Business Street.
Some footsteps were heard from a distance. A group of sixteen people were walking cautiously on the street. They were carrying some packages on their backs, and it could be vaguely seen that they were all necessities of life.
The leader of this team was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with slightly bald hair at the temples, thick and neat eyebrows, a pair of sparkling eyes, thick fingers and calloused palms. It was obvious that he was engaged in some heavy physical work in peacetime.
Zhang Hongliang.
The camp has recently recruited three professionals. In addition to the elementalist and the one with far pupils, this person is the last one.
When fighting, black thorns like spears can grow on his body, which can be used for both defense and offense, making him a power-type professional.
Before the end of the world, he was an ordinary worker on the construction site with an honest and loyal character. After the end of the world, he awakened his power. Instead of bullying ordinary people like some professionals, he took the initiative to protect his fellow workers from persecution.
Three weeks ago, he was recruited to the camp. Because he awakened and became a professional and had a good reputation, he was directly promoted by Chen Feng to be the leader of the search team.
Search Group.
As the name suggests, it is the job of searching for supplies.
These people wandered through the wasteland, searching for any daily necessities that could be used, including food, toiletries, hardware, and even controlled knives, all of which they wanted to take back.
The search team faces a high risk of injury, but the benefits are good. Chen Feng promised that for every food brought back, the search team members can get a 5% reward.
meat.
For ordinary people, it is already difficult to get access to it, but if you join the search team, you can get 5% of the food you bring every time you go back, which means that you can get some dried meat and sausages every now and then.
Although it is very risky, it has become one of the most popular departments.
… … …
"Found it, Fuyuan Supermarket, the place marked on the notebook is here!" A team member was sharp-eyed and discovered the target this time.
Zhang Hongliang had a solemn expression on his face, his hands clenched, walking in front, his tiger eyes scanning everywhere.
With Liang Jingyao's notebook, the members of the search team did not have to search around like headless flies, but could go directly to the destination without any delay along the way.
"Don't come close yet, wait for me to come over!" Zhang Hongliang strode towards the direction pointed by the member.
Zhang Hongliang is a careful and cautious person. Although he encountered some dangers in the past few weeks, he managed to escape them safely. He played a significant role in this.
"Team leader, keep the supermarket intact!" The man who found the target was pointing inside.
Zhang Hongliang took a look and saw that the supermarket was neatly arranged. It seemed that no one had ever visited it.
"What's going on? The apocalypse has happened for so long, how could this supermarket be so clean?" Zhang Hongliang frowned and expressed his doubts.
Reason told him that there was definitely something strange in this room.
"Hey, maybe everyone nearby has died a long time ago?"
“Team leader, there are all the supplies inside. If you take it back this time, even if it’s 5% of the benefits, the brothers will get it!”
"Yes, team leader. We have been out for most of the day and only found such a small amount. We will not be able to explain it when we go back. If we loot it now, we can definitely complete the mission!"
Everyone was talking at once, obviously bewitched by this supermarket and wanted to go in and search the market so that they could share the benefits!
Zhang Hongliang frowned, feeling vaguely moved. It was noon now and visibility in the supermarket was very high. He could clearly see dozens of unopened cartons of cigarettes on the counter.
Zhang Hongliang doesn't like gambling or eating, but he has a special liking for tobacco. If he takes these cigarettes back, they will be enough for him to smoke for a while.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongliang pursed his lips and shouted, "Zhang Lei, Liang Chen, you stay outside, the rest of you come in with me. You can't act alone in there, three people in a group, and you must be quick!"
"Yes!" these people responded one after another.
Zhang Hongliang led his people into the supermarket. The supermarket was very large, with more than thirty shelves displaying a variety of food and wine.
Once this group of people entered, they were like wolves entering a sheep's den. Each of them pushed a cart and began to place supplies on it.
Zhang Hongliang was a little selfish, so he brought some people to the counter, took out the cigarettes, and placed them all on the cart.
“Huh!”
These cigarettes are not cheap. The most expensive one is priced at 2,400 yuan per pack. For Zhang Hongliang, if it were in the past, he might never have been able to get access to these cigarettes in his lifetime.
Zhang Hongliang was so excited that he wanted to light one right away, but the search team had a clear rule that anyone who hides or steals the cigarettes during the search would be severely punished.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongliang's smoking addiction dissipated a lot. He thought to himself, I will hold on a little longer and go back to smoke.
"Team leader, we have run out of cigarettes. What else should we take now?" After several team members finished packing everything, they asked Zhang Hongliang.
"take… "
Zhang Hongliang was about to speak when his brows suddenly tightened.
"Why is there no sound?"
More than a dozen people came in, all shouting and yelling. Even if they didn't talk, there should have been the sound of a cart being pushed, right
But now, the entire supermarket was extremely silent, as if there was no one else except these few people!
"Yue Chao, Jianyun, Xiaofang..." Zhang Hongliang called out several names in succession, but there was no response at all.
"Go out first!" Zhang Hongliang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling and tried to go out first and then look for the remaining people.
The others also felt something was wrong, their faces turned pale, and they followed behind and were about to go out.
"call!"
Suddenly, the entire supermarket became completely dark, as if night had fallen, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you!
What a joke!
It's noon outside, how could it be so dark
At the same time, it was quiet outside. The two people that Zhang Hongliang had left behind to keep watch had long since disappeared.
The outside and the inside of the house have now become two complete worlds. The sun is shining brightly, but the house is pitch black, blocking out vision and hearing, and no one has any idea what is happening inside.
"Bang!"
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the supermarket suddenly opened and a figure covered in blood fell to the ground.
It’s Zhang Hongliang!
His body was covered with black spikes, which was his ability. When he was fighting, long spikes would appear on his body. But now, all these spikes were broken by the strange force and then stuck in his body. His abdomen, chest, and even shoulders were full of scarlet blood holes.
Zhang Hongliang's eyes were wide open, and there was no color in them. He was already dead. Just now, he used his last breath to rush out and try to escape, but his injuries were too severe and he died at the door of the supermarket.
“Puff!”
At this moment, an iron hook directly caught Zhang Hongliang's body, and just like dragging a dead dog, it dragged him back into the darkness little by little...
It has come to this.
Apart from a pool of blood on the ground, there was no movement around, as if those people had never appeared...
