End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 5 Zombies
The woman, with disheveled hair, a face as pale as paper, a blank look in her eyes, and an inarticulate roar, lunged straight at the crowd. Her movements were strange and twisted, unlike those of a normal person. More like... a zombie from a movie!
"Zombies!" Uncle Li was a veteran after all, having experienced many life-and-death situations. He was the first to react. He grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand and growled, "Go!"
The supermarket erupted in chaos, with screams of terror echoing one after another. People fled frantically, shelves were knocked over, and goods were scattered all over the floor. Fan Mengmeng was frightened pale by this sudden change. Although she knew the apocalypse was coming, she still felt an unprecedented fear when she actually faced the zombies.
"Don't be afraid, follow me!" Uncle Li held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly and struggled to make his way through the crowded crowd. He was tall and strong, and he forcibly cut a path through the crowd.
More and more "people" turned into zombies, frantically attacking the living around them. The supermarket was in chaos, and the smell of blood filled the air. Fan Mengmeng and Uncle Li were squeezed in the crowd, unable to move.
"Ah!" A young woman was thrown to the ground by a zombie, and her shrill screams echoed throughout the supermarket. Fan Mengmeng was terrified. She had never seen such a horrific scene before. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited.
"Don't look!" Uncle Li covered Fan Mengmeng's eyes with his hands and protected her behind him.
Boss Zhang stood behind the cashier, his face pale as he watched the chaotic scene unfold. He had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos by raising prices and making a killing, but he hadn't expected something like this to happen. Trembling, he picked up the phone to call the police, but found the call was blocked.
"Xiao Wang! Go and close the door!" Boss Zhang yelled at Xiao Wang, his employee who was hiding in the corner.
Xiao Wang turned pale with fear and stammered, "Boss... I... I don't dare..."
"Waste!" Boss Zhang cursed angrily and rushed over to close the supermarket's rolling shutter door, but found that it was blocked by several zombies.
At this moment, a zombie pounced towards Boss Zhang...
Fan Mengmeng and Uncle Li finally squeezed to the supermarket door, but found that the shutter was only half closed. Several zombies were frantically banging on the shutter, trying to get in. The door was crowded with people trying to escape, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Uncle Li protected Fan Mengmeng and moved towards the door with difficulty. Suddenly, a zombie rushed over from the side. Uncle Li pushed Fan Mengmeng away, but was knocked to the ground by the zombie.
"Uncle Li!" Fan Mengmeng shouted in horror.
Uncle Li struggled hard, but the zombie was incredibly strong. He was pinned to the ground, and the zombie's sharp claws were about to pierce his neck...
Fan Mengmeng's heart sank, and despair washed over her. In this critical moment, she suddenly remembered a mechanical device she had seen in ancient texts. Her "interpretation of the past and present" ability not only allowed her to travel through time and space, but also granted her the unique ability to absorb knowledge across time and space. At that moment, the supermarket shelves, the scattered goods, even the ceiling lights, all became useful mechanical parts in her eyes.
A simple barrier quickly formed in her mind. She needed a fulcrum, a weight, and some rope to connect them. Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, spotting a toppled shelf, several unopened cartons of mineral water, and packaging ropes scattered on the ground.
"Uncle Li, hold on!" Fan Mengmeng yelled, grabbed the packaging rope on the ground, and tied the mineral water together with incredible speed, then tied the other end of the rope to the top of the tilted shelf. She pulled hard, and the heavy mineral water box was lifted up and swayed in mid-air.
With a loud bang, Fan Mengmeng suddenly loosened the rope in her hand, and the mineral water tank fell heavily, hitting the zombie that was pressing on Uncle Li. The zombie let out a roar and was knocked over by the huge impact.
Uncle Li got up from the ground and looked at Fan Mengmeng in shock, his eyes full of disbelief: "Mengmeng, you..."
Fan Mengmeng didn't have time to explain. She grabbed Uncle Li's hand and said anxiously, "Uncle Li, let's go!"
The supermarket was still in chaos. Screams, roars, and the sounds of things breaking intertwined, creating a scene reminiscent of hell on earth. Mr. Li looked at the people fleeing in terror around him, then at the overflowing shopping cart behind Fan Mengmeng, and an inner struggle gripped him. He was a veteran, his commitment to defending his country ingrained in him. He couldn't stand by and watch these people being tormented by the zombies.
"Mengmeng, you go quickly, I'll stay and help them!" Uncle Li said resolutely.
Fan Mengmeng hesitated. These supplies, which she had painstakingly gathered, were the guarantee for her and Uncle Li's survival in the apocalypse. If she gave up now, she would have to start all over again. However, looking at Uncle Li's determined eyes, she couldn't bring herself to let him escape alone.
"Uncle Li, but..." Fan Mengmeng bit her lip, feeling extremely conflicted.
At this moment, more zombies poured into the supermarket, and the situation became even more critical. Uncle Li grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand and said firmly, "Mengmeng, let's go first! Only by saving our lives can we have the opportunity to help more people!"
Fan Mengmeng looked at Uncle Li and finally nodded. She knew Uncle Li was right. Now was not the time to be a hero. They had to survive first.
Fan Mengmeng's eyes swept around again, and she noticed an inconspicuous small passage in the corner of the supermarket, which was usually used to transport goods, but now it was ignored by the panicked crowd.
"Uncle Li, this way!" Fan Mengmeng said, pointing to the small passage.
Uncle Li glanced at the small passage, then at the fallen mineral water tank. An idea flashed through his mind. He grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand and whispered, "Mengmeng, let's..." He paused, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "Let's get all the remaining mineral water down!"
Fan Mengmeng understood what Uncle Li meant. Although reluctant, she knew now was not the time to hesitate. Together, they tied the remaining boxes of mineral water to the fallen shelves, then pulled hard, lifting even more boxes high into the air.
"Are you ready?" Uncle Li asked in a deep voice.
Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and nodded.
"Let go!" Uncle Li gave an order, and Fan Mengmeng loosened the rope in her hand.
boom!
More mineral water tanks crashed down, making a deafening sound, knocking the incoming zombies to the ground. The supermarket was suddenly in chaos, with the zombies' roars, the sounds of broken objects, and the screams of people mixing together, making people's eardrums numb.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fan Mengmeng and Uncle Li quickly entered the inconspicuous passage. The passage was narrow, dark, and filled with a musty smell, but for them at this moment, it was the hope of life.
The two of them moved quickly through the passage, the zombies' roars growing farther and farther away. Finally, they saw the light of the exit.
"We're out!" Fan Mengmeng shouted excitedly.
However, when they rushed out of the passage and saw the scene outside, the smiles on their faces froze instantly.
The once bustling crowds on the streets were gone, replaced by staggering, hideous-looking zombies, some of them wandering aimlessly, while others were chasing after the surviving humans, emitting creepy roars.
Fan Mengmeng's heart sank suddenly, and a feeling of despair once again surged in her heart. They finally escaped from the supermarket, but found that the whole city was in crisis.
"Uncle Li..." Fan Mengmeng's voice trembled a little.
Uncle Li held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination: "Mengmeng, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
They walked carefully on the street, trying to avoid the wandering zombies. The street was littered with scattered items, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people nauseous.
Suddenly, Fan Mengmeng's eyes fell on a building across the street. It was a three-story building with mottled walls and closed windows. It seemed relatively safe.
"Uncle Li, look there!" Fan Mengmeng said, pointing to the small building.
Uncle Li followed Fan Mengmeng's gaze and saw the small building. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Let's go and take a look."
The two of them slowly approached the small building. It was eerily quiet, with only the soft sound of their footsteps. Fan Mengmeng's heartbeat grew faster and faster. She clutched Uncle Li's hand tightly, her palms wet with sweat.
They arrived at the door of the small building, which was tightly closed with a rusty iron lock. Uncle Li tried pushing the door, but it didn't budge.
"It seems we have to find a way to get in." Uncle Li said in a low voice.
Fan Mengmeng looked around, searching for something useful. Suddenly, she saw a trash can next to the small building. There seemed to be something useful in it... She reached out and slowly lifted the lid of the trash can.
