Lan Ke's face changed, and she grabbed Bai Ling and quickly retreated. Bai Ling staggered as she was pulled by her, but she didn't ask anything and followed Lan Ke to retreat.
Almost at the moment when the two men stepped back, the sliding door of the convenience store was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and two aliens rushed out one after another.
They were still wearing gas station uniforms, and were obviously gas station employees. But whoever they were, they had now become man-eating monsters.
Bai Hu and Qian Sheng rushed forward without having time to be surprised and tried their best to deal with the alien.
Bai Ling looked at Lan Ke in shock: "Sister Lan, what should we do now? Do you want to go over and help?"
"Wait and see." Lan Ke looked at the actions of Bai Hu and Qian Sheng and quickly saw the problem.
Bai Hu's weapon was an axe with a long wooden handle for easy use. Every time the axe hit an alien species, it would make a "hissing" sound and even have a faint smell of burning, obviously the axe was very hot.
Qian Sheng's weapon is a sharpened iron rod, which makes a whirring sound when he swings it, and a loud crashing sound is made when it hits the alien species.
Bai Ling had just awakened, so she might not be able to see the abnormality inside, but Lan Ke saw it at a glance—Bai Hu and Qian Sheng were both superpowers! Bai Hu's awakening should be the fire power, while Qian Sheng's was the strengthening power, and it was a strength strengthening!
"Don't worry, they can handle it." Lan Ke pulled Bai Ling aside to avoid affecting the performance of the two.
As expected, Bai Hu and Qian Sheng quickly dealt with the two aliens. However, they had only awakened for a short time, and after dealing with the two aliens, they were exhausted and panting.
Lan Ke walked over quickly and looked at the aliens on the ground with cold eyes. One of the two aliens had its body torn apart, and the other had its head pierced by an iron rod. There were also many scars on its body, which looked shocking.
Lan Ke noticed that the chest areas of the two alien species were still intact and did not appear to have been damaged.
"Don't look at it, or you'll get scared." Qian Sheng said deliberately, somewhat surprised that Lan Ke dared to get close to him.
Bai Hu also looked at Lan Ke in surprise and said, "The situation inside the convenience store is unclear. I don't know if there are any monsters. You guys wait outside first. We'll call you after we go in and take a look."
Lan Ke looked at him deeply. She had listened to the conversation between Bai Hu and others before and thought that they were bad people, but she didn't expect that Bai Hu and Qian Sheng were willing to protect them.
It was indeed not convenient for her to take action now, but she was also unwilling to owe them any favors.
So Lan Ke deliberately asked: "Are these two monsters the zombies described in the novel? Do they have crystal cores?"
Qian Sheng laughed out loud: "Hey, have you read too many novels? This is not a zombie at all, it doesn't even look like a crystal core."
Bai Hu was much more honest than him: "We checked, these monsters don't have crystal cores in their brains, it's different from what is written in the novel."
Lan Ke pretended to be curious: "What about the heart? I read in a novel that some monsters have a core in their hearts. Do they have one?"
"How could that be possible?" Qian Sheng said with disdain, "I've already said that novels are all fictional, don't take them seriously."
"In the heart?" Bai Hu glared at Qian Sheng in a warning tone, thinking that he had gone too far. He wanted to please Lan Ke, so he said, "Let me try."
As he spoke, he actually picked up an axe and wanted to cut open the alien's heart.
"Brother, forget it," Qian Sheng couldn't bear to look at it, "It's just a novel, how can you take it seriously?"
He didn't want to fool around with Lan Ke at all.
Bai Hu turned a deaf ear to him and directly split the alien's chest, cut open the heart and reached in to search. Qian Sheng frowned and felt resentful towards Lan Ke, thinking that she was just fooling around!
"Brother, don't take it out. This is not a novel. How can there be any core?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hu suddenly said, "Found it, there really is something!" As he spoke, he pulled out his hand and spread it in front of Lan Ke and Qian Sheng, and they saw a black bead the size of a peanut in his palm.
"Is it true?" Qian Sheng looked at Bai Hu suspiciously, "Brother, you didn't just find a random bead to pretend to be him, did you?"
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Bai Hu wiped his bloody hands on the alien's clothes, and wiped the alien's heart core as well, then presented it to Lan Ke like a treasure. "It seems you are right, there is really something growing in the hearts of these monsters, it's this, it's icy cold, like a gem, but I don't know what it's used for."
Lan Ke continued to play the naive role: "So there really is one. Since it's your trophy, just keep it. You'll know what it can do in the future."
Bai Hu was so excited that he couldn't help asking, "Do you want it? I'll give it to you!"
"No need, it's too precious." What Lan Ke didn't say was that she had already collected several of these things, and Douya helped her collect them. They were all clean and much better than Bai Hu's method.
Bai Hu was a little disappointed that he didn't give a gift, but he was more satisfied with Lan Ke. He never liked women who relied on their beauty to get whatever men wanted. He liked Lan Ke more when she refused to accept the gift.
"It turns out there really is one!" Qian Sheng took out another alien heart core and looked at Lan Ke with complicated eyes, "It seems like you really guessed it right."
Qian Sheng felt a little embarrassed. He had just ridiculed Lan Ke, but who knew that Lan Ke actually guessed it right? It was such a slap in his face!
Qian Sheng also wiped his hands and heart core with the alien's clothes, and then carefully put the heart core away. He had also read apocalyptic novels, and since this heart core grew from the heart of a monster, it must be very useful, and it might even become hard currency in the future, so he had to keep it well!
Lan Ke returned the favor and ignored Bai Hu and Qian Sheng, instead looking at the convenience store ahead with vigilance. Several minutes had passed since the two aliens rushed out, and there was no movement in the convenience store, so it didn't look like there was any danger.
Lan Ke pricked up his ears and listened, but there was no sound inside.
At this time, Bai Hu and Qian Sheng also came to their senses and rushed into the convenience store. Lan Ke and Bai Ling followed behind and went in.
The convenience store is not very big, but the shelves are filled to the brim and the aisles are very narrow, giving people a feeling of being crowded and cramped.
Lan Ke frowned, she smelled the smell of a corpse.
Bai Ling quickly pulled off the large plastic bag on the cashier's counter and stuffed it directly into Lan Ke's hand: "Sister Lan, here you go!"
She knew that there were outsiders here, so Lan Ke couldn't expose the space, so she could only use plastic bags to pack things. Lan Ke nodded, ignored the body on the ground, and started packing things in the plastic bag: "Hurry up, pack as much as you can, and take as much as you can."
Bai Ling nodded knowingly. This is a special period and food must not be wasted!
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside: "Ah! Help!"
