Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 14 – Gang Queen

The moment Lin Fan stepped out of the building, she clearly felt the oppressive feeling in the air dissipate considerably.

The zombies wandering outside were noticeably much slower than the one in the hallway.

Their movements had become stiff, and their reactions were a beat slower.

Just as I thought.

Lin Fan silently confirmed her speculation.

The virus was indeed more active in dark environments.

This was a crucial discovery, meaning the danger level of indoor environments needed to be re-evaluated.

They set out from the residential complex.

The two began their long, stealthy journey.

A journey that should have taken twenty minutes was stretched to half an hour.

Whenever they encountered a zombie they couldn’t bypass, Zhou Ming would silently sneak up behind it.

One swing of the axe to the head.

The movements were clean and efficient, without any wasted motion.

Lin Fan was increasingly satisfied with this “tool’s” combat abilities.

At least at this current stage, Zhou Ming’s value was still very high.

The Wild Wolf Outdoor Supply Store finally came into view.

It was a large, three-story shop specializing in all kinds of outdoor gear.

In her past life, Lin Fan had been here before the apocalypse broke out, so she knew it contained a lot of good stuff.

Outdoor equipment, knives, ropes…

These things were indispensable in the apocalypse.

But as the two cautiously approached the store’s entrance, the sound of voices from inside instantly put Lin Fan on alert.

Someone’s here!

And more than one.

Lin Fan immediately signaled for Zhou Ming to stop, and the two pressed themselves against the wall to observe quietly.

Through the glass door, the situation inside was in plain view.

Seven or eight men were rummaging through the equipment on the shelves.

They were all dressed in matching black suits, which, though somewhat wrinkled, still maintained a certain sense of discipline.

The most eye-catching person was the woman standing in the center of the shop.

She had short, neat hair, and her cold, stern face held the dignity of a superior.

Her figure was slender, her curves exquisite yet full of a sense of power.

On her upper body, she wore a form-fitting black tank top that outlined her perfect figure.

Her lower body was clad in tight leather pants that hugged her long legs.

On her feet were a pair of over-the-knee high-heeled boots, each step exuding a deadly elegance.

On this, the fourth day of the apocalypse, when most people were already disheveled and wretched, this woman still maintained her refined makeup and powerful aura.

“Big Sis, the gear over here is pretty good.”

A burly man reported respectfully to the woman.

The other men also addressed her as “Big Sis,” their tones filled with heartfelt reverence.

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

These were definitely not ordinary people.

To maintain such composure on the fourth day of the apocalypse, one either had a powerful background or formidable strength.

Judging by the respect her subordinates showed, it was most likely the latter.

And from the bulges at the men’s waists, it was clear they were all armed.

But for that very reason, Lin Fan was even more interested.

The more powerful a woman was, the higher the quality of the skin made from her.

The aura of a powerhouse emanating from this woman would definitely be rated as Excellent quality or higher by the system!

Besides, it was still the early days of the apocalypse. People’s moral bottom lines and legal awareness hadn’t completely collapsed yet.

It was unlikely they would start fighting the moment they met.

This was the best time to make contact.

“Ming-ge.”

Lin Fan lowered his voice, a vulnerable expression on his face.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Zhou Ming was a little worried.

“Ruyan, these people don’t look easy to deal with…”

“Don’t worry.”

Lin Fan reached out and gently stroked Zhou Ming’s arm. The soft touch made Zhou Ming’s heart instantly race.

“If we’re polite, it should be fine.”

This gentle reassurance instantly put Zhou Ming at ease.

Lin Fan pushed open the shop door, triggering a faint chime.

Everyone inside instantly became alert, their gazes snapping to the entrance.

Several of the men’s hands were already reaching for the machetes at their waists, their killing intent palpable.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Lin Fan raised her hands, a timid and fearful look on her face.

Her voice was sweet with a slight tremor.

“We just want to come in and see if there’s any gear we need.”

The [Basic Charm] ability activated silently, a faint, seductive scent filling the air.

The men’s vigilance clearly relaxed a little, their eyes roaming over Lin Fan’s body.

But the woman’s expression remained cold, her sharp gaze piercing straight through the charm’s influence.

“We claimed this place first.”

The woman’s voice was magnetic, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.

Every word was imbued with the pressure of a superior.

“If you want something, trade for it with something else.”

Lin Fan chuckled inwardly.

Just as I thought.

In the early days of the apocalypse, even an obvious powerhouse like her still maintained a certain bottom line.

If this were a few months later, they probably would have just attacked directly.

“Okay.”

Lin Fan nodded, appearing very cooperative.

“I wonder what you need, sister?”

“Medical supplies.”

The woman’s reply was concise and forceful.

“Medicine, bandages, alcohol—these things are more valuable than gear.”

A flash of admiration appeared in Lin Fan’s eyes.

This woman’s apocalyptic instincts were very sharp.

Indeed, in the apocalypse, the value of medical supplies far exceeded that of ordinary equipment.

To have such judgment meant she had either experienced a similar disaster or was born with extremely strong survival instincts.

Either way, it made her even more valuable.

“We have some.”

Lin Fan signaled for Zhou Ming to put down his backpack.

Just then, from behind a shelf deep inside the shop, a figure slowly stood up.

It was a man in a store clerk’s uniform.

His skin was pale, his eyes were white, and dried bloodstains hung from the corners of his mouth.

A zombie!

“Watch your back!”

Lin Fan shouted a reminder, her voice filled with just the right amount of terror.

The woman didn’t even turn her head, merely shifting her body slightly to the side.

The next second, her right leg shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed through the shop.

The zombie’s entire body was sent flying three meters, crashing heavily against the wall.

Its neck was twisted at a bizarre angle, clearly broken.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

Clean, efficient, deadly.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

This level of strength and speed was far beyond that of an ordinary person!

Rеаԁ oո KatRеaⅾiոgСαfе

The force of that kick had to be at least several hundred kilograms of impact!

This woman’s value was even higher than she had imagined.

If she could make her into a skin, she would obtain not only her appearance and figure but also this terrifying combat ability!

She had to find a way to get her.

No matter what it took.

“Thanks for the warning.”

The woman stood up straight again, her expression still indifferent.

It was as if she had just kicked a mosquito to death.

“Lei Li.”

She introduced herself simply, her voice carrying the authority of a superior.

“Since you warned me just now, I’ll let you pick out some gear here.”

“But the price is those medical supplies.”

Lin Fan nodded quickly, a grateful expression on his face.

“No problem, Lei-jie.” ¹ -jie as in older sister.

She took out a few packs of bandages, some medical alcohol, and a few boxes of antibiotics from Zhou Ming’s backpack.

These were all things she had scavenged from the pharmacy earlier, just the tip of the iceberg for her.

Lei Li glanced at them and nodded in satisfaction.

“Go on.”

“The gear on the second floor is better quality.”

Lin Fan thanked her and pulled Zhou Ming upstairs.

But her attention wasn’t on the gear at all.

It was on figuring out how to get close to Lei Li.

The aura of a powerhouse this woman exuded, and the terrifying combat power she had just displayed.

She had to have her.

No matter the cost.
