Chapter 62: Supersonic? Looting a Whole Street!
When she saw Wang Siqi in that instant, Tang Mengting's expression became complex.
Originally, Tang Mengting could be said to have the best family background among everyone here.
She was a rich girl in her own right.
Her family was wealthy enough to rival even rich second-generation elites like Zhao Ming.
That was precisely why Zhao Ming had never been able to force himself on her.
Because of her privileged upbringing, Tang Mengting had always harbored a sense of superiority.
She felt this was her edge over other women.
But now...
Wang Siqi's appearance instantly shattered that sense of superiority.
Because Wang Siqi's family background was a hundred times better than hers!
If someone like Wang Siqi could fall to such miserable depths in the apocalypse, what did her own modest fortune even matter?
She looked at Wang Siqi with a conflicted expression, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Seeing that Wang Siqi was already hitting it off with the group, Liu Yang quietly withdrew from the villa.
After all, finding Wang Siqi was just a minor detour on his run.
His primary objective was still to gather all supplies within a twenty-kilometer radius.
And today's target was a wholesale market fifteen kilometers away.
So, after settling Wang Siqi in, he immediately set off toward the market without losing a second.
Liu Yang leaped high into the air, taking flight and accelerating rapidly.
Originally, his base attributes were twenty times those of a normal human. A regular person's maximum sprint speed is about eight to nine meters per second, whereas Liu Yang's peak running speed reached nearly 190 meters per second!
And the flight speed of the Dark Cloak was double his maximum running speed.
That meant 380 meters per second.
He was moving faster than the speed of sound at 340 meters per second!
Liu Yang wasn't one for arrogance, but right now, he truly felt invincible!
Although the flight duration was capped at five minutes, five minutes was more than enough!
In five minutes, he could cover 300 × 380 = 114,000 meters.
In other words, a single full-speed flight allowed him to cover 114 kilometers!
For a wholesale market fifteen kilometers away, he only needed 15,000 ÷ 380 = 39.5 seconds.
The reason it had taken him two minutes to fly back to the villa earlier was simply because he feared Wang Siqi couldn't handle that kind of speed.
With attributes twenty times greater than an average human's, Liu Yang's body could handle the forces easily.
At this moment, not only did he possess physical stats reminiscent of Homelander, but his flight speed was practically the same as well!
When Liu Yang touched down at the wholesale market, a few survivors happened to be inside scavenging for food. Seeing him drop out of the sky completely terrified them.
Looking at Liu Yang clad in black and holding a black katana, sheer panic gripped their faces.
This guy could fly!
And he was wearing such cool gear while carrying such an imposing weapon.
His strength was clearly off the charts!
He had to be an absurdly powerful ability user!
Several people quickly huddled behind a burly man.
That burly man was the only ability user among these survivors, making him the strongest of their group.
Yet, even as an ability user, the moment the burly man saw Liu Yang, his body stiffened in shock.
The burly man stared at Liu Yang, his eyes guarded. Carefully, with a slightly trembling voice, he said,
"B-Big brother, are you here for food too? You can take whatever you want. We'll just go grab a little somewhere else and leave. We won't get in your way, alright?"
The wholesale market was a long street lined on both sides with commercial shops. The owners had long turned into zombies or been torn apart, leaving the entire strip desolate.
Now that Liu Yang was here, these survivors were ready to scavenge elsewhere. After all, the street was huge-Liu Yang couldn't possibly clear everything out by himself, right?
Listening to the burly man, Liu Yang nodded. "Sure, no problem. But you guys might want to hurry it up."
Seeing that these people were terrified of his arrival and spoke to him with plenty of respect, Liu Yang naturally had no intention of killing them.
After all, survivors were scarce after the apocalypse.
Every single human was a valuable resource.
It would be best if he could recruit them into his survivor shelter.
Only when the population of his shelter grew large enough would the resources they submitted become significant.
"Thank you! We'll go scavenge at the end of the street then!" Hearing Liu Yang's reply, the survivors brightened up with joy.
They finally let out a breath of relief.
The heavy weight in their chests vanished.
Slinging their backpacks, they hurriedly ran toward the far end of the street.
Although the head of the street mainly housed wholesale stocks of rice, wheat, flour, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, Liu Yang's overwhelming power-flying through the sky-meant they didn't dare compete with him. They could only settle for the tail end.
Watching the survivors hurry off, Liu Yang started walking into the shops one by one.
"Holy shift, a rice wholesaler! There are at least thousands of bags of rice here! Store it all!"
"Flour wholesaler-thousands of bags of flour?! Taking it all!"
"A warehouse full of potatoes? Must be dozens of tons! Stored!"
"A sweet potato warehouse? Taken!"
"Noodles, rice vermicelli, instant noodles, ham sausages? Store every last bit!"
"Is this... a powdered milk wholesale shop? Take it all, take it all! This stuff will be insanely useful!"
Thanks to the genetic enhancement provided by his system, Liu Yang guaranteed successful conception every single time.
Ten months from now, he would have at least a football team's worth of infants!
Powdered milk was going to be essential!
Liu Yang kept on clearing shops.
He looted everything-clothing wholesalers, snack shops, daily necessities, even toy shops.
The fruit wholesalers had plenty of produce, though sadly most of it had rotted.
The only good fruit left were long-lasting varieties like apples, pears, pomelos, and sugarcane.
Perishables like bananas, peaches, and mangoes had long since gone bad.
Liu Yang swept all the fresh fruit into his Dark Space.
It amounted to dozens of tons.
Items stored inside the Dark Space never spoiled.
These fruits would remain fresh indefinitely.
Liu Yang continued stashing items as he walked deeper down the street.
Before long, every single store behind him was completely emptied, bringing him straight to the end of the street.
Inside a shop near the far end, the burly man and his group of survivors were frantically stuffing items into their backpacks, though they had barely managed to fill half of one.
Seeing Liu Yang approach, they froze, fear washing over their faces once more.
The burly man steeled himself and asked, "B-Big brother, is there something you need?"
Liu Yang shook his head. "Nope. I've just finished clearing up to this point."
The survivors looked at him in total confusion.
What did he mean by that?
Cleared up to this point?
Did this powerhouse skip the stores at the front of the street and head straight for the back?
That had to be an excuse!
The best stores were all at the front.
The back only had general goods and fruits-it was hard to find high-calorie staple foods here.
Seeing Liu Yang catch up so quickly, they immediately assumed he simply didn't want them getting any food.
The burly man spoke up cautiously, "Big brother... how about we leave right now? You can take whatever you want from here. We won't take anything."
"Don't make it sound like I'm bullying you. I told you to hurry up, but you were too slow. Can you really blame me?" Liu Yang said as he walked in, sweeping his hand across the room to store every single item in the entire shop.
The survivors stared at Liu Yang's move, utterly dumbfounded.
One by one, their faces turned pale as if they had seen a ghost.
"Holy shit! What just happened?!"
"Where did all the stuff go? How did it vanish?!"
"Out of thin air?!"
"Ah! Are we seeing things?!"
