Chapter 136: Chapter 136: The Yellow Sparrow is Behind

"Let’s go quickly!"

Jhiang Yuan zipped up her bag and clutched it tightly to her chest.

Now that Song Yi was here, she couldn’t just throw it into the void.

Fortunately, she hadn’t brought much with her.

The two of them began to run frantically, accompanied by many others who had also narrowly escaped from the supermarket.

However, most of them were injured, and their conditions were not good.

Jhiang Yuan herself had been attacked, and now she was too occupied to mind the pain.

Seeing her run slowly, Song Yi turned around, grabbed her hand, and ran towards the diagonal side of the road.

Down below was the road leading down the mountain.

The crowd scattered, with a large part heading down.

Very few ran upwards, probably the villagers living nearby.

With more people outside, the chaos intensified.

One person was knocked down by another, and others pounced to rob the two of their belongings.

The end result was three people fighting desperately together, with a sense of deadly intent.

She was pulled by Song Yi, making their way to a commercial street nearby.

It seemed to have suffered damage earlier, as the glass doors were shattered; the two did not dare to be careless and directly went up to the fourth floor.

Outside was also unsafe as most people had come out, swarming at the intersection.

Compared to the brutality inside, the situation outside was even more horrific.

During the robbery, someone pulled out a Tang Sword.

In the struggle for food, those who couldn’t fight effectively simply stuffed it into their mouths.

Regardless of whether death awaited them the next second, the two made it all the way up.

Jhiang Yuan was panting heavily, feeling fortunate to have survived the ordeal.

"The situation below is unstable, let’s hide here for a while," she suggested.

"Alright!"

Though that was said, the upper floors weren’t safe either!

They were too close, and there was no guarantee that other survivors wouldn’t run up here too.

When that happened, it would be another fierce battle, unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to see that situation arise, as staying alive was the most crucial thing now.

The fourth floor turned out to be a café.

Behind the cashier’s counter, there were two small windows that provided a view of the supermarket across the street.

Because they were not the main feature, the windows were quite high and not very large.

They seemed to be there for ventilation, and Song Yi had to move a chair over and stand on it to see outside.

Quick to react, Jhiang Yuan, moved two large tables to block the door.

By then, the locks in the store had already been broken.

When they arrived, the door had been open.

Although she knew that these tables wouldn’t be much of an obstruction,

it was, at least, a psychological comfort. After securing the entrance, she too moved a chair over, ready to keep an eye on their foes.

"What’s it look like outside?" she asked.

Song Yi didn’t turn around but softly shushed her, prompting her to also keep quiet immediately.

Quiet as thieves, they both stood up to look.

Goodness, the scene outside was horrific.

The peak of the violence seemed to have passed.

Besides those fleeing, small groups were still fighting over supplies.

They were all at their last gasp; the area in front of the supermarket at the intersection looked like hell on earth.

People were lying around haphazardly, blood everywhere. Due to the cold weather, the blood quickly frothed and then froze on the ground.

There was also a group of injured people who couldn’t get up and were only able to lie on the ground moaning.

Jhiang Yuan, smelling the pungent stench of blood and still not over her recent traumatic experience,

truly felt nauseous, as if her stomach was churning violently.

"What’s wrong?" asked Song Yi, noticing her pale face and thinking she was scared.

"I feel like vomiting... oh... cough cough..."

She did indeed start to retch, but nothing came out.

Fearing that any noise might reveal their location, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Song Yi saw the situation and immediately took out a small thermos from his pocket.

After unscrewing it, he handed it directly to her.

"Have some water!"

It was still hot, emitting wisps of steam.

"No need, I have hot water in my backpack."

Her refusal was almost subconscious, making Song Yi somewhat displeased. He directly placed the water in front of her.

His tone was almost commanding, without a hint of warmth, "Drink!"

Um...

Alright...

In such a situation, there really was no need for pretense anymore. They were about to die; what was there to fuss about?

It was ridiculous of her to worry that Song Yi would lose patience; she hurriedly took it.

"Yo, brothers, it seems we’ve arrived just in time!"

A gulp of hot water made her feel much better.

Hearing this voice, she was also surprised, quickly screwed the cap back on, and ran up to see what was happening.

She saw a group of about twenty or thirty people coming up from below, every one of them armed.

The man leading wore a military coat and was carrying a long blade nearly the same size as her Tang Sword.

"Come on, today is the day you achieve glory, charge!"

At the command of the man in the military coat, those below charged into the supermarket like they were injected with adrenaline.

Those who hadn’t come out before were now in trouble.

Jhiang Yuan saw the person emerging from the door; vaguely, it appeared to be the boss they had encountered before.

Seeing the unfriendly approach, he wasn’t foolish; he turned and ran.

But could he really run far?

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The people inside had just endured a fierce battle and were already wounded.

Even if they were lucky enough to be unharmed, they were exhausted.

With so many people overwhelming them, that couldn’t end well.

And moreover, that boss seemed to be heading to the small room under the stairs.

Unfortunately...

As expected, the air was filled with horrific screams and the sounds of bloodthirsty slaughtering.

"What are they doing?"

"They’ve booked the whole place."

Song Yi’s explanation was brief but sent chills down her spine.

"Look quickly..."

No wonder he was surprised; the man in the military coat had just killed a survivor who ran out at the crossroads with a single stroke of his blade.

Then he walked in laughing "haha," how demonic he seemed.

Men die for wealth, as birds perish for food.

In this world now, there wasn’t a single good person left, including herself.

"What shall we do? If we stay any longer, I’m afraid we’ll be discovered."

Song Yi also realized that now this group had entered the supermarket.

But cleaning up the battlefield wouldn’t take long.

"Let’s go, we need to get down there quickly."

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan followed him down, moving aside the two tables at the door, and they then descended the stairs.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have bothered.

As they went downstairs and saw a small head poking out from the neighboring building, she sighed inwardly.

Indeed, what they could think of, others could too.

Song Yi took out his dagger, ready to charge over.

There was no one there now, and if they were discovered later, because there was some distance, it wouldn’t be so easy to catch up.

Jhiang Yuan thought about circumventing through the neighboring school, but feared danger inside it too.

After weighing her options, she decided to stick with him.

"Run!"

After saying that, Song Yi grabbed her, and they started racing away.
