The rolling shutter door made a clattering sound as a grimy young woman appeared, looking to be around twenty years old.
When she saw Chen Ye and Chu Che, her initial reaction wasn't caution or fear, but rather a wolf-like greedy expression.
This process was brief—the expression only appeared on her face for about 0.1 seconds before quickly being concealed.
The lower half of her face was also covered by a simple mask, making her features unclear.
Chen Ye's brow furrowed slightly.
This expression felt a bit off.
This small gathering place gave off an overall strange feeling.
But Chen Ye didn't say anything, just glanced at Chu Che. Though Chu Che's expression remained unchanged, Chen Ye knew this guy had also noticed the girl's earlier expression.
"Uncle Zheng, you're back! And these two are..."
At this moment, Chen Ye's car was parked sideways facing the rolling shutter door, so the girl could see the person in the passenger seat.
"Xiao Hua, these are Mr. Chen and Mr. Chu, superhumans!"
Hearing the words "superhumans," the girl's pupils slightly contracted. The previous greed was hidden even deeper, and only then did a trace of caution appear in her eyes.
The girl especially looked at Chen Ye's face a few more times because his eyes looked quite strange at the moment.
Left eye blood red, right eye slightly pale.
If someone said these two eyes didn't have something special about them, no one would believe it even if beaten to death.
Coupled with Chen Ye's identity as a superhuman, it made people even more curious.
"My leg is injured, have Xiao Long and A Hao come out to help me!"
The man's hoarse voice came from beneath the mask again.
Only then did the girl snap out of it and hurriedly shouted inside: "Xiao Long, A Hao, Uncle Zheng is injured, come out quickly!"
"Coming, what's all the shouting about? So he's injured, big deal! Do we have to carry him or something?"
Two young men with red and blue dyed hair swayed as they walked out from inside, both wearing the same style of bean shoes and skinny pants.
They looked to be around twenty years old. Though they wore masks on their faces, their walking posture was quite arrogant.
As they walked over, their heads swayed back and forth, looking like a pair of comic relief characters.
However, both of them also wore simple masks on their faces.
When they saw Chen Ye and Chu Che, their eyes lit up: "Yo ho~~~ new goods arrived?"
"Those eyes, pretty cool!~~~"
Xiao Hua's expression changed, and she said coldly: "What nonsense are you spouting? These two are superhumans, can you afford to mess with them?"
It seemed these two energetic young men were quite wary of Xiao Hua, as their expressions became slightly more restrained when they approached.
Hearing the words "superhumans," these two acted like they'd been electrocuted, instantly becoming countless times more obedient.
They didn't even dare to look at Chen Ye's eyes anymore.
The two quickly and obediently carried this Uncle Zheng down from the vehicle and walked inside through the rolling shutter door.
But before entering through the rolling shutter door, they kept looking back.
Their eyes showed both caution and greed, especially toward Chen Ye's eyes and the two vehicles parked at the entrance.
Squad Leader Chu Che's vehicle in particular clearly contained quite a lot of supplies.
Xiao Hua showed a very friendly smile and said: "You two, why not come in and sit for a while? You saved Uncle Zheng, and we haven't properly thanked you yet?"
"We have other matters to attend to. When we saved that Uncle Zheng earlier, he promised that you would provide a guide to lead us away from here. I wonder if you have the authority to make that decision?"
Seeing that Chu Che wasn't speaking, Chen Ye directly stated his purpose.
Although he still had many doubts and curiosities about this small group.
Now wasn't the time to delay.
The girl smiled faintly: "I can't make that decision. Why don't you two come in with me and sit for a bit? I need to discuss this matter with others!"
Seeing that Chen Ye and Chu Che were still hesitant.
The girl added: "Don't worry, it won't take much time, twenty minutes at most."
Chu Che seemed somewhat hesitant.
But Chen Ye frowned and surveyed the entrance of this convenience supermarket.
Not only was the supermarket entrance completely chaotic, but the ground near the neighboring shops had some dark stains that looked like blood that had blackened over time.
Wasn't this exactly like those horror movie plots?
In those horror movie plots, when the main characters encounter an ancient mansion that obviously looks suspicious and go inside, they all end up dead.
Every time Chen Ye saw this kind of plot before.
He would watch while cursing, asking if these people were idiots? It obviously looks suspicious, yet they still go in?
He never expected that one day this kind of brain-dead plot would happen to him.
Chen Ye grabbed Chu Che who was about to agree and directly said: "We're in a hurry. It seems like you're also a local here, so why don't you come with me instead?"
This girl called Xiao Hua spoke with a similar accent to the rescued Uncle Zheng.
Therefore, Chen Ye guessed she might be a local of Fog City.
The young girl didn't expect Chen Ye to be so domineering and difficult to deal with. Her expression changed, and she hesitated before saying:
"This... sir, it's not that I don't want to go with you, but my parents are still here. If I leave, it would be somewhat inappropriate!"
Chen Ye couldn't be bothered with more talk, his gaze turning unfriendly: "I don't care about all that, you're coming with me right now!"
The girl's face began to pale, her previous composure slowly disappearing.
Perhaps because she was young, she had never encountered such a domineering person before.
But before the girl could say anything, a group of people rushed out from the rolling shutter door.
These people all looked sallow and emaciated, their clothes slovenly and dirty. Each wore a simply made mask on their face, but their eyes were all extremely fierce.
They held various weapons in their hands—steel pipes, fire axes, kitchen knives, and even four or five guns!
These were guns!!!
Thanks to Xia Country's policies, many people's understanding of guns was limited to television, movies, or certain short videos.
Even during military training, some places didn't even bring out guns.
This was the first time encountering guns since the apocalypse began.
While guns were useless against anomalies, they were still quite effective against people.
Chen Ye definitely didn't have Iron Lion's formidable physical attributes.
Chen Ye reacted extremely quickly, his body instantly transforming into a wisp of blue smoke as he swept backward, light as nothing.
Chen Ye's reaction directly stunned the people who had just rushed out, leaving them standing frozen in place, momentarily unsure what to do.
Who would have thought that Squad Leader Chu Che beside him had already taken cover behind the modified off-road vehicle.
This guy had prepared when he noticed something was wrong.
But Chen Ye's reaction completely shocked Squad Leader Chu Che.
Well done, Chen Ye, you bastard actually had another trick up your sleeve.
If not for today's situation, how long were you planning to hide this?
But now wasn't the time for arguments.
Chen Ye's eyes turned fierce, and he felt killing intent toward these people.
Damn it, transforming into blue smoke was his trump card ability that even Chu Che didn't know about, yet now he was forced to reveal it because of these people.
Chen Ye's Blood Eye slightly reddened. Clearly, he was going to use the Blood Eye's ability this time.
Before Chen Ye could react, the red-haired guy among these people started shouting.
"Brothers, don't be afraid, they're just superhumans! It's not like we haven't dealt with them before!"
"They definitely have lots of supplies!"
"Two fat-faced guys—if we slaughter them, we could eat for a long time!"
Fat-faced?
Eat for a long time?
Hearing these words, even the good-tempered Squad Leader Chu became furious.
You call this fat-faced?
This is well-proportioned!!!
Damn it, unacceptable!
