Chapter 217 Cruel
Several people got off the helicopter. It was inconvenient to move in protective clothing, so everyone went back to the space to change clothes and brought out all the staff of the institute.
Li Xiaoqiu insisted on coming out, and Lin Xi didn't say much, just said: "Stay with me."
She put away the helicopter, and the thirty-seven people in the institute plus Li Xiaoqiu's thirty-eight people were divided into two teams. Director Wang and Lin Xi led one team each and advanced towards the streets of the town.
Most people in the research institute have ability levels of B and A, after all, they are all old people.
Li Xiaoqiu is still at level D. Mu Qingzhou and Qi Mo were at a high level when they awakened. After practicing in Dongshen Mountain for a month, they have reached level B.
Perhaps the level of the first batch of zombies that had just been infected was not high enough. Wherever the people went, fireballs, lightning, ice cones, and various superpowers were released, and the zombies fell down one after another.
But after many zombies fell down, they stood up again covered in blood.
Lin Xi observed while beating the zombies. She found that only the zombies whose heads were smashed or cut off were completely dead.
She shouted, "Attack their heads! Hitting anywhere else is useless!"
The entire town had only four or five streets in total. Everyone quickly cleared all the zombies on the streets, and then cleared out all the zombies in the houses.
Lin Xi saw that the young man who had been sucked of all his blood had now turned into a zombie, circling in the room like a headless fly.
Lin Xi threw a wind blade over and cut off his head.
In a room, Li Xiaoqiu found a zombie rat.
The mouse was larger than an ordinary mountain mouse, its eyes had turned white, it moved slowly, and it showed its sharp fangs at them.
Li Xiaoqiu threw an ice pick and pierced the mouse's head.
Then he threw seven or eight ice spikes in a row, smashing the mountain rat's head into pieces.
Mu Qingzhou stood behind Li Xiaoqiu, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he watched.
After living in the space for half a month, he met Li Xiaoqiu several times, but Li Xiaoqiu never spoke to him. She always pursed her lips and walked away quickly, not even looking at him straight in the eye, which made him very uncomfortable.
He walked silently behind Li Xiaoqiu, keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings.
After clearing out the entire town, Lin Xi fetched some water from a nearby small lake.
There were several dead zombies by the lake. Lin Xi wanted to do some tests later to see if the water here was polluted.
Director Wang came over and said to Lin Xi, "I think we should go back to the Dongshen Mountain Shelter. The people there don't know there are zombies outside yet, so it would be good for us to remind them."
Lin Xi nodded, "Then go back, I'll fly the helicopter."
Lin Xi quickly turned the helicopter around and soon stopped it in the open space in front of the shelter. After folding the helicopter, several people went back into the shelter.
I have to say that the people here really don't have any sense of crisis at all. The door of the shelter is just open, and some people are going in and out of the door.
Walking into the shelter, Director Wang took out a loud speaker and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. We just found a zombie outside."
"The shelter is still safe at the moment. Everyone, don't run around. Zombies are probably humans infected with the virus. If you're attacked by zombies, you might turn into something disgusting like that."
Many people stood up and shouted, "Is this true?"
"Is it the zombies from the movies?"
"Why is this happening?"
"Oh my God, is there any way to survive?"
Director Wang could only continue shouting, "We don't know why this happened, but it's not safe outside. Everyone, stay in the shelter and try not to go out."
Someone shouted, "How is this possible? The food we brought is almost gone. If we don't go out to find something to eat, are we going to starve to death here?"
"Yeah, we can't live in this place forever, right?"
Director Wang was a little tired. "This is the situation outside right now. It's up to you whether you want to go out or not."
"We came back just to tell you about the situation."
A dark-skinned man shouted, "I don't believe you're that kind-hearted. You must have some ulterior motive for not letting us out."
Lin Xi looked at the man coldly, "Then tell me what our purpose is?"
The man sneered, "I don't know what your purpose is, anyway, don't pretend to be a good person."
Lin Xi pulled Director Wang, "We've said everything we need to say. Forget it, let's go."
The older sister who had chatted with Lin Xi before ran over and pulled Lin Xi aside and asked, "Where did you see the zombies?"
Song Huaijin stood next to Lin Xi and said in a deep voice, "It's a place called Guangfu Town. There were quite a few zombies there, but we killed them all."
Lin Xi whispered to her elder sister, "Zombies don't have any consciousness, but they will attack people instinctively."
"Try to avoid being scratched or bitten by zombies to avoid infection."
The eldest sister grabbed Lin Xi and asked, "Since there are so many zombies outside, where are you planning to go?"
Before Lin Xi could say anything, the dark-faced man said sarcastically, "Haha, that's a good question. If you told us not to go out, why are you going out yourself?"
Lin Xi raised her hand and a wind blade appeared, and a line of blood instantly appeared on the man's cheek.
He covered his face, "You, you dare to fight me!"
Lin Xi said coldly: "Men who talk too much are the most annoying!"
"Aren't you asking why we can go out but you can't?"
"That's why, with this kind of strength, you can run around as you please."
The man covered his face and said nothing, staring at Lin Xi with hatred in his eyes.
The eldest sister was about to cry, "What should I do? How did the world suddenly become like this?"
The eldest sister's daughter hugged her mother's arm and said, "What should we do? We can't go out, but we are almost out of food and water."
They have been staying in this shelter for almost twenty days.
The eldest sister suddenly looked at Lin Xi with hope, "You are so capable, please take us with you."
Lin Xi was silent.
Her space is more than enough to accommodate everyone here.
However, there are still two or three thousand people here, and so many people need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. No matter how much supplies there are in the space, they will soon be exhausted.
Food won't grow that quickly.
If so many people really entered the space, I guess there would be endless fights, quarrels, and robberies every day.
And if I save them, will I save them if I meet someone next time?
There is a limit to the space; it is impossible for people to enter indefinitely.
You can only harden your heart and selectively save some people, such as relatives, partners and friends.
There was really no way she could help these strangers much.
Lin Xi gritted her teeth and said, "I, we can't take you away. Besides, everywhere in this world is like this. Where else can we go?"
"Everyone can only take care of themselves."
