“Let’s go.”
Wang Tao got in the car and handed over the prepared head to one of the soldiers.
The car started, but Xiang Hongbin and the others remained silent for a long time. Not until they arrived outside the old mall did Xiang Hongbin hammer the seat fiercely.
“Damn it! I want to become an Ability User too!”
“Me too!”
The others immediately echoed.
Han Rui really wanted to say, not all Ability Users are so powerful; she is a counterexample…
“Yeah, you guys keep it up!”
Wang Tao smiled and then said seriously,
“Take action.”
“Yes!”
Wang Tao got out of the car, and Han Rui hurriedly followed, with the others quickly finding cover.
Wang Tao, fully armed, was not afraid of getting wet from the rain. As Wang Tao had predicted, Han Rui was instantly drenched like a drowned rat.
But you have to admit, there’s a special beauty to Han Rui like this. Especially when her dress clung to her body. Although it wasn’t see-through, the barely- there allure was even more lethal.
Of course, Wang Tao was a decent man. After stealing several glances, he then entered the mall with Han Rui.
Looking at the first floor of the mall, which had been heavily damaged, Han Rui was shocked. How powerful must a zombie be to cause such massive destruction! No wonder even the strong Wang Tao was still so cautious!
“Can you sense any people?”
Wang Tao asked in a low voice.
“There’s one person at the stair entrance, not far from us. I can’t sense anyone else for the time being…”
“Hmm.”
Wang Tao nodded, then headed straight for the stairs with Han Rui closely following behind him.
The person hiding in the dark did not avoid them. When Wang Tao approached, he came out. Seeing Han Rui, a tinge of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.
“Brother Chen, what is this…?”
Wang Tao paused for a moment before he realized that he had previously introduced himself as Chen Zhuang, so the address of Brother Chen was for him.
“Haven’t eaten for a day, just passing by your place, borrowing something to eat shouldn’t be too much, right?”
Wang Tao spoke indifferently.
“…I, I can’t decide that, I have to ask our boss.”
The underling looked troubled.
“Alright, then let’s go up and find your boss.”
Wang Tao directly took Han Rui’s hand and started to walk upstairs, with Han Rui keeping her head down as if she was afraid, but in reality, she was quietly using her Ability to sense her surroundings.
The underling only made a symbolic attempt to stop them, thinking that Wang Tao, being out and about with a beautiful woman, probably just came to ask for something. If Wang Tao wanted to harm them, why would he bring a cumbersome woman along?
The underling followed behind Wang Tao, looking at Han Rui, he licked his lips and said:
“Brother Chen, this beauty is…”
“Picked her up along the way, planning to take her home to be my wife,” Wang Tao said without looking back.
“Picked up?”
The underling was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, immediately showing an ‘I understand’ expression. Why pretend, clearly he must have captured a survivor and taken the person hostage! But that said or not, this woman is really something! Much better than those women upstairs!
When they arrived on the second floor, Han Rui suddenly staggered a bit.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Wang Tao looked at Han Rui with a hint of impatience in his voice.
“I, I’m so hungry, I have no strength left…”
Han Rui pretended to be extremely weak and directly leaned on Wang Tao’s body as if she couldn’t walk anymore.
Seeing this, Wang Tao wrapped his arm around Han Rui’s waist, allowing her to cling to him.
Seizing the opportunity, Han Rui tiptoed and whispered nervously into Wang Tao’s ear,
“There are so many people and zombies upstairs!”
“???”
Wang Tao’s brow furrowed.
So many people? Had their team expanded in the few days he hadn’t seen them? But what about the zombies? Could people really live together with zombies?
Wang Tao also became somewhat nervous; after all, the unknown was the most terrifying thing.
But having come this far, it was impossible not to go upstairs.
Pretending to have discovered nothing, Wang Tao supported Han Rui’s waist and strode upstairs.
Upstairs, Cao Xin and a lackey were waiting for him.
Wang Tao’s original plan had been to quickly take down Cao Xin and his people upon sight. But with Han Rui mentioning that there were many people here, and even zombies, he had to change his plan on the fly.
Moreover, Wang Tao noticed that Cao Xin had gained a considerable amount of weight since their last meeting, especially around the belly. But that wasn’t the focus; the important thing was that Cao Xin now had a blue bar, meaning he had become an Ability User! However, his HP was still low, only “220,” and he would likely not withstand a single axe blow from himself.
Cao Xin, upon seeing Wang Tao, couldn’t help but feel a bit scared, as the impression of Wang Tao slaughtering zombies like chopping vegetables was deeply etched in his mind. But upon remembering his own new-found Ability, he instantly straightened his back. No matter how strong brute force might be, it couldn’t compare to even a hair of an Ability!
Especially upon seeing the pitiful Han Rui in Wang Tao’s embrace, a glint of greed flashed in Cao Xin’s eyes. Even though he couldn’t see Han Rui’s face clearly, he knew she was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in reality!
He wanted that woman!
Cao Xin’s face revealed a beaming smile.
“Brother Chen, what brings you here…”
“I haven’t eaten for a day, I was hoping to borrow some food from you.”
At these words, a look of difficulty crossed Cao Xin’s face.
“But we don’t have much food left either—truly, we’re out… Ah, forget it, who makes me such a sociable person! I’ll get it for you!”
Cao Xin immediately headed towards the other end of the hall; to the unknowing observer, he may really seem like a friend to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao, still holding Han Rui by the waist, nonchalantly sat on the sofa.
He noticed that Seventh Brother Yang whom he had met before was nowhere to be seen. Now, there were only Cao Xin and his two lackeys in the hall.
Han Rui, seemingly very scared, leaned against Wang Tao’s chest and then whispered quietly,
“Cao Xin has a handgun at the back of his waist. The other people and zombies are all behind the iron door on the left. But I have this hunch that those people and zombies are weak. It seems like… they have been locked up? Yes, they must be locked up, the zombies are shuffling in place!”
“Hmm? Locked up…”
Wang Tao’s main concern was confirming whether these people were Cao Xin’s accomplices. If they were locked up, that clearly indicated they were not on Cao Xin’s side!
In that case… things were getting simpler!
“Here you go! Brother Chen, I have a pack of bread here for you just in case…”
Cao Xin came over with a pack of bread that had been opened and some condiments added to it.
Wang Tao stood up to take the bread, with a coffee table separating the two men.
Suddenly, Wang Tao grabbed Cao Xin’s hand! In that instant, Cao Xin hadn’t yet reacted when he saw Wang Tao yank forcefully.
Crash—
Cao Xin stumbled and landed harshly on the coffee table, which split under his weight, making him grimace in pain.
Han Rui quickly got up, snatching the handgun tucked at Cao Xin’s back, and at the same time, she pulled out another handgun from Wang Tao’s waist, pointing both guns at the two lackeys.
“Hands on your heads, squat down!”
