Chapter 9
Of course, although one might encounter mutated animals in the suburbs, the density is still much lower than that in the city. What do you say? Join us.
Oh! I encountered another one, my luck is really good today. The burly man chuckled twice, his gaze sweeping around the black panther at Zhao Bin's feet, slightly narrowing his eyes
What caught Zhao Bin off guard was perhaps the change in the laws of the universe. The Level 1 interdimensional summoning unexpectedly resulted in a cheetah that belonged to a permanent summoning. This meant that it would exist permanently in this plane; once summoned, it would no longer require magical power to maintain and would not automatically return to its original plane after a certain period. However, the corresponding cooldown time for Level 1 interdimensional summoning had reached a lengthy one month.
As soon as Zhao Bin returned to his residence, he locked the security door with a bang. Then, with swift movements, he poured himself a glass of water and began to write and draw on the floor at the entrance with his finger. A series of complex and mysterious formulas, symbols, and numbers changed rapidly, demonstrating the astonishing speed of calculation in Zhao Bin's mind at that moment. Often, just as one result emerged in less than a second, the next formula's result would follow immediately.
Zhao Bin suddenly seemed to hear a sound in his ears. He squinted and carefully discerned for a moment, but his expression suddenly changed. Without bothering to move the generator, he quickly led the Black Panther towards the supermarket entrance. Just then, he ran into someone coming from the opposite direction
"Hey, independent activities? Forget it, boss, if this kid wants to seek his own demise, we can't be blamed for it," the long-haired youth said gloomily. "Just wait a couple of days... heh heh..."
"Boss, don't move, I can't aim!" another male voice shouted anxiously
Outside the window, the originally overcast sky gradually darkened as a thick mass of black clouds swiftly approached the neighborhood where Zhao Bin resided, accompanied by an increasingly loud buzzing sound, drawing ever closer
"What is so funny?" Zhao Bin said in a deep voice
"I apologize, but I prefer to act independently. It seems I will disappoint you." Zhao Bin patted the black panther, and the two of them passed by the three individuals at a normal pace.

Brother, the times have changed, haven't you been watching the news on TV? The whole world..." He exaggeratedly raised his arms in a hugging gesture. "Everyone has been affected, the government, the military, all in chaos. Do you know about the Third Military District near Minshan City? It's terrible in there... tsk tsk...
Bang! Then there was the sound of a gunshot
Zhao Bin did not hear the latter part clearly because he had walked too far away
"Did you escape from the city?" Zhao Bin gently stroked the neck of the black panther as he asked
Zhao Bin's complexion was somewhat pale, and his fingers continuously traced numerous patterns of activated water. These patterns then automatically calculated results, which in turn served as new variables for further calculations. Time and again, increasingly complex formulas emerged and vanished one after another
The two individuals following behind are one long-haired youth with a sullen expression, who is still changing magazines, and a boy who appears to be a high school student, looking quite youthful and seemingly not yet eighteen years old
Damn it! Where did these patrollers come from? These dead dogs were just not here a moment ago!" shouted a loud-voiced man
Bang! The pitch-black storage room was suddenly kicked open, and light instantly flooded in from the outside
The burly man with a tiger tattoo was cursing under his breath, continuously rubbing his right shoulder. Upon seeing Zhao Bin emerge from the supermarket, he immediately broke into a smile
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint scent of blood from https://www.hetushu.com hovering over the desolate intersection. The sky was overcast, and the various vehicles that had originally congested the intersection had been completely cleared to the sidewalks on either side. Scattered car parts were piled up in heaps, with only a few transport trucks remaining intact by the roadside
After the gunshot "bang," the barking of the dog suddenly ceased. It seems that the matter has been resolved
Zhao Bin looked inside from the entrance; the supermarket had four or five additional windows, which allowed ample light to fill the space. The rows of food shelves were empty, and the sound of Zhao Bin's sneakers lightly tapping against the smooth white marble floor echoed softly. In contrast, the black panther followed him silently like a ghost, faithfully staying by Zhao Bin's side
Having a general understanding of the Black Panther's combat capabilities, Zhao Bin decided to visit the Wanjiale Supermarket today to bring back that gasoline generator
Next, we have the residents on the other side. This side is a bit more troublesome, as there are two zombies. However, they are just ordinary zombies. This means it took Black Panther an additional ten seconds or so. When he emerged, he only had a slight crimson stain at the corner of his mouth
A short-haired man dressed in light blue jeans and a black long-sleeve T-shirt appeared at the door of the storage room. The hem of the man's T-shirt was tucked into his jeans, creating a somewhat incongruous appearance
Since being bound by him, Li Fei had not been released, and her mouth was still sealed with tape, preventing her from speaking. Coupled with continuous blood loss and malnutrition, she had lost a significant amount of weight, and her originally beautiful face had become much thinner. At this moment, it seemed that Li Fei had just awakened from a slumber. Upon seeing Zhao Bin rush in anxiously, she guessed that something significant must have happened. Moreover, from Zhao Bin's somewhat indifferent gaze, Li Fei sensed that her fate had reached a critical turning point. Tears welled up in her eyes, revealing a pleading and pitiful expression.
With a whoosh, the black panther dashed into the room like an arrow released from a bow. Then came the roars of zombies and the chaotic noise of objects being knocked to the ground. By the time Zhao Bin entered, covering his nose, everything had already settled down. The black panther emerged from a bedroom with graceful and light steps, as if it had merely gone in for a quick look, with nothing having occurred. Only the bloodstains on its two front paws indicated that the earlier sounds of struggle were not an illusion.

"Strangle! Aim for the neck! A Dong!"
"No, it's too late. We must think of a way to temporarily divert them." Zhao Bin closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze landing directly on the bedroom where Li Fei was. He suddenly stood up and rushed into that bedroom
The appearance of the cheetah greatly relaxed Zhao Bin's mood
Buzz buzz buzz buzz ... ... Suddenly, a buzzing noise that sent shivers down the spine gradually emerged from outside the window. At first, the sound was distant, but in less than a minute, it felt as if it were right next to the ear, and it seemed that there was only one sound existing in the entire world.
The swarm of buzzing green flies has disappeared, and the foul odor from the bloodstains in the stairwell has also dissipated.
Airborne transmission? Zhao Bin was taken aback
A person and a leopard arrived on the fifth floor
I hope those people have not moved away, as such heavy items not only consume fuel but also do not have much effect on a moving convoy
A glob of acidic liquid, accompanied by a brief chant, swiftly corroded a fist-sized hole in the security door of a residence on the fifth floor. Dense green smoke began to spread.
Exchange? Hehe... The big man laughed.
Following the main road of the community, I calmly arrived at the entrance of Wanjiale Supermarket with a * picture * book in hand. The red supermarket sign was tilted at the entrance, covered in dried blood. The face of the beautiful star on the sign was mostly obscured by bloodstains, exuding an eerie beauty
Are you also planning to go to the suburbs? Zhao Bin pressed slightly on the neck of the black panther with his right hand. The black panther, which had been crouching on the ground, immediately stood up straight, its bright red tongue licking its lips, revealing its white, sharp fangs inside. A pair of pale yellow cat eyes coldly stared at the three people in front of it
The black panther, alert, arched its body and assumed a threatening posture, signaling to its owner that there was danger.
"That can't be right. Just a few days ago, I saw the army's armored vehicles heading towards the suburbs with a convoy," Zhao Bin said, rubbing the Black Panther's hand and squinting his eyes.
As he passed by three people, he began to jog briskly towards his residence. Along the way, the black panther also took the opportunity to deal with a female zombie that suddenly lunged out from a large truck parked by the roadside.
"Alright, now I give you a chance to join us, or you can stay here alone, in this soon-to-be deserted zombie city. What do you think?" The burly man with a tiger head tattoo took out a cigarette and lit it.
Haha, you are unaware of this; the zombie virus is not only transmitted through blood but can also spread through the air. Only a select few of us, the advanced humans, can survive. Otherwise, do you think that mere blood transmission could affect the entire world? Those inside the armored vehicles are not military at all
The long-haired youth facing me curled the corner of his mouth and leisurely loaded the magazine into the handgun
"I am sorry, but for my safety, I can only sacrifice you a little," Zhao Bin murmured softly as he quickly lifted Li Fei up...
"Indeed, you haven't moved out." A faint smile appeared on the man's not particularly handsome face. At the hem of his pants, the head of a black leopard, the size of a basin, emerged, calmly surveying everything in the storage room
"Bro, do you live around here?" The burly man responded with an irrelevant answer
Zhao Bin quickly opened the security door and pointed inside with his hand
I need some information about the surrounding situation. It seems you are the boss, right? Shall we exchange?
Well done! Zhao Bin stepped forward and rubbed the Black Panther's neck. Just a moment ago, he distinctly felt a pure stream of mental energy flowing into his own mental energy river from that bedroom. He knew this was the contribution of the zombie that the Black Panther had eliminated. After checking his status, he found that his mental energy had increased from 5 to 6 points. This served as a perfect validation of Zhao Bin's calculations from a few days ago: killing zombies can yield mental energy
During the day, most zombies are reluctant to emerge. These foul-smelling corpses seem to have only ventured out on the first day of their rampage, as they have not been seen wandering the streets during the day since then
With one hand holding the scroll and following the swift steps of the black panther ahead, Zhao Bin finally felt a genuine sense of security
Zhao Bin had to stop and scrutinize the other party. The leader was a burly man with a buzz cut, wearing a black tank top that exposed large, solid muscles, and a prominent tattoo of a tiger's head on his right arm
First, thoroughly clean the fifth and sixth floors. This is Zhao Bin's plan
Alright, everyone has their own aspirations, and we cannot impose our will on others
Zhao Bin followed closely behind the Black Panther, cautiously jogging towards the Wanjiale Supermarket. Over the past few days, he had managed to grasp the activity patterns of the zombies.
However, there are occasionally some exceptions
Suddenly, a series of urgent barks came from outside
Let me do it! This time it is a somewhat gloomy male voice
Little Black, come up!
