Chapter 108: Javelin

“We just need to pass through two more streets, and then we will arrive.” Lee DingXiang said happily to Liu Gan. She could only recognize the place by looking for familiar buildings.

Once they reached the street where the Fortune and Youth supermarket was located, she could enter the few large pharmacies to retrieve the special medicine for her sister.

After passing the intersection up ahead, the surroundings suddenly grew colder. The amount of zombies also decreased significantly. There were a large amount of rotting corpses on the ground, as if someone had been through here massacring zombies.

In this post-apocalyptic world, it was very dangerous, but this was especially true when humans were involved. Therefore, Liu Gan had to be extra careful. With his current strength, Normal people who wanted to attack him wouldn’t be able to with his current strength. However, he still had to protecting the squad’s safety, so it was better to be safe.

“There are hundreds of thousands of players entering the game, and there should be many local survivors like these sisters. The supermarket they want to reach is up ahead. If I had to guess, that area is a hotspot worth fighting for.” Zhang ShengLi walked up and whispered to Liu Gan.

“You have a point there.” Liu Gan nodded.

“Since the nearby streets have been cleared by people, that would mean the Fortune and Youth supermarket could be occupied already.” Zhang ShengLi said as he placed the backpack he had been holding in his hands on the ground. He had a backpack in his hands and on his back since his role was to carry the bags.

“This is unavoidable. Along our way over here, I was thinking about that, too.” Liu Gan scouted left and right, as if he felt something was terribly wrong.

“What are you planning to do?” Zhang ShengLi asked.

“If the supermarket has been taken over, then the only way to get the food is to steal…” Liu Gan replied staring at Zhang ShengLi.

“No matter what you do, I will support you.” Zhang ShengLi said as if he knew that Liu Gan was testing his reactions.

Ever since Zhang ShengNan and Hu Rong died, Zhang ShengLi had been in deep introspection. He realized that everything Liu Gan had said was correct. Using rules from the real world as a standard in [The Trembling World] was a mistake. They had to do everything that they could to survive here. Even if those were things they never wanted to or were unable to do before, they had to be done. Otherwise, only death awaited.

Therefore, whatever Liu Gan decided to do, all ShengLi had to do was suppress his inner moral compass for good and evil.

“Great, as long as the opposition knows what’s best for them and accepts my terms of agreement to share some food with us, I won’t make things difficult. But if they aren’t willing to share, then I can only vanquish those who stand in my way! I’ve already come this far, so I don’t want to return empty handed.” Liu Gan said as he clenched his fist in preparation for battle if it really came down to it.

“Okay, you are the squad leader, so I will support you unconditionally.” Zhang ShengLi said in a whisper and lowered his head. Right now, he couldn’t be of any value in his current condition while staying at Liu Gan’s side. Even if Liu Gan were to fight in the supermarket, he would likely not be able to offer any assistance.

The faint shadow of a person suddenly appeared in a nearby dim alleyway, and it kept waving at Liu Gan’s squad signaling them enter the alleyway. Liu Gan raised his eyebrow, and right when he wanted to ask the shadowy person ‘what it was that he wanted’, a few bamboo sticks pierced through the air straight at Liu Gan. They were the type that had the front end sharpened, and it was made out of bamboo! This bamboo javelin was clearly thrown from on top of one of the roofs.
