"How can this be!" Nie Yuan exclaimed in shock.
This duty-free shop was closest to the stairs leading to the second floor, and they had cleared it countless times before.
This area should have been relatively safe.
How could so many zombies suddenly appear?
"We need to pick up the pace," Luo Xiao Le rubbed her sore limbs.
The weather had been getting stranger lately.
The low temperatures caused her joints, which usually ached when it rained, to feel sore even on normal days.
Moving around was even more unbearable.
Get to the second floor quickly!
This was her only desire now.
"Look! Those two people, aren't they your companions?" Zhou Xiao Jun kept adjusting his position according to the sounds.
He finally spotted two people in front of the duty-free shop, locked in combat with a group of zombies in a corner.
The two were gradually running out of stamina.
Their clothes were already stained with the black blood of the zombies in front of them.
The knives in their hands were blunted, yet the zombies before them only suffered superficial wounds.
They were still full of life.
"Damn it, they're not going to hold on!" Nie Yuan's voice was filled with worry and fear.
"Holy hell, we won't make it in time if we run over there!" Luo Shu was also flustered now.
Those two people were still some distance away.
But they were about to be bitten.
"Remember what we practiced? Use your wrist, aim for the center of the forehead." Mo Chen suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Nie Yuan looked at Mo Chen in shock.
It seemed to be the first time he had heard this ice-cold man speak.
And he had said so many words.
Who was he talking to?
He looked at Luo Shu and Zhu Hui in surprise, but they showed no reaction.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The sound of sharp objects flying through the air suddenly came.
The bean sprout next to them, who had been silent, suddenly flicked his wrist, as if a weapon had just been released.
Across the distance, three zombies in front of their two companions had their skulls pierced almost instantly by something!
They fell straight to the ground!
This was impossible!
Nie Yuan's eyes were about to pop out!
They had fought zombies before, and ordinary weapons couldn't even sever a zombie's spine.
Let alone throwing them at zombies from such a distance.
With the bean sprout's strength, how could he instantly pierce the skulls of those zombies!
This was absolutely impossible!
But the facts were before him, leaving him no choice but to believe.
The image of the bean sprout in his mind was, almost in an instant.
Muddled, but grew tall.
Those two companions thought they were doomed.
Suddenly, three zombies in front of them fell.
They looked up and saw Nie Yuan not far away.
He seemed to have brought a few more people.
"Nie Yuan!" The two people's faces lit up with joy, and they continued to swing their blunted knives.
Finally, Luo Shu and Mo Chen also arrived.
And eliminated the four zombies in front of them.
Looking at the four zombie heads on the ground...
Nie Yuan and his companions fell silent...
What kind of people were in this team!
How could they use seemingly ordinary weapons to instantly decapitate zombies that they couldn't deal with!
Was this reasonable?
Wasn't this a bit too strong?
Only half a day had passed.
Luo Xiao Le and the others' image in Nie Yuan's mind had been completely overturned...
Two psychics, two monstrous fighters, and one seemingly frail but astonishingly powerful mysterious monster...
He, Nie Yuan, was determined to stick with this team!
Having made up his mind.
Nie Yuan's attitude instantly changed.
His tone even carried a hint of obsequiousness.
"These are my two companions, Yang Lin and Ye Feng!" he introduced enthusiastically. "These are the great gods I met on the road!"
Luo Xiao Le's lips twitched.
He had looked at her with disdain just before.
Brother, isn't your transformation a bit too obvious!
"It's not safe here anymore! Great gods, let's go upstairs first and return to the small camp!" Yang Lin's eyes showed urgency.
Luo Xiao Le couldn't have wished for anything more.
Confirming that Nie Yuan and his two companions appeared to be normal.
Luo Xiao Le and her group quickly went upstairs with them.
The stairs had been cleared by the survivors here.
The entrances connecting the top and bottom were surrounded by countless sturdy tables and chairs and other sharp barriers.
Blocking the path of wandering zombies.
However, people could pass through small mechanisms to open these sharp barriers and reach the second floor.
The small shops in Zone A on the second floor appeared more numerous than on the first floor.
But perhaps because they had been swept by the survivors here, there didn't seem to be many zombies wandering around.
Each small shop seemed to have at least one team.
As they had said.
This half of the area had been somewhat organized by the survivors into a temporary, small survival camp.
"This side looks quite safe?" Luo Xiao Le sighed.
"Yes, but we've spent a month cleaning out only Zone A. Zones B and C outside, and the stairs over there, are still full of wandering zombies. We can't do anything about it," Nie Yuan's tone was tinged with sadness.
Luo Xiao Le listened intently.
Suddenly, she felt Mo Chen nudge her discreetly.
She looked back strangely and saw Mo Chen pointing towards a place that looked like a supermarket in the distance.
"You said there was a large supermarket on the second floor, right?" Luo Xiao Le turned back and got straight to the point with Nie Yuan and the others.
"Yes..." Nie Yuan's companions all felt lingering fear. "That supermarket is in Zone C, the furthest from here, and it's surrounded by zombies!"
"We went there before, we couldn't get in at all. Going in would be suicide! No matter how capable you are, you can't defeat that horde of zombies, so don't go there!" Their words were filled with sorrow.
Their previous companions were either torn apart by lurkers here, or they met their end in the zombie horde when they last attempted to go to that supermarket...
They could only eke out an existence in this small area.
"Is it because you don't have weapons?" Luo Xiao Le asked.
"Yes!" Nie Yuan nodded heavily. "The three of us can only deal with one zombie at a time. It's dangerous, and there's no efficiency..."
"If that's the case, perhaps we have a solution," Luo Xiao Le realized she was becoming quite adept at "tricking" others into transactions.
"In our previous residential area, there was a weapon master. The weapons she made could deal with zombies, just like you saw earlier."
"Really!" Nie Yuan and the others' eyes instantly lit up.
They had gradually established a foothold in Zone A after acquiring a few psychics. The survival rate of others was actually not high.
But these weapons might help greatly increase their survival rate!
How could they not be excited?
"It's late today. Tomorrow morning at 8 AM, we'll set up our stall here on time. Those who need to buy weapons can come find us." Luo Xiao Le thought for a moment.
Nie Yuan might have seen her sneaking into the kitchen last night.
If she brought out the KFC frying station now, wouldn't that be tantamount to clearly telling everyone that she was that "weapon master"!
It wasn't time to reveal her identity yet.
She wanted to take advantage of tonight, while everyone wasn't paying attention, to strengthen some other weapons.
And to investigate the situation in that supermarket.
The two people in the small shop opposite were staring at the ring on Luo Xiao Le's hand.
A glint flashed in their eyes.
"This ring has good quality..." one of them licked his lips.
"Young Master Zhou usually loves collecting these rings. We're trapped here, and we can't find any supplies. We won't be able to report back. But if we could get this ring..."
"Hehehe..." They both grinned with a sense of successful scheming.
