Everyone was stunned upon hearing the voice.
The suspended hearts suddenly felt a massive stone drop.
"Zhou Xiaojun, are you alright?" Luo Shu exclaimed, overjoyed.
"Of course, I'm fine! Other than this airport is freezing me to death!"
"Hahahahahaha..." His words immediately made everyone laugh.
Even Nie Yuan felt a surge of happiness.
After all, he had no desire to experience the feeling of seeing someone beside him turn into a zombie again.
"Alright, this time, you win." Nie Yuan looked at Luo Xiaole with a hint of helplessness. "But you were lucky this time. If you don't take this seriously and take precautions later, you'll regret it." He sighed deeply.
"Don't worry." Luo Xiaole smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
She continued to ponder her plan to find supplies upstairs today.
Seeing Luo Xiaole's calm demeanor, Nie Yuan found it rather strange.
Why didn't this bean sprout-like girl seem surprised at all?
Combined with her unusually calm demeanor last night during their bet...
Did she really know that Zhou Xiaojun wouldn't turn into a zombie?
But how was that possible?
The symptoms of ability awakening and zombification after a high fever were identical.
No ability could predict the outcome before someone else's ability awakened!
He raised his hand and tapped his chin.
It seemed he would have to observe this unusually strange bean sprout closely on the way.
"Zhou Xiaojun, can you sense what your ability is?" Luo Xiaole asked with some curiosity.
Although she could see the aura above people's heads when they awakened their abilities.
She couldn't see the specific skill they awakened.
"I'll try." Zhou Xiaojun rubbed his frozen hands.
He closed his eyes, concentrating, and felt it seriously.
It seemed... there was nothing...
Except... not far from them, there seemed to be a group of people talking...
"Where did that Nie Yuan guy run off to? Why isn't he in this area either!"
"We've already checked the imported food section... Did he go to another duty-free shop?" several voices chimed in.
"Did you hear that? Nie Yuan, your companions seem to be looking for you?" Zhou Xiaojun turned and looked at Nie Yuan.
To his surprise, Luo Xiaole, Luo Shu, and the others were all staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong? Didn't they say they were in the imported food section?" Zhou Xiaojun scratched his head. Why were his companions looking so strange...
"There... there was no sound just now..." Luo Shu looked at him with a complicated expression.
"How is that possible! Their voices were so loud! The zombies would have been attracted..." Zhou Xiaojun retorted, somewhat unconvinced.
"Do you know where the imported food section is..." Nie Yuan stared at him in shock and surprise.
"Isn't it right next door?" Zhou Xiaojun met his gaze.
"It's very far from this lounge... on the other side of the airport..." Nie Yuan said speechlessly.
"!!!"
Luo Xiaole suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Zhou Xiaojun, did you awaken... a sound ability, the same type as Nie Yuan's..." she couldn't help but speak.
"Supernatural hearing?" Luo Shu also realized.
"Now that you mention it, it seems so..." Zhou Xiaojun looked surprised.
Luo Xiaole shook her head, finding it both surprising and amusing.
Zhou Xiaojun, who always loved to gossip, awakening this ability... was indeed quite fitting for him...
"Why did I awaken such a useless skill!" Zhou Xiaojun's face was all scrunched up. "It has no offensive power at all... truly useless!"
"Perhaps you can hear useful information?" Luo Xiaole comforted him. "Listen again, see if you can hear more about the supermarket upstairs?"
"Okay..." Zhou Xiaojun seized the opportunity and continued to concentrate, opening his ears to listen.
"They said there were quite a few stealthers and zombies in the stairwell on our side last night, and it's not safe to go up from here now."
Zhou Xiaojun listened diligently, "The stairwell on the other side is currently clear of zombies and is safer. They came down from there."
"See, your ability is very useful!" Luo Xiaole praised him sincerely.
"Seems like it, hehe." Zhou Xiaojun felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.
The group immediately decided to cross through the shops in the middle of the airport to find Nie Yuan's two companions.
Then, they would ascend to the second floor via the stairwell on that side.
The target was the supermarket on the second floor.
Luo Xiaole had another target, Qin Mingyang on the third floor.
She couldn't approach them openly, but now that Zhou Xiaojun had this ability.
It was a great opportunity for Luo Xiaole.
However, Zhou Xiaojun's skill had a small drawback.
Although he could hear further than normal people, the range was very limited, at most the diameter of this airport lounge.
Anything further would start to have distorted information.
Regardless, they had to go upstairs first.
Luo Xiaole made up her mind.
The group packed their belongings and quickly set off with Nie Yuan.
...
Along the way, everyone remained vigilant.
Even Luo Xiaole walked with extreme caution, eyes and ears alert.
Nie Yuan glanced sideways, looking shocked.
He watched as Luo Xiaole, without any hesitation, walked in the... middle of the team.
Wasn't the core of a team usually protected inside?
What was this little bean sprout being so arrogant about, walking in the middle?
He shook his head, looking completely bewildered.
He increasingly felt that this team was very unreliable...
He made up his mind to leave quickly after finding his teammates and not act with this unreliable group.
They didn't notice a huge shadow standing on the decorative beams of the airport.
Looking down from above, it was silently watching the prey below.
Perhaps it was due to exceptionally good luck today.
The group crossed more than half of the airport.
They only encountered four zombies head-on.
That chubby Luo Shu, and the man with two long swords who looked unusually cold, each dealt with two.
Nie Yuan observed silently.
Their skills were indeed not bad.
However, he would never easily accept a team based solely on their combat skills.
He was thinking.
Suddenly, he noticed the entire team had stopped.
More precisely, Luo Xiaole in the middle of the team had stopped.
The bean sprout looked expressionless, staring straight ahead without moving.
She was so calm, it was as if her breathing had stopped.
Yet, the entire team, upon noticing her stop, had also strangely halted abruptly.
There was nothing in front of them!
"Why are you stopping here? Take advantage of the fact that there are no zombies and keep moving?" Nie Yuan asked, completely puzzled.
The cold man with the long swords and Luo Shu even showed wary expressions at the same time.
They both raised their weapons and scanned their surroundings defensively.
Even Zhu Hui's hands began to frost over, and she nervously looked around.
Only Zhou Xiaojun, like him, looked utterly baffled.
"What's going on? Don't act like this, you're making me nervous." Nie Yuan swallowed.
Zhou Xiaojun tried to use his ability, but there was no sound around them.
What were his companions on guard against?
He had a nagging feeling that something was happening that he didn't know about.
"Shh..." Luo Shu, unusually serious, signaled to the two of them to be quiet.
At that moment, a giant dark shadow, silently and suddenly, swooped down towards the group below!
