Pitiful Woman, Female Cop!

Shen Yi cautiously pushed open the door to the second-floor room.

Only then did he see it.

Inside was a male corpse, along with a middle-aged woman who was completely naked, covered in wounds, and chained to the bed with a dog leash.

The woman had clearly been tortured severely; even her breathing was weak.

"Those two really weren't the supermarket owners!"

Shen Yi had actually suspected it long ago.

A normal shop owner, even with plenty of food, would never try to kill a stranger right away.

Even if that stranger had stolen something from the store, they still would not resort to murder.

Just like how Shen Yi had not killed the fat pig who had insulted him.

How could an ordinary person simply kill someone whenever they felt like it?

Only people who had killed before, or committed evil deeds, could be so ruthless!

For example, now that Shen Yi had officially killed someone, if he faced that fat pig who had insulted him again, he would definitely take her out without mercy!

Once the shackles of morality were removed, it became difficult to be bound by them again.

"Those two must have been criminals or fugitives of some kind... They had no bottom line."

He had no idea how they had gotten into the supermarket, but in any case, they had killed the real owner, taken over the place, and seized the owner's wife as well.

Shen Yi stepped forward and glanced at the still-unconscious owner's wife. He removed her chains, left behind some snacks and water, then departed.

Even if the pitiful woman woke up, she probably would not live much longer.

Her body was covered in cigarette burns and injuries from beatings. One of her arms had even been broken. Unless she was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment, there was little chance of saving her.

But Shen Yi's kindness extended only as far as removing her restraints. He could not be bothered with anything else.

He thought the woman was pitiful, but he would not suddenly become charitable because of it.

He was not a good person.

After all, at the beginning, when he had not been sure whether the middle-aged man was the supermarket owner, Shen Yi had planned to steal everything and kill him to silence him.

He had simply not expected that he had happened to kill two bad people.

As for whether the information that bad man had given him was accurate, Shen Yi was not sure.

Still, he could believe seventy or eighty percent of it.

For instance, when the Black Fog had first appeared, the police had come out to maintain order, and helicopters had been dispatched to fight some kind of monsters. That was probably true.

If he wanted to verify it, he could find time to visit Wangfujing Department Store and see whether there were any crashed helicopter wrecks.

But it was most likely the truth.

After all, there had been no reason for that man to make up so many things just to deceive him.

As for the female police officer with an ability, that might have been fabricated.

After all, the ability to turn one's body into steel had belonged to the man on the second floor.

Still, none of that information had much to do with him anyway. Whether it was true or false did not matter; he would just treat it as intelligence gathering.

Just as he walked out of the supermarket, the phone in Shen Yi's pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and saw that Jiangnan Yan was calling.

After answering, Jiangnan Yan's voice came through.

"Husband, that group of thugs broke in. They're forcing open the doors of the other residents."

"Mm, I know. Is there anything else?"

Shen Yi did not care about anyone else's safety.

"Yes. I've already persuaded Teacher Bai. She's willing to serve you now, husband! When are you coming back? Should I have Teacher Bai wash up and wait for you in bed?" Jiangnan Yan's tone was lively, as though she wanted praise.

"I'm on my way home. Have her wash first. Don't save water—make sure she gets herself clean."

"Okay, husband. Be careful."

After hanging up, Shen Yi thought of Bai Xinyi and could not help feeling a rush of heat.

He could unlock new supplies again!

Together with Zhou Wan'er, who would soon be delivered to his door, he could unlock two kinds of supplies at once.

Still, this pace was a little too slow.

Shen Yi pondered whether, now that he had the teleportation skill, he could go out and take in beautiful girls.

The internet was a mixed bag to begin with, and with the recent power outage, most people probably had nowhere to charge their phones. It would not be easy to keep searching online for a needle in a haystack.

"Let's see what supplies Bai Xinyi and Zhou Wan'er can unlock first. If there are Ability Fruits or other firearms, then I'll take some risks and go out to take in girls."

Shen Yi silently thought this as he quickened his pace home.

Along the way, he also saw some survivors heading out in groups to search for supplies.

But unfortunately, they had no decent weapons. A Mutant Domestic Cat soon set its sights on them, and they had almost no chance of surviving.

Home and Family Supermarket.

The very supermarket Shen Yi had just finished looting.

At this moment, several figures appeared at the supermarket entrance.

They were all carrying weapons.

Especially the two leaders—a man and a woman—both had guns in their hands and wore police uniforms.

They were police officers!

Behind the two officers were several men carrying weapons like clubs, but these men clearly had no combat experience. Fear was written all over their faces.

"Wait, I smell blood! Everyone, be careful!"

The moment she reached the supermarket entrance, the female police officer spoke up. She released the safety on her pistol and aimed it at the supermarket doors.

The other male officer immediately moved in front of the civilians, remaining alert for attacks that could come from any direction as he asked, "Captain Qin, what should we do? Should we retreat?"

Qin Xiang's nose twitched lightly as she sniffed the air. After observing the inside through the supermarket's glass windows for a while, she frowned and said, "We don't have much food left. We have to take the risk and go in to check."

"Wang Zhiqiang, lead the others and stand guard outside. I'll inspect the supermarket first. Once I confirm it's safe, you can come in."

"Captain Qin, I can go in and help you too! I can't let you take the risk alone!"

The male officer, Wang Zhiqiang, hurriedly pleaded.

"No. You need to stay behind. Your responsibility is to protect the civilians!"

Qin Xiang refused sternly, then softened her tone slightly. "Don't worry. With my abilities, I won't be in danger."

"Besides, I've been to this supermarket before. The owner was reliable. Maybe the smell of blood isn't a sign of danger."

"Alright." Wang Zhiqiang nodded.

He knew that protecting the civilians was the most important mission.

Qin Xiang then walked to the supermarket entrance and knocked on the door.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

She frowned slightly.

Had something really happened?

With that thought, Qin Xiang could no longer worry about damaging civilian property. Looking at the tightly locked supermarket door, she took a slight breath and threw a punch!

The locked door was smashed straight through!

Everyone behind her was stunned by the sight.

What terrifying strength!

She was clearly just a beautiful, slender woman, yet she possessed horrifying power completely disproportionate to her body.

Holding her gun, Qin Xiang walked into the supermarket.

Before long, she found a corpse on the first floor.

And it was a corpse that had been shot in the head, its eyes still wide open in death!

It was the supermarket owner's body.

"A gunshot wound? How could someone have a gun?"

"Could it have been other colleagues who survived?"

"No, that couldn't have been a colleague!!"

Qin Xiang frowned, her expression grave.

Because if it had been one of her colleagues, they would never have fired at a civilian!

Even if they had been forced to shoot, they would not have aimed for the head, but at another part of the body.

This was one of the rules they had learned after becoming police officers!

The only ones who would go for a headshot were thugs and villains!
