After driving two kilometers, you can see zombies wandering around on the road. Shen Qing leaned on the car window and looked out. The zombies didn't react much to the car passing by. Occasionally, they would stop and look in the direction of the car, as if trying to figure out something. But as the car drove away, they would soon continue to wander along the original path.
It was very different from the way Shen Qing had seen people chasing after others before.
Shen Qing was a little confused, and then he heard Qu Weiwei say: "Do you want to go down and practice first?"
Their iron net tactics had never been put into practice in combat. There weren't many zombies here, so it was a good opportunity to practice.
"Sure!" Tang Wenjie was eager to try, "It's at the intersection ahead, pull over!"
"Are you in the car or are you coming with us?" Song Kaiji asked Xingye. Xingye waved his hands repeatedly: "I'll stay in the car, I won't go down with you."
Xingye didn't know much about their iron net tactics. For an ordinary person like him, of course, saving his life was the first priority. Song Kaiji offered a good reward, and Xingye didn't want to take more risks for the time being without understanding their tactics.
Song Kaiji nodded, understanding his thoughts, and turned to Shen Qing: "What about you? How about you stay in the car first, and the three of us will practice and get used to each other, and then you can come out next time?"
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment. He had originally planned to follow Song Kaiji closely, but now that Xing Ye was in the car with him, it could also cover up the fact that he would not be attacked by zombies. He was not afraid of fighting zombies, but he was worried that if he got off the car, Song Kaiji would have to be distracted to protect him. The first test run-in was somewhat risky, so Shen Qing nodded: "Then you guys be careful."
Song Kaiji agreed, took a few deep breaths to adjust himself, and said to Tang Wenjie, "Open the window."
Tang Wenjie pressed the button to lower the window.
In an instant, Shen Qing smelled a faint stench in the air. And those zombies who had previously ignored them and walked on their own, seemed to suddenly come alive, turning their heads and running towards the car!
Shen Qing was looking out the window. Although he knew that the zombies would not attack him, he still felt creepy when he saw those zombies with rotten bodies and even missing limbs running towards him. There seemed to be rotten flesh falling as they ran.
At the same time, Song Kaiji immediately released the semi-finished iron net in the space, and Tang Wenjie quickly released his supernatural powers, controlling the semi-finished iron net to quickly adjust its shape.
"Get out of the car!" Qu Weiwei shouted, and got out of the car first. Tang Wenjie and Song Kaiji followed closely behind, and the three of them got out of the car and immediately got into the iron net.
In a few breaths, the semi-finished iron nets condensed into a round cylinder with a diameter of more than ten feet, like a birdcage. Song Kaiji and the other two hid in the birdcage, and Tang Wenjie used his supernatural power to control the birdcage, which was four fingers wide from the ground and slowly moved to the side. At the same time, Xing Ye quickly closed the car door and raised the window.
Shen Qing watched helplessly as the zombies turned around and stopped running towards the car, instead chasing after the huge iron cage. Qu Weiwei threw out a few seeds and released vines to poke the zombies' heads. Song Kaiji also took out a crossbow from the space, and the three of them quickly wiped out the few zombies around.
At this time, the seeds thrown by Qu Weiwei slowly grew into one vine after another.
"Tsk, the reaction is still a little slow." Qu Weiwei was a little annoyed. While squatting down to dig out the crystal core, she summed up the lesson: "It's still because the level of supernatural power is too low. Xiao Tang, you can make your cage bigger. The boss will be coming down later. At this size now, I feel like the zombies can reach me even if they stretch their arms."
In fact, there is still some distance, but Qu Weiwei just feels a little panicked and uncomfortable.
Tang Wenjie was very frustrated: "I just realized! I have full control over the cage with this tactic. I don't stand a chance of beating the zombies at all!!"
He wants to fight! He must fight! How can we not give him a chance to fight when he has such a strong ability! !
"Of course," Song Kaiji looked at his depressed expression and tried to hold back a laugh. "It's just that there are too few zombies here, so we dealt with them too quickly. When we get to a place with more zombies, you can put down the cage, and then you can free up your hands to attack, right?"
Several people chatted and laughed. Although the first actual combat was bound to have various disappointments, the result was still very good. Several people dug out more than a dozen crystal cores and returned to the car. Xing Ye was so excited: "Oh my God! Such a genius tactic, how did you come up with it!"
He had worked as a temporary worker in other teams and had seen some gold-type superpowers, but he had never seen such a safe and efficient tactic. Even ordinary people, as long as they had that safe iron cage, what would they be afraid of zombies? He originally just wanted to finish this mission in the car, but at this moment, he was tempted: "Can I go down with you next time?"
"This was something our boss came up with." Qu Weiwei said proudly.
"You can join after we get to school." Song Kaiji said. Next they would let Shen Qing join in for some familiarity.
Even so, Xing Ye was very satisfied. Not only could he earn Song Kaiji's reward on this trip, but he could also hunt some zombies safely. It was like pie in the sky.
What an amazing team... Xing Ye looked at these people who seemed a little clumsy and stupid. Who would have thought that they had such powerful tactics?
They practiced this three or four times along the way, and Shen Qing joined in from the second time. As the number of zombies increased and the battle time lengthened, Qu Weiwei's vine net finally took effect, and Tang Wenjie was finally able to put down the cage and use his life weapon to kill the zombies.
Shen Qing also slowly discovered that the zombies in this world did not seem to rely on vision and hearing to judge the existence of humans, but on smell. When they were in the car, even though the car made a huge roar, as long as the windows were closed and the "human smell" did not come out, the zombies could hardly sense the existence of humans.
This might not be so strange? Shen Qing looked at the zombie in front of him, whose eyeballs were rotting and falling out of their sockets. It was so rotten that of course it couldn't see anything.
But Shen Qing didn't know that this incident caused a small sensation at the beginning of the apocalypse. Because before the apocalypse, there were many movies and novels about zombies. In these works, the vision and hearing of zombies were actually very sensitive. In many works, the protagonist escaped danger by relying on the ringtone of the mobile phone or the alarm clock. At the beginning of the apocalypse, many people tried to imitate this behavior to escape, but all failed.
Until now, the research institute has not announced why zombies have lost their other five senses and only retained their sense of smell.
When facing the zombies, Shen Qing's hands were shaking at first: after all, they looked like humans and were also humans when they were alive. When he first met Song Kaiji, he was hesitant and didn't dare to take action. But seeing that everyone around him was killing without changing his expression, Shen Qing gradually overcame the discomfort in his heart. Once he overcame it, his aim was more accurate than Song Kaiji's, causing Song Kaiji to look at him several times.
"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Qing touched his face uncomfortably.
"Nothing." Song Kaiji thought of the first time he met Shen Qing, Shen Qing didn't have a crossbow yet. He was holding a knife that looked like a kitchen knife, preparing to sneak attack a zombie that was feasting. "I didn't expect you to learn the crossbow so quickly, and now you are so good at it."
Shen Qing raised his face with some pride: "Of course, I'm very smart and I can learn anything quickly!"
After walking and stopping many times, they finally arrived at their destination, Hongcheng No. 9 Yucai Middle School.
This school was originally a supporting facility for the demolished resettlement housing, and it is located in the suburbs. In fact, the teaching quality is not very good, and the area is not very large, only about 40 acres. There are two teaching buildings, a dormitory building, and an office building, and the teaching staff is less than 100 people. There are two small stationery stores, a bookstore, and some snack bars in front of the school.
Qu Weiwei looked outside and saw that there were more zombies here than before. Although the Hongcheng authorities had come to clean up the school once and rescued some teachers and students trapped in the school, after so much time had passed, many zombies from the periphery wandered over again, walking crookedly on the street.
The good thing is that there shouldn't be many zombies in the teaching building. Without the attraction of human touch, there should be no need for the zombies to go upstairs.
She pointed at the bookstore and asked, "Do you want to go down and take a look? Or go directly into the school?"
After these few practices, Qu Weiwei is no longer the same Qu Weiwei as before. She simply loves the feeling of beating zombies! She feels that they are now like cheaters in the game, without consuming any red and blue, just harvesting. Along the way, they have collected more than a hundred crystal cores, although it is not comparable to their daily expenses: Qu Weiwei sells vegetables for about the same amount in a day.
But the psychological pleasure it brings is incomparable to selling vegetables! She has now completely overcome the feeling of disgust at the sight of zombies, and even gets a little excited when she sees zombies coming from a distance.
If it doesn’t work, just go find some masks to block the smell!
Shen Qing didn't want to give up any of the books: "Go down and take a look!"
This time, Xing Ye will also join them. They parked the car in a secret place, not because they were afraid that the zombies would damage them, but because they were afraid that they would encounter other superpower teams and steal the car. Now, zombies are not a threat to them, but humans are more dangerous.
Song Kaiji lent Xing Ye a crossbow, and they got out of the car smoothly like they had done in the previous times, set open the metal cage and started killing zombies.
A steady stream of zombies came from other places, and Qu Weiwei's vine net blocked them out until all the zombies in the vine net were killed and the crystal cores were dug out. Then Qu Weiwei opened a hole and let another batch in. She killed them while feeling that the vines were plants and not as good as metal. The nets would be damaged after being attacked by zombies, and they had to be replanted from time to time, which consumed a lot of energy.
About half an hour later, the zombies had not been killed yet, and Qu Weiwei could no longer hold on: "No, I have killed three groups, and I don't have the strength to activate the net anymore." She looked at the open bookstore next to her: "Can we go to the store to rest for a while? I will absorb some crystal cores and we can fight again."
"You can't do it." Tang Wenjie urged his supernatural power to lift the net up, slowly approaching the bookstore, while grabbing a few crystal cores and absorbing them at the same time. Soon the crystal cores lost their luster in his hands and slowly broke into powder: "Haven't you practiced releasing supernatural power and absorbing crystal cores at the same time?"
Qu Weiwei was very upset! Do you think everyone is a freak like Tang Wenjie? It's not that she hasn't practiced before, but the effect is not good. If you are distracted, the absorption and release effects will be discounted. It is better to pause and concentrate on absorbing.
The few people slowly moved to the door of the bookstore. There were no zombies inside. The few zombies that were inside had already smelled the human scent and ran out at the beginning. The first two batches were eliminated. Tang Wenjie made a hole, and the few people entered the bookstore and sealed the door with a metal net. In this way, except for Qu Weiwei who went to the side to absorb the crystal core, the others could continue to use crossbows to attack the zombies through the metal net.
Shen Qing did not go hunting zombies anymore, but looked at the bookstore carefully.
This small bookstore is surprisingly similar to the bookstores in Anping County: there are bookcases all around, with all kinds of books neatly placed on them, and in the middle of the bookstore is a large table made up of several tables, which is also full of books. However, the appearance of these books is very different from that in Anping County.
After all, the book covers in Anping County are of a single color, basically stone blue, and are slightly larger than a palm. But the books here are of various colors and sizes. Shen Qing picked up a book and flipped through it: the words on it are very small, none of them are handwritten, and they are not printed like the ones in the bookstores in Anping County.
Song Kaiji killed zombies for a while and felt his arms ache. He turned around and saw Shen Qing studying a set of papers seriously, so he went over and asked, "Isn't your relative's child only eight or nine years old? He's already preparing for the college entrance examination?"
Shen Qing calmly put down the papers and said, "It's annoying to take your time to choose. Why don't you just help me put away all the books? We can go back and choose slowly."
Song Kaiji had no doubts. As long as there was space, this was actually the safest and best way. So he waved his hand, and all the books in the bookstore, including the bookshelves, were put into the space.
Shen Qing suddenly became curious: "How big is your space now?"
