Qinqin and Wu Shenmao left the supermarket with two bags of food and headed toward a nearby house.
Qinqin, still shaken, said, "Husband, thank goodness that beautiful sister stepped in, or we would've been done for."
Wu Shenmao nodded, equally rattled. "Yeah, that was close! I almost didn't make it. I'm sorry, my abilities are too weak."
Qinqin comforted him, "Don't blame yourself, husband. With everything that's happening, I'm just glad we're together."
Wu Shenmao sighed, "I wish I had awakened some abilities too."
Suddenly, five zombies appeared around the corner of the alley.
Their faces drained of color.
Wu Shenmao grabbed Qinqin's hand and shouted, "Run, honey!"
As they ran, Qinqin asked, "Where should we go? There are so many zombies! How do we escape?"
Wu Shenmao replied, "I'll distract them. You head back to the supermarket."
Qinqin suggested, "Let's both go back there. That sister is really powerful; she can definitely handle these zombies."
Wu Shenmao nodded, "Alright! Let's go back to the supermarket!"
The two of them sprinted back and reached the supermarket entrance again.
Fortunately, the ordinary zombies weren't too fast.
Inside the supermarket, Yuto Saito was gathering supplies, occasionally glancing at Ni Shuang and Yun Yun.
Yun Yun met Yuto Saito's gaze and quickly turned her face away, feeling a bit embarrassed. She couldn't understand why she was so concerned about him. What was happening? She had only known him for a short time, but somehow, he had already found a place in her heart.
Just then, the sound of pounding on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Bang bang bang! Sister, help! Open the door!" Qin Qin's voice called from outside, snapping Yun Yun back to reality.
Wu Shenmao hurriedly lifted the shutter door. "Hurry, honey, get inside!"
Qinqin bent down and quickly slipped into the supermarket. Wu Shenmao followed, pulling the shutter door down behind them.
Yuto Saito looked at them and asked, "Why did you come back?"
Wu Shenmao and Qinqin were startled. They hadn't noticed a man in the supermarket before—where did he come from? When they spotted Yun Yun and the others, Wu Shenmao realized they were all together.
"We ran into five zombies on our way home," Wu Shenmao said urgently. "Sorry, it was an emergency, so we came back."
Five zombies?
Yuto Saito's eyes lit up—experience points! This could help him reach level 2.
"Open the shutter," Yuto Saito instructed.
Wu Shenmao hesitated. "No, the zombies are chasing us. It's too dangerous outside."
He looked over at Yun Yun, sensing that she was the strongest among them. He wouldn't open the door without her approval.
Yun Yun slightly parted her lips and said, "Open the door."
Hearing her command, Wu Shenmao bent down and opened the shutter door.
Yuto Saito casually walked to the entrance of the supermarket.
He saw five zombies slowly making their way toward the building, their mouths emitting low growls.
Wu Shenmao and Qinqin glanced at Yun Yun.
But Yun Yun didn't move, showing no intention of stepping in.
Qinqin, anxious, asked, "Sister, aren't you going to help him?"
Yun Yun remained calm and didn't answer. She hadn't seen Yuto Saito in action before, as she was still awakening her own abilities at that time. This was the perfect opportunity to see what he could do.
Ni Shuang and Natto also came out to watch, completely at ease.
In their eyes, these five zombies posed no threat to Yuto Saito.
Yuto Saito activated his mind power, and five flying knives shot out from his ring.
In an instant, the knives flew toward the zombies, striking them down simultaneously.
The zombies collapsed to the ground in a blink of an eye—a clean sweep.
Yun Yun's eyes widened slightly in surprise. The speed, precision, and deadliness of those flying knives were impressive.
Yuto Saito retrieved the knives, storing them neatly in separate compartments in his storage ring.

Yuto Saito stepped forward and collected two more white crystals, feeling quite pleased.
Qinqin and Wu Shenmao were stunned. This man could control flying knives with his mind!
Wu Shenmao suddenly had a realization. "No wonder that beautiful woman didn't step in—this guy is the strongest one here! I bet all three of these women are his..."
Wu Shenmao felt a pang of envy toward Yuto Saito, but then he looked at Qinqin. She was also very beautiful, with a particularly attractive waistline. Envy aside, Wu Shenmao was content. Despite his lack of strength, Qinqin was still willing to stay by his side, and for that, he was truly satisfied.
