Still hoarding supplies in the apocalypse? I'll just go on a killing spree and looting!

Lin You didn't give it that chance. The moment her right hand slashed down with the mantis blade, the serrated edge cut into the gap in the beast's shoulder blade, cleaving from the back of its neck to its chest.

A dull, tearing sound.

The blade grazed the bones of the shoulder blade, countless scales shattered, and the tough tendons were severed by the serrations.

Just like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, he starts by cutting into the most vulnerable part.

Effortless yet deadly.

The beast's head was tilted to one side, its gills wide open, and dark green blood spurted out, splashing onto both sides of the passage.

The black-backed wolf twitched twice and then stopped moving.

At the same time, a gunshot rang out from the direction of the warehouse.

Second tone.

Third tone.

The muffled thud of shotguns and the exploding sound of Molotov cocktails mingled together, followed by the painful howls of the beasts and the loud crash of shelves collapsing.

Lin You had already turned towards the warehouse, but before she could take a step, the strange beast rushed out of the warehouse.

It was a size larger than the one in the passage, with prominent shoulder blades and dark gray patterns on its scales.

This is a black-backed wolf beast that is about to advance to the next level.

Its left shoulder was hit by a shotgun bullet, its scales burst open, and dark green blood flowed down its forelimbs, but its speed did not decrease at all.

It crashed into a row of shelves, its claws scraping against the overturned shelves with a harsh metallic sound, and pounced straight at Team Leader Song.

Team Leader Song dodged the claw's frontal attack by sidestepping, leaned against the wall, and fired three shots with his pistol.

All three bullets struck the beast's leg joints, causing its front legs to bend and its body to tilt.

Then Mu Xue's shotgun fired again.

A large hail of bullets struck the beast's head, exploding into a spray of green blood in front of its eyes.

The beast roared and shook its head, its sharp claws tearing wildly through the air, shattering the tiles on the wall.

If Song, who was leaning against the wall, hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been cut in half by the yawn.

The battle was intense from the very beginning, a life-or-death struggle.

Mu Xue immediately pulled the trigger, and two more shots rang out. This time, the black-backed wolf did not take the hit head-on, but nimbly dodged the shotgun shells aimed at it.

It wasn't that the black-backed wolf was incredibly fast, but rather that it knew how quickly it could move.

That stick-like thing can only attack in a straight line.

As long as you're not pointed at by a dark gun barrel, you won't get hurt.

Mu Xue's face was extremely pale. She still had two bullets left in her shotgun and had to think of a solution.

Just then, Mu Xue saw Lin You appear on the opposite side.

A cunning look immediately appeared in his eyes.

With a loud "boom".

The shot ripped through a large section of tiles on the wall, forcing the Blackback Wolf to dodge and dodge to the other side.

Just then.

Lin You charged out of the passage, her left hand wielding a mantis knife that pierced the back of the beast's hind leg, severing the tendon.

The beast's hind legs buckled, and its entire body fell backward.

Its head was tilted back, exposing its throat.

Team Leader Song was a ruthless man. He got up from the ground at an angle, pressed his pistol against the beast's jaw, and fired the last few bullets from the magazine.

The beast's head jerked violently, dark green blood dripping from its chin, before its entire body crashed to the ground and lay still.

Lin You's mantis knife, which she had raised high, froze for a moment.

Unexpectedly, before he could even make a real move, the Blackback Wolf Beast had already been killed.

It has to be said that this time Lin You was truly impressed.

The warehouse fell silent.

Team Leader Song leaned against the wall, panting. An empty magazine slid out of his pistol and fell to the ground with a clatter.

His fingers were still trembling, not from fear, but from the physiological reaction after the adrenaline receded.

Mu Xue had already begun loading the shotgun shells, the "click-click" sound was very rhythmic.

The shotgun muzzle swept back and forth across the warehouse entrance twice to confirm there was no third one.

Lin You said to Mu Xue, who had performed well, "Don't use your face to probe; that's irresponsible towards life."

He then took a tear gas canister from his waist, threw it into the warehouse, and closed the door.

Armed police officers in the food and daily necessities sections in the distance heard gunshots and hissing.

But no one left their posts without permission. Team Leader Song had previously ordered everyone to guard their looting areas and wait for his or Lin You's signal.

After all, the last time they went upstairs without permission, one of their teammates was seriously injured and almost died.

Here at the warehouse.

Lin You stood behind the door, listening intently.

Soon, strange whimpering sounds came from the warehouse, it seemed...

Lin You pushed open the warehouse door, and five small black dogs staggered toward the warehouse entrance.

Lin You's face lit up with joy, and she immediately bent down.

He grabbed a cardboard box, dumped its contents out carelessly, and scooped it up from the ground.

Five wolf cubs were knocked into the cardboard box.

Lin You looked at the whimpering wolf cub and her face lit up with a smile.

Mu Xue looked at the five wolf cubs, her face showing a mixture of wanting to touch them and being afraid of being bitten.

It must be said that the cubs of the black-backed wolf are indeed adorable.

They're just like little puppies, except they don't have soft fur, but they're still adorable and cute.

"Can this thing be kept as a pet?"

"Wolves are similar to dogs; they are actually good hunting companions."

Seeing Team Leader Song staggering towards them, Lin You immediately closed the cardboard box; the bodies of their mother and father lay on the ground.

If these wolf cubs see this, then these five wolf cubs will never be tamed.

"Don't put it in the spatial storage; you can't store living things there. Put it in our car later." He whispered the instructions to Mu Xue.

Lin You looked at Team Leader Song, who was approaching, and said, "Check the supplies. Medicines first. We'll depart in fifteen minutes." She then wiped the blood off her knife.

He crouched down and placed his hand on the skull of the strange beast in the passage.

Decomposition confirmed.

The corpse began to decompose from the wounds, and green light spots began to emanate from the black-backed wolf beast.

A swarm of fireflies formed in mid-air.

Light spots surrounded the scales, tendons, and hooked claws, transforming layer by layer into light spots that flew into the material library.

Obtained: 12 Beast Scales, 4 Beast Tendons, 16 Beast Hook Bones, 1 Beast Marrow Fluid.

Mu Xue has already started loading the goods.

She carried boxes of canned food from the food section onto a trolley in a rather elaborate manner. The trolley had been salvaged from the warehouse; the wheels were a bit stiff, but still usable.

But in places unseen by others, large swaths of food and water rapidly disappeared into the Twilight Snow Seedlings.

The cosmetics section.

Armed police officers were packing toilet paper, disinfectant, toothpaste, and toothbrushes into cardboard boxes, their actions no different from those of a supermarket panic-buying spree, except no one was speaking.

Team Leader Song picked up the empty magazine from the ground, wiped off the bloodstains, and stuffed it back into his tactical vest.

He didn't say anything, he just looked at Lin You with curiosity.

After all, that huge beast just now turned into specks of light and disappeared in an instant.

He knew about this.

He was the only survivor of the night they chased Lin You, and he said that Lin You could turn monsters into specks of light.

But he didn't believe it.

But now... he has no choice but to believe it.

Team Leader Song paused for a second and nodded as he passed by Lin You.

Lin You only responded calmly, without offering any explanation.

She didn't need to explain; if the other party wanted to know something, they would naturally ask her. If they didn't ask, Lin You was too lazy to answer.

This kind of thing simply cannot be hidden, nor can it be completely concealed.

Concealing information is an insult to trust.

If you want to turn a seasoned detective like Team Leader Song into your partner, you have to put everything on the table and at least let Team Leader Song see your sincerity.

It is absolutely impossible to hide, and it is also highly unlikely that it can be hidden.

The two black-backed wolf carcasses did not yield any equipment like the mantis knife or the finger bone dagger, only materials.

After thinking for a moment, Lin You went upstairs to the second floor.

The pharmacy is on the left side of the escalator entrance, but it looks dark and worthless now.

We arrived at the place where the cypress tree had been burned down.

The place was a dark expanse of ashes, still radiating residual heat.

After poking around in the ashes with the mantis knife for a while, a red-veined stone radiating intense heat appeared in the ashes.

Lin You glanced around and picked up the stone.

A series of prompts immediately appeared on the retina: Seeds of mutated plants detected, decompose?

Can the seeds of mutant plants also be decomposed?

What can this thing be broken down into?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin You did not choose to break it down, but instead went to the first floor, found a lunchbox, and put it in.

At the entrance of the supermarket, supplies had been piled up into a small mountain.

Canned food, bottled water, toilet paper, and disinfectant were neatly stacked in several cardboard boxes.

The armed police officers were loading boxes onto the truck, working in pairs, one box after another, at a steady pace.

Team Leader Song stood next to the truck, checking the supplies list item by item.

Mu Xue pushed the last batch of cardboard boxes out of the warehouse, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and an undisguised joy on her face.

She saw Lin You holding a lunchbox and her lips twitched slightly.

Lin You smiled and nodded, everything understood without words.

Team Leader Song glanced at the list and quickly calculated in his mind. "The various drinks combined are enough for two or three months, but the food is not much, enough to last a month. If we gather more survivors, we will need even more supplies."

"As long as we can keep things going for now, how are the other things prepared, such as flashlights, toothpaste, soap, and other daily necessities?"

"There were many, but only a small portion was loaded onto the truck."

"Once we've gathered enough survivors, we'll load them onto the truck."

Team Leader Song understood Lin You's meaning; these combat-savvy comrades shouldn't waste their energy here.

Nodding, Team Leader Song asked, "When are we leaving to pick up the brothers' families?"

This is the most important thing, and the thing that can best reassure people.

Supplies can be found anytime, but human lives cannot wait.
