The sound of grief and indignation brought tears to everyone's eyes.
Some of the people who turned into zombies were rescued from overseas.
They felt they had seen hope, but a rainstorm took their lives.
The city of Xiuli Star originally housed 1 million survivors, but now less than 400,000 remain.
Battalion Commander Lu arrived with 3,000 soldiers, who dispersed to various parts of Xiuli Star City.
The area of Xiuli Star City is too large to concentrate rescue efforts in one place.
Due to the evolution of zombies, even super-powered zombies have appeared, making the fight extremely difficult for everyone.
Even with people like Fang Xiyue who possess level one or higher superpowers, it's just a drop in the ocean.
There were just too many zombies, too many to even estimate.
The superpowered zombies have level one superpower right from the start, making it very difficult for many superpowered individuals who have just reached level one to fight them.
Many survivor teams from the residential building also came out to help.
Many of them had previously worked on missions with the military, so they weren't afraid.
Because of Fang Xiyue's jade shop, many survivors can buy jade to upgrade their abilities, so many survivor teams now have their abilities at level one.
Jade shops are always the first to sell out as soon as they open.
Those ability users who couldn't upgrade their abilities due to a lack of jade resources were completely unable to fight against these zombies.
Their superpowers are not even as useful as guns.
As the number of zombies increased, the survivor team was no longer able to fight them off.
This won't do. Fang Xiyue found Su Zheyu and asked him to help her lift the zombies into the air and then throw the bombs in.
Bang, bang, bang! Explosions rang out, accompanied by the falling remains of zombies onto the ground.
At this point, there were no survivors fleeing outside.
They've either already assimilated into zombies, or they've run to safe residential buildings or the wind-based protective walls built by Fang Xiyue.
If a zombie comes, it will be blown away on the spot. Level 3 ability is completely overwhelming against level 1 zombies.
At this moment, all the survivors were united. Even those who had argued over trivial matters before were now willing to open the windows and pull other survivors inside.
Of course, the injured survivors knew they might turn into zombies, so instead of running towards crowded areas, they chose to run towards more remote, uninhabited areas.
If they're lucky, they can become superhumans; if they're unlucky, they'll become zombies and won't be able to get out, preventing them from harming more people.
Those injured survivors who chose to leave will not be called back; everyone here is an adult and has their own rational judgment.
The battle lasted until 8 p.m., and in less than four hours, they killed 150,000 zombies.
With a roar, the zombies retreated!
Everyone collapsed there, gasping for breath. They had survived, they had survived! Tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.
"Inspect personnel for casualties, burn zombie corpses!"
Battalion Commander Lu used a loudspeaker to make a message.
This was a job anyone could do, and the survivors in the apartment building all came down to help.
"Xi Yue, I've reported to the higher-ups that I'd also give you ownership of Xiuli Star City. Could you please also install protective devices here?"
Battalion Commander Lu's eyes were red. He couldn't bear to watch one vibrant life after another slip away before his eyes.
He had previously discovered that Jingxiu Star City was extremely safe, and zombies simply couldn't get in.
When they arrived, some survivors ran into Fang Xiyue's commercial street, and the zombies that chased after them were stopped outside.
He knew it was all because of Fang Xiyue.
The commercial street wasn't like this before, so he guessed that Xi Yue's technological abilities were limited.
Only properties belonging to Fang Xiyue can have such a protection mechanism installed.
Otherwise, Xiyue would definitely have talked to me about buying and selling the protection mechanism before.
If possible, he would even like to give Xiyue ownership of the entire Spruce District!
Because he believed that Xi Yue was not there to seize power, but to save the world!
[Ding! Post-Apocalyptic Advanced Mission 1 Issued: Acquire ownership of the Spruce District;]
Mission Reward: 1 Protective Energy Shield.
Mission failed: No penalty.
The system has quite ambitious goals!
"Uncle Lu, I understand how you feel, but there will definitely be many people who object."
Fang Xiyue understood Battalion Commander Lu's feelings, but it was clear that his assumptions were unrealistic.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives. Just like the survivor community managed by Battalion Commander Zhao, would he be willing to have it under his own name?
Those survivor communities can earn a considerable amount of crystals just from rent each month.
Xiuli Star City is under the jurisdiction of Battalion Commander Lu because Xiuli Star City does not charge rent. If rent were charged, someone would definitely try to take over the management rights, since they also need to support their own soldiers.
"I'm going to try no matter what. I refuse to believe that these people would disregard the lives of all the survivors for their own benefit. Without survivors, who are they going to manage?!"
Battalion Commander Lu knew, of course, that what Fang Xiyue said was true, but he still wanted to give it a try.
Even if the final result is not satisfactory, at least the ownership of Xiuli Star City should be fine.
Fires were lit one after another, and Ye Zimo and all the healing-type ability users in his Dawn Squad were treating the wounded soldiers and survivors.
Dandan and Sister Xiu also moved among the injured people. Everyone was busy, no one was crying, but everyone was crying.
The battle resulted in the loss of 283 soldiers and the survival of 3,284 survivors, not including those who mutated into zombies.
The number of casualties in other communities is still unknown, as are those in other districts.
