Chapter 7: Hidden Mission_2

Looking around, although the items on the shelves were disheveled, there were actually quite a lot of them.

It showed that the arrival of this disaster was very sudden, and people did not even have time to stock up on supplies.

"Alright, let's split into two groups to search for the supplies we need."

After the three of them had recovered a little, Ree Shil divided the four of them into two groups.

Straw Man and Mossy Mushroom were somewhat unreliable, so he felt more at ease with Little Apricot in his group.

"Big brother, let's go over there."

Moreover, Little Apricot was very familiar with the layout here and pointed out the direction to the dry food area.

"Let's go then."

Having not eaten much, he felt a little hungry.

Three weeks after the incident, the only edible things in the supermarket were those with intact packaging.

After eating a little on the spot, the two of them began to gather supplies.

Since they had a car, Little Apricot abandoned her small cloth bag and started filling several large plastic bags.

She didn't choose the delicious-looking snacks; instead, she filled the bags with practical items like compressed biscuits, dried meat, and canned food.

"How many survivors are there in your camp?"

"A total of 15 people."

"Where is it, and is it far from here?"

"It's quite far, in a building by the sea."

"By the sea?"

"Yes, Zombie Beasts don't like water and can't swim, so if something happens, we can escape to the sea."

During the process of gathering supplies, Ree Shil learned more information from Little Apricot's mouth.

It turned out that this was an island city, with the city occupying more than 90% of the island.

These group of survivors happened to be at sea for different reasons when the Zombie Beast outbreak occurred.

When they returned to the shoreline port, they discovered that the entire city had fallen.

There were strong winds and waves in the nearby waters, so no one could traverse them without a big enough boat, and none of them knew how to operate one or had enough manpower to operate one either.

With no other choice, the group of survivors joined forces and set up a camp in a small building near the port.

Although there is still power in some parts of the city, electronic networks and communication had been completely paralyzed for an unknown reason.

So, no one knows the situation outside the island or whether Zombie Beasts have erupted elsewhere.

On the other hand, the combination of Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man was also gathering supplies.

Compared with Ree Shil's group, their actions were indeed unreliable.

Straw Man disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Mossy Mushroom was looking for mushrooms near the dry goods area of the supermarket entrance.

"The taste is not bad, but it's a little hard to chew."

Mossy Mushroom opened a bag of packaging and tried the taste.

"This can be used to make mushroom soup."

"This one can be used for mushroom fried rice."

"Add two more sausages, not bad."

As he walked, he reached a corner, but when he turned around, he saw three young boys, blocking him against the wall in an encircling manner.

"Huh?! Who... Who are you?"

Mossy Mushroom was taken aback, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, there were more survivors in this supermarket.

However, the appearances of these three guys made it clear that they were not up to any good.

They were dressed in street racing attire, one of them holding a spiked club while the other two held spray shotguns.

It should be known that in this apocalyptic-like context, survivors can sometimes be more dangerous than Zombie Beasts.

"Who are you?"

"Have you seen a thin-faced little lady with a sallow complexion?"

"Speak up, or don't blame us for being rude."

At this time, the Ghostfire Brothers were looking down at him menacingly.

"Huh? What little girl?"

Mossy Mushroom's first reaction was to pretend to be dumb.

His intuition told him that these three people must be after Little Apricot.

However, Little Apricot was related to their hidden mission, and she must not be taken away by others.

Just at this moment, he peered through the gap between the three of them and saw Straw Man approaching in the distance.

"You one stick, I one stick, grass~"

"You one stick, I one stick, grass~"

At this time, Straw Man was holding two ice creams, happily singing.

One of them was white milk tea flavored, for himself.

The other was green matcha flavored, dipped in a large amount of mustard, which he prepared to share with Mossy Mushroom.

"What's going on, grass?"

However, he soon noticed Mossy Mushroom's predicament.

One mushroom, one grass, their gaze met, and they quickly communicated through eye contact.

Mossy Mushroom: Hurry, go inform Ree Shil to come over and think of a way to save me!

Straw Man: OKK!

It seemed that he had understood Mossy Mushroom's eyes; Straw Man quickly turned around and ran.

"Sigh..."

This made Mossy Mushroom breathe a sigh of relief.

"What are you daydreaming about? I'm talking to you!"

The young boy leading the group was getting impatient.

"Huh? What did you ask just now?"

Mossy Mushroom played dumb, but there was a hint of sharpness hidden in his eyes.

All he needed to do now was to delay time.

When Ree Shil arrived later, they could form a 3V3 alliance and have a good chance of winning.

However, only a few dozen seconds later, Straw Man returned without disappointing Mossy Mushroom.

Only, upon closer inspection, Ree Shil was not beside him.

"You one stick, I one stick, grass~"

Instead, he was holding three more ice creams in his hands.

Mossy Mushroom: "..."

Mossy Mushroom: "..."

Mossy Mushroom: "..."

It's over.

He slapped his forehead, knowing that this guy was unreliable.

"Huh? There's another one here!"

The Ghostfire Brothers also noticed Straw Man, and their expressions became more serious.

"Ghostfire big brother?"

However, at this moment, Little Apricot's doubtful voice came from the other side.
