Chapter 9 - It was as if she was a completely different person (3)
A man wearing a convenience store uniform came out. As he followed the plaid-shirt man, he apologized, "Sorry, there were people buying things inside. No one from the afternoon shift came today. I'm the only one here. I'm a bit behind from having to collect money and pump the gas too.'
From a distance, the plaid-shirt young man looked at Bei Nuan with a "See, I was right" expression and smiled at her.
"City S is in chaos. There are people biting other people everywhere. I think they're zombies. Do you want to hide?" The plaid-shirt man asked the store employee.
The store employee smiled. "What zombies? We're not in a movie. Besides, if I leave, who will mind the store?"
As the two people walked towards her, before they had taken a few steps, a figure rushed out from the store. It pounced on the plaid-shirt man and chomped down on his neck.
At this distance, Bei Nuan was able to make out that the zombie used to be a middle-aged man with glasses. His glasses were hanging crookedly on one ear, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Bei Nuan broke out in a run.
According to the novel, the zombie virus was very cunning. There were people that mutated as soon as they were infected, and then there were others with an incubation period. It seemed that the zombie virus had taken over just as this middle-aged man had come out to get gas.
A scream of horror came from behind her. Bei Nuan glanced back. Another young man with bloodshot eyes had rushed out of the store and pounced on the store employee, who had been frozen in terror.
Bei Nuan desperately ran forward. She soon heard footsteps behind her.
For an unknown reason, the zombie came after Bei Nuan after taking a few bites of the store employee.
The distance between them was a bit far. The zombie leaped forward and grabbed hold of Bei Nuan's leg.
Off balance, Bei Nuan fell forward. The zombie growled and tried to bite down on Bei Nuan's calf, but it failed. The magazine was too thick. No matter how good its teeth and jaw were, it couldn't bite through.
The young man's IQ had obviously dropped after becoming a zombie. After being dumbfounded for a bit, it tried to bite again. It still couldn't bite through, and the taste was weird too.
As Bei Nuan struggled to crawl forward while kicking the zombie, she searched through her pocket dimension for something that could kill the zombie.
The steel container had gotten dirty when she smashed it down on the zombie, so Bei Nuan hadn't put it back in her pocket dimension. Now that she wanted to find another lethal weapon, it was quite difficult. Back when she was in the financial district, under the safety of the novice halo, she had browsed many stores. Most of the stuff she collected then was food.
Unable to find a lethal weapon, Bei Nuan caught sight of a big watermelon. If she used it now, she probably wouldn't be able to eat a watermelon for a long time in the last days.
After only a moment of distress, Bei Nuan took out the watermelon and smashed it on the zombie's head.The big ripe watermelon easily broke over the zombie's head. The watermelon rind was thin, and the inside was juicy. It looked super sweet.
The zombie was stunned by the blow, and the sweet watermelon juice dripped over its face. The respite only lasted a second. Soon, the zombie snarled and chomped towards Bei Nuan. Before it could bite down, there was something stuffed in its mouth.
This time, Bei Nuan had found a cucumber in her pocket space and shoved it into the zombie's mouth.
With one bite, the zombie bit through the cucumber. It chewed a few times before spitting out the cucumber. The cucumber wasn't as delicious as human flesh. It resumed trying to chew through the magazine to get to Bei Nuan.
Bei Nuan persisted in her search and finally found something useful - a giant durian. It was thorny all over and was big and heavy.
Just as Bei Nuan lifted this lethal item high up and was about to smash it down on the zombie, there was suddenly a sharp sound that pierced through the air.
