Chapter 7

The Trick of Sowing Discord

Zhang Wanyue straightened up and watched as Chen Yu casually removed the padlock and loosened the chain...

She was deeply shocked.

Why does this guy know how to pick locks, and he seems to be very skilled at it?

And it was done with a regular hair clip!

She couldn't help but ask, "How do you know this?"

Chen Yu didn't return the hair clip; instead, he put it in his pocket: "I learned a little from someone."

She gave a vague answer, but Zhang Wanyue didn't say anything more.

But then something occurred to her: "You chose to be in my group just now, not because of the hair clip, right?"

Chen Yu pushed open the door and turned around: "Well, that's only one of the reasons. The most important reason is that out of the group of people on the bus, I like you the most."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanyue felt her cheeks flush and the tips of her ears become burning hot.

like?

Chen Yu said... he likes her?

He...he only likes Li Mengyao, doesn't he?

As everyone knows, this guy is frighteningly loyal...

Could it be that the shock of breaking up was too great?

However, when she looked at Chen Yu, she found that he had already entered the supermarket...

He didn't take her words to heart at all, and didn't even glance at her again.

The stark contrast caused the blush on Zhang Wanyue's face to gradually fade.

"I guess I'm overthinking it."

Zhang Wanyue shook her head and was about to go inside.

But then she heard a sound coming from not far away. Her heart tightened, and she quickly hid.

She cautiously peeked out with half her face showing.

Zhang Zihao was seen leading the way, his face pale and his hair disheveled.

The three girls following behind him were even more disheveled.

All four of them panicked and ran while looking back.

"Quick! Over here! Let's hide!"

Zhang Zihao lowered his voice and roared, "This damned place is definitely not simple!"

Deng Yuxin, her voice trembling with tears, said, "We...we really shouldn't go find Chen Yu? Maybe he can..."

"That's enough!"

Zhang Zihao rudely interrupted her: "That Chen Yu is all talk. If he saw that terrifying thing, he'd be scared half to death. What's the point of talking to him!"

"Class committee members!"

"Wanyue!"

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng immediately noticed Zhang Wanyue, who was not far away, and were extremely excited!

The two quickly ran over: "Where's Chen Yu! We have something to ask him!"

Zhang Zihao and Deng Yuxin were taken aback when they saw Zhang Wanyue standing in front of a supermarket.

She waved to the crowd: "Come quick, Chen Yu's in the supermarket, what's going on?"

Deng Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, her voice still trembling with shock: "We broke a supermarket window, and...and it attracted a monster!"

"monster?"

Zhang Wanyue frowned: "What monster?"

Zhang Zihao exclaimed, "It's a zombie! It's terrifying! Its mouth can open as wide as a basin!"

Zhang Wanyue shrank her neck: "That's really scary."

Li Mengyao nodded: "Okay, let's hurry up and get into the supermarket. You guys are lucky to have found an unlocked supermarket; we would have had to break the glass..."

Zhang Wanyue let out an "uh": "Actually, it was Chen Yu who pried the lock open..."

"What?"

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng exchanged a glance and exclaimed that it was impossible.

Deng Yuxin stammered, "He... he pried it open? He even knows how to do that?"

Zhang Zihao snorted coldly: "I knew this guy wasn't as honest as he looked!"

Zhang Wanyue interrupted them: "Don't stand outside, come into the supermarket quickly. I'll lock the door. Stay here tonight, and everything should be fine when we get on the bus tomorrow."

The group had just entered the supermarket.

Just then, Chen Yu was seen putting canned goods from the shelf into his backpack.

"Chen Yu!"

Li Mengyao, Wang Mengmeng, and Deng Yuxin, three girls, spoke in unison.

Even they themselves didn't realize that this usually quiet boy had, in a short period of time, become the person they subconsciously wanted to rely on the most.

Chen Yu chuckled: "Wow, you searched so quickly? How was the haul?"

Zhang Zihao was furious: "What are you searching for! There are zombies outside! They'll eat people!"

Chen Yu said calmly, "That's not right. Aren't you supposed to have A-level fighting talent? And... didn't you say you were going to protect the female classmates in the team? You're not going to be unable to defeat a zombie, are you?"

"I..."

Zhang Zihao choked, his face turning even redder: "I really can't beat them, because nobody can!"

In fact...

When they saw the rapidly crawling, murky-eyed monster, they were terrified.

Without even the courage to look again, everyone scrambled out in a panic.

Seeing Zhang Zihao's embarrassment, Deng Yuxin quickly added, "Chen Yu, it's not Zihao's fault. That zombie... it was indeed too terrifying. We absolutely cannot confront it head-on!"

Chen Yu listened quietly, his face remaining expressionless.

Zhang Zihao was clearly exaggerating the threat of zombies in order to save face.

But then again, considering my previous life...

The first time I encountered a hanged ghost, it looked the same.

Just then—

A cold, unannounced notification sounded in my mind:

The status of Abandoned Residential Area No. 7 has been changed to: Abnormal.

[Anomaly Description: Low-threat units are more active, and the probability of medium-low threat units appearing is increased]

[Duration of this anomaly: 21600…21599…21598…]

[Please exercise caution and take precautions to avoid death until the countdown ends.]

The sound disappeared.

The supermarket fell into a deathly silence.

The sky outside the window seemed to grow even darker and more gloomy at that moment.

An invisible pressure suddenly spread.

"Six hours have passed, abnormal status..."

"In other words, the zombie we just encountered was in an abnormal state!"

Zhang Zihao's expression changed: "As expected, this 'Survival Road' isn't that simple. There are zombies at the very first stop, damn it..."

He began in a low voice, "What do we do next..."

"Chen Yu".

Zhang Wanyue suddenly looked to the side: "What do we do next?"

Zhang Zihao's lips twitched as he watched everyone staring at Chen Yu.

In an instant, all the vinegar jars were overturned.

Originally, he and several beautiful female classmates were trying to survive together, and the experience was not bad.

As an awakener of combat talent.

He should be the main character.

He's the one who deserves the female classmates' favor.

But the sudden appearance of a pretty boy who can predict the future is really annoying.

Even if this guy can predict the future, we still have to get rid of him.

Otherwise, you'll only become less and less valued within the team...

Chen Yu said calmly, "In that case, we can't leave the supermarket for now. Quickly move all the heavy, movable items, shelves, counters, and block the main entrance and windows."

"good!"

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng nodded repeatedly.

Deng Yuxin and Zhang Wanyue chimed in, "We'll go right now!"

Zhang Zihao spoke with a somewhat gloomy tone: "Who can disobey a prophet's words? Chen Yu, I just hope you'll stop playing those divisive tricks..."

Chen Yu smiled slightly but did not reply.

After everyone completely blocked the doors and windows, the sense of security returned instantly.

Chen Yu glanced around: "First, organize the supermarket's supplies. I'll manage the 30-slot communal backpacks for team supplies. As for the individual 10-slot backpacks..."

"Class representative, pack one compartment of chocolate, one compartment of canned meat, one compartment of hemostatic supplies, one compartment of girls' clothing, and the rest can be anything, but leave three compartments empty."

"Deng Yuxin, Li Mengyao, Wang Mengmeng, each of you pack one compartment of compressed biscuits (staple food), one compartment of water, one compartment of metal tools, one compartment of disinfectant tablets, and one compartment of daily consumables. You must leave two compartments empty."

"Zhang Zihao, you..."

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Do whatever you want."

"?"

Zhang Zihao was stunned at first, then his anger surged to the top of his head!
