Chapter 84: Chapter Eighty-Four: Hatred
 

“`

At this moment, inside the Wood Spirit Space, Grandma Li Xiuying and Grandpa Lin Yunguo were staring dumbfounded at the 10 brand-new vehicles that had seemingly fallen from the sky. Had their granddaughter gone and robbed another car dealership?

Lately, the two of them had grown accustomed to occasionally seeing various things dropping from above onto the stone platform that served as the entrance to the space. The first few times it was daily necessities, food, and even frozen foods, apparently also including tobacco and alcohol, oh yes, and there were also two large oil drums. And now, cars?

Lin Yunguo: “Our Xiao Jin seems to be looting quite a lot of stuff.”

Li Xiuying: “What nonsense you’re talking; how is this looting? It’s being resourceful. Think about it, all those things that nobody wants and can’t be taken away. Such a waste.”

Lin Yunguo: “Alright, alright, you’re always right. Let’s go back to fishing.”

Li Xiuying: “You fish. I’m going back to watch TV.”

…

On the outside of the space, Su Jin and her two companions had finished collecting the vehicles and were planning to head back, but Guo Yang seemed a bit reluctant to leave.

“Little sister, look at me, my space is so empty, there’s nothing in it, can we not go and loot—oh no, collect some things?”

“Sure, where to?” Su Jin was completely unopposed; her space could hold a lot too.

“There’s a shopping mall next to our company, if you two don’t mind…”

“Let’s go, we’ll head to the place you mentioned,” Lu Hao decided immediately.

“Alrighty, hold tight~” As a Space Element Ability User, the emptiness of his space always made Guo Yang anxious. What use was a Space Element Ability User with an empty space?

Since the Apocalypse had occurred on a weekday evening, there weren’t many zombies inside the mall. However, the sight of the dried bloodstains and rotting corpses on the ground was still nauseating. Due to the power outage, the mall was devoid of any ventilation system and the stench of blood and decay was overwhelming, nearly making the trio vomit.

Su Jin took out three face masks and handed them to the others. Guo Yang gratefully accepted, thinking how convenient it was to have stuff in your space, unlike him, who only had a Fortune God statue in his.

The second floor of the mall was a supermarket, where several zombie bodies lay across the ground. It seemed someone else had been there before them.

Sure enough, just as the three were preparing to walk up the stalled escalator, several men in security uniforms appeared above, each holding a weapon. Seeing the trio trying to come up, they shouted, “This place is already under our control, no need for you to come up!”

The three exchanged glances but did not immediately leave. Guo Yang shouted to those above, “We’re not here to rob anything, just to buy some food for us three to eat, we can pay.”

“No way, no matter how much money, we won’t sell. Get out of here,” the ones upstairs were clearly unwilling to negotiate.

People who took control of a mall supermarket in the Apocalypse? Su Jin had never heard of such a thing. She really wanted to see who had the ability to take over such a large supermarket.

Su Jin and Lu Hao ignored the security guards and walked up, Guo Yang hurried after them.

“You lot, don’t be foolish!” The security guards cursed loudly as the trio ignored their warnings.

“Let them come up!”

The voice of a middle-aged man echoed from the back, and the security guards at the elevator entrance reluctantly made way.

The three walked up the escalator and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a middle-aged man sitting at the supermarket entrance, holding an electric baton and glaring at them with ill intent.

However, Su Jin noticed the group huddled behind him, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands – a mix of ordinary citizens including middle-aged individuals and students, about thirty people in total.

“I’m the head of the security team here, and you people who want something for nothing, if you kneel and beg me, I might consider giving you a pack of biscuits,” the security team leader laughed, his yellow teeth on full display. The girl in the middle looked especially good; just now, he and his brothers had caught two female students to enjoy, but this girl seemed even more tender than those two, just the thought of it filled him with pleasure.

Watching them stare at Su Jin, Lu Hao coldly stepped in front of her.

“Bro, what’s the time to be protective of a woman? You better take care of yourself!”

After the security team leader said this, the other security guards behind him laughed along.

The guards had been the supermarket’s security team before the Apocalypse and had been living in the dorms behind the mall. After killing a few colleagues who had turned into zombies, they took over the supermarket entirely, catching anyone who tried to get anything from it.

As the security team leader spoke, two girls at the corner clenched their fists angrily.

No one noticed that one of the girls had a deep, bone-visible wound on her leg, and she was secretly smearing the dark blood from the wall onto her injury with the hand behind her back!

Apart from the tears, her eyes were full of hatred.

Determined, she glared at the uniformed men, vowing that even if she turned into a zombie, she would not let them go!
