Inside the department store.
Xu Mo quietly sensed through his spider sense.
He heard everything the governor and his men said.
"Interesting. I didn't expect to see the Governor here." Listening to the Governor's conversation, Xu Mo smiled.
If we exclude Sean who appears later in the second season, the Governor is definitely the first villain boss of Rick's protagonist group in the original series. Among them, the relatively important protagonists Andrea and Hershel both died directly at the hands of Sean.
As for the deaths of other people, such as Beth, Tyrese and even Glenn, they are more or less closely related to the Governor.
After all, if the prison had not been destroyed, Beth would not have been captured by the hospital guards.
If the prison had not been destroyed at that time, Rick and others would not have needed to leave the prison and follow Eugene, Ahamed and others to Washington, D.C., join the Atlanta community in the middle, and then be killed by Negan later.
Of course, these are all things that happened in the original novel. In this world where he exists, these things will not happen.
"But then again, since the Governor has obtained the Opportunity Crystal Core, no one knows what superpowers he has awakened, so we still have to be careful."
Xu Mo withdrew his attention from outside the department store and thought to himself.
"It seems that there are some uninvited guests. You stay in this building and don't come out." Xu Mo instructed the girls and then walked down to the department store.
With powerful physical attributes plus spider sense, sneak attacks and ambushes, hehe... there is nothing to be afraid of.
However, judging from the Governor's appearance, it seems that this is not the first time he has obtained a crystal core, and it is hard to say whether he has awakened any superpowers.
"It's better to be careful." Xu Mo reminded himself in his heart as he walked out of the department store.
…
Outside the department store, the governor and others hid in a corner.
While no one else was paying attention, the Governor quietly swallowed the green crystal core.
At this moment, Martinez came to the Governor and asked:
"Governor, is it really okay for us to ambush here? The gunshots just now must have been heard by these people."
The Governor laughed and said, "It is because we just fired the gun that the plan succeeded."
"If you were these people and you were looting supplies and suddenly heard gunfire, how would you react?"
"Find the source of the gunshot." Martinez said subconsciously, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
When gunshots suddenly occur around you, people will feel fear in their hearts. On the one hand, it is the fear of guns, and on the other hand, it is the fear of the unknown, because you don’t know when the next gunshot will sound and where it will come from.
The Governor looked at the department store exit and nodded. "Yes, let's find the source of the gunshots."
As soon as the Governor finished speaking, a very handsome Asian man walked out of the exit of the department store.
"Governor, someone is coming." Martinez looked at the Asian man at the exit of the department store and spoke to the Governor.
The Governor narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the Asian man not far away.
"It seems like he's the only one here," Martinez said, frowning.
"No, there may be more than one." The Governor said, while raising his eyes to the rooftop of the department store.
These days, unless you're a lone ranger, no one goes out to search for supplies alone. At the very least, they go in groups of two.
What's more, the probability of being alone when driving such a luxurious and cool RV is even lower.
Assuming there are at least two people in a group, if one of them comes out, the other will definitely find a high point to set up the gun.
Martinez looked up along the Governor's line of sight and instantly understood what the Governor meant.
"Governor, what should we do next?" Martinez asked.
The Governor thought for a moment and said:
"Since only one person came out, it means there aren't many survivors. There might be only two or three, and no more than five at most."
"Since their number is so small, we will go negotiate with him first, then kill him while he's not paying attention, and then go in and deal with the rest of the people."
The reason why he prepared an ambush was because he was not sure about the number of the enemy. If the enemy had more than a dozen or even dozens of people, they would be at a disadvantage if they were in the open and the enemy was in the dark.
Now that they guessed that the number of the other side was no more than five, there was no need to worry about this. With their number, they could just rush in directly, and these people would not pose any threat to them.
…
At the same time in the department store.
After seeing Xu Mo leave, the girls gathered together.
"The gunshots came from outside. Isn't it too dangerous for us to let Xu Mo go out alone?" Beth looked at the others with some concern.
After hearing Beth's words, Magna's face was relatively calm. When she was at St. Yem Hospital, she and Xu Mo encountered a similar situation, but it was resolved by Xu Mo.
Amy, Maggie, and Andrea all had worried, thoughtful expressions on their faces.
If it was just a zombie, after seeing Xu Mo's abilities, they wouldn't think Xu Mo would be dangerous, but this was a human being, and he was holding a gun.
Compared with zombies, guns are far more intimidating than zombies. If you face zombies, you still have a chance to survive, but if you face a gun, it's another matter.
The most important thing is that they don’t know how many people are outside. If there are only one or two, it’s fine, but if there are more than ten or even dozens of people, and they all have guns, no one will survive in this situation.
"But how can we help Xu Mo?" Amy said with a frown.
"We can find a commanding height to support Xu Mo from above. This way, we won't drag Xu Mo down by exposing ourselves. On the other hand, we can also use our advantage of being on high ground to help Xu Mo." Magna said.
"There is a rooftop in this department store with a very wide view. You can basically see what's going on around here," Andrea added immediately.
Besides, that rooftop was where she first met Xu Mo.
"That's a good suggestion." Amy nodded affirmatively, "Then let's go to the rooftop of the department store."
The others nodded without objection.
…
At the exit of the department store, Xu Mo walked out slowly.
With his powerful physical attributes and spider sense, ordinary firearms and bullets cannot threaten or even attack him unless it is a nuclear bomb or a missile cluster bombardment.
Of course, this is the case of long-range attacks. If it is close combat, it is a different matter.
Spider-Sense's reaction speed to melee attacks is not as fast as it is to ranged attacks, and it is always a beat slower.
Of course, this slowness is only relative to the reaction speed of the spider's sense when dodging long-range attacks. Unless the speed is faster than him, he can dodge most melee attacks.
