“Since we want to pretend to be zombies then let's pretend until the end. Which zombie have you seen driving?”

This is fine, but if they won't drive, how could they get there?

By walking? There are thousands of zombies along the way and they could be killed.

Jiang Miaomiao felt a chill down her spine and hesitated.

Lu Qiming saw her getting scared and comforted: “Relax, it's my idea to go to the supermarket. If something unexpected happens on the road, I will desperately protect you and make sure you'll come back unscathed.”

“Oh come on, how many lives do you have?”

Jiang Miaomiao rolled her eyes and pulled her mask up a bit, “Since we're going to die, take the knife with you. In case the zombies really rush over, just give that knife to me.”

Lu Qiming couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth and put the knife behind his waist.

He said as he opened the door, “Remember, zombies don't have X-ray eyes and they can't tell whether we are humans or corpses at a glance. Now that our smell has been covered up and as long as our behavior isn't too abrupt, we will not get discovered.”

After a few seconds, two strange new "zombies" appeared in the yard.

The little star stood less than four meters away from them, looking at them with a pair of godlike dead fish eyes.

Jiang Miaomiao's body went stiff and she couldn't even lift her feet. Instead, she made a fool of herself and her posture was more like that of a zombie.

The little star's rotten mouth made a roar twice and withdrew his gaze then it continued to wander aimlessly.

Lu Qiming gave her a thumbs up.

She was relieved and this gave her a lot of confidence. Lu Qiming gave way and limped behind her.

The two left the neighborhood safely and were not found by any zombies.

The door of a shop was open at random and the goods inside were in a mess. It shows how flustered the shop assistants were when they left.

Naturally, there were no shoppers and were replaced by zombies, and it looked like a ghost town.

She noticed that there was a slim female zombie, wearing a new and beautiful skirt with high heels. She had long curly hair and her greenish gray skin vaguely showed her delicate makeup. She must have been a beauty before her death and was on a date with her boyfriend before she was bitten.

Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help sighing that it was shit luck that she could live until now.

A burst of fragrance hit her. And she looked up and saw that the peach trees on the roadside were blooming and the little pink flowers next to each other stretched out a romantic pink haze.

The sunlight passed through the gaps between the flowers and the zombies under the trees were shining in pink.

Lu Qiming saw the fondness in her eyes and asked, “Let's pick some back?”

She shook her head, “No, let's go to the supermarket.”

Their zombie walk was so slow that a few minutes drive took them more than an hour to arrive.

The supermarket was on the roadside and there was a small square of more than a 100 square meters at the door.

On weekdays, there were stalls, dancers, sugar sellers and balloons selling in the square. Now, there are only two zombies standing there and robbing something.

Jiang Miaomiao approached and saw that it was half a rotten human thigh and she nearly vomited out of disgust.

Lu Qiming covered her nose and mouth and sped up.

The supermarket door wasn't closed so it was easy to enter. Like in the Villa, there was no electricity and it was pitch dark.

There were probably zombies hidden in the dark and strange noises could be heard.

Lu Qiming shook her hand and whispered.

“Let's not go too deep, just grab the things nearby. Follow me and don't go too far. Also, make it quick. If we can't go back before dark, we're done.”

Jiang Miaomiao even wished she could stick herself to him, let alone leave him. She nodded her head, took the shopping basket he handed over and started taking things.

There are three areas next to the cash register, such as the beverage area which was filled with promotional cola, milk, juice and more.

One is a daily necessities area with toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel and the likes.

The last one was the discount bread area where there were many bags of bread.

Jiang Miaomiao wanted to drink yogurt, but it was too heavy to take and gave up decisively. She took some toothpaste, a small bottle of shampoo and a shower gel from the daily necessities area then put most of her energy on bread.

The fresh bread with a short shelf life already had molds, but soft breads such as Dali Garden could still be eaten.

Jiang Miaomiao picked them out and put them in her basket then she called Lu Qiming in a low voice to come and help.

Lu Qiming didn't answer. She looked back and froze.

Where is he? He was here just now!

“Lu Qiming…”

Jiang Miaomiao called out to him in a low voice and walked two steps forward. There seems to be something under her feet.

She looked down and almost screamed in fright when she saw a pair of cracked bloodshot eyes.

The zombie's legs were cut off from its knees and it looked like a dwarf. Its body was incomplete, but it still has great strength and as soon as it lifted its hand, her mask was grabbed.

Jiang Miaomiao's breath was exposed. The zombie was like a hungry wolf that smelled the scent of blood. It instantly went on rampage. Its bloody thigh slammed on the ground and it jumped even higher than Jiang Miaomiao's head and it directly knocked her to the ground.

The back of her head fell on the floor and her vision turned black due to pain.

The zombie pressed her shoulders and opened its stinky mouth to bite her.

She's going to die... She shouldn't have come out to take risks. She's only fit for hiding inside the house like a salted fish.

Jiang Miaomiao closed her eyes in despair, but she didn't feel the expected pain. Instead, she heard a friction sound of a sharp blade piercing through the bones then a cold, thick blood splashed on her face.

The zombie above her body stopped moving and became a corpse completely.

She opened her eyes and was stunned to see a person standing behind the zombie.

”You…”

So skilled?!

Lu Qiming kicked the zombie away, wiped the blood from her nose and mouth and helped her put on her face mask again. She then threw herself into his arms.

”I was scared to death. Fortunately, I survived.”

Jiang Miaomiao: ...It looks like it was blind luck.

She touched her head gratefully and looked at the "dead" zombie.

”Is it dead?”

“Probably.”

According to the original book, zombies will die as long as they are shot in the head. The male and female leads have been using this method to kill the zombies.

But one of them was a special soldier and the other had practiced Sanda. It's useless to see God killing Buddha. Even if she knew this secret, she would never win.

She became scared afterwards.

“Let's go back. These bread should be enough for a few days.”

“I found a good place.”

“Where?”

Lu Qiming pointed to the left area with his chin.

“I've checked it out. There are no zombies over there. Let's go.”

He told her not to run around, but look who's running around.

Jiang Miaomiao was led by him and her heart was filled with resentment. However, when she saw the shelves over there, she immediately felt that it's worth dying here.

Bacon!

Ham!

Salted fish!

It's all meat!

There's dried kelp, dried fungus, dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots on the other shelf, it's everything she loves!

Jiang Miaomiao realized the joy of Alibaba when he found the treasures of the forty thieves. She immediately took a new basket and tried to load it.

Lu Qiming said: “You take some food while I'll get some clothes.”

She couldn't hear him because there was only food left in her mind and her hands couldn't stop grabbing.

Lu Qiming took some underwear and clothes, and found himself a warm quilt. When he came back, he saw that her basket was full, he reminded:

“We don't have a car, we can't take too much. That's enough.”

Jiang Miaomiao recovered her senses and was reluctant to give up her food.

“Why don't we just stay here?”

There's food, drinks and bed here. It's clearly a fairy land.

If she had known, she wouldn't have rented a Villa and should've gone to a small supermarket before the zombie outbreak and lived a happy life.

Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows, ”Are you sure? There are several entrances in this supermarket that are open. Not sure how many zombies are hiding during this time. They won't come out during the day, but they will definitely seek food at night. If we live here, aren't we like lambs sent into the tiger's mouth?”

She thought about it then she shivered and felt sorry.

”So these things are just going to be wasted? They are made for humans to eat.”

A bacon that can't be eaten is not a good bacon.

“Let's come back tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to take.”

Their hands were full of four baskets and they couldn't carry it. Lu Qiming found two carts and transferred all the things in.

Before going out, he specifically took some blood out from the dead zombie and wiped it on their bodies to replenish the stench to make sure they are safe. Then they went out.

The sun was still shining brightly outside and they walked like zombies while they slowly pushed the carts as if they were leisurely walking in the park.

As they passed under the peach tree, Lu Qiming suddenly jumped and broke off a branch of a peach blossom.

Jiang Miaomiao was shocked and scolded him in a low voice.

“Are you crazy? What should we do if we are found? I told you not to pick them.”

“Who said I picked it for you? I like this.”

He put the peach blossom in front of the cart like a flag of victory.

After walking for more than an hour, they came home just before sunset.

After entering the door, Jiang Miaomiao lay on the floor and was too tired to move.

But her entire body reeked of zombie blood and she felt like dying.

Lu Qiming should be about the same. He started boiling water when he entered the door.

The pot was small and the water boiled quickly and was ready in a few minutes. He poured it into the bucket then boiled the second pot.

When he reached the fourth pot, he looked at the amount of water and placed the bucket in front of Jiang Miaomiao.

“Go take a shower.”

Jiang Miaomiao was surprised, “Did you boil the water for me? You're not going to wash?”

“I will, but I'm living under your roof so I have to do some chores, otherwise I'll be scolded as a white eyed wolf.”

Lu Qiming teased her then she carried the bucket upstairs while blushing.

He continued to boil water. He caught a glimpse of the peach blossoms in the cart from his peripheral vision. He found an empty mineral water bottle and filled half of it with water, he then inserted the peach blossoms and placed it in the center of the dining table.

The pink petals swirled and fell and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance.
