章 10: Finding a Safe Place!

Lu Wuqi was a little surprised by the reaction of the child and immediately felt distressed and couldn't help but think,

"Sigh.. the original soul was really a scumbag."

Lu Wuqi looked at the crying Little Child and said in a soft voice,

"I'm not going to throw you away. Our Yunyue has grown up now, right. She is not so light anymore. Mom will get tired after holding you for soo long. Let mommy hold you, okay. You saw how Strong mommy was right. Mommy can hold Yunyue and even fight those bad guys away. Don't worry, Mommy will protect mom and Yunyue from now on."

Lu Wuqi was not only coaxing the baby but also letting Yun Qingyue know that she meant no harm and that she wanted to protect the two of them. And She could also see that Yun Qingyue was having a hard time holding Yunyue and follow her in such a dark environment.

"Let's go." Lu Wuqi said softly to them and started walking forward.

Yun Qingyue was really confused and anxious about Lu Wuqi today. Her every actions and even the way she spoke and even the look in her eyes seems to have changed entirely. Yun Qingyue couldn't help but think that Lu Wuqi seems to have changed into a different person. But now, she didn't have the time to think about all those things and could only follow Lu Wuqi because right now she was her only chance at getting out of here alive.

Fortunately, there weren't much zombies in this place partly due to Ling Long's group of people clearing many of them. This gave Lu Wuqi and the two of them a chance to escape safely and not waste too much time.

Except for the two zombies that Lu Wuqi and the three encountered, They didn't encounter any other zombies. This time, Lu Wuqi was even more caution and deliberately didn't get close to places where there might be zombies.

Through their hard work, patience and a bit of a luck, Lu Wuqi and the three of them came infront of a tall building quite a distance away from Ling Long's place. They walked for over ten minutes before reaching this place and Lu Wuqi also scanned with the system around the front of the building and found that there were not any zombies here.

They could see that this tall building looked like a supermarket as there were many pre-apocalyptic advertising banners which could be seen thanks to the moonlight. They could also see through the second floor large window, and there seemed to be many mannequins placed there with clothes on.

The destruction caused because of the zombie apocalypse is far more than Lu Wuqi could have expected.

Because many of the low rising buildings all around them have been burned to only skeletons. Lu Wuqi could also see at a distance, that there seemed to a large plane crashed on top of a large building and everything around that place seemed to have turned black due to intense burning.

Lu Wuqi could feel the desolation and depressing feeling coming out of their surroundings.

Lu Wuqi didn't waste much time looking around the scenery and went directly into the tall building.

It may have been safer to just stay outside and find a place to hide rather than go inside a large supermarket where the threat of zombies could be many times higher. But Lu Wuqi also knew that Ling Long's men would definitely go out to search for them and with their number and familiarity of this place, they would definitely find them if they don't go inside this building and find a place to hide. After all, even though the outside is safer but it's also open to many possibilities but the inside of this large supermarket with its complicated layout would act as a large maze which would decrease their chances of being found out.

Lu Wuqi has always been quick to decide and so she immediately found that the most optimal choice in this situation is to go inside the building where she would have a higher chance of survival.

She and Yun Qingyue were extremely alert and tried to keep their footsteps as low as possible and to not make any sound. Even the child in Lu Wuqi's arms was extremely quite and always kept her little hands on her mouth so that she doesn't let out any sound unconsciously.

The inside of the building was completely dark except for the moonlight coming in through the large windows. The moonlight made it somewhat easier for them to navigate their surroundings, otherwise in such a dark world without electricity, it would make it even more harder for them to cope in the darkness.

Even Yun Qingyue came slightly closer towards Lu Wuqi because of the darkness and always kept her eyes on Lu Wuqi to not get lost suddenly.

Lu Wuqi was always extremely cautious of her surroundings and was extremely quite, even her breathing was slowed down in such a dark environment. She has always kept the system scanning function on because that is her biggest support at this time.

Lu Wuqi entered through through the front door which was already destroyed completely and only a part remains. After entering the building, they saw all around them, large shelf which were clearly looted as the remaining things on them are already half destroyed.

They walked for a few seconds on the corridor before they saw the sign of stairs and elevators on the wall. They then turned right and walked a few seconds again before reaching the stairs. After taking the stairs, Lu Wuqi immediately came to the emergency exit of the fourth floor.

But on the way to the fourth floor, They still encountered three zombies. Two of which were right on the stairs of the second floor and another was on the corridor of the fourth floor.

Thanks to the RV system scanning, Lu Wuqi was already aware of their movements and position.

Lu Wuqi handed the baby into Yun Qingyue's arms again before she immediately held the kitchen knife in her hand. She took the professional posture of holding a knife, exhaled a deep breath 'huhh' before she approached the zombies closest to her almost instantly!

The Two zombies were one Female and one Male. These two zombies were extremely terrifying to look at, especially in such a dark environment. Yun Qingyue immediately covered the eyes of the child so that she doesn't get scared and the baby was also well behaved and quietly stayed in Yun Qingyue's arms without making any noise.

The Male and Female zombies both had only half of the flesh on their entire face. Their neck were also broken and tilted to one side. Maggots were growing and feeding on their bodies which made them look even more ugly and terrifying.

They also exuded an extremely fishy scent and Lu Wuqi didn't want to waste too much time to deal with them.

But they were all on the stairs and the two zombies were higher on the stairs which made Lu Wuqi frown.

Because, if she doesn't deal with them quickly, she would definitely be cornered in such a position because she also had to protect Yun Qingyue and the baby.

Fortunately, The male zombie was a few steps ahead of the female zombie which gave Lu Wuqi a slight advantage.

But ..
