You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 93 What a Big Rat!

the smooth floor tiles became the first barrier hindering the horde of corpses.

soon, a zombie fell.

but its companions immediately stepped on its body.

then came the second, the third; more and more zombies fell to the ground, at first glance resembling countless black and red insects writhing on the floor.

yet, the sound from the cellphone continued to ring, luring the horde to clumsily tumble toward the exit.

when the few zombies at the very front finally reached the doorway, poking their heads out, the security guards who had been waiting outside swung down their baseball bats with force.

it was as if someone had suddenly flipped a switch.

the similarly built security guards kept repeating the same motion.

swing the bat, smash down, swing the bat, smash down.

with each smash, brains splattered everywhere.

soon, the glass doors were smeared with a mix of red and white fluids.

beside these employees wielding bats, two other workers were violently jabbing the door with sharpened steel pipes.

but there were simply too many zombies inside.

clinging to each other, pushing and shoving, they soon clogged the entire entrance, and eventually, all surged out.

the security guards, who had received their orders, promptly retreated around the truck.

the open space in front of the supermarket was suddenly filled with writhing human shapes.

the two women on top of the truck were quietly discussing something.

"why not just let them in to knock them out?"

"what's the point of this fuss?"

luo xin looked at the mass of zombies below, somewhat puzzled. experience more on empire

even if you draw them out, don't you still have to smash them one by one?

what's the difference?

liu qingqing looked at her with a disdainful face and lectured,

"are you stupid?"

"if they all die inside, what about the corpses?"

"now they're all outside, won't it be easier to clean up later?"

but luo xin was still somewhat confused.

"what we need are the supplies inside, not the supermarket, what's there to clean up?"

"just kill all the zombies and move on, right?"

"such a simple task."

but no sooner had she finished speaking than liu qingqing immediately asked, "move to where?"

luo xin was suddenly at a loss for words.

she was asking herself?

she wasn't in charge of finance and logistics, how would she know where to move them?

"do you even know why ye zi asked you to come here?"

liu qingqing asked again.

seeing luo xin still not speaking, her face immediately showed a look of exasperation.

"you!"

"all you do is slack off every day!"

"it's obvious, you were just goofing off at yesterday's meeting too!"

"don't you know what kind of person ye zi is?"

luo xin's eyes suddenly widened, and then she took out the stun baton in her hand and extended it forward.

crackling—

sparks flew, and a strong scent of burning filled the air.

the black rat convulsed violently for a few seconds before it stopped moving.

it was evidently knocked unconscious.

luo xin pressed the button on the stun baton several more times, ensuring the target was completely immobilized before stepping back with her heart pounding wildly.

just then, liu qingqing also stepped forward.

the two of them looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

take it back to show zhang ye?

————

bright lights illuminated the courtyard.

zhang ye, looking at the creature in the cage that was constantly gnawing on the steel bars, felt a towering surge within him.

this freaking thing is a rat?

who would believe that!

had it not been for those distinctively sharp incisors, he almost doubted whether this could be a piglet that had fallen into the sewer.

over a meter long from head to tail.

it's glossy fur was coated with various disgusting fluids.

from the odor and the color, it seemed likely it had emerged from the sewer.

but the key issue was,

this visibly abnormally developed rat was aggressively attacking.

this was very abnormal.

the saying goes 'as timid as a mouse', which everyone has heard of.

but this one was different, not only in size but also its behavior was entirely unlike a normal rat.

the reason seemed obvious at first glance.

this rat too, was infected.

having reached this conclusion, zhang ye took another careful look at the creature in the cage.

it was indeed a rat, no doubt.

so the question arises,

how many rats are there in the sewers of the entire city?

and how many of them are infected with the virus?

a few?

a few thousand?

or several hundred thousand?

if one day, all these mutant rats crawled out of the sewers—

would they have any way to survive?

no.

at least with the company's current capabilities, they absolutely couldn't withstand it.

and who knows whether there would be other mutant creatures by that time?

against these dangerous creatures born with sharp teeth and claws, one weapon is most effective.

that would be firearms.

and he clearly didn't have any of these.
