At that moment, inside the small supermarket.
Shen Yiyue had just finished her morning training, her body glistening with sweat, revealing the beautiful curves of a young woman.
Her delicate and pretty face showed slight fatigue, but mostly the contentment of resting.
She was about to wipe off her sweat and then eat something.
Suddenly, she heard a knocking sound from the main entrance of the supermarket.
Shen Yiyue's heart tightened instantly, knowing it definitely wasn't Ning Yu.
Ning Yu never used, nor needed to use, the main door.
Walking to the corner of the small living room, she picked up the long sword Ning Yu had given her.
The excellent anti-slip layer on the handle transmitted a solid feeling to her hand, making her feel a bit more secure.
She was no longer the helpless high school girl from a few weeks ago.
Approaching the supermarket's front door, she heard a female voice from behind it, with an indiscernible age:
"Excuse me... is anyone there? Please help us..."
Shen Yiyue stepped forward and looked through the peephole:
Outside stood two women, probably in their thirties, with average looks and seemingly wearing makeup, appearing somewhat attractive in a forced way.
Their clothes were a bit tattered, with shoulders and necklines somewhat exposed.
But overall, it gave the impression that they were intentionally revealing themselves.
The two women seeking help were likely trying to use their bodies to gain some advantage.
Shen Yiyue didn't open the door, but said softly through it:
"I'm sorry, please leave! Our food is limited, we can't help."
Hearing a voice from inside, the two women outside immediately showed delighted expressions and knocked even harder:
"Please! We'll do anything, we just want some food in exchange!"
Hearing the increasingly loud knocking, Shen Yiyue felt somewhat troubled and irritated. She simply unlocked the door handle.
There were still three iron chains locking it from inside, so even if the door was opened, there was no way to enter.
Only a small gap, not large enough for a person to pass through, was created.
The two women, hearing the door open, quickly leaned in, their faces showing fawning expressions, but they were immediately startled.
Through the gap, they saw a gleaming long sword and Shen Yiyue's cold gaze.
"Leave quickly, or I won't be polite."
Shen Yiyue still remembered how the supermarket couple had died.
You never know if welcoming such strangers would result in mutual help or utter disaster.
She wasn't foolish.
The two women showed pleading expressions and said:
"No... please, we... we have nowhere else to go."
Shen Yiyue didn't speak. She noticed that beneath the women's pleading gazes, there was a snake-like cunning hidden.
They were rolling their eyes, desperately scanning left and right, trying to peek at the situation inside the supermarket through the door gap.
These small movements were all caught by Shen Yiyue.
She raised her long sword, her eyes turning cold, about to act through the door gap to drive them away.
Seeing Shen Yiyue about to take action, the two women immediately retreated, showing terrified expressions and hurriedly saying:
"Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to disturb..."
Only then did Shen Yiyue quickly close the door with a 'bang'.
As soon as the door closed, the terrified expressions of the two women completely disappeared, replaced by venomous glares.
They spat on the ground and turned to walk towards the street corner not far away.
Looking around, all the zombies near this small supermarket had already fallen, cleared away by someone at some unknown time.
"Two useless wastes!"
At the street corner, the two women from earlier were knocked to the ground, clutching their faces in pain.
They wanted to explain that the person who opened the door was a girl, so their seduction tactics were useless.
But they didn't dare to talk back, only able to vent their resentment on Shen Yiyue who didn't let them in.
The venomous look in their eyes deepened.
At the street corner, a baseball cap peeked out.
The face under the brim was hidden in shadow, staring at the small supermarket in the distance.
......
[Detected: Glutton (Low-level)]
[Position: 9 o'clock direction, approximately 50 meters, vertical height difference 5 meters]
It's here!
The silver-haired little loli held the Crimson War Blade, her eyes blood-red.
In just this short time, the Glutton had hunted down all the survivors who had fled to the first floor.
The entire complex was now a river of blood, with brain matter splattered everywhere.
The zombies outside had also smelled the nearby scent of blood and were stumbling towards the complex.
As if the cafeteria had just opened for a meal.
Ning Yu gripped the sword handle tightly, her attention highly focused.
Since picking up the Crimson War Blade, the enhancement effects from absorbing blood had returned to her body.
Her physical abilities and mental perception were considerably stronger than when she was empty-handed.
"Crack!"
The Glutton had fallen onto a signboard at the 9 o'clock direction from somewhere unknown.
Like a monstrous cat, all four limbs were pressed against it, staring at Ning Yu with terrifying eyes that showed only whites.
It seemed to know that Ning Yu wasn't like those toys it could slaughter at will.
Its hands and feet had grown sharp claws, deeply embedded in the signboard it stood on.
If scratched by such claws, if not disemboweled, one would at least suffer severe lacerations.
Ning Yu was not afraid at all. She stared back at it with her blood-colored eyes, the Crimson War Blade held diagonally in front of her body, emitting a faint red glow.
[Ding! Emergency task triggered: Kill the Glutton 0/1]
[Task reward: 5000 points, Storage Space Exchange Permission]
[Note: Emergency tasks usually involve extreme life danger. Please complete at your discretion]
The system chose this tense moment to add fuel to the fire.
Offering so many points at once, and even unlocking a seemingly very useful Storage Space Exchange Permission.
How could one not be tempted!
But as mentioned in the note below, such generous rewards also meant extremely high life danger.
"Urgh!"
The Glutton let out a blood-curdling screech, ending the silent standoff first.
It changed its position left and right, charging towards Ning Yu.
With the enhancement from Blood's Ancient Wish, Ning Yu could finally clearly see the Glutton's movements this time.
As it got close, it suddenly swept a claw towards Ning Yu's waist, moving so fast there was a faint sound of air being cut.
Ning Yu immediately turned her blade to defend, and the clash of claw and blade produced a metallic clanging sound.
The hardness of this monster's claws was surprisingly high!
The Glutton's first attack was blocked, but its foot stomped hard on the floor, abruptly changing direction and bouncing to Ning Yu's other side.
Another scratch came from the other direction, which Ning Yu barely managed to block again.
But her pupils rapidly contracted.
The Glutton seemed to have turned into a tornado, launching claw attacks in rapid succession like a violent storm.
Ning Yu felt like a small boat in a tempest, struggling desperately to defend, as if she might capsize at any moment.
After blocking countless claw attacks, the Glutton suddenly changed its behavior.
Instead of using the floor to bounce for the next claw attack, it directly kicked Ning Yu with extreme speed.
It hurts so much!
Ning Yu felt a massive impact on her leg, her entire body sent flying by the kick!
Enduring the pain, she quickly constructed a silver crossbow in her hand while in mid-air.
She swiftly shot two arrows at the Glutton, which was preparing to press its advantage.
"Clang!"
Her petite body crashed into the entrance of a store.
She felt a sweetness in her throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spewed onto her pretty sailor uniform, making it even redder.
This was the first time Ning Yu had been so badly beaten since coming to this world.
As for the Glutton, it nimbly dodged the two arrows Ning Yu had shot to stop its pursuit.
It bounced forward to charge at her again!
