Chapter 104 To the Supermarket


    Sensing the presence of the living, the zombies within the empty skeletal frame of the reinforced concrete buildings began to howl and shriek. On the other hand, those wandering the streets immediately turned and lunged toward them in a frenzy.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Bam!


    Theresa didn’t even bother to slow down the vehicle, plowing right through the crowd without hesitation. Crushing the scattered, roaming zombies under the wheels of her vehicle, she drove them straight to their destination-therge supermarket in the development zone.


    There were many zombies loitering around the supermarket and crowding the entrance. Most of them wore civilian clothing, though some were fully armed in thick gear. They were clearly the local residents who had tried to seize the supermarket after the apocalypse broke out, only to meet a tragic end.


    If one out of ten had even managed to make it out of the supermarket alive, that person would be considered very lucky.


    The nearby zombies immediately swarmed toward them as the vehicle approached.


    Theresa gestured at Kyle, who quickly pressed one of the buttons inside the vehicle. A turret rose up from the top of the armored vehicle, unleashing a brutal and effective barrage at the horde below.


    Inside the vehicle, Quentin watched as the zombies outside were quickly reduced to burning heaps.


    “Wow! This ride is awesome, Beautiful! Where did you get it?”


    “Don’t ask so many questions,” Theresa snapped. Once most of the zombies had been cleared out, she brusquely ordered him. “Go and scout ahead.”


    “Alright.” He raised an eyebrow at her. Nevertheless, he exited the vehicle unarmed and surveyed the area.


    The remaining zombies lingering nearby ignored his presencepletely, allowing him to walk straight to the entrance of the supermarket unhindered. He turned and waved back at her from the entrance, signaling that the coast was clear.


    Seeing that, Kyle couldn’t help wondering. “Theresa, who exactly is he?”


    “He has a special constitution. Zombies don’t bite him.”


    Those words made his eyes light up, and his perception of Quentin changed at that moment.


    No wonder Theresa wanted him around. His ability is rare indeed. Unfortunately, he doesn’t look like he has the purest intentions. He definitely isn’t a good person.


    “Let’s go.”


    “Okay.”


    Grabbing his weapon, Kyle climbed out of the vehicle with the dogs. The dogs swiftly took down the remaining zombies around them, and he finished off the rest in the vicinity.


    Meanwhile, Theresa leisurely walked through the cleared path to the supermarket entrance as though the area waspletely cleared of obstacles. Standing by the door, she peered inside the building. It was pitch


    ck within.


    “What’s the situation?”


    “The doors are locked, but-” Quentin grinned and pulled out a nk white card. “I’ve got a way to open them.”


    Crouching down with the card in hand, he fiddled with the locked door. It didn’t take long before the tightly shut doors opened with a loud click.


    “Aren’t I super useful?” He beamed at her, clearly fishing for praise.


    “Well done.” She sent him into the building with a swift kick. “Now, go scout the inside.”


    During this period, she had discovered something about him: Although his loyalty level was very hard to raise, the numbers never dropped either. No matter how roughly she treated him, his pitifully low loyalty level never budged.


    In fact, he seemed to enjoy her violent temper. He became cocky whenever she spoke to him kindly. On the other hand, he would treat her words like gospel and worship her whenever she talked to him with her fists.


    She couldn’t begin to understand the thoughts going through his mind, but one thing was for sure-he was definitely not normal. Then again, he would never havemitted those monstrous and unforgivable acts in their past life if he were normal.


    Quentin eagerly darted deeper into the supermarket. “On it!”


    Following Quentin’s departure, Theresa left two dogs to stand guard at the door as usual. She then slowly entered the building with Kyle and the rest of the dogs to survey the first floor of the supermarket.


    The building had three floors, including the main supermarket alongside some clothing shops and snack stalls. Unfortunately, there was no electricity in the building. Even though it was bright and sunny outside, it was extremely dark inside. Only the green emergency lights glowed along the escape routes.


    The area stretching out before her was an open retail space for clothing. Rows of shelves stood in front of her, disying out-of-season winter coats on a clearance sale. Huge red promotional signs hung above the racks, bearing bold white letters that screamed: “99 only!” Be that as it may, there would be no more customersing here, no matter how cheap the goods.


    A thickyer of dust nketed the floor and shelves. Several clothing racks to the right had toppled over. Human-shaped limbs, torsos, and eerily round heads were scattered across the ground between them.


    Kyle and the dogs moved closer, only to realize they were merely mannequins. Those are mannequins, Theresa. There are no bodies or blood.”


    “Hm


    They did not have to wait long before Quentin came running back to them.


    “Hey, Beautiful! I checked out the area! It’s safe! There are no zombies on the first floor. Moreover, the entrance to the actual supermarket is just ahead. There are plenty of supplies inside.
