The large rat lay flat on the ground, its eyes glazed over, and its skin had long been burned away, with grease dripping out, intensifying the flames that literally drained it dry!
Li Nan smelled a heavy scent of charred flesh, and the flames dancing on the rat made it difficult for him to approach!
Beside him, Lin Hai was sizing up Li Nan, seemingly inquiring about a plan.
Li Nan observed the rats scurrying around; although they were now the size of a small dog, their inherent nature as rats remained, fleeing in panic even without anyone shouting at them!
Li Nan shouted, "This rat is done for. We don't need to take any more action; let's leave first!"
Behind them, thick smoke billowed from the Department Store, and the fire showed signs of spreading upward. Without any firefighting measures in place, the flames originating from the Underground Supermarket could very well consume the entire building!
However, this was no longer something Li Nan needed to consider.
The two large rats lying on the ground had been reduced to ashes, and Li Nan and Lin Hai stepped out with their weapons in hand, illuminated by the burning light.
Lin Hai looked up at the sky and estimated it was around three in the afternoon. He immediately asked Li Nan, "With our hands empty, can we return to the camp?"
Li Nan shook his head. "We can't go back now. Without any gains, there will be no food. We'll just end up hungry, so we must search the area a bit more!"
As soon as Li Nan finished speaking, he faintly heard the sound of car engines nearby!
"Did you hear that?" Li Nan asked Lin Hai, who also noticed something unusual around them. He immediately crouched down and listened closely before saying, "There is indeed the sound of cars, and not just one!"
Li Nan raised his Compound Bow cautiously. "Can you tell roughly where it's coming from?"
A grim expression appeared on Lin Hai's face. "It should be right behind that Department Store and is approaching us!"
Lin Hai turned back and said slowly, "It seems our situation is not optimistic, and we don't know who the other party is!"
Li Nan stepped aside, weapon in hand, quickly moving to the edge of the street, then asked Lin Hai, "Have you heard of any other Survivors nearby?"
Lin Hai shook his head, "I've never heard of any other Survivor camps in this area. However, judging by the sound of those vehicles, they must be heavily loaded. This means they are definitely not just a ragtag group; there are at least ten of them!"
Li Nan replied, "Regardless of whether they are friendly or hostile, we need to come up with a countermeasure. Perhaps their vehicles have supplies. Since we can't search for them, robbing them is also an option!"
Lin Hai looked at himself and Li Nan and said in disbelief, "Just the two of us? Can we really rob two vehicles?"
"Our current situation is already dire. Instead of leaving it to fate, we might as well seize what we can!"
Seeing Li Nan's serious expression, Lin Hai said, "I owe you one, so I'll follow your lead!"
The two of them hid in a storefront by the street, which mainly contained clothing and could not satisfy their hunger at all.
Three seconds later, a Liberation Truck approached, followed by a white Jinbei Van!
Li Nan hid behind a glass door, quietly observing the two vehicles. He noticed that on the first Truck, besides the driver, there were four Gunslingers—one in the passenger seat and three in the cargo area. The Jinbei Van had at least six people inside. This meant that there were at least eleven people across these two vehicles, all armed!
Faced with such a situation, Li Nan felt apprehensive about whether to take action.
He saw that the Truck was loaded with bags of rice—there were at least eighty bags if not a hundred—estimating it weighed around five to six tons. What does that mean? With this truckload of food, ten strong men could eat for a year or two!
Originally, Li Nan had dismissed the idea of taking action, but upon seeing the food, his eyes lit up. "This deal must be done!"
Li Nan gestured to Lin Hai behind him, indicating, "Can you take out the three Gunslingers in the Truck within two seconds?"
Lin Hai estimated the distance between himself and the Truck, then made a gesture that suggested he was unsure. "The Truck isn't slow. I can't guarantee it. If it can stop, I can shoot two at once, then take out the lone one without any problem!"
Li Nan smiled and gestured, "Alright! I'll make that Liberation Truck stop!"
Li Nan drew his Compound Bow and aimed at the front wheel of the large Truck with one eye closed. With a whoosh, the arrow flew through the air, hitting and exploding the front tire of the Liberation Truck!
With a loud bang, the tire burst, causing the Liberation Truck to spin and veer towards a nearby utility pole. Fortunately, the driver managed to brake just in time to stop it.
Just as Li Nan succeeded, Lin Hai's gun suddenly belched smoke, followed by two bullets flying out in quick succession. In response, three people fell from under the vehicle!
With one successful strike, Li Nan pressed down on himself and Lin Hai's position, waiting for the others in the truck to react. However, the driver of the Jinbei Van behind them paused for a moment before charging straight towards Li Nan and Lin Hai's location!
Hearing the engine getting closer, Li Nan shouted, "Not good! They've spotted us! We need to get upstairs quickly!"
Li Nan and Lin Hai immediately lifted themselves and ran upstairs. Meanwhile, several gun barrels had already protruded from the windows of the white van, unleashing a hail of gunfire at the entrance where Li Nan was.
"What's going on? Why is the enemy not following any pattern? They should at least get out to check things out instead of just charging in!" Li Nan exclaimed as he dashed up the stairs.
The situation was completely beyond Li Nan's expectations. He had initially planned to take down a few enemies first and then exploit their panic to gain an advantage. Ultimately, he intended to use guerrilla tactics with just the two of them to eliminate over ten opponents. However, things went awry when that Jinbei Van chased after them directly!
"It must be that black smoke from earlier that revealed our position. I guess they're not good people!" Lin Hai explained while running behind Li Nan.
Li Nan remained unfazed. "Whether they're good people or not doesn't matter; our robbery plan is already in motion. It's either we take them down or they take us down!"
Lin Hai bitterly said, "It seems that the latter has a greater probability now!"
"Not necessarily! The situation in this building cannot be figured out in a short time. If they want to take us down, it will take some effort! Once we get to the rooftop, we might be able to turn the tables!"
At this moment, the van had already crashed into the storefront downstairs, but Li Nan did not hear anyone getting out of the vehicle. This meant that the other party still had some reservations and did not dare to recklessly pursue them!
In a hurry, Li Nan and Lin Hai had already climbed to the fifth floor and leaped onto the rooftop.
Li Nan looked back and noticed that no one was chasing after them. He smiled and said, "Winning one round and losing another is a draw. However, since they can't figure out our pattern for the time being, they are hesitant to advance. It seems we still have a chance!"
Li Nan stealthily approached the edge of the rooftop and cautiously peered down to assess the situation below. Meanwhile, Lin Hai aimed his gun at various high points around them, wary of the enemy occupying advantageous positions and launching surprise attacks!
Lin Hai nodded, indicating that the surroundings were safe. Li Nan also confidently peeked out and was shocked to see countless black dots surging from below. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were all zombies!
"What’s going on?" Li Nan exclaimed quietly. Turning around, he saw that the department store was nearly reduced to ashes, and he instantly understood, "So that's what attracted the zombies!"
Li Nan turned to Lin Hai and shouted, "Things have changed; zombies are coming! The people below must be in a panic. It seems we haven't lost our advantage yet!"
Lin Hai leaned over to look down and suddenly realized something, his face turning pale in an instant!
