It seemed that he had grown tired of the game. The man forcefully hurled the middle-aged woman against the wall of the living room. Her body slammed into the wall with such force that it left a deep dent.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Xiaoran felt a bit surprised. He had initially thought that this man was just a stronger-than-average person. However, being able to effortlessly smash through an entire wall was clearly beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. It appeared that this man was also an Ability user, likely possessing some form of strength-related Ability.
After observing the room for a while longer, Lu Xiaoran noticed a middle-aged man's corpse lying on the floor, presumably the husband of the woman who had just been thrown. They were likely the original residents of this house. This meant that the muscular Ability user was probably a burglar.
Why were these Ability users all engaged in robbery? Lu Xiaoran felt puzzled. In recent days, all the Ability users he had encountered, regardless of gender, seemed to be involved in such home invasions.
However, after a moment's thought, he quickly realized how things worked. Those Ability users who stayed quietly at home appeared no different from ordinary people. Even if Lu Xiaoran passed by their windows, he wouldn't be able to identify their true identities as Ability users. Only those who committed robberies and made a scene would attract his attention.
As for why these individuals resorted to theft? The answer was even more obvious. Everyone was trapped in their homes now, and food supplies were running dangerously low. Awakening an Ability during such times was akin to acquiring a powerful weapon. Under these circumstances, many could not suppress their impulses and would likely want to use their Abilities to seize food from their neighbors in order to survive longer.
Lu Xiaoran floated outside the window and raised his hand to conjure a submachine gun.
Just as he aimed the gun at the Ability inside the room, ready to pull the trigger, something on the Ability's face suddenly caught Lu Xiaoran's attention. Wait, why is this person wearing a Gas Mask?
Earlier, this Ability had been facing away from the window. Lu Xiaoran hadn't noticed the Gas Mask on his face. After throwing the middle-aged woman to her death, the Ability turned slightly, and the Gas Mask came into Lu Xiaoran's view.
The Gas Mask worn by this Ability was completely different from those made from plastic bottles and Activated Carbon. This was a factory-produced mask that could provide long-term protection.
From his memories of his previous life, Lu Xiaoran knew that such Gas Masks were extremely rare and could only be obtained in official shelters. However, ordinary people didn’t even have the qualifications to enter a shelter, let alone receive a Gas Mask.
Since this Ability was wearing such a Gas Mask, it seemed likely that he was someone from a shelter. But if he really was from a shelter, why would he go through so much trouble to come to this residential building and commit Burglary?
It would be better to just ask him directly for clarification.
