Survival in the apocalypse is difficult enough, but then there are these monsters, which are hard to distinguish from the real ones, mixed in with the survivors.
Calling it a hellish dungeon wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Thinking about this, Shen Jing became quite interested in Wang Junyi's special ability.
It can disguise itself as a human and can also locate them through her mental barrier. However, its level isn't high; even Gu Yan wasn't interested in it, estimating that the survivors could kill it even if they joined forces.
However, this mutated animal seems to be driven by the real Wang Junyi's resentment...
She wanted to get revenge on the four boys, but it also seemed like she was addicted to playing the human role.
In reality, those who need indirect methods to kill are generally not very strong. Moreover, monsters currently lack much human emotion and intelligence; they can only imitate. If they could kill directly, they wouldn't need to resort to palace intrigue.
If it provokes her again, Shen Jing will definitely destroy it.
But now, she's been kicked out... Ha, who cares if they die.
For the rest of the day, Shen Jing stayed within the hunting area she and Vassi had agreed upon.
If a high-level zombie is detected, go and destroy its crystal core. If it is above level 7, provide the information to Gu Yan.
However, he generally doesn't need intelligence.
After Gu Yan obtains the crystal core of the high-level zombie, he will follow Shen Jing again.
Shen Jing didn't understand what the big boss was trying to do. His memories hadn't returned, so there was no reason for him to stick to her like that.
Moreover, he himself is capable of detecting high-level zombies.
Shen Jing was completely baffled by this.
However, if she were to ask again, she would probably only get the answer, "It's not that I dislike it."
It was 4 p.m.
Huang Simiao did not contact her, and apart from encountering two groups of survivors, she did not meet any more people from the convoy.
Only a suicidal person would be foolish enough to risk their life in the city center.
Don't think about people during the day, or they'll appear right in front of you. Murphy's Law is absolutely true.
This time, they were able to detect that Huang Simiao was only 200 meters ahead.
Seeing that she had stopped in place, Gu Yan asked in confusion, "There are also Level 1 zombies ahead, why are you not moving?"
"I saw some acquaintances; they're probably in some trouble."
"You want to get involved in their troubles." Gu Yan could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
"The investment was just starting to show some promise. If she dies like this, all the crystal cores we've invested will be wasted."
Besides Huang Simiao and his group, there were other teams crammed inside.
The gate blocking their path was about to be breached by several ferocious zombies. Clearly, this place, originally a haven for zombies to cool off, had now been taken over by the survivors.
No wonder the zombies were so violent.
The city has gradually seen an increase in mutated animals, and the zombies' activity space has been shrinking. Unexpectedly, these delicious-smelling foods have also come to join the fun!
Shen Jing was right; coming to the city center was suicidal!
"Ho ho!"
"Snap, snap!"
The howls of the zombies combined with the sound of glass shattering was enough to drive the humans inside to despair.
Some were so provoked that they lost their minds and began to scream shrilly.
"Ahhh! Don't come any closer!"
"Waaah...they're so scary, I want to go home!"
"Stop yelling! The more you yell, the more zombies you'll attract!"
However, emotions that have already collapsed are not so easy to control.
The cries and shouts inside the shop gradually grew louder, a far cry from the high spirits that the convoy had displayed when it set off.
Huang Simiao and his team had originally arrived after receiving rescue information from other teams.
But to their surprise, the people inside initially didn't want to open the door for them!
Moreover, the people inside kept saying they wanted them to eliminate the zombies outside first, after all, He Qing was the base leader with superpowers!
Those people's thoughts were also very simple.
If it weren't for He Qing's special abilities, they wouldn't have followed him out to find supplies.
I never expected the base chief to be so incompetent, he even wanted the shops to hide with him!
The shop was already cramped; how could it possibly hold so many people? Now they're just adding a couple more meat dishes for the zombies! They'd already suffered a zombie horde attack, with significant casualties. They barely escaped death, and now they're almost sunburnt to death.
This trip to find supplies was undoubtedly the most painful one yet.
Once back at base, they would never go out, no matter what; even if they had points, they wouldn't have the chance to enjoy them!
Zhou Lihao couldn't stand their attitude and angrily yanked one of them aside: "Are you trying to push the captain out?"
This person was desperately pushing against Men Heqing!
"He's the base commander, isn't it his duty to protect us?"
"And he also has superpowers. I heard that even if he's bitten by a zombie, he won't mutate!"
"A person with superpowers, yet hiding away like a coward!"
He Qing clutched her still-bleeding abdomen and said to Zhou Lihao, "I'll go out first."
He reeked of blood, which only drove the zombies crazier further.
Those people pretended not to see it, and what they were more worried about was the zombies smelling blood. "Base commander, there's nothing we can do. You see, we're just ordinary people, but those zombies outside aren't afraid of guns!"
Zhang Run glared at the man who spoke, which scared him so much that he hid to the side.
Then he said to He Qing, "If you go out, you'll be torn to pieces. You're an ability user, not a rubber man who can be pieced back together."
Li Chu also advised, "Aqing, let me use my special ability to heal you first."
Hearing this, those people became even more displeased, feeling that Li Chu was playing favorites against them.
"Several of us are injured, don't go!" she said, pulling at Li Chu.
