Chapter 4: Murder—So Exciting!
Lu Sheng put all the supplies into the system's storage space at once.
Ten cubic meters of space is enough to hold the goods of a small truck; this little bit of stuff doesn't even fill a corner.
On a whim, he took out the worn-out backpack from his spatial storage and casually stuffed two bottles of water and a few packets of biscuits inside, making it look bulging but not overly conspicuous.
Wealth is not exposed.
Especially in this cannibalistic apocalypse, a backpack full of supplies is a death warrant.
Having disguised himself, Lu Sheng gripped the blood-stained steel bar tightly again and walked deeper into the building.
The supplies we just scavenged, if used sparingly, will last him for half a month.
But who would complain about having too many supplies?
"Splash... splash..."
Lu Sheng slowed his pace, minimizing the sound of his footsteps wading through the water.
The enhanced perception gained from leveling up allows one to clearly detect any subtle movements within tens of meters, even in complete darkness.
Along the way, he encountered two more groups of survivors.
They were in small groups, carefully trying to pry open the locked office door, their faces filled with tension and anticipation.
Lu Sheng had no intention of contacting them.
With more people, there will be more trouble.
He moved like a ghost, silently bypassing them and targeting only the most secluded corners and quiet rooms.
He also bought several cases of bottled water, half a case of canned meat, and some miscellaneous snacks.
The locusts' passage is nothing more than this.
When Lu Sheng finished clearing the last area of this floor, he discovered that the survivors he had encountered earlier were beginning to infiltrate this area.
"Looks like all the blind boxes on this floor are almost opened."
"It's time to go upstairs and take a look."
Lu Sheng planned to go upstairs to take a look.
The elevators in the Zijin Building are out of service.
The only way to go upstairs is via the emergency staircase.
As Lu Shenggang reached the emergency staircase, three figures emerged from another corner of the staircase.
The one leading the group was none other than Wang Meng, the shirtless, burly man who had coveted his instant noodles yesterday.
He was accompanied by two young men with dyed yellow hair and a sleazy look, each carrying a bag and a fire axe in their hands.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
Wang Meng also saw Lu Sheng immediately. He was stunned at first, and then his gaze fell on Lu Sheng's bulging backpack.
Greed instantly overwhelmed all other emotions.
"Heh, what a coincidence, brother."
Wang Meng grinned, revealing what he thought was a menacing smile. He exchanged a glance with the two blond-haired men, and the three of them slowly approached Lu Sheng, surrounding him in a triangular formation.
"Looks like you've got some good stuff, kid.
He tapped his palm with the iron pipe in his hand, making a dull "bang" sound.
"Kid, leave your backpack behind, and I'll spare your life."
A blond-haired man grinned maliciously, brandishing the fire axe in his hand, and added, "And that iron rod you're holding looks pretty handy too, leave it with that."
Lu Sheng's expression remained unchanged; he simply murmured a sentence to himself.
"Dragon Eyes".
[Name: Wang Meng] [Level: Ordinary Person]...
[Name: Yellow Hair A] [Level: Ordinary Person]...
[Name: Yellow Hair B] [Level: Ordinary Person]...
Three pitifully simple messages flashed by.
They were all ordinary people.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Lu Sheng's lips as he said softly, "Alright."
Wang Meng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lu Sheng to agree so readily.
Yesterday, this kid acted like I was not to be messed with, but why is he so easy to talk to today?
Forget it, take care of him.
Just as Wang Meng was about to reach for the backpack, Lu Sheng moved!
Without warning!
He was like a fully drawn bow, suddenly tense and then released in an instant!
The water beneath his feet burst open, and his figure blurred into a blur. His target wasn't Wang Meng, but the blond-haired guy closest to him!
too fast!
The sneer on the blond man's face hadn't faded when all that remained in his pupils was a rapidly enlarging, sharp steel bar!
"Pfft!"
A dull thud as flesh was pierced.
The steel bar pierced through the yellow hair's throat and came out through the back of his neck!
Fresh blood gushed out!
Huang Mao froze, the fire axe in his hand fell into the water with a "clatter," he clutched his neck tightly, his throat making a "hoarse" sound as he breathed out, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
Wang Meng and the other blond guy were completely dumbfounded!
Before their brains could even process the information that Lu Sheng had agreed to hand over the backpack, their companion had already fallen into a pool of blood!
"You fucking want to die!"
Wang Meng was the first to react. His eyes turned bloodshot instantly, and with a roar, he swung the iron pipe at Lu Sheng's head!
"Fuck your mother!"
Another blond-haired man also came to his senses, screaming and brandishing a fire axe, slashing at Lu Sheng's waist from the other side.
However, in the face of absolute power, numbers are meaningless.
Lu Sheng didn't even look at the iron pipe that Wang Meng was throwing at him. He slightly turned his body to the side, letting the iron pipe whistle past his ear. At the same time, he raised his left foot like lightning and delivered a fierce side kick!
"Bang!"
The force of 600 jin landed squarely on the second blond-haired man's chest.
"Snap!"
The sickening sound of bones cracking was clearly audible!
The blond man's chest caved in with a visible arc, and he was sent flying backward as if hit head-on by a battering ram. He crashed into the wall five meters away, slid into the water, and fell silent.
"How is this possible??"
Wang Meng froze, the iron pipe he was swinging stopped in mid-air, and the rage on his face solidified into extreme fear.
Looking at the expressionless young man in front of him, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
monster!
This guy isn't even human!
"No...don't kill me!"
Wang Meng's legs were trembling, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Brother! I was wrong! I'll give you everything we have! Please spare my life!"
He hurriedly took off the backpack from his back and was about to hand it over.
Lu Sheng's eyes were as cold as iron.
"It's too late."
He uttered two words, took a step forward, and the steel bar in his hand transformed into a black lightning bolt.
Wang Meng only saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his forehead.
His last conscious thought was seeing the end of the steel bar pierce through his forehead.
"Thump."
The body fell into the water, splashing up a spray of blood.
[Ding! Killed 3 malicious humans, +3 energy points!]
A system notification sounded in my mind.
"Killing people... can you get energy points...?"
Lu Sheng stood in the center of the three corpses, his chest heaving violently, his heart pounding wildly.
It wasn't because of fear or guilt.
It's excitement.
An unprecedented sense of exhilaration, a feeling of controlling the life and death of others!
He looked down at his blood-stained hands, then slowly clenched them.
In this messed-up world, if you don't kill someone, someone will kill you.
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and began to examine the corpse.
After putting all the backpacks and weapons of Wang Meng and the other two into his storage space, he was preparing to leave.
suddenly!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A series of heavy, orderly footsteps came from downstairs, accompanied by clear conversation.
"The first floor is full of low-level floating corpses, not a single high-level one! But there are plenty of supplies! Old Zhao, Ali, get ready to go up to the second floor!"
It was the voice of Zhou Hai, the fleet captain!
Here they come!
Lu Sheng's pupils contracted, and he immediately looked at the three still-warm corpses at the bottom of the stairs.
The three men had already arrived, and he had no time to deal with the bodies.
"Huh? What happened here?"
