Chapter 33 Leaving to Distribute Supplies
Chapter 33 Leaving to Distribute Supplies
If Wang Hu's ability had no side effects, his strength would be absolutely monstrous. However, due to the side effects, his ability can only be described as mediocre.
Losing an arm only doubled his combat power, and the time was only ten minutes, so his ability wasn't as formidable.
Thirty seconds later.
"Sister Wanyue, Brother Hu, that monster has come out!" Zhao Hai reminded the two of the monster as it emerged from his poisonous mist.
"Understood!" Su Wanyue and Wang Hu said at the same time.
"Ah! What, what is this weird thing? It's running so fast! Help! Help! Save me! I don't want to die!" A middle-aged woman who was closest to the strange shopping cart was also frightened by its bizarre appearance.
She staggered backward, momentarily panicked and disoriented, her heel tripping on the curb, and she fell backward like a rag doll with its bones removed.
The shopping cart—which should have been a rusty, creaking metal frame—acted like a shark smelling blood, its front wheels suddenly lifting up, and the whole cart "standing" up, revealing the dense, serrated wires underneath.
The shopping cart didn't hit her. Instead, it defied the laws of physics, with its two small wheels on one side lifting off the ground. The entire cart, like a gaping maw covered in rusty fangs, suddenly tilted towards her and enveloped her!
"Clang!"
The woman was trapped inside the shopping cart. From the outside, all that could be seen was the cart shaking violently and deforming, with dull, teeth-grinding thuds and the frantic tearing of fabric emanating from within. The woman's initial cries for help turned into short, piercing screams, which were quickly replaced by a thick, gurgling sound, as if she were struggling underwater.
Something began to seep out from the mesh of the shopping cart. First, a few strands of hair, still with follicles, clung to the rust. Then, a dark red, warm liquid dripped down the mesh, splashing into irregular patterns on the smooth tiles. The shopping cart swayed more and more violently, as if it contained not a person, but a large, convulsing mass of flesh forcibly stuffed inside.
"Snap!"
A clear, crisp sound of bones breaking.
A small section of the mesh on one side of the shopping cart suddenly bulged outwards, vaguely resembling half a bent finger, but quickly went limp, leaving only a bloodstained mark. The shaking gradually stopped, replaced by a chilling, wet, wriggling sound, as if something inside was greedily swallowing and digesting.
"Luckily, this shopping cart weirdly eats ordinary people in the back, so I'm not worried!" Seeing the last woman killed by the shopping cart, Zhao Hai felt relieved.
Although he awakened a sequence of extraordinary abilities, he was not like Su Wanyue and Wang Hu, who were combat sequences that leaned towards close combat.
Of course, this doesn't mean Zhao Hai has no close-combat skills at all. He estimated that if his Poison Hands absorbed enough toxins, his hands would not only become harder, but the power of the toxins stored in his hands in close combat would definitely be considerable.
However, he only absorbed a small amount of toxin last time, and half of the toxin was transferred to the crossbow bolt. Based on the toxin in his hands now, it's estimated that the toxin will be gone after he fires one shot.
He was a little reluctant to part with the little bit of poison he had gone to so much trouble to obtain.
If that shopping cart, like the little boy with the wooden bow they encountered before, chases after and kills the person running in front, then they'll be in big trouble.
Fortunately, this strange creature was not like the one they had encountered before.
After the shopping cart eerily killed the middle-aged woman, it didn't stop its fangs, continuing to devour the ordinary survivors who were running at the back.
Two minutes later, Zhao Hai and the other two also ran out of the town.
After returning to her car, Su Wanyue immediately took out a megaphone and shouted, "Xu the charlatan! Get the convoy out of here right now!"
Hearing Su Wanyue say this, Xu Wenchu didn't ask any further questions and started the car directly.
At the same time, the loudspeaker in his car also started playing.
[Attention everyone, the convoy is leaving immediately. Please stay close to the convoy and do not fall behind!]
"What happened? Weren't we supposed to have forty minutes to gather supplies? How come the convoy left after only twenty minutes?"
"Don't leave! I beg you, my husband is still inside collecting supplies! Please wait for him, he'll be back in a little while!" A middle-aged woman pleaded desperately upon hearing that the convoy was leaving.
"Little brother! Didi! Where are you! Please stop and wait! My little brother is still inside!"
"No! You can't leave! My son is still inside! If you leave, you'll be murderers!" a woman in her sixties cried.
……
Such shouts continued incessantly among the ordinary survivors in the convoy.
Zhao Hai was already used to this kind of situation.
Although Xu Wenchu said the maximum time for collecting supplies was forty minutes.
If they encounter a weak monster and an extraordinary individual wants to collect more supplies, they might stay for a full forty minutes.
If they encounter a bizarre situation that even superhumans find troublesome, Xu Wenchu will leave with the convoy without hesitation once the superhumans emerge.
This is why Zhao Hai never went deep into the world to collect resources with other extraordinary individuals before he awakened and became a sequence extraordinary being.
If they follow the superhumans to deeper places to collect supplies, and then encounter something strange, the superhumans will try to escape. However, ordinary people are far slower than superhumans, and they will become food for the strange creatures.
If they were only collecting supplies on the outskirts, they could run away in advance if they saw the superhumans running out.
Xu Wenchu led the convoy for nearly two hours before stopping to rest.
After the convoy stopped, Zhao Hai and the other superhumans got into Xu Wenchu's off-road vehicle.
"Alright everyone, it's time to distribute the supplies!" Xu Wenchu said to the crowd.
Zhao Hai first took out the drinks and instant noodles he had collected from the mala tang restaurant, and then took out the canned goods, dumplings and other supplies he had collected from the supermarket.
"Wow! Hai Zi! You've collected quite a lot of good stuff! You even have instant food like dumplings and wontons! And all kinds of canned goods!" Wang Hu's eyes lit up.
"What a pity! One backpack isn't enough. Otherwise, we could have taken so much more from the supermarket!" Zhao Hai said with a regretful expression.
