It's Lu Zhao.

He appeared here alone.

Did he notice? If he did, would he still give me a chance to get close? It's better to take advantage of no one around and just...

Before I could finish my thoughts, another bolt of lightning flashed, and one-third of the zombies inside the supermarket disappeared.

Lu Zhao ran over and held my hand, running towards the outside.

But the zombies kept increasing while his powers were depleting.

Yet he didn't retreat or look back, always standing in front of me.

I watched him breathing heavily, killing one zombie after another.

"Yao Yao."

He had probably never been so disheveled before.

"I'll count to one, run forward, don't look back, got it?"

I suddenly looked up.

Lu Zhao dealt with the frenzied zombies and repeated again, "Understood?"

—Run forward, don't look back.

With a loud noise, the wind and rain roared outside, and lightning flashed, casting a pallor on my face.

I suddenly tightly gripped Lu Zhao's arm, pulling him as we ran out of the supermarket.

And those zombies didn't rush towards us again, but stood there dumbfounded, making way for us.

We ran swiftly, leaving behind the blurred and bloody scene behind us.

Leaving behind one monster after another.

After getting in the car, I gasped for breath, trembling all over, and looked at Lu Zhao.

The memories deeply concealed in my mind, covered by dense fog, finally struggled to emerge, tearing through all the haze and cruelly appearing before my eyes.

I almost killed him.

I almost killed Lu Zhao.

Unable to control the surging pain in my heart any longer, I lowered my head and spit out a mouthful of dark red blood.
