Even a creature as tough as the crawler could be split in two by Zhang Chen.
What about these ordinary people?
Even if they were exceptionally strong, they were still only at human levels!
"Please... please don't kill me..."
The only remaining person was a doll-faced Japanese woman, her face pale with terror at the scene before her!
Her voice trembled slightly as she pleaded in Mandarin.
"Huh? You speak Mandarin?"
Zhang Chen paused, surprised.
"Y-yes... I'm an exchange student from Japan..."
"My name is Minako... in Chinese, my name is Li Xue!"
"Actually, I don't know these three people very well... I just met them on the way!"
"They said they couldn't understand the chat in this area, so they asked me to translate!"
"I actually like China very much, and I like Chinese people..."
"They wanted to force me to go to the Japanese area, but I refused..."
"Please believe me, I'm not with them!"
Minako begged, her voice on the verge of tears.
"The Japanese area? What does that mean?"
Zhang Chen keenly caught important information from Minako's words!
"It's like this, all the chat in this area is currently from Chinese people, which means that most of the people nearby are also Chinese!"
"But according to those three people, they came from the other side of the river."
"Everyone on the other side speaks Japanese, and they thought this area would be the same!"
"Unexpectedly, the language was different..."
Minako, shivering with fear, answered Zhang Chen's questions without reservation.
"Why did they come from the other side of the river?"
Zhang Chen asked again.
"This... they didn't tell me..."
"But I overheard them talking!"
"It seems like the other side of the river is mostly residential areas, with few hiding places and not much supplies!"
"Some of them looked at the map of Tianyang City and discovered that this side of the river is the commercial center!"
"They thought there would be more food and hiding places here, so they came to scout it out!"
"I'm telling the truth, please let me go!"
Minako pleaded with her eyes full of begging.
"I can let you go, but you have to hand over anything valuable you have, and then you can leave!"
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
"Ah? I... I really don't have much..."
Minako looked innocent.
"It doesn't matter, if I kill you, I can still get the items from your storage ring!"
"Then I'll know if you were telling the truth!"
Zhang Chen said with a cold face.
"Don't... don't..."
Upon hearing that Zhang Chen intended to kill her, Minako panicked immediately.
She hastily began to pull things out of her storage ring.
As she took them out, she said:
"Please... please don't kill me... I'll give you everything I have!"
"This is all I have, please... please accept it..."
Zhang Chen looked down at the items on the ground:
[Sailor Uniform] *1, [Cute Cat-Ear Girl Cosplay Outfit] *1, [Frying Pan] *1, [Vibrating Unknown Ball] *1, [Columnar Unknown Object] *1, [Cup Noodles] *3, [Carbonated Drinks] *5, [Energy Crystal Core] *1, [Mutated Fertilizer] *5.
"That's it?"
Zhang Chen's face darkened.
"Is this woman an idiot?"
"It's the apocalypse, why collect a pile of clothes?"
"Who are you wearing them for?"
"Also..."
"The system is too unintelligent!"
"There are even unidentified items?"
"What is this vibrating unknown ball, and the unknown columnar object..."
"It can't even identify them?!"
"I can see them perfectly fine?!"
Zhang Chen reached out and picked up the [Cup Noodles] *3, [Carbonated Drinks] *5, and [Energy Crystal Core] *1.
"I'll take these three. You can take the rest!"
"You can go now!"
Minako looked troubled.
Without food and water, how would she survive?
But seeing the still-dripping Tang sword in Zhang Chen's hand, she dared not argue.
After storing the remaining items, she bowed to Zhang Chen several times before running away without looking back.
Zhang Chen turned and placed his hands one by one on the corpses of the three Japanese people on the ground.
"Collect!"
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining:"
[Energy Crystal Core] *125+25, [Mutated Fertilizer] *890, [Clean Fabric] *432, [Sharp Katana] *3, [Vibrating Unknown Object] *3, [Red Candle] *35, [Sturdy Rope] *7, [Cup Noodles] *35, [Bottled Sake] *24, [Indecent Video] *32, [Storage Ring Fragment] *73.
After collecting the resources, Zhang Chen did not drive away immediately.
Instead, he quietly followed in the direction Minako had fled!
The reason Zhang Chen let her go was not out of mercy.
He deliberately let her go to see if what she said was true!
People lie.
Even in peacetime, liars are everywhere.
Let alone this apocalypse where everyone is on edge!
To easily believe what others say is idiocy!
No matter how sincere Minako had seemed just now, Zhang Chen didn't believe a word of it!
After all, Zhang Chen had already entered the awakened stage.
Compared to Minako, who was just an ordinary person, their strength was in completely different leagues.
Zhang Chen could easily sense Minako's heavy breathing and the sound of her hurried footsteps.
But Minako had no idea that Zhang Chen was only a few dozen meters behind her!
Minako ran a distance of three to four hundred meters in one breath and looked back.
Confirming that Zhang Chen wasn't following, she leaned against a street lamp pole to rest for a moment.
Shortly after, her expression suddenly froze.
She paused for about ten seconds!
Zhang Chen knew that during this period of dazed expression, she was communicating with someone through the chat interface.
Because the system interface appeared out of thin air on the retina, when a person's attention was focused on the interface on their retina, they would appear dazed to others.
Minako rested for a while longer.
Her expression instantly changed.
Previously, Minako had been flustered and timid, like a startled fawn.
Now, her demeanor had completely shifted. Her expression was calm and collected, with a glint of cunning and arrogance in her eyes!
This woman was indeed suspicious!
Everything just now was an act!
Minako waited by the roadside for a while.
Ten minutes later.
An off-road vehicle came driving furiously.
A zombie, hit by the car, was sprawled on the hood.
Due to the high speed, inertia kept the zombie pinned to the engine hood.
*Screech*
As soon as the off-road vehicle stopped.
The zombie was flung forward.
At the same time, two Japanese men got out of the car, dressed similarly to the previous three.
One of them helped Minako into the car.
The other got out and cleanly used his katana to pierce the zombie's head!
Then, with a gesture.
The zombie's corpse instantly disappeared!
Zhang Chen knew it had been collected and recycled!
