"Ah…"
At the critical moment, Bai Ru finally couldn't help but let out a scream, and rolled down on the dusty ground in panic, letting the living corpse that was determined to win bite him. However, a pair of dark claws grabbed Bai Ru's beautiful legs wearing jeans.
A living corpse is not picky about food. It seemed to be very excited when touching Bai Ru's elastic long legs. The big mouth that it had just bitten once again reached an unimaginable extent and bit Bai Ru's thigh without politeness. There was also a delicious thigh artery there.
"go to hell啊..."
With a "Plop" sound, just when the living corpse's mouth was almost touching Bai Ru's thigh, Bai Ru let out a hysterical cry, touched the long frozen meat knife on the ground, and inserted it into the living corpse's eye socket. She didn't know where she got the courage. She no longer thought the frozen meat knife was dirty, so she grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands and turned it in a circle.
"Woo..."
The living corpse let out a low roar from its throat, seeming to be full of unwillingness, but then, its body, which was still struggling, seemed to have been suddenly removed from the battery behind its back. The whole body was instantly frozen in one movement, and it stared blankly at the beauty beneath it with one eye, its expression seemed to be quite doubtful.
"Ah…"
Bai Ru let out another cry of panic, trying with all her strength to break free from the smelly embrace of the living corpse. However, even though the living corpse had died tragically, it still held her tightly, like an old lover she hadn't seen for a long time, and even wanted to hug Bai Ru into its body.
Jack, who had finally finished smoking a cigarette, walked up and stepped on the elbow joint of the living corpse. With a slight exertion, there was a frightening sound of bone cracking from the elbow of the living corpse. Bai Ru, who had worked in vain for a long time, finally pulled out her legs as she wished. She kicked her legs in panic and quickly retreated to the corner. After a while, her eyes became red, and her tears kept rolling down like broken pearls.
With tears streaming down her face, Bai Ru huddled helplessly in the corner, looking at Jack with an indifferent expression as he stepped on the head of a living corpse and pulled out the frozen meat knife. Like a child who had been greatly wronged, she angrily yelled at Jack, "Why don't you save me? Why?"
"Do I have an obligation to save you? Who said you won't eat for free?" Jack said a word without looking back. He bent down and wiped the frozen meat knife in his hands on the clothes of the living corpse. Then he walked over and squatted in front of Bai Ru, who looked indignant. He reached out and pinched her pointed chin, and pulled her face He forced himself towards the living corpse lying on the ground, pointed at it and said expressionlessly, "Don't think that you are a beautiful woman. Men should save you. He only had to catch you lightly just now. In an hour or two, you will become as scary and disgusting as him. Then what use is your beautiful Thomas face?"
Jack let go of Bai Ru, who was still breathing heavily, stood up, looked at her condescendingly and said, "Don't forget, this is no longer the past. There are many men in this world who will push you into a group of corpses in order to survive. Therefore, the only one who can save you is yourself. Never count on others, and I am no exception."
After saying that, Jack ignored the complicated look on Bai Ru's face and walked slowly to the double fire door at the end of the corridor with his knife in hand. He listened at the crack of the door for a moment, and then gently turned the door lock. He frowned, turned to Boss Hu who was probing his head on the other side of the corridor and said, "Look for anything like a steel crowbar. This door is locked."
"Master Lin... no need, this man should have a key on him." Rui Li grabbed Boss Hu's clothes and walked out carefully from behind him. Pointing at a mutilated corpse whose head was decapitated by Jack, she said, "Looking at his clothes, he should be that of the previous warehouse manager. The key might be on him."
"Old Hu, go up and feel it!" Jack nodded and said to Boss Hu at the corner.
"Alright!" Boss Hu didn't hesitate this time; he had often searched through incomplete corpses before and wasn't afraid at all. He still had that bit of courage.
Soon, after Boss Hu finished checking the pockets of the female corpse dressed in a dark red uniform, he lifted her shirt and, sure enough, a large bunch of keys was hanging from her belt. He quickly grabbed the keys and happily ran over to hand them to Jack, saying, "This saves us a lot of trouble!"
Jack took the keys and compared them to the lock on the fire door, surprisingly finding six or seven keys that looked the same. However, he noticed that the third key had a label marked "Big Warehouse."
Jack gently inserted the key into the keyhole, turned it slightly, and indeed the lock turned, until it made a very soft "click" sound. Only then did Jack grab the doorknob and turn back to whisper to Boss Hu, "Old Hu, stand to the left. If more than two things come out, just open fire!"
"Oh... oh..." Boss Hu nodded nervously, holding the gun close to the left wall. He glanced at the shotgun in his hand and suddenly remembered that he hadn't loaded the bullet yet. Under Jack's slightly furrowed brow, he awkwardly pulled back the gun's action.
"Old Hu, you go to the back; I can handle it here!"
Seeing Boss Hu's clumsy gun-holding posture, Bai Ru, who had already wiped her tears and stood up, walked over. Boss Hu naturally had no objections and hurriedly stepped aside, pretending to be generous as he moved in front of Ryan Li, pulling her behind him for protection.
"I'm sorry for what happened earlier; I lost my composure!"
After Bai Ru took Boss Hu's position, she took the gun off her back and leaned it against the wall, looking at Jack with slightly red eyes. Jack said nothing, just shook his head lightly, then raised one hand with a knife and slowly pushed open the heavy double fire door.
"Creak~"
After a long time without being opened, the fire door emitted a grating sound, and surprisingly, not a single zombie lunged at him; instead, a faint light shone from inside.
Jack slowly pulled the door open just wide enough for a person to pass through, cautiously standing outside to look inside. He immediately realized why this storage room was called a large warehouse; it was indeed spacious and very tall, with an estimated area of over a thousand square feet.
There were five stories of thick shelves, each over a person's height, filled to the brim with various goods. Most importantly, even though not a single light was on, the roof made of colored steel had a hole of moderate size, broken by something unknown. Although it was still quite dim, the sunlight streaming in from outside was enough to allow a glimpse of the warehouse's environment.
"No zombies?"
After observing for a moment, Jack furrowed his brow, and his expression suggested he couldn't understand why there were no zombies here at all.
"Isn't it great that there are no zombies!" Bai Ru, standing behind Jack, said with a hint of surprise and excitement, "The supplies here should be enough for us to eat carefully for two years, right?"
Jack ignored Bai Ru's words and continued to observe for a while. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he inserted the frozen meat knife into the door handle, took out his handgun, raised it, and said, "Don't let your guard down; I feel something is off about this place!"
"What's wrong?" Bai Ru asked, a bit puzzled, but she tightened her grip on the shotgun. Jack's display of experience made her admire him wholeheartedly, contrasting sharply with his cowardly behavior last night, enough to make her pride subside!
"This fire door can only be locked from the outside. If there are no zombies inside, why wouldn't the warehouse manager stay inside? Instead, they chose the more dangerous corridor with no food?" Jack turned slightly to glance at Bai Ru, knowing from instinct that this place was definitely fraught with danger.
"So, should we go in or not?" Bai Ru bit her lip, hesitantly asking.
"You are responsible for what's behind you." Jack did not directly answer Bai Ru's question, but stepped directly into the warehouse door with his gun in hand.
Jack glanced back and forth at the rows of neatly stacked shelves around him. Not only were there a large amount of vacuum-packed food, but also some electrical appliances such as televisions were also stacked here. However, as he slowly stepped into the depths of the warehouse, he became more and more alert. The boxes in the back were no longer as neatly stacked as in front of the door. It was obvious that someone had violently squeezed them into a mess. Not only were there a lot of black stains on each carton, but the claw marks of living corpses were also clearly visible.
Jack's brows were deeply furrowed into the word "chuan". Although this place was very weird, and there were obviously many living corpses that had stayed here, but now he couldn't see any of them. He didn't know what the problem was. How could those living corpses disappear so well?
However, as an apocalypse human being seeking to survive, Jack is very clear about the survival rules of apocalypse. The first rule is to put away your curiosity. The weirder the place, the greater the danger. This rule has saved his life more than once, and now, he also has the intention to exit.
