Chapter 6 The People in the Mall
The lobby on the first floor of the mall.
A group of burly men and blond-haired men were holding wooden sticks or broadswords. Several of them were laughing and joking around a person rolling on the ground.
On the other side of the hall, a group of people were tied up with ropes, and two punks stood guard with wooden sticks.
"What are you doing! Let her go! A crazy woman is already pitiful enough, and you still want to take advantage of her? Are you even human?!"
The thin, bespectacled man squatted on the ground, his shoulders hunched, and he turned his head to scold his girlfriend in a low voice: "Are you out of your mind? Didn't you see they were carrying big knives and wooden clubs? You can't control them."
The long-haired woman next to him bit her lip, her eyes seemingly burning with fire.
The bespectacled man and his girlfriend looked at each other, paused, and muttered, "We can barely take care of ourselves, what good is your kindness? What if you get taken advantage of too..."
Shut up!
She knew she couldn't win, she just couldn't stand by and watch.
The woman with the braided hair was filthy and dressed in tattered clothes. She looked like she had gone mad from trauma. In fact, she probably wouldn't last long before she was bitten to death by zombies.
She just couldn't stand these disgusting people.
"Oh, what's wrong? You want to replace her?"
A burly man with a scar on his face touched his thinning hair and walked toward the woman with long curly hair with a strange grin.
"Look at this, you, you..."
The bespectacled man's lips trembled, and he couldn't help but move backward. The people behind him were also afraid and pushed him back forcefully to prevent him from retreating.
"Damn it, are you even a man? You can't even protect your own woman."
The woman with long curly hair suddenly stood up: "Let her go, or we'll fight to the death, and you won't get away with it either. You won't get any of the supplies in my backpack!"
"Oh dear, it's a fight to the death, I'm so scared, hahahahahaha."
Hahahaha.
The punks clearly didn't take the woman's words seriously; they had big knives and wooden clubs, and weren't even afraid of zombies.
They knew these people were cowards; although there were quite a few of them, they dared not resist.
"ah--!"
Scarface turned around and saw that one of the blond henchmen who had been surrounding the madwoman had been bitten by her.
For some reason, the crazy woman pushed away the people surrounding her, and her body was enveloped in a light blue light shield. The blond man tried to pull the crazy woman away but was blocked by the light shield.
The blond-haired man cursed, "It hurts so much! Why aren't you stopping me...?"
Before Huang Mao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a scream.
The scarred man, caught off guard, was stabbed in the abdomen by the long-haired woman as he turned around.
The long-haired woman's anger was instantly ignited. She saw the madwoman enveloped in blue light and knew that the madwoman must have unintentionally triggered a superpower or talent.
The woman with long curly hair didn't know why, but she had an urge to destroy everything. No longer caring about the lives of her companions and others, she took out a fruit knife and stabbed it into the stomach of the person in front of her.
"You bitch! How dare you!"
The long-haired woman suddenly vanished as a phantom, and the scarred man cried out in terror, "What happened?! Where did she go?!"
The scarred man clutched his abdomen, grabbed his underling's arm, and looked around in panic.
"It's a superpower! It's a superpower!"
My younger brother had only seen his neighbor's kid play this game by chance, so he knew a little about it. He stepped back and shouted.
The other bound people screamed in terror, "We've done something terrible! We've done something terrible! The woman with the long curly hair has run away! They'll be punished!"
A punk rocker hit someone with a wooden stick and yelled, "Shut up! Help me, you bitch! If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll kill your boyfriend!"
"Ahhh, don't hit me! Don't hit me! It has nothing to do with me!"
The bespectacled man's face contorted in pain as he frantically begged for mercy: "I... I've only been seeing her for two months! We're not even that close..."
There were many sandbags piled up outside the mall, and the glass of the first-floor lobby was blocked by various cabinets and wooden boards.
Jiang Baiyue hid in a funeral home across the street from the shopping mall.
When she arrived at the mall, she noticed one group of people tying up another group. She wanted to leave, but couldn't bear to part with all those shiny loot points.
After all, once you leave the mall, there might not be so many looting points in other places.
After thinking it over, Jiang Baiyue decided to stake out the place and see what would happen if the group left without finding any supplies.
After staking out the area for a while, she felt that there was no hope of looting today, and thought she would check back tomorrow.
At this moment, a person enveloped in a blue light shield rushed out of the mall's No. 1 entrance and saw the woman's messy braids and a beauty mark on her forehead.
Jiang Baiyue wondered, could this be Gu Zilin's mother?
Both descriptions matched, so Jiang Baiyue opened the game panel, took a picture, and sent it to Gu Zilin.
Gu Zilin quickly replied to the message, confirming that it was indeed her mother.
"Marshmallow: Sister, it's my mom. Sister, can you help me bring my mom back? My mom has a treasure, I can let her have it with you."
"Marshmallow: I also have a rag doll here. Mom said it's a good thing, it can protect people. Sister, I can give it to you too."
Gu Zilin was very excited to see her mother, but also very sad. Her mother was dirty and her hair was messy.
My mother used to say that if you want someone to help you, you should give them something in return and thank them.
Jiang Baiyue replied to Gu Zilin with an "okay" and then closed the game panel.
Before Jiang Baiyue could even step out of the funeral home, a woman with long curly hair appeared out of nowhere in the open space outside the gate.
Jiang Baiyue paused, deciding to observe the situation further.
The woman with long curly hair caught up with the woman with braided hair in front of her: "Come with me."
Several more men carrying wooden sticks ran out of the mall, shouting that the crazy woman was cursing some kind of vulgar language.
Seeing this, Jiang Baiyue left through the back door of the funeral home. She roughly determined the direction and chased after the two women with long curly hair who had left.
The two hadn't gone far. When Jiang Baiyue climbed over the wall of a house and walked onto the road, she saw the two squatting by a trash can, muttering to themselves.
Is this... the stress level is too high, and he's gone crazy?
"Hehe, let me tell you... I, I'm a millionaire... Hehe, my mom is Yang Jie... She'll come to save me..."
As she spoke, the woman with long curly hair took things out of her backpack and shared them with the woman with braided hair like a child.
The woman with the braided hair ignored him and just kept muttering to herself.
"Baby...Baby, Tiangang...Tiangang, where are you...Baby's deskmate stole Baby's cookies again..."
As Jiang Baiyue approached, she saw something familiar and couldn't help but think to herself, "I've been searching high and low, and I've found this thing so quickly."
Is this woman with long curly hair incredibly lucky? She managed to snag such rare items.
Another day of envying those lucky people.
Jiang Baiyue took out an incense burner from her backpack, lit a park bench next to her with a fireball, and then carefully lit the incense burner.
She placed the incense under the noses of the two women and let it burn.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind. Jiang Baiyue teleported away and turned around to find a blond-haired man with a ferocious expression wielding a wooden stick and hitting the spot where she had been standing.
The blond-haired man was startled, wondering why the woman had dodged so quickly, and continued to hurl threats.
"She had accomplices! No wonder this crazy woman suddenly ran away."
"You dare offend the Tiansheng Gang? You're dead! Ah—!"
Huang Mao yelled and raised his wooden stick to attack Jiang Baiyue again. He didn't take a woman seriously. The strange light shield on the crazy woman had disappeared. Even if this woman had one, she certainly wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Jiang Baiyue took out an iron axe to meet the attack, and with a crack, the wooden stick was split in two.
"You, you..."
The blond-haired man was terrified; this man also had an iron axe. He turned around and tried to run away.
How could Jiang Baiyue let him go? Her eyes hardened, and she teleported close to the blond-haired man, bringing her axe down on his head.
*Pfft!*
A jet of blood spurted out, staining Jiang Baiyue's clothes and splattering a little blood on her face.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The long-haired woman suddenly regained consciousness, took out a dagger, and pounced on the fallen blond man, stabbing him several times.
"Hehehehe, I'll pick a soft persimmon for Mom to eat..."
"Baby loves soft persimmons, I want some too, I want some too..."
Jiang Baiyue's hands were trembling slightly as she killed someone for the first time.
The scene was bloody. The woman with long curly hair stabbed someone with a knife and the woman with braided hair pulled and hit someone's head. The blond-haired man struggled for a few moments and then died.
His body disappeared, leaving behind a pool of blood and a pile of other things on the ground.
