“C’mon, push! Do something to stop them, or we’re all going to die!” Guo Yuan shouted at them anxiously.

The skinny man let out a roar as he pushed the shelves with all his might, but the shelves continued moving in their direction!

Suddenly, an ugly white face appeared through one of the gaps between the empty shelves and took a bite of the skinny man’s chest. The skinny man let out a loud scream and couldn’t help falling backwards.

Boom! The collapsing shelves landed on him, and the zombies took the opportunity to climb into the store. Even the zombies who had lost their arms were surprisingly agile as they leapt inside the store like grasshoppers.

Ye Xiaoyu screamed as she hacked at them with her fire axe! As for Guo Yuan, his aim was amazingly accurate. Every time his axe fell, it took a zombie’s life. But he wasn’t Shen Chen—a dozen zombies were too much for him to handle! He was soon forced to retreat and was backed into a corner. Guo Yuan didn’t seem like he could hold on much longer.

Ye Xiaoyu was smart enough to hide behind a shelf in the center of the store. She even managed to kill a zombie by herself! However, before she could congratulate herself, there was a loud boom. A stack of shelves fell on Ye Xiaoyu, pinning her underneath. A zombie pounced on her, a foul stench wafting out of its decaying mouth!

Ye Xiaoyu screamed and struggled. She mustered enough strength to wield her fire axe at the zombie, only to have the zombie chomp down on it. The foul-smelling drool from the zombie’s mouth even started dripping on Ye Xiaoyu’s clothes!

Ye Xiaoyu could barely hold the axe any longer, as her arm had started to tremble. She watched helplessly as the zombie’s ugly face came closer and closer. They were almost nose-to-nose with each other!

Ye Xiaoyu continued screaming frantically, but no one could come to her assistance! The three men were out of sight, and Guo Yuan was surrounded by three to five zombies himself.

Just as she was about to lose her grip on the axe, two more zombies came in Ye Xiaoyu’s direction! By then, Ye Xiaoyu had lost all hope! She looked over her shoulder in despair, her eyes landing on the sleeping Shen Chen…

‘Farewell, the man I like!’ Ye Xiaoyu slowly closed her eyes, a stream of tears rolling down her cheeks.

All of a sudden, the weight was lifted off her body. She opened her eyes to see a dead zombie lying next to her with its eyes and jaws wide open.

Undeterred by the sight, she looked past the zombie to see a god-like presence leaping into the air, his Black Blade gleaming in the light! With every flash of his blade, a zombie’s head rolled onto the floor!

Swift! Sharp!

Set against the glaring sunlight, his silhouette was like that of a movie character! He was like a nimble predator who spared no mercy in killing his prey!

Ye Xiaoyu was busy gawking at his back and forgot that she was still stuck in a dangerous predicament.

“Boss!” Guo Yan shouted with tears in his eyes. He had been utterly exhausted, but seeing Shen Chen in action re-energized his battered body.

Shen Chen looked at him out of the corner of his eye and said to him, “Kill!”

“Kill!” Guo Yuan let out a loud roar, his fire axe rapidly hacking at the zombies before him! Poof! Blood splattered everywhere in the store!

Five minutes later, the battle was over.

Guo Yuan and Ye Xiaoyu limped toward Shen Chen, a look of relief on their faces. Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips and suppressed the urge to run into Shen Chen’s arms.
