Chapter 112 Departure

"Let's talk about it later. The situation is a mess right now. Jin Qinjiu is on the verge of going crazy. Don't provoke him," Mu Qingyu said. She had guessed that if Jin Qinjiu wanted to leave, someone would try to stop him, but she didn't expect the methods to be so drastic.

The rooftop is a mess now, and she doesn't want to get involved in their mess. She'll just clear out the area downstairs and not go back to the rooftop.

The group fought their way through the zombies from morning till evening, finally clearing the entire hospital building of zombies. This time, they even took care of the corpses along the way.

They threw them all onto the lawn outside, and Mu Qingyu and the fire-type ability users in Jing Chen's team set them on fire, burning the corpses.

While burning the corpses, Mu Qingyu discovered something: the zombie horde would actively avoid the burning fire.

"Huh?!" Mu Qingyu seemed to be deep in thought. In her previous life, she had been killing zombies in a mixed group of low-level superpowered individuals and ordinary people. For five whole years, she hadn't even been able to leave the city.

She had never fought alongside fire-type ability users, so she didn't realize that zombies would actively avoid flames.

This avoidance isn't out of fear, but more like an instinctive urge to stay away from the source of danger.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingyu's surprise caught Jing Chen's attention.

"Look," Mu Qingyu pointed to the horde of zombies outside the building, "they will leave the fire source on their own."

After observing for a while, Jing Chen nodded: "Indeed, it seems like an instinct, but not fear. If there are new things they like in the fire, they'll still rush in, right?"

Mu Qingyu nodded: "But we can use this to get out of here—the method might be a bit disgusting..."

Jing Chen's most endearing trait is his intelligence. He understood as soon as Mu Qingyu finished speaking: "You want to smear zombie fluid on your body, then set it on fire, and use that to leave Qingshan Hospital?"

Mu Qingyu nodded: "As long as we can avoid the hordes of zombies, I have a car in my space." She didn't hide from the others when she spoke, which meant that everyone who came down to kill zombies today heard her.

Old Jiang hesitated for a moment: "Is your vehicle big enough for all of us to leave together?" There are five of them, nine people on Jing Chen's side, and five people on Mu Qingyu's side. We'll need a bus.

Mu Qingyu understood his thoughts and smiled, "Two jeeps and a few motorcycles are enough to get us out of here. My village isn't far from this one either."

Old Jiang was clearly surprised: "The space is so big?" His understanding of space was more like the size of a small room or a small house... How could it fit so many cars?

Mu Qingyu smiled but remained silent, offering no answer to his question.

Jing Chen thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "Maybe it's feasible. It's not a solution for us to stay trapped here forever." In fact, the survivors living here had been divided ever since Li Ke left the group.

Then there was the rift between him and Jin Qinjiu; their eventual separation was probably only a matter of time. However, what happened on the rooftop this morning accelerated the collapse of morale, and who knows what might happen if they remained trapped here any longer.

Mu Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's kill zombies for another day tomorrow and clear out more of them outside. Then, we'll leave quietly in the early morning the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow morning? Why?" Old Jiang was quite puzzled.

This time, without Mu Qingyu needing to explain, Jing Chen first cleared up Old Jiang's doubts: "First, we need time to prepare for leaving. For example, how to obtain a fire source, how to avoid infection when applying zombie fluids, etc. Do you want to leave without making any preparations at all?"

Old Jiang was taken aback for a moment. He was a rough man and didn't think that much about it.

"Secondly, the people on the rooftop, they didn't want to let Jin Qinjiu leave alone, but they were willing to let us leave? We can't let them find out that we want to leave, otherwise as long as they make a sound, our plan will fail."

“The firelight is too bright at night, and people on the rooftop can spot it quickly. In the early morning, when everyone is asleep and the sky is already bright, the firelight is not obvious.”

Old Jiang nodded and stopped talking. He realized that both Jing Chen and Mu Qingyu were more meticulous and thoughtful than him, so there was no need for him to offer any more opinions.

"Let's rest for a bit and have something to eat, then we can discuss things while we eat," Mu Qingyu said.

After breakfast, everyone had been killing zombies all day, and they hadn't stopped even at noon. They were all hungry and tired.

Chef Han Yu was in charge again this time. She cooked a pot of porridge and a pot of instant noodles for dinner, focusing on simplicity and convenience.

Mu Qingyu didn't deliberately distinguish between "yours" and "mine" with Jing Chen and the others. They all killed zombies together for a day, cooperating with each other and no one slacked off. Mu Qingyu was in charge of all the ingredients.

Afterwards, Mu Qingyu and Jing Chen discussed it for a long time before the whole plan was finally finalized.

Then everyone chose the second floor, where Cheng Xijun had originally stayed, and decided to rest there for the night.

Jing Chen went back to the rooftop. Firstly, he had left two people there to guard the rooftop, and secondly, he wanted to talk to Jin Qinjiu and tell him that the zombies in the building had been cleared out, and that they had decided to stay on the second floor.

People on the rooftop can also decide where they live.

However, in the end, only Jing Chen and the two people he brought back to stay behind returned.

Jin Qinjiu was not in a good mood all day. After Mu Qingyu and the others left, he and Wang Shu tried to start the helicopter again, but this time, the helicopter could not be started no matter what they did.

Then Jin Qinjiu started staring blankly at the helicopter. Even when Jing Chen spoke to him later, he didn't react much.

The people on the rooftop don't plan to move down. The rooftop makes them feel safe. Perhaps because they were previously trapped in the underground air-raid shelter, they are now afraid of living in buildings.
