Chapter 328 Cleanup (Part 1)

The photos in the phone's album were passed around one by one.

"I don't know him. Who is this?" Duan Xi nodded casually, saying nonchalantly, "He's quite handsome."

"How could we possibly know someone like that..."

Upon noticing the six college students nearby, Tao Haohao quickly changed his tune: "How could I possibly know anyone here?"

Xie Tu took the phone and carefully examined the person in the photo. "Who is this person?"

Yun Zhao truthfully replied, "Chen Xi's boyfriend is named Gu Ruicheng."

"survivor?"

"Um."

Xie Tu returned the phone to him, saying, "I'll have Peregrine look for it this afternoon."

She wouldn't ask that for no reason.

There must have been other discoveries.

Yun Zhao nodded, "Then let's go out together after we finish eating, and call a few more survivors."

The other side has been cleaned up.

We'll definitely be leaving the island this afternoon, and we'll collect all the supplies nearby while we're at it. The survivors can help them move the supplies.

"Okay, let's eat and chat." Xie Tu gestured for everyone to go to the restaurant.

The college students made a seafood hot pot.

As soon as you step into the restaurant, the aroma of steaming hot food wafts over you.

On the table are prepared king crab, turbot, prawns, razor clams...

The college students' cooking skills are generally average.

Fortunately, there were ready-made seasoning packets; all I had to do was pour them into the pot and mix them with the broth.

Liao Yuxuan brought out the heated pre-cooked food and greeted them, "Dinner's ready."

Tao Haohao and Duan Xi quickly ran to wash their hands.

Xie Tu lagged two steps behind and followed.

After killing zombies all morning, they were covered in the stench of corpses. Others might not notice, but it was a real ordeal for the sentries with their keen senses.

After washing their hands, the group returned, sat down, and began to eat.

Qi Ling was gnawing on the cooked meat when she saw how much they were enjoying it. She hesitated and asked, "Does seafood count as meat?"

He wanted to try it too.

Song Liang pushed a plate of prawns toward him, "Try it and you'll see."

Qi Ling shook his head abruptly, "Forget it."

He had only eaten a bag of snacks from Yun Zhao that day, but his stomach ached all night, and he was still shaken by it.

Xie Tu slowly peeled the shrimp and put it into Yun Zhao's bowl, saying, "This afternoon, we'll scavenge for supplies and clear out the zombies at the same time. We'll go over later and select a group of strong survivors to come with us."

Tao Haohao glanced at the college students, who had already sat down and started eating. There were only two tables of people in the huge restaurant, and they were far apart.

Tao Haohao whispered, "With those survivors around, it'll be difficult for Fire Phoenix to exert its full power."

Fire Phoenix often cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

In the morning, they set fire to the island, and several fireballs were thrown in their direction. The survivors didn't have the skills of the sentries; if they were hit by the fire phoenixes, they would surely die on the spot.

Xie Tu: "Fire Phoenix didn't follow us this afternoon; it acted alone."

Yun Zhao was engrossed in eating shrimp when he heard this, so he looked up and asked, "Should we take it to the beach?"

Xie Tu put the freshly peeled shrimp into her bowl, then took another one and continued peeling. "Mmm."

There are many zombies along the coast.

There were no supplies there, and facing a large horde of zombies in an open area, it was perfect for a fire attack.

Fire Phoenix: [...]

The little guy stood on the chair behind Yun Zhao, listening to the main body clearly explain how he had been arranged.

Song Liang had finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and took out a map. "The coastline of this polluted area is about two hundred kilometers long. Is the captain planning to clean up the shore to lure the survivors from Peach Blossom Island into the city?"

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Tu nodded slightly, his hands still peeling shrimp: "That's right. Peach Blossom Island is resource-poor, and we'll have to find a new way out sooner or later. Once we clean up the coastline, those people will naturally come out."

Team Zero not only needs to eliminate all the zombies in the city, but also needs to collect enough supplies to take out.

The strength of those seven people alone is far from enough.

The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes.

Only four nights have passed, and the zombies' speed and agility have already evolved to the level of athletes. At this rate of evolution, the zombies will become stronger and stronger.

Song Liang stood up. "Then I'll go and select some people."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go with you."

I also went over to arrange the afternoon's work.

Apart from the survivors who went out with them to scavenge for supplies, the others who remained on the island began building defensive lines on all four sides in the afternoon to prevent zombies from landing.

They still need to go out and bring back some more building materials.

Xie Tu watched her departing figure, then threw the freshly peeled shrimp into his mouth before starting to eat.

Yun Zhao and Song Liang went to the next room.

About a hundred people were eating in the restaurant. They hadn't gone out in the morning, and those who had finished eating weren't in a hurry to leave. They sat together in twos and threes chatting.

The two informed the survivors of the afternoon's arrangements.

I heard that we are going to leave the island to search for supplies.

The once noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent, and for a moment no one uttered a sound.

The outside is full of zombies.

Everyone had finally escaped from a dangerous place to get here, but now they have to go out and face those terrifying zombies.

Jing Yao looked around and noticed that the people around him were avoiding his gaze, and they all seemed to want to crawl under the table to hide.

Dong Hui and the others also looked unwilling.

The six men were strong and had been engaged in manual labor before the disaster, so they were stronger and more patient than the other survivors.

If you really had to name names, their names would most likely be on the list.

I should have gone back to my room right after dinner. What am I doing staying here...?

Jing Yao sighed helplessly. He was a veteran after all, and searching for supplies was indeed his job. Now that there was no productivity, more than a hundred people couldn't just sit around and eat up the resources.

He was about to stand up and respond.

But then Song Liang slowly said, "Everyone who goes out to scavenge for supplies is allowed to bring their own backpacks. The food in their backpacks does not need to be handed over when they return."

If you want people to work willingly, you must provide them with good benefits.

They couldn't fit much in a backpack, but the entire city's supplies were waiting for them outside.

Team Zero wouldn't be stingy with these supplies.

As soon as Song Liang spoke, those who had been resisting instantly became hesitant.

Jingyao and his companions were the first to stand up. "Let's go."

Yun Zhao looked up at him at the opportune moment.

The young man was still wearing that motorcycle armor, his eyes were resolute, and his body was straight, making him stand out in the crowd.

Because they were in different groups these past two days, Yun Zhao rarely spoke to them.

I haven't found an opportunity to contact these men yet.

Jingyao is a mechanic at the motorcycle club. Could those two seemingly ambiguous sentences in the registration book have been written by him?

“We’ll go too!” Several more people gritted their teeth and stood up, one of whom was Ren Xin’s father.

He has a wife and children, and he's unsure whether the group of superhumans will continue to provide them with food after they finish their work on the island.

He needs to plan for the future and stock up on food now.

Moreover, going out with someone with superpowers should guarantee safety, which is much better than acting alone in the future.
