Ruan Qing subconsciously looked over; the commotion just now had attracted the approaching zombies on the street.
Due to the earlier panic, someone had opened the latch on the glass door in an attempt to escape.
Seeing the approaching zombies outside, the person frantically tried to secure the glass door, but the more panicked they became, the less successful they were.
The zombies outside, likely attracted by the scent of humans, rushed forward, relentlessly banging against the glass door.
The impact caused a crack in the glass door, and a zombie even managed to reach a hand through the opening, attempting to grab the living inside.
The person inside was terrified, tears streaming down their face, and their body trembling with fear.
Wanting to let go, the youth stopped the person. “Don’t let go!”
Releasing the door would allow all the zombies outside to enter the supermarket.
The youth spoke while running to the glass door, helping to support it.
However, the strength of the zombies, combined with one reaching inside, made it impossible to close the glass door.
The youth gritted his teeth, looking at everyone trembling in fear, “Everyone, help together; otherwise, if the zombies get in, none of us will survive.”
Many people were too scared to move, not daring to help.
But some understood the consequences of letting the zombies in and immediately rushed to the door to assist.
Others found tools and frantically struck the reaching zombie’s hand, attempting to force it back.
However, the zombie seemed oblivious to pain. Even as its hand became a bloody mess, it remained excited, reaching eagerly towards the glass door.
It was the excitement of seeing food.
Ruan Qing looked at Yan Ci beside him, who remained indifferent. After struggling for a while, he couldn’t free himself from Yan Ci’s grip.
He spoke softly, “Um...”
Yan Ci withdrew his gaze, lightly tapping his thin lips.
The meaning was clear; if Ruan Qing wanted help, it would come at a cost. Moreover, due to the recent events, Yan Ci straightforwardly added, “Right here.”
Ruan Qing, whose face had turned pale due to the zombie, blushed. He opened his mouth, saying, “I wanted to say, can you please let go of me...”
Yan Ci paused for a moment and released the hand that was around Ruan Qing’s waist.
Ignoring Yan Ci, Ruan Qing ran around the supermarket section. Eventually, he found the area where knives were sold.
He then picked up a knife and handed it over to the person vigorously, using a stick to smash the zombie.
The person glanced at the knife without paying attention to the one handing it over and instinctively took the knife.
Then the zombie’s hand was chopped down.
Probably hitting the bone. The hand wasn’t completely chopped off in one stroke; instead, the knife got stuck in the bone.
Even though the zombie’s hand was mostly severed, it still moved.
It looked terrifying.
The person withdrew the knife, gritted their teeth, and struck again.
This time, it finally got cut off.
Seeing this, others immediately used sticks to push the zombie out and closed the glass door.
Then a group of people leaned against the door with one person wedging it shut.
The door finally secured. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They then realized that Ruan Qing was the one who handed over the knife.
Many students were surprised; the school grass was handing out knives?
Wasn’t he scared by what just happened?
Clearly, the zombie earlier was about to pounce on him.
Thinking carefully, the school grass seemed gentle, but, indeed, there were no rumors of him being timid.
However, didn’t he just say the zombies were just sick?
But being bitten and not turning into a zombie was not comparable to those who had completely mutated.
After all, the former still retained their humanity.
They were still considered human before the mutation.
And if they hadn’t cut off the zombie’s hand just now, their group might all have died here.
The student glanced at the zombie on the ground with chopsticks stuck in its forehead.
...However, it could also be due to being frightened.
Everyone had the same idea.
Although a strong-looking middle-aged man next to them didn’t lend a hand to hold the door, he muttered quietly, “If he hadn’t insisted on letting people in, we wouldn’t have so much trouble.”
The man’s murmurs were not exactly hushed; most people present could hear them.
Another person standing beside the middle-aged man, who also didn’t help, whispered in agreement, “Indeed, if he hadn’t insisted to save people, things wouldn’t be this complicated.”
Both of them only talked about Ruan Qing but dared not speak of Yan Ci.
Ruan Qing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, his face paled a bit, but he remained silent.
The youth, who had been maintaining a cold expression, furrowed his brow. He didn’t agree to open the door, but he also disapproved of completely blaming one person for the situation.
Just as the youth was preparing to sarcastically comment, the middle-aged man spoke quietly again.
“The zombie earlier just attacked him. Could he have been bitten?”
The youth halted and immediately looked at the silent young man.
There were bloodstains on the young man, but they were there before entering the supermarket. The blood stained a large area around his waist.
It was unclear whether it was someone else’s blood or his own.
However, his clothes showed no signs of damage, and it was impossible to tell if the injuries were caused by zombies.
Seeing everyone looking at him with widened eyes, Ruan Qing, with a delicate face, showed a hint of confusion. “I haven’t.”
“I haven’t been bitten.”
The youth furrowed his brow, speaking coldly, “That man earlier said the same thing.”
“Besides, someone who’s been bitten wouldn’t admit it.”
Ruan Qing immediately rolled up both sleeves, revealing his elbows. “I have no wounds on my body. I really haven’t been bitten.”
Everyone stared at the young man’s almost translucent and flawless skin, captivated by his slender and delicate elbows, completely free of any blemishes.
Extremely pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, there were indeed no wounds on them.
Yan Ci casually spoke, “It’s just that there are no injuries on your arms; who knows if there are any unseen wounds elsewhere?”
Ruan Qing widened his eyes, looking at Yan Ci in astonishment.
Clearly, he should have known.
Known that the zombie didn’t touch him at all.
He was the one who directly pulled him away before the zombie touched him.
Perhaps sensing Ruan Qing’s confusion, Yan Ci explained, “It was too urgent at that time, and I didn’t see clearly.”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing pursed his lips, and a layer of mist appeared in his beautiful eyes, giving off a sense of vulnerability and helplessness.
There was also a hint of being unjustly accused.
Others hesitated for a moment.
Unable to confirm whether Ruan Qing had been injured by the zombie just now.
After all, everyone was in a panic when they saw the zombie, and no one paid attention to check on him.
They only remembered that the young man was very close at the zombie that time when it lunged at him.
It should... not be the case?
But the punk who saved him said so, and everyone became uncertain.
