Zhou Yu felt that this youth was her prince in shining armor that had come to save her on his white horse. She immediately found a liking for the youth upon seeing him.
She was unable to endure seeing how everyone was pointing at Qin Yi. “Right, it is what it is. Your voices can attract those monsters, yet all of you are still scolding people. We can talk nicely, there is no need to talk loudly or harshly.”
Zhou Yu glanced at Qin Yi bashfully when she finished her sentence, hoping that the other party would notice her.
The others were infuriated upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words. She was clearly the first person to stir the situation but had somehow pushed the blame onto them.
But as everyone was afraid of attracting the monsters, they stared at Zhou Yu and did not speak further.
Qiu Chuxue, who was the short-haired girl beside Zhou Yu, sensed the hostility from the others. She tugged on Zhou Yu’s sleeves and whispered, “Zhou Yu, stop speaking already.”
Although Qiu Chuxue had whispered, Qin Yi heard her words clearly with her sharp senses.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes. She did not expect to meet a familiar person here.
Zhou Yu was Qin Jiaojiao’s classmate and was secretly in love with Qin Jiaojiao’s second brother, Qin Hanmo. Due to her affections, she constantly followed behind Qin Jiaojiao and fawned over her.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu never liked Qin Yi and constantly bullied her behind her back. Due to her naiveté, Qin Yi only felt that Zhou Yu’s dislike for her was because Qin Jiaojiao preferred playing with her. After the rebirth, she was well aware that everything was most probably instructed by Qin Jiaojiao.
Upon recalling the past, Qin Yi remembered that Zhou Yu was a famous person as well. Zhou Yu did not awaken any abilities in the past but always relied on the dual ability user Qiu Chuxue.
By relying on her, she became extremely unbridled and offended many people. Throughout it all, Qiu Chuxue always protected her and kept her safe.
In her previous life, before she was captured, Qin Yi lived a rather good life.
She recalled that Zhou Yu and Qin Jiaojiao met each other at the base and even fell out after that because of Qin Hanmo.
Qin Yi knew of Zhou Yu’s skills in annoying others. ‘If Zhou Yu and Qin Jiaojiao meet, heh, what a scene it’ll be.’
Qin Yi took an iron chain and entered the shopping center, completely disregarding the group of people.
Zhou Yu watched in astonishment as Qin Yi entered the premises but did not say anything. She had initially thought of following behind Qin Yi after seeing how strong she was. After all, she had not eaten for an entire night and was starving.
But upon recalling the monsters inside, she swallowed the words in her mouth and then instructed Qiu Chuxue beside her, “You go, I’m famished. Follow that boy and pick any leftovers.”
Qiu Chuxue looked at Zhou Yu with a strange look as a dark layer surfaced in her eyes, but she dragged her tired body and followed behind Qin Yi.
Many others had the thought of following, but upon thinking about the man-eating monsters, they retracted their legs. They glared at Qiu Chuxue with an ominous glint in their eyes, clearly having bad intentions brewing in their minds.
Qin Yi naturally discovered the tail behind her and pursed her lips, but she did not say anything. Back in her previous life when Zhou Yu had bullied her, Qiu Chuxue had helped her out multiple times. To Qin Yi, it was repaying the favor.
In fact, she was still unsure of why a good person like Qiu Chuxue would follow Zhou Yu. In the apocalypse, a dual ability user like her was held in extreme regard. Countless high-level squadrons were willing to rope her in but because of Zhou Yu, she ended up as a wandering ability user.
Although Qin Yi’s thoughts strayed, she never loosened her cautiousness. Very quickly, the zombies that caught the whiff of human scent pounced towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi brandished her large knife vigorously. One after another, she killed the first wave of zombies.
She noticed Qiu Chuxue covering her own mouth and struggling not to scream. Although her face was as pale as a sheet, her eyes were filled with determination. Qiu Chuxue nodded her head in satisfaction.
