Chapter 50 Successful Supply Resupply
"Lu Xiaoyuan, you're something else!" Pei Sihao glanced back at the destroyed ice cream shop. "What kind of explosives did you use? The blast radius was so small, yet the power was so great?"
Actually, they hadn't run very far when the bomb exploded, but the shockwave barely affected them; they only felt a wave of heat.
"I don't know either," Lu Yuan replied as he ran after them. "I just grabbed one at random."
"There must have been forty or fifty of them blown up!" Qin Yuan and Lin Yun covered the rear, and he glanced back.
In just one glance, he saw a bloody mess emerge from the ice cream shop. It was the zombie in the suit; it too had been injured in the explosion but hadn't died. Its once-clean suit was now covered in the blood and flesh of its kind.
The zombie in the suit quickly locked onto the direction of the seven of them, stretched its limbs, and leaped forward in one big step. It moved very fast and caught up with Lu Yuan and the others in no time.
Lu Yuan and the others were running in a six-pointed star formation when the zombie in the suit reached Lu Yuan's side in just a few seconds, looking at him through Zhong Qiang on his right. Zhong Qiang next to Lu Yuan was almost scared to death. This zombie in the suit was now covered in blood and gore, almost face to face with him, grinning and making "hehe" sounds.
Lu Yuan knew that the zombie must have seen the small gift he had given it, and now it was determined to take revenge. For the first time, he felt that his reaction was so fast. He quickly raised his left hand, which was wrapped with a hidden dagger, aimed at the head of the zombie in the suit, and with two quick snaps, the two hidden daggers were launched and pierced into the head of the zombie in the suit.
Perhaps the hidden blades weren't strong enough, or perhaps Lu Yuan's technique was incorrect. The two hidden blades barely pierced the head of the zombie in the suit, without deeply damaging its brain, but they still knocked it back a few steps, relieving Zhong Qiang's pressure.
Knowing the warehouse password, Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao ran ahead, and led the group to the warehouse door. Since the warehouse could not be opened remotely, Gu Nanfeng had to manually enter the password.
The zombie in the suit was stabbed twice by Lu Yuan's hidden sword. As it roared and charged again, Gu Nanfeng had already opened the warehouse door. Several people filed in and then quickly pushed the warehouse door shut, keeping the zombie in the suit out of the warehouse.
"I was careless!" Lu Yuan let out a long breath and raised the hidden sword strapped to his left wrist. "I didn't expect this little thing to be so easy to use, like a tickle."
"Thank goodness you brought it. Otherwise, with your accuracy, you wouldn't have been able to hit it with a crossbow at all." Seeing the critical situation, Yang Xiao, who was running to Lu Yuan's left, also fired a crossbow bolt, but he missed.
The zombie in a suit was still banging on the warehouse door, but the warehouse door was not on the same level as the ice cream shop door. If Lu Yuan and his group did not want to go out, even if they used bombs, it would be difficult to blow the door open.
The group rested against the shelves for a while. Lu Yuan replenished the hidden sword on his left wrist. Although its attack power was not high, it was indeed as Yang Xiao said. Without this thing, at least one of him and Zhong Qiang would have died.
"I didn't expect the second-generation zombie to be so vengeful." It took Zhong Qiang a while to recover. He had thought he was going to die, but the zombie in the suit completely ignored him and stared straight at Lu Yuan.
"It holds a grudge like that, Lu Xiaoyuan will be in danger on our way back later," Yang Xiao said with a sigh.
"We have to find a way to kill it." Gu Nanfeng said calmly, which startled Pei Sihao, who had grown up with him. He could see the anger in Gu Nanfeng's eyes. If Gu Nanfeng hadn't been running on the left, he probably would have rushed over to protect Lu Yuan without hesitation.
“Xiao Gu is right,” Lin Yun stood up and looked out through the small ventilation window of the warehouse. The zombie in the suit was gone, probably because he had gone back to make arrangements. “This zombie is a second-generation zombie. It’s intelligent and holds grudges. If we don’t kill it, we won’t be safe even if we stay in the hotel room afterward.”
After resting for a while, Lu Yuan began to ransack the convenience store warehouse, storing all the food, drinks, and household items into his spatial storage. However, the warehouse was very large, and even though he packed quickly, it still took him more than two hours.
At noon, the group got together and ate a quick hot pot they had taken from the warehouse. Each of them also had a sausage and a braised egg. It was the best lunch they had eaten while they were out on missions.
There's a direct door between the convenience store warehouse and the themed store warehouse, so they don't have to go out from one side and then into the other, which is much more convenient.
Then, Lu Yuan spent another two hours collecting and tidying up, putting everything from the theme store into his space, making sure nothing was left out, even though he really didn't know what some of the items were for.
After looting the two warehouses, they sat down to wait for Lu Yuan to rest. Gu Nanfeng suggested that they not go to the hotel's kitchen warehouse, since food had not yet been delivered and there should be nothing there. Moreover, the zombies in the hotel could basically roam everywhere except the sixth floor, so going to the kitchen warehouse would not be very profitable and would be very dangerous.
Qin Yuan and the others agreed with Gu Nanfeng's opinion. After all, they had already cleared out the convenience store's warehouse, so they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for a long time.
"Do you have a plan for going back?" Before they came, they hadn't expected to anger the zombie in the suit, so their original plan was to return the way they came. But now that they had angered this highly intelligent second-generation zombie, the danger of going back had increased considerably.
"Let's go out on a bike." Pei Sihao stood up from next to Lu Yuan. When Gu Nanfeng, Qin Yuan, and Lin Yun were discussing the hotel warehouse, he asked Lu Yuan if there were any smaller vehicles in the space. Unfortunately, there were no four-wheeled vehicles, but there were plenty of two-wheeled ones.
Ten minutes later, the warehouse door opened with a bang, and four motorcycles sped out like lightning. Before the zombie in the suit who was lying in ambush outside and the other zombies he had summoned could react, Lu Yuan and his group had already run away in a flash.
Of course, before running away, Lu Yuan gave them three more cute little gifts. This time, they were thrown by Lu Yuan, Lin Yun, and Pei Sihao, who were on the back of the motorcycle. Two of the three were sharpshooters, and they threw the bombs accurately into the zombie horde.
Three loud bangs rang out, followed by billowing dust and the pungent smell of gunpowder and rotting zombie flesh. Lu Yuan, sitting behind Yang Xiao, looked back. He didn't see the second-generation zombie in the suit, but he instinctively felt that the zombie was still alive.
The seven people arrived safely at the armored vehicle. Lu Yuan quickly retrieved the four motorcycles, then followed everyone onto the armored vehicle. After closing the door, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
