TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Zombie Raid

Having a space-ability user in the group is indeed very convenient, but Luo Shuyou’s identity definitely can’t be hidden. Xie YunChuan is considering how likely they are to accept Luo Shuyou if he tells them the truth.

These two sisters should be alright. They’re ability users, so even if they’re bitten accidentally, they won’t be infected. The problem is the three ordinary people among them.

“Are there many ability users at your base?” Xie YunChuan asked.

Gu Tangxi replied, “Less than one percent. The base has about a thousand people, and fewer than ten are ability users.” It seems that on average, there might not even be one ability user per hundred people. Including them, they’ve encountered several groups of people on this trip, and none of them had ability users, which is why she wanted to recruit Xie YunChuan.

“Where are you going next?”

“This place is already close to Muyun City. We plan to change our route and search for supplies all the way back.”

“Why not take a look at Muyun City?”

“You scattered people don’t know, but it’s a strict order given to the resource-gathering teams by every base leader: absolutely no entry into Muyun City. There seems to be some well-known secret among their high-level officials. They’ve reached a consensus not to easily step into Muyun City.”

“Did you come from Muyun City?”

“Yeah!”

“Is there anything special about that place? Is it very dangerous?”

“I’m not very sure. We escaped very early on.”

Gu Tangxi pouted in disappointment. She was also very curious as to why they couldn’t go to Muyun City. Muyun City is one of the most prosperous cities on the entire continent, and the supplies left behind must be the most abundant. Although there are many zombies, scavenging around the edges shouldn’t cause too much damage. She can’t understand why her Half-Moon City base, which is closest to Muyun City, doesn’t allow anyone to approach it.

Xie YunChuan guessed that Muyun City was the biggest epicenter of the disaster, but he didn’t expect that those people would list it as a forbidden area. What untold secrets are hidden inside?

“I can temporarily join you, but I won’t necessarily join the Half-Moon City base. How about we just travel together for a while?”

This is the compromise Xie YunChuan could think of. He needs time to extract more information from them, and he also knows that the Half-Moon City base would not allow a zombie like Luo Shuyou to enter.

He was wrong about this. He didn’t know at this moment that there weren’t few zombies like Luo Shuyou in the Half-Moon City base.

Generally, saying that is a euphemistic way of saying that one won’t join the base. Gu Tangxi thought for a moment and said, “Okay. During this time, you help protect Gu Tangyue, and she can help you store the things you need and give them to you when the time comes.”

Being able to travel together for a while is good, at least there’s more security on this road. They’ve already lost a lot of team members from Half-Moon City to here. If this continues, she won’t be able to ensure the safe return of Gu Tangyue and the supplies. Thousands of people are waiting for food.

Xie YunChuan said to put all the canned meat separately and leave it for him, and to provide him with enough food along the way, giving him the amount he can take when they separate.

With the two sides reaching a consensus, Gu Tangyue began to act. Chen Jie and the others followed along, picking up everything they could, leaving not a single drop of food, and picking what they needed. The things disappeared into thin air the moment Gu Tangyue touched them. It’s just that touching each item is too troublesome.

If things are in contact with each other, she can choose what she wants with her mind and take them away together. If they are separated, she has to touch each item.

Moreover, her ability is limited, and it’s very difficult to manipulate so many things at once. She can’t take everything even if she exhausts her ability. They can only rest here for one night and wait for her ability to recover before taking it.

Xie YunChuan leisurely strolled around the supermarket with Luo Shuyou, taking everything that Luo Shuyou could use. He brought Luo Shuyou whatever he liked, whether it was useful or not.

When they came back, Luo Shuyou successfully gained a small bear backpack and a bag full of candy. Luo Shuyou wasn’t interested in the food in the supermarket, but he liked these colorful and shiny candies very much.

Gu Tangyue had a headache when packing these things Xie YunChuan gave him. They were all useless things in the end of the world. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She actually saw colored contact lenses inside!!?

Forget it, let him do what he wants. It doesn’t take up much space anyway, and she’ll rely on him to protect her life in the future. She dares to be angry but dares not speak out, hmph!

The group came to the area selling beds and bedding. Three beds, one for Xie YunChuan and Luo Shuyou, one for Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue, leaving the remaining three to squeeze onto one bed. They lay down comfortably. This supermarket, though small, has everything, not bad. They can have a good sleep tonight.

Gu Tangxi lay down and recalled the events, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. “It’s strange, this town has a large population. Logically, it’s impossible for everyone to be wiped out from the start. How could there still be so many supplies left in this supermarket?”

Gu Tangyue muttered beside her, “Hey! There’s not much left. Everything has been rummaged through, okay? We’re just taking what’s left over.”

“It’s still not right. From the looks of it, this place should be where people who ran out of food at home in the early days of the apocalypse came to grab whatever they could. This means there were still many survivors at that time. It’s been so long, and these things are still here, with no one coming to take them. Where did all the previous survivors go? They can’t possibly have survived this long without eating or drinking!

Moreover, we haven’t seen a single survivor in so many places we’ve searched today. This is not normal. Don’t you find it strange?”

In the past, when they searched other places, there would be more or less people hiding and eking out a living, too afraid to go out.

“Shh! The answer is here!” Xie YunChuan tensed up and sat up on the bed, holding Luo Shuyou tightly, staring outside. Just now he saw a pair of blood-red eyes flash by. It should be a Level 1 zombie.

Xie YunChuan frowned. He doesn’t know if adding Gu Tangxi and her sister would be enough to defeat this Level 1 zombie.

With a bang, accompanied by the crisp sound of glass shards falling and a shrill scream, one of the three people in the inner room was bitten on the throat by a zombie that broke through the window, struggling miserably. The other two were so scared that they ran away in terror, not caring to save him.

When the window shattered, Xie YunChuan and Gu Tangxi reacted quickly, one holding Luo Shuyou and the other holding Gu Tangyue, dodging the glass shards extremely fast.

Seeing her companion bitten, Gu Tangxi rapidly threw out a fireball to attack the zombie, but it caught it with its bare hands and easily extinguished it. It seems this is a zombie with thick skin.

Gu Tangxi felt bad. This zombie is not easy to deal with.

It threw away the tasteless food in its hand, and undigested blood flowed down from the corners of its decaying and dry mouth. Its fierce eyes stared at Xie YunChuan and the others. Compared with ordinary people without nutrition, it was clearly more interested in these four ability users.
