Outliers of the Apocalypse Chapter 4

Kaison Liu. This name passed through Daxton Xu's mind twice, and it matched a person in the book. Could it be Kaison Liu?

The people below are still communicating.

"Kaison Liu, you are the only person in our team who has awakened his powers. Those who are capable have to work hard." Another person laughed, "I remember what your ability is? Smell? It's good as a bait, hahahaha... ."

"Yes, yes." Kaison Liu's voice was very small, and it quickly blended into the laughter of the people around him.

Suddenly, the captain who had been tinkering with the device whistled. He placed the device on the ground and called for a circle of people around him to take a look.

Seeing this, Daxton Xu suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The detector is installed, and we will walk along the street for a while. Remember that our priority goal is to find survivors. We talked about the combat operation yesterday, but I don't even remember."

"Oh!" Several people echoed.

"Okay, then I'll open it." The captain clicked a button on the device.

As soon as the device was turned on, the green screen turned red before it lasted half a second. From Daxton Xu's perspective, everyone below them jumped up from the ground.

"What, what is going on? The infected person is less than ten meters away from us?" one of them screamed.

"Idiot, don't say anything. You have attracted all the infected people." Another person patted him on the head.

The captain calmly waved his hand, and everyone except Kaison Liu picked up their guns in unison, quickly dispersed, and quickly disappeared from Daxton Xu's sight.

Daxton Xu's heart skipped a beat. The store was so big, how could he not know if there were any infected people? This infected person alarm is most likely related to the medicine injected into him. No matter what, he didn't want to face the Fire Sanctuary right now.

He forced himself to calm down and analyzed rapidly in his mind. First, they determined that the infected people were less than ten meters away from them but moved dispersedly, which meant that they were unable to pinpoint their location accurately. If so, there is an opportunity.

Daxton Xu stood up gently. The second floor was relatively hidden and they would not be able to find it for a while. But before that, he had to make some preparations to welcome them.

He glanced at Kaison Liu, who was staying where he was. To be honest, he was really hungry for the bag on Kaison Liu's back, feeling that there would be a lot of supplies.

The bag-stealing plan quickly took shape in his mind, and he thought, why not check to see if Kaison Liu was who he thought he was.

If so, he would have to think about how to kidnap the person. After all, once Kaison Liu's superpower grows up, it will be a big help to survive in the end of the world.

A few minutes later, Daxton Xu finished arranging everything on the second floor, then carefully walked to the ladder and waited quietly until the slightest sound of conversation came from downstairs again.

"Captain, there are stairs to go up here." A team member whispered,

The corners of Daxton Xu's lips curled up slightly. He pressed his body against the blind spot on the second floor, holding his breath and listening to the movement coming from below.

The captain didn't know what he did. The restlessness downstairs gradually became weaker, and soon there was the sound of muffled conversations.

"Kaison Liu, stay here and protect yourself." The captain said to Kaison Liu.

"To be precise, protect your supplies, those food are more valuable than you." Someone mocked.

"Yes, yes..." Kaison Liu whispered.

After the conversation ended, Daxton Xu leaned against the wall and heard the rustling sound of clothing materials, occasionally mixed with the dull collision of metal. It was conceivable that they came up with guns. Daxton Xu swallowed slowly and was highly concentrated.

One step, two steps, there are deep footsteps on the stairs.

Three steps, four steps, these people moved extremely fast and well-trained, and they were already reaching the second floor in just a few breaths.

Daxton Xu exhaled slowly, his palms sweating while holding the rope.

Five steps, six steps, the footsteps were so close, Daxton Xu could even hear a slight gasp. His heart beat like a drum, reminding himself over and over again that it was not the right time yet.

Seven steps, eight steps, now!

Daxton Xu pulled hard on the rope in his hand, and a piece of rusty iron fell down, hitting the weakest part of the staircase.

The rickety staircase shook violently and collapsed unexpectedly. When it collapsed, several people on top of it fell to the ground.

The captain had quick eyesight and quick hands. At the moment before the stairs collapsed completely, he rushed forward and grabbed the edge of the second floor.

Daxton Xu had a stern look on his face. He was indeed a well-trained soldier with quick reflexes. But he didn't plan to do anything in the past, but rushed to the window in a few steps.

The sound of glass breaking suddenly hurt people's eardrums. In the view of several people downstairs, a black figure smashed the window and rushed out of the convenience store.

The captain heard the sound and reacted immediately. He quickly dropped his hand holding the second floor, fell to the ground and shouted.

"Everyone except Kaison Liu rushed to me! The infected person ran outside the store. It is currently speculated that he has preliminary intelligence and may be infected person zero!"

The rolling shutter door opened, and the captain rushed out with a few people. At the same time, Daxton Xu, who was still on the second floor, took advantage of the chaos and climbed up the ladder to the rooftop of the convenience store, and then went down to the ground from the fire escape on the other side.

He hid at the corner of the street and carefully watched the people running away. The mannequin he just threw can't delay much, it moves quickly.

After several people had completely run away, Daxton Xu ran to the door of the convenience store, and happened to meet Kaison Liu about to close the rolling shutter door. He made a prompt decision, stretched out his hand against the rolling shutter door and pushed it upward.

Kaison Liu was so frightened by this that he fell to the ground, looked at Daxton Xu who suddenly appeared in horror, and asked with trembling lips.

"You, who are you?"

Daxton Xu had no idea how bad his image was, and instead put on a smile that he thought was friendly.

"Hey, you come to me so proactively for my supplies?" Daxton Xu said, glancing at the young man's neck subtly.

It's unmistakable. Although the boy wore a high collar to cover it up, some traces of numbers were still exposed, which happened to correspond to Daxton Xu's setting.
