Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Entering the Supermarket
“Should I go teach them a lesson?”
After hearing the conversation, Xue Wanyi asked, as he loathed such people most and would prefer to simply blast them away.
“No use, you could drive them away countless times and it wouldn’t make any difference,”
In her previous life, she had seen too many people who wanted to take advantage by interception, but this time, they had targeted the wrong person.
Someone kicked her in the neck. She felt a sharp pain and fainted.
“This kid died just like that?” A short youth nudged Beiting Huang with his foot and spat on her. “She really can’t take a beating!”
“Let’s see if there’s anything valuable on her!” The tall man clapped his hands and stomped on the ground twice, afraid that he would be tainted by Beiting Huang’s bad luck.
After all, this kid was the ninth young master of the family. Her clothes were not bad, but who would dare to wear her clothes? The short man stepped on her body with his foot and did not find anything hidden. He called out, “Bad luck.” He pulled her sleeve left and right. Unexpectedly, he saw a bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet was purple in color, and its material was indistinguishable. There were ancient and complicated patterns on it, which was not very eye-catching. However, this was the only thing left on Beiting Huang. They had spent a lot of effort to kill Beiting Huang. Were they going to return empty-handed?
“Heh, this brat, she’s still hiding such a good thing!” The tall man came forward. The short man grabbed Beiting Huang’s wrist, and the tall man went to pull out the bracelet.
The bracelet was stuck to her wrist and could not be removed. “Who has a knife? Chop off her hand!”
Such a good bracelet could be exchanged for a few gold coins.
A knife was handed to him. Originally, a knife could have killed Beiting Huang, but how could a knife be more exciting than punching and kicking her?
“I agree, our team has already lost several people in the past few days. We can’t risk any more, let’s just wait here,”
The speaker was a girl with shoulder-length hair, and she agreed with Jia Sheng’s plan. Plus, they had set their sights on this supermarket first.
Seeing the two decision-makers in the team agreeing, no one dared to object. Jia Sheng was a Wind Element Ability User, and the girl with shoulder-length hair was a Fire Element Ability User. Together, they were significant core members of the team. Although Jia Sheng was not exactly moral, he had indeed helped them take advantage of many situations.
They were Survivors from the Refuge, venturing out during the day for supplies and concealing what they found in the Space Element Ability User’s dimension, then returning to the Refuge to enjoy the free meals provided at noon and evening.
They were able to accumulate supplies to the maximum extent, which was why their team was so sought after by other Special Ability Users.
Besides these two, there were three others in the team with Water Element, Ice Element, and Speed Element abilities, quite the gathering of elites.
If they could take this supermarket today, they wouldn’t plan to return to the Refuge. After all, there were a considerable amount of supplies here, and moreover, those three impressive armored vehicles were too tempting for Jia Sheng to resist!
The shabby cars they had been driving these past days were an eyesore, always giving the impression that a zombie could tear through them with a single scratch, an extremely low safety factor.
Su Jin and her group didn’t care about the other people across the street. After entering the supermarket, they had Mao Zhihang use his Metal Element Ability to weld the rolling door of the supermarket shut, which those people wouldn’t be able to break open anytime soon.
But as soon as the rolling door was closed, the lighting inside the supermarket dimmed instantaneously. The emergency lights in the supermarket were all out of power. Su Jin took out several high-powered flashlights from her space and distributed them to everyone. Under the glow of a few flashlights, the interior of the supermarket was quickly illuminated.
After the rolling door, there were a few glass sliding doors and someone had locked them all. Now, all the zombies were pressing against the glass door, trying to push through, which looked quite disgusting.
However, this situation was ideal. They could attract all the zombies on this floor here and then systematically eliminate them, saving a lot of time compared to doing so inside.
“Uncle, unlock it,” Su Jin said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mao Zhihang nodded and used his ability to unlock the iron chains wrapped around the door. The zombies inside easily pushed the door open and excitedly ran toward the people, with many child zombies among them.
Lu Hao stood at the front, slicing through the zombies one by one with his Tang Sword, watching the clawing zombies behind him, Lu Hao’s hands formed multiple fireballs, which he hurled at the heads of the pursuing zombies!
The others were not to be outdone, attacking the zombies with watermelon knives and their special abilities. Mao Qiqi was even more selective, only targeting child zombies with her watermelon knife.
“Roar~”
One zombie after another fell, yet more were attracted by the scent and rushed over, but their numbers had clearly diminished.
The zombies here, because they haven’t gone out since the apocalypse, had not yet encountered mutated zombies.
Lin Xiuyuan froze the legs of a row of zombies in front of him, and, upon seeing this, the others picked up their weapons and decisively beheaded the immobilized zombies.
Su Jin, meanwhile, manipulated her vine-based ability, piercing it into the skulls of zombie after zombie.
“Qiqi, how does it look inside?”
Su Jin stood in front of Mao Qiqi, blocking the zombies’ attacks for her, so she could concentrate on sensing the situation inside.
“There are still six on this floor inside, and over a hundred on the next floor. No mutated zombies,” Mao Qiqi quickly responded.
Su Jin nodded and together with the others, they eradicated the last of the zombies as well.
“Phew~ We can finally go in.”
Guo Yang picked up the flashlight from the ground, ready to enter with everyone else.
“It really stinks in here,”
Lu Guanhai didn’t use a flashlight; instead, he ignited a fireball in his left hand, thinking it served both to illuminate and protect.
However, the scene that followed instantly sharpened his senses—the supermarket was intact. It had not been looted or destroyed!
“Xiao Jin, Guo Yang, you guys just collect stuff, we’ll keep watch,” Su Xiangzhe said.
They both nodded and started collecting items from the left and right sides respectively.
Guo Yang could now collect items without touching their surfaces, but that method consumed more special ability energy, so he still preferred the most primitive way.
The group discovered that this floor was the household goods section, with no food, and many seasonally fashionable clothes hanging on the sales floor, which Su Jin waved into her space.
Under Mao Qiqi’s guidance, Lu Hao killed a few zombies lurking in the corners, some of which had been trapped by shopping carts, one sitting in a wheelchair, and two others pinned under fallen shelves.
“Su Jin! This looks like a storage area!” Lin Xiuyuan called out in a low voice.
He remembered from previous supermarket visits that stock clerks would always be coming in and out through the side doors with their trolleys, so he had kept an eye out, and sure enough, there was one!
“Quack quack~”
A sudden noise put everyone on high alert, with Lu Hao positioning his Tang Sword in front of him, looking towards the source of the sound.
They saw Nie Qing sheepishly pop her head out from behind a shelf, saying, “Sorry, I accidentally squeezed it.”
Seeing this, everyone relaxed. Lu Guanhai walked over and looked speechlessly at the rubber duck Nie Qing was holding, incredulous that she had been playing with toys in the toy section?
What do you think?
