“piu!”
A flash of red light, and the infected person's head exploded instantly. Don't think that steel needles only cause penetrating damage; at terrifying speeds, they can still produce enormous destructive power.
At this moment, Gao Xue and his two friends were already rushing towards the supermarket exit with large bags and small packages, while more and more infected people came into view inside the supermarket.
"Piu!" Yang Shen fired again, blowing the head off the infected person who was chasing the front.
Finally, Gao Shou and the other two left the supermarket, and Yang Shen hurriedly followed suit.
The four chose a direction they had previously explored and ran for their lives, because the infected people inside the supermarket had already been caught up with.
"Awooooo!!"
The infected people behind them were making eerie howls, like the barking of small dogs, so dense that it sent chills down one's spine.
One of the smaller infected individuals ran the fastest, stretching out its arms as if to strangle someone, howling as it chased after them like a sports car.
Yang Shen, who was responsible for covering the rear, fired a shot without hesitation.
A flash of red light disappeared in an instant, directly knocking the thin infected creature's head back and shattering its brow bone. Yet, it seemed unharmed and continued its pursuit, howling at full speed.
Yang Shen was taken aback and fired again.
The bullet went straight into the thin infected man's wide-open mouth. The next moment, the back of his head exploded. His thin body still ran for seven or eight meters before collapsing and sliding forward a long distance.
More and more infected people came out from behind; at a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty.
However, the infection rate of those infected was still relatively normal; even people like Gao Shou, who had struggled with the system for three years, could outrun it.
Yang Shen, needless to say, had an enhanced body and was even faster, but he could only run at the back because he had to cover the rear.
But people get tired, while those infected seem tireless. If they keep running like this, they will be caught sooner or later.
Fortunately, Gao Shou and his two companions were also experienced and tried their best to run towards areas with obstacles or 90-degree turns.
The infected chasing behind were completely reckless, charging forward as if they didn't know how to slow down.
Some of them crash into things at turns and their heads are smashed open. Even if they don't hit anything, they will continue to rush forward for a distance before catching up again.
Some infected people were attracted along the way and followed, but some always lagged behind.
Perhaps because of their poor eyesight, or perhaps because they couldn't smell the presence of living creatures, the infected would stop chasing once they fell a hundred meters behind.
During this process, Yang Shen had already replenished the steel needle pistol with steel needle bullets, and whenever he saw the fastest-chasing infected person, he would fire a shot directly.
It turns out that those infected people who may have been lying in the supermarket for three years did not become much stronger, and not many could withstand steel needle bullets.
The four of them led the group of infected people in circles until they finally managed to shake them off completely more than an hour later.
In a small alley, Yang Shen and the other three slumped to the ground, even Yang Shen was panting heavily from exhaustion.
The three men, including Gao Shou, were on the verge of death, unable to get up once they sat down.
Even so, they still clung tightly to the food.
People who haven't experienced the apocalypse have no idea how precious food is.
"Damn it... I'm exhausted..." Gao Xue's face turned pale.
"Don't talk. We're not familiar with this area... lest we attract other infected people," Gao Shou whispered, panting.
The four of them quieted down and rested for ten minutes before they could catch their breath and began to take stock of the food.
After taking inventory, Yang Shen discovered that he had collected a total of twenty packs of instant noodles, as well as a pack of milk candy that Gao Xue had casually taken.
"Brother Yang Shen, the food in our camp is distributed according to labor, and it is also a communal meal."
Gao Shou said to Yang Shen, "Those of us who are responsible for finding food must eat our fill. Those who are on night watch can eat half full. As for the other women and children, just make sure they don't starve. But you've done more work than any of us, so you'll get two packs of instant noodles. Is that alright?"
Just as Gao Xue was about to speak, Gao Shou suddenly glared at him.
Chen Tao frowned slightly, but did not refute.
"Alright then." Yang Shen didn't object. He wasn't a domineering person. Although his martial arts skills played a greater role, Gao Shou and the other two were responsible for getting the food, which also contributed a lot.
"Let's go back quickly, it's getting dark," Gao Shou said.
Indeed, after all that commotion, it was already five or six in the afternoon.
Moreover, it's almost winter now, and it gets dark earlier.
The four men took the food and hurried towards the camp.
As Yang Shen walked, he suddenly saw a cat looking in his direction from the balcony of a building not far away.
Yang Shen glanced at the cat, but it was too far away, otherwise he really wanted to taste what cat meat tasted like.
Although that cat wasn't small, it was still smaller than the big gray cat they had encountered before, so killing it with a steel needle pistol shouldn't be a problem.
But after walking for a while, another cat appeared in the window of a building ahead, also looking at the four of them.
And that cat was not the same one that was on the balcony before.
Yang Shen gradually developed a sense of foreboding.
"Something's not right. Why are there so many cats around here?" Gao Shou suddenly frowned, clearly having also noticed the cats.
"Could it be because of that big gray cat we encountered before?" Chen Tao asked with a grim expression. "I've heard that some cats hold grudges. Could we be being targeted by that big gray cat?"
"Never mind that, our camp is just ahead. Our camp doesn't even have ventilation shafts. As long as we close the big iron gate, what can those cats do?"
Gao Xue was starving, he said with a frown.
"But what if we get ambushed when we go out to find food tomorrow?" Chen Tao asked, somewhat worried.
"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Besides, it's already dark. Fighting a cat at night is just asking for trouble, isn't it?" Gao Xue said, pursing his lips.
Indeed, it was getting dark, and the temperature had dropped considerably, making it quite chilly.
Yang Shen didn't interrupt; he kept an eye on his surroundings, and as they moved forward, more and more cats came into view.
I've seen more than a dozen cats so far.
However, the cats didn't attack until they got back to the entrance of the underground parking lot, perhaps because they didn't expect their home to be there.
Gao Shou used a special pattern to knock on the door, and the four of them quickly entered the underground parking lot and immediately pulled down the large iron gate.
Just as the massive iron gate was about to fall, Yang Shen saw a pair of bright green eyes looking in his direction from the shadows in the distance.
Even from a distance of several dozen meters, Yang Shen vaguely recognized that it was the big gray cat that had previously attacked them.
However, at this moment the large iron gate completely closed, isolating the inside from the outside.
"Brother Shou, have you found any food?"
"They're all back safe and sound, that's good..."
"Xue, are you hurt...?"
As soon as the four entered the underground parking lot, people rushed over, looking expectantly at what they were carrying.
