Chapter 499: 275 What sound? (First update)

There were thirty people charging out, all wielding weapons, whether spears, machetes, or a piece of steel sharpened to a point. Besides them, another twenty individuals stood not far away, holding bows and arrows!

At that moment, the arrows were nocked, and the bowstrings were fully drawn, the arrowheads reflecting a chilling cold light in the sunlight, aiming directly at them.

These people, both men and women, aged between twenty and forty, were in the prime of their physical abilities. Moreover, they were all superpower users.

The leader was a man who appeared to be around thirty, with a shrewd look. From the energy fluctuations emanating from his body, he was a second-level Enhanced Superpower User.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were naturally not afraid of them. However, these people weren’t zombies. They wouldn’t just let themselves be killed foolishly. Additionally, there were two cars following them. Those two cars, having great defensive capabilities unlike her own, carried people who were no match for these assailants.

Fang Yuxin had taken a careful look at the weapons in their hands. Whether it was spears, machetes, or arrows, they had all been specially processed by Gold Element Superpower Users, making them sharper and more durable than typical weapons with increased destructive power!

This was the first time Fang Yuxin had seen such weapons in others’ hands. She instinctively felt that the person behind these men was no ordinary individual. Besides, bows were rarely used as weapons in modern times, mainly featured in sports or as a hobby.

Using a bow as a weapon required high physical strength and good accuracy. The stronger the arms, the stronger the bow, and the more destructive the arrows released.

Currently, the biggest enemy of humanity was the zombies, not humans themselves. Although these people had surrounded them, they hadn’t outright attacked them, not appearing to be the type to wreak havoc. Their bows weren’t just for show or merely to intimidate; they were actual weapons of violence!

Fang Yuxin quietly released her Spiritual Sense to perceive and discovered that these people wielding bows must all be Enhanced Superpower Users, which explained their ability to use such weapons.

In the absence of guns, if used skillfully, bows could be valuable for long-range attack. Moreover, the current situation was one where bullets were increasingly scarce; almost all arms factories had shut down after the apocalypse, making bullet production impossible, depleting the available ammunition.

Moreover, ordinary people couldn’t easily access many guns. Even if they got some, the bullets remained a challenge.

Fang Yuxin didn’t know who the man behind these people was, but his idea to use Enhanced Superpower Users as archers and have Gold Element Superpower Users modify weapons was enough to catch her attention.

If there were a chance, she would actually like to meet this person. Unfortunately, she was currently en route to Beishi City and didn’t have the luxury of time.

Fang Yuxin glanced at Bai Ye, and with just one look, Bai Ye instantly understood her intentions, deliberately exuding his aura.

The group encircling them, already somewhat annoyed from their refusal to exit the vehicle, was on the verge of fury but then suddenly sensed a menacing air emanating from inside the car!

This aura mixed with endless sharpness gave them the illusion of their bodies being sliced by blades! Everyone’s expression changed in an instant, and the leader’s eyes flickered, his demeanor immediately shifting, "I didn’t know who was inside the vehicle, my apologies for the intrusion, please excuse our actions."

He paused, then waited quietly for a response from inside the vehicle.

Fang Yuxin didn’t speak. Bai Ye deliberately used a cold voice and inquired, "Who are you people? Why are you blocking the way? Surely you aren’t trying to play king of the mountain, are you?"

The leader instinctively denied it, "Of course not, it’s a misunderstanding! A dangerous person escaped our Safe Zone, and we were chasing them here. We set this trap to catch them, but alas, we ensnared the wrong person."

Bai Ye was disdainful of his explanation. He was no fool and could see through their real intentions! Even though there weren’t many of them and they seemed not intent on harming anyone, his contempt for them didn’t reach the point of killing them outright.

He let out a disparaging snort, curiously asking, "If you are catching someone, how do you know I’m not the one you’re after?"

The leader immediately replied, "I’ve heard that person’s voice before, and it’s definitely not yours, my friend. Besides, although he is dangerous and quite strong, he is far lesser compared to you. Regardless, we were indeed at fault here. If you don’t mind, please come back with me to the Base. I will host a banquet to properly make amends."
