The Scavengers

Chapter 16: Failure to capture the target on the first attempt

19 June, before 17:00

“Ding! Target is near, recycler Xiao Mo, please be ready to recycle the target.” Warning alarms sounded inside his mind. His rational mind that was forced to leave home due to his hunger was finally pulled back into place.

Oh yes, the kid! He also almost forgot his mission! What was happening to him?

The kid pounced on him, Xiao Mo grasped him and moved him behind himself protectively before facing the woman that was chasing the kid.

This woman, was the Mother of Gluttony.

There was not a single trace of humanity in her eyes. She had already tasted the forbidden blood and meat, and now, only that, will bring happiness to her.

There was something telling her, like an ability; that out of all the meat she had tasted, this kid in front of her, was the best, and eating him would bring about great benefit to her.

Xiao Mo kicked the woman that pounced. He saw that the woman’s face that was covered in blood had distorted.

It was barely a second of thinking, but by the time he decided, the woman was long out of his sight.

Such super speed, it was barely a few seconds! Xiao Mo was astonished.

The supermarket manager who had a heartache because of all the food wasted and robbed, finally screamed through the loudspeaker, “The police have arrived, you bunch of robbers, no one is escaping today!”

The police entered, so Xiao Mo was unable to chase after Li Xiao Shuang. The supermarket and the few exits were now completely taken over by the police and no one was able to get out.

The chaos at the first floor was finally suppressed by the police and all was finally back to normal.

The police requested that shoppers finish choosing their items and queue up at the cashier to make payment. As a reward, those that were not captured by the police need not used the shopping vouchers.

Xiao Mo heard and followed the other shoppers obediently, walking down to the first floor to queue for payment.

The kid spotted him and ran out from the corner towards him.

Xiao Mo smiled to him. The kid suddenly held his hand and squeezed it hard.

Xiao Mo’s trembling hand finally ceased to shake so badly. At least, he looked normal, like the people around him. There were still others that were still shaking with excitement.

The first floor was a mess, with all the items scattered around the floor and shelves. The people who created the chaos was all under control.

Xiao Mo glanced at the freezer aisle. There were patches of blood, whether it was the people biting or being bitten, they were all gone.

“Where is the Mother of Gluttony now?” Xiao Mo asked softly.

The map appeared, the red dot was moving towards the park.

“It is 16:25 now. 1 hour and 23 minutes from now, if you are unable to complete the mission, you will be wiped out.” The system announced coldly.

Xiao Mo tried hard to calm himself down.
