Chapter 730: Chapter 428: Return to Zhen City Supermarket_3 Chapter 730: Chapter 428: Return to Zhen City Supermarket_3 Yan Junze felt dizzy and disoriented.
Never before had the aftermath of a Great Rewind felt so terrible; due to the grievous injuries he had sustained, it felt as if he could perish at any mont.
Blood once again began to spill from his body, from his mouth, his nose, around his heart.
Although there was no visible wound at the heart, blood kept seeping out continuously after the trauma.
As his feet hit the ground, Yan Junze imdiately sat down, his vision darkening, temporarily unable to see his surroundings clearly.
But all around was eerily quiet.
Seconds later, his throat sweetened again as fresh blood surged forth, staining the front of his clothes.
His heart felt hard, as though it had stopped beating, and yet bizarrely, he still had the strength to stand.
Yan Junze carefully recalled that another version of himself in this current tispace should arrive at the supermarket soon; it was essential to find Ke’er and her mother beforehand.
Based on his own request during the Great Rewind, he was to arrive after the mother and daughter entered the supermarket, which ant that Ke’er and the Back-faced Woman must be here sowhere.
He looked around. He was in the supermarket’s staff corridor, with ergency lights glowing at intervals along the corner of the wall, providing faint light. His eyes had now adjusted, so he could see more clearly.
The door to the main hall of the supermarket was only four or five ters ahead. Yan Junze leaned against the wall for support, slowly stood up, and then step by step, made his way toward the door.
Reaching the corridor door, he gently pushed it open, without making a sound.
He poked his head out, looking into the supermarket hall.
In the direction of the shelves, he could vaguely see a figure moving, roughly the height of Ke’er.
“Ke…”
Just as he was about to call out “Ke’er,” Yan Junze suddenly rembered sothing and abruptly closed his mouth, swallowing the word “Ke” without a sound.
He rembered that at this ti, the figure in the supermarket of this height wasn’t just Ke’er’s.
There was also that nauseating, apron-wearing dwarf dressed in a pink laced sunhat—Dwarf Mickey.
Having thought this, he quickly withdrew his head, but the staff corridor door was not entirely shut; he left a thin gap to peek through.
Soon, the short figure erged from behind a row of shelves.
Yan Junze inwardly rejoiced, for sure enough, it was Dwarf Mickey.
The back of Mickey’s pants bulged out significantly, which Yan Junze knew was likely the hiding place for his weapon, a large hamr.
After swaying left and right at this end of the shelves, the dwarf paid no attention to the staff corridor and instead mumbled sothing as he walked towards another set of shelves, quickly disappearing from view.
“The Half Moon Association fools, they’ve lost the most important special strangeness Jacob, and yet they’re still seeking others!”
Yan Junze thought carefully that perhaps Charles hadn’t announced the end of the altar, but instead was still hoping to find other special strangenesses.
After all, the preparations for the altar had already gone so far. It wouldn’t make sense to shut it down imdiately after Jacob’s demise instead of continuing the search.
But everyone was clear that the chances of finding an alternative to Jacob were virtually nil.
At this thought, Yan Junze suddenly paused as if he had realized sothing.
Looking down at his chest, he muttered to himself, “Really… virtually nil?”
Now he too was infected by the white long worms, right in the critical region of the heart—a condition that was obviously much more severe. If he were to beco a strangeness, wouldn’t he just be another version of Jacob?
Shaking his head, Yan Junze determined that he would never let the Half Moon Association know about this, nor would he allow himself to evolve like Jacob did.
He opened the door a bit more to look towards the entrance of the supermarket.
About ten seconds later, another small silhouette appeared behind the nearly empty shelves.
Yan Junze did not believe this small figure was Dwarf Mickey coming back, given the dwarf had not walked quickly before.
But with his own movents restricted, Yan Junze did not dare to step out. He rely opened the door and watched the direction in which the small figure was moving, remaining silent to avoid alerting Dwarf Mickey.
Seconds later, Ke’er appeared before Yan Junze, her hair in a wild tangle.
She alternated between walking a few steps and then crawling on all fours for a bit.
As soon as she moved away from the shelves, Yan Junze deliberately left the staff corridor door wide open.
Ke’er’s attention was imdiately captured, and she looked over sideways.
