This behavior, for Su Ling who had gone through the apocalypse, was nothing new.
However, for Gu Shangse, who had just experienced the end of the world, it was utterly outrageous.
It was clear that the person feeding the zombies had discovered their actions had been exposed and had hidden themselves.
Su Ling's eyes were ice-cold as she looked at the female zombie struggling on the bed. She entered the room, carrying her Tang dao.
With a swift strike of the blade, without a moment's hesitation, the female zombie's head was severed from its body.
As the female zombie's head fell to the ground, it rolled a few times on the blood-stained floor before stopping at Su Ling's feet.
Su Ling raised the Tang dao in her hand and cleaved down, splitting the zombie's head in two, revealing a blue crystal core.
Bending down, Su Ling picked up the blue crystal core.
It was at this moment that she discovered eyes watching her and Gu Shangse from somewhere.
Without showing any reaction, Su Ling picked up the crystal core and looked at Gu Shangse.
While she appeared to be looking at Gu Shangse, she was actually looking at a spot behind him.
Su Ling was certain that the eyes she had just seen belonged to a room with its door ajar, located behind Gu Shangse.
However, after checking a few rooms with Gu Shangse, they had found nothing.
Could it be that the owner of this room had awakened an ability, concealed themselves, and masked their aura?
The reason Su Ling had this suspicion was because there were indeed survivors with such abilities after the apocalypse.
They could conceal their aura, blend in with their surroundings, go unnoticed by zombies, and were difficult for other survivors to detect. This was an excellent ability, one that many survivors desired.
Furthermore, this was merely the early stage of the apocalypse, and the survivor in the room could already meld with their environment, indicating a strong power.
Su Ling finally understood why the zombies downstairs had been cleared without any signs of a struggle.
A person hiding in the dark, blending with the environment, could act with impunity, free from influence and control.
Given time, once they became powerful, they would be invincible.
Thinking of this, Su Ling felt a shiver down her spine.
Was it possible that the moment Gu Shangse appeared at the shop, danger had also arrived?
But why didn't the other party subdue Gu Shangse when he was alone? Since the other party was feeding the female zombie, they would have a significant need for survivors.
And the cake in the shop downstairs was the bait.
She had been careless!
With this thought, Su Ling continued to look at Gu Shangse and then walked towards him, carrying her Tang dao.
Gu Shangse sensed that Su Ling's gaze towards him was unusual. He remained silent, simply observing what she would do.
Su Ling arrived beside Gu Shangse but did not stop. Instead, she continued to advance.
As she got closer to that door, Su Ling's perception became even stronger and more distinct.
She could even feel a gust of wind rushing towards her.
Wind?
Su Ling's eyes sharpened, and she swung the Tang dao in her hand.
*Slash.*
*Mmm.*
*Thud.*
*Clatter.*
Four sounds echoed simultaneously. At the same moment, the room, which had only contained Su Ling, Gu Shangse, and a dog, suddenly gained a third person.
On the floor in front of Su Ling, a man knelt, clutching his abdomen.
Su Ling's blade had directly sliced through his abdomen, causing him to bleed profusely.
Not far from where the man knelt, a sharp kitchen knife fell to the ground.
Gu Shangse's reflexes were swift. He picked up the kitchen knife and stood beside Su Ling.
Although he didn't understand how the man had hidden himself, he could guess it was likely the man's ability.
The scent of blood hung heavy in the air. The man's abdomen was severely wounded, and blood stained the floor.
The man looked up, his face slightly pale, and said to Su Ling and Gu Shangse, "She is dead by your hands, and I have no reason to live. Kill me!"
