Chapter 34 (2/2)

Guo Yuan couldn’t hide his sh*t-eating grin, whereas Zhao Zhen shook his head in resignation. “All right. Don’t be too smug. Otherwise, Pan Di’s going to wipe that smirk off your face.”

Ye Xiaoyu, who was cleaning utensils, looked down shyly as she asked, “Shen Chen, could you bring me along as well?

“What’s a little girl like you gonna do?” Pan Di said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

Ye Xiaoyu responded with a pout. “How dare you underestimate women! I’ll have you know that I’ve killed zombies before!”

“You?” Guo Yuan laughed as well. How did a dainty little girl like her kill a zombie? The fact that she hadn’t p*ssed herself like Lin Qianqian had was itself incredible.

Seeing that no one believed her, Ye Xiaoyu threw the dishcloth on the table. “Shen Chen, tell them whether or not I’ve killed a zombie.”

Shen Chen rubbed his forehead and said with a shake of his head, “Guys, she really did kill one…”

“Really? That can’t be right…” The three guys looked at each other.

Ye Xiaoyu stood next to Shen Chen, gleefully saying, “I’ve braved through the zombie swamp together with Shen Chen, so don’t underestimate me!”

Guo Yuan and Pan Di reluctantly took back what they had said about Ye Xiaoyu’s abilities, but Shen Chen said flatly, “That doesn’t mean you’re allowed to come along with me and Guo Yuan. You might become a hindrance to us.”

Ye Xiaoyu responded calmly. “You’re wrong. On the contrary, I believe I’ll be of assistance. Firstly, I’m a medical student. We need lots of medicinal supplies in an apocalyptic situation like this, and I’m the only one who knows how to use them appropriately. Besides, I’m familiar with the area, and I know where the drugstores are located. Since we’re venturing outside for once, we should bring back with us as many supplies as possible. Whaddya say, boss?”

Shen Chen’s gaze fell on Ye Xiaoyu, who was looking extremely confident. She had a point. If she really did know where the drugstores were located, that would be particularly convenient.

“All right. Get changed, then. Pass your fire axe to her, Pan Di. Pack up. We’ll be leaving in ten minutes!”

Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. After responding with an “aye,” she ran back to her bedroom to get ready.

Once back in her room, she heaved a sigh of relief. She then looked up with shiny eyes. As a woman, if she didn’t become an integral part of the team, who knew what fate would befall her! She had to work hard at proving her worth… She couldn’t be like those ignorant women who only knew how to depend on men!

…

By the time the three of them set out, it was already sunrise. The skies were still as blue as ever, but the terrain was barely recognizable. It was literally a living hell, a huge contrast with the morning serenity. The entire city was enveloped in a deadly silence. There were no car horns being honked, no hustle and bustle on the streets. Even the bloodcurdling screams had stopped. It was virtually a ghost town, with the exception of roaming zombies…

Guo Yuan drew in a deep breath before saying, “Boss! Up until now, I didn’t believe that the world as we knew it was truly gone…”
