Chapter 436: Apocalypse Trading System (8)

And what surprised them most was a box of deodorizer next to the medical kit.

Looking at the instructions on the packaging, just twist off the lid and place it in the space that needs deodorizing to quickly purify the air and remove odors.

"This is so useful!"

"Everything is useful!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Everything here is incredibly precious and super useful to us!"

"That was a Thunder Ability user just now, right? But how did she know we needed these?"

"Maybe she's a little fairy sent by the heavens to save us."

"I don't know if she's a little fairy, but it's true she saved us! Next time I meet her, I'm going to kowtow to her three times!"

"I'll kowtow to her five times!"

"..."

"Oh, stop comparing that, my sister says my nephew's head is out, hurry, hurry, hurry! Watch the video, what do we do next?"

"Don't rush, give Sister Qianqian this to drink first, it says it prevents hemorrhaging."

"Yes, yes, yes! If we're too slow and can't stop the bleeding in time, it'll be a disaster!"

After a flurry of chaos, the cry of a baby broke the stillness of the afternoon.

Just as the wandering Zombies were closing in on the shop again, a small alarm clock flew out from the shop and landed straight in the green belt thirty meters away.

The Zombies followed the blaring alarm sound and wobbled away from the shop.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison and collapsed onto the ground.

Delivering a baby for a pregnant woman—an unprecedented experience, tense, stressful, exhausting, but magical.

They had personally welcomed a little life into this world where order had collapsed but warmth still remained.

In the car, Yu Baozhi looked back at the direction of the shop and sighed softly:

"If it weren't for these damn monsters, what woman would need to escape with a big belly? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda; you did the right thing, daughter! We should help them if we have the ability. I hope the Bodhisattva sees our kindness and guides kind-hearted people to help your father and the others if they run into trouble."

Xie Yang nodded.

But this time, it really wasn't because she was kind-hearted.

It was because the Main System said that if she hadn't come, the Sub-system would have bound with Xie Ming, thereby stealing the spotlight on the way to the Safe Base and indirectly saving this survival squad.

And her arrival had intercepted Xie Ming's opportunity, but also indirectly caused the survival squad, who should have been saved by Xie Ming's unintentional act, to fall into a desperate situation.

Looking at it this way, as crazy as Xie Ming is, he still did some good deeds?

【In the early stages, he just loved to show off, but in the later stages, he relied on the Sub-system to do whatever he wanted. Not only did he become a king in the apocalypse and build a harem, but he also used improper means to plunder women to be members of his harem, killing many innocent people for this. He indulged in personal pleasure and was indifferent to the people of this plane who were in deep water.】

Xie Yang raised an eyebrow: "So, this plane is another one that collapsed and restarted?"

Main System: 【...】

It heard deep mockery in its Host's words.

"It's not that I'm complaining, but your system's factory quality control really needs to be tightened."

【...】

City East District Government Square.

A Small Bread van, so dirty its original color was unrecognizable and covered in dents from collisions, was parked next to the green belt at the edge of the square.

The two people in the car were Xie Yongcheng and his son.

They were covered in the blood and filth of Zombies, looking as disheveled as the van. But precisely because of this, the Zombies thought they were their own kind, and as long as they didn't speak too loudly, the Zombies wandering the square didn't notice them.

"Dad, have some water." Xie Yan unscrewed the cap of the Mineral Water bottle and handed it over.

Xie Yongcheng turned his head away and didn't take it: "Dad isn't thirsty, you drink."

"How can you not be thirsty? You haven't touched water since yesterday afternoon." Xie Yan insisted he drink.

Xie Yongcheng pursed his lips, took the bottle, and drank a small sip.

The two of them only had this one bottle of water left in their hands.

This was something they had found in a gas station convenience store.

Since the apocalypse began, the convenience store had long been picked clean; it was a mess inside, with shelves either empty or toppled over. This bottle of water must have rolled behind the door as the shelves collapsed and gone unnoticed, only to benefit the father and son.

"Dad, why don't I drive? You rest for a while, your eyes are bloodshot."

Xie Yan saw his father's eyes were full of bloodshot veins and suggested it with a pained heart.

Xie Yongcheng didn't agree: "You only passed the first subject of the exam and haven't learned to drive on the road yet; it's too dangerous. I'll drive, you just watch the road. We have to speed up; your mother and sister are still waiting for us at the Seven Star Street Foreign Trade Building. It's very close to the commercial street; every day we delay adds another layer of danger."

"Then rest for a few more minutes, and we'll set off," Xie Yan said worriedly.

His father hadn't rested much for several days; he drove whenever the road conditions were good, and when the road conditions were bad, he had to get out of the car to avoid Zombies or take a detour.

He regretted that he had only focused on playing during the summer vacation after the College Entrance Examination; he had signed up for driving school but only had time to pass the first subject.

If he had known earlier that there would be an apocalypse, he wouldn't have gone anywhere that summer; he would have just focused on getting his driver's license and helping his family hoard more water and food.

Unfortunately, money can't buy foresight.

There is no regret medicine in this world.

Xie Yongcheng leaned against the seat back and closed his eyes for a while. Three minutes later, he opened his eyes and, taking advantage of the lack of Zombies nearby, started the car to prepare for departure.

Suddenly, a commotion appeared at the intersection opposite.

Cries for help, footsteps, and crashing sounds were chaotic and complex.

This attracted quite a few Zombies, who wandered over from all directions.

"Damn it!"

The Small Bread van couldn't get out.

Xie Yongcheng was both angry and anxious, yet he kept in mind the lessons learned previously—he must not pound the steering wheel even if it killed him, lest the horn sound attract Zombies.

Xie Yan frowned and stared at the intersection ahead: "Are they crazy! Why would they make such a huge commotion!"

After a pause, he suppressed an exclamation and whispered: "Dad, look at that!"

A streak of red firelight shot into the sky, and Fireballs the size of balls were thrown at the Zombies, instantly burning a whole group to death.

Cheers erupted from the crowd:

"Cui Ge, well done!"

"As expected, Fire Element Ability is the most awesome!"

"That depends on who is using it; the day before yesterday, I met a Fire Ability User whose sparks were so weak they could only light a cigarette."

"Hahahaha! Lao Deng, you are too mean!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Cui Ge, surrounded and praised like the moon among stars, said with great satisfaction: "This might have to do with everyone's constitution. Alright, everyone hurry and find a safe place to stay; there are too many Zombies here, it is not suitable to stay long."

Then, this group of people ran toward the direction where Xie Yongcheng and his son were.

From time to time, Cui Ge turned back to throw a Fireball at the group of Zombies following them.

However, the commotion just now was truly too loud, attracting Zombies that had been wandering who knows where before.

The District Government Square, which originally only had a few Zombies, suddenly became a gathering place for Zombies.

Some Zombies smelled the scent of living people inside the van and surrounded it; some climbed onto the vehicle, some blocked the doors, and the van was completely blocked off.

Xie Yongcheng's face turned livid.
