"Boss Luo, hello. I wanted to ask if this rabbit food truck comes to the base every day?"
Hearing this, Luo Yunshi nodded. "Mm, yes. From now on, the food truck will stop at Base B for two hours every day before heading to other bases. I believe two hours should be enough for people at the base to buy supplies, right?"
Hearing Luo Yunshi's words, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two chatted briefly. Liu Yuan became visibly excited upon hearing about the capsule hotel that could accommodate 3,000 people and the medical pods that could cure all diseases at Hao Yun Lai.
After hanging up the video call, he selected a large quantity of supplies from the food truck and booked some rooms for everyone in the capsule hotel above. Then, he prepared to lead a group of people and all the severely injured from the base to Hao Yun Lai.
When the people at the base heard that the Hao Yun Lai fast-food restaurant had a capsule hotel, many of them also booked rooms from the food truck.
Keys, slippers, and towels were received instantly. Carrying their large bags, everyone also planned to follow the base leader's convoy to the fast-food restaurant.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan did not stop them. After all, the hotel was much better than the living quarters of the lowest-class citizens in the base, and it was safe and secure.
Thus, over a thousand people, in dozens of vehicles, set off towards the fast-food restaurant in a grand procession.
Due to the large number of people departing, they attracted quite a few zombies along the way. However, with the combined efforts of many ability users, they managed to reach Hao Yun Lai fast-food restaurant without any major incidents.
Luo Yunshi instructed Shen Yilan and the two new employees, "The base leader from Base B will likely be bringing a group of people soon. There might be a lot of them, so keep an eye out. Don't let any chaos erupt, and blacklist anyone who violates the rules. I'll be leaving with Deng Feng."
The three nodded in agreement.
Luo Yunshi, along with Deng Feng, instantly transported themselves to the Hao Yun Lai fast-food restaurant in the ancient apocalypse. She approached some of the employees and, pointing at Deng Feng, said,
"Let me introduce you all. His name is Deng Feng, and he is also an employee of Hao Yun Lai. He's a spatial ability user, and he can also drive armored vehicles and tanks."
After letting the employees get acquainted with each other, Luo Yunshi brought out an armored vehicle from the employee dormitory courtyard.
"Deng Feng, you'll teach these few people how to drive the armored vehicle. Try to get them to learn as quickly as possible," she instructed him.
"Alright! I'll teach them as quickly as I can," Deng Feng agreed with a nod.
"Good. I'll take Ming Yi to the prefectural city to check on the situation first," Luo Yunshi said, then left with Ming Yi.
...
Luo Yunshi and Ming Yi, riding the Golden Bell Shield cloud aircraft, flew according to the map all the way to Qingfu Prefecture City.
Looking down from high above, they saw zombies inside and outside the city. The density was shocking.
The number of zombies was several times greater than in Qingan County.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi couldn't help but gasp.
"Sister Luo, what should we do?" Ming Yi, seeing the density of zombies below, became extremely nervous. It was also his first time seeing so many zombies.
Luo Yunshi observed the zombies below, her eyes flashing slightly. Some of the zombies in the city seemed different from the others.
Suddenly, Luo Yunshi looked at a corner below, her brow furrowed.
She saw that in a corner of the southern part of the city, a few zombies were tearing at each other.
After one zombie bit and killed several others, it extended its bloody hand and dug out several cone-shaped stones of different colors from the other zombies' heads.
Luo Yunshi saw clearly that the stones contained a rich amount of energy. These were likely the zombie crystal cores from this ancient place.
"This is bad, the zombies in the prefectural city have evolved," Luo Yunshi said with a grave tone. She then lowered her voice and warned Ming Yi,
"Ming Yi, watch below, let's go quickly."
With that, she piloted the aircraft and sped towards them. She took out the Dog-Beating Stick from her system inventory. Just as the zombie was about to swallow the few crystal cores,
"Bang!"
The Dog-Beating Stick directly struck the zombie's head, instantly splattering its brains and splitting its skull open.
Luo Yunshi grabbed the falling crystal core with one hand and quickly collected the other crystal cores from the other zombies with Ming Yi.
The commotion they caused instantly attracted countless zombies wandering the streets.
The zombies quickly ran towards their direction from all sides.
Hoo! Hoo!
The zombies let out hoarse, unpleasant growls, their gray eyes fixed on the two.
Ming Yi swallowed hard. Luo Yunshi also tightened her grip on the Dog-Beating Stick.
Level one zombies appeared more agile when running, and it was quite noticeable when placed among ordinary zombies.
And at least half of the zombies in front of them were Level one.
"My goodness, there are quite a few Level one zombies in this city! How are we going to deal with this?" Luo Yunshi said as she used the Dog-Beating Stick to blow the zombies' heads off.
The Dog-Beating Stick moved with incredible speed. One zombie after another had its head blown off.
The zombies surged forward madly, and soon, the two were surrounded.
The two remained expressionless, showing no fear.
Although these Level one zombies were more agile than ordinary zombies, they were not much of a threat to them. After all, they were completely safe when traveling outside. Even if zombies came close, it was like hitting a protective film, unable to touch them in the slightest.
Luo Yunshi remembered something she had forgotten and her eyes lit up. She quickly took out a speaker, turned on the music, and cranked up the volume.
"Seeing cockroaches, I'm not scared, not scared, not scared~
My nerves are strong, not scared, not scared, not scared~
Cowardice only makes you more haggard~
Numbness is also a brave performance..."
As the music played, the zombies within a 200-meter radius instantly froze. Zombies further than 200 meters continued to push inwards, and those who couldn't push through began to climb, attempting to scale the zombie wall in front of them.
The two killed zombies while picking up crystal cores, walking into the frozen zombie群.
Bang!
Boom!
Hoo! Hoo!
The roars of countless zombies, the sound of the Dog-Beating Stick striking, and the explosions of fireballs intertwined, creating a spectacular scene.
"Sister Luo, this won't work. More and more zombies are surrounding us. Even if we are unharmed, fighting so many zombies like this will exhaust us to death," Ming Yi said worriedly as he watched the surrounding zombies continuously increase.
Luo Yunshi nodded. She knew that this was not an effective way to solve the problem.
However, with just the two of them, it was difficult to lure out all the zombies from the city as they had before.
...
Meanwhile, survivors hiding in their homes within the city heard the sound of music playing outside. Although they didn't know what could play music so loudly, they knew for sure that someone had arrived in the city.
"Lord Kang, it seems someone has arrived outside. Perhaps the Emperor has sent people to rescue us," a man in yamen uniform said to the middle-aged man beside him in a hushed, excited tone.
Kang Lian heard this and sneered.
Heh! How could that emperor possibly do that? Ever since the Emperor banished the entire family of General Zhongyong, he had been utterly disappointed with the emperor.
He tightened the sleeves of his official uniform and said calmly in a low voice, "Mm, quite a few of the surrounding monsters have been drawn away by that music. Those with peculiar abilities, follow me with your weapons. The rest of you, stay in your houses and don't come out."
