The sound of footsteps could be heard at the entrance of the mall.
Lu Sheng walked in front while Twain brought up the rear. Both of them held a flashlight in their hands and shone it around from time to time.
Around the hall on the first floor, rows of shops were in ruins. The floor tiles were littered with a large number of goods and garbage bags.
Some of the places were even stained with blood.
"Be careful not to look at people's faces. As long as you don't alarm them, these abnormalities are usually not dangerous, "Twain warned.
"Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about me," Lu Sheng said casually.
He walked along the wall for a while and quickly rummaged around in a shop. He took out two pairs of sunglasses and tossed one to Twain.
"Put this on."
"This is not bad." Twain breathed a sigh of relief. "Wearing sunglasses in this dark. I guess this is the only time something like this will happen."
"Be careful. There's a fork here. Let's split up and contact each other if we meet anyone. "Lu Sheng took out two walkie-talkies from a digital store and tossed one to Twain.
"Install the batteries yourself. There's a lot of them here." Lu Sheng pointed to the digital store's counter.
"Meet up here later?" Twain asked.
"No. If you can't find it, go straight to the second floor. Of course, if you're afraid, you can wait for me here. Just remember to contact me at any time, "Lu Sheng said nonchalantly.
"Are you looking down on me? Although I'm not as strong as you, I still have the guts! "Twain's face was a little flushed.
"Alright, let's begin." Lu Sheng put on his sunglasses, put away the walkie-talkie, and turned to walk into the depths of the mall.
Twain exhaled heavily and walked to the other side of the corridor with the flashlight.
"Remember to gently tap the walkie-talkie every ten minutes." Lu Sheng's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Got it."
"If you don't tap it, it means something has happened. Try to be quiet immediately."
"Got it!"
In the dark, Lu Sheng put away the walkie-talkie and put on his piercing gloves before strolling leisurely.
This shopping mall was very large. Just on the first floor, there were three rings in the center. The three rings were connected together to form the lobby of the first floor of the shopping mall.
There were all kinds of shops in the mall, but most of them were clothing and digital stores. Occasionally, there was a drink shop.
Patter.
Lu Sheng's foot bumped into an empty can.
In the quiet environment, the aluminum can made a shrill noise.
Rumble …
Suddenly, the voice stopped.
Through the ink, Lu Sheng saw the can hit the feet of a person standing at the entrance of a shop in the darkness.
The figure was motionless, facing him. It seemed to be watching him.
He couldn't see the other person's face through the sunglasses, but this strange feeling was obviously because of those strange abnormalities.
Lu Sheng and Tang En called these people, who they could not tell whether they were alive or dead, anomalies. This was a temporary title.
After all, they couldn't find a more appropriate adjective to describe these strange existences.
Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks and looked at the man's feet calmly.
He couldn't feel any heartbeat, breathing, pulse, or even blood flow from this person's body.
It was as if he didn't exist. It was empty.
After pausing for a while, Lu Sheng slowly moved his feet. He walked into the distance.
He walked forward lightly for a while. Seeing that the person didn't move, he quickened his pace and continued to walk further.
At this time, a billboard erected in front of a shop blocked his view for a moment.
It was only for a moment. After passing the billboard, Lu Sheng couldn't see the figure anymore.
Exhaling, Lu Sheng looked around and then took out his phone to check the time. Almost ten minutes had passed. He turned on the walkie-talkie and gently knocked.
There was also a knock on the other side.
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Lu Sheng looked around and picked a new digital store.
Squeak.
The glass door seemed to lack lubricant as the joints made a slight friction sound.
In this quiet and dark environment, such a small sound was slightly ear-piercing.
There was no one in the shop. The items on the counter were still in their original positions, and no one had touched them.
Lu Sheng skillfully started to search and quickly found a pile of batteries of various models. He immediately took out a plastic bag and put them all in.
"Who is it!" Suddenly, a hurried shout came from the door.
It seemed to be a woman.
Lu Sheng stopped what he was doing. He looked up at the door.
Through the sunglasses, he could see a tall and thin figure holding something in his hand, slowly walking into the shop.
"There's someone?" He was happy and put down the thing in his hand.
"A living person?" He tried to ask.
"Who are you!?" The woman's voice was full of caution. She didn't relax even though he was a living person.
"I was passing by and came in to see if there were any survivors," Lu Sheng answered honestly.
"So what if you found them?" The woman said coldly. "Okay, now, get out of here!"
"Friend, don't be nervous, I mean no harm. Do you know if there are other survivors here? Or just you? "
"I don't want to say it again. Now, immediately! Get out of here!! "The woman said sternly.
"Don't be nervous, friend, I mean no harm, I just happened to pass by …"
"Get out!! Don't you understand human language? "
"Click."
The sound of the gun's safety being released.
The smile on Lu Sheng's face slowly disappeared.
"Friend, you need to relax."
"Bang!!"
He rushed forward and pushed the gun away with his shoulder. His right elbow smashed into the woman's neck.
Then, he twisted his right leg and knocked her down.
"Bang!"
He stepped on the woman's lower abdomen.
"Ow!!!"
The continuous movement caught the woman off guard and she couldn't react at all. She screamed in pain on the spot.
"Research shows that relaxing after pain is better for the body's health." Lu Sheng moved his foot away and grabbed the woman's hair and lifted her up.
Although he didn't add much strength, it was enough to increase the strength of this body by a lot.
"Now, can you relax?" Lu Sheng looked at the woman's face and smiled.
The woman gasped with difficulty, her hand covering her stomach. Her forehead was full of sweat.
"You … you bastard …!!"
The gun in her hand had already fallen to the ground. Compared to Lu Sheng's huge body, she couldn't fight back at all.
"Bam!"
The woman took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it at the side of Lu Sheng's neck.
Before she could touch him, she felt a crack on her wrist and was flung away by a huge force.
"I'll kill you!!" She bit at Lu Sheng like a madwoman.
"Pfft!"
Unfortunately, Lu Sheng's fist once again landed on her lower abdomen.
"Come on, good girl. Now tell me, what's your name? Is there anyone else around? "Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
The woman bent over in pain, arched her back and vomited. But apart from some stomach acid and saliva, she didn't vomit anything.
"You … don't even think about it!!" The woman squeezed out the words with difficulty.
Lu Sheng was about to speak when he felt a sharp pain on his back. He swerved to the left.
Bang!!
A gunshot rang out. The bullet passed through where he was standing and hit the wall of the shop in front of him, causing a large crack to appear on the casing of a hanging stereo.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out. Lu Sheng felt a sharp pain on his wrist. He immediately let go of the woman's hand and stepped back. He dodged the bullet aimed at his wrist.
With a bang, the woman fell to the ground, but she immediately jumped up and staggered in the direction of the gunshot.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!
The continuous barrage of bullets turned the shop in front of Lu Sheng into a pile of rubble.
The glass on the counter shattered, and the electronic devices inside were knocked away by the stray bullets.
After more than a minute, the gunshots suddenly stopped.
Lu Sheng stood where he was, unscathed. After looking around, he smiled and quickly walked out of the shop, heading in a certain direction in the darkness.
…
…
Luo Fei ran like crazy. The pain in her lower abdomen was still spreading throughout her body, but she didn't dare to stop.
If it wasn't for her sister's support, she would have been dead by now.
The two sisters ran quickly without making a sound. The soles of their shoes were made of special materials, so they didn't make any sound when they ran.
Even though they were already far away from the man, Luo Fei's heart was still beating rapidly. Traces of pain lingered in her mind.
The two of them quickly ran into a temporary passageway that led to the bathroom.
The two sisters leaned against the wall and breathed heavily to rest.
"Sister, are you okay?" Loraine couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine …" Luo Fei squatted down. She felt a terrible pain in her stomach. Traces of blood were slowly seeping out of her pants, and the air was filled with the faint smell of blood.
"I … I'm on my period!" Luo Fei was sweating profusely.
"Damn it! Sister, your period is not up yet. It must be that guy! "Loraine said angrily.
"Let's go get the medicine first!" Luo Fei struggled to stand up. Suddenly, she saw a faint shadow approaching silently from the entrance of the passageway.
"Let's go!" In a moment of desperation, she pulled her sister and ran again.
"Why are you running?" Suddenly, a figure rushed up from the side of the two girls and blocked their way.
It was Lu Sheng!
He instantly turned around and grabbed the gun that Loraine had just taken out with his right hand. He swept his right leg across.
"Bam bam!"
The two girls were hit by his leg in succession. They flew backward and fell to the ground.
"Game over."
Lu Sheng turned the gun in his hand and casually put it in his pocket.
The two girls on the ground coughed as if they were going to cough their lungs out. They struggled to get up from the ground.
"Who … Who are you! What do you want?! "Luo Fei yelled, clutching her chest.
"I'm just asking for directions." Lu Sheng smiled. "You're overreacting. It's none of my business. "
"You wanted to kill me just now, didn't you?!" Luo Fei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Are you crazy?!"
"Your sister was shooting at me with a gun," Lu Sheng retorted. "I was just defending myself."
He turned on the flashlight. The light fell on the two girls in front of him. It was blinding.
"Let's find a place to rest."
