"Those people are murderers. Qi Jing, you are a superpower, you can't just ignore them."
"That's right, my precious grandson is still so young, he can't be scared by those people." The curly-haired aunt chimed in.
The people in the warehouse gradually became noisy again, all of them wanting Qi Jing to go out and get rid of all the strangers outside.
Qi Jing glanced at the crowd, her pale face still devoid of color. She turned and walked towards the warehouse door, forcing it open. She said to the people inside, "The door is open. Whether you want to go out and fight zombies or capture people, it's up to you. I said, I won't participate."
The crowd was silent for a moment. A middle-aged man came over and closed the warehouse door, cursing, muttering, "Tsk, if we had superpowers, would we still need you?"
"That's right, people with special abilities are just arrogant. They don't take people like us seriously at all and don't care whether we live or die."
"I think we should find some sticks or something to defend ourselves. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others."
Qi Jing had just used her special powers to protect these people. Her long, slightly curly black hair hung down behind her. Her porcelain-white face was frighteningly pale, and her thin lips were bloodless. She stood there quietly listening to these people's complaints. She had clearly used her special powers not long ago to resist the zombies in the building, but now she was being ridiculed by her companions.
She was not in good health, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She felt dizzy after standing for a while, and finally sat down to rest, holding on to the box beside her.
Everyone in the crowd noticed that Qi Jing looked unhappy, but no one came out to speak for her. Everyone was trapped in the mall, and their emotions were already unstable, and they could get angry at any moment, so no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.
Qi Jing didn't have the energy to care about these people anymore. She closed her eyes slightly and stopped looking at the noisy crowd.
On the fifth floor, the smell of smoke and decaying corpses spread throughout the entire mall. Even though Chen Wan and the others were standing by the window, they were still nauseated by the smell. However, there was no other way. In order to prevent the spread of disease, cremating the corpses was the best way.
The zombies worked diligently under Chen Wan's control, and they had a clear division of labor. Some were responsible for carrying the corpses, some were adding coal to the stove, and some were dumping the corpse residue aside. The whole process was well organized, but Chen Wan's forehead was sweating. An hour had passed, and many corpses had not been burned. But Chen Wan was about to give up.
.
Jiang Yanxin frowned as she looked at Chen Wan's condition and said, "How about I materialize Zeus? Burning them one by one is too slow. We haven't even finished burning twenty bodies yet."
Chen Wan was stunned for a moment. They had been so focused on using Zeus to charge their weapons that they had almost forgotten that they had been attacked by Zeus's electric current. Whether they were human or zombie, they would all be reduced to slag. She nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I almost forgot. Let Zeus do it. I've revoked my supernatural power."
"Okay, then I'll materialize Zeus." Jiang Yanxin pulled out the wrinkled picture album from behind her waist and opened the page about Zeus.
The tall blond man appeared out of nowhere again. Jiang Yanxin had been using him a lot recently, always asking him to do some strange things. Zeus was a little worried, and he didn't know what tricks the person who materialized him would have in store for him.
Jiang Yanxin glanced at Zeus and gave him an order: "Turn all the zombies and zombie corpses on the opposite side into black ash."
Zeus froze for a moment. He could understand fighting zombies, but he couldn't understand why he had to oversee the cremation of corpses. Was that something a god of gods should do?
But even though he complained, Zeus has become much more accepting since he became a power bank for people like Jiang Yanxin. So what if he was cremated? It was outrageous anyway that he was not asked to charge the RV.
Zeus looked at Jiang Yanxin helplessly, and gently waved the spear in his hand towards the opposite side. A blue light poured out from the spear, glancing lightly at the zombies on the opposite side that had escaped Chen Wan's control.
The level 2 zombies instinctively sensed the danger and fled in panic, but when they were touched by the blue light spots, their bodies began to shake violently as if they had been electrocuted, and eventually turned into a pile of ashes.
The zombies and their corpses on the opposite side turned into black ashes and were swept out of the window by the wind and snow outside. After clearing out all the zombies, Chen Wan and the others breathed a sigh of relief and walked downstairs.
On the other side, the smell of burning meat soon reached the warehouse below, and people gradually smelled something wrong.
"Hey, do you smell anything?"
"It smells like spoiled meat being roasted over a fire. It's so awful."
"What's going on outside? Could it be that those women set the fire to burn us to death?"
"That's impossible. It's snowing so heavily outside. If this place burns down, they'll die too."
"But how do we explain the smell outside? Could it be that those people are so hungry that they
Is the meat roasted?"
The more people talked, the more anxious they became. Waves of uneasiness swept through the nerves of the people in the warehouse. They wanted to go outside to see what was going on, but they were all afraid of death. After all, those were seven strong alphas who had just gone out, and they hadn't come back, let alone them.
There was a commotion in the crowd for a while, and the five-year-old boy burst into tears when he smelled the stench.
The sixty-something woman was so distressed that she frowned and looked at Qi Jing, who was sitting there resting with her eyes closed. She started to grumble again, "There's a person with superpowers, but he's hiding here, not even trying to help others check on the situation. Some people are so selfish, they only care about their own life and death, not the life and death of others."
"Exactly. If I had superpowers, I would have gone out to check it out long ago. There's no reason to scare everyone."
"An Omega just won't do. I think we need an alpha."
The noisy sounds in the warehouse reached Qi Jing's ears. She was already very weak, and she felt even more dizzy after hearing these heart-wrenching words. When everyone was trapped by the heavy snow, they were still able to maintain some basic human etiquette. She saved them, and most people also thanked her. But only half a day had passed, so how did things develop into what they are now?
Obviously, she had contributed the most, but in the end, she was the one who was complained about not doing well enough. Qi Jing felt a chill, not knowing whether it was because the temperature around her had dropped a lot, or because she was heartbroken.
"Some people just play deaf and dumb and don't say anything. Even if they hear something, they pretend not to hear it." The curly-haired lady's words became more and more unpleasant. The little boy in her arms cried and said he wanted to go out because he disliked the pungent smell in the warehouse.
"You can't say that. She doesn't look very well." A female Omega whispered in defense of Qi Jing, which made the aunt even more angry.
"What's wrong? You want to lick the psychic's lip? Then go over there and see if they'll appreciate your kindness." The aunt rolled her eyes. The female Omega was speechless and simply sat down and ignored the aunt.
The bald man opened the door of the warehouse and looked outside. The pungent smell of rotting meat became stronger. He glanced at the remaining thirty or so people in the warehouse and said, "If you ask me, we still have to be on guard against those women encroaching on our supplies. The heavy snow has blocked the entire building, and we don't know what will happen next. The food and clothes in the mall are limited, and we can't let them take our things. Qi Jing, don't arrest anyone, and go out with us to get supplies, okay? After all, you are also a superpower.
, you standing beside us will make us feel more at ease when we work."
"That's right. It's fine if you don't want to catch anyone, but at least you can keep an eye on them for us." The curly-haired lady continued to mutter.
Qi Jing used a lot of strength to hold her eyelids closed, and almost stood up by holding on to the boxes beside her. She looked at everyone with a pale face, and after a long while, she uttered a word: "Okay."
Everyone was in a hurry to go out together to move things. Except for one or two female Omegas who came to help Qi Jing, the rest of the people pretended not to see Qi Jing's pale face.
When Qi Jing arrived at the supermarket, she had to be supported by two people to barely stand. She was shivering from the cold, but sweat was pouring down her forehead. She was supported and watched her companions carry things.
When Chen Wan and the others went down to the second floor, they heard Yiyi's reminder behind them.
"There are people in the supermarket on the basement floor. It looks like there are quite a few of them, probably more than thirty people. Everyone, please be careful later." Yiyi reminded.
"Okay, let's go back to the RV." After they went out for a while, Chen Wan felt that she was not wearing enough clothes. The temperature in the mall should be almost below zero by now.
They inevitably had to go through the supermarket to return to the underground garage. After all, it was impossible for Chen Wan and the others to not go back to the RV just to avoid people. When they went down, the more than 30 people below were as if they were facing a great enemy.
It was the same old lady holding her grandson who started yelling at Chen Wan and the others, "You bunch of murderers! Everything in this mall belongs to us. You can't take it! Back off! There are only six of you, and we have dozens of people."
Some of those people were holding kitchen knives, and some were holding wooden boards. It was obvious that they wanted to deal with Chen Wan and the others.
Chen Wan glanced at these people. Yiyi behind her whispered a reminder: "The woman standing by the shelf over there is a superpower, and the rest are ordinary people."
Chen Wan nodded and said, "First of all, we didn't kill them. Instead, you sent a few alphas with ill intentions towards us, and they were eventually bitten to death by zombies. Secondly, in the apocalypse, supplies in shopping malls like this are shared, and your names aren't on anything here. Finally, we killed all the zombies here, and we've disposed of the bodies to prevent the rotting flesh from breeding disease. You should be thanking us instead of pointing weapons at us."
"Kill all the zombies? Do you think we are fools? Who would believe that?" The aunt sneered, and the others followed suit.
Chen Wan smiled and shook his head
"Whatever. We've seen a lot of ungrateful people along the way. Believe it or not, we're just heading back to our car now. We have no intention of starting a conflict with you. Just give way."
"Wait, you just leave like that? We haven't agreed yet. Let me tell you, there are people with superpowers among us. Qi Jing, why don't you say something?" The bald man directly called out Qi Jing.
Chen Wan and the others were still looking down from the now-deactivated escalator when they saw the pale-faced woman named Qi Jing approach them. "We don't intend to cause a conflict. You're right. Since the supplies are in this building, they're shared by everyone. Please leave."
Seeing that she was being reasonable and looking unhappy, Chen Wan asked, "Miss Qi, you don't look too good. You should be more careful. We came from Weibei City and have seen many people who like to use moral blackmail on others along the way. I advise Miss Qi to think more about herself and not throw her sincerity away."
Qi Jing replied with a pale face: "Thank you for the reminder."
"How can you talk like that? You're calling us dogs? Qi Jing, what do you mean?" The aunt's sharp voice rang out in the empty supermarket, causing goosebumps to form on people's bodies.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the ground. Because there was a power generation device in the building and two people were left in the warehouse to control the power generation equipment, the lights in the supermarket on the underground floor were still on.
"It seems like something is coming." Yiyi scanned the surroundings and reminded.
"What is that? Everyone stand behind Qi Jing and let Qi Jing go up. Qi Jing, you can't just ignore our lives. We don't want to die yet." The aunt's voice began to sound again, this time with a bit of crying tone, and there was chaos all around.
"Shut up if you don't want to die." Qi Jing gritted her teeth and finished her words. The cold sweat on her body had soaked through her clothes.
In the face of unknown danger, those people needed to rely on Qi Jing, so they immediately shut up obediently, for fear that Qi Jing would be unhappy and ignore them.
When those things were more than a hundred meters away from Chen Wan and the others, Yiyi had already scanned what they were. She shouted, "It's rats, everyone hurry up and get on the shelves!"
