The supermarket wasn't filled to the brim with supplies as one might imagine.

When the first snowfall began, some clever people rushed here to stock up on food.

The supermarket staff also took a lot of food home.

Many shelves were emptied.

Some scattered items on the ground were trampled into a mess.

It showed how frantic the buying frenzy had been earlier.

However, in the household goods section, not much was disturbed.

Various items were still very abundant.

Wang Hao pulled a shopping cart, put Xiaoyueyue in it, and pushed her around inside.

Xiaoyueyue seemed like she had never been to a supermarket before, curious about everything there.

Her face was filled with excitement.

During this time, Wang Hao appeared to be quite casual, as if he was really just shopping.

However, he had already activated his spiritual power, enhancing his hearing to pick up on the nearby sounds.

Suddenly, he uttered a soft 'huh.'

"Brother?"

Xiaoyueyue noticed Wang Hao's unusual behavior and gently called out to him.

"Hmm... seems like there's someone here."

Wang Hao stopped and gestured for her to be quiet.

Then he closed his eyes to listen.

In the supermarket warehouse.

A group of men and women were hiding.

They all held various weapons in their hands, their faces tense and serious.

"Xiaorui, are those people really that formidable? Even with so many of us, we can't beat them?"

A burly middle-aged man whispered.

"There are at least two Superpower Users among them, too strong to defeat."

Replied Xiaorui, with a look of helplessness.

He was about eighteen years old, fairly handsome, with a hint of youthfulness on his face.

"What should we do then? The food in the supermarket is limited, and if they find our stash and take everything, what will we eat?"

Spoke a plump woman, who had two butchering knives stuck in her belt, her face fierce and menacing.

"Probably not. Their backpacks are full, and they're few but elite, likely not here for supplies.

They might just be passing by since they're Superpower Users, they shouldn't be short on food."

Xiaorui analyzed seriously.

This made Wang Hao, who was eavesdropping, nod quietly.

This Xiaorui had a clear mind, quite a talent.

They hid probably because they saw Zhao Hu and Yang Tian transform.

But they didn't seem surprised.

Meaning they're also aware of the Superpower Users.

Some of them might even be Superpower Users themselves!

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ordinary people he no longer took seriously, but Superpower Users were quite dangerous.

Just not sure what superpower they possess.

"You say their backpacks have supplies? We can't confront them head-on, but we could launch a surprise attack at night!"

Someone had a mischievous idea upon hearing about the full backpacks.

Others' eyes flashed with greed as well.

Although they weren't lacking food now, it didn't mean they wouldn't run out in the future!

Besides, they couldn't stay in the supermarket forever, eventually needing to leave for a settlement or camp.

If Wang Hao and the others were traveling and not searching for supplies, their gear should be well-suited for escape.

"Forget it, these people seem experienced, planning a night attack would be too risky."

Xiaorui shook his head, rejecting the suggestion decisively.

"Let's just stay here quietly and hope they leave soon. Everyone be quiet, no more talking."

Mmm...

Wang Hao pushed Yueyue away from the area.

Since those people had no ill intentions towards them, he decided to ignore them.

In this apocalyptic survival, there was no need to fight to the death.

About half an hour later, everyone finished searching their respective areas.

They didn't find any Ghouls or zombies.

The food they found was scant, just bits and pieces.

"Damn it, such a big supermarket, and only this much stuff?"

Brother Hu cursed, looking at the piled-up items on the ground.

"No one's a fool! When the snow first fell, of course, they rushed to the supermarket for food.

It's normal for it to be emptied! It's good to even have this much."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Something's not right."

Yang Tian squinted his eyes slightly, scanning the surroundings.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Yang Tian.

"Haven't you noticed how clean some areas are?"

Yang Tian smirked.

"Yes, some areas are quite clean, especially those near the windows."

A guard said in a deep voice, "I looked out the window and saw some Ghoul and zombie corpses."

"I also found some footprints, very repetitive, as if from a specific few people."

Another guard added.

"I discovered some burn marks, some wooden shelves were chopped, and there's sooty residue on top.

Someone's likely been making fires here."

.....

The guards pointed out their findings one by one.

This surprised Wang Hao a bit.

These people were quite impressive!

But then he thought it was reasonable.

After all, this wasn't some mindless novel where only the protagonist is smart, and everyone else is a fool.

Those guards were cannon fodder.

But they were carefully picked by Zhao Hu and Yang Tian from the steel factory.

They were top-notch, one in a hundred.

Some might even be professionally trained.

They had likely searched for supplies more than once before.

It wasn't surprising to find discrepancies.

Without his spiritual power cheat, Wang Hao might not match up to them.

After all, he was just a social animal who had recently stepped into society.

He hadn't undergone professional training.

How could he possibly know everything?

"You're saying there's someone here?"

Zhao Hu's eyes gleamed, surprisingly pleased:

"I thought so, how could such a big supermarket only have bits and pieces?

Looks like the supplies were hidden by people sheltering here."

"Hehe, should we search?"

Yang Tian chuckled, glancing at Li Qian:

"Made a miscalculation this time, should've brought a girl over. Used to being served, it's uncomfortable being alone.

Hope there are a few pretty women among those people! Then we can all enjoy ourselves."

Hearing this, the others' eyes lit up.

Even Zhao Hu was no exception.

At the steel factory, they were like lords.

Feasting and indulging with women.

They wouldn't settle for less outside.

Wang Hao frowned slightly but ultimately said nothing.

He wouldn't actively seek trouble with those people or expose their location, but he wouldn't protect them either.

Ultimately, he was with Zhao Hu's group.
