Chapter 7 - Empty Warehouse

When Jiao Lizhi reached the warehouse area, she discovered several delivery trucks parked outside. Looking at the logo printed on the truck, her mood lifted up instantly.

Before exploring the warehouse, she decided to check the trucks. 

Apart from one or two zombies locked inside the driver seats, the trucks and the surrounding areas were clear of zombies. Grabbing the kitchen knife, she pried open the back of one truck and found it packed with bags of rice.

The moment she saw the supplies, a smile appeared on her face. With a wave of her hand, the bags of rice were stored into her space. Once she was done, she went to check out the other trucks. Frozen meat, sausages, vegetables, eggs, and bags of flour were found in the other four trucks.

Once the supplies on the trucks were collected, she entered the warehouse and began storing everything inside. She didn't bother to check if the supplies were spoiled or not as she didn't have a lot of time. When she found a safe place, she would sort out the supplies later. 

Not long after, she found that the sound of fighting was not as loud as before. She knew that she didn't have much time left and Mo Binxue and the others would catch up soon.

By the time she finished collecting everything, the sounds of fighting outside had subsided. Without wasting even a second, she left the warehouse and headed toward the mini market. 

To avoid being seen, she chose a desolate path near the lake. Though the path was longer, it was safer, as few people visit the area. So, this area would also be free of zombies.

Despite her fatigue, Jiao Lizhi gritted her teeth and continued running without looking back.

At the same time, the upperclassmen group finally reached the cafeteria after clearing up the zombies. As soon as they entered the building, two of them closed the gate and blocked it with chairs and tables while the others went to the kitchen.

The moment they saw the beheaded zombies inside, one of them cursed angrily, "Damn it! Someone has been here before us!"

Hearing this, Mo Binxue's eyes flashed with annoyance but she showed nothing on her face. Turning to the man, she hesitated for a moment before she asked softly, "Senior, what should we do now?"

The man looked at her weak appearance and felt annoyed. This girl is nothing more than a burden to them. If it weren't for her screams, they wouldn't have attracted so many zombies and wasted so much time fighting for their lives.

Glaring at her, he ordered sharply, "Search the area and gather whatever is left." 

Even though his tone angered her, Mo Binxue swallowed her resentment and followed his order. In order to survive in this chaotic time, she needed these people. 

Volunteering to join the group to find supplies was her way of earning their favor and showing that she has some values. 

As she searched the kitchen, the foul stench of rotting flesh sting her nose. With the addition of the headless rotten corpses on the ground, her stomach churn and she almost vomited on the spot. 

Pinching on her nose, she avoided the zombie's body and head as much as possible. As she held back her nausea, her face turned pale.

When the other girl saw this, she sneered at her and muttered, "What a coward."

Mo Binxue glared at her but held her tongue. The other girl had awakened a water ability and was now a core member of the group. 

Between herself—a powerless tagalong—and someone who could provide water to the group, the choice was obvious. For now, she would endure the humiliation. Once she gets the chance, she will definitely kill this bitch!

After a thorough search, they managed to find half a bag of rice, some seasoning, and half a can of vegetable oil. 

Showing their finding to the silver-haired man, one of the men said, "Brother Pei, this is all we found."

Pei Yijun frowned at the small amount of supplies they found, turned to leave, and said, "Let's check the warehouse."

As the vice president of the student union, he has an aura of leadership that makes everyone follow him willingly. Now that he has made this decision, no one has any objection and followed after him.

They hurried to the warehouse, hoping that there would still be supplies left. Unfortunately, the moment they reached the warehouse, they only found it completely empty. Not to mention supplies, not even a leaf was found inside.

Standing at the entrance, one of them yelled in frustration, "Who the hell cleaned this place out?!" 

Pei Yijun's expression darkened when he saw the empty warehouse, but he kept his anger under control and warned his friend, "Li Yang, lower your voice or you will attract the monsters."

With his warning, the man shut up. No one dared to shout anymore even if their hearts were filled with anger. The group exchanged grim looks as Pei Yijun gave his next order, "There is nothing here. Let's head to the mini market."

Hearing this, they all nodded, thinking that no matter who took away the supplies in the warehouse, they would not be able to carry more and wouldn't go to the mini market. So, they would be able to find food and water at the mini market.

With this thought, they began making their way there while stopping occasionally to fight zombies. By the time they left the cafeteria area, Jiao Lizhi had already reached the mini-market.
