Chapter 224: 137 Concealing Talisman (First Update)

Qiu Yiming’s men were clearing out the zombies that had rushed out of the warehouse. He stood atop the cargo truck with his hands behind his back, looking down on the three mercenary teams that had also come here to look for supplies. Seeing their apprehensive expressions, he felt disdain.

When no one answered, his voice took on a dangerous tone, "I just asked you all a question, did none of you hear me?"

His words immediately tensioned the atmosphere.

The three leaders exchanged glances. They all knew they couldn’t afford to offend Qiu Yiming, so they acted extra subservient, volunteering their reasons for being there.

Qiu Yiming looked at these three groups with a smile on his face, "We’re all survivors. Since you’re also here for supplies, let’s go in together."

After he spoke, someone knowingly made way, releasing the zombies.

Qiu Yiming’s men were all armed with guns, boasting formidable firepower, incapable of being approached by basic-level zombies. However, the other three teams had only a scattering of a dozen or so guns, and those were luckily obtained at that. The zombies couldn’t do anything against Qiu Yiming’s men, so after emerging, they immediately lunged at the three mercenary teams.

Qiu Yiming watched this scene with a satisfied smile.

As more and more zombies were drawn to the other three teams, he nimbly jumped down from the top of the cargo truck and walked over to Fang Mengyao, grabbing her arm and heading into the warehouse.

Realizing his intentions, the three teams were filled with regret. If they had known Qiu Yiming was this kind of person, they certainly would not have come! As they wallowed in anger and frustration, they suddenly realized that Bai Ye, Fang Yuyang, and the others hadn’t come at all. Puzzled for a moment, they quickly understood that this time, they were likely to lose both their leader and their forces!

It was their own fault for being too greedy; they were initially fixated on this warehouse, disdainful of the fewer, more scattered goods in the shops, which were a hassle to scavenge.

Otherwise, how could they have ended up trapped here, in a situation both awkward and dangerous?

When Qiu Yiming entered the warehouse, he took all his superpower users with him, leaving only a hundred ordinary soldiers armed with guns to keep watch outside.

He led Fang Mengyao at a brisk pace. When he saw some decent supplies, like canned meat, he had Fang Mengyao pack them into her space. Aside from Fang Mengyao, the others were also swift and adept at loading supplies, with practiced movements and well-coordinated efforts, evidently accustomed to this kind of situation.

Qiu Yiming stood beside Fang Mengyao, responsible for her protection. Every time zombies charged over, they were annihilated by him before they could get close.

Fang Mengyao was quick. Anything she touched could be stashed away in her game inventory with just a thought. As this was a task she was adept at, she even managed to spare some attention for Qiu Yiming while gathering supplies. Watching his resolute and cool face and his dashing movements, her heart pounded intensely and eagerly. Her affection for Qiu Yiming grew stronger, her resolve to have him more determined!

Thinking of Zhou Fanghua’s attitude toward Fang Yuxin, the corner of her mouth curled slightly, her heart brimming with joy. She had heard with her own ears; Zhou Fanghua was thoroughly disgusted with Fang Yuxin, vowing not to allow Fang Yuxin to marry into the Qiu Family, and Qiu Yiming had personally agreed!

She had waited so long, and finally, the day had come!

When she had set out this time, she clearly felt that Qiu Yiming’s attitude toward her had warmed, and Fang Mengyao thought he must have begun to notice her virtues, her heart swelling with joy.

But this was still not enough! She told herself internally; she wanted not only Qiu Yiming’s heart but also to snatch Bai Ye away, ensuring Fang Yuxin ended up with nothing!

With this thought, her movements quickened. Qiu Yiming followed by her side, and as they moved quickly, Fang Mengyao had already packed all the supplies she favored into her inventory.

The warehouse stored boxes of canned meat, making them extremely easy to collect. Anywhere she went, the boxes disappeared visibly fast. Soon, the whole warehouse was emptied.

After emptying one warehouse, they moved on to the next one. An endless influx of zombies continued to emerge, causing significant interference.

...

Fang Yuxin led her people to the commercial street and took out ten leaf charms. These ten charms were ones she had made the previous night, using spiritual plant leaves from the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, resulting in leaf charms of much stronger potency.

This time, she had created Concealing Talismans. Worn on the body and activated, they could conceal one’s aura, reducing it to a very faint trace, effectively avoiding the attention of zombies.
