Chapter 21: Mutants Attack 2
Aze acted quickly and rushed to the store door. Just as he was about to close it, a group of figures had already rushed to the door.

They were dressed in rags, their skin was covered with festering wounds, and their eyes were bloodshot as if stained with blood.

But unlike ordinary zombies, these people - or creatures that were once human - are agile and even have a certain degree of coordination.

"Mutant!" Aze shouted and tried to close the door, but it was too late.

The first mutant rushed in and knocked Aze down. More mutants followed closely behind and quickly poured into the convenience store.

Customers screamed and ran away. Some of them fell to the ground in panic and were trampled by the people behind them.

Xiao Ran fought with the mutant who had grabbed the young man by the window. He pulled hard, and the young man finally broke free from the terrifying arm, but several deep scratches were left on his neck, and the blood was flowing profusely.

"Go to the back!" Xiao Ran pushed the young man into the store, and faced the mutant who climbed in through the window.

Meanwhile, the convenience store was in chaos. The clerk behind the counter had already hidden under the counter, trembling.

Several other customers were crowded in the storage room, desperately trying to hold onto the door.

"Wanqing!" Xiao Ran shouted while fighting the mutant, "Where is Wanqing?"

Aze got up from the ground and looked towards the back of the convenience store: "She just went to look for medicine!"

"Go find her!" Xiao Ran said solemnly, kicking a mutant away. "I'll hold these things back!"

Aze nodded and quickly ran to the back. The convenience store was bigger than it looked, and there was a small warehouse in the back.

He pushed open the half-open warehouse door and found Su Wanqing rummaging through the shelves.

"Sister!" Aze shouted anxiously, "We have to go! The mutants are coming!"

Su Wanqing turned around with a calm expression: "I heard it. Hurry up and help me find antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs."

"but--"

"Xiao Ran can't hold on for much longer alone." Su Wanqing quickly interrupted him, "We need medicine."

Aze understood what she meant and immediately joined the search. The two of them quickly checked the medicine racks and stuffed the useful items into their backpacks.

The sounds of battle ahead intensified. The roars of mutants and the screams of humans intertwined, mixed with the sounds of objects collapsing.

"That's enough." Su Wanqing zipped up her backpack. "Let's go back and help Xiao Ran."

The two rushed back to the front hall and were shocked by the scene before them. The convenience store was in shambles, shelves toppled over, and merchandise scattered everywhere.

Xiao Ran stood in the center, covered in blood, with several mutant corpses lying around him.

But more mutants continued to pour in, surrounding him.

"Xiao Ran!" Su Wanqing shouted and pulled out a dagger from her backpack.

Xiao Ran heard the shout and turned to take a look. This brief distraction gave a mutant an opportunity to take advantage.

The mutant leaped up and lunged at Xiao Ran's back. Xiao Ran had no time to dodge and could only raise his arms to block the attack. The mutant's teeth bit into his arm fiercely.

"Ah!" Xiao Ran cried out in pain, and with his other hand, he clenched a fist and hit the mutant's head, knocking him down.

"Xiao Ran!" Su Wanqing exclaimed and rushed forward.

But more mutants stood between them. Xiao Ran's injuries slowed him down, and the mutants seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

At this moment, Aze suddenly took a step forward and drew an arc in the air with his hands.

The water stains, drinks and mutants' blood on the floor of the convenience store suddenly gathered together as if they had life, forming a water wall in the air, blocking Xiao Ran.

The mutants hit the wall of water and were bounced back.

"That's amazing!" exclaimed a customer hiding in the corner.

Ah Ze ignored him and continued to control the water flow, forming a protective barrier to separate Xiao Ran from the mutant. "Xiao Ran!" Su Wanqing took the opportunity to rush to Xiao Ran's side and check his injuries. "You've been bitten!"

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's okay, just a superficial wound." The mutant's teeth left a circle of deep marks on his arm, and blood kept flowing out.

"This isn't an ordinary wound!" Su Wanqing said anxiously, "The mutant's saliva might carry the source of infection!"

"I know." Xiao Ran forced himself to stand up straight, "Let's solve the current problem first."

Although Aze's water wall temporarily blocked the mutants, more mutants were pouring in from outside the store and constantly attacking the water wall.

The water began to tremble, and it was obvious that Aze's strength was weakening.

"I can't hold on for much longer." Aze's forehead was covered with sweat, and his voice was tense. "We need a plan."

Su Wanqing looked around, looking for a possible way out. The front door of the convenience store had been blocked by mutants, and the back door led to the warehouse, but that was a dead end.

Her eyes fell on the counter.

"There!" She pointed behind the counter. "The clerk just escaped from there. There must be an employee passage!"

Xiao Ran nodded: "Good idea. Aze, how long can you keep it up?"

"One minute at most." Aze's voice began to tremble, and his arms were shaking slightly.

"Enough." Xiao Ran took a deep breath and turned to the customers shivering in the corner. "Everyone, follow us! Retreat behind the counter!"

The customers hesitated for a moment, and then under Xiao Ran's firm gaze, they moved towards the counter one by one.

Xiao Ran and Su Wanqing stayed behind to ensure everyone passed safely.

The pressure that Aze used to control the water flow began to weaken, and the mutants felt the weakening of the barrier and attacked more fiercely.

A particularly tall mutant crashed into the wall of water, causing a splash that nearly broke through the barrier.

"Aze!" Su Wanqing saw that his face was pale and his hands began to tremble. "Hold on!"

Aze didn't answer, all his energy was focused on controlling the water flow.

Sweat rolled down his cheeks and his lips turned white from the exertion.

The last customer finally entered the passage behind the counter. Xiao Ran turned around and shouted, "Aze! Get out!"

Aze nodded and began to retreat. The moment he turned around, the water wall collapsed and the mutants rushed over with roars.

"Run!" Xiao Ran pushed Aze and faced the mutant, taking a fighting stance.

Aze staggered back behind the counter. Su Wanqing grabbed his arm and dragged him into the passage.

Aze turned around and saw Xiao Ran knock down a mutant with one punch, then quickly turned around and followed them into the passage.

The passage was not long, and at the end was an iron door. The customer at the front had already opened the door and rushed out.

Others followed closely behind, scrambling to escape danger.

Just as the three were about to reach the door, a scream was heard behind them.

They looked back and saw a little girl falling to the ground. Her mother tried to pull her up, but the mutants had already chased her to the entrance of the passage.

"Mom!" the little girl cried, her eyes full of fear.

Xiao Ran didn't hesitate at all and immediately turned back. He rushed to the little girl, picked her up, and handed her to her mother: "Take her away! Quick!"

The woman nodded gratefully and rushed to the exit with her daughter in her arms. Xiao Ran turned to face the mutant, but he was exhausted, and the pain from his wounds slowed his reaction.

A mutant lunged at him, its sharp nails slicing across his chest, tearing through his clothes and skin.
