Wang Luojie was already sitting in the car, resting with his eyes closed, while the monkeys stood nearby, exchanging glances and feeling that Wang Luojie seemed strange today, a bit irritable. After all, it was the rookie's first mission and he was late, which was quite a show of authority!
However, if they didn't follow the base's arrangements, they would likely incur the base's displeasure...
Listening to the silence around them, Wang Luojie's voice came from the car: "His tardiness has nothing to do with us."
The abrupt voice broke the quiet atmosphere. Qiaoyue spoke up first: "In that case, let's hurry up and leave. If we delay any longer, it will probably be dark by the time we return to the base."
Everyone hesitated for a moment but decided to leave. As long as they could retrieve valuable supplies, the base would likely overlook it; after all, in a post-apocalyptic world, having supplies was paramount! They each got into their respective off-road vehicles: Wang Luojie and the monkeys were in the front car, Qiaoyue and a girl were in the middle car, while Lu Feng and Sun Xiang were in the last one.
All three vehicles resembled Hummers and had ample space inside. If both cars were fully loaded, they wouldn't need to go on missions for about six months!
Thus, the three vehicles sped away amidst envious gazes from those waiting to enter the base, kicking up a cloud of dust. Wang Luojie sat in the passenger seat, his eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and reluctance as he looked at the tightly closed gate in the rearview mirror. A hint of relief crossed his face as he exhaled deeply before starting to examine the terrain map with a calm expression.
However, as they passed by Thousand-People Town where Scarface had died, they failed to notice a swift figure following closely behind them.
As for Liu You'er, she had finished packing around 7 AM. After leaving a note on the table that read "On a mission, have eaten," she successfully exited the base using her mission card.
Having escaped the "breakfast curse," she felt great as she rampaged through various malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies on the outskirts of City A, collecting supplies. It wasn't until her space was filled to 90% that she finally looked at the pitifully empty shelves with satisfaction.
She hadn't wasted her week at the base; every day she had been "working hard" eating Ant Eggs. Three days ago, she finally broke through to Level Two. Although her Little Grass House still looked like it was over thirty square meters from outside, inside it was actually over two hundred square meters with an increased height of more than a meter. The fog outside the yard fence was nearly gone; fruit seeds had turned into saplings and various crops had sprouted. Though they weren't ripe yet, they brought considerable vitality to her space.
The little chicks had grown up and were laying eggs too—except for that proud rooster who completely ignored her after being "bled dry"!
"You're so temperamental; one day I'll eat you!"
Liu You'er muttered to herself while frowning at the shelves. Suddenly, her eyes brightened as she took out a large woven bag from her space. Under the fearful yet puzzled gazes of nearby Zombies, she completely cleared out what little remained on the already sparse shelves and effortlessly carried two nearly bursting bags as she walked toward the exit.
"Master... Master... Master! They... they... have arrived... here!"
The unfamiliar stuttering voice in her mind startled Liu You'er, and she remembered that she had captured a speed Zombie in Thousand-People Town that was tracking Wang Luojie and the others. However, wasn't this supposed to be a brainwave communication? Can brainwaves also stutter based on a person's speaking style?!
She felt a bit speechless but patiently placed the woven bag in the car before asking the Second-Level mid-tier speed Zombie, "Where is this place?"
The voice in her mind fell silent for a second before responding, "What do you mean...?"
Liu You'er felt a pang of frustration; how could she forget that Zombies had low intelligence? She had thought that simply capturing a Zombie would allow her to communicate at the same level as Liu Yue or Xiaomin.
"Master... Master... I... really want to eat them!"
Upon hearing this, Liu You'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hold on!"
"Sigh~"
Liu You'er sighed, sitting in the driver's seat and looking at the dazed expression of the Zombie outside the window, thinking, "If only my mind could connect to this stupid Zombie's vision."
She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat. Suddenly, the scenery in front of her changed! Even with her eyes closed, she could see Wang Luojie and the others! She opened her eyes in surprise and found everything as usual. But when she closed her eyes again and focused her thoughts, her vision transformed into that of the stupid Zombie!
"What about Liu Yue?"
She closed her eyes once more, and sure enough, the scenery changed again. Her view was filled with bloodshed; she saw white walls and hospital beds. It seemed Liu Yue was currently in a hospital, surrounded by piles of Zombie corpses and many oddly shaped Zombies. The commonality was that the Cores behind their heads were all missing.
In her line of sight, the owner of the eyes sat cross-legged, using hands smeared with brain matter and blood to bring a Core to his mouth. The reflection on the glass showed Liu Yue's expression was no longer dazed; instead, there was a hint of liveliness. It seemed he was also busy evolving.
Seeing this, Liu You'er stopped using Liu Yue's vision. Of course, she didn't communicate with Liu Yue because she knew he would either ask when she would come to find him or why she hadn't come yet, or he would urge her to look for him...
Her gaze returned to the stupid Zombie. To her surprise, she saw Wang Luojie walking away with a knife while a headless corpse lay quietly on the ground.
If she wasn't mistaken, then the corpse definitely belonged to that fool! No wonder it was so high, even a rock couldn't compare! Her vision slowly blurred, and eventually faded into darkness. The mental link between Liu You'er and this Zombie was completely severed.
"Oh my God."
Liu You'er didn't even know what to say. In less than a minute, this speedy Zombie had been taken down, completely embarrassing the speedy Zombies! If you can't win, at least run away! But what she didn't know was that because she ordered it not to harm them and just to watch them, this Zombie didn't do anything "extra" and simply squatted behind the bushes, just "watching."
Qiaoyue looked at Wang Luojie's furrowed brow and gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Luojie shook his head at Qiaoyue's worried face, indicating that everything was fine. Then he quietly asked the girl with sparkling eyes, "Xin Lian, how long can you mask our scent?"
The girl thought for a moment and replied in a clear voice, "Three hours; that's already the limit. And you can't be more than ten meters away from me!"
Wang Luojie stared at the supermarket ahead, his brow deeply furrowed. Although it seemed like there were no Zombies inside, in the apocalypse, even the slightest oversight could be fatal. He said in a low voice, "Maintain formation; safety first. If there are too many Zombies, we run. And most importantly, absolutely! Absolutely stay quiet!"
"Yes!"
Seeing her teammates' serious expressions, they formed a pentagon shape. Sun Xiang was at the front, Wang Luojie and the monkey were at the back, while Qiaoyue and Lu Feng were in the middle, surrounding Xin Lian. Even though she was an Ability user, her Ability couldn't attack opponents!
The bright sunlight outside the supermarket contrasted sharply with the flickering Electric Light inside, creating a sense of oppression for them. However, they had been living in this apocalypse for nearly two months as Ability users; this level of horror didn't faze them. The six cautiously entered through the supermarket's entrance.
That entrance seemed like a monster's wide-open mouth, welcoming the "food" that approached...
