Chapter 63: Lake Island Team

The two walked along the lake for a while and arrived at the nearest bridge. The bridge was now jammed with fleeing vehicles and no one could walk on it.

There were many zombies at the bridgehead and on the bridge, but the zombies seemed not to see them. Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing just walked past them as if nothing had happened.

They stood abruptly among the zombies, and the zombies ignored them, not to mention attacking them.

A zombie came over and brushed past Xi Qing, completely ignoring her. If other survivors saw it, they would probably be shocked.

This is the ability Yun Shuhuai gained after reaching level 5 - Energy Shield. This is not a new skill, it is an ability that extends from the Energy Shield. When she turns on the Energy Shield, she can also shield her own aura, which is effective against zombies of lower levels than her. The duration is the same as the Energy Shield, so it cannot be turned on all the time.

She is currently at level 5, and she was upgraded not long ago. It took her a long time to absorb nearly 30,000 crystal cores.

There are really a lot of zombies in the university city. She originally planned to reach level 5 when she arrived in H City, but now she has achieved her goal, and her ability has been greatly enhanced again. Her Energy Shield can now last for 30 minutes, and she has an additional energy shielding ability.

Xi Qing will also be at level 5 soon. She has consumed a small amount of crystal cores, and 20% of the crystal cores are completely enough for her to upgrade.

However, it would be difficult for them to level up again. Yun Shuhuai would have to spend more than 150,000 crystal cores to reach level 6! Even if there were more level 2 zombies now, she would have to kill at least 100,000 zombies to level up.

There are not many zombies in the university town now. Although there were many people here before the end of the world, many people also escaped after the accident. What's more, the zombies have legs, so they will not stay in one place all the time. If they encounter other survivors or vehicles, they will be led to other places. In addition, they have killed many of them in the past few days. The rest are either in buildings or wandering in the narrow and inconvenient places on campus. These may be a big threat to other survivors, but to Yun Shuhuai and the others, they are not worth worrying about.

They planned to stay here for a few more days and then leave. They would not deliberately hunt zombies in large numbers like before. Anyway, the difficulty of upgrading to the next level would increase. Yun Shuhuai planned to let the zombies evolve, so that the crystal cores they hunted later would be of high quality and not so many would be needed.

They stood at the bridgehead and looked at the crowded bridge. Xi Qing stepped forward and stretched out her hand towards the bridge.

"Boom!"

A stream of impact air hit the front violently like a cannonball. The cars blocking the bridge were blown up in an instant, along with the zombies, and flew to both sides and fell into the lake. The bridge was cleared in an instant.

They stepped onto the bridge and began to move towards the island in the middle of the lake.

In a small supermarket on the island in the middle of the lake, several survivors were hiding in an office on the second floor.

They had been on the island for more than two months. Due to various reasons, they did not reach the rooftop in time and missed the chance to be rescued. All the bridges were blocked and there were zombies on the bridges, so they could not escape at all, so they were trapped here.

There were actually quite a few survivors on the island, but the buildings here were too high, and many people were killed by zombies before they could climb to the rooftop. Some even had the rooftop collapsed.

The rescue team also sent a team to rescue them, but they misjudged the number and threat of the zombies, and were all surrounded and killed by the zombies shortly after landing.

These people occupied a small supermarket, which had enough supplies to keep them going for a long time.

"What was that sound just now?" Xu Lan looked out the window, but was blocked by the building and couldn't see anything.

Zhang Zhuofei replied, "I don't know. It sounds like there's some noise coming from the East Bridge. Maybe some group of people are trying to escape from the bridge again."

Cao Mujie next to him waved his hand, "Escape? The bridge is completely blocked. Where can we escape? Even the people above have given up on us. Don't you think that there hasn't been a helicopter in the past few weeks. Who can save us?" He turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhuofei again and said, "It's a waste of effort for you to go to the rooftop every day to put up a distress sign. The rescue team has already run away. I don't want to risk my life to go up with you again. I don't have superpowers like you."

Zhang Zhuofei's face was not good. He almost understood it, but he just didn't want to give up any chance. The rescue team had come every day before.

There were five of them now. They were not particularly familiar with each other. They met while escaping.

On the day of the accident, Zhang Zhuofei was anxious to find his girlfriend Xu Lan, so he ran out early with his weapon. While being chased by zombies, he discovered that he had fire powers and successfully ran to his girlfriend's company to find her.

At that time, Xu Lan had been hiding with her colleague Wang Lulu for a few days, and she also discovered that she had wood powers. She controlled the green lotus raised in the company's office to seal the door tightly, so she was not caught by the zombies.

After they met up, they relied on the two superpowers to live a comfortable life, but the bridge was blocked early, and there were many zombies on the side of the bridge. They couldn't kill them, so they could only find a place to hide. Later, they rescued Cao Mujie from the zombies. When they were looking for food, they met Sun Yong, a power user who was targeted by other users. So they formed a team of five.

But after all, the members of their team were a temporary team, and only Cao Mujie and Wang Lulu did not have superpowers.

Cao Mujie was ambitious and looked down on Zhang Zhuofei. Although he was taller and more handsome than Zhang Zhuofei, he was a very popular type before the end of the world and was highly praised by his suitors. But now it is the end of the world, and he is just an ordinary person without superpowers. The two girls in the team only revolve around Zhang Zhuofei, and he can only follow them and move things as a coolie.

As the only man in the team, Cao Mujie had to go with them every time they searched for supplies, because he was strong and could run fast. The two girls stayed behind to watch the house and defend.

Although the rescue team came later, there were many survivors on the island. They fought for supplies at first, and then started killing each other for the chance of rescue.

The buildings here are high and full of zombies. Those who can run to the rooftop to be rescued are either those who are close or those who kill by strength.

Even if some people run up at the risk of their lives, the helicopter can only rescue a few at a time. Even if they climb to the rooftop, they may not be picked up by the first batch. If they stay on the rooftop, they may be caught by the zombies that catch up and break through the rooftop door.

Moreover, there are very few drones sent here, only two or three a day, sometimes even only one, and you don’t know which building’s survivors will be rescued first.

It’s a mess here, and sometimes the building is on fire and smoking, which will interfere with other people’s rescue signals.

Every day, people try to run to the top of the building, so gradually, many rooftops of the buildings are occupied by zombies, and these superpowers are not enough to kill them unscathed.

Some people think that since the rescue team has come, they plan to wait a little longer, but as time goes by, the helicopters no longer come, and they miss the rescue opportunity. Now they can only hide on the island and survive.
