If Chen Feng wished, at the moment the opponent pulled the trigger, he could kill the man three times over. This is no exaggeration; after reaching Silver, his reaction time surpasses that of ordinary people by several times; when highly focused, he can even dodge bullets.
"Searching for food?"
The man scanned Chen Feng, his wariness gradually easing, and said, "I thought you were one of those undead guys. You’re just out here looking for food empty-handed?"
He lowered the crossbow but kept his left hand firmly on the weapon, clearly uneasy about the surroundings.
The crossbow was something the man found in a shop, not a professional killing bow, but merely an ordinary craft piece, though it still had some power.
Using the craft crossbow and some luck, the man had survived these days during the apocalypse.
"Undead? You mean zombies? Clearly, they’re corpses, but they can move. Also, how come there are no monsters in this community? Do you know anything about this?" Chen Feng asked lightly, but each word was clear.
"Yes, those undead, unless you hit their heads, no other parts can kill them. Monsters? I haven’t been here long; there’s not even a ghost in sight here."
The man’s tone was somewhat relieved, a large bag at his feet filled with supplies; today’s harvest was abundant.
The past few days had been challenging for the man. Low on food, he had to come out to find something to eat. Who knew it’d be so smooth this time, finding food without facing any danger? Rationed carefully, it’d be enough for half a month.
The man glanced at Chen Feng, only to think this young man was daring, recklessly wandering outside without even a weapon for self-defense.
Finding food improved his mood considerably. Speaking to Chen Feng, he said, "The supermarket is just ahead. There’s still plenty of food inside."
"There are still monsters lingering at the gate. There’s a short wall over there; go over it, and there’s only a small path. It’s relatively safer."
Chen Feng nodded.
Clearly, the man was also warm-hearted, pointing to the short wall not far away, part of the community’s greenbelt, surrounded by many trees and plants that blocked the view of the wall.
"Alright, I won’t say more. While it’s safe here, I plan to come back later," the man laughed, waving to Chen Feng and walking towards the wall.
Rustle...
A series of noisy footsteps.
Chen Feng turned and walked towards the supermarket. If an ordinary person could move safely here, indeed, there were no monsters at all.
Though the community is so large, not a single monster was visiting here.
Truly a strange place.
Suddenly, Chen Feng stopped in his tracks.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet. While in thought, the man’s footsteps seemingly vanished into thin air, with no sound at all.
Time slipped by slowly...
The community was silent. So much so that even the man’s presence vanished instantly without a trace.
Chen Feng paused slightly, then with a hint of curiosity, he slowly turned toward the greenbelt beside him.
He remembered clearly; after he turned away, the man’s footsteps disappeared altogether, as if he’d never been there.
Eerie.
The opponent was just an ordinary person, incapable of leaping up at once, indicating he must have encountered something to cause this.
Chen Feng was a bit curious.
He took a few steps forward, parted the grass, and opened his right hand, staying prepared for any battle. There was nothing suspicious nearby, so he moved slowly.
A curled-up figure appeared before Chen Feng.
It was that man, lying naked on the ground, skin flushed red, motionless as if asleep.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes half-shut.
Asleep?
No!
He was just...
Dead!
