Chapter 49: She Was Eaten by Her Mother
Chapter 49: She Was Eaten by Her Mother
The market was very messy. Food was scattered along the shelves, a clear indication of a zombie`s doing. The food had been stepped on and had already mixed with the rotten meat of the zombies on the ground. They formed a layer of slippery dirt.
Shang Jiuti asked Chen Shaoye to help her clean the mess. Several mops were used.
Chu Han checked whether there were still zombies inside the market. He also found food in the market. There was an abundance of food in the supermarket. Except for some broken canned packages, the others were still in good shape. The dirt that covered the packages did not affect the taste of the food.
Luo Xiaoxiao followed him, just like a little tail. The little girl tried her hardest to keep up with Chu Han`s pace as she also picked up food from the shelves that were still standing. Certainly, she was still keeping herself alert although she was in a good mood as she tightly held on to the rifle in her hands. Your weapon must never leave your hands, something Chu Han taught her.
There were two entrances that allowed access to the supermarket. The front gate was the one that was crashed onto by their G55 while the other one was locked tightly. Ceaseless roaring could be heard from outside this door and it was still not clear if it was capable of withstanding the zombies for long.
"I`ll go and investigate." Chu Han then picked up his axe when he finished his words.
Luo Xiaoxiao hesitated for only a while and then she followed him with rifle in her hands.
Chu Han did not stop the twelve-year- old child since she already had the ability to survive during these turbulent times. No matter how high her status was, he must treat her with equity. She would surely grow up.
Chu Han went to check the locked door as he tried to turn the knob but it didn`t budge.
Crack! Crack!
It was clearly locked!
Was there anyone on the other side? !
Raoring--
Chu Han thought about it as some weak zombies came from here. Meanwhile, a bang was heard.
Luckily, it was only a zombie.
According to the sound, it should just be one zombie.
The door was secure but it was still quivering with each strike. It seemed to be broken or destroyed of sorts. So the zombie had been striking it for a very long time, for several days or dozens of days even.
It was so persistent.
Chu Han emotionlessly sighed as he raised his right hand to cut the lock with his axe.
Crack!
The door was opened and what was on the other side of it was something like a warehouse.
Roaring-roaring!
The zombie on the other side crazily rushed towards Chu Han after the door opened. Although what was left of it seemed to just a skeleton, it was still eager to eat.
Its original appearance could no longer be discerned as his cheeks caved as it rot. Two eyes which looked like white table tennis balls were still plastered on its skull. Its brain was exposed and its mouth which had lost its flesh clearly showed its entire gums. Two rows of uneven but sharp teeth looked extremely like that of a beast`s. It should be a woman since it wore a dress.
It hungrily rushed over as it tried to open its mouth.
Bang!
Chu Han coldly raised his axe to smash the female zombie`s head. The zombie had been hungry for a very long time as clearly denoted by the amount of brain liquid it possessed. The brain matter inside was clearly smaller than other zombies.
Looking at the single credit it gave, Chu Han stepped into the zombie while Lou Xiaoxiao followed him from behind.
Suddenly, Chu Han just stopped and then turned around to cover Lou Xiaoxiao`s eyes with his clean hand. Chu Han was at a daze. Why would he be so protective of the girl?
He felt stimulated seeing her cry and feel scared.
He actually wants to protect her? !
But it was not only towards Luo Xiaoxiao, he also had these emotions towards Shang Jiuti and Chen Shaoye. Was loyalty bidirectional?
His doubt flashed for only a moment as he could clearly feel something wet in his palms that covered Lou Xiaoxiao`s eyes.
"I have already seen it." Her voice was quivering.
Next, Luo Xiaoxiao moved Chu Han`s palm and then looked up front with red eyes.
It was the remains of a human being. It should not be called as remains, as there was only a skeleton that remained. It was a child and several bones were broken.
The sternum had been torn while the neck bone showed signs of being chewed on. The bones of the fingers and feet were scattered around. It looked like a Chicken feet with pickled peppers which had been bitten and then chewed for several times. The skull was broken and the bite marks were so clear. Only a small part of the brain was left. The scene was very disgusting and terrible.
Long hair covered in a sticky substance draped on the ground. Parts of the tattered dress was scattered on the ground. Judging from the dress she was wearing, the victim were of the same age as Luo Xiaoxiao
She had been eaten by her mother.
Chu Han clearly remembered that Luo Xiaoxiao wore a pink bubble skirt when he met her for the first time. It looked exactly like the one on the ground. "Go out and find Fatty Chen." Chu Han could not bear to let Luo Xiaoxiao stay for even a second more.
There suddenly came a banging sound from outside. Chu Han raised his head and he quickly knew that the sound was made by the zombies trying to strike the iron gate. There were a lot f zombies outside but luckily, they could not enter.
The warehouse was huge and there were a lot of boxes filled with assorted items lined up inside it. There was a van covered in mud at the center.
Chu Han just sighed and searched for a box to put the girl`s remains after Lou Xiaoxiao had left. And then he carried it along with the zombie`s body. He cleaned the warehouse which had clearly not been damaged that bad. Although he did not know why he would waste time on doing it, he just did not want Lou Xiaoxiao to remember such a terrible memory.
There was a residential building near the market. A group of naked men played cards while a lot of cigarette butts were clearly piled in the corner. Women who were very dirty and smelled disgusting were beside those men.
The women looked very dirty and ugly. It was maybe due to the lack of water during these times that they were not able to take a shower. Insects were even already flying overhead them. Their fingernails were so dirty too. They wore nothing while a smell perforated from the middle of their legs. They were laughing with these men.
Zhou Shuli was in the middle of this group of people. He had a fat face. He should have a high position, judging from how he had more food and cigarette. His women were even cleaner and more beautiful but they were still dirty and smelly. People would vomit just by looking at them.
