As the young man peeks his head out, he is absolutely stunned by the thing standing outside.

It was a zombie mutant half of a tank mutant, with a long, slithering tail as its right hand.

With the wall that touched the green goo melting away as if it had touched some sort of acid, Kate and Xiaoyun immediately realized the danger.

With loud bang sounds, Xiaoyun unloaded his entire rifle mag onto the mutant, only to find it standing perfectly fine.

"Kate, bring them out of the store. I''ll deal with it."

"Wait, help untie us first——"

"Just run out!"

As Kate started to help the four get back up from the ground, Xiaoyun forcefully ripped the food shelf out of the wall.

"Hey, trash! Are you mad that I killed that statue? Was that pathetic thing your kid or something?"

The mutant''s face turned fully angrier as it growled right toward him before slashing the door frame into pieces.

"Fight me like a real man. Don''t be a coward——" Experience new stories on M V L

Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, he immediately raised the shelve to block the green goo being shot towards him.

This time, all of them could see the green goo coming out of the slithering hand, with a hole opening at the very tip.

Within seconds, Xiaoyun threw the shelve away as it melted into a bunch of black goo before falling onto the floor.

"Come over here. Let''s see if you can catch me."

Xiaoyun yelled as he immediately ran in the opposite direction, as the other five hid underneath the nearby shelve.

"Take this!"

Xiaoyun quickly pulled out his Beretta 92 and fired toward the mutant, running further back as he fired several more shots.

The mutant seemed to run out of the green goo as it started chasing after Xiaoyun, running through all the shelves as it got closer and closer.

After seeing all five of them quickly running out of the exit, Xiaoyun finally stopped as he quickly created a longsword.

"I never got the chance to use one of these. Look like you''re going to be my first target——"

Just as Xiaoyun was about to make his move, the mutant swung its slithering hand right towards him.

Wanting to test his strength, Xiaoyun chose to block it with his sword instead of just dodging it.

However, the strength test failed before it could even happen, as the sword instantly snapped in half the moment it came in contact.

"Geez, that was strong..."

Xiaoyun murmured as he could feel the strength pressing down on him before he ran away.

Not wanting to play around any longer, a grenade suddenly appeared in Xiaoyun''s hands.

With the safety pin pulled, he waited for the mutant to get just close enough for him to throw it right at the mutant''s head.

"Has to be dead now... Right?"

As the dust faded away, much to Xiaoyun''s dismay, the mutant remained alive and stood firm.

"If you guys are really from Luoping, can you guys take us in?" The middle-aged man nervously pleaded.

Xiaoyun shook his head, as there was no way for him to transport the four of them over without exposing his ability.

Nor did he want to bring them back, at least for now.

"I can tell you that Dongguan is currently on the chopping block to be cleared.

If you guys just stay alive for a few more months, we will be able to rescue you guys to Guangzhou."

The four immediately looked a little disappointed, but Xiaoyun remained firm in his answer.

"If you guys want a faster route, you could head up the Northern part of Dongguan instead.

When you get there, you will be able to see one of our army stationed there trying to clear southward."

Hearing Xiaoyun''s answer, the middle-aged man suddenly shook his head.

"There''s no way to go North at all... The zombie hordes had split the city into two.

We were lucky to escape just in time before they overran the city proper. Everyone is either in the northern or southern part."

As the conversation fell into silence, Xiaoyun suddenly had an idea pop up in his head.

"Can you just spread the news that all survivors need to hide for the upcoming week?"

"Huh? Why?"

"We''re actually planning to lure some of the zombie hordes all the way down to this bridge.

I''ll pay you guys with food if you help me spread the news to other survivors who are still in the city.

Just tell them to stay indoors or stay as far away from the road as possible."

After a short consideration, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

"Sure. We can do that..."

"Great. Let me go get food."

As Xiaoyun turned around and started digging around his backpack, he quickly created a few cans of food before taking it out.

"Here''s the payment... Good luck!"

"Good luck to you too!"

As the four of them drove off into the distance, Xiaoyun and Kate both turned around and began heading towards the bridge again.

"Xiaoyun, why did you ask feel so different earlier?" Kate curiously asked as she still remembered the threatening face Xiaoyun had.

"Just have to look tough, or else they won''t tell the full truth."

"But they had no reasons to lie... Besides that first part. But that part isn''t even relevant to us."

Xiaoyun''s face started to blush a little as he knew what Kate was pointing out was all true.

However, he just didn''t want to admit wrong, so he pulled out his trump card.

"Easy for you to say in hindsight... Maybe they would have given us the wrong information on purpose, thinking we are enemies."
