Rebirth of MC

Steel swords in hand, Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan walks towards the shopping mall. Its entrance doors are still very much intact, showing that looters have yet to come here to scavenge for supplies.

Long Zhanye's knowledge is vast, the subjects he knows well ranging from important necessities to trivial matters. For example, how to break into a locked buildingeven the mall's metal gates and its supposedly anti-theft lock easily opens under his administrations, using only a piece of thin metal wire and wriggling it around a few times.

Entering the mall, the pair is met with a scene of disarray. Various kinds of snacks and goods are strewn all over the floor with a few motionless bodies added to the mix, all sporting broken heads.

"Looks like the inside isn't as safe as its tightly-shut gates imply." Sweeping his eyes over his surroundings, Long Zhanye walks up to a wall and runs his fingers over it. When the lights above remain unlit following two loud smacks, it is pretty evident that the electricity within this building has been disconnected. "I'll go scout ahead. Be careful when you collect the goods."

"I know." A sweet feeling rises in Huo Zaiyuan's heart at Long Zhanye's words of concern.

Resting the flat of the blade on his shoulder, Long Zhanye moves soundlessly between the aisles just as Huo Zaiyuan commence rummaging through the goods on the ground first, tossing salvageable foodstuffs and any items that may have use in the future into his space. Although he purchased bulks of necessities before the apocalypse, that only comes down to a small portion of his total stockpile. The majority of it was food. Now with Long Zhanye, Qin Jun and Li Qing travelling with him, items like shampoo, body wash, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc that he had stored away are steadily decreasing. It will only be a matter of time before he runs out. Hence, when Li Qing suggested staying the night in the shopping mall, he already made plans to raid this place clean.

His interdimensional space is enormous, so he is not worried about running out of place to put everything. Besides useless objects like children's toys and rotten perishable goods like mouldy cakes, Huo Zaiyuan grabs everything else, even the fridge full of beverages.In a scant few minutes, the first level is just about emptied out. Done, he moves on to the second floor.

The mall's second level is for clothes, bedsheets and quilts. In the year of preparation, Huo Zaiyuan actually sold off some of his old clothes and bed, a deed he deeply regrets due to the fact that production of these items ceased immediately once Judgement Day began. One will eventually run out sooner or later. Faced with this entire floor, Huo Zaiyuan happily begins to dash here and there. Bedsheets, comforters, mosquito nets, curtains and clothes of every kind, whether they be male or female are all thrown into his space.

"Little Yuan." The Long Zhanye who wandered off to who-knows-where suddenly appears, the blade of his sword stained with yellow and red smears. Needless to say, the dangers within this mall have been eliminated.

"There were zombies in here?" Huo Zaiyuan asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Three amongst the aisles below, two in what I assume is the staff office, and there's probably something stuck behind a steel door." Long Zhanye reports with a smile. "I couldn't open it to get to whatever's within. The door must be barricaded from the inside."

"You are saying there might be living humans in that room?" Huo Zaiyuan's movement pauses for a second.

"Maybe there are survivors, but it's also possible there arezombies. Or even dead bodies!" Stabbing the sword into the ground, he looks at Huo Zaiyuan. "Beloved, do you want to call the villagers in first or go to that room to take a look?"

"Let the villagers in first. The sky is almost dark. I'll go set up the barriers now." The meaning behind his word is very clear. The task to call the villagers in falls to Long Zhanye.
