Volume I, Beginnings, Chapter 8. North Gate Supermarket

"Are you serious? Two centimeters or so up the temple? ”

Wang Chao listened to Tang Ling's words, and was so surprised that he couldn't control the volume of his speech.

"Be quiet! I'll get those things later! Zhao Chunlu slapped the back of Wang Chao's head and warned in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, no, Tang Ling, are you serious?" Wang Chao smiled apologetically at the crowd looking at him, turned his head and continued to discuss this astonishing discovery with Tang Ling, "How did you know?" ”

"The fact that I bought my friend's life in exchange." Tang Ling saw Li Jia and Luo Rui walking in front of them suddenly when they heard this, and the two of them didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.

It's a bitter truth, but they have to face it.

The cute girl had been discussing gossip with them a few hours ago, but now she couldn't see it anymore.

"I'm sorry, I don't know......" Wang Chao noticed the solidification of the atmosphere and apologized in hindsight.

"It's okay, let's go, it's still some distance from the supermarket."

In the quiet woods of the school, there was nothing, except for the vague bloody smell in the air telling of this catastrophe, Tang Ling could no longer feel the breath of the existence of the monsters around her.

It's weird.

This is Tang Ling's only feeling.

Ten adults weaving through the woods, the obvious grinding of clothes against the foliage, the sound of heavy footsteps, and the rapid breathing of the quickened by the hurry, wouldn't these still attract a monster or two foraging for food?

Although I don't want to meet monsters on the way to the supermarket, this situation of not even seeing a shadow seems to be even more weird.

It's like...... The calm before the storm?

I just hope that I thought too much and didn't encounter danger because my group was lucky.

Tang Ling was comforted, but the vigilance in her heart was rising.

"Tang Ling, why do you have to go to the supermarket before leaving school?" After a while, Wang Chao couldn't help but start the topic again.

"Why didn't you find out that you talked so much before, didn't you look for supplies to survive in the apocalypse?" Gu Zhou, who was beside him, hooked Wang Chao's neck and explained to Tang Ling, "It's a big night, people's night vision is not as good as those monsters, you also saw it in the kitchen before, how good their eyesight is." I guess Tang Ling wanted to go to the supermarket closest to the north gate, which was well shaded by trees, and it was the only supermarket in the school with a spare warehouse, so it would be relatively safe for us to spend the night. ”

Although he was explaining to Wang Chao and the people around him who were also puzzled, the shining eyes behind Gu Zhou's glasses were staring at Tang Ling tightly, and he was very sure of his guess.

"This ...... Classmate, I think you're thinking too much. Luo Rui looked at Gu Zhou's confident appearance, and couldn't help but open his mouth, "Lingling is a super road idiot, you said that she wanted to take us to the supermarket at the north gate, but in fact, it was just because she could only find that one supermarket." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Zhou was dumbfounded, he looked at Tang Ling in astonishment, the latter innocently touched his nose and nodded.

"Thank you for thinking about it, but it's exactly what Rory said, and that's all I can find. But thank you for the explanation, we have a place to rest tonight. ”

"Poof! Hello......"

Wang Chao on the side was about to laugh at Gu Zhou, but before he could laugh, Gu Zhou covered his mouth, and he looked at Wang Chao gloomily: "What are you laughing at, do you want to summon monsters, go your way!" Then he rushed forward, looking a little frustrated.

In this way, everyone's originally tense atmosphere was also eased slightly, and Luo Rui and Li Jia's heavy mood of still feeling guilty about the death of their friend was also slightly relaxed, and everyone accelerated their pace and walked towards the North Gate Supermarket.

The north gate of City C University is far away from the crowd street, and most of the outside is farmland contracted by the school, and the school is also a gathering place for various experimental bases.

"It's strange that we didn't encounter any monsters all the way."

"Would you like more?" Gu Zhou glanced at Wang Chao beside him and teased.

"Forget it."

"I don't know if there were many students in the neighborhood before the accident, but recently as the end of the semester approaches, there will be students working overtime to come to the laboratory here, so we have to be careful. Wang Chao and I went to the staff room, Li Xiang, a few of you boys protect the girls to get the bags in the living area, don't be greedy, take things and go out to the warehouse immediately, and send a message if there is a situation. Gu Zhou instructed the next action to everyone.

"Okay."

Tang Ling clenched the western kitchen knife that had been walking in the kitchen before, and watched Wang Chao slowly open the back door of the supermarket.

The incandescent lights on the ceiling flickered, and compared to the previous cafeteria, it was much brighter.

The area of the North Gate Supermarket is not the largest supermarket in City C University, and the whole is only slightly ahead, although the area is not very large, but the items provided for students are complete.

A dazzling array of goods are placed on the shelves in a regular manner, one by one, presented in this spacious supermarket, and the living area is very close to the back door, so Tang Ling and the others didn't take long to get all the things they needed, and by the way, they also took away all the mineral water in the freezer at the back door.

It seems that there weren't many people here when the accident happened.

At the agreed meeting place, Tang Ling handed Luo Rui and Li Jia a bottle of water and said, "Drink some, I've been tossing for so long, especially Rarity, who hasn't had time to eat dinner yet." ”

"Woo, Lingling, woo woo woo......" It seemed that she had been nervous for so long, and she was finally able to take a breath and relax, and the tears that Luo Rui had been holding back for so long finally flowed out, she hugged Tang Ling, buried herself in her arms and cried in a low voice.

Tang Ling patted Luo Rui's back distressedly to show comfort, she looked at Li Jia, who was also sad on the side, and said softly: "Thank you for being willing to find me, I'm sorry." ”

Sorry for the light rain, and all of it.

"What are you talking about, the latter things are not something we can predict, just blame this end times." Li Jia patted Tang Ling's shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"It's good to go into the warehouse later, and make a phone call to the family after you settle down." Tang Ling took out a tissue to wipe away the snot and tears on Luo Rui's face, and proposed.

"It's strange, why haven't Gu Zhou and Wang Chao come out yet?" Li Xiang on the side took out his mobile phone, looked at the chat interface and looked at the greeting he had received ten minutes ago, and frowned.

"How long have they been in?"

"It's almost twenty minutes."

The staff room of the North Gate Supermarket is different from the living area, the living area is very close to the back door, but the staff room is at the gate, but it can be reached by walking for a few minutes, no matter how much time you spend looking for a key, it shouldn't be twenty minutes and there is no news.

Could it be that something is wrong......

Tang Ling had the worst expectation in her heart, and before she could think carefully, there was a noise from inside the back door.

Wang Chao and Gu Zhou appeared in everyone's sight covered in blood.
