Chapter 1 Howl

A beastly roar suddenly erupted, and a butcher, wielding a large iron hook, charged head-on toward Su Mo and the others.

"Careful, it's a Butcher!"

Zhou Qian's heart leaped into her throat.

Su Mo raised the gun in his hand, firing a series of shots at the Butcher's head!

Bang! Bang!

Two shots shattered the fleshy excess on its face, exposing the bone beneath. Three more shots completely blew its head apart.

The bulky Butcher swayed, then crashed heavily to the ground.

The whole process caused no real damage to them.

"Awesome! As expected of Su Mo."

"So cool!"

Qin Wang and the others, watching Su Mo's clean and efficient combat, felt their blood boil, and shouted excitedly.

"Zi Nuo, are the other mecha pilots in our group this awesome?"

Zhou Qian, watching Su Mo's crisp and clean technique, asked, her throat a little dry.

"You know the skill level of the mecha pilots in our group. They can take down a Butcher, but to do it so effortlessly, with just a few shots? Forget it. I reckon even the mecha pilots in Group 1 aren't necessarily as strong as Su Mo."

Lin Zi Nuo responded with great certainty.

Zhou Qian then lowered her voice and said to Zi Nuo, "Then we have to be careful, lest we get poached by Group 1. Don't forget, poaching within the same legion doesn't require compensation."

"I know."

Lin Zi Nuo felt a little uneasy after hearing Zhou Qian's words.

However, just as they were approaching the edge of the town, the mecha at the front suddenly stopped.

Then the cockpit opened, and Su Mo climbed out.

"Su Mo, why aren't you driving?"

Zhou Qian and the others were stunned.

"Out of fuel."

Su Mo deftly reloaded the QBz-171 in his hand.

"Ah, what do we do now? Those zombies are coming!"

Zhou Qian and the others were dumbfounded.

"Follow me, shake them off, otherwise, the more we kill, the more there will be."

After speaking, Su Mo ran directly to the side.

Lin Zi Nuo and the others were speechless, and quickly followed.

Originally, Su Mo had hoped that the mecha's fuel would be enough to charge straight in, saving them a lot of trouble, but things didn't go as planned.

Soon after, Su Mo and his dozen or so companions appeared in a small alley.

Su Mo cautiously stuck close to the wall, looking out onto the street.

On the silent street, large numbers of zombies wandered about, searching for food.

"Where are we going now?"

Lin Zi Nuo asked Su Mo in a low voice.

"To the public bus station. If it's a station, maybe we can find some fuel and see if we can restart the mecha."

Su Mo stated his idea.

"You shouldn't hold out hope for that. Mechas don't use ordinary fuel, but a military-grade special synthetic fuel. You can usually only find it at supply bases or special buildings."

Lin Zi Nuo directly extinguished Su Mo's fantasy.

Su Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, let's search the nearby buildings first, see if we can find some supplies and a map, so we can determine our location."

"Okay."

Lin Zi Nuo nodded.

Then, Su Mo found an opportunity, led Lin Zi Nuo and the others across the street, and they quickly entered a two-story house.

After entering the house, Zhou Qian closed the door as quickly as possible.

Su Mo, holding his gun, roughly searched all the rooms and corners of the house, confirming that there were no zombies or monsters hiding inside.

After confirming that it was safe, Lin Zi Nuo said to Qin Wang and the others.

"Search the house carefully again, see if there's anything useful."

"Okay."

Qin Wang and the other lifestyle players immediately scattered, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

It had to be said, everyone in the Dawn Guild who was a lifestyle player was an expert. Soon, everything of value in the house had been turned out.

A pile of gold and silver jewelry, canned food, and some trinkets.

"Sister Zi Nuo, that's it, there's nothing else."

Qin Wang shook his head and said.

"That's normal. It would be a miracle if we found anything good right away."

Lin Zi Nuo was not annoyed or disappointed.

"It doesn't matter, we'll go out the back door. There are many more houses behind."

Su Mo stood by the window next to the back door, looking outside.

The buildings in the town were not quite the same as those in the city. The city had buildings with many residents.

Here, basically every family had a detached house, and they were clustered together.

"Well, let's do that, keep searching!"

Lin Zi Nuo agreed.

Several hours later, Su Mo and his group were hiding in a very ordinary house.

They were counting their gains from the search. They didn't know until they counted, but they were shocked by the results: piles of gold and silver jewelry.

"This is a miracle, this town looks unremarkable, how can every household be so rich?"

Zhou Qian said in surprise.

"I'll convert these gold and silver jewelry into gold and silver points. When this mission is over, I'll tally up all the earnings and distribute them to everyone according to the shares. Whether they're alive or dead, all our companions will get some, as an extra subsidy. Do you have any objections?"

Lin Zi Nuo said to everyone. Normally, these earnings would have to be handed over to the guild. However, the guild also had a tacitly understood rule: generally, small rewards would be divided privately to subsidize them.

"Whatever Sister Zi Nuo says."

Zhou Qian replied with a smile.

"Okay, that's settled then. Let's stop searching here for today, we'll rest here for a while."

After speaking, Lin Zi Nuo converted all the gold and silver jewelry into gold and silver points.

"Okay!"

Zhou Qian and the others responded.

"Since we're staying here, I'll patrol the surroundings to make sure there's no danger."

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then suggested.

"Alright, thanks for your hard work. Use this gun."

Lin Zi Nuo took off a maxin9 limited edition integrated silenced pistol from her waist and tossed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo caught the pistol, looked it over, and it was full of technology and felt great in his hand.

"Okay."

Su Mo left with the silenced pistol.

"Not bad, isn't that your favorite pistol? You're willing to give it away."

Zhou Qian winked at Lin Zi Nuo, teasing her.

Lin Zi Nuo rolled her eyes at Zhou Qian and replied, "I'm just lending it to him. I can't let him use a rifle when he encounters enemies, can I? If that attracts a bunch of zombies, how are we supposed to rest?"

"Okay, okay, you're right."

Zhou Qian replied with a smile.

Thump, thump~~

A rapid sound of footsteps descending the stairs, accompanied by a shout, rang out.

"Sister Zi Nuo."

"What's wrong?"

Zi Nuo raised her head in confusion, looking at her panicked sister.

"We saw a mummy in the attic."

The sister said a little flustered.

"Go take a look."

Lin Zi Nuo frowned slightly and walked upstairs. Mummies were rare these days; most people had mutated.
