Walking into the city of Bar, which was flooded in the snow, we found that the road was covered with heavy snow and there were no footprints or wheel marks on the streets.

It often snows here after winter. Not seeing footprints does not mean that there is no one in the city, but only proves that no one is active outside.

Since the person who fired the flares is likely to have someone else, why did they do this? Is it because we exposed our whereabouts, they want to attract our attention, or is it a pure coincidence?

Gu Yu and I used their respective superpowers to make protective covers, and then walked towards the position where the signal flare was fired.

There are many bright and eye-catching buildings on the roadside, including yellow walls, blue roofs, white walls, red roofs, and pink and white school buildings.

"Ayu, look at the doors and windows of these buildings, many of them have been repaired." I pointed to several buildings facing the street for Gu Yu to show them.

"The total population of Bar Autonomous Region is less than 50,000, and the urban area is even smaller. Even if 70% of the people become zombies, it is a small number for the psychics traveling in groups. I think there must be many small and medium-sized camps that want to settle here."

However, if there are mutant beasts and advanced zombies nearby, it would be a different matter.

If I were a survivor who settled here, I would first consider drinking water and heating issues.

The tap water treatment equipment needs professional maintenance. A year after the end of the world, the water plant and power plant have been shut down. In order to facilitate the nearby water withdrawal, I will not choose to live on the upper floor of the building, nor will I live separately from other companions.

The temperature is extremely low now, and it is a bit difficult to centrally supply heat to the entire city, so I will live with others as much as possible to ensure the heating of one or two buildings, and the premise is that these buildings have independent boilers.

Electric boilers require electricity, and gas boilers require natural gas. Both of these do not meet the current conditions.

Coal-fired boilers must have flue gas emissions, but we didn't see a trace of smoke in the city.

Of course, there is a way to keep warm without a fire. Perhaps the people living here have the ability to generate electricity, just like the time we used electric heating in the snow-capped mountains.

But this probability is very small, and one or two psychics cannot guarantee the daily power consumption of dozens of people.

So I doubted whether anyone lived here for a long time. The brain waves I detected before coming in were in the city center, but now they suddenly disappeared.

We had to go to the location where the signal flare was fired, which was also in the city center, and was only a short distance away from where I discovered the brain waves.

We walked to the city center square and saw a set of footprints in the snow. Someone once stood in the middle of the square, which was exactly where the signal flare was fired.

Then the man returned along the way, but halfway through the way, his footprints suddenly disappeared, and there was a pool of red blood on the snow.

The blood was splashing, unlike the one who had been injured. The person who had relapsed should have encountered a sudden attack when he went back.

Fortunately, his footprints were still very clear when he came, so Gu Yu and I followed the row of footprints to the entrance of a shopping mall.

The mall has four floors, with roller shutter doors on the main doors and snow locked. It seems that it hasn't been opened for a while.

There were no footprints in front of the door. Gu Yu looked up to the second floor of the mall based on the length of the last two footprints from the gate.

Above the shopping mall door is the window on the second floor. Gu Yu pointed to the window facing us and said, "There is no snow on the windowsill, and that window should be open often."

I nodded and said, "He jumped out of the window."

Gu Yu said "yes" and controlled the air, unscrewed the handle of the window from inside, and asked me to wait downstairs and jump into the window on the second floor on the air ladder.

After a while, he stretched out his head and said, "There is a superpower elimination device inside. Don't come in first, wait for me to call you."

I nodded and said yes, feeling fortunately that thing had no effect on him, otherwise his jump in would be like jumping into a trap.

I think of Qin Dong's space cage and sigh that sometimes high-tech products are really hard to guard against.

But Gu Yu did not destroy those superpower elimination devices. I guess he was worried that these superpower elimination devices were not just for us.

There is a superpower elimination device covering it. No wonder I can't detect the brain waves in this building, or when I discovered the brain waves, there was no device here.

This device has just been started, so I think they are mostly for us.

Then the signal flare should be launched to attract us. I looked around and the other party could set up a superpower elimination device in a building, and then put a few in other buildings to hide their existence, and then sneak attack me with superpowers or thermal weapons.

I am not afraid of ordinary superpowers at all, and the threat to me by bullets is greater than that of ordinary superpowers.

But the surroundings were quiet, and five minutes passed and nothing happened until Gu Yu poked his head out of the window on the top floor of the mall and asked me to go up.

I stepped on the dark cloud of spirit and jumped into the window on the second floor. Gu Yu had already cleaned up the superpower elimination devices on the second and third floors.

There was no one from the first floor to the third floor, so the power elimination device placed on these three floors should be specifically targeted at both of us.

I followed Gu Yu to the top floor of the mall. It was too cold here and the temperature was similar to the outside. In such an environment, normal people could not live.

Sure enough, I saw many neatly placed corpses on the ground, all of whom were sitting or curled up.

The corpse has been frozen and hard, and these postures are probably the actions they maintained before their death.

These people were haggard, either starved to death or frozen to death. There were many metal basins and woks in the middle of the ground, with some ashes inside.

Obviously this is the fire basin they used to cook the fire at the beginning, and it seems that it hasn't been burned for a long time.

Although the city is not big, it should be easy to find some firewood. It is incredible that these people were frozen to death.

Besides, if the tree is moved to death, people live. Even if there is no food or drink, at most, you can move to a nest and go to another place to make a living.

I muttered the doubts in my heart to Gu Yu, and he said, "They haven't eaten for too long and are so hungry that they can't move, so they don't have the energy to find firewood. Moreover, they may not leave because they can't leave."

"Can't leave?" I asked in wonder.

"Why do you think it's because you keep the door open and jump into the window?" Gu Yu asked back.

I touched my chin, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid that something will break into the door, or follow them in?"

The reason why there is something is that I think this method is not like being aware of people. If you are aware of people, you will definitely not be able to prevent them.

The doors and windows of the buildings facing the street outside have traces of repair and reinforcement. I thought it was broken by zombies after the disaster broke out.

Now it seems that something else may have attacked the city, survivors who once hid from it, resisting their attacks by strengthening doors and windows.

But something must have happened later, so they could escape, but we didn't know the reason.

At present, we only know that the last small number of survivors starved to death on the top floor of the mall, and they didn't even have the strength to pick up firewood.

I looked at the corpse and frowned, "No, I sensed a lot of brain waves before entering the city!"

I can be sure that this mall is where I sense brain waves, but the superpower elimination device affects my ‘detection’ effect and blocks them.

Gu Yu was about to speak, but suddenly, a dull sound of "bang" came from the other side of the top floor, and Gu Yu and I immediately looked there.

The entire floor space is about 1,000 square meters, and it has been obviously cleaned up. The original shelves and counters of the mall are piled on the side of the window, probably to block some cold air.

The side near the stairs is the sleeping area, and the bodies are neatly placed in this area.

Gu Yu had not checked the shelves and counters before. He made a gesture to me on standby, and then walked gently towards the location where the sound was made.

When he got closer, he found that there were superpower elimination devices on both sides of the shelves. Who would be wary of a bunch of shelves and counters?

There must be something strange about this. Gu Yu walked to the counter that made a sound. The counter was empty. He opened the door below.

Then a curled figure rolled out of the cabinet and let out a low whine from his mouth.

Gu Yu tore open the tape stuck on his mouth, and the man immediately shouted excitedly: "Help, save us!"

Hearing him say 'we', Gu Yu looked at me, and I was ready tacitly. The spiritual black cloud could rush over to control the people who wanted to hurt him at any time.

Gu Yu retreated outside the 'encircle' of the superpower elimination device, and then used air tentacles to open the cabinet door under the other counters.

A total of thirty-five people were pulled out, and his flash was the brain waves I sensed before, but only one of them was awake and the others were in a coma.

Gu Yu asked the man to calm down and asked him a few questions. The man answered all honestly, and they were actually people from the safe area.

I was surprised and listened carefully to the man's story. It turned out that after the safety zone was divided, two differences arose.

Tumu advocated moving overseas, believing that moving to small islands on the sea is safer, while another group of people advocated moving to inland areas such as forests and grasslands. Therefore, a small-scale fierce battle broke out, and then safely distinguished the home.

Only then did I realize that Tumu had taken people away from the temporary station. Even if Gu Yu and I returned to that place smoothly, we would not see his people.

The person who separated from Tumu was Guo Wei. Guo Wei led his followers and some scientific research results in the safe area to the north. They had also taken the lead in the primeval forest, but unfortunately, Xindu also took it there.

When Guo Wei brought people to the primeval forest, Xindu had just set up camp there, and the two waves of people can be said to be in front and back.

Although Xindu was severely hit by the zombie tide, their core strength is still there.

Tumu took away more than half of the psychics in the safe area. With Guo Wei's strength, he was completely unable to compete with Xindu, so they could only continue to move north.

Later they visited Bell City. After seeing so many dead bodies, they gave up their plans to settle there and chose a wider world.

However, there are already people in the Bar Autonomous Region, and Guo Wei and others are as powerful as each other. If they insist on fighting, they will only suffer losses.

Fortunately, the other party is willing to accept them, and even if it is just a temporary peaceful coexistence, they will agree.

They need to rest too much, but they never expected that the so-called peaceful coexistence was just a trap for disguising it.

Even though I know that people's hearts are sinister, I didn't expect that the real danger is not just from the same kind of tragedy.

People harm many people, but people form alliances with mutant beasts, which is rare for them to harm similar people.

But Guo Wei and the others caught up with this matter. They were wary of the people who "kindly" took them in, but in the end they were betrayed by these people and sold them to the mutant beasts that were rampant here.

I suddenly thought of the bloodstains in the snow in the square. Since Guo Wei’s people were locked under the counter, would the person who attacked and released the signal flare be the mutant beast he mentioned?

From the time we entered the city and when the person was attacked, it was very short, and I had not found any brain waves of animals before. Could it be that there were ghost beasts in this city?
