I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

With Wang Meng's assist, no one present doubted Sun Xiaoyan's ability to pay anymore.

At that moment, all the suppliers came forward and handed over their business cards, hoping that Sun Xiaoyan would remember them and take good care of them in the future.

The middle-aged man, Mr. Zhang, stood there with a dejected look on his face. He looked a little dazed, and was shocked by all this.

Sun Xiaoyan accepted everyone's business cards with a smile. Seeing that the problem had been solved, he instructed his assistant to settle the bills with those suppliers who were willing to deduct 10% of the payment, and to settle the bills with the other suppliers at the original price at the end of the month.

As soon as these words were spoken, the suppliers who had caused trouble before all had bitter faces and reluctantly accepted the fact. After all, this was their own request, and there were two policemen watching on the side. Even if they wanted to cause trouble now, they couldn't.

The other suppliers were relieved and said goodbye to Sun Xiaoyan and left. Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, the two policemen also said goodbye and left.

Sun Xiaoyan was very considerate. He asked his female assistant to prepare two red envelopes, stuffed them into the two policemen's bags, thanked them repeatedly, and then sent the two policemen away.

After agreeing on the delivery time with Wang Meng, Sun Xiaoyan returned to the office exhausted and sat in the boss chair, feeling secretly grateful.

If it weren't for the lottery ticket Qin Zhong gave me, it would be difficult for me to get through this hurdle today. By then, the pharmaceutical factory left by my grandfather would probably be ruined in my hands.

When Sun Xiaoyan thought of such consequences, she couldn't help but feel cold all over, and couldn't help but feel sincerely grateful to Qin Zhong, the man from ten years later.

Sun Xiaoyan rubbed the ring on his hand and thought to himself, "I don't know what Qin Zhong is doing now. Is he still surrounded by zombies?"

……

In the apocalypse, in an underground parking lot.

Qin Zhong, who was being talked about by Sun Xiaoyan, was crawling forward one foot at a time in the dark underground garage.

As he was getting closer and closer to the safe passage, Qin Zhong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left ring finger. A big foot stepped on it. Qin Zhong gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.

This zombie is so wicked. It seems like it was wearing hard-soled leather shoes. If the entire palm was stepped on, it would not be so painful, but it only stepped on the fingertips.

As the old saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. Qin Zhong's face was shaking with pain, but he could only try his best to endure it and dared not make a sound. The zombies paused for at least three seconds before moving on to another place.

Seeing the zombies leave, Qin Zhong ignored the piercing pain in his fingers and continued to crawl forward. Soon, he crawled to the safety passage and slowly pushed open a fire door.

It was pitch black inside the fire door and nothing could be seen clearly. Qin Zhong's heart was pounding. He must not bump into anything he shouldn't in this dark corridor.

Qin Zhong gritted his teeth. The only way to survive now was to move forward. He slipped in, reached forward with his knife, pressed his back against the wall, and stepped up three or four steps before taking out a flashlight from his backpack.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Zhong turned on the flashlight to confirm that there was no light in the parking lot, so he covered his eyes with his five fingers and turned on the flashlight.

The flashlight made his fingers turn red, and a few rays of light leaked out from between his fingers, illuminating the area not far away. As soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Qin Zhong trembled all over and almost screamed.

It turned out that there was a zombie half-lying on the steps in front of him. If Qin Zhong took another step up, he would definitely step on its belly.

This was an adult male zombie, with a burly build, a sullen face, a dull expression, and a cold glint in his eyes from time to time. It was looking down at Qin Zhong. Although he had a knife in his hand, it might not be so easy to get rid of it quickly.

At this moment, Qin Zhong suddenly had an idea. He loosened his fingers and shone the flashlight into the zombie's eyes. A strange thing happened. The zombie, which was as strong as an ox, only let out half a howl and then stood still.

This discovery made Qin Zhong ecstatic. He learned this method from a survivor he had rescued before, but this was his first time trying it. Fortunately, the survivor did not lie to him.

Qin Zhong shone the flashlight into the zombie's eyes, brushed past it, retracted his hand, and rushed up a few steps. By the time the zombie reacted, Qin Zhong had already rushed to the first floor.

This exertion caused another sharp pain in his chest. Although the scrape on his knee bled a lot, it was only a superficial injury. In comparison, the internal injury to his chest was obviously much more serious.

Because the impact of the previous car crash was too great, Qin Zhong still felt pain in his chest despite the dual protection of the seat belt and airbag.

But at this moment, there is no time to rest, after all, escaping is the most important thing.

Qin Zhong looked out through the gap between the two fire doors. It turned out that this was a large shopping mall with a skylight. There were high-rise buildings on all sides. Only because the dome skylight was not closed, a ray of sunlight poured in.

The entire patio is about several thousand square meters and is arranged into an atrium garden with lush trees and flourishing flowers and plants. Green vines hang down like waterfalls on the circular corridors on all four sides. Walking in it, you feel like you are in an urban jungle.

However, at this moment, when Qin Zhong looked out, he could see the hunched figures of zombies walking through the courtyard garden shaded by flowers and trees.

After observing for a while, Qin Chong thought that such a large shopping mall could not possibly have only the zombies he saw outside. Most of the time when the zombies occurred, the customers tried their best to escape, but there were not too many zombies in the mall.

But even so, in such a large shopping mall, there are conservatively estimated to be hundreds of zombies. Qin Zhong doesn't dare to provoke so many zombies easily.

Qin Zhong thought quietly for a while and thought that the higher the floor, the fewer zombies would be trapped, so he decided to continue going up along the fire escape.

Perhaps it was the injury plus the psychological effect, but even though the sky outside was clear and sunny in autumn, Qin Zhong always felt a cold wind blowing as he walked in this closed corridor, giving him goose bumps.

On the way to the fourth floor, Qin Zhong's steps suddenly stopped. He saw two women lying on the platform at the corner, both with their vests facing outwards. It seemed that they had fled here after being attacked. Their clothes had been torn into strips, and their bodies were covered with scratches and bite marks.

Qin Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and shone the flashlight over there. He found that one of the women was still heaving slightly and seemed to have a breath left.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Zhong raised his Miao Dao and slowly approached, not sure whether she was alive or transforming into a corpse.

At this moment, the woman suddenly turned over. Her face was covered in blood, but her eyes still shone with a human light. She said in a weak voice, "Save me, please...save me."

Qin Zhong frowned as he looked at the woman, but did not go to rescue her. She was so badly injured, not to mention that he had no way to save her. Even if he rescued her, she would probably not escape the fate of turning into a zombie.

If that’s the case, why bother wasting energy trying to save them? Besides, you can’t even save yourself right now, so how can you have the ability to save others?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong could only harden his heart, raised his legs and walked upstairs again. He turned back inadvertently, but saw the woman with chapped lips, looking at him eagerly.

Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, a trace of sympathy for his fellow creatures arose in his heart. He sighed deeply and thought to himself that even if he couldn't save her, it would be good at least to let her not feel lonely when she was dying.
