Killing to Silence, Ability User!

Shen Yi used Instant Movement to dodge the sneak attack and got a clear look at his assailant.

It was a man in his thirties.

He held a baseball bat in both hands, staring at Shen Yi with a look of sheer terror.

"How is this possible?! You, you have superpowers too!?"

"Hm?"

Shen Yi, who had been preparing to shoot the man dead, paused for a second upon hearing this.

Superpowers too?

This guy knows about superpowers?

Does that mean he might know about colored fruits?

Shen Yi pointed his gun at the man and asked coldly, "Have you seen anyone else with superpowers?"

"Y-yes! I've seen them! Don't kill me!" The man swallowed nervously, nodding frantically.

He didn't know if the gun in the other person's hand was real, but seeing that he had abilities, he knew he couldn't win.

"Who is he? What ability does he use?" Shen Yi continued his interrogation.

Maybe I can get information about ability fruits from other ability users!

"She, she's a female police officer!"

The man answered fearfully.

"Police? You've seen police?"

Shen Yi frowned. This was the first he'd heard of police since the apocalypse.

Logically, the authorities should have launched rescue operations long ago, but he hadn't even seen a single police officer until now.

He even suspected that the apocalypse wasn't real; otherwise, why wouldn't the police and military care about the lives of ordinary citizens?

"Yes, I saw many police officers a few days ago!" The man quickly nodded, then explained, "On the first day the black fog appeared, someone next door was fighting, so I called the police. The police came to handle it, but it seemed like many people were calling that day, and the police left after a short while."

"In the following days, I often heard police sirens on the street, and even the sound of helicopters!"

"I was curious and went out to look. They were two police helicopters, equipped with machine guns! They seemed to be shooting at something, but I couldn't see clearly from too far away, really, I'm not lying to you!"

"Later, one of the helicopters suddenly exploded in the sky, and its wreckage fell near the Wangfujing Department Store. If you don't believe me, you can go and see. I'm definitely not lying!"

As the man explained, he slowly retreated towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Shen Yi frowned.

So, it's not that the authorities aren't rescuing, but that they were mobilized at the very beginning and were wiped out?

Even the helicopters were shot down, what kind of monster did they encounter?

Even machine guns couldn't kill it...

Shen Yi couldn't help but think of the giant bird he had seen at the school a couple of days ago.

If it was that terrifying monstrous bird, it might indeed be able to shoot down helicopters...

As for whether it could withstand machine gun fire, Shen Yi was really unsure.

Logically, a mortal body shouldn't be that tough. But thinking about his own Body Evolution ability, even at Level 1, it was already so monstrous. If it reached Level ten, or a hundred, maybe he could also withstand bullets with his body...

It seemed the post-apocalyptic world was even more dangerous than he had imagined. He would have to be more cautious in the future!

Shen Yi didn't think he could handle that giant bird, or a mutated monster as strong as it, at his current level. So, he couldn't get too arrogant just because he had a handgun.

"Where is the female police officer you mentioned who has superpowers? Is she still alive?" Shen Yi asked again, not noticing the owner's subtle movements to retreat.

"That, I don't know. She just came to my place to buy some food and water the day before yesterday..."

As the man spoke, his eyes darted around, seemingly looking towards the second floor and signaling something.

Shen Yi walked closer to the man and asked, "What is her ability?"

"She, she can turn her hands into steel, and she's incredibly strong..."

The man spoke while watching Shen Yi approach step by step.

He seemed to be anticipating his approach.

However, After a few steps, Shen Yi suddenly stopped and looked at the man, saying, "Then, one last question, have you ever seen a colored fruit?"

"Colored fruit? Wh-what is that? I haven't seen it!"

The man's eyes showed obvious panic.

He definitely has seen it!

"Understood."

Shen Yi nodded and, the next moment, pulled the trigger.

With a crisp "bang," a bloody hole appeared on the man's forehead. He fell down, his face filled with disbelief, dead.

He died with his eyes wide open!

He hadn't expected the gun in Shen Yi's hand to be real!

Even less had he expected Shen Yi to shoot directly!

After killing the man, Shen Yi's body instantly vanished from his spot.

Time passed.

About ten to twenty minutes later.

Another man poked his head out from the stairwell, cautiously surveying the first floor.

"Gone?"

The man instantly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the corpse on the first floor with a bullet hole in its head.

"Damn, who is this guy? He has a gun! Could he be a cop too?"

"Or someone from the military?"

"But there aren't any military bases near our Shancheng..."

"And this guy actually has an ability... Boss, your death wasn't in vain!"

As he was muttering to himself, the man turned his head and his eyes widened in terror.

Someone was standing in the shadow behind him!

"Holy crap!!"

He instinctively swung his fist.

As he swung, his fist transformed into an Iron Fist!

His body was also rapidly turning to steel!

This was clearly an ability!

It was just...

too slow.

"Bang!"

Shen Yi pulled the trigger. At such close range, there was no suspense; he shot the man in the head.

Before the man's head had fully turned to steel, the bullet pierced it.

To ensure the man was dead, Shen Yi fired six more shots, all to the head, emptying the magazine and riddling the man's face.

One had to be cautious when dealing with ability users!

This was Shen Yi's first time fighting an ability user, and he was nervous!

Earlier, on the first floor, Shen Yi had sensed that the middle-aged man was acting strangely. He had been trying to lure Shen Yi towards the stairwell on the second floor.

So Shen Yi guessed there might be an ambush on the second floor.

Therefore, he decided to strike first, better to kill by mistake than let him go!

After killing the middle-aged man, Shen Yi immediately used teleportation to change his position, quietly waiting for someone from the second floor to appear.

He waited for over ten minutes.

When the man on the second floor couldn't resist peeking out, Shen Yi teleported behind him again. He listened to the man's lengthy monologue before finally shooting him.

If Shen Yi hadn't wanted to hear if this man would reveal any useful information, he wouldn't have wasted his time.

As for the fact that the man was an ability user, Shen Yi wasn't surprised.

From the moment he started talking to the man on the first floor, he had noticed that the middle-aged man knew a lot about abilities. Shen Yi had even thought the middle-aged man himself was an ability user back then, which was why he deliberately got close to him to ensure a kill shot.

Shen Yi hadn't used guns much, after all. Beyond ten meters, he might miss.

Handguns weren't that easy to control...

"Hoo..."

It was Shen Yi's first time killing someone, and he only felt his heart racing and adrenaline surging.

But he felt no fear, only excitement!

Perhaps, deep down, he wasn't a quiet, honest person!

He glanced at the man's corpse on the ground. Upon death, the steel on his body disappeared, and his ability was deactivated.

After confirming the target was dead, Shen Yi switched to a full magazine and began checking the rooms on the second floor.

Since he had decided to kill, he would finish the job and leave no loose ends!

Shen Yi heard sounds coming from a room at the end of the corridor, so he walked over, gun in hand.

He cautiously pushed the door open.

However, the scene inside the room made him frown, and he lowered his gun.
