Bai Yaoyao led the group through the streets on a rampage. From leaving at around six in the morning until now, past eleven, they had collected 216 Crystals and killed countless Zombies.
“Sis Yao, there’s a Warehouse Supermarket ahead!” Keke exclaimed excitedly, holding a Zombie’s head in one hand and its body in the other.
“Let’s go, let’s go! Time for some Zero-Dollar Shopping!” Xiaomi rubbed his hands together eagerly.
“Alright, let’s check it out.” Although Bai Yaoyao didn’t want to seize ordinary people’s essential resources, it was necessary to gather some non-essential supplies.
“Careful, there are people at the second-floor window,” Fatty warned.
Bai Yaoyao had spotted them from afar. Many people, waking up to this situation, desperately ventured out to gather supplies before hurrying home to await rescue. So, when encountering ordinary survivors, Bai Yaoyao chose not to engage.
Releasing her psychic senses, Bai Yaoyao clearly detected the malicious intent from the group on the second floor—they even had guns.
After alerting everyone, the people upstairs suddenly opened the window and shouted, “Who are you? Don’t come any closer! This place is ours!”
To emphasize their point, one of them fired a shot into the empty space in front of the door.
“Damn, this guy’s got some nerve! Sis Yao, should we take him down?” Monkey, who couldn’t stand being provoked, was instantly furious.
Just as Bai Yaoyao was about to respond, another cry came from the second floor: “Help! Someone, please help!”
“Shut up, you bitch! Say another word and see what happens! Didn’t you have enough fun earlier?”
“Is anyone down there? Please save us!”
The man who had fired the shot grabbed the pleading woman and shoved her out the window. She crashed heavily in front of the supermarket door, her head hitting the steps. Blood pooled instantly—even from a distance, it was clear she wouldn’t survive. Notably, the woman wasn’t wearing any clothes.
“Oh my, this one has quite the temper,” Lulu remarked in a gentle yet cold tone, stroking the blade in her hand. Bai Yaoyao knew this was Lulu’s precursor to losing control.
Lulu had been rescued from the red-light district by their master. At the time, Lulu’s mother was still alive. Normally, the organization didn’t accept children with living relatives, but…
Upon hearing this rule, Lulu’s mother jumped from a building—just so the master would take Lulu away, sparing her daughter from growing up in such a degrading environment.
The scene of the man throwing the woman out the window must have triggered painful memories for Lulu.
“Eliminate them. Raid the supermarket,” Bai Yaoyao decided immediately.
The moment Bai Yaoyao spoke, Lulu swiftly raised her hand. A bolt of lightning, thick as a baby’s arm, struck the man directly on the head. He convulsed violently, his body slumping crookedly in the window frame, half of him dangling outside.
Bai Yaoyao gave Lulu a thumbs-up and grasped her hand. Lulu murmured softly, “I’m fine.”
Monkey and Dada Juan looked at the tiny streams of water and flickers of flame in their own hands, then recalled the lightning Lulu had just unleashed. Envy practically made them drool.
…
“Boss, are you okay?”
“Boss? The boss doesn’t seem able to stand.”
“Maybe we should…”
The lackeys who had been standing behind the man thoughtfully grabbed his legs and unceremoniously tossed their boss out the window.
In just a few short minutes, the man met his end in the same manner. Seeing his wide-eyed death stare, Bai Yaoyao only wanted to say one thing: “Serves you right!””
The underlings seemed slightly smarter than their boss who was thrown down, but not by much.
Without another word to Bai Yaoyao and the others, they quickly closed the windows and pulled down the rolling shutter door of the supermarket’s first floor.
Bai Yaoyao didn’t waste any time either. She loved nothing more than turning the tables on villains. Directly from her space, she tossed out an sJ11 Micro Bomb.
After blowing the door open, everyone charged inside. Shitou and Fatty led the charge, with Xiaomi and Monkey covering the rear. Kicking the door down and rushing in, they’d grown accustomed to slaughter, so they merely clicked their tongues without being too affected.
Four women were tied up in the corner. Not only were their bodies covered in wounds, but each was also barely clothed. It was clear what they had just endured, as they all huddled together, sobbing and wailing.
No one paid them much attention. Keke hooked a few pieces of clothing from the ground with his foot and flung them over.
The others all charged toward the underlings who had caused their boss’s fatal fall. The underlings had been stunned the moment the door was blown open. Who were these people? They could summon thunder, had bombs, while the boss’s hunting rifle was something he’d scavenged from the countryside years ago.
Before they could even pull the triggers as the group rushed in, they were subdued and immediately began a new round of pleading.
“We’re not bad people! We were forced! Our boss was the one who killed everyone!”
“You’re lying! You’re all demons!” the women in the corner cried out.
Bai Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and said, “How annoying.”
Monkey and the others instantly understood. With swift efficiency, they slit their throats.
After finding a safe in the room, Fatty used his Metal-type Ability to create a key. Once they’d collected the gold bars inside, they prepared to leave.
“Wait! Thank you for saving us. Could you please take me home? This supermarket belongs to my family. I stayed late working yesterday and didn’t go back. This morning, these people suddenly rushed in… If you can take me home, my father will surely reward you handsomely. You can also take some of the goods from this supermarket. Consider those gold bars a gift.”
“Please, kind people, take us home! There are zombies everywhere outside. It’s too terrifying…”
Only then did Bai Yaoyao turn to glance at the women in the corner. The first one who spoke seemed relatively composed, but her words were unpleasant. The second one had her collar pulled down as low as possible, tearfully gazing at Shitou.
The other two, who hadn’t spoken, quickly dressed and retreated to the farthest corner, watching Bai Yaoyao and the others warily, with no intention of speaking or seeking help.
Bai Yaoyao smiled and replied, “No need for thanks.”
“Then could you…”
“No, we’re not here to save people. We’re here to kill. Still need help?” Bai Yaoyao batted her large eyes, using the gentlest tone to deliver the harshest words. Combined with the group’s intimidating presence, the two women didn’t dare say another word.
After exiting, everyone quickly gathered usable supplies. Since it was a warehouse-style supermarket, the resources were exceptionally abundant.
“Everyone, pick what you want. Assemble at the entrance in 10 minutes.”
Bai Yaoyao didn’t take any instant food products at all, but collected half of items like rice, flour, and oil.
After breaking open the freezer door, she took all the frozen foods. As for the clothing section, home goods section, tobacco and alcohol section, health products section, and cosmetics section, she completely cleared them out without leaving anything behind.
Returning to the entrance, she collected the items everyone had picked out and didn’t waste any more time, quickly leaving.
Bai Yaoyao wasn’t unaware that many people around were observing their situation, all waiting for them to leave so they could scavenge for leftovers.
She made no attempt to hide her space ability whatsoever. If you have the capability, come and try to take it. In the face of absolute strength, there’s no need to bother with such details. The real priority is to seize the time to earn crystal cores and level up.
