That night, several people finalized the groups and routes, and they discussed until very late before dispersing.
Early the next morning, the three teams set off together, driving three cars respectively, and headed towards one of the supply points pointed out by Li Yanting.
Among them, the bus had a large internal space and was used to load supplies. Li Yanting and Duan Zhanfeng were in the front and rear, responsible for leading the way and guarding the rear.
The first supply point was located on the east side of the town, only two blocks away from the slaughterhouse in the east of the town. The zombies gathered more densely as they went east.
The journey was not smooth. The group took a long detour and still couldn’t find a street with fewer zombies to drive into.
In the end, they had no choice but to abandon the car and walk.
After several fierce battles, the eleven-person team naturally dispersed.
Lan Duo followed the plan and stayed close to Ji Hui’s team, while Li Yanting took Hesheng and Da Kun and turned into the shadows, pretending to leave the team midway. They randomly drove a car from the roadside and headed towards another location.
They pretended not to know about the tail following behind them and successfully drove away from this zombie-infested block. After several turns, they finally walked to the vicinity of the town’s east slaughterhouse, where the zombies were most dense.
They opened a private garage in a high-rise residential building in the east of the town and took out a car from it.
Then, they used tools to pry open the elevator and entered the elevator shaft, transporting out several boxes containing “supplies” hidden inside and loading them into the car.
At this point, the part of setting up the bait was all completed.
Li Yanting and Da Kun went deep into the elevator shaft again, and Hesheng guarded outside, finally waiting for Duan Zhanfeng, who had been observing in secret, and the other two ability users in his team.
“You’re here.”
Hesheng showed a happy expression and, in front of Duan Zhanfeng, took down the tool for prying open the elevator door. The elevator door immediately closed, trapping Li Yanting and Da Kun inside.
Some sounds of attack came from the elevator shaft. Hesheng looked flustered and ran to Duan Zhanfeng’s side, as if afraid that Li Yanting would break open the elevator shaft and come out.
“Let’s go quickly!” Hesheng urged.
“Hesheng, you did a good job this time.”
Duan Zhanfeng patted Hesheng’s shoulder affectionately, first roughly looked at the supplies in the car, and then satisfiedly took the two ability users into the car, but left Hesheng outside.
“I haven’t gotten in the car yet!”
Seeing that they had closed the car door and the car engine was roaring, Hesheng pretended to be anxious and knocked on the car window.
“Hesheng, there’s really no room for anyone else in the car. I’ll take the supplies back first, and you wait here for me to come back and pick you up.”
Duan Zhanfeng lowered the car window, showing a smile that he thought was “reliable,” and comforted her perfunctorily.
If that incident hadn’t happened yesterday, Duan Zhanfeng might have taken Hesheng with him.
But yesterday’s incident made him feel humiliated and suppressed anger. He wanted to return all the shame he had suffered from Li Yanting to Hesheng without missing a single point.
What’s more, Hesheng didn’t have any abilities and had long lost her value to him. It wouldn’t hurt to deal with her sooner.
It was just a pity that he hadn’t tasted her taste yet.
After Duan Zhanfeng finished speaking, he raised the car window and drove away.
Hesheng pretended to chase a few steps behind and shouted a few times. When the car drove out of the corner, she slowly stopped and returned to the elevator door, knocking on the door.
“Come out, they’re gone,” Hesheng said.
“Step back,” Li Yanting shouted.
Hesheng obediently stepped back a little, and then the thick elevator door shattered into pieces like a piece of paper in the lightning released by Li Yanting.
“What do we do now?”
Da Kun jumped out of the elevator shaft and was finally able to take a closer look at the layout here. This was a private garage, and it had not been invaded by zombies due to its good airtightness.
The three of them took the stairs to the second floor. At this moment, the streets outside could be described as a dance of demons.
After Duan Zhanfeng went out, he attracted more zombies to gather, making it even more difficult to get in and out.
“Now, we’re going to get the third supply left by my father!” Hesheng grabbed the corner of Li Yanting’s clothes and took out a rough map she had drawn last night from her pocket.
It was a blueprint of the town’s underground air-raid shelter, which her father had forced her to memorize when he was alive, and now it had become her life-saving reliance.
There were a total of three supplies left by Hesheng’s father in the town that had not been touched. What she told everyone was only the two smaller ones, and now they were going to the largest supply point among the three.
And what they had just given to Duan Zhanfeng was an abandoned warehouse that Hesheng had discovered in her previous life. Only the outermost box contained some expired canned food and ham sausages, and everything inside was waste.
Hesheng: “The supply point is not far from here, just in an abandoned hospital in the north, only one kilometer in a straight line.”
But this one-kilometer journey passed through a civilian area and a no-man’s land. When the town had not yet fallen, this place was extremely crowded, dirty, and chaotic.
Now it was even more densely packed with zombie hordes, and it was simply a fantasy to cross it.
“The reason why my father chose this place is because there is an air-raid shelter built here. This air-raid shelter should be open to the public in the event of an attack. There may be many zombies inside now, but it must be fewer than on the ground.”
Hesheng took out a pen from her pocket and circled several entrances and exits around this area on the map, and then drew a straight line between two of the circles.
It wasn’t the shortest route, but it minimized the risks.
“The nearest entrance is in the basement of the red building in the northern block.”
“We’ll set off now, you stay close to me.” Li Yanting took her hand back.
Now all the zombies were gathered on the ground. They had been diverted by Duan Zhanfeng’s car sound, although the density was still very high, it was enough for them to clear a path.
Hesheng nodded. In her previous life, she had spent three years of the five years of the apocalypse wandering and escaping.
During that time, she had faced zombies alone countless times and had already learned how to protect herself and how to minimize harm in the process of tempering.
Li Yanting jumped from the second floor into the zombie horde. The moment he landed, his right hand rolled up a whirlwind, and his left hand turned into lightning.
The whirlwind wrapped in lightning swirled into the zombie horde that had just begun to become active, cutting off all the zombies within a five-meter radius at the chest.
For a time, flesh and blood flew, and the sounds of whimpering and creaking were endless.
Even though Hesheng had seen many ability users use their abilities to fight zombies in her previous life, she was still shocked by Li Yanting’s strength.
The open space on the ground was created by Li Yanting using his ability, and it would consume too much ability to continue.
Hesheng stood by the window and bit her lip, jumping down without hesitation.
Da Kun, who was just about to pick up Hesheng and jump down, was stunned for a moment and had a new appreciation for this delicate woman for the first time.
Li Yanting was also surprised by Hesheng’s behavior of jumping down by herself. Without thinking too much, he raised his right hand and used a whirlwind to lift Hesheng up, while killing zombies and pulling her into his arms.
“Be careful.”
Li Yanting frowned and hugged the person in his arms tightly. His eyes glanced at the outer edge of the zombies, where a deformed zombie was rapidly approaching at a speed that ordinary zombies could not reach.
At the same time, Da Kun had already jumped down from the building. He stretched out his hands in mid-air, and a cold, iron-like light appeared in his palms. Then, the sound of metal colliding rang out from all directions.
The discarded metal frames piled up in the corners downstairs came in response, dragging sparks and lightning on the ground, ruthlessly crushing the zombies along the way, and steadily landing in front of the group.
At this time, Li Yanting had already solved the deformed zombie, grabbed Hesheng’s arm and threw her onto the high platform on the frame, and then used a whirlwind to lift himself up.
More and more zombies gathered at the sound, and the streets that had been empty were now crowded with zombies.
Li Yanting used a whirlwind to wrap lightning and swept the road ahead, and Da Kun controlled the iron frame to follow closely, occupying the open space.
The two ability users tacitly controlled several iron frames, like building bridges in the water in the zombie tide, and forcibly crossed the entire block.
