Apocalypse Rebirth: Chief, Don't Move! Chapter 45

Chapter 45 – Robbers

unedited

“Big Sis, why do you want theses leather clothes instead of others?” Bai Xiaoxi followed after a happy Bai Ling while holding onto a bulging backpack . His sword was also strapped on horizontally at his lower back the same way Bai Ling did . He found it quite convenient to move around while having a weapon at his reach when needed .

It was a good idea to take the backpack since it leaves his hands free and it was more convenient when traveling through dangerous areas .

After staying at Bai Ling’s side for a while, he felt she was more and more unfathomable which made him trust her more and relied on her decisions for most of the time . He believed that even if the sky falls, she would have a way to rescue the day .

“Leather clothes had more durability and because of the smooth surface, it doesn’t get dirty easily . The most important thing is the protection it offers without hindering your movements . ” Although that kind of fashionable clothes doesn’t compare with real leather armor, it was better than nothing .

Bai Xiaoxi was stunned . He nodded mechanically . Her words were true . Leather doesn’t rip easily or get soaked with blood quickly . He touched his clothes . The quality of this leather was much better than the faux leather he wore before .

In addition, it could be sketched and allowed many movements without ripping or hindering .  No wonder Bis Sis didn’t mind facing countless zombies to go up here .

“Where are we going next?”

Bai Ling peered outside the glass window and saw a convenience store across the street . Suddenly, she squinted her eyes because she saw something in there . From the viewpoint, the battle unfolding in front of the messy convenience was unobstructed . Among the bloody crowd of zombies, there were still two humans fighting for their life . It appeared some people have started to run out of food and supplies .

“In front!”

Bai Xiaoxi followed her gaze and saw the convenience store . Suddenly, he remembered Bai Lin mentioning about resting . “Are we going to spend the night in there?”

She didn’t respond but picked her things and walked toward the stairs . As they passed by the closed staff office, the door suddenly opened .

Surprised, Bai Xiaoxi was still stunned while Bai Ling had already unsheathed her sword, ready to neutralize any dangerous element . The next second, a shadow rushed out of the staff office while waving at them .

“Heroes! Don’t attack! I am a normal human, not a monster!”

Bai Ling stopped her sword in time when she heard his fearful shout . Yet, it still grazed him . She observed the man who suddenly kneeled in front of them . He appeared to be more than thirty, a bit fat with fair skin marred by that a bloody cut from her sword .

“Old Tang, you’re fine!” Many people suddenly came out of the office . Some of them were the employees of the store and the others were the customers . They were the lucky survivors .

The man called Old Tang was the one who kneeled in front of Bai Ling and Bai Xiaoxi . He covered his cheek . His expression twisted in pain .

Bai Ling sheathed her sword in one move . She watched that group of people who had yet to be tempered by the cruelty of this new world . Her harsh and cold voice sounded out .

“It’s only a cut . ”

“How can you be like this? You are the one who barged in here . Look! Look! What you are wearing are the things in Old Tang’s department store . What you’re doing right now is robbery!” A woman in her thirties in designer clothes and still caked in heavy makeup stood out and berated Bai Ling and Bai Xiaoxi .

When the other people heard her, they started to gossip with each other .

“Do you know how much those things on you cost? Can you afford these?”

“Humph! Don’t even think because there are those man-eating monsters outside that you can do whatever you want without impunity . When the police or army come, they will send you to prison!”
