After she gave the old man the hypermarket’s address, Bai Yingxia took the receipt and left the market area. When she sat in the driver’s seat, she put the tang sword and longsword into the house inside her space.
While she was on the way back to her apartment, she suddenly recalled that she didn’t have any strings or accessories needed for the compound bows and crossbows.
It seemed that she needed to check the location of the factory producing these items and make a note to do a ’zero-dollar’ purchase at the beginning of the apocalypse.
When she arrived at her apartment compound, it was already sunset. Instead of going home directly, she went to the roadside stall and bought 4 portions of malatang.
Besides dinner, she also bought some sodas and mineral water from the minimarket near her apartment building before she returned home.
After she parked her car, she took the elevator to her floor. When she opened the door, she saw the living room was full of boxes, and there were only Lu Jiaojiao and Xu Mei there.
Bai Yingxia changed her shoes and placed the food she bought on the low coffee table in the living room. "Where is Wang He?" she asked.
"Brother Wang went to send the packages to the postal office," Lu Jiaojiao replied softly.
Bai Yingxia nodded when she heard this and said, "I bought malatang for everyone. Take a rest and eat first. You can continue tomorrow."
Since they were paid by the hour, it didn’t matter to her if they finished their task today or tomorrow. But for them, they wished to finish the work as soon as possible so they could take another job.
"Miss Bai, we can finish it today. It’s almost done," Xu Mei said.
Seeing that they insisted, Bai Yingxia didn’t say anything.
She went back to her room to take a shower and changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants. She then heated up her malatang and had her dinner while watching the CCTV recordings.
She increased the replay speed and finished watching them when she finished her dinner.
She nodded in satisfaction after watching the recordings. These people were diligent and trustworthy. She would give them a bonus when the task was done.
A few minutes later, she heard a doorbell and saw Lu Jiaojiao go to open the door. Seeing that it was Wang He, she said, "I bought malatang for your dinner."
Wang He was taken aback by her words and smiled. "Thank you, Miss Bai."
Since they were still working and the walk-in closet was located beside her bedroom, Bai Yingxia changed her plan to rest early. She sat on the couch and watched the news on her tablet.
Although she had the original soul’s memories, she rarely watched the news. So, she had no knowledge about the current situation in the country at all.
After an hour, she realized that the news reported on the TV channels was mostly being controlled by the government.
If she wanted to know the truth, she had to check unofficial channels. But these channels mostly had limited access. Without any insiders, it was impossible to get the links.
She thought for a moment and decided to check social media. Even though she had to filter the information from fake news, it was better than nothing.
She read the posts for more than 2 hours before a post caught her attention.
The poster was a university student who went mountain climbing during his vacation. He went with his friends, and when they were going down the mountain, they met a group of zombies.
Out of 15 people, only he and his girlfriend made it back alive.
They reported this incident to the police as soon as they returned to the city. But after days of investigation, the authorities concluded that these unlucky students were attacked by wild beasts and closed the case.
Even if they insisted that the ones attacking them were zombies, the authorities brushed them off. They told their friends and families, but no one believed them.
Everyone thought that they were suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after witnessing their friends’ tragic deaths. Some even suggested they visit a psychiatrist and get treatment.
Bai Yingxia read the comment section and frowned.
When she read the novel, she always wondered what caused the emergence of zombies. Even when she read the Chapters near the end of the story, the protagonist couple never found a cure or vaccine for the zombie virus.
The story ended with the protagonist couple taking the positions of base leaders and building a safe haven for humanity. But without solving the zombie virus, would there really be a safe place in this world?
The author never explained the cause of it, and never wrote how the apocalypse ended. It was the biggest plot hole in the entire story.
Now that she was living in this world, she felt that this matter was not as simple as she had thought before. There was always a cause and effect. There must be something that turned humans into zombies. But what was it?
Bai Yingxia was lost in her thoughts for a long time. She thought of countless possibilities that caused the zombie virus, but without any clues, it was impossible for her to solve this mystery.
Reaching this conclusion, she shook her head and sighed. As someone who didn’t even deserve a name in the story, it was not her place to investigate this matter.
Even if the sky fell, there would be big shots to hold it up. All she needed to do was prepare herself as best as she could and survive.
With this thought, she searched for a place where she could learn how to use guns, bows, and swords. There were several places with high ratings, but the prices were not low.
She considered several options before she decided to apply to the one with professionals as trainers. When she was done, she checked her watch and noticed that it was almost midnight.
