"Husband, I'll go with you," a middle-aged woman also stood up quickly, speaking in a low voice.
"No need. Madam, you stay here and help me look after the people. If we don't return, this place will depend on you," Kang Lian refused with a solemn expression.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were slightly red, her voice choked, and she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word. She could only nod.
Kang Lian led nearly a hundred people and quietly left the room. There were still some wandering zombies around, who were quickly dispatched by the group.
A wind-element ability user stood high in the sky, his eyes narrowed, looking towards the direction where the music was coming from.
He then flew down with a pale face, swaying, and said to the crowd in a low voice, "No, it's still too far, I can't see clearly. We need to get closer to see."
"Alright, let's move closer and have someone else go up to look," Kang Lian commanded.
Hearing this, the crowd surrounded the pale-faced person. While killing the newly attracted zombies, they continued to move closer to the direction of the music.
After advancing some distance.
Another wind-element ability user quickly flew forward for a distance, standing in the air and gazing into the distance. After a few seconds, he quickly descended with a pale face and told the crowd what he saw.
"I saw a group of monsters surrounding two people, but strangely, the monsters around those two people were not moving."
Two people? Only two people came? Wasn't it the Emperor who sent people to save us? The crowd was instantly disappointed.
Kang Lian, worthy of being the prefect, directly heard the problem in the words.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless ice blades appeared in his hands, and after quickly killing the approaching zombies, he asked in a deep voice, "Did you see clearly? The monsters around them were not moving? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
...
Luo Yunshi was thinking of a plan: should they work together to lure out a small portion of the zombies to kill them, or what else should they do.
Last time in Qing'an County, the number of zombies there was already her and Mingzhu's limit when they lured them out together, and those were all ordinary zombies at the time.
But the number of zombies here was too great, and many of them were Level 1 zombies.
If she did the same thing again, would it lure out an even smaller portion of zombies, causing more zombies in the city to become restless and more easily discover the survivors inside?
Even if the speaker's control range was 200 meters, the prefectural city was so large, the difficulty had clearly increased!
The situation was tense, and Luo Yunshi had no time to think carefully.
At this moment, she looked around and saw the ability user standing high in the sky in the distance.
Luo Yunshi's eyes lit up. Perhaps there was a turn of events.
"Let's go! We'll go there first, there are survivors over there." After speaking, she picked up the speaker and pulled Ming Yi, sitting on a flying device, and quickly moved towards the direction of the survivors.
The flying device was very fast, reaching them almost instantly.
The two arrived, landed, and put away the flying device. The zombies that had been attacking around them instantly stopped moving.
The scene before them, nearly a hundred people, looked on in amazement, but did not forget to kill the zombies.
Luo Yunshi saw a thin-faced middle-aged man in official attire, leading nearly a hundred people. It was likely that many people had gathered here.
Without further ado, in this critical moment, she went straight to the point.
"We two are here to investigate the situation and rescue people. My lord, besides you, are there any other survivors in the city?" Luo Yunshi asked directly.
The middle-aged man's face showed joy upon hearing Luo Yunshi's words.
The zombies around them were unable to move; he had seen it with his own eyes. Even if the distant zombies could still move, these two people were the only hope for the people in the city to survive, so they had to take a gamble.
"Please follow me, both of you." The man immediately turned and walked back.
Luo Yunshi and Ming Yi quickly followed.
Because Luo Yunshi was holding the speaker, everyone walked and killed the zombies that couldn't move. Relying on the speaker, they forcefully carved a path out of the zombie encirclement.
"The crystal cores in the zombies' heads are very useful. Everyone, collect them."
At Luo Yunshi's reminder, although they didn't understand, they still dug out crystal cores from the zombies' heads.
The group arrived at the place where the survivors were staying.
After Luo Yunshi entered, she took a rough look. Inside, there were probably less than a thousand people. Everyone's face was emaciated, and some were even lying down, unable to get up.
"Wait for me here." Luo Yunshi handed the speaker to Ming Yi and, with a thought, instantly located back to the fast-food restaurant.
She put away the speaker from the modern apocalypse and the rabbit food truck from the ancient apocalypse. Then she instantly returned to the room.
She took out the speaker and the rabbit food truck from the system's backpack.
The speaker was turned on and set to maximum volume.
"Ming Yi, you hold the speaker and go to the side first," Luo Yunshi instructed.
When Ming Yi saw Luo Yunshi take out two speakers, he instantly understood her thoughts. He nodded, picked up a speaker, and ran away.
Kang Lian saw this and understood something, so he quickly had half of the ability users go to help.
"This is the food truck..." Luo Yunshi briefly explained how to use it to everyone.
"Give me a crystal core."
Kang Lian walked forward with a crystal core, and according to Luo Yunshi's explanation and help, quickly exchanged for points and bought 500 points worth of food.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up. Soon, other ability users also exchanged the crystal cores they had obtained from killing zombies for points and purchased supplies.
The food was first distributed to the dying civilians. As recommended by Luo Yunshi, they bought many boxed lunches that could enhance or awaken abilities.
After eating the boxed lunches, those without abilities felt much better, and those with abilities replenished their depleted powers.
Seeing that the situation of everyone had improved, Luo Yunshi looked at Kang Lian and asked, "About how many survivors are there in the city?"
Kang Lian analyzed it in his mind before saying, "According to my estimation, there are at most 300,000 survivors in the city."
"This..." Luo Yunshi was at a loss for what to do upon hearing this.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "The two of us can lure a small group of zombies outside the city to kill them."
Kang Lian's eyes lit up. "Then we are much obliged, young lady! This will also give the people in the city a chance to breathe."
Luo Yunshi nodded. "Alright, you are more familiar with where people are in the city. You can hold onto this speaker first. I'll have the rabbit food truck follow you."
Luo Yunshi was not afraid of others coveting the fast-food restaurant's speaker if it was handed over to someone else. This was because anything from the restaurant, as long as it was outside, she could retrieve it with a single thought, much like a master-recognized magic item in the cultivation world.
Kang Lian nodded, clasped his fist, bowed, and thanked her solemnly, "Thank you, young lady, for your great righteousness. I will now lead my men to rescue the people in the city."
"Good! Do not touch any other part of the speaker. If the music stops, it will be over." After reminding him, Luo Yunshi called Ming Yi, and the two, riding a cloud flying device and holding another speaker to attract zombies, flew towards the city gate.
They arrived at the city gate. Luo Yunshi jumped off the flying device and quickly opened the city gate. Then she got back on the flying device to attract a wave of zombies.
Following the previous method, this time they coordinated with Ming Yi.
With a thought, Luo Yunshi instantly moved away from the zombie horde, stood in the distance, took out a tank, aimed, and fired.
"Boom!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
After a few shots, a portion of the zombies that had been lured out were instantly shattered into pieces.
However, the loud noises attracted even more zombies from inside the city.
Just as Luo Yunshi was about to continue firing, she found that she had run out of ammunition.
"Damn it! Failed at the crucial moment," Luo Yunshi was frustrated.
