Awooo, there are little zombies today too.

Chapter 147 The Woman and Child in the Bridal Shop

"what--"

Another half-grown body fell from mid-air, turned into a pile of ash, hit the ground and scattered.

Under the iron-blooded methods of Yu Qingyin and Ji Yanli, the zombies were wiped out, and the haze in the mall dissipated.

Lin Yucheng's eyes fell on the small ball of ashes, and a hint of bitterness rose in his heart.

Before the shadow of doomsday loomed, these young lives should have grown up carefree in the laughter of the kindergarten, enjoying the warm embrace of their parents.

Yu Qingyin held Lin Yuqing's hand tightly and spoke calmly.

"Okay, now that everything has been cleaned up, we need to speed up and collect all the supplies in the mall, then quickly move on to the next target."

Yu Qingyin pulled Ji Yanli and quickly went up to the fifth floor, where they bought out all the clothes in the children's clothing store. Then, like ghosts traveling through the end of the world, they quickly ran to the next store.

After two hours of intense struggle, they stopped in front of a bridal shop and their pace slowed down involuntarily.

Lin Yucheng rubbed his brows tiredly, "Boss, do you want to put these wedding dresses into the space? I don't think they are warm enough, how about forgetting it?"

Ji Yanli's eyes inadvertently swept across Yu Qingyin, and her beautiful figure in a wedding dress suddenly appeared in his mind. His voice was full of unquestionable firmness: "Go in."

They pushed open the door of the bridal shop and were greeted by several zombies in work clothes. They staggered towards them. Probably because there were no other zombies coming in, these zombies were still low-level zombies and were easily taken care of by the men in a few moves.

Ji Yanli waved his hand and put all the wedding dresses in the display cabinets on the first floor into the space, and went straight to the second floor.

The wedding dresses on the second floor are even more dazzling, including Chinese red bridal veils, Western white wedding dresses, and elegant cheongsams from the Republic of China period, each one is exquisite.

As soon as they approached, the zombies hiding in the wedding dress, waiting for an opportunity, staggered towards them and attacked, but were also easily subdued by them.

Ji Yanli put the clean wedding dress into the space, and the few of them went up to the third floor. The wedding dresses on the third floor were even more exquisite, all custom-made and kept in locked cupboards.

He did not miss any of the seasonal banquet gifts and stored them all in the space.

They continued to go up and reached the fourth floor, but found that the door was blocked by a heavy object. Lin Yucheng tried several times, but the door did not move at all.

Yu Qingyin gently placed her hand on the door, and the wooden door instantly broke into pieces. Outside the door, a woman in thick down jackets and a little boy stood in front of them, both of them looking a little embarrassed.

The woman protected the child behind her and watched Yu Qingyin and her group vigilantly. Her hand holding the wooden stick could not help but tremble with fear.

Lin Yucheng was a little surprised and said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, we didn't expect there was someone inside. It was our negligence to break in. But since the door was destroyed by us, in order to compensate, we will find a safer place for you. Do you think it's okay?"

When the woman heard the human language, tears fell without warning, and the wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Please take us to the base, please~"

Lin Yucheng looked at Ji Yanli and when he saw Ji Yanli nod, he replied, "Of course, after all, it was us who destroyed your safe house, so we should take you to a new safe house."

Lin Yuqing said softly: "If you have anything you want to take away, please pack it up as soon as possible. We are going to the next place."

Hearing this, the woman quickly packed up the water and food that were placed in the corner.

“Excuse me, are there any people with fire-related superpowers among you?” Her voice was filled with hope.

Everyone exchanged glances, not knowing why she asked that. Lin Yucheng said vigilantly, "Yes, it's me."

The woman's eyes lit up when she looked at Lin Yucheng, "Then can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Although Lin Yucheng was confused, he still agreed.

Everyone followed the woman downstairs. She searched carefully on every floor and finally stopped in front of a man in a suit in the corner. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

The man was holding a schoolbag tightly in his hand. The outer cover of the schoolbag had been stained with blood so that the original color could not be seen. The zipper was half open, and one could vaguely see a few packets of snacks and some bread crumbs inside.

The woman rushed over crying, ignoring the blood and dirty rotten flesh on the man, and hugged the man tightly in her arms.

The little boy who was held by Lin Yuqing seemed to sense something. When he saw the man's blurry face clearly, his lips curled up and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"Dad~Dad~Woo woo woo~"

The little boy's cries echoed in the silent air.

Lin Yuqing's eyes became sore and she turned away, not wanting to watch this scene of life and death anymore. Yu Qingyin patted her shoulder gently and, quoting Taoist Qingwei's words, life and death are the laws of nature and should be faced calmly.

It wasn't until the woman's voice became hoarse and her tears seemed to have run out that she gradually calmed down.

The woman reluctantly let go of the man's body, her body shaking slightly. She steadied herself and stood up firmly. She strode towards Lin Yucheng and knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the little boy also knelt on the ground.

"Please help me cremate my husband's body." Her voice trembled a little, but her eyes were firm. She wanted to preserve the last bit of dignity of her husband.

Lin Yucheng instinctively wanted to avoid it, but then quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, I promise you, you get up first." For him, this was just a simple thing to do.

A glimmer of joy appeared in the woman's eyes. "Thank you so much." As she spoke, she took out an urn from her backpack.

Lin Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the woman and the little boy stand up. Being knelt down by someone older than him would shorten his life, and he didn't want to do that.

Lin Yucheng raised his hand, and a fireball flew out from his palm, landing accurately on the man's body, and the flames burned fiercely.

The flames reflected on the woman's face, and her tears fell silently again.

Dong Yang, you can go with peace of mind. I will take good care of our son and try my best to live on and live up to your expectations.

As the flame burned out, the woman silently stepped forward, carefully placed the ashes into the urn, and put it in the schoolbag she was carrying.

"We can go."

On the way to another shopping mall, they learned from the woman that when the end of the world came, the woman’s husband did not initially turn into a zombie, but in order to save the woman and children, he chose to sacrifice himself.

Even after turning into a zombie, the man did not forget to protect his wife and children. He drove all the zombies near the fourth floor down and secretly placed food and water at the door. The woman and children have survived until now relying on the supplies found by her husband.
