Bang!
Zhang Chen leaped directly from the second floor of the supermarket, landing heavily on the roof of a car parked on the street.
He crushed a large section of the car's roof.
He turned to look at the entrance of the hamburger restaurant.
He wanted to have another meal of "junk food" from a chain restaurant before he crossed back.
It wasn't that Zhang Chen really craved "junk food," but time was of the essence.
There were no longer 3 minutes left; only a little over 2 minutes remained.
This amount of time was only enough for him to zero-yuan shop for burgers, fried chicken, and fries.
Chinese food required cooking, and this time was insufficient. kAnshu5.ξà
"Hoo hoo..."
"Ugh..."
A few zombies were attracted by the loud noise Zhang Chen made as he landed.
Abandoning the flesh they were gnawing on, they let out strange cries and charged towards him.
"A nostalgic version of the apocalypse?!"
Looking at these two ordinary zombies with purple veins crawling all over their skin, Zhang Chen couldn't help but recall how he looked when he first transmigrated.
He was indeed a bit nostalgic!
Ding! The sharpened Tang saber is completed!
A Tang saber instantly appeared in Zhang Chen's hand.
Swish, swish!
He swung the Tang saber in his hand with almost no effort.
The heads of the two zombies were cleanly sliced in half, and the severed heads, due to the immense impact, flew high into the air before landing on the ground.
"Please, open the door, open the door quickly!"
A young man wearing a hamburger restaurant uniform was desperately banging on the glass door.
His face was full of anxiety, and although he was banging with high frequency, he didn't dare to use any force.
His urgent voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.
This man was smart; he knew that using too much force would attract zombies.
Taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding zombies were distracted by the fleeing survivor he was attracting, and those who were engrossed in devouring the flesh of a recently killed survivor.
If the people inside the store opened the door, this employee would definitely be able to get in safely.
However, inside the hamburger restaurant, a group of customers stared at the man with blank expressions, showing no intention of helping.
"I'm sorry, for everyone's safety, we cannot let you in. If you were bitten by a zombie, then everyone in this room would be finished!"
The leading survivor inside was a middle-aged man in a suit. He refused expressionlessly.
"I wasn't bitten, see I don't have any wounds, nor are there any bloodstains on my clothes!"
"Besides, if I hadn't lured the zombies away just now, you wouldn't have been able to enter the hamburger restaurant safely, and you probably would have been eaten by zombies by now!"
"You can't treat me like this!"
The waiter was scared, nervous, and also a bit regretful and helpless, his voice had become hoarse.
"We didn't ask you to save us. You ran out on your own to lure away the zombies. We are all adults, and adults should bear the consequences of their actions. Don't just beg like a child!"
The man in the suit said with an unruffled expression.
"Yeah, even if you hadn't rushed out, we could have entered the hamburger restaurant safely. You were completely unnecessary!"
"Exactly, acting all heroic, and now you're acting like a coward..."
"The news reported it just now, the zombie virus is highly contagious. You say you have no wounds, so you have no wounds? Don't be ridiculous. If I were you, I'd use this time to hide in other shops. Wasting time here..." kǎnδ
Others around also chimed in one after another.
Even his companion, who was also a waiter, silently lowered his head and chose to remain silent.
In the face of fear, all friendships are just props.
"Uh... excuse me, I'm in a hurry!"
Zhang Chen reached out and patted the male waiter, motioning him to step aside.
"No one opening this door is possible..."
The man in the suit's words were not finished.
Then, a loud bang was heard.
The entire tempered glass door shattered, and the entire door frame flew out, knocking over three or four survivors who were blocking the door.
"Ah!~"
"Monster!~"
"Run!~"
For a moment, women's screams and men's exclamations were heard one after another.
Zhang Chen ignored these people and quickly walked behind the counter.
He reached out and collected the burgers, fries, and fried chicken inside into his ring.
At this moment, some customers in the store had escaped, while others were terrified and hiding in the corners, like frightened quails, not daring to move.
Only the employee who was blocked at the door earlier was holding a broom, looking nervously at Zhang Chen.
"Heh, even at this point, you're still thinking of being a savior?"
"I'll give you a chance to see if you can succeed!"
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and tossed the Tang saber in his hand.
This thing was no longer useful in his original apocalyptic world. Keeping it in his ring just took up space.
It was better to do a favor.
The waiter tightly gripped the Tang saber, feeling it filled with power, which invigorated him!
"Thank you!"
He said.
However, he found that the mysterious man in front of him had disappeared.
He had simply vanished into thin air in the hamburger restaurant...
...
Hoo, I'm back?!
Zhang Chen looked at the soft light nearby and the empty space.
He was back on the plaza of the underground palace.
Xiao Ruan slowly poked its head out of his pocket, as if asking if it could come out for some fresh air.
"Come out, you're free now, just don't get lost!"
Zhang Chen said.
Xiao Ruan seemed to understand Zhang Chen's words and immediately flew out of his pocket.
It circled Zhang Chen cheerfully.
Zhang Chen looked up at the situation on the ground.
The blizzard had not yet subsided; the scenery was almost the same as before.
Zhang Chen then checked the system time: 4:53 PM...
Hiss...
Zhang Chen remembered that the time was around 4:50 PM when he released Xiao Ruan.
This meant that he had only stayed in the parallel world for less than thirty minutes, yet only 3 minutes had passed in the apocalyptic world?!
The time flow between parallel worlds was not equivalent!
The time flow in this parallel world he transmigrated to was faster than that of the apocalyptic world.
In that case, did it mean there would be worlds with the same time flow as the apocalyptic world, and parallel worlds with a slower time flow?
He had to be careful.
What if he entered a parallel world with a slower time flow? For example, 1 minute in the parallel world equals 1 hour in the apocalyptic world.
Then, if he stayed there for 30 minutes, a day would have passed in the apocalyptic world.
This was a terrifying thought.
Because the suppression in the apocalyptic world had not been completely lifted yet.
If he went out to wander in a parallel world and returned to find that the apocalyptic world had entered its third stage, he would truly regret it! kǎns hu lǎ
Zhang Chen returned to the underground palace and went to Xiaobai's room.
She was now in the same room as Shirley.
The little one was fast asleep, her blanket kicked off the bed. She was sprawled out on the bed.
Zhang Chen quietly walked to her side and lightly touched the back of her head.
Done!
