Chapter 277
“1-1 can’t see anrything anymore
Digby clutched his eyes as his classmates scattered, stumbling backward in panic.
“1-It hurts. Everything hurts. Lizzie Lizzie where are you?
“Don’t come any closer!” Lizzie backed away in terror, When she hit a shelf, her foot slipped, and she fell hard to the floor.
Digby suddenly dropped his hands. There was no trace of life left on his face. His eyes had surned a dead gray, empty and fixed on Lizzie. Then, like a wild animal, he lunged at her
At that exact moment, a cold saber flashed down from the second floor.
The blade skewered Digby mid-leap, pinning him to the shelf on the right. The saber went clean through from front to back.
The light slowly drained out of his zombie eyes
The students all turned pale
Their hearts were pounding A few of the girls gagged and threw up on the spot, breaking down in tears.
Lizzie stared at Digby’s lifeless body, frozen where she salt.
Just then, loud pounding came from both the front and back doors. The zombies outside howled and slammed against them again and again.
Those flimsy doors wouldn’t hold much longer
The students looked up toward the second floor and rushed over to Hayley.
Hayley kept loading medicine into her pack. By now, she had already cleared nearly half of the second-floor shelves. A young boy walked up to her, holding her saber in both hands.
“Um… Miss, your knife.” He carefully handed it to her.
Hayley barely glanced at him. With a soft click, she slid the blade back into its sheath.
The boy’s eyes went even wider when he saw how effortlessly she did it. He watched her silently stock up on medicine for a moment, then finally worked up the courage again.
“Uh, are you collecting meds? I can help you!”
This was the first time Hayley looked at him properly. Out of all the students, he was the only one who had come over to her. The girls were huddled together, checking each other over and comforting Lizzie. The other two boys stood off to one side, whispering while glancing between her and the girls.
Hayley tilted her head slightly. “Grab a big bag and fill the shelves over there.”
Bradley Sherman nodded immediately. “Got it!”
Hayley continued leading medicine, mentally scanning labels as she worked.
She had found nearly everything on Ruby’s list. And she didn’t waste the other items, either.
She took everything she could get her hands on.
She also noticed the rest of the store. All the food was gone. Even the supplements, the kind people used to treat like luxury health products, had been torn open and eaten.
