Xu Xing's favorite place is actually the convenience store. Although the store is not big, it has a full range of supplies. Basically, you can find everything you need in daily life here.
In big cities, convenience stores are actually much more popular than large shopping malls. It is safe to say that in the early stages of the apocalypse, many people in the city survived thanks to convenience stores.
Larger supermarkets tend to be located in densely populated areas, which increases the risk of sourcing supplies there.
Those living in rural areas, if they survive, can even become self-sufficient, but they will face another danger: all sorts of mutated beasts.
...
As soon as Ye Kai entered, he tore off the packaging of the chicken legs from the shelf, ripped it open, and started eating them on the spot, tossing a few to the dogs as well.
After observing the area and finding no danger, Xu Xing confidently gathered the surrounding supplies into his personal space.
In less than a minute, half of the convenience store's shelves were gone. Xu Xing always took everything in sight, making it easy to distinguish between items.
Just then, the dog, who was lying on the ground eating a chicken leg, suddenly stood up alertly and looked curiously out of the room.
"Brother Long, those damned zombies are finally gone. The brothers have been starving for two days."
The man known as Brother Long was a tall young man with tattoos covering his arms and a brass knuckle on his finger, looking like a typical gangster.
Seeing that there was no danger, Hu Long mustered his courage and led his two henchmen out to search for supplies.
On the day of the zombie outbreak, the three of them had just come out of a karaoke bar and, out of fear, hid in a public restroom, where they stayed for more than two days.
During this period, they could only drink the residual water on the sink that hadn't been flushed away to stave off hunger.
Hu Long had been eyeing the convenience store in the distance for a long time, but he had never dared to come out. Now that there was no threat, he naturally led his underlings to rush there.
The person behind couldn't help but fantasize about saying it aloud.
"Brother Long, this convenience store is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a long time. I want to eat big watermelon and cookies. Brother Long, can you share some with me?"
Another underling suddenly interjected.
"What if someone beats us to it?"
"Heh, if it's a woman, the brothers can have some fun with her. But if there's a man in there, I'll cripple him. Who am I afraid of besides zombies?"
Hu Long raised his voice, and, as if showing off, gestured with the brass knuckles in his hand.
Although they had been starving for two days, their beautiful fantasies drove them to quickly head towards the convenience store.
Without even looking, Hu Long opened the glass door.
What they saw inside the store left the three of them completely dumbfounded.
The three men took the last three sausages and stuffed them into their mouths without hesitation, savoring the taste. "Not bad, beef sausages are delicious."
Hu Long looked at the empty shop and cursed angrily.
"Where's all my stuff? There's not even a single hair left!"
Xu Xing said awkwardly, "Uh...it's gone..."
"Impossible! It must have been moved by you guys! It's my livelihood!"
"Hey pretty boy, tell me where the stuff is, and I might let you go."
Hu Long was so angry that his right hand, which was gripping the brass knuckles, trembled slightly.
Looking at the three people in front of him, apart from the muscular man on the right, there was a fair-skinned young man and a beautiful woman. In Hu Long's mind, he already regarded them as easy targets.
After all, Hu Long was a small leader among the thugs, and he did have some strength.
At that moment, the dog was lying right behind the three of them, concealing their figures.
Seeing that their boss wasn't afraid, the two underlings, emboldened by their leader's power, started hurling insults and profanities at Xu Xing and his companions.
Hu Long, noticing Su Xixi's beauty, also had wicked thoughts. He decided that regardless of whether the supplies were with them or not, he wanted to take such a beautiful woman away.
Xu Xing originally planned to give some food to any extremely hungry people who came in, since although he wasn't a good person, they were still fellow human beings.
Unexpectedly, these three were so ungrateful that Xu Xing abandoned his idea of letting them go.
Hu Long had already launched his attack, shouting to his henchmen behind him, "Attack!"
Hu Long charged ahead all by himself, hoping to impress the beautiful woman opposite him with his bravery.
Just then, the dog that had been lying behind suddenly stood up and calmly walked to Susie's side.
Its size, much larger than a tiger, instantly caused Hu Long, who had jumped up in preparation for an attack, to collapse.
He plopped down on the ground, his legs so weak he couldn't stand up. As the beast drew ever closer, he frantically tried to pull himself back with his arms.
The two henchmen behind him were even more embarrassed than he was. This scene, which could only be seen in movies, was even more terrifying than zombies.
One of the henchmen who was yelling the loudest was the one who was most afraid; the crotch of his jeans was now soaked.
"Big...Big brother, I was blind to your greatness. Let us go."
Hu Long was filled with regret for his previous decision; who knew they had such a monster among them?
"Sigh, you have no ability but still insist on showing off. Since you're courting death, don't regret it!"
Xu Xing was also getting impatient. Looking at the three people who were paralyzed with fear, he used his telekinesis to control the fruit knife and effortlessly slit their throats.
The three who were so arrogant just a minute ago are probably already in hell, where they will meet again.
Seeing Su Xixi standing to the side, he felt a pang of pity and spoke up.
"In today's world, morality and norms no longer exist. If I don't kill him, then I will be the one lying on the ground."
Susie was still too well protected, both before and after the zombie outbreak.
However, Xu Xing believes that after experiencing many such things, one will naturally develop a standard that belongs to this era.
The dog even stepped forward and stomped on the corpse a few times, as if mocking the three people's ignorance and arrogance.
Ye Kai said somewhat dejectedly, "Why bother talking to them so much? Just kill them the moment they rush over to attack."
In fact, in the apocalypse, people like Ye Kai are the ones who get the most out of trouble. They have no so-called moral standards and no desire for beauty or power.
All that remains is a body that constantly adapts to its environment and a heart that yearns to fight.
Xu Xing didn't refute it, because his main purpose was to let Su Xixi know the cruel truth.
Looking at the empty convenience store, Xu Xing realized it was no longer of any value, so he led a few people over the body of the thug lying on the ground.
