Chapter 168 – The City Goes Berserk

Seeing Su Lifeng come upstairs alone, Su Lian froze. Before she could ask, she heard Su Lifeng leave behind only one sentence. “Be careful.” Then came the sound of the door closing.

“Did Ge get rejected? No way, right?” Su Lian was somewhat surprised. But very soon, she stopped thinking about it. The moment Su Lifeng went out, she immediately pulled up the surveillance feed. This place was equivalent to their safe house, so checking the situation from time to time was something they had to do every day.

Su Lifeng drove out in that extremely eye-catching off-road vehicle. In Lv Zifeng’s eyes, the vehicle was more than enough to be called a sincere gift, but in Su Lifeng’s eyes, it was still not much different from a means of transportation. Its only convenient point was that even if some places were blocked by one or two vehicles, he could squeeze directly through, or even ram through.

Only after heading out did Su Lifeng realize that the place where the black smoke was rising was still rather far from the neighborhood where he lived. More importantly, it had already reached the edge of Gouzi’s territory.

In truth, the so-called territory was simply a search area divided up by these Mutants. Most people had not even reacted by the moment the apocalypse erupted, let alone stored supplies in advance. So while someone like Su Lifeng did not lack food, for everyone else, apart from facing the threat of Xenospecies and being forced to hunt Xenospecies in order to survive, their most important activity was searching for food.

And finding food in a city that had already been swept once by survivors and the military was no less difficult than fighting a Xenospecies to the death.

Perhaps because the black smoke had drawn most of the Xenospecies, Su Lifeng floored the accelerator all the way over. Aside from two Xenospecies that suddenly leapt onto the roof and hood of his vehicle one after another, then were thrown off by him, he did not encounter any large-scale Xenospecies attack.

The Xenospecies that jumped onto his hood was even shot full of holes by the submachine gun, which fired automatically after he pressed a button, before it fell away. As he ran over the corpse, the vehicle jolted, and Su Lifeng also felt his heart seem to tighten. This was the apocalypse. The process from killing people before to mercilessly driving over corpses now had happened far too quickly.

But forget that the other side was a Xenospecies wearing human skin. Even if it had truly been a human, if it dared provoke him, he still would not show mercy.

The Xenospecies he had absorbed during this period made Su Lifeng feel that his body seemed to have reached a critical point in its evolution. Faint warmth kept spreading from every part of his body, but it was still just a little short.

While he was thinking that, Su Lifeng noticed a pharmacy. He stomped down on the brake and stopped by the roadside.

This was a large pharmacy. Su Lifeng still remembered that when he had come here before, there had been a round-faced sales assistant, tiny and very cute, and also very warmhearted. Hopefully she had already escaped to the Quarantine Zone… Su Lifeng suddenly felt a strong sense that everything had changed, but the thought lasted only an instant before he had already walked inside carefully.

At this point, entering any unfamiliar building required extreme caution, and even Su Lifeng was no exception. After Xenospecies evolved that infection ability, the threat to Mutants like Su Lifeng had increased dramatically. A tiny wound could lead to extremely serious consequences.

Inside the pharmacy, shelves lay in disarray, and the counters had almost all been smashed. Even the original rolling shutter looked as if it had been forcibly pulled up. Su Lifeng observed from the doorway for a while before slowly walking deeper inside.

“They cleaned this place out thoroughly enough…” As he looked left and right, Su Lifeng discovered that most common medicines had been almost completely emptied. Still, many medicines that saw less frequent use were scattered messily through the wreckage. Su Lifeng carefully identified the ones he needed among the debris, then picked them up and put them into his backpack.

“Let’s see if I can find a bottle of hydrogen peroxide…” Just then, Su Lifeng suddenly heard a very faint sound outside. He considered it for barely a second before immediately turning and rushing out.

As he was about to reach the main entrance, Su Lifeng turned without thinking and pressed himself against the doorway. A Shadowy Figure stabbed past almost right along his body.

Buzz!

A very short arrow nailed itself into a shelf and was still trembling slightly.

Su Lifeng froze for a moment as he looked at that arrow. It was hard to imagine that this one arrow had just made him foresee disaster…

Although he had dodged it in time, he had also seen in the Precognitive Vision what would have happened if he had been hit. Anger instantly shot up from the bottom of his heart.

“Damn it, looks like I missed. Wang Chuan, hurry up and get the car door open!” A male student holding a crossbow stared blankly at his arrow landing empty, then quickly urged the companion beside him.

There were several other people with him, both male and female, and none of them were very old. This group had just been across the street. At first, when they saw the vehicle Su Lifeng was driving, they had only exclaimed in amazement. But when they then saw Su Lifeng actually stop and enter the pharmacy, greedy thoughts had arisen in the male student holding the crossbow.

Su Lifeng hid beside the door. His mind quickly analyzed this group’s purpose. But he had not expected that for nothing more than a vehicle, the other side would try to kill without saying a word, without even the slightest hesitation!

Cars were everywhere on the street. His vehicle merely looked a bit more formidable. And with such an obvious military-vehicle style, their courage was really something.

So far, although Su Lifeng had killed quite a few people, he had never killed anyone out of personal desire. Perhaps the time he helped the Ningnan military could count as one instance. But even without him, Ningnan and Shencheng still would have clashed over the issue of power.

“The one using the arrows is the most troublesome. Deal with him first.” Su Lifeng took a deep breath and prepared to go out.

“Weiliao, where is he?” the crossbow youth asked anxiously at that moment.

A short-haired girl hiding not far behind him had her eyes wide open as she stared into the pharmacy. She said, “He isn’t injured. He’s still hiding there, but his body temperature suddenly started climbing. He should be coming out. Careful… now!”

As Weiliao’s voice fell, the crossbow youth immediately fired two arrows in succession.

Su Lifeng had not expected two arrows to come flying straight at him the moment he came out, and his heart jolted in surprise.

If this had been before, he could only have taken the two arrows head-on. But judging by how deeply the previous arrow had pierced, even if his Bone Wings could block them, they would definitely be injured. Su Lifeng was in a very bad mood right now. He did not want to be wounded by these people.

“Time stop!”

Su Lifeng did not hesitate in the slightest. The arrows in front of his eyes immediately slowed, as if in slow motion!
