BXBX NOVEL 278 Chapter 172
In a corner of the city, Xinfu supermarket.
“Pa la...”
A faint sound came from the interior of this quiet building. Three figures were walking quietly inside.
They carefully took the items on the shelves and put them into their backpacks to ensure that the mutated creatures nearby would not be alarmed.
In a month’s time, all the vegetables in the fresh vegetable section had completely rotted and were covered with moths. They were not edible at all.
Only canned food, rice, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, bacon, and other items that could be preserved for a long time could still be eaten.
“Eh...”
A soft sigh came from the leader’s mouth. He put the last bag of dried shiitake mushrooms into the huge backpack.
Looking at the empty shelves, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“There aren’t many supplies left in the supermarket. We have to change to a new location.”
Behind him, a short-haired woman in sportswear comforted him in a low voice, “There’s no choice, brother Chen. After all, there are nearly fifty people waiting for our supplies in the camp. The supplies in the supermarket naturally won’t be enough for us to eat for long.”
“That’s true. Fortunately, I brought those fresh vegetables back at the very beginning. Otherwise, I’m afraid this supermarket wouldn’t be able to support our daily needs for ten days.”
The last tall young man also spoke, “Brother is kind and considerate. He has been searching for us everywhere. If not for brother’s suggestion to go out and search for supplies earlier, we would have starved to death in that camp.”
Saying this, he suddenly changed his tone and spoke in an extremely disgusted tone.
“But at this point, that group of cowardly and cowardly fellows who opened their mouths for food are still not satisfied with this. They even complain that Big Brother didn’t bring enough things back.”
After pausing for a moment, the tall man raised his right hand and formed the shape of a blade as he spoke fiercely.
“If you ask me, I think we should really bring out those guys who are the loudest and behead them in front of them. We should make an example of them and let them know who is the one who guaranteed their daily food resources.”
Looking at the tall man behind him who was gradually filled with killing intent, the man surnamed Chen hurriedly patted the other party’s shoulder to wake him up from this state.
Little Wang was good at everything. He listened to orders seriously, and his combat strength was not bad. He also treated his own team members gently.
However, when facing ordinary survivors, the killing intent on his body was still too strong.
“Little Wang, it’s not like the members of their camp didn’t put in some effort. They wash clothes, cook food, and research and grow vegetables every day. Oh right, I heard from Old Li that they seem to have found vegetables that can be grown.”
Hearing this, the tall youth seemed to have calmed down a little, but he still spoke unwillingly.
“Big Brother, I admit that the members of Old Li’s group have truly given their all for our camp. However, there are always some guys who are lazy and have nothing to do all day. They have nothing to do but wait for the food that we give them.”
The female members also had deep feelings towards these words.
“On this point, Wang Jian is right. If it weren’t for the fact that we are all humans, I would have chased them out.”
The conversation between the two caused the actual deputy leader of the camp, Chen Hu, to sink into deep thought. It was as if he had been busy building the camp and searching for resources all day long and had neglected the phenomenon that appeared within the camp.
Where there were people, there would be jianghu. This saying was right.
Even the camp with just over fifty people was divided into several factions, including the members of the expedition faction led by Chen Hu.
As they controlled the resources and income of the camp, most of the members had high status.
Only the leader, Chen Hu, still maintained an equal attitude towards everyone.
“Ta, ta, ta.”
Suddenly, just as Chen Hu was thinking about the matters of the camp, the sound of footsteps came from outside the supermarket.
Having lived here for a long time, they knew that this was the sound of mutated creatures nearby.
The few of them quickly kept quiet and no longer spoke. They bent their bodies and approached the window to take a look at the scene outside.
A group of four wolves and a human figure in the middle were reflected in the supermarket. Chen Hu and the others saw them.
The huge wolf’s front claws were extremely sharp. Its four limbs were filled with muscles, and it was extremely explosive. Its entire body was emitting a powerful pressure. This caused the few of them to feel as if they were trapped in an ice cave, their bodies were frozen, unable to move.
After a long time, when the four huge wolves were far away, their hearts began to beat slowly. Blood was sent to their bodies, allowing the three of them to regain their mobility.
“Ha... ha...”
The endurance of the woman in the sportswear was the worst of the three. She knelt on the ground and panted slowly. Sweat continuously flowed from her forehead and dripped onto the floor.
Although the man named Wang Jian was not as careless as the woman, his face was still pale. His eyes were wide open, as if he had encountered some kind of shock, and he remained silent.
The leader of the three, Chen Hu, had studied ancient martial arts for a few years before the mutation happened, so he could barely withstand the aftermath of the pressure.
He said in a low and trembling voice, his tone full of shock.
“Terrifying... too terrifying... even though I’ve seen hundreds and thousands of mutated creatures in a month, I’ve never encountered such a pressuring creature. The strength of these four giant wolves might be even more powerful than that golden leopard.”
