Chapter 180: 115 Being Watched (Third Update)

Though the enemy had all been slaughtered, the expressions on everyone’s faces were far from good. Especially for Chen Qiao’s group of five, they were all acutely aware that they had narrowly escaped a fatal outcome. No one had expected the opposition to have guns!

Had it not been for Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian using Spiritual Sense to interfere with the enemy’s Sea of Consciousness, granting them the upper hand, they would have been severely wounded, if not dead!

Chen Qiao and his four companions were relatively lucky, having encountered the military not long after the apocalypse began and following them to reach the Safe Zone safely, without experiencing too much hardship or the brutal plundering that occurred between survivors. This trial had left them utterly out of their depth.

Now, with zombies rampant and Mutant Zombies continually emerging, the living conditions for humanity had become extremely harsh. They couldn’t understand why some people wouldn’t think to hunt down more zombies but instead set up ambushes to attack their own kind.

This realization left them feeling disheartened and simultaneously petrified.

Seeing their grim expressions, Fang Yuyang worried that dwelling on the incident would affect the upcoming fights and said, "Alright, Chen Qiao, you and the others go clean up the battlefield. Collect the guns and see if there’s anything else useful."

With tasks at hand, the five of them no longer had the leisure to dwell on recent events, focusing instead on claiming their spoils of war. Fang Yuxin nodded at Fang Yuyang and then, using the ground for leverage, leapt up as if she were a martial artist performing acrobatics in a novel. Midway, she rebounded off a wall, gaining further height, grabbed the balcony railing to flip herself over nimbly, and lightly landed on the balcony.

On the balcony lay two bodies, one male and one female, both with eyes wide open, a look of unwillingness, surprise, and fear still not entirely faded from their eyes.

The man’s right index finger was still on the trigger, no longer having the chance to press it. Fang Yuxin took the gun from his hand into her storage space, searched his body, and found a pistol, a dagger, a Crystal Core, bullets, and other items.

There weren’t many Crystal Cores or bullets—whether it was because the quantities were originally small or they were placed elsewhere was unknown.

Fang Yuxin didn’t dwell on it, after searching the man, she also searched the woman, finding only cosmetics and candies, nothing of value.

There were seven men inside the room, all dead. Fang Yuxin quickly entered, efficiently taking anything useful before returning to the balcony and jumping back down.

By the time she arrived, Chen Qiao and the others had already collected what they could use. These people didn’t seem like soldiers, probably from the criminal underworld, no wonder they had guns. It was just unlucky for them that there weren’t many Crystal Cores or bullets. Disinterested in such trifles, Fang Yuyang let them divide the loot amongst themselves.

Two vans were moved aside, the gasoline inside them drained by Chen Qiao and his group.

The group soon left the place, the incident fading into the back of their minds, with none looking back. They all knew this was just a minor episode, yet such incidents were likely to happen more frequently in the future.

With the dire living conditions for humanity and the scarcity of resources, to better ensure survival, some people had resorted to preying on their own kind. Perhaps in their eyes, compared to their fellow humans, the zombies that had transformed into monsters appeared even more terrifying!

The event unfolded too quickly, and from the expertise of those they encountered, this was clearly not their first time. It was unknown how many people had died at their hands, a pity that this time they were the unlucky ones, mistaking their prey for an easy target, only to kick an iron plate and not only fail to gain anything but also lose their lives!

The car wasn’t moving fast. Along the way, Fang Yuxin and Bai Qian were using their Spiritual Sense to scout the surroundings. This task was undoubtedly exhausting, but the advantages were significant. Once Fang Yuxin extended her Spiritual Sense, everything within a kilometer radius was under her surveillance—whether there were supplies, Elemental Stones, or survivors was crystal clear, erasing any fears of falling into traps.

On the road, they occasionally encountered zombies and Mercenary Teams out to hunt zombies or look for supplies. Many of them looked very ragged compared to Fang Yuxin’s group, who were so clean it was almost anomalous.

It didn’t take long before they were targeted again.

It was a short man with a sleazy look who eyed Fang Yuxin’s group and their vehicle enviously and greedily. As the vehicle drifted into the distance, he spat on the ground with a "pth," cursing resentfully, "The world’s really damn unfair; it’s the end of the world, and there are still people flaunting their wealth! So high-profile, not afraid of catching Master Meng’s eye..."
