Chapter 190 Escape

After the woman was dragged away, she realized something was wrong, but she couldn't break free from the man's grasp. She didn't know what the man wanted to do with her and her child, but her intuition told her that something terrible was about to happen.

Looking at the sleeping child in her arms, the woman hardened her heart and bit down hard on the hand covering her mouth. The man, caught off guard, was bitten squarely.

The intense pain made him instinctively release his hand from the woman's, and she seized the opportunity to shout, "Help!"

After the apocalypse, everyone was trembling with fear. Except for the ignorant children, most people were not sleeping soundly. Although the man immediately covered the woman's mouth after realizing what had happened, her voice still woke up many people.

Among them are Lin He and Lin Feng, who has already awakened the wind-type hearing ability, as well as other children who already have abilities.

Lin Feng, in particular, with his hearing ability, heard the woman's cries for help very clearly.

"Damn it!" The man sensed something was wrong, cursed under his breath, and punched the woman unconscious.

While everyone was still confused, he quickly led the mother and child to a corner. In the corner was a small, solitary mud hut, built by one of the earth-elemental ability users in their group.

"Hey, open the door! Damn it, this bitch dared to bite me!!" The man cursed as he found an entrance in the earthen wall. He led the mother and child inside and then threw them violently to the ground.

After the man went inside, the entrance on the earthen wall merged back into the earthen wall, turning back into an earthen wall.

"I told you to be careful. Things might get out of hand this time," Hei Zi said, looking at the sheep the man was carrying back.

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, none of the people here are a match for us. If we didn't want to keep them around to fend off the zombies, we would have locked these sheep up long ago." The man nonchalantly plopped down on a chair in the mud house.

He grinned at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa and said, "Boss, this woman delivered herself to us. I wasn't planning on arresting her, but since we've already arrested her, let's all have an extra bowl of mutton tonight."

The middle-aged man looked at the extra "sheep" and licked his lips: "Hahaha, alright, brothers, eat as much as you want tonight, but we can't do this next time. After all, our sheep are limited, and every one we eat is one less."

Until a supply of mutton arrives, we still need to be careful with our sheep.

Lin Feng recounted the conversation he had overheard to Lin He and the kindergarten director in detail. Lin Feng was still a child under ten years old, and although he found the conversation a bit strange, he did not understand what they meant.

However, Lin He and the headmistress were different. After hearing Lin Feng's retelling of the conversation, both of them looked horrified. Lin He frantically grabbed the headmistress's hand: "Headmistress, we have to find a way to get out of here."

These people are completely insane. They've started eating people even though there's still food in the warehouse.

“You’re right, we have to leave.” The headmistress looked around at the sleeping children. She couldn’t let these pure souls be tainted by darkness. “But before we leave, we need to find a way to collect some supplies.”

Even if they awaken superpowers, children are still children after all. Their strength and control over their superpowers are far inferior to those of adults.

The headmistress looked down at Xiao Yi, who was not even a year old and didn't understand anything. Even the use of superpowers was unconscious.

They didn't know what use her special ability was.

Lin He nodded. Yes, her younger siblings are all children. They don't even have a car to get around in. How can they leave?

"Tomorrow, Lin He, you stay here and watch over your younger siblings. Be careful to hide in a corner and don't attract their attention." The headmistress sighed as she listened to the commotion around her, but couldn't find anyone calling for help or amidst the cursing and swearing.

People are selfish. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the superhumans weren't paying attention and leave with the children, so that the truth about their cannibalism wouldn't be revealed for the time being.

"When I go out with the others tomorrow, I'll see if I can find a bus and some gasoline."

Unfortunately, while finding a bus was easy, finding gasoline was a problem. First, the principal didn't know how to extract gasoline at a gas station. Second, even if they could, without electricity, they couldn't refuel. Third, the principal didn't have an A1 license and wasn't sure if their C1 license was sufficient to drive a large vehicle.

Unable to find a suitable vehicle, the principal and her team searched further and further away over the course of a week, while the number of people in the supermarket dwindled day by day.

With food scarce and physical activity strenuous, those venturing out to search for supplies grew increasingly irritable, contrasting sharply with the ruddy faces of the group of superhuman men.

Even the most clueless person would have guessed where the missing person had gone by now.

At this time, when the principal went out, he finally found a nine-seater van. The driver in the van had turned into a zombie, but level one zombies are not very intelligent and can't even open the car door. Instead, he was trapped in the car.

After killing the zombie, the kindergarten director was pleasantly surprised to find that the car's gas tank was still half full. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, the director drove back, parked the car in a corner near the supermarket, and immediately returned home.

She had looked around and found two usable vehicles in front of the supermarket. With four adults and children, that would be enough for more than thirty people. In the post-apocalyptic world, there was no issue of overloading.

"Xiaohe, is everyone alright?" After returning to the supermarket, the headmistress immediately ran to Lin He. In the past few days, she had noticed that as there were fewer and fewer people in the supermarket, the way those people with superpowers looked at her children was becoming increasingly strange.

If it weren't for the golden retriever's alertness, barking loudly at the slightest hint of a stranger, her children would probably have already fallen victim to those superhumans.

The kindergarten director also discovered that some people took advantage of the opportunity to go out and slip away, even abandoning their relatives left behind in the supermarket.

"Director..." Lin He rushed up to the director happily upon seeing him. "Don't worry, everyone is fine, but..." Lin He glanced cryptically at the earthen house in the corner.

The headmaster nodded, patted Lin He's shoulder gently, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. We'll leave after they fall asleep tonight."

The headmaster only mentioned leaving to Lin He and Lin Feng, because with so many people around, the headmaster was worried that the news would leak out and they wouldn't be able to leave.

If Lin He's charm ability is used well, she can fool everyone even if she is discovered when leaving. As for Lin Feng, he needs his wind-type ability to float all the children in the air and send them away.

The night was quiet. After everyone had fallen asleep, Lin He closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be fast asleep. Suddenly, Mao Mao barked sharply, "Woof woof woof!"
