Chapter 35
There was no movement, so it was safe.
Shen Yuan opened the door and walked in.
The power was out, the elevator had stopped, and the emergency lights had run out of battery; it was completely dark.
Shen Yuan turned on the High-Intensity Flashlight and observed carefully.
Three elevators, four doors.
On either side were two doors leading to two different Evacuation Passages, while the two doors opposite the elevators led to the stairs going up.
One of the doors was open; the Zombie likely came from there.
Above was a large supermarket that operated 24 hours, and there must be many Zombies inside.
"A Hu, let's go take a look." Shen Yuan closed that door and twisted a wire around it to ensure that no Zombies or anything else could come in from the stairs. He then did the same to the other stair door before pushing open the door directly opposite.
He then entered another corridor.
With the Elevator Lobby as the center, the building structure on both sides was basically symmetrical.
There were no Zombies, not a single one; it was very safe.
Shen Yuan walked to the end, pushed open the Civil Defense Door, entered the Evacuation Passage, and then turned off the High-Intensity Flashlight.
He tiptoed cautiously, opened another Civil Defense Door, and arrived at the underground parking lot.
With the faint light, Shen Yuan saw that there really seemed to be no Zombies left; they had all been cleared out, leaving behind only rotten and disgusting corpses. That group of people was really strong!
He quietly maneuvered around without making a sound and then discovered someone!
A figure sat in the back of a large truck, seemingly smoking.
Due to the dim light, Shen Yuan could only see a blurry silhouette, not clearly.
It appeared to be a man, around thirty years old, slightly overweight. He held a lit cigarette in his left hand and something else in his right hand that looked like...
A gun?
It turned out that not everyone had left; one person remained behind.
Well, there was still a large truck, so someone had to keep watch.
It was a box truck, and it was unclear what was inside. There were bloodstains and some kind of slime on the box, along with faint scratch marks, indicating it had been attacked by Zombies or Mutant Beasts.
Shen Yuan hid in a dark corner where it was difficult for others to spot him. His vision had improved significantly, allowing him to see somewhat clearly.
Shen Yuan did not make any sudden moves; instead, he chose to wait.
After a few minutes, he suddenly noticed another moving figure in the distance.
A silhouette was slowly approaching the Box Truck, sneaking quietly. It was hard to tell who it was. The figure seemed petite and graceful; perhaps it was a woman?
What did she intend to do?
Shen Yuan did not know, so he continued to wait.
He had already set down the Activated Engineering Shovel against the wall and picked up the Slingshot and steel balls.
Better safe than sorry.
The woman slowly approached and finally reached the back of the Box Truck. The person sitting in the truck's cabin had their back turned to her.
She raised her hand; it was an axe—a small fire axe.
Then she suddenly sprinted forward, and with a powerful push of her legs, she jumped high into the air, reaching over two meters, surpassing the highest record in Olympic high jump, landing behind the person on the Box Truck!
She gripped the fire axe tightly and swiftly swung it toward the Smoking Man's head.
She intended to kill him!
Shen Yuan was astonished because the woman's jumping ability was extraordinary, and her speed was incredibly fast. She was clearly not an ordinary person; she must have absorbed the Source of Life's Evolver, and her evolution was likely related to speed and jumping ability.
Shen Yuan thought she would succeed.
However, he was wrong.
At the moment the woman jumped, the Smoking Man had already turned around, raised his handgun, and fired.
Bang!
A shot hit the woman in the chest!
Then with a punch, he sent her flying away!
The woman landed and glanced at the Box Truck, seemingly unwilling to give up, but ultimately turned and ran.
"Wei Luhe! If you run, I'll kill your grandfather!" the Smoking Man shouted, then fired again.
He missed.
Wei Luhe did not stop at all; she hesitated only for a moment due to his words before continuing to run at high speed, heading straight toward Shen Yuan's hiding spot!
Shen Yuan cursed under his breath because both Wei Luhe and the Smoking Man glanced in his direction for a moment. Shen Yuan felt a sense of eye contact; clearly, both of them had noticed him!
"Wei Luhe! Do you have help?" the Smoking Man shouted again, yelling, "Then you can die together!"
He then tossed aside his cigarette butt and pulled out another gun from somewhere, firing both guns simultaneously, targeting Shen Yuan as well.
Shen Yuan quickly hid, cursing inwardly.
That Smoking Man actually took him for that woman's accomplice?
This was troublesome!
Whether it was Smoking Man or the woman named Wei Luhe, they were both a hassle. He did not want to get involved in such trouble. The Smoking Man had two guns, making him difficult to deal with, and he had no desire to confront him!
However, it seemed he could not avoid getting involved.
Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or something else, since that Smoking Man shot at him, wanting to kill him, he had no choice but to fight back.
If you want me dead, then you have to die!
Shen Yuan acted swiftly, firing a steel ball.
His aim was good; in an instant, he hit the Smoking Man in the chest. There was a muffled grunt as the steel ball penetrated his body!
He was not Guo Dalong; he did not have scales comparable to steel that could withstand the power of an Activated Slingshot shot, which was no less than that of an ordinary handgun.
The Smoking Man was tough as well; he merely grunted and then fired his handgun.
The handgun he used was likely a 5.8mm Semi-Automatic Pistol, known for its fast firing rate but lower power, with an effective range of 50 meters and a magazine capacity of at least 15 rounds. He had already fired at least six bullets and continued shooting.
Shen Yuan's 9mm Revolver only had six bullets.
One of those shots hit Shen Yuan's right calf!
Shen Yuan let out a muffled grunt.
Getting hit did not significantly hinder his mobility, and this kind of pain was something he had endured more than once before; he could bear it.
He fired three more steel balls in quick succession; one missed while the other two struck the Smoking Man. Notably, one of them hit the Smoking Man's right hand, knocking his handgun from his grip.
Shen Yuan's slingshot skills were so impressive that even Red Sister nodded in approval, and his accuracy was naturally exceptional!
Smoking Man had a gun as well.
He fired shots, but his left-handed shooting was clearly much worse than his right, lacking precision.
He shot like a madman, evidently trying to stop Shen Yuan from shooting, while retreating towards the Box Truck, hoping to use it for cover.
His shooting speed was too fast, and he quickly emptied the magazine. Then he reached into his jacket pocket, likely trying to change magazines.
Shen Yuan dodged just in time and avoided getting hit again.
He continued shooting, landing three steel balls that caused significant damage to Smoking Man.
At that moment, A Hu had already maneuvered close to Smoking Man and then pounced on him, biting down on his hand, preventing him from changing magazines.
A Hu was very agile, biting forcefully at his body. With both arms injured, Smoking Man had no way to fight back.
Suddenly!
A shadow rushed towards Smoking Man.
