Living Dead's

Chapter 12 - Pharmacy

Shen Yuan was awakened by the hot feeling coming from her embrace, she jolted awake all of a sudden. First of all he directly checked the state of Feifei. Feifei's state was no different from the last time except that now he had a high fever. Shen Yuan was surprised to find his daughter's body as hot as a stove.

Feifei's mouth was slightly open, breathing heavily using his mouth. Scrolls of sweat appeared on his pale forehead, even his bangs became wet and limp.

Shen Yuan glanced at his watch, it had been three hours since Feifei had been bitten.

He ransacked the stuff in his car. But he did not find a cure for fever. Shen Yuan could only blame his nakedness when packing the supplies. He only had alcohol, red medicine, and bandages. At that time he did not even think of carrying a thermometer.

Shen Yuan could only curse at himself a hundred times.

Finally Shen Yuan could only wet a towel with mineral water and slowly wipe the sweat on Feifei's forehead with it.

As the cold towel hit his forehead, Feifei frowned unhappily and tried to dodge. But after that, there was no other movement.

Shen Yuan tried to wake up by calling Feifei's name, yet she did not respond, still unconscious.

Shen Yuan felt he could not continue to remain silent like this. Finally after tightly enveloping Feifei, Shen Yuan drove his car towards the city, looking for the whereabouts of the apothecary.

When a zombie virus breaks out in the world, a densely populated city falls into a hell-like nightmare. Piles of vehicles lined the streets, yet none of their owners were in sight, left to roll with wind and dust.

The living corpse wanders off in no direction, looking for prey to eat. The mutilated pieces of the body were scattered along the way, making anyone who saw them feel nauseous.

The shop doors were wide open, with broken glass strewn everywhere. It looked like it had been plundered many times with blood-stained walls and a person's bloody fingerprints.

There was someone lying on the ground, looking still twitching. Yet dozens of zombies swarmed around him chewing the flesh on his body. One of the zombies tore through his stomach, took his intestines, and swallowed it greedily, giving rise to a puddle of blood under his miserable body.

Black Jeep Wrangler speeding in the middle of the highway. Smelling the stench of a living human, the zombies staggered to chase. Their hands were covered in black veins trying to reach, but the car had already left them with dust.

Shen Yuan's sharp gaze swept across the rows of shops in front of him. Occasionally he would glance through the middle rearview mirror to see Feifei's state. A kilometer away he saw the disguised pharmacy sign behind the other shops. Without hesitation Shen Yuan stepped on the gas pedal and drove straight ahead.

Meanwhile on the second floor a parking lot of a shopping center building which is only two hundred meters to the pharmacy.

Walls and pillars are seen hollowed out by bullet fire. The corpses of zombies littered the ground. The smell of gunpowder and blood mixed in the air of a stuffy parking lot, so people who inhaled it felt difficulty getting oxygen.

Wen Fan walked over to a man who was leaning against the bloodied wall. The man was observing the situation outside through the window, his eyes deep and sharp.

Wen Fan carefully observed the expressions of the people in front of him before reporting their situation.

"We're surrounded by a bunch of zombies." Wen Fan said in a hoarse and desperate voice. "I estimate there are about a few hundred of them. No back door, completely dead-end. With the rest of the ammo we have now, it's impossible for us to make it out of here, unless we can grow wings."

As a warrior who had already been forged with various special training and had gone through various kinds of dangerous situations, their reactions were arguably very calm, even though they would all die. Yet they still could not help but feel sad upon hearing this extremely desperate state. As they sank into despair, the iron door that held hundreds of zombies pounded hard, it would not last long.

Xi Zihe was still calmly observing the situation outside. He quietly closed his eyes, before opening them again. His sharp eyes shone with a cold light, looking at the hundreds of zombies from the window.

"All of you," After a while he finally opened his voice. "Prepare to break through."

Xi Zihe moved away from the window, taking a few steps. With military boots, the height reaches 190 cm with a sturdy and strong body. His camouflage clothes had been stained with blood and dirt, yet it could not mask his dignity and instead made him look even sharper.

"Captain, where are you going?!" Wen Fan immediately realized the peculiarity of his captain.

"Wen Fan, after I leave, you take over as captain." After saying that, Xi Zihe walked towards the red Lamborghini sports car that had already lost its glass. Under the gaze of all the members of his squad, he went inside, and retrieved the key from the car dashboard.

"Don't!"

"No, captain!"

"You can't do this captain !"

The voice of the squad members trying to block him was not ignored at all, he was still firmly seated in the driver's seat.

Xi Zihe looked at his team members one by one before saying firmly, "Shut up! After I distract those damn zombies, you go to the shelter center in an armored vehicle."

With the authority and aura he had accumulated over the years in leading the troops, all the members of the reflex squad were silent. Wen Fan wanted to say something but he saw Xi Zihe shake his head. That is clear, his decision cannot be disputed or opposed by anyone.

"If I survive, I'll find you in the shelter."

After dropping that sentence, Xi Zihe started turning the ignition key, releasing the handbrake, and the Lamborghini sports car roared alive. A mensin voice roared, echoing within the vastness of the parking lot.

"No, wait captain!" Wen Fan's eyes were focused on the window, looking in the distance. He shouted, "There's someone... Someone came by car!"

Countless zombies swarmed at the entrance of the multi-storey car park, attempting to barge in by hitting the door. Behind them, the Jeep Wrangler stopped abruptly before walking backwards slowly.

Shen Yuan lowered the window, observing the building in front of him. Every window glass on the second floor was completely destroyed, many bloodstains and bullet-shot holes everywhere, just as there had been a battle that shook the heavens and earth. Shen Yuan narrowed her eyes towards the window facing the direction of the road, she faintly saw a human figure.

Are there any survivors?

Shen Yuan then turned his attention towards the entrance of the parking lot. Under the constant pounding of zombies, the iron door began to bend with dangerous circumstances. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before it was completely broken.

Shen Yuan sighed, in order to reach the apothecary, he had to pass through this zombie crowd. Then he turned his head to look at Feifei, it was too late to look for another apothecary. To find this one apothecary alone, he had already driven a long time to look for it. He was not familiar with the makeup of this city, other than that he could not use the search application.

Finally Shen Yuan decided to help those people get rid of these damn zombies!
