Chapter 18 Practical Exercise

Morning.

Chen Luo ate a simple and plain breakfast, definitely not eight dishes and a soup.

Shu Yun and the others cooked rice porridge. Why not eat the abundant rice?

Rice porridge could quench thirst and hunger, tasted good, and was easy on the stomach.

There was plenty, as much as you could drink.

After breakfast, Chen Luo gathered everyone together.

"Yesterday, everyone practiced for a day, and today we'll conduct a live combat exercise."

"Today's target is the Yulin residential area to the south, to collect some supplies."

Practice was, after all, practice, and very different from live combat.

Practice used fixed targets. Did zombies stand still? Besides, the tension brought on by charging zombies would affect performance.

What was the use of being accurate in practice if you panicked in live combat?

A girl who knew the situation there said with some difficulty, "I know that place. There are a lot of people there, right?"

More people meant more zombies.

Chen Luo waved his hand. "It's okay, I'm here."

Hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease.

The scene of Chen Luo killing a Level 5 zombie with one sword that day was shocking.

Otherwise, even though Mu Tiange was dead, they wouldn't necessarily listen to a young man in his early twenties, would they?

They were all white-collar workers; weren't they all older than Chen Luo?

It wasn't easy to get others to sincerely admire you.

Fang Yu and Xu Lan were assigned to guard the base.

This time, there was a heavy truck and a bus, enough to transport everyone. Chen Luo sat on the bus.

Yulin residential area was about two kilometers away, and they had to pass through a bustling street.

At first, they just ran over any zombies they encountered.

But when they reached the bustling street, the vehicles couldn't move. Even the heavy truck couldn't crash through; dozens of cars were blocking the road in a chain.

Chen Luo contacted them via the walkie-talkie. "First, rely on the vehicles to clear the zombies following us, then get out of the car and move the vehicles."

"Elemental attacks in front, others protect them."

"Jiang Feng, try to control the number of zombies."

Because the vehicles couldn't move quickly, at least forty or fifty zombies had followed them, plus the zombies that were originally nearby, totaling nearly a hundred.

Jiang Feng got out of the car and immediately ran towards the zombie horde, attracting their attention and leading them away.

The girls opened the bus windows and attacked the zombies outside.

With the protection of the vehicle, the zombies couldn't attack them.

The zombies didn't all come at the same time, and some were led away by Jiang Feng, so Chen Luo's side had more people than zombies.

If there were only a few people, dozens of zombies would be terrifying to the average person.

But with a large number of survivors, they could crush the zombies.

Chen Luo quietly watched the others take action. Moving zombies weren't easy to hit, but the accuracy of the spells was indeed better than on the first day.

After clearing the zombies that were following them, everyone got out of the car to deal with the other zombies that were arriving, while moving the vehicles.

Chen Luo said, "Everyone carry the small cars together and throw them onto the opposite side of the road."

Even Level 1 ability users, even the women, were stronger than ordinary adult men, let alone Level 2.

It was the eighteenth day of the apocalypse. As long as they weren't the type who couldn't absorb a single crystal a day, the survivors who knew the secret of the crystals had all advanced to Level 2.

Because Level 2 was really simple, only requiring the absorption of twenty crystals.

Level 3 was very difficult, requiring about 150. Mi Li and Mi Ling, even Su Dazhu, who had absorbed crystals with Chen Luo on the first day, hadn't reached Level 3 yet.

They would need another two or three days, not as good as Fa Wang, who had advanced in the previous days.

There were also differences between Level 2s. Su Dazhu was at the peak of Level 2, while most people were only at the beginning of Level 2.

Now there were only four girls in the team, and Yang Xuan and a few others who had learned the secret of the crystals too late hadn't advanced to Level 2.

Chen Luo was thinking that tonight he would let a few core members absorb the remaining power in the rat king's crystal. If it wasn't enough, he would let them absorb the Level 5 fire zombie's crystal as well.

Ten people easily threw a small car to the other side of the road.

They slowly advanced. Small cars could pass through many places, but heavy trucks and buses couldn't. Each had its own advantages.

Chen Luo sat in the car like a lord, doing nothing.

He observed while gently stroking Mifan.

Unconsciously, his hand touched Mifan's small belly.

Mifan said something that made Chen Luo feel awkward.

Mifan: "No touching, it still hurts."

Chen Luo: !!!

Mifan: "Even though I can't watch, I can eavesdrop. Last night, I jumped onto the balcony and almost fell. It scared me to death."

Chen Luo's expression changed. This cat knows too much. I need to kill the cat to silence it.

It was necessary to find something for Mifan to do at night, otherwise it would be too idle, and when it was idle, it liked to meddle in other people's business.

He had to make it addicted to the internet and teach it how to use a cell phone.

Ah, big sister-in-law, you should sleep with Mifan when you have time, making it feel like it has no company.

They hadn't even gone halfway, and the girls were almost out of mana. They had killed more than two hundred zombies.

Fortunately, they had passed the traffic jam, and the heavy truck could continue.

When they arrived near their destination, Yulin residential area, Chen Luo ordered, "Get out of the car. Everyone take a weapon and fight the zombies."

The weapons were basically all kinds of sticks or axes. Chen Luo also took out some electric batons for Shu Yun and the others. Even if they ran out of power, the electric batons could still be used as weapons.

It could be said that as long as there weren't hundreds of zombies attacking at the same time, facing the lowest-level zombies at this time, there was still no pressure.

The difficulty was much less than the girls had originally imagined. As expected, there was strength in numbers.

There were a total of more than a dozen restaurants, large and small, on the road at the entrance of the residential area.

Chen Luo said, "Go into the restaurants first and see if there are any supplies to collect. Divide into four teams, don't act alone, and move the collected supplies to the heavy truck."

There were many zombies here, unlike Chen Luo's side where there were few people, so most of the supplies were still there.

Before long, rice, flour, grain, oil, and other items were moved into the heavy truck.

A cheer went up. The girls had discovered a supermarket that didn't seem to have been looted.

The supermarket was about a hundred square meters in size, not small.

Mi Ling's eyes lit up. A supermarket of this size might sell that thing.

Entering the supermarket, what was even more gratifying was that this supermarket also sold bottled purified water. More than twenty barrels of purified water were placed against the wall.

Everyone else's attention was on the water and food.

But Mi Ling was looking for something near the cashier's counter.

She remembered that things like that seemed to be placed next to the counter. She had seen it unconsciously before.

Mi Ling's face lit up with joy. She found it. She grabbed a convenient bag and started filling it.

Shu Yun looked at Mi Ling in confusion. What was she looking for?

She didn't see the specifics of what Mi Ling was packing, but she saw three words: ultra-thin.

Mi Ling felt someone looking at her and saw Shu Yun watching her, and immediately her face turned red.
