Driving an armored vehicle, Luo Yunshi and her group quickly arrived at the Haoyunlai Fast Food restaurant.
Everyone got out of the car, and Luo Yunshi put away the vehicle and the speaker. She then placed the five cartloads of items from her system backpack onto a flatbed cart, exactly as they were.
"Everyone go inside first. After entering, read the store rules."
The more than thirty people looked at the peculiar building with surprise and apprehension.
Chaoyang and Shangguan Wen, along with a third person, saw everyone return and their eyes lit up with joy. They hurried out to greet them.
Luo Yunshi entered the store and addressed the group, "Everyone, please read the store rules upon entering, and then proceed to redeem your points. Those who do not purchase anything in the store may only stay for half an hour. Those who purchase items can stay for 3 hours."
After explaining, she also wrote this rule on the store regulations to save further explanations later.
Mingzhu and Chaoyang, as employees, also showed great initiative by stepping forward to greet customers and teach them how to use the redemption machines.
Soon, all 38 people had redeemed their points.
The two young employees then began recommending special dishes and the affordable food items in the supermarket upstairs, doing a commendable job.
Shangguan He and others also came forward to help.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi felt relieved.
With nearly two hours remaining, she decided to visit the county town to assess the situation.
"Mingzhu, come with me. We're going to the county town to take a look."
"Okay, Sister Luo!" Mingzhu quickly stepped forward.
Shangguan He heard this and also approached, "Why don't the two of us go with you? Qing'an County has a population of 200,000, and the number of zombies must be considerable. There's strength in numbers."
"No need. Neither Mingzhu nor I can be harmed by people or zombies. It would be too dangerous for you to go. We'll go check the situation first."
Shangguan He was silent for a moment, then said with solemn seriousness, "Alright! Even if neither of you can be harmed, you must still be careful. People's hearts are complex, especially in these chaotic times."
Luo Yunshi understood his meaning and smiled, nodding. "Uncle He, don't worry."
With that, she led Mingzhu outside the store and flew towards the distance in a flying device.
"Mingzhu, stay close to me later. Let's try not to separate."
"Okay!" Mingzhu nodded, her expression serious.
The two quickly flew above Qing'an County town.
The scene before them made their scalps tingle.
The county town gates were tightly shut. Numerous zombies were at the gate, climbing over each other towards the city walls. They were dense.
Below the city tower, many corpses lay on the ground, blood flowing like a river.
Inside the city, over a thousand zombies roamed around, emitting strange noises, as if mourning the town's residents or perhaps paying respects to their fallen zombie brethren.
"Damn it!" Luo Yunshi couldn't help but curse.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly controlled the flying device and flew further away. She then took out a tank from her system backpack and aimed it at the horde of zombies at the city wall, saying to Mingzhu,
"Watch my operation carefully. Remember as much as you can."
"Okay!"
Luo Yunshi gritted her teeth and operated quickly. Install, fire.
Boom! Boom!
A roar erupted, and flames shot into the sky. The deafening explosions echoed throughout the entire county town.
The tank's shells instantly pulverized the zombie horde below the city tower. Limbs and body parts flew outwards, landing on the ground.
A large section of the city wall also collapsed immediately.
The survivors inside the county town trembled upon hearing the explosions outside, daring not to emerge.
"Brother, I'll go out and check the situation!" a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy whispered, preparing to go out.
"Little Six, don't. Let's wait until the monsters outside move further away," a man in his twenties with a resolute expression quickly reached out to stop him.
"It's fine, I can fly using wind manipulation! I'll just take a look and come back. It's safe."
"Don't be ridiculous! With your abilities, you can't fly far before you collapse. If Old Five hadn't run over to save you last time, you'd be dead by now." The man glared at the boy.
"Little Six, just listen to Brother Shen! Out of over 50 brothers, only these 30 of us are left. Let's go out together when there are fewer monsters," a woman in her early twenties also quickly said in a low voice.
"Sister Qing'er..." Zhao Xiaoliu looked resentful. He then sighed and plopped down on the ground. "Sigh! Alright!"
After bombarding the zombies, Luo Yunshi and Mingzhu boarded the flying device again and flew towards the sky above the county town.
"Later, we'll find a way to lure the zombies out. Preferably to a place far outside the city."
Luo Yunshi finished speaking, took out the speaker, and shouted multiple times along the county town's streets. "Are there any survivors in the city? If there are people, hide well later and don't come out! I'll lure the zombies out of the city."
As expected, Luo Yunshi's shouting attracted countless zombies.
"Whoa, let's go! If there are any zombies in the distance that aren't keeping up, use your ice abilities to kill them."
With that, she continued to shout while flying towards the outside of the county town, adjusting her flight speed perfectly so the zombies could just barely keep up.
In this manner, Mingzhu used her ice abilities to kill distant zombies, while Luo Yunshi fired her gun and shouted, attracting the zombies' attention.
The two cooperated, using various methods, and spent over half an hour luring tens of thousands of zombies far outside the city.
"Alright! You hold the speaker and sit on the flying device, killing zombies." Luo Yunshi instructed, then turned the speaker's music to its maximum volume, placed it on the flying device, and then flew the device even higher.
"Sister Luo, what about you? Where are you going?" Mingzhu asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I'll fly further away and bomb them again. You wait here."
Luo Yunshi finished speaking, flew to a spot not far from the county town, took out a tank from her system backpack, found her bearing, aimed at the direction of the zombies, and fired.
Boom! Boom!
Soon, a large number of zombies below Shangguan Mingzhu fell.
"Wow! Haha, exciting!" she exclaimed, continuing to fire.
Boom! Boom!
The zombies were quickly blown to pieces.
Seeing this, Shangguan Mingzhu's blood boiled, and she also sped up her use of her abilities.
Soon, the scattered remaining zombies had their heads pierced by her ice cones and died on the spot.
Luo Yunshi saw this, put away the tank, and smiled. She then used her teleportation ability to return to the flying device.
"Sister Luo is amazing!" Shangguan Mingzhu praised with a smile.
"Mingzhu is also amazing! Let's go! We're going into the city!"
Luo Yunshi led Mingzhu into the city. The city gates had already collapsed, and the zombies were killed. This was the best time to enter the county town.
Upon entering the county town, they were met with a strong smell of decay, mixed with the distinct腥味 of zombies.
Luo Yunshi frowned.
Those with bolder hearts, hearing the sounds of the zombies retreating, cautiously crept out to assess the situation. Among them were Zhao Xiaoliu and his group.
They emerged just as Luo Yunshi and Mingzhu flew back.
The two parties exchanged glances.
