Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

After saying that, Yu Xiaoyi and the others followed the suspended stair handrail all the way up to the second-floor platform. In front of them was the official entrance to the supermarket. She was excited. Having ingredients meant the possibility of various delicacies and precious exchange points. Holding the stick tightly in her hand, Yu Xiaoyi strode forward and said: Food babies, welcome!

Level 11 area is densely populated with zombies

Unlike the relatively empty environment on the first floor, the second floor does not have a large amount of food supply, but it is filled with a variety of daily necessities, which is also worth exploring. Yu Xiaoyi followed the crowd and went there after everyone had walked by, picking out the products that were meaningful to her and putting them into her personal space as much as possible. Although many products can be exchanged for other items in the personal space, and almost any need can be met in the space except food, Yu Xiaoyi really doesn't want to waste any unnecessary exchange when considering the value of points.

As we followed the team and slowly moved upwards, we found that the zombies in the supermarket were scattered. Human mutation usually occurs in the early morning, so in the current time period, especially in the daily consumer goods area, the frequency of zombies should be relatively low. It is expected that there may be more people gathered in the upper areas, such as around the shelves of vegetables, fruits, milk and eggs, resulting in relatively more zombies there.

The gathering of people often indicates an increase in the number of zombies. This logic can be fully demonstrated by going to the hospital during the apocalypse. Therefore, doctors and nurses are extremely scarce during the apocalypse. When ordinary people fall ill at home and become superpowers, they may also become zombies. What's more cruel is that even if healthy people come to the hospital to receive patients, many of them can escape and save their lives after the sudden spread of zombies. This situation makes medical staff extremely rare and full of dangers.

There are indeed very few surviving medical staff in this life. Many of them escaped in rural herbal medicine shops or private clinics, or fate favors some lucky people. Only a few are as lucky as Shang Yun.

This has created a situation where even if medical equipment is delivered to the headquarters base, there are still few people who can use it. The solution to medical problems is often limited by the dilemma of no one being able to perform surgery, and all of this limits the practical application and scalability of the solution to a certain extent. Therefore, the scarcity of medical supplies and the lack of professionals have jointly created a cruel scene of uneven resource distribution.

At this critical moment, "the second floor is relatively safe", which is particularly important for the action guidance of the Peng brothers, Zhang Sheng, Shang Yun and others. In contrast, Yu Xiaowei in the "rear" is more practical and has an exploratory spirit. He will put anything he finds useful into his bag. Not long after, when looking for the elevator passage to the "third floor", "they" quickly gathered together and headed towards this level.

Arriving at the food area on the third floor, it marked a new level for their mission. Faced with the situation of "too many zombies", everyone had to make a choice. Peng's eldest brother "Peng Leqing" was one of the leaders. He was familiar with handling such situations and decisively instructed everyone to explore first. "First check the specific situation on the lower floor."

However, at this stage, the situation became complicated by the "abnormally crowded zombies on the food floor". "People live on food", even in the abnormal weather before the disaster, so it was surprising to see so many foods gathered in the supermarket, which should have been quiet in the "morning".

When Yu Xiaowei noticed this, she was far enough away from them and "did not join the escape." After looking around, she found that her eyes finally fell on a fire door. "Second Master, let's go that way." After making the decision, she ran straight to the front of the door and took out the "key chain" and "blade" in her hand to open the "heavy" door to deal with the upcoming situation.

As soon as the door opened, the voice of "Zhang Sheng" was heard by everyone, urging them to "go quickly". However, Yu Xiaowei stopped the "movement forward" and gave advice to the people standing at the door hesitating, "Second Master, you can't go in."

Just when the Peng brothers were about to rush into the danger zone, the "smart" Yu Xiaowei stopped them, "Let you go in first and close the door leaving a gap, we will follow you." Peng Leqing was quite happy to see this situation, which meant that there was a great possibility that they had found a hiding place.

In stark contrast, Zhang Sheng chose to wait rather than rush in. Peng Leqing galloped on the side and shouted, "Hurry up!" before preparing to enter this hopeful haven himself.

But at the "critical moment", Yu Xiaowei stopped the "rush" and reminded, "Don't rush in", because she understood that "once the door is closed too late, the zombies will inevitably pour in", which will put them in a passive situation of "closing the door", causing them to be trapped inside the door by zombies.

This crisis showed the subtle differences in human nature - some people prioritized finding a way to escape in an emergency, while others insisted on being calm and rational at critical decision points. Yu Xiaowei's decision-making and reaction speed once again demonstrated that she is a trustworthy and respectable character in the disaster.

"Brother Peng, please go over there and take a look at the shelf against the wall." Yu Xiaowei said at this time. He did not go inside, but gave instructions to Peng Leqing instead.

At this moment, Peng Leqing observed that Zhang Sheng and others were beginning to climb toward the shelves placed near the wall, and was confused by Yu Xiaowei's behavior. However, Peng Leqing could not choose any other path - they had already pressed the elevator switch, and if they did not act quickly, they might be trapped in the elevator room and be blocked by zombies. So the brothers hurriedly climbed up the shelves next to them, and Zhang Sheng and Shang Yun also climbed up. Only Yu Xiaowei himself did not climb up the shelf, but climbed in front of the heavy door, straddling the front side of the storage fire door, and swung a stick to hit the wall, causing the door to tilt slightly.

"What does this girl want to do?" Looking at Yu Xiaowei's strange behavior, Peng Leqing asked his brothers in confusion.

The other three people all expressed that it was difficult to understand Yu Xiaowei's plan. A moment later, the zombies that caught up with them, except for Shang Yun, who had fewer zombies due to his light ability, were surrounded and attacked by the zombies. Zhang Sheng used his chain gun to accurately pick out the zombies one by one, and the effect was quite good.

On the other hand, the Peng brothers each did their best to eliminate the zombies surrounding them; only Yu Xiaowei sat alone on the gate without making any moves, and as a result, the zombies were most densely packed where she was.

"Xiaowei, how are you planning to defend yourself?" Zhang Sheng asked worriedly when he saw the gate shaking due to the constant pressure from the zombies.

"Don't worry, Second Master, you will know when you see it." After a moment of distraction, Yu Xiaowei looked up at the sloped elevator. After seeing that the number of zombies above began to decrease, she calmly took out the cloth bag wrapped in blood.

Past experience taught her that although these blood clots usually took up some space, they could save lives at critical moments. Therefore, no matter how narrow the space was in her previous life, it could not stop her from leaving some space in it to store blood bags.

After taking the package off, Yu Xiaowei used a toothpick to pierce several small holes in the vacant space, and then poured the entire package directly into these holes.

The zombies that sensed the fresh blood immediately changed their targets and crowded into that position, vying for blood food. At this time, Yu Xiaowei was not in a hurry, and threw in another bag of blood every once in a while until there were no more extra zombies nearby. At this time, she shouted: "Second Master, please close the door quickly and let Brother Yun help with the defense."

As he was speaking, Yu Xiaowei jumped out of the door, and Shang Yun's supernatural attack caused the zombies beside him to fall down. Zhang Sheng quickly landed on the ground and joined forces with Yu Xiaowei to close the door.

After closing the door, Yu Xiaowei clapped his hands a few times and smiled and called to the Peng brothers on the other side: "Brother Peng, can we go upstairs to get the food now? Abandoning the food? That's obviously not my style. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I will never think of doing this."

Because ever since they tricked a large group of zombies into the warehouse for shelter, the group has been dealing with the scattered zombies and went to the food area on the third floor.

However, for some unknown reason, after they started the operation, Peng Lebin, the third son of the Peng family, followed him all the time, and his behavior of following closely behind made the plan of collecting ingredients difficult. Therefore, Yu Xiaowei became deeply annoyed with Peng Lebin.

"Peng Lebin, how long are you going to follow me? Go get the ingredients, why are you following me?" After restraining himself for a long time, Yu Xiaowei could no longer bear it and turned around and yelled at Peng Lebin.

"I...hehe, I want to protect you." Peng Lebin replied with a smile on his face, but in fact, he was suspicious of Yu Xiaowei's behavior. She was different from the other girls. He noticed her unique ability in choosing weapons, and therefore thought that she knew many things they didn't know.

Just yesterday, when Yu Xiaowei brought her bowl of braised beef noodles, Peng Lebin felt more excited than ever before. He found that there were many girls following him before the end of the world, but no one could compare to the girl who was following him now. She was special and different.

In order to prove his point, the way everyone was saved from Yu Xiaowei just now was beyond everyone's expectations. He couldn't help but sigh at how good his choice was. From now on, no matter where he went, he would follow behind Yu Xiaowei and become her protector.

"I don't need your protection. It's good enough that you don't get in the way anymore." Yu Xiaowei's calm voice was a little cold. She knew that most men would retreat in the face of her attitude, and then she turned around and left without hesitation.
