Chapter Eight: The Shopping Mall

"You should familiarize yourself with the attack methods of ice-type abilities first, and don't use up all your abilities at once," Long Yangyang reminded her, looking at the brightly lit sky outside. "Zombies move slowly, and I remember there's a shopping mall right across from the hotel."

"Once you're familiar with your abilities, we'll go inside and find you some clothes, and while we're at it, we'll see if we can find any weapons."

Superpowers are limited. Long Yangyang had read many post-apocalyptic novels before she transmigrated into the book, and she read even more novels on this subject after she transmigrated.

In order to improve her survival rate after the apocalypse and avoid being cannon fodder, Long Yangyang tried her best to broaden her knowledge.

Today is the first day of the apocalypse. Although the weather is hot, it is still within the range that humans can tolerate.

Then, the temperature will increase day by day. Long Yangyang remembers that the novel mentioned that the temperature remained at a high of fifty or sixty degrees Celsius until it suddenly dropped to zero degrees Celsius.

If it weren't for the fact that ordinary people who survived had their bodies modified by the Star Source Energy, humanity might have been wiped out.

In hot weather, fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs will spoil and deteriorate in less than a week.

Even vacuum-packed foods only have a shelf life of two or three months at most under such high temperatures.

The apocalypse in this novel is not just about zombies; natural disasters and man-made calamities are also rampant.

"Ah—help!" came a frantic cry for help from outside the door.

"Myanmar?" Fu Muyu asked, hearing the unfamiliar language.

Long Yangyang nodded; clearly, neither of them had any intention of going out to help.

Long Yangyang has no ability. Although according to the novel's setting, low-level zombies move slowly and can't even keep up with the running speed of an ordinary adult woman.

As long as you avoid being scratched by zombies, escaping from a low-level zombie is quite easy.

It seemed simple, but Long Yangyang was really not prepared.

Besides, they were complete strangers, and Long Yangyang wasn't so noble as to risk her life for a stranger.

As for why Fu Muyu didn't help, Long Yangyang didn't know.

The fact that the other party didn't offer any help reassured Long Yangyang, and she decided to temporarily team up with them.

After all, in the apocalypse, teammates with a saintly heart are no good.

Once the noise outside the door subsided, Fu Muyu suggested, "Shall we go out?"

"Are you familiar with your superpower?" Long Yangyang asked.

She still wanted to cling to the coattails of this powerful level-three ability user, so he had to be very supportive.

Fu Muyu nodded: "Let's go."

Fu Muyu opened the door, looked at the zombie that suddenly rushed over, and raised his hand to shoot out an ice blade.

Not dead?

Fu Muyu raised an eyebrow, looking in surprise at the zombie that could still move even after being pierced through the heart by an ice blade.

"Try a headshot. Our superhuman cores are in our brains, and zombies might be the same."

Long Yangyang certainly knew where the zombies' weaknesses lay, but she couldn't say it directly.

Exposing too much of your abnormality in front of strangers is a very unwise thing to do.

Fu Muyu looked at Long Yangyang, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Okay."

After saying that, he raised his hand and fired a precise arrow at the zombie's head, and the zombie fell to the ground with a thud.

However, even more zombies came at the sound.

The densely packed zombies almost filled the entire corridor.

Long Yangyang: "What should we do?"

Why are there so many zombies in the hotel?

"Get out."

Fu Muyu put his arm around Long Yangyang's waist and pulled the girl, who was slightly thinner than him, into his embrace.

With her other hand, she continuously conjured ice blades.

Ice blades mercilessly reaped the heads of the zombies. Fu Muyu, carrying Long Yangyang, leaped up, stepping on the zombies' bodies, and quickly ran towards the escape stairs.

Fortunately, Long Yangyang lived on the fifth floor.

It's not considered tall compared to a 15-story hotel building.

In addition, almost no one uses the stairs normally.

The two ran downstairs quickly, and their path was clear without any obstacles; they didn't encounter a single zombie.

The two rushed into the mall, and before they could even stop, four or five zombies came towards them.

Long Yangyang swung a spatial blade, slicing open the heads of two zombies.

Seeing the white brain matter splatter onto the ground, Long Yangyang, who had been holding back her nausea the whole way, could no longer bear it and turned her head to vomit right there.

"Cough-cough-"

After Long Yangyang finished vomiting, the remaining zombies had already been dealt with by Fu Muyu.

"Are you alright?" Looking at Long Yangyang's pale face, Fu Muyu, who was always cold and indifferent to the opposite sex and had no sympathy whatsoever, spoke with concern for the first time.

Long Yangyang shook her head: "It's okay, you'll get used to it."

Now is not the time for sentimentality. Long Yangyang understands that the harsh reality leaves no room for her to back down even slightly.

If I take a small step back now, I might be wiped out by the cruel apocalypse in the next moment.

The two walked all the way to the fourth floor of the men's clothing section, but didn't encounter a single salesperson.

"no one?"

Long Yangyang pouted: "You slept until the apocalypse, unaware that since the beginning of this month, there have been a number of incidents of thugs injuring people."

Most people go straight home after get off work and rarely linger in public places.

Since the apocalypse began last night, there must not have been many people lingering in the mall, otherwise Long Yangyang would not have suggested coming here.

Looking at Fu Muyu's bathrobe, whose color was now indistinguishable, Long Yangyang reminded him, "Hurry up and find some clothes to change into. Take more and put them in my space."

After Long Yangyang's spatial ability was upgraded to level two, her space expanded by another thousand square meters, freeing up a lot of space that could be used to store supplies.

"Thank you." Upon hearing Long Yangyang's words, Fu Muyu's aloofness seemed to fade, and he smiled through his peach blossom eyes.

It seemed to be the first time Long Yangyang had seen the other person's expression other than indifference. It was as if she heard the sound of spring flowers blooming. Long Yangyang stared blankly into the other person's beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong?" Fu Muyu asked when he noticed that Long Yangyang was standing there without moving.

“It’s nothing,” Long Yangyang said with a smile, “I just think, little brother, you should smile more.”

Fu Muyu put away his gentle expression and placed the clothes, which were as tall as an adult, in front of Long Yangyang: "Is this enough space for you?"

“Of course.” Long Yangyang waved her hand, and the clothes disappeared instantly. “Let’s go, let’s see if there’s anything else we can use.”

The third floor was for children's clothing, and the second floor was for women's clothing. Long Yangyang didn't even look at them and led Fu Muyu downstairs.

Long Yangyang had prepared plenty of clothes that suited her, so there was no need to collect any more.

Walking into the supermarket on the first floor, Long Yangyang looked at the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea on the shelves and put them directly into her spatial storage without even glancing at them.

The refrigerator was filled with meat, ham, yogurt, ice cream, and more. Long Yangyang didn't know the meaning of the word "polite" and put the refrigerator into the space.

Since time is frozen in this space, there's no need to worry about the expiration date.

Fruits, vegetables, milk powder, sanitary napkins, toilet paper... all sorts of things, Long Yangyang felt she needed to move the entire container along with the goods.
