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

Lin You, Mu Xue started.

Three men followed behind, and although the scene was somewhat strange, it was surprisingly natural.

Lin You walked to the entrance of the pharmacy and looked at the half-closed glass door.

With a push, the unlocked door opened with a click, revealing a dark interior.

You can vaguely see that half of the shelf has fallen over, and empty medicine boxes and broken glass are scattered on the ground.

The air was filled with a mixture of disinfectant and the stench of a dead body.

Behind the cashier's counter lay a corpse—a man, wearing a pharmacy's white coat, with something piercing his chest.

The edges of the wound were blackened and had been dry for a long time.

Mu Xue followed behind her, carrying a shotgun, the muzzle sweeping across the prescription drug counter on the left.

Half of the shelf had collapsed, and empty medicine boxes and broken glass were scattered on the ground.

Lin You suddenly stopped and looked like a hawk at the back of the shelf, at the deliberately suppressed breathing.

There are people there, more than one.

With a "whoosh," Lin You had already drawn her pistol, and Sig Sauer's gun was pointed at the shelf.

Mu Xue reacted quickly, raising her shield forward.

The shotgun muzzle was aimed at the direction Lin You's pistol was pointing.

"Don't be nervous." A man's voice came from behind the shelves, his tone calm and carrying a restraint rarely seen in the apocalypse. "There's plenty of stuff here. We don't want to cause trouble, and I think you do too."

Lin You didn't release the gun; she continued to look at the shelf.

I glanced behind the shelf—six people, four men and two women, and a few more squatting behind the medicine cabinet, all armed.

They were some simple cold weapons, stained with dark green blood.

Clearly, they also encountered strange beasts, but it's unclear how they survived.

The one who spoke was the leader, around twenty years old, wearing a dusty milk tea-themed work uniform, holding a crowbar with dried bloodstains on the tip.

Behind him stood a young woman carrying a bulging backpack.

He was holding a short spear made of steel pipe.

The other people crouched behind the medicine cabinet, only showing half their heads, watching Lin You and the others who suddenly entered with wary eyes.

Because of the angle, it's impossible to see what weapons they're holding.

Their number is no less than ten.

"Take your own." Lin You withdrew her gaze, loosened the pistol and reinserted it into its holster, then walked towards the prescription drug section on the left.

Mu Xue followed behind her, a shotgun resting on her shoulder, muzzle pointing to the ground, but the safety was already off.

As she passed the shelf, she made eye contact with the young woman, who was gripping her short spear tightly but showed no intention of approaching.

Two groups of people were searching the pharmacy separately, separated by a row of collapsed shelves, like a silent boundary.

Neither of them initiated a conversation, but neither of them completely exposed their backs to the other.

Lin You used a bone dagger to violently break the lock on the prescription drug cabinet and swept the antibiotics, antipyretics, and salbutamol inhaler into her backpack.

Mu Xue picked up several rolls of medical tape and disposable infusion sets from the ground, and then rummaged through the bottom layer to find several bags of intravenous glucose and saline solution.

Many Lin You don't know what these strangely transliterated Western medicines are used for.

I just swipe away if I feel it's useful.

This time, she has three men behind her, so she must make the most of them.

Just as Lin You was scavenging for medicine, a young woman not far from her suddenly asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Asthma medication."

"If I'm not mistaken, there are some more under the second row of shelves behind the counter," the young woman suddenly said, pointing to a shelf that had been knocked over behind the cashier.

Mu Xue glanced down and saw several boxes of cold medicine scattered in the basket, with an unopened box of salbutamol at the bottom.

She bent down to pick it up and nodded to the other person.

The young woman nodded and continued searching the shelves on her side.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin You and her companion did not use their abilities.

Just like an ordinary person.

The simple cleaning is quick and only requires some emergency wound medication.

There were also several beautifully packaged medicine boxes.

Just as Lin You zipped up her backpack and prepared to leave, the roar of a strange beast came from outside the door.

Not just one—but several, rising and falling, approaching from afar.

The man in the dark blue overalls quickly squatted down by the window and glanced outside.

At the end of the street, several small, strange beasts were moving quickly from the direction of the gas station, making clattering sounds on the concrete road.

"There were four of them, coming from the gas station. They were going very fast." He lowered his voice and turned to look at Lin You. "Is this your car?"

He clearly saw Lin You's armored vehicle parked at the main entrance.

Lin You looked at the man in the blue overalls. He was so calm, unlike an ordinary person who had just experienced the apocalypse.

"Hmm," Lin You replied casually.

"We have a car too. Parked at the back entrance of the supermarket." He switched the crowbar to his left hand and wiped his right hand on his work clothes. "Shall we each go our own way?"

Lin You did not answer.

She looked at Mu Xue, whose backpack, meant to conceal her presence, was already full, as were the backpacks of the other three men.

The backpack was bulging, indicating that quite a few people had survived.

Lin You shouted into the pharmacy, alerting everyone that a strange beast was approaching.

The unfamiliar survivors immediately retreated towards the back door; their numbers exceeded Lin Youxiang's, totaling thirteen people.

They were leaving quickly, running towards the back door.

He then withdrew his gaze, casually drew his mantis knife, and stood at the entrance of the pharmacy.

Mu Xue followed closely behind her, her bone shield already raised to her chest, with a shotgun resting on the edge of the shield.

Several gray-white shadows darted out from the buildings on both sides of the street. They didn't come from a distance; rather, they seemed to emerge from the cracks in the ruins.

It was as if they had been lying in ambush there all along.

There are four in total.

It is close to a large dog in size, with slender limbs, protruding bone spurs at the joints, and a tail that whips behind it like a whip.

Their claws are not the hooked claws of the dinosaurs, but rather thinner and straighter sickle-shaped claws, each as long as a hand.

The largest one was perched on the overturned truck in front of the pharmacy, its claws digging into the rusty metal, making a sharp metallic scraping sound.

It didn't pounce immediately, but tilted its head, its dark green eyes with vertical pupils scanning the armored vehicle and the various expressions on everyone's faces.

Finally, it stopped on Lin You's mantis knife.

It is assessing—assessing who is the weakest among the prey and who is most worthy of being attacked first.

Mu Xue pressed the bone shield down half an inch to protect her torso.

Lin You drew another mantis knife from behind her back, the two knives crossed in front of her, their serrations facing outwards.

Lin You's breathing was steady, her gaze fixed on the survivors.

Whenever the other party intends to make a malicious move, the shoulder or arm will make a corresponding movement.

To Lin You, they were like fireflies, so conspicuous.

The lead wolf let out a sharp howl.

The four dire wolves launched their attack simultaneously—not in a straight line, but by spreading out and flanking the enemy.

Two attacked from the left flank to the rear of the armored vehicle, two from the right flank to encircle the pharmacy entrance, and the leader, along with the last one, charged straight at Lin You from the front.

Mu Xue turned around, and the bone shield met the wolf beast that pounced from the left flank.

The dinosaur's claws slammed into the shield, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, she used the impact to deflect the shield, her claws sliding along the arc of the shield.

The next moment, the trigger was pulled, and the shotgun mounted on the bone shield roared.
