"Ahead is a supermarket that I cleaned before. Although it's not a particularly big one, if the people nearby are not stupid, they might find a way to go there..."

Xia Ran said in a brisk tone, walking quickly on the road while still looking down at the map in his hand.

"——Of course, this is based on the premise that they have to go out to look for food. Most people will probably stay huddled in there as long as they have food at home, waiting for rescue."

I just got the map from a convenience store, maybe for the convenience of out-of-towners traveling to Bedzhu City? And it looks relatively new, and there are many differences from the one I downloaded online.

As a pure outsider, Xia Ran naturally got a portion since he happened to meet him. However, it was not that he took it without asking. He had given the money properly... Although the shop owner was not here, he still handed over the money.

Put it at the cashier.

This makes Busujima Yako and others feel embarrassed. This person's thinking circuit is really incomprehensible. Anyway, it is the kind that normal people can't understand at all.

"Is that supermarket our next target?" Saya Gaocheng asked unhappily.

"No, I just took a look at it. After all, it is a big resource point, and there seems to be a hospital next to it... Well, it seems to be a new hospital? I didn't notice it before, but it's actually just across the street."

Xia Ran lowered his head and looked at the map in his hand, and couldn't help but frown slightly. The expired map was indeed a lie.

He had been here once before, but he didn't find that there was a hospital nearby. If he knew about it, he would have cleaned it up. It could also be used as a drug resource station, and he might even be able to save a batch of people.

Medical staff.

It is undeniable that Xia Ran's mentality at the moment is a bit like playing a strategic management game. After being addicted to it, his mind is filled with thoughts about population, resources, territory, etc. He is always thinking about whether this resource is available or which unit is not enough.

of.

"Hospital?"

Marikawa Shizuka seemed to react belatedly, and then slapped her palm.

"Speaking of which, medicine is also a very important thing! There is no such material in the shopping mall. If we are not prepared, even if a flu breaks out later, we may be caught off guard..."

"Then we're going to clean up that hospital next?"

Yako Busujima said harmoniously, clenching the wooden sword in his hand, and there was no falsehood in his tone. His eyes were fixed on the scattered zombies appearing on the street in front of him, watching their approach, and preparing to go directly to deal with them.

However, the young man walking in front just waved his hand vigorously without raising his head. Without any warning, the heads of the zombies approaching in front flew high with dark blood that did not solidify at all!

Then--

Just get out like a kicked ball.

The remaining headless corpses also lost all mysterious driving force in an instant. Although the virus made them completely unlike normal creatures, they were not so mysterious that they entered the realm of necromancy.

"Let's go and have a look. If it's a hospital, some people can really survive, and it won't last too long... If we delay it for a few more days, I'm afraid they will starve to death..."

Xia Ran raised his head, folded the map smoothly, put it into the pocket of his jacket, and made a decision.

"..."

"..."

The few people following him did not speak, and Komuro Takashi silently put down the baseball bat in his hand. As he walked quickly past the headless corpses, his eyes and expressions looked complicated and weird.

The same goes for other people. Unavoidable disturbances arise in their hearts. There are some things that can't be just got used to, and besides, there isn't that much time to give them a subtle habit.

So no matter how many times they watched it, this group of people still felt very powerless... They couldn't even be sure how Xia Ran took action, and they simply couldn't keep up with the attack speed of the parasitic beast, from mimicking deformation, to launching attacks, to recovering.

As is.

These steps were all completed in an instant. In the time Xia Ran waved his hand, the head of the enemy who had just approached disappeared.

This scene is really...

No matter how weird it looks, it feels scary no matter how you think about it.

"What's wrong? Why didn't you say anything? Is there something wrong?" Xia Ran felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and turned around to ask without realizing it.

"..."

"..."

"No, it's nothing..." Saya Takagi said with a stiff expression and gritted her teeth. This kind of person is really helpless. He can't be beaten again and again. His character has serious flaws, and he has to rely on him.

This is the most annoying and frustrating thing. She suspects that if she continues like this, she will be forced to develop the Stockholm Effect, because if not, there is only one possibility left, and that is that she will be pissed to death.

.

"Really?" Xia Ran narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up and down carefully at the pink-haired twin-tailed girl.

The next moment, Takagi Saya was obviously overreacting and backed away continuously. He crossed his arms on his chest, widened his eyes, his cheeks were red and angry, and he shouted sternly, obviously lacking in confidence: "You want to read my mind again?!

"

"..."

"..."

Is the psychological shadow so serious?

Xia Ran didn't expect this girl to react like this. As long as he kept his eyes on her for one more second, she would jump up and down, suspecting that he was preparing to directly read her mental activities.

He coughed lightly and said sincerely: "You are overthinking, I would never do such a thing..."

"Then what were you doing yesterday!" Saya Gaocheng was shocked and angry. She couldn't restrain her anger at all and shouted.

"Ahem, the hospital is right in front, let's hurry over..."

"Hey! Don't change the subject!" Saya Takagi suddenly became angry, and an obvious cross appeared on her forehead.

"Um, Takagi-san..." Fatty Hirano Toda showed a flattering smile next to him, trying to comfort her.

"The dead fat man's mud is victorious!"

"..."

"..."

Hirano Toda, sunk!

Takagi Saya walked straight forward angrily, his eyes fixed on the back of the figure in front of him, as if he wanted to kill him with a knife in order to gain some relief.

Because now she feels that she is no longer simply leaving a psychological shadow, but is almost allergic to this guy's gaze. As long as the other person looks over, she will get goosebumps all over her body and feel a chill deep in her heart.

That kind of sight was originally ordinary, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but after knowing that this guy could read minds, this kind of sight became particularly scary.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, but Saya Takagi feels that this kind of sight is as sharp as a knife, directly cutting open her heart layer by layer, and seeing through herself inside and out. In the eyes of others, this kind of sight is like being naked.

The feeling of no difference is really very shameful and infuriating.

Especially Gao Cheng Saya, she really wants to die with this guy, because he is really too bullying... It's okay for others, they probably feel the same, but at least Xia Ran has not shown any special reading towards them.

Heart behavior.

Escape is not a solution, but it is really useful. As long as it is not shown openly, others can pretend that nothing happened. Even if your secret may have been known to others, as long as it is not revealed, it will be fine.

Think others don’t know.

Although it is not good to cover one's ears and steal the bell, it is still a way to deceive oneself.

But she couldn't do it, because Xia Ran's two obvious mind-reading performances were basically aimed at her - although it was a coincidence, because her emotions were always too volatile and her thinking was active, which made her talk less in comparison.

If there are too many, they will naturally hit the steel plate.

Another reason is that Xia Ran is planning to swallow up the entire Takagi family for his own plan, so he naturally has to express his intention to Saya Takagi. There is no way he can pull Busujima Yako or Miyamoto Rei into pretending to read minds.

, thus bringing up the topic of the Gaocheng family, right?

Not only is there no valid reason, but it's actually ridiculous.

But it is precisely because of this that Saya Takagi is a little unlucky. No matter how big-hearted she is, she cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, but she can't beat that guy, and she can't kill him even if she doesn't like him... This is

The most frustrating thing.

…

…

"It's strange...there seems to be someone in the hospital."

Komuro Takashi muttered in a low voice. He had good eyesight. He was also the first person in school to discover the outbreak of the zombie crisis. Now he naturally discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the hospital in front of him.

It was a large hospital. Although there were a large number of dead zombies wandering aimlessly on the streets outside, just like other places in the city, there were obviously only corpses inside the hospital.

It looks like it has been specially cleaned up by someone.

"Hmph! Isn't this normal? Not every place is suitable for a base camp. The population of the hospital is always smaller than other places. Many patients who are bedridden may not be able to get up even if they change.

…”

Takagi Saya, whose face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to release black magic at any time, said this in a rather unfriendly tone.

"It wouldn't be particularly difficult to clean this place, and the hospital itself has walls, and there happens to be a large supermarket and a whole shopping street nearby. If someone is planning to build a stronghold, this would be a good choice.

Much better than other places.”

"Is that so? If that's the case, we probably don't have to go in anymore..." Komuro Takashi laughed a few times and refused to offend the other party.

After all, to be fair, if he had endured the pressure from the other party, he would not have been able to accept it calmly. But what can be done? This kind of thing is really scary. I didn’t see that other people were uncomfortable.

Dare to speak out?

Even Yako Busujima, who has always been mature and steady, with a sense of justice, is like this. Although it can be seen from her eyes that her mood is definitely not as indifferent as it seems, she is still wise and said nothing.
To be continued...
