Chapter 48 The robbers are here!
The road was covered with vehicle wreckage and blackened blood clots.
Several figures huddled close to the shadows between the cars, meandering towards the shopping mall.
Chi Yanzhou jumped onto a bus that was blocking the middle of the road.
The moment the shoes stepped onto the train carriage, the metal emitted a dull, soft 'thud'.
Immediately, the sound of bones dislocating came from inside the carriage—several zombies suddenly raised their heads, their rotting eyeballs rolling in their dry eye sockets, their necks twisted at bizarre angles, staring straight at the source of the sound.
Chi Yanzhou held Lu Beiye in one arm, and blue-purple lightning crackled between his fingers in his left palm.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several golden beams grazed past Chi Yanzhou's ears and precisely pierced the zombie's forehead, causing pus and blood to splatter.
The golden light between Lu Beiye's fingers had not yet dissipated, and his amber pupils reflected the afterimage of the fallen zombie. His youthful face carried a hint of coldness.
"Ah Ye's superpower is so cool!" He Zhuo exclaimed softly, his eyes full of envy.
Lu Beiye raised an eyebrow. If I weren't so young and had such a low level of superpowers, I could be even more handsome!
"Nan Nan. Give me a pair of binoculars." Chi Yanzhou reached out his hand.
Lu Nange drew a line in the air with her fingertip, and a telescope appeared out of thin air in her palm.
"The glass door on the side is broken, and the number of zombies inside the shopping mall is uncertain."
Moreover, if we alert the zombies on both sides, there will be too many of them, and we might not be able to handle them.
Gu Qi frowned, his gaze sweeping over the shadows lingering on both sides of the street: "Brother Yan, how about we go somewhere else?"
Chi Yanzhou adjusted the focus of his binoculars, his voice slightly deep: "The more zombies there are, the higher the probability that the supplies are still there!"
Chi Yanzhou withdrew his gaze and looked at everyone: "So..."
He Zhuo: "Go!"
Gu Qi: "Go!"
The three Lu siblings nodded!
"Ah Ye," Chi Yanzhou suddenly lowered his voice, pointing his binoculars at a car with its hood up in the distance, "Can you hit that car?"
Lu Beiye didn't even lift his eyelids; the golden dart between his fingers already gleamed coldly, and he was about to release it—
Lu Nange: "Aye, wait a minute."
The moment Lu Beiye turned his head to look over, Lu Nange's Tang sword had already pierced the eye socket of the zombie in the car window.
With a muffled "plop," blood splattered onto the car window, leaving thick, sticky streaks.
"Nan Nan, are you looking for a crystal core?"
Lu Nange flicked her wrist, the tip of the knife precisely ripping away the skull fragments: "No, I'm thinking..."
She flicked the rotting flesh off her knife: "What if zombies have a better sense of smell than hearing?"
Before she finished speaking, she dragged the two corpses and piled them up by the car door.
The putrid blood plasma left two sticky trails on the ground.
He Zhuo suddenly slapped his forehead: "Nan Nan, let me do it!"
He shoved the baseball bat into Lu Xici's hand, snatched the Tang sword from the other's hand, and rushed to the door in three quick steps.
With a swift stroke, the heads of the two zombies exploded like rotten watermelons, splattering black and red filth all over the ground.
Everyone... do you still remember yourself gagging back then?
Lu Nange pointed to a seat next to a zombie: "Brother Zhuo, you and Brother Qi lie down in this spot."
"Brother, come over here!"
After everyone was seated, Lu Nange said, "Aye, you're ready."
Before the sharp whistling of the golden dart had faded, a piercing burglar alarm suddenly blared fifty meters away.
The shadows along the entire street suddenly erupted in a frenzy, and several rotting bodies turned toward the source of the sound.
"Walk!"
As the group sped along the vehicle, they could feel the stench of the horde of corpses rising up behind them.
After rushing through the glass doors into the first floor of the shopping mall, the group finally dared to catch their breath.
The putrid air, carrying the stench of blood, filled my lungs.
Broken glass shards littered the marble floor, the hall was a mess, and luxury jewelry counters had been violently smashed open, with jewelry scattered all over the floor.
Whether it's useful or not, Lu Nange can take it all in her system backpack!
The others stood around her and didn't stop her; they just dealt with all the zombies that rushed towards them!
The few gold jewelry counters had the fewest items left, so Lu Nange put them all into her system inventory.
The safe was pried open and deformed, but it wasn't moved. Keep it!
Jewelry stained with blood, I'll take it!
The middle half of the first floor was filled with cosmetics counters, and there were even people smashing and looting jewelry...
Most of the cosmetics counters were intact!
Lu Nange walked to the counter and bought them all.
There weren't many cars in the latter half of the car showroom.
The group searched through the car keys and collected all the usable ones that weren't broken.
The sign at the elevator entrance was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Chi Yanzhou lowered his brows: "Go straight to the sixth floor?"
Gu Qi and He Zhuo retreated to the back of the line in tacit agreement, while Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici led the way, forming a protective formation.
As the group climbed the escalator steps, the bloodstains on their shoes left sticky footprints on the steps.
The number of zombies on the sixth floor was significantly more than that on the ground floor, possibly because those who came to search for supplies were trapped and killed in another form.
"Step back!"
Chi Yanzhou waved his right hand in mid-air.
Lightning crackled, and arcs of electricity weaved through the horde of zombies like dragons. More than twenty zombies convulsed violently at the same time, their charred skulls bursting open one after another, and the stench of burning flesh instantly filled the corridor.
Chi Yanzhou staggered and leaned against the wall, his knuckles turning a sickly bluish-white from the strain of his supernatural abilities.
Lu Nange handed over two crystal cores.
Lu Xici and his two companions kicked aside the still convulsing limbs at their feet and quickly moved through the pile of corpses, using their daggers to pierce the brains of each zombie.
The collected crystal cores were thrown into He Zhuo's backpack, some of them still covered in fresh brain matter.
The crystal core in Chi Yanzhou's palm turned into grayish-white powder.
He glanced at the group with half-closed eyelids: "Let's go."
The supermarket doors were wide open, and the shelves and the floor were filled with a dazzling array of goods that caught everyone's eye.
He Zhuo: "At least the trip wasn't in vain!"
Chi Yanzhou pushed two shopping carts over: "Ci-ge and I will keep an eye on the surroundings. You guys help Nan Nan put her things in the carts so it's convenient for her..."
The next second, the shelves and food all disappeared.
He Zhu nudged Lu Xici with his elbow: "Brother Ci, Nan Nan and A Ye are so amazing, they must be siblings."
And look at you, even your name is a name that signifies passing away! You weren't really adopted, were you?
Lu Xici scoffed indifferently, giving him a cold glance: "Are you blind? The three of us siblings share the same face; we're obviously related!"
He Zhuo shook his head dramatically: "You look like a low-budget knock-off."
...
The group shielded Lu Nange and Lu Beiye in the center and steadily advanced along the aisle between the supermarket shelves.
Lu Nange's fingertips skimmed across the shelf like a dragonfly skimming the water, leaving no promotional labels behind.
When the entire supermarket floor was stored in Lu Nange's system inventory, only the corpses of zombies remained on the ground.
And the iron gate in the corner.
Lu Beiye moved his hand slightly, and the entire metal gate became distorted.
With a side kick, Chi Yanzhou sent the iron gate crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, everyone's pupils dilated in shock.
The warehouse was piled high with supplies, almost reaching the ceiling.
Boxes and boxes were piled up on the shelves.
"We're rich!" He Zhuo's whistle echoed in the warehouse as he picked up a box of self-heating hot pots, looking just like he was embracing his first love.
Gu Qi... you don't need to keep eating compressed biscuits anymore!
Lu Nange and Lu Beiye were happy that they could finally eat and drink to their hearts' content openly!
Before leaving the sixth floor, the group exchanged a knowing glance.
"Since we're already here..."
What followed resembled a locust swarm:
While Lu Nange was sweeping through women's clothing on the second floor, He Zhuo and Gu Qi were rummaging through men's clothing mannequins on the third floor.
When Lu Nange went up to the third floor, the clothes from each men's clothing store were piled up in one place.
Shoes, put them away!
I'll take the bag!
Children's clothes, take them!
Get the tracksuit!
When the group left, the entire shopping mall was so empty that you could hear the echo.
