Zheng Sheng quickly lowered his head and pressed Xiao Heizi's head down as well, pretending not to know anything.

The people in the group were still chatting and laughing, enjoying the joy of surviving the ordeal, but Zheng Sheng felt the air suddenly turn cold, as if it were five degrees below zero and he was wearing short sleeves, the cold was biting.

Damn it, even the filthy stuff has followed us here, what are you guys laughing about!

Having learned from his previous experience with something strange, Zheng Sheng didn't make a fuss. He simply led Xiao Heizi away from the group of people entangled in black footprints, keeping his distance from them.

beside.

From that day on, Zhang Qing stayed close to Zheng Sheng, trying every now and then to get closer to him and team up with him to search for supplies, but he ignored her.

Zheng Sheng and the black dog were originally at the back of the group, so she stayed behind as well.

But just now she suddenly discovered that Zheng Sheng had pushed through the crowd for the first time ever and actually rushed to the front of the line.

"Why did you suddenly run ahead?"

Zhang Qing was a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it and quickly followed.

Zheng Sheng ignored Zhang Qing who was following him. He had already shown Xiao Heizi that there was nothing dirty behind the woman.

And now he's even more troubled by something else.

The team was suddenly targeted by an unknown and eerie entity, and it seemed that no one noticed, except for Xiao Heizi, who possessed the bloodline to suppress evil.

This also means that the team is in great danger right now.

He either had to immediately leave the group and go alone, or tell Chen Kun and the other two senior members about the anomaly he had discovered and see if they could find a way to resolve the crisis.

Without hesitation, Zheng Sheng went to the front of the group, found Chen Kun, and the two separated from the group to talk quietly.

Are you sure?

"It's confirmed. It wasn't just one person. At least five people in the group had extra footprints behind them, and those footprints definitely weren't human."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the back of the line and I can point out all five people to you."

After hearing this, Chen Kun grabbed Zheng Sheng's shoulder and quickly shook his head.

"We can't go!"

"If what you're saying is true, then we absolutely cannot go! They've probably already been targeted by the Ghost. If we expose their 'game,' we'll all die together!"

Chen Kun did not doubt Zheng Sheng's words; in fact, he believed them the moment Zheng Sheng said them.

The accident scene was a small dead zone. When he decided to forcibly cross it, he was already mentally prepared that some people in the group would die.

In the end, nothing happened, which was really abnormal!

Chen Kun patted Zheng Sheng on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction.

He was right before; only someone like Zheng Sheng could survive in this dangerous world.

"Don't alert them. Just follow me."

"Once we enter the city, I will divide the team into several groups and have them search for supplies separately."

"Tell me about those five people later."

……

The team continued to move along the road.

The further you go, the denser the houses become, the thinner the fog becomes, and the clearer the visibility becomes.

Upon arriving at the city center of Sanqiao County, supermarkets, shopping malls, food streets, and various restaurants began to appear around the area.

Looking around, various abandoned vehicles have begun to appear on the highways.

Bicycles, electric bikes, motorcycles, three-wheeled electric vehicles for the elderly, electric cars, gasoline-powered cars...

There was even a semi-trailer truck, eight or nine meters long, parked in front of a large shopping mall. Half of the cargo was unloaded, and it was full of toilet paper.

"This looks like the urban commercial district of Sanqiao County. The place we just passed should be the farmers' market..."

Chen Kun led his team along the highway, circling the city center a few times. Looking at the dark commercial district, he finally fixed his gaze on the large shopping mall behind the truck.

"...Since we're all in the same team,...to avoid fighting over supplies, we'd better split up..."

"...And if we split up, we won't be wiped out if we encounter something strange...at least someone will still be able to gather supplies..."

Chen Kun continued.

"...This is just a small county town...supplies are limited...so the search time is one hour...everyone will gather here in one hour..."

"If you encounter anything strange while gathering supplies... just run towards the survival highway... as long as you survive..."

Chen Kun looked at the group and gave Zheng Sheng a wink. With their cooperation, the group was divided into four teams.

A group led by Chen Kun and two others selected more than a dozen young men, including Zheng Sheng. Their goal was to go to the large shopping mall behind them, which was also the largest supermarket in Sanqiao County.

The second group consisted mostly of women and children, and their target was various small supermarkets and roadside restaurants along the highway.

These places are closest to the highway, have the lowest probability of encountering danger, and can escape back to the road to safety immediately if danger occurs.

The other two groups were randomly assigned. Three groups went to the farmers' market in Sanqiao County, while the last group went to another large shopping mall in Sanqiao County.

"Zheng Sheng, you're coming with us."

"Um."

Zheng Sheng nodded, and with Xiao Heizi in tow, followed Chen Kun and the others.

As he entered the shopping mall, he glanced back.

The five people with black footprints on their backs were all "coincidentally" arranged by Chen Kun to be in the last group.

They went to another large shopping mall in Sanqiao County, which was the furthest from the commercial area. These people had probably already been abandoned by Chen Kun.

"The supernatural cannot be killed. When ordinary people encounter the supernatural, they can only run away, and they should run as far away as possible."

"I can't save others, I can only save myself. If one day I'm targeted by something supernatural, I'll leave on my own."

Chen Kun patted Zheng Sheng on the shoulder, his tone heavy.

After observing him for some time, he developed a very good impression of Zheng Sheng, and felt that this person was worth recruiting into his team.

That's why he spoke up to explain, so that Zheng Sheng wouldn't think he was cold-blooded.

Zheng Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.

If he were strong enough to easily fight off the supernatural, he wouldn't mind saving these people.

However, it's clearly not worth risking your life for a few strangers.

Soon a group of people entered the shopping mall, only to find that the situation inside was completely different from what they had imagined.

black!

The entire supermarket was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The group stood in front of the elevator, which seemed to lead to a dark hell as it ascended, making everyone feel uneasy.

"The supermarket is out of power, it's so dark! Could something eerie be going on inside?"

The crowd hesitated, but Chen Kun and his two companions led the way, and only then did the group rush forward.

"Hurry up, everyone! We're already out of the highway area. The eerie creature can sense human presence now; it's probably on its way..."

"We only have one hour to gather supplies, hurry!"
