Cruel Abandonment

However, Zhao Tianlei believed that as long as the two of them didn't make too much noise, they wouldn't attract these zombies. The survivors in that small supermarket alone would be the best bait for these zombies.

Seeing that so many zombies could be attracted, Zhao Tianlei suddenly felt a strange curiosity. He immediately said to Cheng Yao beside him, "Cheng Yao, you find a safe place to hide first. I'll go take a look and see what's going on inside."

Upon hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, Cheng Yao quickly grabbed him, unwillingly saying, "Tianlei, are you going on an adventure again? We kindly saved people before, and we were bitten back by those drug dealers. If something happens to you this time, what will I do? No, I won't let you go alone. If you must go, you have to take me with you."

"Cheng Yao, not everyone is a drug dealer, and not everyone is a bad person. Within my abilities, if we just let those survivors die or live, what's the difference between our actions and those of the drug dealers before? If you really want to follow, then you must be careful. It's very dangerous here, and I don't even know what the situation is inside. Let's hide these backpacks first. We can come back for the packages after we rescue the survivors inside."

As Zhao Tianlei and Cheng Yao spoke, they chose a seemingly hidden spot and hid the two backpacks they were carrying, then crept towards the back of the small supermarket blocked by zombies.

It was called a small supermarket only because its area and scale were not large; at most, it could be considered a larger street-front shop. On both sides of the supermarket were other storefronts, with all sorts of shops. If there were indeed survivors inside, they had clearly come looking for food, and then inadvertently exposed their whereabouts or attracted the zombies here. With the howling of the zombies outside, more and more gathered. Under the constant pushing and pounding of the zombies, it was only a matter of time before the supermarket's rolling shutter door was breached.

"You guy want to get us killed. If it weren't for you, so many zombies wouldn't have gathered outside. Are you fing crazy for holding onto a dying person? If you want to die, go die yourself. Why are you dragging us down with you, you b***."

Others chimed in, "Exactly, this guy is a jinx. We really should have kicked him out back then. Keeping him here just makes people more annoyed the more they look at him."

Just as Zhao Tianlei and Cheng Yao were bypassing the small supermarket along one side and climbing over the roof, they heard a burst of angry curses from inside as they reached the supermarket's rooftop. From these words, it was not difficult to tell that the appearance and encirclement of these zombies were caused by some people within this group, which had now caused chaos within the team. Facing the discussions and condemnation from everyone, the person being accused had not said a word, clearly admitting that he was the cause of everything.

Suddenly, a woman's voice shouted, "Xu Yang, are you out of your mind? At a time like this, you're still holding onto that dead person? Do you want to wait until she turns into a zombie and bites all of us before you're satisfied? Hurry up and smash her head before she turns. As long as her head is smashed, she won't turn into a zombie, and we'll be safe here for now."

Facing the woman's reprimand, the man named Xu Yang looked at her with an incredulous expression filled with sadness. "Lan Lan, how can you say that? She's my own sister! She's not dead yet, she's still alive... sob..."

Immediately, the woman hardened her heart and said to the man again, "Even if she's not dead and still alive, she's only clinging to life. So what if she's your sister? With the outbreak of the apocalypse, who here hasn't lost family? Let me tell you, after the apocalypse broke out, I personally saw my parents turn into zombies. They tore my sister to shreds, and I took the opportunity to escape."

"You care about your sister, but don't endanger us. From now on, you can hold your dying sister and have a good time reminiscing. When she turns into a zombie and eats you, don't regret it. I, this young lady, don't have the life to play with you. From now on, we're breaking up, and you don't need to worry about my affairs anymore. With my looks, there are so many people here. If I want, I can easily find someone stronger than you. Any man here is more reliable than you."

The woman's words were the cruelest blow to the man. No matter how he thought about it, he never expected his girlfriend to be so heartless. Not only did she disregard his sister's life, but she even broke up with him in front of so many people, completely trampling on his feelings and dignity.

Immediately, the man roared at the woman, "How can you be so heartless? You know little sister was bitten by those zombies because she saved you! Little sister genuinely likes you. Ever since she first saw you, she's treated you as her sister-in-law, as family. Now, after little sister saved you, not only are you not grateful, but you can't wait for her to die sooner? Are you even human? Why did I fall for you in the first place? Why..."

The man's sadness did not elicit any sympathy from the woman. Instead, she sneered at him, "Tch, you're crazy. With your poor and shabby appearance, you really thought you could eat swan meat like a toad? Pfft. If it weren't for the demolition of the urban village and your house being within the demolition scope, which would have resulted in several apartments, I wouldn't have lowered myself to be with you. Now that the apocalypse has arrived and there are monsters and zombies everywhere, who knows if we'll even be alive tomorrow. What use are your two broken houses? Following you, I've been constantly mocked by my sisters, and I'm almost ashamed to death. Now you want me to take care of your dying sister? What bad luck."

"You..." The man clearly hadn't expected his girlfriend to be this kind of person, that she never truly loved him and it was all for money. At that moment, the man felt betrayed. He held his dying sister with one arm and angrily pointed at his ex-girlfriend with the other, gritting his teeth.

Seeing the man glare at her, the woman not only wasn't scared but even showed a mocking tone, "What, you want to threaten me? Let me tell you, I never loved you. Why are you glaring at me? What does your sister's death have to do with me? It's not like I asked her to save me, she could have chosen not to. Being bitten by a zombie is her own fault. It would be great if you two died here together. Once this brat turns into a zombie later, we will definitely kill her. If you want to die, don't drag us down."
