Chapter 37: Frantically rushing
Liu Gan extended his hand and took the bottle from Pan Hua. The small bottle was made of metal. After looking at the San Xing Corporation logo, he gave the bottle a shake to see if there was anything inside. He could feel waves pushing against the inner walls of the bottle, denoting that there was probably some kind of liquid held within. Liu Gan flipped the bottle and saw that there was a small word “Incubator” written on the base of the bottle. However, a description of what the bottle was incubating wasn’t present.
“Incubator? Maybe it is some disease or virus? Boss you must take caution when you open the bottle,” Pan Hua hurriedly cautioned Liu Gan after he saw the word. The purpose of handing over this bottle, which he found, was to fawn over Liu Gan. It would be big trouble if the bottle ended up causing him harm.
Liu Gan figured that the lady named ZhangYu would know what is contained in the bottle. Hence he turned around and made his way back into the hardware shop. However at that moment, a shriek coming from the hardware shop.
Liu Gan and Pan Hua immediately rushed into the shop…
There was a freshly cut wound along ZhangYu’s throat, fresh blood was spurting out of the wound, dying the ground crimson red. She looked like she was still conscious and there was a piece of metal blade found on the ground beside her where her hand laid. This ZhangYu must have searched for this metal blade from the hardware shop when Liu Gan and gang weren’t paying attention to her.
“What does this bottle contain? What is it for?” Liu Gan rushed towards ZhangYu and applied pressure to the wound and pressed on her carotid artery hoping that the blood will stop.
ZhangYu glanced at the bottle, opened her mouth and muttered something that was not audible. A short while after, her eyes became lifeless and devoid of any response.
[Feldy: Wth, the new characters died so fast… Might as well don’t give them any names.]
ZhangYu and her boyfriend LiHui had left the safety of their apartment in search of food at the break of dawn. They discovered that zombies were less reactive during the morning sunrise, but they weren’t killed by zombies. They were ambushed by 5 scumbags, who killed her boyfriend LiHui and now she committed suicide. Unable to handle the humiliation, fear, and the pain of losing her only loved one so she chose to escape.
LuLu was on the ground crying, trembling in fear. Once again she witness death before her very eyes.
Liu Gan searched through ZhangYu’s clothes, but he didn’t find anything. The 5 scumbags probably searched her thoroughly before him.
“This is all my fault, she is dead because of me…” LuLu started crying even louder.
“This isn’t your fault…” Pan Hua got on the ground beside LuLu trying his best to comfort her.
“What happened this morning?” Liu Gan walked over to question LuLu.
“At the break of dawn…” LuLu forming words while hiccuping as she sobbed.
“If I woke you guys up earlier, maybe you could have saved her and her boyfriend. It was because I was too gutless and useless!” LuLu finally showing her deepest regret on making a poor decision.
Liu Gan didn’t say anything, he turned and walked out of the hardware store. He gathered all the supplies and put them together before stuffing them in his backpack; because of the scumbags, he now had a few extra backpacks.
