Kapitel 22: Finally Being Clean!

After entering the fourth floor, Lu Wuqi asked the system in her mind to scan for anything in her surroundings and fortunately she didn't hear any system notification.

After they came infront of the large shelf which still had quite a few supplies and many imported snacks bars,

Lu Wuqi told Yun Qingyue to wait here with the child and eat the snacks bars on the shelves to fill stomach while she will go inside to check the situation and see if there's any zombies.

There were rows of large glass windows in the innermost part of the third floor. The bright moonlight pours in through them and illuminates the whole surroundings and makes it much easier for Lu Wuqi and others to see.

The whole third floor was extremely messy with scattered foods all over the floor, many upturned shelves. A lot of people must have come here in search of supplies including thugs, otherwise the state of this floor wouldn't have been this bad.

But thankfully a lot supplies were still left. After all, a large supermarket like this with so many shells has a lot of packaged or canned foods, instant noodles etc. Even if many people came to look for supplies, they could only take so much with them.

After seeing that the inside seemed relatively safe, Lu Wuqi quickly went back to the large glass door and found a broken part of a wooden shelf and stuck it in between the steel handles of the door. She stuck quite a few more long pieces of those wooden parts of the shelves to ensure that someone can't break in that easily. And even if someone or something does try to come in, it would make enough noise to make them alert.

After doing all this, She immediately came infront of Yun Qingyue and said,

"Okay. Now this place should be relatively safe for the time being. You two eat the snacks bars here to fill your stomach. You must be hungry after all this. Let me check ahead and I also need to wash myself slightly, otherwise we can't go long with this nasty smell."

After hearing her words, Yun Qingyue nodded in reply and Lu Wuqi was about to turn around but her eyes involuntarily went towards Yun Qingyue's hands and saw the few bloody wounds on them. The wounds have already stopped bleeding probably because most of it was just skin injury but Lu Wuqi still felt distressed seeing it.

She immediately turned around and said to Yun Qingyue,

"Wait a minute."

Then she again turned back to look around the shelves but didn't find anything that would help her bandage them. She immediately walked around the few intact shelves and fortunately, one of the shelf had large water bottles stacked up. It could be seen that a few packs of water bottles were missing which meant that whoever came before them took it.

The water bottles were about 2 litres each and each large pack had six of them. Lu Wuqi counted and found that there were exactly 5 such large packs on the shelf. It seems that their water problem has been solved for the time being.

Lu Wuqi took out one bottle from one of the packs and went towards the front desk because there should be an emergency medical kit there.

And she found it. Right on the wall behind the counter of the front desk, beside a medium sized painting was a wooden box of emergency medical kit. Lu Wuqi immediately opened the small wooden box and found a few sterile gauzes and bandages as well as an antiseptic cream.

Lu Wuqi came back to Yun Qingyue with these and handed these to her and said,

"Keep these. Let me wash my hands first then I will bandage the wounds for you."

Yun Qingyue was confused at first about what Lu Wuqi was doing but seeing her still remember the wound on her hands and she even wanted to bandage them for her, all of this made Yun Qingyue feel a little weird in her heart but also strangely warm.

But Yun Qingyue didn't think about it anymore and immediately denied by saying,

"No. It's okay. It's just some skin injury. It will heal naturally. I will just wash my hands with some water."

Lu Wuqi immediately denied after hearing her answer and said seriously,

"No. Leaving the wounds can easily cause infection. Don't worry. I know fast aid very well. I will do it right after washing up slightly."

After saying this, Lu Wuqi didn't wait for Yun Qingyue's reply anymore and placed the things right infront of her and immediately turned around to go towards the shelf which had the five packs of water bottles on them.

Yun Qingyue couldn't say anything and could only watch Lu Wuqi's back as she went towards the other shelves but she felt a strange warm current flowing through her heart and couldn't help but have a slight smile on her usual cold face. This slight smile made her look even more beautiful, almost like a heavenly fairy trapped in mortal world. Had Lu Wuqi seen her like this ,she definitely would have had trouble breathing properly. After all, she just looked too beautiful.

At this time, Yun Qingyue put down Yunyue from her arms as she felt tired after holding her for so long. Yunyue was also very sensible and stood quitely with her two little legs beside her mother.

Yun Qingyue turned towards Yunyue and said in a soft motherly voice,

"My baby must be hungry, right? Let's eat these snacks bars for now."

On the other hand, Lu Wuqi walked towards the water bottles and maybe because she has relaxed slightly in this relatively safe place, the smell on her body seemed to have become even more unbearable. The nasty fishy smell was so strong that Lu Wuqi felt like vomiting.

She quickly walked towards the water bottles and immediately took the four large packs of water battles into her space with a single thought. The remaining one was the one she cut open before. She kept the remaining five water bottles in this large pack mainly to wash herself and to drink.

Lu Wuqi took these five bottles to the front desk and went behind the counter. She saw that there was a few clean towels placed on the inside of the counter and immediately took them.

Afterwards, Lu Wuqi didn't waste any more time and Immediately took off all her outer clothings leaving only her undergarments. She took one clean towel, unscrewed one water bottle, completely wet the towel with water and started wiping her entire body with it.

She wiped her face off of the stinky bloodstains as well as her hands and after a few wipes, the towel couldn't be used anymore. She immediately took another clean towel and again wiped her whole body with it. After doing all this, Lu Wuqi could finally breath properly as the blood was completely wiped clean and except for a slight fishy smell, Lu Wuqi didn't feel anything.

The strange fishy smell was lot less than before and Lu Wuqi felt particularly refreshed. She kept the remaining two clean towels in her space as well as the remaining four bottles.

She took out the lether jacket that she previously took from the third floor as well as the shirt. Her pant was in a relatively good condition with only a few small blood stains but she has already wiped those away with the wet towel before.

Lu Wuqi put on her pants and the shirt as well as the lether jacket and felt particularly clean now.

After doing all this, she walked back towards Yun Qingyue and the child.

Yun Qingyue was sitting in the ground with the child and they both were eating two chocolate bars each, like two little hamsters, stuffing food into their little mouths making the scene looked even funnier.
