Chapter 73 The Unique Persuasive Power of a Big Shot

Meng Shiwan leisurely ate barbecue, enjoyed the night view, and killed zombies.

It wasn't until after midnight that I finally got ready to pack up and go to sleep.

Ta Xue curled up in a ball on the chair next to her, burying her head in her stomach and sleeping soundly.

Meng Shiwan got up to clear the table, startling it awake. The dog opened its two round eyes and looked at Meng Shiwan with a slightly bewildered expression.

Meng Shiwan smiled and said, "Go sleep downstairs."

Ta Xue stood on the chair, stuck out her butt, stretched out a big yawn, and went downstairs.

Meng Shiwan pressed the remote control, and the roof of the car slowly descended.

She took the tableware downstairs to wash it and put it into her spatial storage. After washing up, she changed into comfortable pajamas, hugged Taxue, and went to bed.

The lights inside the RV dimmed, and the sprawling vines fell limply to the ground.

The horde of zombies swarmed around the RV, scratching and howling.

Suddenly, as if they had lost their target, they stared with empty eyes and surged toward the clearing machine that was still working ahead.

In the dead of night, Anjavin was still working, sipping coffee, watching the zombies surging in from behind, and humming a little tune.

The clearing machine is well-fortified; these zombies can't get in.

He was safe in the driver's seat.

Late into the night, Tao Yarong drove her truck and caught up with the tow truck.

He jumped from the truck roof onto the tow truck roof, climbed into the tow truck's cab, and switched shifts with Anjawen.

When Meng Shiwan woke up, the sun was blazing outside. She checked the time and it was only a little past eight in the morning.

After a night of hard work, a very long road was cleared ahead.

There were no more tow trucks or vans in sight; only terrifying and hideous zombies roamed around.

Meng Shiwan wasn't in a hurry to catch up; she decided to wash up and have breakfast first.

Open a can of meat for Taxue and pour in some cat food.

She took out fried dough sticks and cold side dishes from the refrigerator and had a simple breakfast.

I sat in front of the cupboard, looking out the window at the street.

Under the intense heat, even the air itself became distorted.

The zombies wandering outside had dried-out flesh, resembling mummies that had been dried for a month, and were aimlessly roaming.

There was a huge pile of dried-up zombie corpses on the ground, all of which she had killed last night.

Just looking at this scene makes me feel hot inside.

"Meow."

After Ta Xue finished eating, he stood on the shoe cabinet and called out to Meng Shiwan.

Meng Shiwan refused, saying, "We need to leave now, and we'll go to the farm tonight to pick catnip for you."

Meow~

Ta Xue lay slumped on the sofa with her head down, looking a little unwilling, but she didn't insist.

Meng Shiwan patted its head, went to the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and went to find Tao Yarong and the others.

She drove around two corners before she finally saw their car.

They cleared two streets in one night, which is quite efficient.

One of the tow trucks and the other truck were stopped in the middle of the road.

Another tow truck was working diligently about 200 meters ahead.

Meng Shiwan parked her RV next to the truck, rolled down the window slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lei Zhe poked his head out of the driver's seat. "Sis, we're out of gas. Most of the cars around here are gasoline, diesel is hard to find."

Meng Shiwan asked, "Do you have an oil pump?"

Lei Zhe nodded, "Yes, we have them in the car."

Meng Shiwan stepped on the gas and stopped next to the clearing machine, saying, "Draw fuel from my tank."

Lei Zhe was taken aback. "Sis, if we take your oil, what will happen to your RV?"

Tao Yarong poked her head out of the truck cab, utterly unable to bear the sight. "Are you stupid? I have spatial abilities. I'll let you have your way. Why are you worried?"

Lei Zhe patted his head. "Look at me, I forgot about that. I'll get on with it now."

He got out of the driver's seat carrying the oil pump and unleashed his lightning-based superpower, causing the dozen or so zombies around him to smoke as he struck them.

Meng Shiwan closed the doors and windows and told Taxue, "I'm going out hunting. You stay home and behave yourself."

"Meow~" Go on.

Ta Xue lay lazily on the sofa and continued to sleep.

Meng Shiwan got out of the driver's seat. "Lei Zhe, do it yourself. Tao Yarong, the two of us will continue our hunt in the wild."

"Okay, sis."

Tao Yarong turned off the engine, got out of the driver's seat, and greeted Lei Zhe, "Please fill up my truck with gas later too."

"Okay." Lei Zhe was busy dealing with the zombies and fiddling with the oil pump in his hand, too busy to look up.

Meng Shiwan manipulated the vines to kill the zombies and walked towards the shop next door, with Tao Yarong following closely behind.

This street has a lot of furniture and building materials shops, but I didn't see many pharmacies.

She stopped as she passed a medical equipment store, her eyes taking in the various tools inside.

Chainsaws, electric chainsaws, lawnmowers, cutting machines, etc.

These things might come in handy; we can put them away for now.

Chainsaws and similar tools are extremely useful for killing zombies.

Tao Yarong stood guard at the door to keep the zombies away, giving Meng Shiwan time to collect the supplies.

There weren't many gold shops or pharmacies nearby, so the two of them walked further down the street.

Two girls were playing jungle and two boys were clearing the way. This strategy lasted for about three days before they finally pushed into the central area.

The central area has a high population density, so moving here puts a lot more pressure on people.

The zombies were like ants in an anthill, so densely packed they seemed to be piled up on top of each other.

At a glance, the road was filled with the swaying heads of zombies, one after another, which greatly hindered the progress of the clearing machine.

The defensive capabilities of the spikes surrounding the obstacle clearing machine were greatly reduced, and zombies climbed onto the vehicle by stepping on each other.

The zombies nearly overwhelmed several vehicles.

Fortunately, they also welded steel plates to the glass windows, otherwise the zombies would have smashed the glass and crawled inside to attack them long ago.

However, once the steel plate in front of the glass is closed, the road ahead cannot be seen, making it impossible to work.

The four vehicles were completely surrounded by the zombie horde and unable to advance an inch.

Lei Zhe asked for help in the group chat, "Sister, what do we do next? I can't get in."

Even though he had made various mental assumptions about the situation in the central area before he came.

Even though I could see what was happening outside through the gap, I still couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.

Luckily, he was hiding in the driver's seat. If he had been outside, he probably would have exhausted his powers and died in the zombie horde long ago.

He's now wondering if the Central Hospital can really accomplish its mission.

Will they really make it back alive?

Tao Yarong and An Jiewen were powerless to change the current situation and were waiting for Meng Shiwan to speak.

The only one who can solve the current predicament is probably a big shot.

Meng Shiwan stuffed the last bit of the ice cream cone into her mouth, making a crunchy sound.

She declared, "Make way for me, let me lead the charge."

She had been farming in the wild, accumulating resources and crystals, and she didn't help with clearing roadblocks.

She has no choice but to help in this situation; she has to step in.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to get to the central hospital.

"Okay, sis, we'll make room right away."

Tao Yarong responded immediately and took action.

They had no idea what method Meng Shiwan had to deal with the ant-like horde of zombies and the solid traffic jam on the roads.

But they unconditionally believed in Meng Shiwan.

If Meng Shiwan says there's a way, then there is a way.

This is probably the unique persuasive power of a big shot.
