They used the rotation tactic, while some attacked, the other grabbed the time to recover their powers and tried to maintain their peak condition. The psychological shadow of the mutated zombie still lingered upon them and they had to be prepared to deal with any mutated zombies that might pop out of nowhere. Not to mention the fact that the two mutated zombies had not been killed so they could emerge from some obscure alleyway at any time.

The nightmarish rustling sound was something they feared and would never want to hear again in their lifetime.

As Zhang XiaoBai released the lightning strike, he took the time to comment: “I always feel a little unsettled without Gu Ning.”

Jia DaoZhang nodded his head to show that he felt the same way too. Ever since he had guessed that Gu Ning was the one who answered to his divination, he had developed a great sense of trust in Gu Ning. No matter how dangerous the situation was, as soon as he turned his head and saw Gu Ning there, he would have a boost in confidence in his heart. Now that Gu Ning was suddenly gone, although they seem quite strong, yet they felt insecure in their minds.

The others also felt more or less the same way, they didn’t feel it when Gu Ning was around but now that she’s no longer here with them, they always feel a little uncertain of themselves. Also, they all knew very well that the fact that there were no casualties in such a thrilling battle in the morning was greatly due to Gu Ning’s several decisive commands. Including later on when she took the risk to deal a heavy blow to the mutated zombie, which directly turned the whole situation around.

If previously they had only regarded Gu Ning as a companion, a friend, then now they had developed a feeling of admiration and worship for her, while vaguely treating her as their spiritual leader.

Without any incident, the team rushed to the nearest chain of supermarkets in the Eleventh Square. All the zombies around the area had been cleared out relatively well, and with Xiang Xu as their mobile radar, they managed to get into the supermarket at ease.

The door of the supermarket was wide open and there were signs of a raid inside, the cash register drawer had been forced open and only some changes and coins were left. These should be the work of those who thought the disaster would pass quickly at the start of the apocalypse. The items on the shelves were all messed up but there were still a lot of supplies left behind, mostly food and drink.

Zhang XiaoBai was the first to rush to the fridge and opened the door to grab a bottle of Coke. He opened it and took a few big gulps and then let out a sigh of satisfaction. The familiar scent rushed to his nostrils and Zhang XiaoBai was practically moved to tears as he hugged the bottle of Coke.

Brother San glanced over and commented: “Don’t take any of the water items, we now have Zhong Xu which was equivalent to the drinkable water supply. Try to bring as much food as possible, that is what can save your life.” Then calmly swept all the cigarettes on the cigarette rack behind the cashier into the backpack before being accused by Zhang XiaoBai: “So, why are you wasting the space in your backpack with so many cigarettes, Brother San?!”

With a glare, Brother San replied with a straight face: “Don’t you know I’ll die without my cigarette?!”

Zhang XiaoBai was speechless.

Zhong Xu asked anxiously as he swept all the food from the shelves into his large bag: “Brother San, this doesn’t work, there’s so much stuff here, how much can we fit in such a few bags! We came here with so much difficulty and only brought back such a small amount of stuff after all the effort, it’s not worthy right?”

Zhong Xu’s words drew acknowledgment from everyone.

Brother San lit his cigarette at some point and then questioned: “What could we do? We didn’t drive our truck over.”

At this time, Jia DaoZhang interjected: “XiaoBai, why don’t you come out with me to find a car.”

Zhang XiaoBai was stunned: “Huh?”

Jia DaoZhang coughed dryly and replied: “When I was young, I’ve learned this skill, let’s go, let’s go together. What if I run into a horde of zombies by myself?”

With that, he dragged Zhang XiaoBai out with him.

Brother San eyed Jia DaoZhang suspiciously then said to the crowd in the supermarket: “What are you all looking at, hurry up and go finish the raid and we will go to the next one.”

When they walked out of the supermarket, Jia DaoZhang had also gotten the car.

They were all stunned when they saw the large cargo truck parked in front of the supermarket.

Zhong Xu exclaimed: “DaoZhang, you’re so awesome!”

Brother San also chimed in with the praises: “I can’t believe it, Lao Jia, you really have some skills!”

“Heh heh! Just a shoddy skill.” While Jia DaoZhang said this, his expression was smug, obviously very pleased with the crowds’ impressed look.

Brother San laughed heartily and then they all loaded all their bags into the rear compartment. This was a very large cargo truck and had a big capacity that could fit several more mini-markets like this one. Zhang XiaoBai was the happiest one, loading all the coke onto the truck and very thoughtfully loading all the yogurt for Xiang Xu.

After getting into the passenger seat, Brother San said to Jia DaoZhang: “Lao Jia, about two hundred metres further down, there’s a Haining department store with a huge supermarket on the ground floor! It’s got everything, so let’s go there and bring back all at once, then head back.”

While starting the truck, Jia DaoZhang said discontentedly: “Lao San, didn’t we agree on not to call me Lao Jia anymore? You’re making everyone follow you with this name-calling.”

Brother San replied after taking in a fierce puff of his cigarette: “Come on, we don’t even know if you are a real Daoist master or not. Let’s go then!”

Jia DaoZhang couldn’t do anything about this Brother San. If it were anyone else, he would have frozen that person into an ice sculpture by now.

The truck drove for a short distance and sure enough, just as Brother San had said, there was a big Haining department store up ahead.

After clearing the surrounding zombies.

Brother San left Zhong Xu and Zhang XiaoBai in charge of keeping watch while the others rushed in like hungry wolves while dragging the large bags.

The ground floor was a supermarket. Xiang Xu first used her spiritual power to check it out, and after locating all the places with zombies were cleared out, they began a frantic sweeping raid.

While constantly sweeping various kinds of biscuits and bread from the shelves into the large bag, Jia DaoZhang shouted excitedly: “Crap crap crap! We’re going get rich!”

The others had the smiles like farmers after having a good harvest.

Cheng Ming’s smile was almost widening till it reaches his ears: “This time we’ll have enough supplies to feed us for a year!”

Zhang Yang smiled nervously as he quickly put all kinds of biscuits into his bag: “I used to dream about what we’re doing now! I never thought it would come true today!”

All the soldiers let out happy laughter.

A soldier took the time to shout out: “Hey? Where’s Brother San?”

Jia DaoZhang replied: “Where could he be? Must be looking for cigarettes again.”

Just as Jia DaoZhang said, Brother San had just reached the counter that sold cigarettes.

He was frantically sweeping and shouting like a madman: “I have enough cigarette to smoke for a year! I don’t have to smoke a cigarette for three days anymore! F*ck! I’ve never even smoked this cigarette before, it’s f*cking expensive! Hahahahahahaha now it’s all mine!” A few soldiers who were around his area glanced at the manic Brother San and shook their heads before silently walking away.

The meats in the freezer were all completely spoiled and the area was emitting the stinkiness from the rotten meat. However, it was completely normal for them now, and Jia DaoZhang who stared at the rotten meat in the freezer and said with great regret: “It’s a pity, such a pity.”

Brother San hauled his big bag of cigarettes, gathered everyone, and said: “Let’s move all this stuff out first, and then we’ll go to the upper floors later to look at the clothes and quilts items.”

Thus, the group of them dragged all their bulging bags and prepared to send these things out first and then return.

The few of them were still a few steps away from the door when a humanoid object flew in through the gate —— It fell to the ground with a loud thud and slid on the smooth tiles for a while before hitting Cheng Ming’s foot.

The man covered his chest and doubled over in pain.

Cheng Ming’s shocked voice rang out: “Zhong Xu?!”

The man who flew in through the doorway and fell to the ground was Zhong Xu who was keeping watch outside!

“What’s going on?” Cheng Ming and the others asked in shock after helping Zhong Xu up from the ground.

Before Zhong Xu could answer, another man flew in through the door and slammed on the other side, it was Zhang XiaoBai who had also been staying guard outside! There was a bloody hole in his stomach and was bleeding! Zhang XiaoBai was a mutated thunder ability and had a huge reserve of psychic energy, how could he be injured like this?

Zhang XiaoBai seems slightly better than Zhong Xu, although he was seriously injured, he still managed to get up from the ground on his own. His face was very pale as he covered the bloody hole in his abdomen while staring at the gate and answered :“It’s special abilities users——“

Zhang XiaoBai was a mutated thunder ability user and had a huge reserve of psychic energy, what kind of special ability user could injure him like this?!

Before Zhang XiaoBai could finish his sentence, a team of seven people walked in through the door.

A tall man in the front of the group said with a smile after sweeping his gaze over them: “Excuse me, but this place and that truck outside, is ours now.”

The skinny man next to him reminded: “Also the crystal cores.”

The man drifted off for a moment, then continued with a smile: “Right, and all the crystal cores you have on you too, hand them over by the way.”
