In the south of Mingwen Girls' High School, there was a very bustling shopping plaza.
Usually at this time, the shopping plaza would be occupied by a group of aunties, forming a group carnival under Little Apple's singing.
Today, there was not a single person in the square. Regardless of rain or shine, the aunties probably did not dare to come here to sing and dance. This was because they had witnessed a pack of demonic wolves devouring their dance partners while they were singing and dancing last night.
The blood had been washed away by the rain, and the large plaza was left with some human limbs, looking at it a few more times would make one vomit.
Around the plaza, there were always some low roars and roars, and from time to time, a scream pierced through the silence, immediately knowing that another person had been found by the demons.
The shopping building occupied nearly a third of the plaza's area. This was a brand new shopping mall, but because of the wanton demons, it was completely damaged. Broken glass could be seen everywhere, the walls and doors were broken, and the floor was in a mess.
The first floor of the plaza was a Walmart supermarket. Human food was not very attractive to the demons, otherwise this place would soon become a gathering place for the demons.
The supermarket was very lucky, because they needed to take the elevator down, they had not been found by the demons.
The people hiding in the supermarket, one by one, sat helplessly on the ground, and could only pray, praying that the demons would never find this place.
"Are we going to be abandoned just like this?" A girl hugging her knees and sobbing in the corner asked softly.
"Most of the people outside are dead, we will be found here sooner or later." The supermarket manager sat there dejectedly, and said with a numb face.
"No, sitting here is just waiting for death, we have to go out, there is still a chance of survival." The man in charge of moving the supermarket goods said.
"I am a plumber, I have been doing this job for decades. You all follow me and go underground, you will not encounter the demons." A middle-aged skinny man wearing blue overalls said.
Everyone listened to the man, and their eyes lit up.
Listening to a teenager who had escaped here, they could see demons everywhere outside, and if they went to the surface, they would definitely be eaten by the demons in minutes. If they went underground, they could easily pass through the inscription to reach the safety barrier. Since there were workers who were familiar with the city's underground drainage system, they would not get lost.
"Go, go quickly, I don't want to stay in this damned place."
"That's right. Under Crimson Alert, those who don't retreat to the Safety Barrier basically have no hope of surviving …"
"Let's go, let's go. This place will be discovered by the demons sooner or later."
There were about 15 people in the supermarket. After hearing that there was a plumber leading the way, their eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
It just so happened that the supermarket had an entrance that led directly to the underground tunnel. This way, they had hope of retreating to the Safety Barrier.
Everyone quickly packed up and followed the plumber to the underground tunnel.
"Wait, you guys wait. Who can help? There's a girl in a wheelchair here. She shouldn't be able to walk …" A skinny girl hurriedly said to the group of people who were about to leave.
"She's crazy. Who can control her now?"
"That's right. You can't use a wheelchair in the sewers. Miss, if you want it, you should come with us," the fat supermarket manager said.
The plumber walked in front. The others pretended not to hear and quickly followed the plumber.
"Then who's going to carry her? I'm begging you, don't leave her behind. I'm begging you," the skinny girl was about to cry. She did not know what to do when she saw the people walking away.
There were a few people who turned their heads and looked at the girl in the wheelchair with pity. Unfortunately, they still turned their heads away …
They could not even protect themselves. If they encountered a demon in the underground tunnel, they would not be able to escape with a girl on their back.
"It's not good for us to do this. The girl looks quite pitiful," one of the women said softly.
"What do you mean it's not good? She can't walk herself. How can she blame us? If you think she's pitiful, you can carry her. Don't blame me for not telling you. There are a lot of pipes in the sewers that you have to climb. Some of the ladders will make your legs weak. We won't be able to reach the Safety Barrier in a day or two if we bring her along, "the plumber said.
"The supermarket might not be discovered by the demons. She can just wait for help there."
Everyone could not help but twitch their lips when they heard the words' wait for help '.
There was no chance of rescue under the Blood Alert. Most of the Magicians would be summoned to the Safety Barrier to ensure the safety of the people. Those who were still wandering outside would have to find a way to evacuate themselves.
Therefore, the girl in the wheelchair could only pray that the demons would never find the supermarket.
…
The supermarket was soon empty. The skinny girl who had spoken was still standing beside the girl in the wheelchair. She looked at the figures gradually disappearing into the distance. She was biting her lips so hard that they almost bled.
"Go with them," the girl in the wheelchair forced a smile and said to the unfamiliar girl beside her.
"I'm sorry … I really want to bring you with me," the skinny girl said awkwardly.
"It's fine, just follow them."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
The girl in the wheelchair seemed to have thought of something. She quickly took off her bracelet and handed it to the skinny girl, "If you reach the Safety Barrier, give this to my family …"
The skinny girl quickly remembered the information of the girl in the wheelchair and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I'll tell them and ask them to find a way to save you."
The girl in the wheelchair shook her head and said, "Please tell them that I've already died."
The skinny girl opened her mouth in shock. She did not know what to say for a moment.
In the end, the skinny girl turned around and left. She wanted to turn around several times, but she resisted the urge.
…
The cold light shone on the corner. The white-collar worker, Jia Qian, felt very uncomfortable. She thought that the men would stand up and be willing to carry the girl away, but they all left in a hurry …
Their indifference was chilling.
However, what could Jia Qian do? Her leg was still injured. It was already good enough that she could keep up with those people with a limp. There was no way she could carry the girl in the wheelchair.
The girl in the wheelchair looked very calm. When the people decided to leave her behind, she did not plead at all. There was not even a hint of panic and despair in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
Jia Qian bit her lips until they bled. In the end, she could only keep apologizing and running toward the people who had left.
In an instant, the entire supermarket was empty. There was only a simple and cheap wheelchair and a girl in a light green dress left …
Everyone had already left. Ye Xinxia slowly lowered her head. Her hair covered her face, and her small white palms were folded on her lap.
No matter how calm she was, the uneasiness would still spread. The best expression was that she unconsciously clutched her dress.
She did not blame those people in her heart. It was just like how she could not walk. Who could she blame?
Everyone had the right to live well.
However, when the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, when you didn't even know when you would die, the helplessness of being abandoned by the whole world would spread to every inch of your body. You wouldn't know whether to continue waiting in torment and helplessness like this, or to end everything once and for all. There was no need for you to linger on in this world.
She seemed to have made a decision. She slowly pushed the wheelchair and moved herself closer to the kitchen utensils.
She struggled to get up from the wheelchair and grabbed one of the sharp fruit knives.
She was able to stand up and walk a few steps, but her weak legs would soon tire her out.
She sat back on the wheelchair and slowly pushed it back to the previous position …
…
Jia Qian, who was about to leave the supermarket in the distance, saw Ye Xinxia's action. A hint of guilt spread in her heart once again.
Perhaps the girl in the wheelchair would end her own life when the demon beasts broke into the supermarket.
