Chapter 18 - The Staff Room?

Lu Wuqi appeared infront of Yun Qingyue and Yunyue as she noticed them looking at her with an intense gaze. Lu Wuqi felt a embarrassed by Yun Qingyue's focused gaze on her and face unconsciously grew an inconspicuous blush that nobody noticed in the dark environment.

After Yun Qingyue saw Lu Wuqi appearing before them, her slightly anxious heart calmed down and she couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief.

Yunyue on the other hand stared at Lu Wuqi with her glowing eyes, though there was still a bit of hesitation and fear in them but that didn't stop the young heart from wanting her mommy.

Lu Wuqi quickly cleared her mind and approached closer towards them and said in a calm and suppressed voice,

"Let's go. The inside is clear. There were two zombies roaming but I have already dealt with them. There are still other zombies but they are locked in a separate floor shop for the moment and won't pose any threat."

After Lu Wuqi finished speaking, Yun Qingyue also nodded and then the two of didn't say anything anymore and quickly entered the third floor.

Lu Wuqi and The three of them quickly walked the same way Lu Wuqi walked before and after a few steps, they immediately noticed that there was a staff room sign on the side of the wall and an arrow pointing ahead. There was another washroom sign right below the staff room sign and the arrow directly pointed towards the opposite side.

Lu Wuqi looked at the two sign and immediately started walking towards where the staff room sign pointed.

Lu Wuqi thought that there should be a separate bathroom and washroom in the staff room and it would definitely be better than a public bathroom and would also be much cleaner.

Even though it's the time of apocalypse but Lu Wuqi has always liked to keep herself clean and doesn't like dirt on her body much less such a smelly and fishy scent of zombie blood.

Yun Qingyue also wanted to go to a washroom and she also preferred it to be clean if possible. After all, for an omega like her, it's hard to bear such dirt and dust for such a long time.

She also had some urgent private needs that she needed to fullfill but she was too embarrassed to tell Lu Wuqi and could only endure for the moment.

On the way to the staff room, they passed by many separate clothing stall with big brand names on them.

Some were much more expensive ones and would usually cost more than 10,000 yuan for one piece of clothing but in the end time, these same luxurious and expensive clothes have become even cheaper than garbage.

Lu Wuqi didn't want to waste more time and she also saw that many of the separate clothing stores had one or two zombies trapped inside the door. And just like the few zombies she saw before, they also leaned on the glass door without moving as if they were in a dormant or vegitative state.

But Lu Wuqi and Yun Qingyue both knew that a slightly louder sound would be enough to make these dormant monsters get agitated again and would violently try to break through the glass door and pounce on them.

At this time, Lu Wuqi and Yun Qingyue with the child walked along the long corridor for more than 50 steps, passing by the rows of independent shops on both sides and suddenly noticed another hazy glass door with the 'Staff Room' written on top of the door.

Lu Wuqi glanced at the door and was a little hesitant to immediately open it. After all, the hazy glass door was meant to protect the privacy of the people inside which meant that they cannot see anything inside.

And the slight moonlight seeping into the large third floor was only enough for them to see the words written on the door.

Seeing Lu Wuqi hesitate to open the door, Yun Qingyue asked in a low voice,

"What happened?"

Lu Wuqi heard her and turned around to say with a slightly serious face,

"There could be zombies directly behind the door. We can't be unprepared. You and child take a few steps back. Let me open the door from the side."

After saying that, Lu Wuqi waited for Yun Qingyue to answer and saw her nod as she also moved a few steps behind with the child and stood at a distance away from Lu Wuqi.

Lu Wuqi at this time was very careful and without much thought, the Natal dagger immediately appeared in her hand out of thin air which greatly shocked Yun Qingyue but she didn't say anything and just looked at Lu Wuqi with a calm but complicated gaze.

Lu Wuqi only summoned the dagger and the sheath was not summoned. She held the dagger tightly with her right hand as she stood slightly on the left side of the door.

Her left hand slightly clutched the door handle and she twisted it downwards very slowly and tried to not make any noise as much as possible.

She first tried to push the door slightly to see if she is facing any force on the opposite side but fortunately there wasn't any. She felt a little relieved that there is no zombie right onto the opposite side of the door like the other independent shops they had seen before. 

After that, Lu Wuqi gently pushed the door open to leave a slight gap and tried to see the inside but the inside was too dark and nothing could be seen. Then she slowly pushed the door open wide and the whole inside of the room came into view.

Thanka to the slight moonlight pouring in through the open door, Lu Wuqi could see a very faint outline of the room and the large workers' locker inside. 

After seeing that there didn't seemto be anything moving inside, Lu Wuqi turned around to face Yun Qingyue and said lightly,

"Let's go. But keep a distance from me, in case there's a zombie inside."

Yun Qingyue nodded and Lu Wuqi walked inside the room from the open door.

After walking inside, there wasn't anything inside medium sized room except the large lockers. There was only a few chairs and a wooden table placed on the side. Right beside the table was the attached washroom.

After seeing that there was no zombie inside, Lu Wuqi and Yun Qingyue both breathed a sigh of relief and Lu Wuqi quickly closed the door behind them.

But as the door closed, the whole room became extremely dark and Lu Wuqi walked to the side of the wall and opened curtain of the only large glass window in the room.

Through the glass window, the moonlight poured in and Lu Wuqi and Yun Qingyue could see the surroundings more clearly.

Lu Wuqi's eyes couldn't help but look outside the window and she saw that the whole world seems to have been dyed by a dark black colour. No matter how far she looked, there wasn't a single light in any of the buildings or street. 

Not a single sound could be heard as if the whole world has fallen silent. As if the three of them were the only people alive in the whole world at the moment.

Unknowingly Lu Wuqi became little dazed while looking outside the window and the moment she came back from her thoughts, she immediately noticed Yun Qingyue standing beside her with the child in her arms.

Her eyes and every ounce of her attention was drawn to the ethereal picture right before her. Yun Qingyue stood beside her, facing the window, the moonlight pouring in through outside outlined her clear jade like face with a silvery luster.
