After switching to bicycles, they were attacked by far fewer mutant creatures.
They could also easily outrun the slow zombies.
However, their travel speed became much slower.
Mo Han suffered the most.
As a long-time shut-in, even though becoming a level-two ability user improved his body, he was still the weakest in the group.
Every day, he was exhausted.
To avoid slowing everyone down, he pushed himself to the limit.
Along the way, they met other survivors.
But no one greeted each other.
They only glanced at one another and passed by.
Even though resources were not extremely scarce yet, competition between humans had already begun.
One evening, they finally found a shop.
Because of space-ability users, most shops they had seen before were already emptied.
Now, their food and water were running low.
So the supplies in this shop were very important—especially water.
They parked the bicycles outside.
Zhou Wu and Liu Qing stayed behind to guard them.
The others went inside.
Unfortunately, someone was already there.
There were seven people.
One of them, a girl, had a space ability and was storing food and water.
When they saw Mo Han’s group, they immediately became alert.
It looked like a fight could start at any moment.
Zhong Tianxiang spoke first:
“Don’t worry. We mean no harm. We just need some food and water. Can you share some with us? ”
“Share? ” a young man said coldly.
“We don’t even have enough ourselves. Go somewhere else.”
He looked about twenty, with a rough attitude.
What surprised Mo Han was that this young man seemed to be their leader.
But after sensing his strength, it made sense—he was a level-two ability user.
“Situ Yu? Why are you here? ”
Shen Yuan finally showed a hint of surprise.
“Brother Shen Yuan! ”
Situ Yu reacted excitedly.
“What are you doing here?! ”
Situ Yu…
Mo Han immediately recognized him.
He was the younger brother of Situ Yun—one of the male leads.
Both brothers had wind abilities and great talent.
In fact, Situ Yu was even stronger.
But he didn’t have protagonist luck.
Later, his ability would be destroyed, and he would become like a normal person.
He would eventually die in a zombie attack while his brother was busy saving the female lead.
Suddenly, Mo Han remembered something shocking.
The one who destroyed Situ Yu’s ability…
was Shen Yuan.
But that didn’t make sense.
Shen Yuan and Situ Yun were close friends.
He even treated Situ Yu like a younger brother.
So why would he try to kill him?
According to the timeline, it might happen today.
Mo Han glanced at Shen Yuan, but his face showed no emotion.
Shen Yuan asked,
“We’re heading to City C. Why aren’t you with your brother? ”
Situ Yu frowned.
“I argued with him. I don’t want to be with him.”
“Nonsense,” Shen Yuan said coldly.
“Do you know how dangerous it is outside? What if something happens to you? ”
“I’m not a kid. My brother is only level two, just like me. I don’t need his protection.”
Then he added:
“You need supplies, right? Take everything here. We’ll leave first.”
Then he quickly left with his group.
Mo Han felt something was wrong.
Situ Yu seemed afraid of Shen Yuan.
Was he trying to avoid him?
Did he already know something?
Shen Yuan frowned.
“Something is wrong with him. I’ll go check. You guys gather supplies.”
Then he ran after them.
Zhao Yan frowned deeply.
Mo Han asked,
“What’s wrong? ”
Zhao Yan said slowly,
“When I used my detection ability, he felt… strange. But I can’t explain it.”
Mo Han made a decision.
“You gather supplies. I’ll go after them.”
Before anyone could stop him, he ran out.
Outside, Zhou Wu grabbed him.
“What’s going on?”
Mo Han shook his head.
“I’m not sure. That’s why I’m going.”
Then he ran off.
Shen Yuan chased Situ Yu’s group for a long distance.
Finally, Situ Yu stopped and turned around.
“Why are you chasing me?”
Mo Han also arrived but hid nearby to watch.
Shen Yuan asked,
“Why did you run when you saw me?”
Situ Yu sighed.
“Brother Shen Yuan… you forced me to do this.”
Before he finished speaking—
He attacked.
A wind blade shot toward Shen Yuan with no hesitation.
Shen Yuan was shocked.
He barely dodged in time.
“Why are you standing there? Kill him!” Situ Yu shouted.
A girl named Du Xiao spoke:
“Situ Yu, have you gone crazy? You want to kill Brother Shen Yuan?”
She had known them before the apocalypse.
“Shut up,” Situ Yu said coldly.
“This has nothing to do with you.”
The others didn’t know Shen Yuan, so they attacked without hesitation.
Among them:
One of the normal people quietly ran away during the fight.
Mo Han didn’t pay much attention to him.
After dodging, Shen Yuan rushed toward one of the normal men with a gun.
The man fired, but it only grazed Shen Yuan’s arm.
Shen Yuan grabbed his head and released electricity—
killing him instantly.
At that moment, Mo Han jumped out from hiding.
He blocked Situ Yu’s wind blade with ice.
Everyone was shocked—even Shen Yuan.
Mo Han quickly explained:
“Zhao Yan said something felt wrong when he checked Situ Yu. You know each other—why is he attacking you?”
With Mo Han helping, Shen Yuan felt less pressure.
Lightning flashed again, killing another enemy.
“I don’t know,” Shen Yuan said. “He’s not normal.”
Seeing things go badly, Situ Yu turned and ran.
Mo Han and Shen Yuan chased him.
Shen Yuan quickly killed the remaining enemies and followed.
Mo Han reached Situ Yu first and grabbed his arm—
Suddenly, he screamed and held his head, falling to the ground.
