Gao Shou knew that Yang Shen was alone in the west of the city and it was normal that he hadn't seen any superhumans. He explained, "There's a woman in the south of the city. She has a special ability to block out sound and scent."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, we only encountered them about half a year ago when we were looking for food. That woman was leading a group of people, swaggering past us. The infected people didn't pay any attention to her. Unless you run into them head-on, there is almost no danger."
Gao Xue and Chen Tao both looked on with envy. If their camp had people with superpowers, or if they themselves were people with superpowers, their lives would definitely be better.
Yang Shen was very curious when he heard this. It turned out that he wasn't the only one with superpowers; others had also awakened their abilities.
Moreover, my special ability was only recently awakened, while others may have awakened their abilities much earlier and may already be quite powerful.
Therefore, I still need to work hard so that I don't fall too far behind.
"Since there are superhumans protecting the south of the city, there must be a lot of people there, right?" Yang Shen asked expectantly.
"I don't know. We had a conflict with that group of people from the south of the city over food that time, so we didn't have a chance to ask them about the situation there," Gao Shou said with some regret.
"Something's there... Hide!" Suddenly, Chen Tao, who was walking in front, changed his expression and hurriedly retreated behind a wall.
Yang Shen and the other two hurriedly hid.
Soon, a very faint thumping sound was heard approaching. The sound was strange and did not sound like the footsteps of an infected person.
Gao Shou and Gao Xue held their guns with slight tension, ready to fire at any moment.
Yang Shen peeked out slightly toward the source of the sound, and was suddenly stunned to see that what was walking toward him was a dog.
However, the dog was a bit scary. It was about 1.3 meters tall, its head was almost entirely blue, and its face and other parts of its body were covered with wounds. It was ferocious and terrifying, but it seemed to have no sense of pain at all.
Even more terrifying is that those wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, the infected dog twitched its nose, looked at where Chen Tao was hiding, let out a low growl, and pounced.
"Chen Tao, be careful..." Gao Xue also saw the infected dog, shouted loudly and fired his gun immediately.
With a "bang," a gunshot rang out, and the bullet struck the infected dog's head, but it only made the dog stagger. The bullet got stuck in the skull and failed to penetrate.
At the same time, Chen Tao and Gao Shou both saw the infected dog, and Chen Tao was so frightened that he kept backing away.
After being shot, the infected dog seemed to be enraged and turned around to pounce on Gao Xue.
"Kill him quickly!" Gao Shou shouted, and immediately opened fire.
Amidst the "bang bang bang" of gunfire, the infected dog was shot until its blue blood splattered everywhere, but the bullets were almost all stuck in its bones, unable to hit any vital organs.
Just as the infected dog was about to pounce on Gao Xue, Yang Shen suddenly rushed over and kicked Gao Xue away, then quickly sidestepped the infected dog.
In the instant they brushed past each other, Yang Shen flicked his wrist, and the steel needle pistol fired almost directly at the infected dog's head.
"Bang—"
A sonic boom and a cracking sound rang out simultaneously, and the left cerebral cortex of the infected dog exploded, leaving a deep hole.
However, the steel needle was of poor quality and could not withstand the terrifying impact, shattering the moment it hit the infected dog's head.
This, in turn, produces a blunt force, because although the steel needle is broken, its forward momentum does not disappear, and the penetrating force is transformed into an impact force.
The 1.3-meter-tall infected dog lost its balance, rushed forward three or four meters, and then suddenly fell down, rolling several times before stopping.
However, the infected dog did not die. It struggled to get up again, its ferocious eyes fixed on Yang Shen, and it bent its two front paws, ready to pounce.
Yang Shen hurriedly fired again.
A flash of red light appeared and disappeared in an instant. One of the infected dog's eyes exploded, and amidst the splattering blue blood, the broken steel needle continued to thrust forward, piercing into its head.
The infected dog, which was about to pounce, immediately lost its strength, stumbled and fell to the ground, but was not quite dead. It struggled on the ground, letting out a low growl, but could not get up no matter what.
It was only then that Gao Xue and Chen Tao realized what had happened, and looked at the still struggling infected dog with lingering fear.
"roar……"
Suddenly, the roars of infected people came from afar.
"Get out of here quickly!" Yang Shen turned and ran, taking out a magazine to replenish the steel needles as he went.
Gao Shou, Gao Xue who had just gotten up and was rubbing his back, and Chen Tao also hurriedly followed, because the gunshots had attracted many infected people, and if they didn't run, they would most likely be in greater danger.
Yang Shen and his three companions only stopped when they were far away from that area.
"Have you searched this area?" Yang Shen asked Gao Shou.
“This is right on the edge of the area we’ve been searching. I remember there was a supermarket up ahead, but there were a lot of infected people inside, so we never dared to go in,” Gao Shou replied.
After a pause, he suddenly added, "Actually, there are some shops near our camp, but we haven't been inside. There are a lot of infected people inside."
Yang Shen understood; that made sense. Otherwise, if the entire area within a 500-meter radius of that region had been searched, Gao Shou and his men would be too formidable.
"Then let's go to that supermarket you mentioned. But try not to fire any shots, the noise is too loud."
After Yang Shen finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the supermarket across the street.
Gao Xue, still rubbing his kidneys, glanced at Yang Shen's retreating figure with a rather complicated expression, then said to Gao Shou, "Brother, this kid is giving us instructions."
"Shut up!" Gao Shou whispered, then followed after him.
Gao Xue pursed his lips, exchanged a glance with Chen Tao, and then the two of them followed without expression.
