Liu Zhixi looked up. She could drown Su Shanshan with her overwhelming hatred, but the latter appeared nonchalant.

She said again, “Sir, I’m sorry.”

Su Shanshan turned to look at Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao smiled at her for the first time. Seeing that he did not seem angry, Su Shanshan let go of her grip on Liu Zhixi. Liu Zhixi curled up in a corner. She was no longer arrogant, but she exuded a gloomy aura.

Su Shanshan and the others left the place and headed to an antique store in the middle of the street. The Tang sword, which had followed her for eight years in her previous life, was found in this place.

The plaque at the door had the words ‘Zhongdao Road’ written on it. It was a very small, inconspicuous shop. It was very quiet as they entered, in contrast to the noisy zombies outside. There was a sense of isolation.

Gu Zhao pulled Su Shanshan behind him and walked in first. The interior was more spacious than the outside. There were shelves on both sides with all sorts of antique porcelain placed on them. There was another counter in the middle. The accounts book on the counter was left open. Nothing had changed. It was as if the end of the world had never happened. It was as though the boss had stepped out while checking his accounts book and had yet to return.

Su Shanshan tugged gently at Gu Zhao’s sleeve, telling him to be careful.

Gu Zhao walked over to the counter. There was still nothing unusual.

Su Shanshan’s eyes quickly scanned the shelves. A wooden box on the top shelf caught her attention. This time it came earlier than in her previous life.

In her previous life, when she came here, this shop had just experienced a fight and the things inside were already in a mess. She had picked up this wooden box from the ground.

She walked over to the shelf and was about to take the wooden box down when she felt a cold breeze behind her.

“Be careful!” Gu Zhao and Fei Lan’s voices could be heard, but it was still too late.

A small black shadow jumped onto Su Shanshan’s back. “Hehe, I got you.”

The putrid smell and the slippery touch made Su Shanshan realize instantly what it was. A zombie baby.

Zombie babies had a magical existence. It was very difficult for newborn babies to survive after being infected by the zombie virus. However, once they survived, they would become powerful and possibly become zombie emperors because they were born to command zombies.

Su Shanshan thrusted an ice blade behind her without looking back. The zombie baby who was hiding behind her head jumped away quickly as soon as it sensed the danger. At that moment, Su Shanshan turned around and bent over at an unbelievable angle. She quickly shot the ice blade at the zombie baby who just landed behind her.

The zombie baby let out a weird cry and dodged the attack easily. It shot out the same ice blade from its mouth.

Su Shanshan’s eyes lit up as she dodged. “Ice zombies. Perfect timing.”

At this time, Gu Zhao was already engaged in a scuffle with the zombie baby. Su Shanshan had been injured in front of him. This filled his heart with anger. His attacks became more ruthless, and his expression was murderous.

Fei Lan had wanted to help, but when he saw Gu Zhao like this, he shuddered. He came to Su Shanshan’s side and said, “Sister Shanshan, what do you think provoked Brother Zhao?”

Su Shanshan took the wooden box on the shelf, opened it, and took out a Tang sword. Before Fei Lan could cry out in surprise, she had already joined the battle with the Tang sword.

It was indeed a little difficult for Gu Zhao to fight the zombie baby alone. It was better with Su Shanshan joining forces, but it was only slightly better. The zombie baby seemed to be irritated and immediately gave a loud roar. The zombies wandering on the street were summoned and walked over.

“Be careful, Fei Lan,” Su Shanshan warned him as she quickly worked out a plan.

They would not be able to take down the zombie baby in a short time.. Once the zombies gathered outside, their chances of winning would be even slimmer.
