Chapter 29 The Bright Sky Team

The supermarket's three floors were completely emptied, with everything, big or small, gone.

Wendy exclaimed incredulously, "How can it be so empty? Not a single thing was left. How many groups of people came?"

Normally, no matter how you pack it, something will always be left out.

It's only been a little over a month, and there are still a lot of supplies from various places outside. This supermarket is very large, and its location is so remote, it will be difficult to empty it in a short time.

Moreover, the supermarket was covered in a thick layer of dust, indicating that these items had been moved away long ago.

“It’s possible,” Shanran and Rhine exchanged a glance, “the people who moved these things live in here.”

Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance.

The newcomers made no attempt to conceal their voices, and it sounded like quite a few people had come.

Shan Ran and the others turned around and looked towards the supermarket entrance.

Several flashlight beams shone towards Shan Ran and the others.

"Hey! There's a real beauty here, brother, did you see her?" a flippant voice rang out. He continued, "Oh my, where did that guy next to her come from? This sister-in-law will definitely like him!"

A woman scoffed, "Hmph, you have good taste. This one is really nice, I like it. As for that woman..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, the frivolous man quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you can't ruin her face. She's so beautiful, more beautiful than any I've ever seen before. It would be such a waste to ruin her."

"snort...."

Before the woman could say anything more, she was interrupted by another male voice.

"That's enough, don't frighten our guests."

A man stepped out from the group. He was burly, with a muscular build, wearing a black vest, and had a scar on his arm. He had blond hair and golden eyes, likely due to his supernatural abilities.

The man's voice was deep and resonant. He walked to the front, stared intently at Shan Ran, and laughed, but his eyes held no smile, only a sinister glint.

"Now that you've all come here, we're all family from now on. Are you here looking for supplies? It's a pity, all the supplies are with me. But don't worry, just join us and you'll have more supplies than you can use in the future."

The frivolous man spoke again: "Yes! Everything here is gone, it's all on my older brother. If you want it, you can beg my older brother and sister-in-law!"

The woman referred to as "Sister-in-law" had a good figure, but her looks were very ordinary, even unattractive. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two very good-looking men and women opposite her, seemingly trying to guess their relationship.

These few words contain a lot of information.

Shan Ran and the others exchanged glances, and the five of them slightly changed their stances, forming a formation that could be used for both offense and defense.

During this period of time, Shanran and the rest of the team have practiced together, and they can effectively deal with not only hordes of monsters, but also humans.

There are just a lot of people on the other side.

A rough estimate suggests there are more than thirty.

No one looked like a good person; they all had sinister eyes and an unusual aura of violence about them.

This kind of bloodlust wasn't cultivated from killing monsters in the apocalypse, but rather resembled that of the desperados of the past, exceptionally ruthless.

Each of them has special abilities, but the most powerful are the three who just spoke.

Seeing that Shan Ran and the others remained wary and silent, the frivolous man spoke up. He was short and thin, with dry, yellow hair mixed with some red and green.

His eyes were lewd, and his voice was a little high-pitched. "My name is Mao Yilun, this is our eldest brother—Lang Jian, and this is our sister-in-law—Mu Jia. Our team is the famous—'Bright and Bright Universe Team'."

famous?

Shan Ran and others said they had never heard of it.

Under the clear sky?

This bunch of who-knows-what, they've chosen names that sound like heroic figures.

Shan Ran remained silent, but Rhein spoke up. He was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he exuded an aloof and unapproachable air. "No need. Thank you for your kind offer. We were just passing by and came in to take a look. We apologize for the inconvenience. Farewell."

There are many people on the other side, and we don't know what tricks they have up their sleeves. It's also not good to act in the dimly lit mall. It would be best to get away unscathed without any conflict.

As they spoke, the group prepared to walk to the back, where there was a downward elevator.

However, as soon as they turned around, a group of people surrounded them from behind.

They were hiding behind the shelves, close by; there were more than thirty of them.

In total, there were more than sixty people.

Shan Ran chuckled and looked at Lang Jian, who was leading the group, "With so many people surrounding us, it doesn't look like we're here to discuss things?"

Mu Jia rolled her eyes at her and sneered, "You say you're here to discuss things with us, but do you really think you have a choice? If you stay obediently, you can suffer less."

Shan Ran shrugged, looking completely innocent, and said, "Can I really suffer less? Didn't that person just say you'd ruin someone's face?"

Mu Jia grinned, making no attempt to hide her malice. "You're so pretty, I won't ruin your face for now. I'll wait until everyone else gets tired of you before I do it~"

These words were too malicious and insidious, and Rhine disliked them very much, especially since the other party was looking at Shan Ran.

His gaze grew even colder, as if he were looking at a group of dead people.

At that moment, the woman's eyes also turned towards him, meeting Rhine's gaze. She changed her tone, her voice sounding somewhat cloying, "Handsome little brother, don't worry, I wouldn't want to ruin your handsome face~ But since you're so handsome, after you serve me, your brothers will come looking for you too~"

After hearing this, the group burst into laughter.

After their sister-in-law spoke up, the others couldn't help but start uttering foul language.

Lang Jian ignored those people and kept his eyes fixed on Shan Ran and Rhein.

He could sense that the two people opposite him were not simple. Although they had the advantage in numbers, he would not let his guard down.

Never underestimating his opponents is the key to his ability to dominate such a large market, acquire core resources, and build an ever-growing team.

Shan Ran ignored the buzzing of flies around her and looked at Lang Jian, "You have a spatial storage ability?"

Lang Jian looked somewhat surprised. "How did you know?"

Shan Ran looked up and gestured in the direction of Za Mao Mao Yi Lun, "He just said that the things are stored on you, not that they are stored here with you."

Lang Jian glanced at the scruffy-haired man.

He didn't care about his superpowers being exposed; on the contrary, it was his confidence and a means of attracting talent.

"Yes, I have a huge space where everything is stored. And there's no flow of time in this space. Whatever you put in, you take out the same thing. If you put a pre-apocalyptic supermarket roasted chicken cake in there, it will still be fresh when you take it out now."

Shan Ran's eyes lit up; it was actually the kind of space storage that could maintain its freshness!

In the previous life, a person with a spatial storage ability was killed, and after death, all the items in the space were dropped.

So, if I kill this man in front of me, I can have something fresh to eat!

Home-cooked meals are quite different from junk food outside, and Shanran wanted to try something different.

Rhine saw that Shanran's eyes lit up, and he hesitated for a moment before looking at the girl with concern.

Could it be that she wants the other person's spatial abilities?

No! Impossible! That man was fat and ugly, with such a disgusting expression. He didn't look like a good person at all. Ranran's taste could never be that bad!

With someone as brilliant as me preceding them, no one else can possibly be inferior!

Shanran had no idea what Rhine was thinking; she was already planning how to distribute the junk food to the team members after she got it.

Lang Jian stamped his foot impatiently. "So? Have you made up your mind? Are you coming here in person, or do we have to go and invite you?"

Shan Ran relaxed her shoulders, sighed, and seemed to accept this ending with resignation.

She took two steps forward, smiled at Lang Jian, and gradually made the person opposite her lower their guard.

"No need for you to invite me, I'll come over."

As she spoke, she took a few more steps forward and stopped not far from Lang Jian.

She was even more beautiful up close. Lang Jian's eyes were filled with a kind of infatuation. He had never thought that he could get his hands on such a woman in his lifetime.

He reached out, wanting to take the other person's hand.

However, the girl's charming eyes instantly turned fierce in the next second.

A cleaver the size of a palm was thrown from the girl's sleeve with incredible speed, severing Lang Jian's right hand in the blink of an eye.

Lang Jian didn't even feel the pain in his right hand until blood was pumped out.

"Aaaaaaah!!"

The man in front let out a shrill scream. Despite the pain, he reacted quickly, and his throat and chest were instantly blocked by metal plates, preventing him from sustaining fatal injuries from a frontal attack.

Before anyone could react, another small cleaver flew towards the crowd, instantly severing the heads of three people.

Almost simultaneously, a third cleaver flew towards the crowd surrounding them. Unlike the other two, this cleaver didn't land; instead, it flew in a circle and returned to the hand of one of the slender women.

"Go! Kill them all!!"

Lang Jian roared in fury, and a group of people suddenly unleashed their various superpowers, all attacking Shan Ran and the others.

Some people ran forward, trying to grab the other person directly.

However, before they could take more than a few steps, they suddenly fell to the ground. Then something wrapped around their ankles and flung them backward, sending them flying far away. Some of them crashed into the wall and were seriously injured.

Shan Ran didn't even have time to take off her shoes; they instantly transformed into sharp claws, tearing her shoes and socks to shreds.

She and Rhine flew into the air, and with a few swipes of their claws, they took care of a group of people.

Opposite them was a very rare flying creature; it took to the air and charged towards Shan Ran.

It was that scruffy Mao Yilun from before. He was a macaw, with sharp claws but a surprisingly lethal beak. His face had transformed into a parrot's beak, and he opened his mouth to peck at Shan Ran.

The E-rank harpy eagle was very fast. How could the F-rank macaw be a match for the aerial overlord? It was quickly pierced through the chest by Shan Ran's claws and crashed heavily to the ground.

Rhine, on the other hand, was dealing with the others on the ground.

Many teams don't have flight-type ability users, but Langjian's team had one, which was their pride and joy in the air superiority, but now it's gone.
