Looking into the distance, Shen Chen said slowly, “Don’t despair. Our ability to bounce back from devastation is more powerful than you realize. It’s just that, in a fight to the death, only the victors survive, and the losers are destined to die. What we need to do is become the party that triumphs…”

Guo Yuan and Ye Xiaoyu nodded, but it wasn’t clear whether they had truly understood his speech. Shen Chen didn’t say anything else, merely smiling in response.

The three of them got into the car, and they were soon cruising the streets. “Where shall we go first?” Guo Yuan asked from the backseat.

“Drugstore. Ye Xiaoyu, lead the way!”

Ye Xiaoyu nodded. “The nearest store is in the residential area on the ground floor. It has both Chinese and Western medicine and carries certain food items as well.”

“Do they have ginseng?”

Ye Xiaoyu paused for a moment before saying, “Mm, yes… They also have tonics like tiger bone wine…”

“That’s great. Let’s go to that one, then!” Shen Chen nodded and floored the gas pedal. The car shot off like an arrow from a bow.

About ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the residential area. Dozens of roaming zombies started surrounding the vehicle, including two extremely tall zombies dressed like security guards.

Ye Xiaoyu held onto the fire axe anxiously, only to hear a command from Shen Chen, saying, “Kill!”

A few minutes later, the zombies fell around Shen Chen and Guo Yuan. It barely took them any effort. In fact, they relished it so much that it was as if killing the zombies had been a game to them. Ye Xiaoyu, on the other hand, realized that she hadn’t been of much use. She bit her lower lip nervously. The guys were getting better! However, she quickly regained her composure and beckoned them to come over. “Over here!”

As the residential area was fairly new, many of the lots were still in the process of securing tenants. The first three floors of the area marked for commercial use were locked and vacant.

Ye Xiaoyu quickly led them to the drugstore, but it, too, was locked. She hit herself on her head, saying, “Sh*t. I forgot that most shops close at eight. What should we do since it’s locked?”

“It’s all right!”

Shen Chen smiled and kicked at the lock with minimal force. There was a “boom” as a dent formed on the metal grille. He then moved forward and broke the metal grille in half with his bare hands, revealing the glass door.

Ye Xiaoyu stared in astonishment as he broke the glass door of the drugstore effortlessly. He went into the store first, followed by Ye Xiaoyu and Guo Yuan.

The drugstore itself was intact and undamaged, despite the apocalypse that had descended on Valentine’s Day. As it had already been a week, a light layer of dust had gathered on the shelves full of medicinal items.

Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up at the sight of the shelves. She scampered over happily, saying, “Ah, we need the Yunnan Baiyao. Also the vitamins. We should get a few more bottles.”

Guo Yuan scratched his head in puzzlement. “What do we need those for?”

“Idiot, humans are more susceptible to health complications, such as septicaemia, if they lack vitamins. We are now in the end-times and won’t be getting a supply of fresh fruits and vegetables from farmers, so vitamin supplements are lifesavers!” replied Ye Xiaoyu. She was a totally different person when it came to her area of expertise. Her eyes were practically sparkling.
